NO MONEY FOR RUSSIA.

Congress has no business to appropriate
money for the relief of Russia or any
other country, and the House did per-
fectly right to squelch the attempt to OBJ
tain S100, 900 appropriation for such pur-
poses The matter of helping Russia's
starving peasants is praiseworthy enough,
and the Western flour men and others
who have created a fund of pro-
visions deserve credit, of course.
But Congress is not authorized to
divert the revenues of the nation to
foreign charity. The precedent of pro-
viding 100000, or any other sum, would be
dangerous. Moreover Russia's represen-
tives here still persist in the declaration
that the Cars Government is abundantly
able to succor the famine-stricken. To
offer national aid would be almost an
affront under the circumstances.
1t is not surprising that Mr. Chapman, of
Michigan, in the debate upon this Russian
appropriation, raised the question of Rus
sia's right to be considered participant
in the comfy of civilized nations.
The inhuman persecution of the Hebrews
by the Russian Government has evoked
protest from President Harrison in this
nations name, and great number of citi-
zens individually and collectively have
memorialized the Car upon the same sub
ject. Under the circumstances a vote of
our public money for the people who un-
doubtedly uphold the Russian Govern
ment in its cruel policy toward the
Hebrews would be in doubtful taste, to
put it mildly.

PITTsBURc. FRIDAY. JANUARY s.
THE LIBRARY AWARD.

The selection of the design for the Car
negie Library and Art Gallery building at
the Schenley Park entrance marks another
step in what seems to be the slow but
nevertheless steady progress toward the
final realization of that great gift. Not
withstanding tests at the time which has
been taken in reaching this conclusion,
anyone who has visited the exhibition of
plans, and considered the work implied in
the full consideration of the cost, capa-
billties and accommodations of nearly one
hundred different designs, will recognize
that the delay has not been due to instten-
tion, but to careful, thorough and ex-
haustive work
The selection of the Longfellow, Alden
& Harlow design promises for the public
architecture of Pittsburg variety of type
and character The effect of Mr..
Richardson's genius as illustrated in
the Court House has been bene-
fetal, but there would be little gain
to the architectural character of the city's
public edifices if all the buildings were of
the type illustrated by the Court House or
the Allegheny Library. Doubtless public
opinion on this choice will be as varied as
the differences in individual taste; but full
study of the design-a sketch of which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue-will reveal
constantly increasing virtues, and will
promise permanent establishment and
attraction to the city.
The controlling factor in the selection
was less the external attractiveness than
the convenience and adequacy of its
internal accommodations. In making this
the real criterion the Commission acted
wisely, not only because the utility of the
building is more important than its beauty,
but because by that course the highest
aesthetic principle is observed. The true
foundation of architectural beauty is in its
fitness for the purposes TO which the
building is to be put In selecting
the design which gives the best arrange
ment for library, music hall, art galleries
and museum, the Commission secure the
highest degree of permanent fitness and
lasting attractiveness.
It would have been gratifying to local
pride if one of the designs by Pittsburg
architects could have been selected But
as on the principle of selection adopted
the decision was otherwise, it is still
qualification that Pittsburg talent is so
well represented in the list Of premiums
for the six next best designs.

WAR RuMoRs AND P,rRIor1sM.

One thing rumorS Of war have done
during the last year for which we may be
thankful is the production of very
potent proofs of the common patriotism
of all the United States. When Italy
snarled last spring, from every corner of
this country came the response of loyal
men ready TO fight for the Stars and
Stripes. 1t is true, it never came very
near fighting, but the disposition of all
sections of the country 20 resent ma
tional insult was shown in unmistakable
shape Similarly. since Chiie's attitude
has raised another war cloud our patriots
nave made themselves heard.
NHe feature of this demonstration re-
he latent power of this nation upon
The naval department has been
1 with offers from yachtSmen
yners rendering their ships
aIlU services to the United States in case
of war. Commodore Watt, of the Ameri-
can Yacht Club, for instance, has offered
his feet steam yacht Golden Rod to the
Government to he used as torpedo boat.
Other equally available craft have been
rendered for use as torpedo cruisers,
transports, collierS and dispatch boats in
the event Of war with Chile This is
the sort Of support our Government
should receive, and is far better than
clustering talk. If the war scare produces
nothing worse than an exhibition of wide
spread patriotism in our beloved land we
may indeed be thankful.

