LABOR AND THE FAIR

New York Mechanics Demand the Appro-
priation and Ask for Sunday Opening.
NEW YORK, June 19.-At the meeting of the
Associated Trades of New York held last
evening the following resolutions were
adopted:
"WHEREAs. The Worlds Fair to be held at
Chicago in 1898 is and should be regarded as
a national affair of the widest significance,
and
"Whereas, This Fair will be primarily an
exhibition OF the skill and products of the
labor of the world, therefore be 1t
Resolved. That as workingmen of New
York We are interested in all that concerns
labor on its behalf. and demand that this
great enterprise shall be worthy of the work
ing people of the nation.
"Resolved, That we demand the Immediate
passage of the bill now before Congress, ap-
propriating IS 900 for this undertaking,
to the end that that enterprise shall be lifted
from the narrow confines that limit its i'm
portance to a single city, into the broad area
of national dimensions; and we further de-
mand it on the ground that the sum asked
from the National Treasury has been ex-
pended for labor already performed.
Resolved, That we are unalterably op-
posed to the proposed PROJECT looking to
the closing on Sundays of this great educa-
tor of the masses, industrial art and mechan-
ical science.
Resolved, That in the name of the toilers
Of the country,we protest against such a sac
rif1ce and denial of their right to examineand
study the work and skill OF their brother
toilers of the earth on the only day when
their time Is their own and their mind is in
its most receptive condition to perceive the
and necessities of the labor world ever
teach"

THE STAND FOR THE CANAL,

The comforting intelligence il given by
Congressman Stone, in an interview else
where, though the Ohio River and Lake
Erie canal project has just got tempor-
ary setback, the fight in its behalf has just
begun. The bill for the survey will be
sent to the committee where it properly
belongs, and the project will be vigorously
pushed.
This is necessarily the proper course for
the representatives of this section to take.
1t is satisfactory that they are outlining
it with energy, although it must also be
noted that the most sanguiDe view post
pones the project till next session. That
fact suggests that there is something
further for Western Pennsylvania repre-
sentatives to do. They should serve
notice by their action that, if a project of
sucn Importance is to be left out In the
cold, they will insist on the same treatment
for Others of less value but of greater
demands on the public treasury.
This attitude should be based on the
correct principle of supporting internal
waterways in the order of their necessity
and Importance. The DISPATCH has had
occasion heretofore to comment on the
marked difference in the consideration
given to the various projects. That super

The NATIONS SYMPATHY.

THERE can be none now, neither friend nor
opponent, who will hear the news of his be-
reavement without the tribute of pitying
sadness.-PhRadetphia Record.
In the sudden death of his son, Mr.. Emmons
Blaine, at Chicago, ex-Secretary Blaine has
met with a new affiiction, over which the
whole country will grieve with him.-Ne,o

The political arena fades from view; we
only remember that rather has bowed his
head before the storm, and offer the sympa-
thy which is due from one man to another

This has been O sad four years for James
G. Blaine, and in his last affiiction, the death
. OF Emmons Blaine, his most promising son,
he will have the sincere sympathy OF the
country.-Neso York World.
THE sympathy Of all his countrymen and
countrywomen will go out to the great ex-
Secretary OF State. James G.. Blaine, in the
terrible bereavement that has fallen on his
house.-Nes0 York Recorder.
HENsEFoRrH all political striving and am
bition will probably be repugnant, in q new
sense, to the bereaved statesman for whose
sake millions of Americans will feel the loss
of Emmons Blaine as q personal sorrow.-
Cleveland Leader.
Few public men have had deeper private
griefs than this great American, who is hon.
ored at home and abroad. Poor in feeling
must be the man whose heart will not be
touched by the new sorrow which has dark
ened Mr.. Blaine's home-Ne,o York Tribune
AFFLIcrIoNs have come upon Mr.. Blaine
with grievous frequency in recent years,
and now again the resentments of politics
and the differences born of public activities
will be laid aside while the sympathy of the
nation finds utterance and the whole people
mourns with him at the death of his son,
Emmons Blaine.-NeU York Times.

