MORE POWER TO HIS cLFACTORIEs.

The remarks of the Mayor 10 the Health
Officer yesterday on the inability of the
latter to detect certain smells in certain
localities were persona! hut pertinent.
The failure of that Of1ic a!'s olfactory

some smells has become chronic, and if
not cured by heroic me tSurAs may be at

smell was the most impressive object to be
encountered for some squares. 1t de-

The proposition to build branch of the
High School on the old Fifth Avenue Mar
ket House property is one that the public
will indorse and which should be promptly
carried out. The old building has been an
eyesore and drawback to an important and
growing section of the city. 1t has never
been of any practical utility for its original
purpose, and plans to devote it to other
uses of more or less public character have
proved futile. The need for additional
High School facilities is urgent; the use of
it for that purpose is of the most undoubt-
ed public character; and the substitution
of creditable buildings for the present dis
figurement will adorn instead of disfgure
the two leading thoroughfareS of local
traffic.
We hope that prompt measures will be
taken to place this property at the dispO-
sition of the Board of Education for the
erection of creditable and ornamental
buildings, which will at once be an i'm
provement to that locality and of use to
the city at large

UNEXPECTED GOOD SENSE,

There is marked and unexpected con-
trast In the fact that President Living
stone, of the Farmers Alliance, in a
circular letter to the workingmen of the
country makes strong argument against
the Democratic idea of returning to the
old State banknote circulation. He re-
lates some of his own experiences as a
loser by the State bank currency system
in the '4O's and SOS, and closes the subject
by the following sound sense:
The farmers and planters products good
as gold, should at all times be paid for with
an honest dollar worth a hundred cents
No moro direful calamity could Defall them
than a return to State bank issues-a retro
grade movement or dangerous character
Such a currency, good one day and good for
nothing the next, is not wanted by the
farmer. whose wheat and corn and cotton
are always worth gold or its equivalent at
the hundred cents But, to carry
out the eighth plank of the Democratic plat
form would be q vicious and destructive
act, involving the country in confusion and
discredit-would tend to disestablish the
best system the country ever had and re-
turn to the financial distractions OF 35 years
ago-a long step backward, resulting disas-
trously to capital and labor.
The Farmers Alliance and Peoples
party have been much criticised, and not
without justification, for their wild prop
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-09-15

oSitions on economic matters. 1t Is all
the more severe comment on the
viciousness of the Democratic wildcat
currency proposition when the head Oh the
Alliance justly and cogently opposes the
scheme The Democratic proposition Is
the most vicious that has been brought
forward for generation. After 30 years
experience of the best bank currency IN
history it deliberately commits lsselt TO
one of the worst ever known. President
Livingstone is right in declaring that such
a change would be an imposition and
burden upon the great mass of the work
ing population. 1t would njure every
one and benefit no one except the sharks
who would start banks for the purpose OF
floating the worthless notes that could be
put in circulation before the smash came.
1t is novel but cheering sight to see
the President of the Farmers Alliance
rising to protest against the debasement
and bedeviIment of the currency as
urged in the Democratic platform.

SOUS" Harry is dead at old Mystic, hamlet
on the Sound, east of this place, and was
buried yesterday in the Narragansett In

the village. He was a rugged, sturdy red
man, who hunted and fished and plated fine
baskets for a vocation. Everybody knew

Captain John Mason, with band of Puritan

century, captured from the powerful Mar

1t was the most important stronghold of
the tribe, and Captain Jack massa cred most
of its brave defenders and set fire to their
wigwams. In this way the squaws and pap
pooses perished. Gus Harry is sal to have
been the last survivor of the Narraaansett
tribe. He was 81 years old, tall, thin,
straight and wiry. American fire water,
aided by rheumatism, fastened his end.
There is large reservation OF Pequot Iu-
dians in the lonely woods about Lantern
Hill north of this borough, who live in
houses. till small rocky farms in scanty
clealings make baskets, and hunt and fish.
Gus Harry, however, had no dealings with
these red people, because they were the old
enemies of his tribe.

Colonel McClure's Book on lincoln

Readers af THE DISPATCH will remember
the very interesting series of letters upon
Lincoln, his times, and his contemporaries.
by Colonel A. K. Mcclure, of Philadelphia,
which appeared in our columns last wear.
These represented some part of the material
which Colonel Mcclure had prepared for his
book upon Lincoln and the war period, now
issued complete from the press and being
canvassed for hereabouts. No letters Tor q
long while attracted so much interest as
those of Colonel Mcclure; and the full
volume, OF which the newspaper letters were
practically but advance sheets, is meeting
with great popular demand. 1t is not only
the charm of the writer's style, but the fact
that he knew intimately the people of whom
he writes, the material thus coming at first
that most interesting period of American
history OF especial value and interest. The
book is one tnat should find place in the
library OF every Pennsylvanian.

TWELVE PAGES
THE CHOLERA IN NEW YORK.

The fact that five deaths from Asiatic
cholera have occurred in New York from
September 6 to September 13 shows that
the quarantine measures urged by The
DISPATCH should have been taken earlier
and with greater strictness. 1t will also
tend to shake the public faith in those
bulletins from the New York Board of
Health sent out for the past week that
there were ''no cases of Asiatic cholera in
the city, The fact that the Board of
Health has now made iull statement Of
the facts permits the hone that for the
future there will be no attempt to miSlead
the public.
The situation enforces the need of full
preparation for complete sanitation and
prompt isolation of the disease 1t makes
these preparations the first duty of every
person everywhere. How much value
there is in such wnrk may be seen in the
fact that England, within days journey
from Hamburg, relies almost en-
tirely on them, and has so
far limited the disease to those
who came into the country bringing the
germs with them. The precautionary
measures which each State and city can
adopt will if thoroughly carried out. pre-
vent the spread of the disease. II aGdi-
ton to that we are pest the heated season
when it spreads most rapidly and close
TO the season of frosts when its spread is
checked If not entirely stopped.
But the work should not BE- neglected or
stinted. The Governor should stretch his
power to the utmost to furnish the State
Board of II eaIth with all the funds needed
for vigorous campaign; and local health
officers with chrOaic inability to detect
bad smells should be supplanted by
officials with vigorous sense Of smell and
powers of action.

The esteemed PITTsBURG DISPATCH, which
calls upon the Governor to take action
"without another hours delay" TO put the
State Sanitary Board in shape to meet the
cholera, is advised that that official has just
gone to Saranac lake with some agreeable
, companions to fish and gun for ten days.
The cholera may appear at any moment as
out cotemporary says, and the State Board
of Health is wholly unprepared for any such
emergency. But We shall encourage the
hope that the Governors presence will not
be absolutely needed until he has had suf-
labors,
