PI7T-RrRG. SATURDAY.. SEPT. 10. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
TWO IMPORTANT POINTS.

Very positive language was INDUCED in
by the Mayor at the conference of city
officials yesterday morning. His Honor
disburthened his mind on two points, and
on each his words were pertinent. Both
bear decidedly on the sanitation of the
city and call for vigorous and radical ac-
tion.
The first point is: What shall be done
with property owners who neglect to clean
lots where filth has accumulated? The
Health Officer, as is too often done, notes
the presence of such nuisance and stops
there to inquire what shall be done about
it. The Mayor declares that suits should
be instituted without delay in every case.
That is certainly the least that should be
done. 1t might be well to investigate
whether the city has not the power to
adopt the prompter method of cleaning
up the lot on twenty-four hours notice
and collecting the bill from the owner of
the property. But it is beyond question
that the most vigorous course within the
power of the city authorities should be
adopted in every case where the work of
cleaning up is not set about at once when
its necessity is noticed.
The other point is summed up in the
Mayors assertion that the present situa-
ton shows "the crying need of the city
for some measure of disposing of gar
bage." 1t does, except that the need has
been evident before. The question ought
to have been settled long ago; but now,
that its settlement is imperative, it should
be decided quickly. And since the past
two days have been devoted to an effort
to lessen the filth in the river the present
situation might suggest that the city must
not adopt the medieval idea of increasing
that filth by dumping garbage there.
With these two points fully covered,
our streets kept clean and our water sup
ply pure, Pittsburg can meet the cholera
or any other filth disease with few grounds
for fear.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-09-10

and free trade are the vehicles by which
cholera is spread?
Then, let us go little further. If Re-
publican policy has caused the immigra-
ton which brings cholera, there is neces-
sary Inference that Democratic supremacy
would stop immigration, otherwise it
would be just as bad as the Republican
party in this respect-as happens to have
been the case in the fifties. But does the
esteemed Herald wish to have it under
stood that If the Dem ocratic free trade
policy were carried out the condition of
labor would be so notoriously reduced to
a level with that of Europe that these i'm
migrants would no longer be deluded into
coming over here? That is what its as
sertions mean, if they mean anything;
yet it proves considerably too much for its
party.
Finally, the esteemed Herald declines to
take notice of the fact that the cholera
has not got into this country yet. A little
thing like that, however, is no obstacle to
its logic. If the cholera comes in it will
be due to Republican rule; if it is kept
out, of course it will be the saving grace
of Democracy that keeps it out Is this
the triumphant nature of Democratic logic
in the year of grace 1892?

HARRISBURG. Sept 9.-[Spcciul. 1.-The Build
ing Committee of the Pennsylvania Worlds
Fair building has been in session two days
considering propositions for the decoration
and furnishing of the State building at
Chicago. Vittels & Co., OF Chicago,
were awarded the 'ontract for furnish
ing mantels at sIsOO and for supplying
furniture at A,3O0 The Chapman Decora-
tion Company of Philadelphia, were given
the contract for the necessary decorating.
The Women's Committee of the Board were
empowered to have the reception Darlor fur
nfshed. the cost not to exceed 81 500. EXecu-
tive Commissioner Farquhar was directed
to advertise for bids for the supply of
drapeFy for doors and windows and for
exceed S.. 900. Similar directions were given
with regard to electric light fixtures, the
cost not to be more than S 800. The bids
will be opened October g.

determined to have several regiments of
the State National Guard participate in the
dedicatory ceremonies of the Chicago EX-
the calling out of the troops to suppress the
labor disturbance in Allegheny county has
compelled the change OF programme. and
only the Governor and his military staff will
be officially present on that occasion.
Mr.. Roenick, of Pittsburg, a member OF
the Worlds Fair Commission, had prepared
bids to furnish State building at Chicago,
but as the Building Committee thought the
member OF the board should not enter into
competition with others for the supplying
of material he gracefully withdrew his
prop osition.

FROM SHIP To SHORE,

The announcement that healthy passen-
gers detained at quarantine on vessels
with cholera cases aboard are TO be trans
ferred to Sandy Hook came none too soon.
Of course the quarantine will still be en-
forced in their new quarters, and must be
maintained until the health officers are
perfectly satisfied that in dispensing they
will not carry disease with them. The
transfer must be carefully made and the
rules rigidly executed in the new sur
roundings.
With these provisions the change cannot
meet with anything but commendation.
1t will mitigate the inconvenience of those
detained and relieve them from all unnec-
essary risk. The move is humanitarian
one and wise from a hygienic point of
view, since it lessons the chance Of adding
new victims to the disease.

COMPLAINTS FROM QUARANTINE.

The enforcement of quarantine at New
York brings out in very strong light the
fact that those who are pinched by meas
ures for the public protection are de-
cidedly unable to see the good of it. The
great majority OF the passengers on the
quarantine steamers are distinctly of
opinion that quarantine is all wrong.
This opinion comes from all classes of
passengers.
Miss Lottie Collins, who is coming to
this country as the original exponent of
"Tara-rara-b -boom-de-ay," points out that
she is losing 5000 per night. Senator Nc
Pherson, of New Jersey, and Manager A.
NJ. Palmer, both protest against their de-
tention and point out that there is more
chance of their sickness confined in the
close quarters of the steamship than if
allowed to 60 to their own homes. Both
also omit to take into consideration the
chances of health for go, 900, 900 of people
on shore if the quarantine barrier
were broken down. The plant of
the steamship companies is that they
are losing $4,000, 900 by the interruption of
their business. Generally the argument
of 1000, 900 would be taken as convincing
OF anything; but weighed against cholera
the s., 900, 900 is not worth two cents. Also
we learn that several passengers who have
been passed, mourn the damage to their
fOreign-made clothing inflicted by the dis
infection.
All of which is ground for sympathy
with the sufferers of Inconvenience, loss
or peril; but not for relaxing single pre-
caution. There is classic adage that the
safety of the public is the supreme law.
This is indisputably the case when the
battle is fought against the entrance of an
epidemic on behalf of a nation. The peo-
pie who think their prominence of i'm
portance enough to warrant taking the
chances of introducing the germs of
cholera must learn to the contrary.
One complaint of the quarantined peo-
pie is well founded, if true. They assert
that they are not fully supplied with the
best measures for fighting the disease and
that their accommodations are insufficient
for health. If this is true it should be
remedied. The public welfare as well as
mere humanity requires that everything
which can alleviate the danger of the
quarantined people or improve their
chances of escaping the disease, without
adding to the public hazard shall be fully
and even lavishly supplied

A FREE TRADE ARGUMENT.

And now comes our rabid free trade CO.
temporary the Chicago Herald, with new
version of its charge that the Republican
party is responsible for the cholera. We
now learn that our rulers have been car
rying on a systematic policy of deceiving
the pauper labor of Europe. They have
deluded these ignorant foreigners into the
idea that they can get better wages here.
The land grant corporations have i'm
ported them to take up lands, in violent
notification of the original homestead
policy which, our cotemporary omits to re-
member, was a Republican measure.
These immigrants brought over here under
such deceptive representations bring the
cholera. Argal, demonstrates the Chicago
free trade writer, in the cholera we see the
necessary result of the damning vices of
Republican rule.
With such logic we can prove much
more than this. The city of New York is
notably Democratic; and yet that is the
one port where cholera appears They
have had more cholera in London than in
this country, and England is the great IL
lustration of free trade. Are not here
equally convincing proofs that Democracy
