THE ULTIMATE CAUSE.

A valuable contribution toward the in
quiry now so assiduously being carried on
in all quarters as to the first cause of
troubles similar to that at Homestead, ap-
pears in this issue in an article by Mr..
Chace of the Bourne Mills, Fall River, on
proft-sharing. That writer, who advocates
this form of limited cooperation from his
own experience, bases his advocacy on the
policy of trusting labor to do good work
when it shares the prosperity resulting
from SUCH. He gives the most practical
argument in its favor by adducing the fact
that cotton mills which share their net
earnings with labor have by that incentive
to careful and intelligent work paid dIvi-
dends when other mills which refused to
tolerate the idea have paid no dividends at
all. Such results must enforce the pecuni-
ary value of the new system upon manu-
facturers.
But the great strength of profit-sharing
in a public point of view is the hope it
holds out of avoiding such conflicts as
those now going on in this neighborhood.
When the prosperity of an industry is OBJ
xiously shared between employers and en-
ployed, the causes of dispute many not be
entirely removed but they will be greatly
lessened 1t is certain that such changes
as will encourage workmen to become
their own employers on small scale give
prospect worth thinking about Of re-
moving many Of the causes Of labor dis
turbance.

up with the proposition to inaugurate the
century by the chef.deupre of all Exposi-
tions in 1900. But this put the German
back up. Why the German choler should
be reused by Q proposition to hold q
French exposition four years later is hard
to tell. If the French had meanly slipped
in an exposition in 1895, the year before
the Berlin show, there might be cause for
wrath in Berlin.
But while the cause is somewhat OBJ
scure, there is no doubt as to the fact
The German spirit was reused to retort,
which was considered crushing. A Ger
man paper asserted that the Berlin expo
sition of 1896 will show the world that the
nineteenth century is ''the German CEN
tury." This assertion, which calmly
wipes out the French achievements in the
exposition line, and hints indirectly at
German conquest, raises French wrath to
that point where, as Sergeant Maccombich
says of Fergus MacIvor, "blood generally
has to be let for these attacks" So, be-
tween German umbrage and French irrita-
ton, the question of exhibiting the tri-
umphs of peace, becomes about as strik-
ing spectacle of quarrel as the world
need wish for.
Let us sincerely hope that If France and
Germany must fight, they will find some
thing more reasonable to fight over than
industrial expositions.

BEARING THEIR BURDEN.

A very readable article by W. A. Crof.
fut elsewhere gives some interesting
views of noted mIllionaires on the misfort-
unes of the extremely wealthy. In the
thoughts urged there is a good deal of
sound sense and originality. Mr.. Depew
points cut that the man who has million
can get all the personal enjoyment out of
his fortune that one with hundred mill
ions can. The late Mr.. Cyrus W. Field
credits the desire to accumulate vast fort
unes beyond the limit where wealth
brings additional pleasures to the same
feelings as Grants pleasure in his vic
tories, that of pre-eminence. Russell Sage
disclaims pleasure in swelling his boards,
but he has to keep at it because that is his
trade. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson bewails
tie inability of great wealth to do good by
giving it to others; while capitalist dis
creetly suppressing his personality claims
that the greatest philanthropists are not
those who give money away but those who
put vast industries in operation and build
steamships and railroads.
Underlying all this is the sentiment that

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS PLIGHT.

The case of District Attorney Burleigh
in the matter of compensation for his
services, as disclosed to the Court yester
day, is one of undeserved hard lines. The
District Attorney was not among the
officers who reached out last fall for the
large salaries which they thought came to
them when the county exceeded 800, 900
population. The enactment they took to
favor them did not cover the District
Attorneys office. CoptroIler Grier made
a stout and successful resistance to the
effort of these county officials to
get the larger salaries; and the opinion
of the Supreme Court made their last
state worse than the first by holding that,
under the law, they were entitled to even
less than they had been getting. 1t so
happens that, while the District Attorney
would not have been benefited had they
won, he is most damaged by their failure,
being thrown back to compensation fixed
by the act of ~, which provides practi-
callv that in no case shall he have more
than $4,000 per annum, and that he get
nothing at all unless there is surplus
after the receipts of the Office have paid
all expenses of clerk hire and the salary
of the Assistant District Attorney and his
help.
Controller Grier is perfectly right in his
contention that the Controller can only
recognize the law as it may be construed
by the Court At the same time the fact
remains that if adequate compensation is,
not made for the District Attorney, that
oficial-and it may be said justly of Mr.
Burleigh that he is one of the ablest and
most successful Allegheny county has
ever had-must either relinquish the place
for more profitable private practice, or
else continue working brilliantly for the
public and board and clothe himself.
Mr.. Burleigh no doubts not insensible to
glory. But glory does not pass current for
beefsteak, nor should it be his sole COM
pensation. Whether the courts can find
a way out of the dilemma is not sosure 1t
is clear, however, that Mr.. Burleigh has
excellent grounds for asking an under
standing as TO the quSd pro quo which does
not seem to be forthcoming for services
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-07-17

the extremely rich are laboring under a
burden which makes them the objects of
special sympathy and federation. To this
there Is very evident answer. They can
very easily rid themselves of the woes of
wealth if they desire. Such an answer
does not of course apply to the complaint
of philanthropist like Mrs. Thompson
that her benefactions are apt to do harm
than good. But with regard to the Others,
who profess to regard wealth as burden
merely from a selfish point of view, it is
pertinent to remark that they can shift the
burdens to other shoulders if they desire.
So far from manifesting any especial de-
sire of that sort, most of them are earnestly
engaged in taking that burden away from
others by means of stock market manipu-
lations. and the other prevailing ways of
getting hold of other peoples money.
1t is safe to say that when men of wealth
really and truly regard wealth as burden,
they will cease to pursue 1t by fair means
and foul.