HOT WEATHER ADVICE.

At the inception of the heated term the
sprea d OF mformatio1as to the best pre-.
cautions against the diseases incident to
the season is a public service. This is
well performed by the State Board OF
Health in the issue of three pamphlets
giving general information on the subject
One deals with precautions against
cholera, cholera infantum, cholera morbus
and dysentery, another with precautions
against sunstroke, and its treatment, and
the third with the care of infants during
the hot weather. If these circulars were
generally studied and their recommenda-
tions carefully followed there would be a
large decrease in the mortality resulting
from the hot weather. The State Board is
discharging its duty commercially in pub
fishing these serviceable little leaflets of
information and providing for their circu-
lation to anyone who requests it on receipt
of a two-cent postage stamp.

AN INTERSTATE DECISION.
Railroads Cannot Discriminate Against
Towns They Cannot Reach.


WASHINGTON, June 19-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has decided the case
Of the Eau Claire Board of Trade against the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway
Company and others in favor of the COM
plainants. The points decided are, briefly.
as follows: Where all the distances brought
into comparison are considerable and the
differences between them relatively small,
there should be o substantial similarity in
the respective rates unless other modifying
circumstances justify disparity That rates
should be fixed in inverse proportion to the
natural advantages of competing towns with
the view OF eQualizing Commercial condf-
tions," as they are sometimes described. is a
proposition unsupported by law and quite at
variance with every consideration of JUS
tice. Each community is entitled to the
benefits arising from its location and nat
ural conditions, and the exactfon of charges
unreasonable in themself or relatively un-
Just, by which those benefits are neutraliZed
or impaired, contravenes alike the prOv1s-
ions and the policy of the statute.
Complainants held that an unreasonable
lumber rate Disseminated against Eau
Claire, and the Commission rules that a
railroad cannot be said to discriminate
against town which 1t does not reach and
in whose carrying trade it does not partici-
pate: therefore, no case is made out against
the. carriers which were made parties at the
request of the original defendant, because
none of them have lines extending to Eau
Claire.
The intervening defendant, the Omaha
road, though serving the complaining town,
the order directing the reduced rates, but
the case will be held open as against that
company for such direction as may here
after be reg uired.

ONTARI0's IRON ORE
American Capital to Develop a New Source
of Wealth to tho Province.

American Capital to Develop a New Source
Of Wealth to the Province.
TORONTO, June 19.-Capitalists have In
hand project for the erection of blast fur
naces near here for smelling Ontario ore,
and they are urging the Provincial Govern
ment to grant financial aid to carry out the
scheme without delay. 1t is proposed to
erect furnaces with O capacity of smelling
100 to $50 tons of pig iron daily. Capitalists
inform the Governments that experGs from
the United States who have examined the
Ontario iron ore say it is of very supe rior
quality, and point out the fact that it is re-
marka bly, low in its percentage of phosphor-
us, and will, therefore, yield high grades of
iron and steel. Regarding fuel, the project
ors of the scheme state that it can be laid
down here cheaper than in Chicago 1t is
proposed to use coke.
W. Hamilton Merritt, a Canadian mining
expert, states that the United States pro-
duces 40 times as much pig iron per capita
as Canada, and, as individual consumption
is about the same in both countries, the
showing is not very complimentary to the
Dominion. Americans. he said, are obliged
to import their best qualities from Spain
and Cuba, while in Ontario there are deposits
quite up to the standard OF either Spanish
or Cuban ore. The Governments is asked to
pay "a bonus of g per ton for all ore mined,
and it is thought that, as this will help de-
velop the iron mining industry of the coun-
try. the request will be granted, American
capitalists own some important iron ore dis
tricts in Ontario.

THE NEW GAS FIELD.

