DEATH VI THE OCTOPUS.

IT is to be hoped, for the sake OF the whole
country no less than of Louisiana, that the
lottery is really dead.-Net0 York World
PERHAPS the people of Louisiana will ae-
cept the lottery company's professions OF a
willingness to go out OF business when its
political friends formally declare against re-
newing its charter.-.Ne0 York Sun.
THUS the lottery men, in the parlance of
the ring, throw up the sponge. They are
not to be wholly trusted, and possibly they
are insincere; but the probability is that
they have really surrendered.-NeV YORK
Commercial Advertiser.
THE blot is about to be wiped from the
escutcheon of the Pelican State and the
steady flow of money from people all over
the Union, millions of it from those who
could ill afford to inGulse in the practlce,
will be stopped.-Ohio State Journal
THE apparently definite and final settle
ment OF the loug-agitated question of the
nolitical and moral degradation" of the
State of Louisiana is too obvious to call for
extended comment As it is, or promises to
be. il is simply case of "Alfs Well That
Ends WelI."-Neto York Advertiser.
WE congratulate the people of Louisiana
that their State will soon be cleansed OF a
foul blot and we are pleased to inform the
thousands in our own State who have been
throwing away their money on the great
swindle that they will soon be delivered
from that Cleveland Piaindedier.
THE American press, with the exception
of a few subsidized Louisiana newspapers,
has stood like a stone wall in support of the
anti-lottery law and in defense of the adj
ministration in its attempt to crush the
giant Louisiana swindling concern, which
has at last gone to the wail.-Ueveland

GIVE EGAN HIS DUE.

The anti-Egan newspapers are in the
same need as the organs of the late blood
and thunder party of little instruction
as to the value of giving some attention to
the facts. This need is exhibited by their
rush to accuse Egan of dereliction of duty
in failing 10 inform his Government of the
fact that Chile had granted safe conduct
TO the refugees who had taken asylum at
his legation.
There are grave grounds for challenging
Mr.. Egan's conduct, but this is not one of
them. A comparison of existing docu-
ments will show that in his communica-
ton to Senor Malta, he enlarged ON the
features of Secretary Wharton's note con-
cerning the Valparaiso riot which were
calculated to produce international diff
Guilty, and that in cabling Senor Malta
reply he carefully suppressed the ex-
pressiOns that might have allayed the feel
ing. HIS faith in Balmaceda's success
was, to take the mildest view of it, a gross
blunder. The charge that he used his
official position to make his son agent to
press claim against Chile to the tune of
five and half million dollars, while not
yet supported by the official documentary
evidence that establishes the other matters
just referred to, is grave enough to call for
investigation. But this charge of failure
to inform the Government of the safe con-
duct is like a great deal that has been pub
lished on the other side of the case-two
parts of wind and one part of imagination
The most convincing proof to that effect
can be afforded to anyone who will take
the trouble to carry his memory back
scarcely three weeks. At that time the
Chilean Government painstakingly made
it evident to Mr.. Egan, Fighting Bob
Evans and the United States at large that
it did not grant any safe conduct to the
refugees. 1t simply looked the other way
while they went from Santiago to the
Yorktown in Valparaiso harbor 1t is
asking too much of Mr.. Egan to claim that
he should report the granting of safe con-
duct which, the Chilean Government tes-
titles, never was granted

ATEnPoRARY BACKsEr.

A dampening effect on the gayety of
politics will surely ensue when it is learned
that the ambition of our jovial friend
Colonel Andrew Stewart to participate in
legislating for the nation has been baked
by the negative of the House Committee
on Elections. The precedents of former
Congresses which are likely to obtain with
Democratic as well as Republican MAORI
ties make the report of this committee
practically decisive. In addition, the fact
that two Republican members of the COM
mittee voted to seat Craig, creates toler-
ably strong presumption that he has the
best of the joke by presenting the strong
est case.
Colonel Stewart, who inherits the cog
nomen as well as the Christian name of
''Tariff Andy from the Congressional
Stewart, is thus enforced to postpone his
desire to prove that ability as well as
fealty to the cause of protection runs in
the blood. But there are compensations.
While Colonel Stewart may not be able to
enliven the Congressional Record with his
humor, he can remain at his home in the
beautiful amphitheater of Ohio Pyle and
enjoy life there in his wonted style un-
vexed by calls of the House or the task of
hunting up appointments for patriotic
citizens of his district. He can also re-
feet with his wonted philosophy on large
compensations that the future has in store
for the man who can afford to wait till the
time when cross public opinion does not
set in motion land slide against the cham
pions of protection.

