WHERE CHARITY STEPS IN.

The intimation that there is widespread
and imminent danger of suffering among
the unemployed people of Homestead is
one that cannot fail to evoke public SYM
pathy and stimulate generosity. If the
facts turn out upon investigation to'be as
alleged, that hundreds of families are
facing the approach of winter practically
destitute of the necessaries of life, an i'm
mediate tangible response may be expected
from the whole community The spirit of
our cOtemporary, the Press, in already
starting fund for the relief of the suffer-
ing is worthy of all cOmmen1ation.
Of course the raising of relief funds and
their application at Homestead will be
subjected to careful inquiry as to the ex-
tent and character of the needs. If the
destitution is not so great as reported, the
operation of the relief movement may be
happily shortened. But if the fact that
the population of that suburb has been
without wages for six months, and a large
share of it is still without employment,
has produced, as is natural, widespread
want of food and clothing, the action of
generous public must be prompt and full.
Humanity, charity, public spirit, and even
enlightened self-interest forbid that Pitts
burgers should allow any of the people in
its immediate vicinity to suffer from want
The rights or the wrongs of the recent in
dustrial struggle have no relation to the
duty of relieving the destitute. The con-
fl.cts of employers and employees must be
left in the background should the danger
of starvation of women and children press
itself on attention.
Let the extent of the destitution be
quickly determined by authoritative inves-
tigation. Ii it is as dire and general as
some reports indicate, the response of
Pittsburg's generosity will be universal
and immediate.

THE SHOWING CONCLUSIVE.

Interesting statistics on the cost and
value of road improvement are given to
the public by Mr.. S. R. Downing, of
Chester county, one of the earliest agi-
tators IN the cause of better highways
His figures are based on the experience of
the township of East Goshen, in that
county, in making loan of $4,000 for
the improvement of roads, and have there
fore the authority of practical expert
ment
Mr.. Downing shows that in that town.
ship it formerly cost about $4,000 to repair
the roads each year, while this year the
cost was only S100. Repairs, interest on
the loan and $1,000 set aside annually to
retire the loan, amount to S2,650, or very
slight increase on the annual cost of the
dirt roads. Mr.. Downing's personal figures
show that the improved roads cost him
S175, while of this SUN he earned nearly
S1OO in hauling stone, and extends the
demonstration to show that, while macad-
amized highways may represent gross
cost of 5000 per mile, they will not cost
the taxpayers over $1,000. Against this is
to be set the immensely decreased expense
for repairs which, as already shown, ex-
ceeds the interest on the cost of the i'm
proyement.
These very convincing figures are en-
tirely independent of the effect of the i'm
provement on rural property. 1t is a
moderate estimate that the building of a
first-class highway will have benefit on
property three-quarters of mile away on
either side. In other words, every mile cf
macadamized road enhances the value of
over a thousand acres of land. To esti-
mate the average increase at $40 per acre
errs on the side of moderation. The
farmer owning 100 acres who cannot save
more than $50 per annum by the saving Of
horse power and the ability to take his
product to market in all seasons would be
very Ineffective sort of man.
The showing therefore is indisputable.
Besides the fact that road improvement
nearly if not quite pays for itself in the
economy of repairs is the great fact that
it will yield over a hundred per cent profit
in the enhancement of rural property.
Such an exhibit ought to set all localities
vigorously at work mending their ways.

THE WAY TO CHECK 1T.

In discussing the immigration question
the New York Herald starts out with the
indisputable proposition that 'the best
way to check pauper immigration is to
check it," and from that position jumps to
the decided non-sequitur of levying tax
on every immigrant of one hundred dol
lars-which is practically the same propo-
sition as made in Secretary Fosters
report.
The capitation tax might undoubtedly
have deterrent effect upon many immi-
grants not of the pauper class; butts most
positive influence on pauper immigration
would be, that one who was rescued from
that class by the possession of hundred
dollars would as soon as the tax was col
lected be reduced to the pauper condition.
That immigration might be diminished as
whole by such tax is beyond dispute,
but the dimunition would not be particu-
larly among the pauper class. Did the
Herald never hear of paupers or criminals
to get rid of whom the foreign govern
ments would be willing to pay one hun
dred dollars per head, or perhaps the cost
of keeping them two-thirjs of year?
The way to check pauper immigration
is to check it at the point of departure by
examinations establishing the integrity
and industry of the immigrant; and that is
the only sensible way to check it.

PITTsBURG. SATURDAY. DEC. 10. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
PREvENTABLE NUISANCE.

Yesterday afternoon considerable por-
tons of the business section of the city
were darkened by smoke from chimneys
which seemed to be devoted especially to
blackening the immediate vicinity. The
day was bright and the skies were clear;
but the smoke nuisance interposed to pre-
vent the full enjoyment. of light and SUM-
shine. The injury wrought by the con-
tinuance of this evil is almost beyond
calculation. 1t would not be hard to ar
rive at an approximate estimate of the
deterioration of buildings, of the damage
to the goods of merchants, or the spelling
of clothing and works of art But when
we come to an estimate of the injury to
health and eyesight by the unnecessary
deprivation of pure air and sunlight the
factors 60 beyond the power of figures to
express.
This evil is made all the more inexcus-
able from the fact, already demonstrated,
that so far as the smoke in the business
section is concerned it is entirely prevent
able. Smoke preventing devices which
would practically abolish the smoke from
every one of the steam boiler plants
bIackening the downtown section yester-
day can be seen in actual use daily. 1t is
only unprogressiveness and lack of public
spirit on the part of certain owners which
permit the perpetuatlon of this nuisance.
These facts make it clearly the duty of
the city government to prohibit the ennis
sion of smoke within the business section.
The nuisance can be entirely abated if the
city authorities have the energy and the
public spirit to take hold of the work and
push it to a successful termination.

