L0UGHRAN THE VICTOR.
The Baker Ballot Law Tested In the Thirty.
Third Ward With Success.

The Baker Ballot Law Tested In the Thirty.
Third Ward With Success.
The first test of the Baker ballot law in
this city was conducted in the Thirty-third
ward yesterday. The election was the re-
suit of tie between Thomas Perry and
John Loughran at the February election
for Select Council. The case was first taken
into court and it was then decided to hold
another election, which took place yester-
day in which Loughran came off the victor
by vote of 109 to 9l The fight has
been a very bitter one, the ques-
ton of religion having taken
considerable prominence and it was feared
that serious trouble would occur. In order
to cope with the supposed beiligerents a
half dozen special officers were stationed in
the ward, but no serious trouble occurred.
One fight was reported, but it did not
amount to much. The participants were ar
rested and afterward released on bail.
One serious charge was made by Mr.:
Loughran. About o'clock he appeared
before Alderman King and made an infor-
nation against Frank Carroll, charging
him with perjury. He bases his charge on
the fact that Carroll had induced resident
of CHARTERS township to vote, II nd had made
an affidavit to the effect that lie was a resi-.
dent of the ward. Carroll was arrested and
was held in the Alderman's office until bail
was furnished.

UNNECESSARY PROOF,

The Democratic House Of Representa-
tives took occasion this week to pass
under suspension of the rules bills to ad-
nit Arizona and New Mexico as States of
the Union. One of these States-expectant
has a population of about 50, coo; the other
of about 100000 Both are of the char
acter in which any increase of population
may he offset by decrease such as has
reduced Nevada to the level of rotten
borough.
The admission of territories under con-
ditions which afford no guarantee of
growth to respectable statehood has
already been demonstrated to be politi-
cal vice. If carried, it will give vote in
these territories nearly eight times as
much political effect as in the real States;
and for the doubtful party gain of few
votes in Congress or the electoral college
assign several times as much political
power to the advocates of free silver or
similar issues, as the section is entitled to.
The admission of States on this plan has
been an especial vice of Republican legis-
Iation. With that fact before it, the
action of the House is evidently inspired
by determination to show that it can be
just as bad as its predecessor.
But that was unnecessary. The Demo-
cratic House has already convincingly
proved that it is swayed by exactly the
same low political motives in this respect
as the Republican House which preceded
it. This additional demonstration was a
work of supererogation.

In this table some interesting and i'm
portant deductions are afforded. The
high death rate of Charleston and New
Orleans is known to be due to bad climate
and worse sanitary arrangements. The
claim of Denver to be a health resort
seems to be badly shattered by its third
place in the list; but portion of its high
death rate may be due to the presence of
invalids who have gone there seeking
health. 1t is singular fact that the At
lantic cities, with two exceptions, are
in the half of the list with the higher
mortality, while the river climate does not
appear to be exceptionally unhealthful.
Even ST. Louis, which has not had rep
utation for health, is below the average.
Another important deduction is that the
cities with the lowest death rates are those
which have lately attained municipal
prominence, and their health is fairly at
tributable to having avalled themselves of
the most modern sanitary science.
1t is noticeable that Pittsburg occupies
middle position in the list Twelve
cities have higher death rate, and eleven
lower. Our rate is, however, slightly
above the average of all the cities, which
is 2o.9. While it is satisfactory to be so
near the average, it must be recognized
that our position is not as good as it should
be. With its excellent opportunities for
drainage and its elevated suburbs Pitts
burg should be one of the healthiest cities

EDITORIAL VIEWS OF 1T.
Made the Most of His Opportunities.