before their purpose is fully understood If
we do not keep an eye on them. Measures
are sometimes advanced that would inter-
fere with our welfare, though they may not
be intended for that purpose. Our people
have fine farms and raise a large amount of
stock. We spend large sums of money each
year on our schools, and our people are in

SOLDIERS, NOT scAREcRows,NEEDEp

Massachusetts has set good example
by equipping her naval battalion with
modern repeating rifle. This is the first
militia corps in this country to be so
armed. Pennsylvania soldiers think
themselves rather lucky to have so mod
ern a weapon as the single loading Spring
field. This States treatment of her mill
tia is little short of disgraceful. Their
equipment is mostly thirteen years old at
least; the arms are antiquated. and in the
case of the artillery absolutely worthless,
excepting few gatling guns. The scant
appropriations are only sufficient to keep
the uniforms and munitions from positive
delay, and if the services of our militia
wese required for anything more serious
than police duty, they would have to be

NEw voRK,s PREFERENCEs.

The firm grip that David B. Hill has
upon his party in New York State is being
illustrated every day. The New York
Legislature is the latest to pay tribute to
his commanding genius. A canvass of the
Democratic side Of the Legislature reveals
the preference Of two-thirds of the men,
bers for Hill as Presidential candidate
OF the Democrats who stated their prefer
ences fifty-three are for Hi II, while but
four had the courage to stick to Cleveland
openly. Twenty-siX Democratic members
would not indicate their choice, but a
majority it is commonly believed are in
clining toward the Elmira wonder.
According to the usual Interpretation of
a legislative canvass in New York State
this portends a solid, or nearly solid dele
cation for Hill next summer AT the same
time it is worth noting that Hills rabid
deliYeranceS upon the Democratic policy
are meeting with sharp hostile criticism in
many Democratic papers, including some
that are reckoned favorable to the new
Senator's Presidential aspirations. The
evidence of as bitter a contest as ever be-
tween the Hill and Cleveland factions is
afording Republican journals great joy,
as it well may, for with New York State
by reason Of Democratic quarrels once
more in the doubtful list Republican
victory next fall comes clearly into view.
Before dismisSing the incident there is
another significant development of the
canvass of New York Legislature to be
noted. OF the Republican members no
less than three-quarterS prefer Secretary
Blaine, and what more eloquent contrast
could there be than the spectacle of fifty
members throwing up their hats for Blaine
while paltry six declare for President
Harrison. If these figures as whole may

BARNUM's BODY WAS BURIED.
The Story That a Dummy Was Used Is De
MED by Rev. DR.. Collyer.


NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-[SpecidLl-A story
which has found some believers was circu-
lated in Bridgeport, Conn.,. to the effect that
at the funeral or the late Phineas 7. Barnum
dummy did service instead of the re-
mains of the late Snowman. Rev. Dr.. Robert
Collyer delivered the funeral Grafton at the
obsequies. He was seen to-day in relation
to the story. He said: "I put my hand on
his forehead, then closed the coffin lid"
said the Rev. DR.. Robert Collyer this morn
ing, thus disposing of the statement that a
dummy of straw was buried in the place of
the body of the late Mr.. Barnum.
The alleged story was told with circum-
stances and detail. 1t was said that the
body was concealed in the house in Bridge
port for four days after the burial of the
similacrum and then inferred In secret in q
spot known only to Mrs. Barnum and few
friends. After ghouls had lost hope of get
ting the body it was to be reinterred be-
meath the granite slab. Hawley, Reynolds
& Wilmot, the undertakers, declare that the
story is false, and DR.. Collyer's statement
disposes of the matter for once and all.