ONE PERSISTENT FICTION.

The idea that the Canadian railways are
not subject to the Interstate Commerce
law has persisted to the extent of affirma-
tion in the Presidents message and is sub
sequently re-echoed by large share of
the press throughout the country The
survival of this fiction and the persistence
with which the highest authorities accept
accuracy is remarkable. The fact is that
the first section of the law subjects the
Canadian railways to its provisions on all
traffic which they take from or bring to
the United States, and that extent of the
law has been declared by the Commission.
True, decision has been rendered in
the lower courts which somewhat en-
hances the difficulties of enforcing the act
against the Canadian railways. But this
does not any more exempt them from the
provisions of the act than the more recent
decisions, making it impossible to convict
the managers of United States railways,
do for our own corporations. Both
Canadian and United States railways are
technically subject to the act, and both,
by the grace of courts and politicians, have
been able to reduce it to nullity. The
finishing blow was administered by the
most recent decision, which makes it
additionally erroneous to attribute an ad-
vantage to the Canadian railway by an
imaginary exemption from an act which
no corporation obeys and which is nowhere
enforced,

SMALL MINES PLAYING OUT
Cause Quite Panicky Condition of Affairs
in Denver.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Treasury officials at
tach no special significance to to-day's dis
patches from Denver, in regard to the pam
icky condition of the silver mining interests
in Colorado. The fact that many of the
small mines are being abandoned is taken to
indicate simply that they are played out and
can no longer De worked at u profit TIE
natural result OF such q condition is depart
ure or the miners for other fields of labor.
1t is held that the recent depreciation of
silver in the London market, and the pre-
dicted failure OF the International Confer
ence to advocate more liberal use Of silver
as money can have no direct bearing on the
present situation in Colorado, for the reason
that silver has risen in value during the past
few days. the Treasury Department. paying
to-day half u cent more an ounce than was
paid on Wednesday last
One of the officials said to-day in speaking
of the subject: 1.-THE production or silver
does not appear to be falling of at all in
consequence of the shutting down of the
small mines in Colorado, and so far we have
experienced no difficulty whatever in secur-
ing our 81, 500, 0C0 o. that metal every month.
or course the mines that don't pay are con-
stantly closing down, bat it is hardly due to
a depreciation of silver. TIE production of
silver always falls off in the winter months,
but the smelters generally have enough of
the ore on hand to keep them busy. One
reason why am sure there is no indication
of a decrease IN the production OF silver, lies
i'll the fact that several of the largest smelt-
ing and refining companies in Omaha, Den
yer and Kansas are enlarging their plants"

THERE is a tendency altogether too gen.
eral to regard Indians as at the best only fit
objects for charity. No righteous treatment
of the aborigines can be secured until their
inalienable rights are recognized. When
the red man is treated with Justice there
will be no talk of generosity" in providing
for his wants. But as thingsare going now
it looks as though the American Indian will
have vanished from the face of the earth
before public opinion is sufficiently edu-
Gated to regard him as anything more than
q nuisance. Cajoled and coerced lest his
dissatisfaction with civilization and rob-
berry prove inconvenient to the superior
and "cultured" white man. there is no won
der that the "good" Indians are those only
who have gone to the happy uniting
grounds that are beyond the reach OF mod
ern progress, greedy prospectors and un-
scrupulous agents.

A NEW RATIO,

The action of the English agricultural
conference in favoring the international
adoption of bi-metallism ought to clear
the way for the adoption by the Brussels
congress of plan for that purpose With
a respectable and influential element in
England calling for that measure, the En-
glish representatives can have little ex-
cuse for standing in the road of submitting
proposals for the reinstatement of silver
to the governments of the world This is
especially the duty forced upon the con-
ference since the withdrawal of the
Rothschild scheme of merely salving
over the difficulty by a slight increase of
governmental purchases leaves the Brus-
sels body with nothing to do unless it
marks out something definite for the adop-
ton of bi-nletallism.
Two propositions have so far been added
to that of Soetbeer, published before the
conference met. One is the general prop
osition of the American delegates for the
resumption of coinage at. the old ratio
The other is that of Tietgen, the Danish
delegate, for establishing a new and
adjustable ratio, simply making the ratio
lOI CdCu g6dl tlldJ VI Tie average maTk6b
value of the metals for the year previous.
This is expected to furnish the starting
point, with an international commission
provided to readjust the ratio in accord
ance with future changes in the market
prices of the metals.
Of the various propositions that have
been made this is much the best 1t would
restore silver to monetary use, and would
base the value of the coinage on the actual
value of the metal contained in it. The
trouble which has often arisen when, by
the decline of one metal or the advance of
the other, the first becomes the cheaper
coinage is provided for in the action of
the commission to readiust the ratio
when the trouble makes itself manifest.
This is practically the solution of the
question which THE DISPATCH has always
advocated. 1t is not certain that such a
plan can be successfully urged upon the
