Editor STATE REPUBLICAN,:
Is not the Tribune ashamed of its
action in accusing the board of edu-
cation of paltisanship? In view of
the fact that three members of the
present board we're members of the
board and of the majority when
Messrs. Oldham and Kochtitzky were
elected to the positions they held un-
til recently.
Does the Tribune maintain that our
public school has from year TO year
improved dur the time that Prof.
Oldham has been in Chargeg and that
its discipline and mode Of instruction
and the general reputation as a school
of learning is better to-day than when
he first tocok charge?
In the selection of Mr.. Leslie, as
ap assistant, does it not occnI to the
Tribune, That perhaps the hoard ACTED
upon the high recommendation given
him when a candidate for school com.
missioner, that justified the board in
so doing?
Now, as to partisanship, can IL be
.gainsaid that the board, although
with u clear republican majority
selected thP TEACHERS without regard
to politics?
1t is a fixed and immuiable law that
TO have good, sound health II must
have pure, rich and abundant blood.

A PLAGUE OF BEDBUGs,
The Excessive Heat of This Summer VIII
Have Much to Answer For.

The Excessive Heat of This Summer VIII
Have Much to Answer For.
Not only does the cholera threaten Pitts
burg, but the people have had to put up
with more than the usual number of small
pests this summer. First came the grass
hoppers, and now, to make life more mis-
cradle, there is an invasion of bedbugs
People all over the city are complaining
about them, and corrosive sublimate and
insect powder are in great demand. House
wives who closed up their h ONES weeks ago
to spend the summer elsewhere were sur
prised on their return to find bedbugs,
reaches and other small insects in abund-
ance. They have gotten into houses where
they were unknown before.
A physician in speaking of the plague of
insects and bugs yesterday said the large
number was due to the excessive heat.
Some bedbugs are always with US, but
more than the usual batch were Matched out
by the heat this summer The doctor ex-
planned further that they like certain kinds
of wood used in bed Stats and even the wire
in the springs. On these articles they
thrived until the families came home from
the mountains and seashore, when they
soon made their disagreeable presence
known,

A MONUMENT AT SCHENLEY.

Chief Bigelow Receives Suggestion From
an Old Soldier-Wants Monument at
the Park-The Chief Likes the idea.
Chief BigeIow yesterday received COM
munication from Thomas McGrath, former
resident of this city, and member of the One
Hundred and Second Regiment, suggesting
the erection of soldiers monument at
Schenley Park. The Chief was impressed
by the suggestion and will give the matter
further consideration. Mr.. McGrath said:
In 1861 the pulse Of the people who then
composed this Government was at high
ebb that it is impossible to describe. Men
were arming and preparing for war in every
hamlet and city of the United States: old
fathers and loving American mothers were
giving their best blood in defense of the Ma
tfonal Union; every loyal city and State was
offering the President the best Americans as
volunteer soldiers. ana it can be said with
out fear of contradiction the city of Pitts
burg was the first to respond.
The city of Pittsburg sent four or six as
hne regiments OF infantry as ever stood upon
q battlefield, and batteries OF artillery, am
unable to designate how many, but they
were good ones. If am not mistaken there
was cavalry regiment went from this city.
Several gunboats that performed active
service were built here. The commands l
have enumerated were made up from the
brave young men OF this city many of whom
never returned, but who fell defending your
homes and riresides.
1t is true all could not be killed or die in
prison pens of the South; many returned and
are living among the citizens of this rich
city to-day. With all this array of fidelity to
country and true patriotism and loyalty to
this city, would 1t not be In keeping If the
good people who did not take an active part
in the battles of the war would now confer
some honor upon these commands recruited
here, went to the field of strife and did not
return until peace was again proclaimed?
Now that the city has park, what could
add more beauty or receive more attention
from the generations to come than beauti-
full shaft or monument erected in the park
in a prominent location. This shalt or
monument would be an educator to the gen.
Grafton which will tread in our footsteps. 1t
will serve as a remembrance of the war. and
at the same time confer an honor on the sur
vivors.
The city OF Allegheny has its beautiful
parks and monuments 1t has a soldiers
monument on Monument Hill. You will say
to me that Pittsburg holds an interest in
that monument, but the city of Allegheny
has possession. Braddock has its soldiers
monument, and also Mckeesport, but the
great city of Pittsburg has none. AS Pitts
burg is forging to the front in all things iG
is to be hoped that she will not be lacking in
comforting this simple honor upon the brave
men from your city who dared defend and
die that this blessed nation might live.

Chances During Cholera.

During the last serious cholera epidemic in
Paris it was estimated by the local physicians
that the chance that an acclimated per-
son living in clean quarters and observing
even ordinary sanitary precautions would
contract the disease was about one
in 1000 Americans were said
to run one chance in 500, and an
American, some years resident in Paris
when the outbreak came, reports that no
one with whom he was acquainted in the
slightest degree. whatever his walk in life,
was Sc lied with the disease

FRESH FROM NORTH CAPE.

Colonel Andrews Tells Of His Visit to the
Northern Coast of Europe-Hamburg
Pronounced the Cleanest and Best City
I'm the Old World.
Colonel James Andrews, who returned
last week from an extended tour of Europe,
tells many amusing stories of his
experiences, especially at North
Cape, the most northern point
in Europe. 1--WE went from London
on a steamer to the land of the midnight
sun. Oh, it was grand trip" the Colonel
went on with some enthusiasm. "At
North Cape the sun shines perpetually, and
in valley there we stood with one foot on
the ice and the other foot on the pebbles
and plucked the most beautiful flowers that
ever grew. The ice there is probably 80
feet thick.
''There are many Laps there. They live
entirely on Goldfish, and they use reindeer
as beasts of burden. They are all punY peo-
pie and they are deplorably filthy Why
Digger Indian is dude compared with the
people of North Cape.
eve heard nothing Of cholera until We
were about ready to leave Europe" the
Colonel went on. "About the middle of
July we were in Hamburg. 1t was
then the very picture of cleanliness. The
streets were well paved and it was by far
the cleanest and best city we visited in all
our travels. OF course we had heard of the
cholera in Russia but We paid little
or no attention to it. 1 think there
is more excitement over here about
cholera than there is in Europe. Ham,
burg is not badly stricken after ALL
"When one remembers that Hamburg has
population of Goo, 600 people and there have
only been 1000 deaths from cholera he can
figure out that the death rate has not been
very large. The death rate does not show
one to every 1000 OF the inhabitants We
have that many fatal railroad accidents to
that many people. We have that many
deaths to that number of people from old

Nearly Fifty Firms Have Failed to Obey

Chief Bigelow is after the firms in the
district wherein smoke is prohibited who
have failed to obey the ordinance which
went into effect on the 1st instant A re-
port prepared by Chief Clerk Dimes, of
the Water Assessment Bureau, shows that
there are 103 establishments in the smoke
less district who use steam boilers to which
the ordinance applies. Some of these have
as high as ten boilers
Twenty-seven establishments use gas for
fuel. Nearly as many more have put in
smoke consumers to comply with the ordi-
nance. The city is in the latter list, having
put in smoke preventing stoker at the
Heron Hill pumping station, which is
working very satisfactorily There are
nearly 80 firms and individuals who have
failed to comply with the ordinance. No.
tices will be sent to them this week, and if
they fail to obey suits will be brought
against them.
