THE PITTSBURG PLAN.

OTHER cities will watch tile Pittsburg ex-
pertinent with interest, and will, It is to be
hoped, profit by its lesson in dealing with
their own haunts of vice.-NeU York Press
PUTTING aside the question whether men
or women can be made moral by policing
them, what justice or humanity is there in
making one sex alone suffer for the crime of
Philadelphia Record.
In the clearer light of another day there
is an evident lack OF good faith. and q mani
fest desire to wreak revenge, in the police
proceedings which are the sensation OF the
day in Pittsburg.- Wheeling hlteIligencer.
PITrsBURG is evidently getting dose Of
the medicine that certain sensational re-
formers wish to infiict on New York. But
New York is quite healthy, thank you. an d
does not propose to take any such nauseat-
ing messes.-Ne,o York World.
If society is determined to cure this terri
BILE disease, it must cease to discriminate
against men and women after its present
fashion. 1t must impose the same legal and
social penalties on both the SHINING man
and the SHINING woman.-NeO York Sun.
1T is easy to pass laws against crime and
vice. but If that were all that were needed
to eradicate them there would now be no
evil In the land. Meanwhile students Of
bur g move with the utmost interest,"
Wheeling Register.
IT need not be supposed by the most san
guine that Pittsburg will be transformed at
once into holy place because of the driv-
ing out of these women and the holding
them up to public shame and execration.
Reform can never be brought about by this
process.-Lndiandpoli Journal.
WHEN Pittsburg orders its public women
to leave the city, where does it expect them
to GO? And if 1t is wrong for them to live in
Pittsburg, how is it less wrong for them to
be banished to q residence in other cities?
Pittsburg morality is evidently securing the
outside OF the cup and platter.-S.. Louis
Republic.
The experimentation it is such-will be
watched with great deal of interest, but
not without fear that the law, unassisted by
the strongest kind of public sentiment

successfully with the evil. Much remains
to be done after the law has been enforced

SIGNIFICANT TO THIS COUNTRY.

The Rothschild proposition to make the
United States bear the heavy end of the
work of sustaining the market price of
silver without any remonetization has
been rejected with the roundabout mega
tive that is The rule of diplomatic proceed
ings. That was the only fate that it Ge-
served, since its purpose was not to in
crease the supply of money metals but to
artifcially raise the price of silver IS a
commodity. The public at large has no
interest in the latter object, however i'm
portant it may seem to silver kings or
English bankers.
Butwhile the Rothschild proposals were
wholly useless so far as the conference is
concerned, it possesses a decided signid-
canoe for the course of the United States
in case the English element should defeat
action BY the conference looking toward
actual results 1t betrays the fact that
the English monetary interests are de-
sirous of preventing any further depFecia-
tion of silver They kindly desire the
United States to do twice as much as the
rest of the world, in the work of artifcially
supporting the market; but they show
that their interests would be prejudiced
by further depreciation.
This shows that the United States has
the power to teach the English lesson
in case that Government should persist in
ignoring the interest of the rest of the
world in silver reconciliation. If Eng
land defeats the purpose of the conference
the United States should not only suspend
silver purchases, but put great share of
its immense stock of silver on the market.
To some people the sale of the stock of
silver at less than its presentrating on the
Treasury books would seem like loss.
But the fact is that the loss has already
been made, and the sale would be con-
verting an entirely dead asset into actual
resources Public interests in this coun-
try would not be prejadiced by putting the
Treasury silver on the market If the
English monetary interests were con-
fronted with some $500, ,OOO, 600 worth of
silver they might perceive the Importance
of Joining in reasonable measures TO use
silver as an addition to the money of the

A SUBJECT FOR sELF-assERT1oN

The recent announcement that some S.,
000, 600 would be spent by the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad in improvements along its
line, but that the betterments so long
needed in this city will be postponed to a
more convenient season, warrants some
plain speaking. The practice of putting
Plttsburg off and at the same time SUBJ
jecting her industry to serious discrimina-
tions has gone on so long that il seems
familiar; but even familiar abuses reach a
point eventually where those who are ag-
grieved by them find it necessary to take
measures for securing a remedy.
Ii is worth remembering that the Penn
sylvania Railroad has experienced no illib-
eral treatment from Pittsburg. Besides
securing from the industries of this city
the largest and most remunerative freight
traffic originated by any single city in the
country, the Pennsylvania Railroad has
been granted wide privileges for the ex-
press purpose Of enabling that corporation
10 furnish first-class facilities to the city.
When the city surrendered to the railroad
the whole of Grant street from Seventh
avenue to Liberty, the inducement for
that very Important gift was the expecta-
tion that it would produce material i'm
provements. There was a tacit if not
positive understanding that the old brick
shed which has done temporary duty as a
passenger station since 1878 was to be re-
placed by depot nearer Smithield street,
and of a character more commensurate to
the magnitude of the city and the business
it furnishes TO the railroad. The consider.
alton has never been rendered, and Pitts
burg's passenger business is still trans
acted in the dingy building which was in
adequate fifteen years ago, and is dOubly
inadequate now.
The neglect of Pittsburg displayed in
this and other important respects is only
practiced because it is conceived that it
can be done with impunity. 1t will soon
devolye on our community to show that

Who Hopes to Be Able to Telegraph to

MusKEeoN, MICH, Dec. T. - [Spectall -
George Francis Cobson, spirltualist of this
city, has perfected q scheme. he thinks, by
which he hopes at death to be able to prove
positively to those still in the material state
bis spirit exists. He went to Pittsburg a
short time ago and obtained large glass
cylinder so constructed that it can be sealed
air tight quickly. In this cylinder he has
suspended with fine copper wires two pieces
Of metal so light that they may be brought
in contact with each other by the slightest
motion or air within the cylinder. Wires
pass through the cylinder, one being con-
nected with battery and the other with
telegraphic Instrument.
He has made arrangements for HIS friends
just before the spirit leaves his body to seal
MIN in the cylinuer so that his spirit may be
kept from departing and at the same time Is
enabled by a series OF systematic disturb
ances of the air within the cylinder to COM

graphic instrument. He is dying with con-
sumption and the public probably will not
have long to wait Tor the test of his expert
ment. III it should prove successful his
friends are pledged after three days to-nn-
seal the cylinder and allow the spirit to de-
part and then seal up and bury the remains.

the impression is rroneoub. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that city of this wealth
and importance has mo power of asserting
itself even against great railroad cor
poration. Besides the ability to call in
competing influences the city has within
its power the revocation of valuable grants

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4-L5pecidII-Muc spec

the real causes of that condition. ls has
always been impossible to get any "ofnciap

to the discussion of his diseases in the pub

closed their mouths. ana young Jimmie"
has been posted at the door, instead OF the
servant, to answer all inquiries, except OF

closely associated with one of the consulting
physicians that Mr.. Blaine had really not
been in danger of a fatal result from his III
ness any time during this last attack, 0us
thai lie suffered simply a temporary agra
va tion OF tne disease which has caused alI0f
his recent illnesses-an affection or the KID.

to the public, such as chills, indigestion,
rheumatism, etc, were merely the usual ao-
compartments OF the disease, which, even IN
its latter stages, would permit its victim to
follow his accustomed habits Tor y period OF
months without serious protest.
Even under these frequently recurring at
tacks it is said by this expert that Mr..
Blaine may, with his great vitality, 20 Oh

good health, and tnaI while one so afflicted
may, by over-confidence or carelessDess, be

years the domestic and social life to which
he has retired himself.