THE EFFEcrIyE PREPARATION.

The Chilean courts have gone far toward
making good the pledge of the Chilean
Government for reparation by sentencing
three of the rioters for terms varying from
nearly five months up to nearly three
years. In this action there is fair degree
Of fulfillment of the often repeated decla-
ration of the Chilean administration that
the guilty parties would be punished
OF course, this punishment does not
cover the case of a large share of the
rioters; but it is worth while to remember
that it goes further in the direction of
punishment than the United States has
ever been able to do. Owing to the divis
ion of jurisdiction in our system the United
States Government has never been able to
punish single rioter for infractions of in
ternational rights, while the Chilean SEN
fences are imposed within four months of
the offense. 1t is also clear that there is
far more protection in the example afforded
by Chile than in the kind of reparation
made by the United States in such cases.
For a government to hand over some
thousands of dollars indemnity has not the
slightest deterring influence on the next
mob. For it to send murderous rioter to
prison for three years may check the mob
spirit omewhat-although in hoth coun-
tries it is likely that severer measures will
be necessary before such outbreaks of
ignorance, brutality and prejudice are en-
tirely suppressed.
The President recognizes the deficiency
of our system in his recommendation that
L ~
diction over offences committed against
treaty obligations. Such measure should
be adopted in order that the Government
may in future be able to assert that a reas-
enable measure of justice will be done in
case of such offences against the law of
nations.

THE TORIES, LAST DITCH

The speech of Lord Salisbury at Exeter
is principally significant as an indirect
recognition of the coming Liberal victory
and an outline of the course of the Tories
in that event, which is inspired more by
wrath than by discretion. The Prime
Minister affected to regard the result of
the bye-electiOns as unimportant, but the
tenor of his speech showed that he re-
garded the coming question to be what the
Tories would do if the Liberals gained
control in the House of Commons. In
that case, he said, the House of Lords
would not be swayed by Liberal threats in
consideration of Irish Home Rule. In
other words the gist of his declaration is
that the policy indorsed by the English
people would be defeated by that last
refuge of TOryism, the House of Lords.
Beyond the amazing indiscretion of in
timating on the eve of a general election
that the Tories will not submit to the ex-
pressed will OF the electors, but will set
up the House of Lords as an obstacle to
it, Lord Salsbury's outline of future Tory
policy at once challenges the inquiry what
a Liberal Ministry would do in response to
such a course. The expressions with re-
gard to the abolition of the House of

THE CITY ESTIMATES.

Discussion of the tax question By a cor
respondent in another column brings out a
point in regard to the comparison of Pitts
burg taxes with those of other cities which
the chiefs of departments might peril
nently have considered before presenting
their estimates for the current year. Tax
PAYERS in this city have been anything but
mean or parslmonious in their provisions
for an active and efficient city govern
ment They have stood, with little objec-
ton, steady progression of expenses be-
yond the increase of population. They
have made all reasonable allowance for
the increased cost which came necessarily
from the opening up of new sections of
the city for residence; for the supplying of
water, of fire and police protection, and
for the purchase and maintenance of park
property. In view of the almost unani-
nous expression so far against swelling
the appropriations for '92 by more than
half million of dollars above the appro-
priations for 81, the powers that be at
City Hall must see that there is place at
which it is opportune to stop the loading
process and take the bearings of the situa-
ton intelligently.
OF course the plea can be made that the
present kick comes almost wholly from
prOperty-owners, and that it is the judg-
ment of the voters who elect Councilmen
that must determine things, whether they
be pr perty-owners or not. But if a tax
rate be made which is oppressive to prop
erty-owners it will before the year is out
affect all classes. One of the incidental
results will be that extravaganza will be
superseded eventually by such drastic re-
trenchment as will not permit even of the
appropriations required for such govern
ment as the city ought to have. When the
pendulum swings it is always to the other
extreme
If the chiefs of the departments are
wise they will withdraw their estimates
and cut them down to last years limit,
which was in itself highly liberal
Whether they do or not the question is
now the only one before the voters at the
coming election; and unless the ground is
taken that the city's tax rate has no rela-
tion to its continued prosperity, there can
be but one decision upon it, and that fiat
against the proposals of the City Hall Of
cials.
Ii the estimates are not cut down as in
dicated, the chiefs of departments will
find their mistake when it is too late to re-
treat with grace from an untenable posi-

