eral good time that ever took place
here.

preparations for the event aud were
rewarded Ivy the compliments Of jall
present on their superior management
Of the affair. They all looked
pretty in their elegant toilets aud de-
voted themselves wholly to the COM
tort and pleasure Of their guests.
As this scribe knows nothing about
ladies' Toilets and the little, "fixibs''
they make uRe of to set of their many
charms, he will make no attempt to
describe any OF them further than 70
cay that all were elegant.

GENERAL sNowDEN's CAvEAr.

Criticism is visited upon General Snow
den for his claim of original authorship of
the suggestion for prosecutions for treason
against the Homestead men. The point
that the General is hasty and perhaps in
discreetly demOnstrative, too, in posing IS
the first discoverer is not unlimited
General SnOwden may have been the first
to conceive the idea, but it does not add
any to the public estimation of the
necessity for the charges of treason when
he says that even the Carnegie Company's
attorneys at first pooh-poo he'd it, and that
the idea lay fallow for several weeks be-
fore it was esteemed worthy of being made
the basis of proceedings.
If General Snowden is rightly reported
in his claims, and in his history of the
termination of the treason prosecutions,
it is not surprising that the unlearned
public are still somewhat slow to grasp the
treason charges. At any rate once the
matter got into the hands and jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court it would be more
seemly for the commanding officer OF the
military branch of the Government to
await the proceedings in Court before
filing sort of cd0eat to cover the as yet
questionable distinction of authorship.
Whatever the opinions or knowledge of
General Snowden as to the legal status of
the various offenses at Homestead, there
is neither dignity nor propriety in obtrud-
ing housekeeping from the Witness
box-at a time when the subject-matter is
actually before the highest court of the
State

AMERICAN WAGES AND TARIFF.

'sIt is also true that while our working

beauty and melody, ana his scholarship was
exact and compreh ehensive.-Syrdcuse HeTdf6
THERE was no personal elementin Remains

CHARLES ARBUTHNOT.

In the death of Charles Arbuthnot, YES
terday, Pittsburg loses one of its worthiest
citizens. Mr.. Arbuthnot was long con-
spicuous in the senior and foremost rank
of successful merchants of the city; but
that was merely one incident and result of
a forceful and interesting personality,
whose influence was notably good and
useful in every association of life Mr.
Arbuthnot's business career illustrated
finely the value of energy, perseverance
and integrity. These and the other sturdy
virtues which distinguished the man were
not confined to the management of his
business. but found effective expression in
innumerable good works privately and un-
ostentatiously done. He gave of his time,
money and effort unsparingly to further
ing every good cause which commended
itself to his ripe intelligence and generous
heart. While one of the most active
workers in the religious denomination to
which he belonged, his benevoence did
not stop at the church door, nor was it
limited to denominationaI bounds. He
was man in whom deep and tender feel
ing was united with and directed by high
purpose, illustrating in that regard most
strikingly the best traits of the Scotch
Irish race, to whose sturdy qualities this
country and particularly Western Penn
sylvania is indebted for so much that is
admirable in its citizenship.
When man of this type passes away,
honored In years, and in labors rewarded,
the sense of loss is not confined to his
family and immediate friends. but is felt
by the whole community.
The life of Charles Arbuthnot was
notable display of those superior qualities
of judgment, industry and integrity which
are the factors of success in the business
world; but, better than that, it was daily
benefaction to Others. Next to the per-
sonal presence of such men, their example
is the most precious possession any COM
munity can have, and it is for that reason
The DISPATCH pays its tribute to the
memory of this worthy citizen who is de-
Darted,

BOOM PITTSBURG.

The movement On foot for the formation
of Trade League of Pittsburg, as de-
scribed in THE DISPATCH last month, is
indicative of the growth of healthy local
spirit, The opinions expressed by men of
affairs elsewhere in this issue show that
the activity in fostering the city's interests
is on the increase. There is no doubt
room for the display of far greater energy
than has hitherto emanated from the
Chamber of Commerce. The reasons for
the comparative failure to make the most
of Pittsburg's position in the world are
found partly in the Chamber itself, and
partly in the apathy of business men in
supporting it Something should be done
to bring this city into more prominent
notice, and the best thing would be the
enlargement of the membership and scope
of the Chamber of Commerce, and an in
crease in the frequency of its meetings
and pub lications.
Every business man ought to realize that
the clty's interests are identical with his
own, and the younger men especially
should join in the work of promoting the
prosperity of Pittsburg and setting its ad-
vantages before the world As W. s.
Gilbert says:
"In the world if you wish to advance,
Your credit you all must enhance.
You must hustle and stump it,
And blow your own trumpet,
Or trust me you. won't have a chance"
Exploit this city as it deserves, pro-
claims its attractions in due order, and its
increase Of prosperity in the future will
rapidly cast into the shade its achieve
ments in the past
