Ship Ahoy at the Alvin.

"ship Ahoyr', Donnelly and Millers clean,
pretty and amusing burlettn appeared for
the second time In this city at the Alvin
Theater last evening. Ship Ahoyr' is
really q farce-comedy with more pretense
to musical excellence than Is usually Of
fered in such productions. 1t Is like "Pina-
fore'' in makeup and Is unlike it in being
without design or object. 1t has
the merit of being wholly pure in
tone. The authors have succeeded in ar
ranging an amusing entertainments of the
farce-comedy character without intoxicating
a single concert hall or suggestive feature.
That is more than can be said for many
shows of the kind. The company is com
posed fvery clever singers and actors. > In
the simple melodfous music of composer
Fred Miller, they had no difficulty in being
both seen and heard to advantage. The
famous and beauteous Louise Montague sur
prised her Pittsburg friends by her splendid
singing. She is possessed OF good voice,
somewhat limited in range, but extremely
effective in the work required in this
performance. Miss Florence Dunbar and
Miss Annie Barrett are also quite clever,
and made good impressions. Jesse Jenkins
us ENSIGN Tbddles did not display much
ability as an actor. but proved possessed of
a sweet, light baritone voice, which he used
to advantage. The brunt of the work de-
wolves upon James E. Sullivan, who made
a very amusing part of the sorely tried
operatfc manager, Colonel Mdplcson Mulberry
The scenery in 'Ship Ahoy" Is quite good.
The arrival of the White Squadron in Chesa-
peake Bay and the deck Of q sea vessel are
extremely pretty.

ALoNG-sTANDING NEED.

A sign of progress for which occasional
visitors to Pittsburg will be thankful is
contained in the assertion of Mr.. Bigelow
that the long promised street-corner signs
will soon be put up throughout the
city, The destitution of Pittsburg in the
matter of signs disclosing the names Of
streets has long been subjectof comment.
At intervals of four or five years an out
burst of popular protest has been heard
and the expectation has been held out of a
complete reform by which any person at a
street corner can tell what the streets are
"a thing now impossible to strangers at
eighty per cent of the street corners in the
city. Notwithstanding the periodical agi-
tation the street signs have not yet
materialized.
The fact that the promise Of them now
comes spontaneously and not in response
to any recent public demand permits the
hope that the material result will be more
tangible than heretofore. 1t will certainly
supply lorg-felt want when all the street
corners are supplied so that the way-faring
man need not err in his excursions through
the city. ...-.a
When Pittsburg is fully supplied with
street signs the public will be almost in
clined to hope for the realization of that
other and slightly more recent promise
from the head of the Department of Public
Works about putting all the electric wires
underground.

TIE SMALLER TASK FIRST,

The possibility of making season fore
casts of the weather is discussed by the
New York Herald, with the result of
reaching this profound conclusion:
Much more may be achieved in this direc-
tion than is now conceived of if the tropical
regions of the globe Tin which all the grand
movements of the atmosphere originate)
were laid under observational tribute, and
ocean going shipping also were more exten-
sively employed by climatologists for col
lecting Information bearing upon the prac-
tical application of their science, and, apart
from all theories of the agency of sun spots
in terrestrial weather, 1t would be gross
blunder to overlook the possibility of OBJ
tanning important clews for the better pre-
diction of our seasons from the earnest and
patient students of solar meteorology.
Az of which is very fine and impressive
ly in keeping with the Herald's assump-
ton of especial wisdom ON the subject of
weather. Nevertheless, before "observa-
tional tribute" is laid on the tropics to
permit forecasts of the weather for an en-
tire season, it is pertinent to suggest that
this tribute or something else should be
turned on the present task of foretelling
weather forty-eight hours in advance.
A week in which the patient weather
bureau kept up the prediction "of severe
storms for this section without success,
until it decreased its requirements and
obtained moderate need of verificatjon
in the mild thunderstorm of Sunday, is
not good one in which to talk of turning
the science of "solar meteorology" to the
prediction of weather for an entire season.

its stead the sound method of rehabilitat-
ing silver as money metal. With that
indication of sound opinion among the
Minnesota Democrats we have ground for
hope that the sections where the Bland
bill was supposed to have the greatest
strength will take the ground on the use
Of silver without involving an imitation
of values or a scaling of debts. If the
Democracy of the nation have the good
sense to take the position of the Mime
sofa platform, they will be unassaiiable so
far as silver is concerned, however they
NAV be misled as to the tariff.

STUPID EXCLUSION.

