IN ORDER OF NECESSITY.

The Philadelphia and New York news
papers are devoting considerable attention
to the proposition for a ship canal to con.
meet those two cities 1t is an example
of the influence of locality that the jour-
mails which at the most accord sighting
attention to the Ohio River and Lake
Erie project give enthusiastic support to a
similar canal which would be almost en-.
tirely of local character.
The New York and Philadelphia canal
scheme will be animportant link in the in
ternal sea coast route when the develop.
mentof internal waterways has gone so far
as to take up that project. But in pursuing
that policy attention must be paid to the
need for canals as well as to the magni.
tude of the traffic involved. Water trans
portation already exists between New
York and Philadelphia, and the main por.
ton of their shipments is directly to and
from foreign ports. The utmost value of
the proposed canal between those cities
will be to facilitate perhaps by day-and
perhaps not-the time of the proportion
OF. the traffic shipped from one city to the
other. .--t
On the other hand the Ohio River and
Lake Erie canal will serve an immense coal,
ere and iron tonnage, which is now restrict
tdby high railroad freights. twill give the
rivers to the lakes, and form the link in a
truly national system of inter hal water
ways. An error as unjust was done in

NO BUSINESS FOR A CITY.
Municipal Coal Yards Cannot Be Legally
Established In Boston.

Established In Boston.
BosroN May 9.-[Specidl 1.-The Legislature
now in session on Beacon Hill has been
swamped with petitions for legislation es-
tablishing municipal coal yards The con-
stitutionality of the proposed legislation
was questioned, and the Supreme Court was
asked for an opinion on that point. To-day
five justices reported that such act would
not be constitutional. Justices Holmes and
Barker dissented.
The Committee on Municipal Affairs had
made an adverse report in the House,
and Moriarity, Republican, had moved to
amend the report by the substitution of n
bill authorizing municipalities to become
coal dealers. This led to the query as to the
legality of the proposed legislation, and the
Supreme Court was asked for an opinion.
There were thousands of names on the pc
titions. The opinion concludes as follows:
"We are not aware of any necessity why
cities and towns should undertake this form
of business any more than many others
which have always been conducted by pr1-
vate enterprise, and we are not called upon
to consider what extraordinary power the
Commonwealth may exercise or may author
iZe cities and towns to exercise in extraor-
binary exigencies for the safety of the State
or the welfare of the Inhabitants. If there
be any advantage to the inhabitants in buy
ing and selling coal and wood for fuel at the
risk of the community, on a large scale and
on what has been called the cooperative
plan, we are of the opinion that the consti-.
tuition does not contemplate this as one OF
the ends for which the government was es-
tablished, or as n public service for which
cities and towns may be authorized to tax
their inhabitants. We therefore answer the
question in the negative"

FREE TRADE DISCOVERIES.

An example of the things that can be
discovered in Pittsburg by person who
studies the situation to order through free
trade green spectacles is given in special
dispatch to the New York Eoening Post
on the iron situation. 1t elucidates three
points. First, that the iron manufacturers
are "bearing" the price of iron as an
excuse for reducing wages; second, that
the Amalgamated Association annually
passes resolutions indorsing the tariff,
"because it is compelled to do so.'' The
third, as subsidiary point, is the quota
ton of an alleged remark by iron workers
that they would prefer steady employ
ment in other trades at half the money.
This is a very good illustration of the
things that can be set down in sober
earnest by person whose acquaintance
with the iron trade is limited The idea
that the manufacturers are throwing
away one or two dollars per ton which
they could obtain for the sake of the very
doubtful reduction of 25 or 80 cents per
ton on labor, is almost as unique to one
who knows anything of the Pittsburg iron
industry as the avowal that the Amalgam-
ated Association is so completely owned
by the manufacturers that it dare not
express its real opinion on the tariff In
view of past records the whole story is
more than usually silly.
But its most delicious assertion is that
the iron workers would be glad to get
steady employment at half the wages. No
persons are more able to secure that end
than the iron workers if they really desire
it, The iron workers organization has
full power to reduce wages to that extent,
and the manufacturers could safely guar
antee steady employment at one-half the
present scale. The fact is that at the
present liberal wages there are few inter-
ests in the country which have afforded
steadier employment to the men than the
iron mills of Pittsburg for the past seven
years.
If the esteemed Post would hire few
more Pittsburg correspondents the amount
of imagination that could be produced for
its columns concerning the iron industry
would be equal to first-class romance.

GOOD WORK OF CONGRESS.
Two Bills Passed That Mea q Great Deal
to American Interests.