The New York Sun (Dem.) will say
tomorrow: President Harrison is
nominated for a second term,. rs the
result of his own persistent seeking
and by means of the free use of the
opportunities of the office lie holds. His
campaign was ably planned, splendidly
managed and firmly and courag eously con-
Quoted to the end at Minneapolis. The old
guard of his army in the convention was n
horde of Federal offlceholders, led by Fed
eral off1ceholdefs, and inspired with the
zeal born of benefits received and fostered
by the hope of favors yet to come. But for
the officeholding delegates and the delegates
secured by the use of Federak patronage at
the South, the Hon. Benjamin Harrison
would not be the candidate of his party.
TIE success OF General Harrison's campaign,
directed from the White House in his own
interest, is public misfortune. 1t will
impel and encourage every President of the
second, or third, or fourth rate of ability to
make desperate struggle to retain tine
power which he has once gained by political
accident. 1t illustrates with uncommon
force the dangers pointed out by William
Henry Harrison in his inaugural address.

like the love of gold it becomes
Unsuitable. 1t is the neyer-dying worm in

victim The worm took possession of the
breast of William Henry Harrison s grandson

1t would be folly for Democrats to under
estimate an antagonist who has manifested
such consummate political ability and
steadfastness in the campaign just. ended,
and who can and will promote his reelection

have been employed in the preliminary con-

AT ST. ANTHONY's SHRINE
Beginning Of the Annual Pilgrimage Of

Beginning Of the Annual Pilgrimage Of
afflicted Ones to Troy Hill.
The annual pilgrimage from all parts of
the Union are now vending their way to
Father Mollinger's Mecca, on Mt. Troy.
lnvalfds and cripples of all ages are aim
lessly wandering about the streets and
chapel grounds waiting an opportunity to
interview the famous physician. The board
ing houses on the Mount are already we'll
filled, and it is now being discussed among
the proprietors where sufficient accommoda-
tion will be found for the throng of sufferers
that are expected on Monday next.
O'Netll, resident of Lexington, KY, who
came to Pittsburg about q week ago, suffer-
ing from severe case of white swelling in
her lower limbs, and for several years has
not been able to walk without the of
crutches. She visited Father Mollinger this
morning at his office, as she thought, n Grip
pie for life, but after seeing him she was
able to walk without the aid of her crutches.
Another case is that of Michael o. Brien,
of NeoSho, Wis, who for the past two years
has had the rheuma tism and has not been
able to move about without the use OF
crutches. He says he has been to see Father
Mollinger three times and is now entirely
cured.
Mrs. Shea, of Apple River, ILL.,, stated that
she had been blind for five years, and hear
ing of Father Mollinger'S miraculous cures
came to Pittsburg to consult him, and has
since recovered her sight.

WHERE PITTsBURG Is NOT SLOW.

In less than five days from the receipt
of the news of the Oil Creek disaster
Pittsburg and Allegheny City had con-
tributed $4,000 for the relief of the suf-
ferers. The good work is still going on,
and our community will maintain Its
leadership in that matter. There is still
large amount of money needed to succor
the destitute, and give those whose all has
been swept away a chance TO start life
again. The generosity of the country has
a safe field here in which to exercise
liberality with the sure knowledge that it
will all be applied to the amelioration of
human suffering.
1t is gratifying reflection that, while it
may be a Pittsburg characteristic to be
slow in adopting new commercial or social
ideas, our community is always quick
to respond when a crushing disaster
calls for the aid of generosity.
Pittsburg made reputation for
that quality generation ago, during
the war Johnstown and the Oil Region
disaster bear witness that with all the
changes that have taken place that quality
of promptnesS and energy where human
suffering calls for relief is unchanged.
The growth in wealth and population has
not dwarfed the warmth of sympathy and
the readiness of generosity whenever
there is need for these qualities.
This is likely to remain a prominent
trait of our community. 1t has become
one of the traditions that wherever there
is destitution and suffering Pittsburg must
he in the first rank of relief. That is a
quality whit~, all true Pittsburgers unite
and hoping and believing, will never grow
less