Enough to Satisfy Everybody:
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Ignorance is both dangerous and ex-
pens1ve. 1t is dangerous for what 1t does
when precipitated into a panic, as the long
line of historical excesses and frenzies at
tests. 1t is costly for the reason that it in
evitably invites some kind OF an assessor or
tax gatherer. to whom it pays tribute. Care
fuHy analyzed, it will be found that ne arly
all Ills are the offspring of ignorance and
her twin sister, credulity.
just now there are indications of another
end of the world scare, and to the Ignorant
1t is nothing that these crazes have hun
dreds OF times taken place and date back into
the centuries. "Oh, but this time," says Mr..
Credulity, there is high authority. Planets
will be in conjunction, and Professor Soand-
So has calculated that certain prophecies
are about fulfilled" But some Of the great
est ignoramuses under the sun are pro-
fessors. Some of the narrowest minds are
bookish. Some of the most robust cranks
that the sun shines on are pedagogues.

Does the multiplication table tell lies in
some kinds of weather?
One natural law is as good as another, has
the same potency, the same consistency
and how long is it since these relations OF
quantities to each other have been found
guilty of falsehood?
But what Lave the conjunctions Of the
planets to do with what takes place here on
the earth? Absolutely nothing. Not SO
much as cloud passing over the sky or the
fight of a butterfly or wasp in the blue en-
pyrean.
Why, these conjunctions, like the eclipses,
exist all the time, with reference to some
point in space. What, then, signifies it if,
once in great while, they line with US?
The line OF cranks and fools still seems to

Lords in England have been too frank of
late years not to bring up at once the sug-
gestion that this stand would precipitate
the issue. 1t would be hard to imagine
any circumstances more calculated to give
force to the movement for wiping out the
House of Lords than to have that body
set itself up as an obstacle to carrying out
the popular decision of an issue over which
England has been agitated for seven years.
The only question would be whether the
time was ripe for such radical change in
the English constitution; and the ripening
effect of such a stand would make it far
from singular result if the hereditary
branch of the British Legislature should
permanently disappear from its already
nominal position.
But even If the love which Gilbert has
chronicled for "Our House of Peers"
should make it appear that the time was
not ripe, the course which Lord Salisbury
hints at would prove no more than very
temporary obstacle to Home Rule. A
Liberal Ministry, if it found its bill mega
tlyed by the Lords, would have at its COM
mand resort older than the British Con-
stitution, and one which has been fire.
quently used to overcome the repugnance
of the hereditary legislators to reform.
That is simply to create enough Liberal
peerages to pass the measure. The Lords
might we'll hesitate before Offering such
choice to their opponents
When such futile threat is made by
the controlling mind in Tory politics, it is
a strong indication that the Tory cause is
hunting last ditch to die in.

A HUGE IRON SCHEME
New York and Pennsylvania Capitalists to

New York and Pennsylvania Capitalists to
Build Towns and Railroads.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.-The Manufacturers
Record of this week states that the broadest
plan of development in the South ever un-
dertaken, which will involve investments by
New York and Pennsylvania capitalists of
many millions of dollars, has been consum-
mated by Alexander A. Arthur, who
founded the English town OF Middle
town, Ky.
The operations of this company include
the purchase and development on very
large scale of extensive coal and Bessemer
iron ore properties in East Tennessee, the
purchase of furnaces, steel works and
coke ovens. the establishment of two
manufacturing towns and the construction
OF several important railroads in addition to
the extensive systems now in operation.
The entire capital will be furnished by
Americans, the list of those interested in
cluding many of the most widely known
and conservative iron and steel men and
fnanciers in the United States.