A remarkable illustration of the changes
brought about by the whirligig of time is,
that generation after the United States
Joined other civilized powers in opening
the Chinese and japanese empires to civil
ization, one branch of the United States
Congress passes a bill to establish against
the Chinese an exclusion as complete as
China ever set up against any other part
of the world.
The Geary bill, passed by the House of
Representatives yesterday ,forbids entrance
to the United States of any Chinese
person, except the Minister from China and
his private and official family. Why, if
such an exclusion is to be established, any
arrangement should be made for Chinese
Minister it is difficult to say. unless it be
that the political managers recognize that
shutting up the Chinese mission at Wash
ington might also close certain fat berths
for our politicians in China. But it is
certain that the bill is the most remarkable
and unwarranted measure that California
demagoguery could have devised.
The bill not only violates the treaty
obligations which we induced China to
agree to, but it is absolutely brutal in its
sacrifice of our own interests. If China
should try to make cred1table exhibit at
the Worlds Fair, the bill, if enacted,
would shut out every man sent to set up
the exhibit If Chinese statesmen or
capitalists should wish to come to that
exhibition to see what could be adapted
to the needs of their land in the line Of
machinery, or fabrics, this stupid law
would forbid them to patronize our in
stitutions. Under such a law there would
be no use in trying to keep up intercourse
and extend trade with China, and tine
Chinese Government would be perfectly
justified in establishing the same rule of
non-intercourse with this nation on their
side
1t is by an exactly opposite course Of
legislation that Great Britain has extended
her trade with China while ours has
dwindled nearly to the point Of dis
appearance. The present law has pre-
vented Chinese immigration from flooding
the country. There is no need to stultify
the international policy simply to make
political capital for California politician.

1T WOULD BE A SMALLER JOB.

As an evidence of what it calls tfbun-
combe politics." the New York Press
refers to the S21, ,OOO,O river and harbor
bill introduced in the House while that
body is opposed to the Nicaragua canal,
and says: -Four annual appropriations of
s21, 900, 600 each would probably build the
canal"
This is correct as far as it goes. But
it is necessary to add that any Congress
which would make those four appropria-
tions of SS4, ,000, 900 an toto, to build a
canal two thousand miles away from the
nearest territory of the United States,
would be buried so deep under popular
condemnation at the next election that it
could never show its head again. Yet
the Job in that form would not be 50 rank
as in the form already presented to
Congress The total of SS4, 600, 900 would
give crooked profit of S14 900, 900 to the
promoters of the canal who have con-
tracted with themselves to build it. The
proposed guarantee of S10O,oOO,00O will
give them a margin of $50, 900, 900 over the
engineers estimates.
An appropriation of S21, 100000 for a
river and harbor bill without clearly
defined basis of operations for the crea-
ton of internal waterways is bad
economy. 1t is an example of the politi-
cal vices which prevail in both parties
that Congress elected for the correction
of previous extravaganza cannot do better
than produce a bill on this scale. But
when the plan is laid out so that each
years expenditure will bring US further
on the way toward the completion of
comprehensive system of ship canals,
there can be no way of spending the
peoples money to yield such good returns.
On the other hand there could be no
more arrant and uniustifable waste of
the public funds of the United States than
to put them into the swamps of Nicaragua
for the benefit of nearly everyone except
the people of this country. The Nicaragua
Canal Company is entitled to build its
own canal if it wishes, but it is not en-
titled to either money or credit from the
United States Treasury.

SOUND ON SILVER

The Democrats of Minnesota had the
good sense to put themselves on solid
ground with regard to silver coinage.
They reject alike the reduction in the
standard of valuations proposed by the
Bland bill and the Government warehouse
policy of buying up silver and. storing it
away established by the present law.
They believe in the free coinage of silver
dollars that will be the equivalent OF gold
dollars, and vice versa, and assert the
duty of Government ''to examine the rel
ative values of the metals of coinage as
established by the commercial world, and
if there has been sufficient f1uctuation
in the value of either to make the ex-
isting ratios unequal, then to readjust the
ratios so that the number of grains of
either metal in the unit of coinage, the
dollar, shall be equivalent in value, and
then to permit the free, unrestricted coin
age of both metals"
This is practically the silver policy out
lined by THE DISPATCH as the correct
one 1t is encouraging to find that the
Democracy of the Northwest are so little
affected by the cheap money heresies that
they keep themselves clear of the Bland
policy of reducing the dollar to 20 per
cent of its present value; and substitute in

TOO sHREwD TO BE MIsLED.

Rhode Island is small State, but what
is lacking in quantity of brain is to con-
siderable extent made up in quality.
There are some very shrewd thinkers
among the manufacturers, who cannot be
taken in by spurious logic which scorns
even consistency, that chiefest necessity for
successful argument As one of them
points out in THE DISPATCH this morning,
it is simply ridiculous for Democrats to go
to Rhode Island and tell the manufactur-
ers that the Springer bill will reduce the
price of their raw material while they try
to persuade the wool raiser that it will
raise the price of his product. Mr..
Springer's statement in the House yester-
day that the only possible result of his bill
is to raise the price of American wool
should teach the Islanders that it is dam
gerous to trust tariff-tinker even when
professedly bringing gifts. Then, too,
they are patriotic enough to refuse ben
eft which would be merely local and not
national.
If wool can be successfully raised in
America-and it is but blind minority
which attempts to deny facts clearly eS-
tablished by experience-then America
should be self-contained in this as in all
other possible respects. Nothing should be
done to discourage the grazing industry.
Every tariff legislation should have for its
object the absolute independence of our
country from the rest of the world for the
necessaries and conveniences of life.
Opinion among the rank and file of voters
appears to be much more divided than it
should be on question so clearly defined
as the leading issue of this election. If
Rhode Island should at this time elect a
body of men pledged to do all they can to
overthrow the ramparts of Protection the
result will in degree be national disas-
ter. Such performance would do much
to destroy a reputation for sagacity and
the State would not easily get over the
blow. On the other hand the prestige of
patriotic rally would have force enough
to stagger the enemy and bring sure de-
feat upon his cause.