THE EUROPEAN QUARREL,

There is decided note of opera 6oufe,
or more exactly of the comic style cre-
ated by Gilbert, in the last subject which
has been selected to demonstrate the irre-
pressible enmity between France and
Germany Whether the old topics of
quarrel have failed, or whether there was
continental demand for a little variety
in the international gnashing of teeth, the
chronic Franco-G German war appears to be
on the eve of new outbreak over the
supposedly pacific matter of Industrial
EXpositions.
1t is rather difficult at this distance
and it may well be at closer quarters
to tell exactly where the enmity started.
1t seems that Germany pre-empted the
right to hold Universal Exposition in
Berlin in 1896, and France thereupon rose

The reduction in Mr. Gladstone's ma.
jority in the Midlothian constituency, is
made much of by the Tories as indicating
a popular rebuke to Home Rule. Mr..
Gladstone finds an explanation more salts.
factory to himself in the opposition of the
Scotch Church. But there is room for doubt
whether the actual and active cause which
cut down the Liberal leaders vote is not
the familiar one in all representative coun-
tries, of local popularity against national
reputation.
1t is an old experience that man who
cultivates the local feeling can often over
set the man who neglects that parochial
sentiment for the settlement of national
questions. 1t has been done time and
again in this country, and not infrequently
in England. In Mr.. Gladstone's case
it only had the effect of a reduced
majority. The biographical sketches
of the opposition candidate indicate
that this was the sentiment operating in
the Midlothian vote. Col. Wamhope, it
is said, "could probably have been beaten
by no one but Mr. Gladstone himself /"

nected with the local interests, popular,

IN SEDUCTIVE FORM.

We have received copy of the Pitts
burg Journal, devoted to the promulga-
ton of the single tax idea, with a blue
pencil mark around an article copied from
the Standard and written by Henry
George, referring to Hyattsville, Md, as
ian outright single tax town." This we
suppose to be in answer to the recent COM
ments of THE DISPATCH on the allega-
ton that the single tax experiment was
being tried there.
Yet If Mr.. George accepts the Hyatts-
vile tax as his long-advocate single tax, it
is the most wonderful case of transition
from the sublime of the appropriation of
land values by taxation to the ridiculous
Of a very light rate of taxation. The
great and radical claim of Mr. George in
times past has been that property in land,
apart from improvements, should be
taken for the public by taxing it the
entire rental value The local journal of
that cult contains large number of
quotations, ranging from authorities like
the Book of Leviticus to Black Hawk and
the Brahmins, expressing the idea that
land should not be individual property.
Yet we are presented, as practical
realization of that idea, with the Hyatts-
vile levy of one-fourth of one per cent on
the assessed value, or presumably about
one-twenty- fourth of the rental. More
over, while the Henry George propaganda
have heretofore proclaimed that the
system would wipe out the speculative
value of land, the supporter of the Hyatts-
vile policy announces that its first result
will be to increase land values
Every real estate owner in Allegheny
county would be glad to have his land
property taken from him in that way.
But the people who do not own land and
would have to make up the shortage in
revenue might offer very cogent objec-
tions

but Is Stopped by a Crow.
PHILADELPHIA, July l8.-Polly Mitchell, Of
80 South Fourth street, returned home the
other day after an unexpected absence of
three days, and the Nineteenth district
police were busy until late in the evening
transmitting congratulations to their supe-
rior officer for the recovery Of his much
priced parrot.
Nothing was heard from her until Sunday,
when she was discovered by several small
boys perched on the limb of a tree in St.
Peters graveyard, Fourth and Pine Streets
shouting at the top of her voice, "Polly
Mitchel!'' "Polly MITCHELL" Lieutenant
Mitchell heard of the location of the missing
bird and repaired to the spot After carry
ing into effect every scheme his mind could
devise calculated to dislodge the bird, and
listening with characteristic patience to a
thousand or moro suggestions from the
neighbors and their numerous progeny the
owner of the obstinate Polly gave up the at
tempt.
The bird retained her position through
out the night, and early in the morning the
juveniles before referred to held q council
OF war and renewed the attack. A conttnu-
Gus bombardment was kept up during the
morning. during which all the loose cobble-
stones within several squares and an air gun
were called into requisition. 1t was pro-
try the effect of Gatling guns, but its alb.
sence at Gretna nipped this proposal in the
bud and the bird would in all probabilit
still be in the tree but for the opportune ar
rival of crow.
+ The crow scented Polly and swooped
down on her with hostile intent. Polly met
the crow half way and there was thrilling
mid air battle, during which several OF
Polly beautiful feathers f1uttered to the
ground. After retreating to Firth street,
Polly's attempted to return to the foliage of
the graveyard, but the crow blocked the
way, and after short trip to the northward
Polly dropped into Union street. tuckered
out. A fireman from the Union street truck
house rescued the bird and received vicious
bite on his right thumb. Polly was then
turned over to her owner