Making Important Ch ,nges in the Exami-

The Committee On Examinations of the
Central Board of Education met yesterday
afternoon. With reference to the promo
tion of pupils from grade to grade in the
academical departments, Prof. Woods Of
fered plan that suggested: Gall pupils who
make a yearly recitation average of 80 per
cent or over in any study may be excused
from examination in that branch, and the
recitation branch shall be taken as the ex.
animation average" Miss Ralston offered
an amendment that includes the Normal de-
partment. 1t reads: 1.-THE pupils shall be
graduated from the Normal department on
the combinations of recitation averages in
the IN" year and result of final examina-
tion-the minimum in any branch to be IS
per cent. A percentage OF S5 to be required
on work of pu pills in the Training School,"
The plan was recommended. Superintend-
ent Luckey voted against it on the ground
that he did not believe marks should be
given in oral recitations by which an aver
aye would be secured.

vided for the establishment of Sloyd
School in the Washington district They
recommended the reelection of the old
teachers of the industrial department..

THE MINNEAPOLIS TICKET,

The struggle at Minneapolis is over
President Harrison is nominated by the
Republicans for a second term, with
Whitelaw Reid unanimous choice for Vice
President
That so bitter a struggle as this just
ended should cause criticisms and regrets
to mingle with the exultations of the vic
tors is inevitable. But with the great ma
iority of the party any disappointment
will quickly give way to the reflection
that it is the Republican policy which
is at stake; and they will rally to the sup
port of that policy as earnestly as if there
mad been no fight over the candidates.
Such is the practical way of the people
1t is well it should be So So long as the
business interests of every shade are
threatened by the persistent folly of the
Democratic leaders in ia king up with free
trade doctrines, free silver folly and like
cheap nostrums to catch votes, the SUBJ
stantial interests of the country REQUIRE
unfinchiDg support of Republican prin-
cipes and Republican candidates in ma
tional contests
The ticket. Harrison and Reid, will there
fore be vigorously and earnestly supported
hS the party and by all who believe that
party's policy the best for the country.
The hest evidence of this governing prin-
ciple in intelligent politics will probably
be afforded by Pennsylvania and Ohio
whose votes were yesterday cast for
other candidates, but whose interests are
directly and vitally coupled with the Sue
cess of the Republican business policy
now involv ed in the election of Harrison
ard Reid
From the personal antagonisms engen-
dered among such leaders as Plat, Clark
son and Quay, and from the threatened
detection of the free-siverites of the
West, the Democratic managers may draw
temporary but delusive hope. The cam
paign will doubtless be one of great
warmth and unprecedented activity. But
the very fact that the Republicans know
all this beforehand can only inspire them
to greater effort than ever, and the wounds
of sentiment, painful though they may be,
will heal long before November.
1t is now a campaign for the sound,
sensible and intelligent business policy of
the Republicans as against the wildcat
ting vagaries of the Democratic leaders.
In this battle the RapuhIicans should win
as they did in 1SSS-and as they deserve to

THE puTY OF PENNSYLVANIA.

The formal expression Of the Republi-
can Convention practically eliminates in
Pennsylvania personal preferences and
individual judgments as to Presidential
candidate.
Benjamin Harrison for the second time
however criticised in other respects-has
become champion of those great eco
nomic principles concerning tariff,
reciprocity and financial legislation,
which are at once the foundation
and the glory of the Republican party.
He was not by any means Pennsylvania
choice for the Presidency yesterday, but
he is the representative of its interests to-
day by reason of the platform of his
party.
Pennsylvania, it is needless to say, is
absolutely safe for candidate on such a
platform and needs no second thought 1t
is her duty, therefore, to aid to the utter
most in those States which are uncertain
quantities, but where the tariff is grow
ing issue and more positive factor in the
public veal as industries spring up and
grow.

cert OF the Great Military Band, under Prof.
B. Weis, made a great hit. the rendition of
the descriptive piece, "Shepherd of the

in for great praise. The affair was so success
full In every way that there is no doubt of
its repetition every Monday and Friday
evening during the season.