The news of the discovery of new and
apparently prolific gas territory in close
proximity to the city, published in yester-
days DISPATCH, is thoroughly confirmed
on further investigation. The wells that
have been developed show pressure up
to nine hundred pounds, while the full
force has not yet been measured. The
power of the wells has also prevented
drilling to the full depth of the sand, so
that exact estimates as to the volume OF
the gasbearing rock and the duration OF
the supply are not vet obtainable. But
the best indication of the importance OF
the strike is afforded by the fact that the
gas companies have been taking all the
territory they can buy or lease.
The significance of the new wells to
Pittsburg is easily understood. That it
means such supply of gas as will restore
it to industrial use and do away with
the smoke is not fully established
But it affords basis for that hope and
gives reasonable assurance of a constant
supply of gas for household use. 1t is to
be hoped further that it will insure the
sale of gas at prices within the reach of
the masses. After Pittsburg has felt the
discomfort of return to SCOT and smoke,
the prospect of restoration of an ample
gas supply is one to be hailed with
universal rejoicing.
These considerations will inspire gen.
eral hope that the Pinhook field will out
shine Murraysville and Grapeville in the
power and endurance of Its wells. Even
if this hope be only partly realized, the de-
velopment of the new field indicates that
gas production is paralleling the history of
oil production in the discovery of new
fields when old ones begin to fail.

DEMOCRATS NAY 60 HUNGRY.
Striking Walters in Chicago Serve Iheil

Striking Walters in Chicago Serve Their
Orders on the Delegations.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Four restaurants signed
the walters scale yesterday, but they were
small lunch houses. When the committee
called at Cores Hotel and the Great North
ern they met with ref usal on the part of
the proprietors to sign the scale. The whole
force of the Chicago Club walked out.
The Strike Committee, led by President
Pomeroy. visited the headquarters of the
the New York delegation, where Pomeroy
informed those present that he represented
1900 striking walters: that certain houses in
the city had been placed under the ban of
the union, and they hoped no loyal Demo-
crat would patronfze such houses. He then
asked il the New York delegates expected
to recognize the committee. General Daniel
f. Sickles, assured him the committee would
be well received, but that as there were but a
few OF the regular delegates present he sug-
gested that the strikers grievance be put in
the form of a written communication, ad-
dressed to the delegates through Chairman
Murphy, and that it be presented at
O'clock when the delegation would be pres
ent in force. The suggestion was carried out.
The assembled walters in the park
marched in double file to position directly
facing the delegation headquarters, when a
prolonged and hearty three cheers and a
tiger were delivered for the New York
Democracy. Filing then up to State street
and In front of Siegel, Cooper & Co.'S a stop
was made long enough to cheer tn emselves
and decide the walters employed there to
strike.

THE PROSPECT FOR CLEVELAND.

Senator Calvin S. Brice, after period
of earnest search for Germans chances,
regretfully gets down from the fence on
the Cleveland side and adds his voice to
the predictions of Cleveland's nomination
on the first ballot This looks very much
like the verifcation of THE DIsPATCH's
prediction that the campaign will be that
of 1888 tried over again. There is still the
better part of a week before the nomina-
ton; and a good deal sometimes happens
in that time. But with the strong start
for Cleveland which even his opponents
have to concede, the present situation
points to his nomination as certain within
all ordinary probabilities.
Since the Democrats are determined to
fight the campaign of 1888 once more, the
Republicans need have no objection to
accepting the challenge with confidence
in securing a repetition of the result

an expenditure estimated as high as fifty
millions, goes through without even pre-
Gminary survey. Philadelphia and New
York get survey for ship canal across
New Jersey which will be merely an ar
ticle of luxury, and make the appropria-
ten two and half times as great as that
asked for the canal which can be made to
carry the greatest tonnage of the world.
When the contrast is afforded of striking
out the modest request of the most impor-
tant project, it is time for the representa-
tives of the section Immediately interested
to make themselves felt
Western Pennsylvania should make it
clear that it is in favor of national sys-
TEN of internal waterways. But it must
also take the stand that the work must be
taken up in the order of merit and neces-
sity, and not apportioned on the principles
of the grab game.