80. to American Interests.
WASHINGTON. May 9-[Special. with the
races ended and the final passage of tho
river and harbor bill at hand, there was
large attendance of the House to-day, not
withstanding the interesting fact that cir
Gus was in town. 1t is esteemed a remark
able evidence of the desire of members to
devote themselves to serious affairs of state
when quorum could be mustered without
call of the House when circus, with all
its athletic and poetic attractions, held the
boards within a few squares of the Capitol.
The Senate, also. with no less profound ap-
probation of the importance of national
legislation than the House, refrained from
Indulgence in the visual pleasure OF short
skirted girls on barebacked horses.
Two great bills of the session. were passed,
one in the House and one in the Senate. The
river and harOor bill, with its almost unpar-
alleled APPROPRIATION of SCI 900 for this
year, and involving further expenditure OF
$26 OoO. 600 more, passed the House by two
thirds majority, Notwithstanding the per-
sistent contention of Mr.. Holman, the hoop
pole statesman from Indiana. While 1t is
measure involving immense expenditure, 1t
is In the main n good bill, and has less In 1t
of jobs for goose creeks and frog ponds than
many former bills.
Taking into consideration the log-rollfng
by which all such bills are constructed and
passed, this is really one of the most CON-
mendable In years. All of the items or
interest to Pittsburg passed in the form In
winch they have been previously reported.
Representatives Dalzell and Stone holding
the House to the committees report with
admirable watchfulness and ability. The
bhl will undoubtedly pass the Senate with
few changes except those involved in special
bills or suggested by action of the Commit
tee of Commerce at the instance of Senator
Quay, already fully commented upon.
The great bill of the day was that passed
by the Senate. which admits the City of
Paris and the City of New York, of the
1nman Line, two of the grandest ships on the
ocean, to American registry, and opens the
way for the institution of great steamship
line under the American flag vessels of not
less than 10000 tons being available for
American registry under the bill, though ut
this time the measure applies only to the
two vessels mentioned.
This bill was passed recently by the
House, and to-day by the Senate, after an
eloquent explanation of its benefits by Sem
ator Frye. 1t will be promptly signed by
the President, and then, for the first time in
long years, ships OF the first class, OF the
most modern construction and fastest
speed, "ocean greyhounds." as they are
termed, will cross the Atlantic under the
Stars and Stripes There is great rejoicing
on this account in a large circle of public
men here, who have for years advocated
the admission 10 American registry of ves-
sells which, though constructed abroad, are
built and owned by American capital and
Americans.

MAY FLY OUR FLAG.

DESPITE Congressional eloquence the num-
Der of lifeboats aboard transatlantic
liner is more important than the sort of flag
at her peak.-Chfcdgo Times.
ENGLAND roared, of course, as soon as she
appreciated the true inwardness of that
grant of American register to two crack
steamships of popular British line.-M T.
Journal.
The House Committee on Merchant Marine
and the Fisheries has favorably reported a
free ship bill. II this bill becomes a law it
will destroy the American industry of ship
buiding.-N Y. Sun.
THE provisions of the bill are intended, Of
course, to enable the Government of the
United States to take possession of these
speedy vessels in case of war and use them
as cruisers or nsports.-Brookiyu Times.
THE privileges granted to the Inman line
cannot logically be denied to other Ameri-
can owners of foreign-built steamers when
application is made The bill which passed
the House by unanimous vote punches a
hole in the navigation laws barrier.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
BoTH the vessels in question are owned by
a company 80 per cent OF whose stock is held
by American capitalists, and il they see ft
to put these two magnificent twin-screw
steamers under the American flag upon such
conditions, it is certainly wisdom for our
Government to make the requisite provision.
-Czcuelond Leader.
We have not been able to follow the
example of strong governments, such as
England, France and Germany, and ms re-
suit we have been wiped out rs ocean COM
petitors. Our tariff system has made ship
building too expensive here, and, foolishly,
we have heretofore refused American regis
ter to foreign-built ships. This measure is
something of q compromise.-M y. Adusr-
dser.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-05-10
TOO MUCH INDIFFERENCE.

Executive Commissioner Farquhar is to
be in the city to-day to try to stir up local
men OF affairs to proper sense of their
interests in the Worlds Fair. That the
Commissioner presence should be neces-
sary for such purpose is discreditable to
the intelligence of men who devote their
lives to the accumulation of riches.
Pittsburg's merchants and manufact-
urers must move energetically now to Sc
cure space for proper display at Chicago,
or they will realize too late that "the
road of by-and-by leads to the town of
never" 1t is astonishing that Pittsburg
should have progressed as it has when the
characteristic spirit of supine indifference
to outside extension of business is remem-
bered. But the growth of the city in the
future will far surpass its enlargement in
the past when proper attention is paid to
the matter of spreading the trade area.