THE PENDING WAGES QUESTION,

When a local contemporary says that
because The DISPATCH and Times called
1t to account for blaming the protection
policy with differences over the iron and
steel scales, therefore these journals favor
the manufacturers demand for reduc-
tion of wages, it says what is neither smart
nor true
The truth is the very opposite. THE
DISPATCH and the Times, and, we venture
to say, every other paper in the city, wish
for maintenance of the higher scales. If
wishing could do any good, they would
heartily wish for conditions to
permit of higher wages for all branches of
labor than any that have hitherto been
paid. They have sense enough. to know
that it is the wages of the workingman-
not the profits of the manufacturer
which go most quickly and freely into
general circulation, and which make the
life of business There is not merch ant
of any sort, or professional man, or news
paper with any pretense of ideas on the
subject at all, who does not favor the
highest wages for every industry that the
prevailing conditions of that industry will
of benefitS-dictates that
And it is because the whole commun-
ity has thus an interest in high wages
because every line of trade shares the
beneflt-that the business public so strong
ly support the protection policy, which by
establishing favorable conditions makes
high wages possible.
If, as charged this year-and as has not
infrequently occurred in the past-manu-
facturers hold back their best terms at the
start, or make extravagant demands, that
is not the fault of protection. 1t is the
fault of individuals, not of an economic
system. 1t is the human habit of bargain
ing-on occasions not in the least ad-
mirable; yet the common, if not pleasant,
way of business. Without impertinently
meddling in the minutia of industries
much better understood both by employed
and employers, The DISPATCH time and
again has urged upon the manufacturers
that the simple and candid plan of offer
ing the best terms possible at the start
would be greatly preferable to the hag-
Cling and to the painful tension over
threats of lockouts and strikes. 1t would
establish trust and confidence upon both
sides, and lead to speedy agreements.
But it looks as though the scales will be
fought over every year in the old way un-
til the millennium or Utopia arrives. After
all the debates and differences an ami
cable agreement will likely be reached, as
usually has been the case in the past We
trust it may be in favor of the highest pos
L. H., -
ness will permit; and that both sides will
meanwhile thoroughly discourage the at
temptS to make out of their temporary
differences political capital to be used
later on against the great economic sys-
ten of Protection, upon which their
mutual interests vitality depend.

QUESTIONS FOR THE CONVENTION.

The ante-election disputes of the Chica-
90 convention appear to our esteemed CO.
temporary, the New York Aduertiser, to
necessitate the settlement of three ques-
tions before proceeding to final action. 1t
states the conundrums:
Since this illumination has been thrown
upon the scene the convention will have
three interesting conundrums to PROFOUND
to ITSELF to wit:
'sCan Hill defeat Cleveland should Cleve-
land be nominated?
"Can Cleveland defeat Hill should Hill be
nominatedf
"Can the Democracy elect a candidate who
cannot carry New York;
Having settled these questions the situa-
tion will be much simplifed. But in the
settling of these questions we expect to see
the roof of the Chicago Wigwam again dis
turbed, this time by the warning elements
within instead of the tornado without.
If our esteemed cotemporary or the
Democratic Convention will accept eg
parte testimony it will have no difficulty
in getting an answer to these questions.
The Cleveland men will give overwheIm-
ing evidence that Hill cannot be elected;
and the Hill men will give expert testi-
mony that Cleveland will prove a dead
failure. The seeming incongruty Of
these assertions can be reconciled more
easily than the usual conflict of assertions
on the supposition that both sides are right
and that neither candidate can be elected
As this er parte evidence is all that the
convention will have before it, it will be
obliged to take it for what it is worth.
The only conclusive way of settling such
questions is to wait for the election to
decide them. But as that is attended by
manifest difficulties the convention will
have to improve on Wonter Van Twlller's
method and value the evidence by the
vocal abilities Of the shouters and the
number of the delegates.
