TEE RESULT OF NEGLECT.

The report issued by the Allegheny Au.
ditors caps the climax of the exposures
which have been made of the laxity which
prevails in the administration of public
affairs in the sister city. The lack of sys-
tenn which allows money due the city
treasury to accumulate in idleness until it
reaches more than $3.50, 600 is indefensible.
The neglect of duty by officials in posi-
tions of public trust, which has permitted
the continuance of such state of affairs,
reflects great and serious discredit on
their understanding or their conscience.
But the matter, after all, comes back to
those citizens who have allowed apathy,
negligence, or the pressure of private af-
fairs to lead to practice Of ignoring their
duties to the community.
The disease of maladministration has so
spread as to necessitate heroic remedies in
the form of amputations. When the body
polite has once been freed of the impuri-
ties which threaten its vitality, a recur-
renee of such an unwholesome condition
should be prevented by universal individ-
ual attention to the necessity Of proper
business management The voters elect
their servants and the former must accept
the responsibility for the results of their
own negligence.

THE HILL FARM MINE.

The finding nearly two years after the
terrible Hill Farm disaster of the bodies
of twenty-three miners who lost theil
lives by that calamity revives the recol
lection of a tragic event relieved by the
heroism that it occasioned.
The explosion which visited sudden
and awful death ON twenty-nine men in
the Hill Farm mine was sad evidence OF
the disaster that can be inflicted by the
neglect Of constant precaution against
underground perils. But the gloom OF
that tragedy was Offset by the united
heroism of the efforts to rescue the doomed
men long after hope for them hung on less
than thread. For weeks men flocked
from all parts of the mining district to
lend their aid in penetrating the part of
the mine where the victims were supposed
to be. Work went on increasingly, hun
dreds of yards of rock were tunneled
through, until the mine was reached, only
to find that the effort had been in vain
Even after the work of penetrating the
dread secret had lost the prominence
which made it the chief news of the nation
for weeks, it has been carried on. The
task of eXtinguishing the flames, of
pumping out the water, and of ventilating
the mine has occupied twenty months, and
at last the nature of the death suffered BY
the score anda half victims of the disaster
will be known. The brave and unre-
mitting work that has followed the
great calamity is worthy of all honor; but
let us hope that no such occasion for it
may be again experienced in the mining
industry of Western Pennsylvania.

PITTSBuRG. THURSDAY. MARCH a.
TWELVE PAGES
CONClLIATORy OR DEFIANT

There is the discrepancy of assertion
which usually prevails in news of diplo-
matte matters on the subject of Lord
Salisbury's reply to our Government on
the renewal of the modus vivendi The
variety permits those who are disposed one
way or the other to exercise choice as to
what they shall believe.
One statement is to the effect that Lord
Salisbury is running with the hare and
hunting with the hounds by refusing the
modus vivendi, but at the same time in
timating that If the United States chooses
to prevent sealing in Bering Sea he will
not interfere with its doing so. This
would be a comparatively easy way out of
the difficulty, il it were so. But another
statement asserts that Lord Salisbury is
defiant" and nothing could be more in
congruous than for defiant lingo states
man to permit the other in the contro-
versy to seize and condemn the vessels of
its subjects, on the assumption that it will
be sustained in the pending arbitration.
Whether his Lordship is conciliatory or
defiant, the American people will perceive
in the conflicting statements very good
reason for maintaining their composure
until the statesmen have finished their
squabble. This they will do subject to
very clear understanding that the people
will not permit such a stupid thing as
actual war over lot of seals.

AN INSTRUCTIVE RUMoR.

There is volume of national instruc.
ton in the statement that the Bureau OF
American Republics, which was one of
the tangible results of the Pan-American
Congress, is threatened with extinction.
This organization has done good work in
familiarizing the people of both American
continents with the advantages to be
secured by the extension of trade between
them; but its work is nullified and its
operations are likely to be brought to a
standstill by the recent explorations of
jingoiSm.
The Bureau was started on the under
standing that the United States was to pay
for carrying it one year, after which the
other governments represented in the
Congress were to bear half the expenses.
This it is reported on behalf of the South
American Republics they will decline to
do, the tone adopted in the dealings with
Chile having indisposed the Spanish
American Governments for further effort
in the line of closer relations with the
United States
This, if correct, and it should be noted
that it is nothing more than rumor so far,

part of the Spanish-American Govern
ments They should remember that the
exchange of products is an operation
which benefits both countries engaged in
it, and that therefore their own benefit as
much as that of the United States is in
volved in the policy thus abandoned They
should also perceive that if the United
States departed so much from its former
custom as to be nearly as peremptory as
England or Germany would be under like
circumstances, and thereby wounded the
Spanish-American susceptibilities, our
bark, especially when voiced by the jingo
element, is several degrees worse than our
bite.
At the same time this report, if true,
conveys very decided lesson to the
statesmen of this country, that policy of
American reciprocity is not particularly
aided by an unnecessary display of per-
emptory language in international deal
ings for political revenue.

the Tribune to the exclamation, 'And
this is the Mayor of civilized city!''
Yet by the premises which have been
accepted, nenaine contradicente, through
the voice of an untrammeled press, why
is not Mayor Grants logic impregnable?
1t has long been the unanimous ac-
clamation of society and the press
that the payment of vast sums for
something unique and undesirable in the
line of horsefeshis is among the .triumphs Of
civilization. The horse who can lower the
record a fraction of second is more to the
public than the greatest achievements of
learning or patriotism. The man who
spends s1OO, 900 on the ownership is pub
lie benefactor pointing the way to that
millennial achievement of trotting mile
in less than two minutes.
Public opinion having agreed to these
things does it not follow that the slice of a
public park is very small price to give up
to the furtherance of such an overmaster-
ing public aim? We would not object to
sacrificing park to the winning of VIC
tory by General defending his country;
why should we not do as much for a pur-
suit On which the people gladly spend
more than they ever did on the military
commanders? 1t has been the practically
unanimous verdict of our New York CO.
temporaries that the laws against gambling
practices must not attack the grand vested
interest of pool selling at trotting meet
ings If the laws of morality must courtesy
to the royalty of the American trotter,
why should not few score of park acres
go with them?
We think our friends of the New York
press will have to abate their opposition to
the park speeding track, or else make the
more humiliating and less profitable
change of confessing that their past &C.
stasies over the great and lofty pursuit Of
the Two-Minute boon to mankind was
more vociferous than judicious.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
Hon. A. b. Fafquhar Says That 1t Would
Iniure the CountrY's Credit.


Injure the Country's Credit.
In an article upon the "Silver Coinage"
published in the York Gazette Hon. A. B.
Farquhar says: A 'free coinage law, we
grant, would very soon raise the price of the
silver ounce to its par value of 81 29-that is,
more properly speaking, it would debase our
81 20 to the value of an ounce of silver-but
that nominal increase could have no effect
on silver quotations in other countries, or
on real values here. It would amount to o
legal permission granted every man under
obligation to pay 81 90 to discharge that
obligation by paying q quantity of silver
whose cost, in goods or in labor, would be
less than what we now know as dollar.
Gold would be of no use to US except in
special gold contracts, where that metal
was explicitly named; no one would use
gold dollar where a depreciated dollar could
serve the same purpose: and we should find
ourselves as far from bimetallism as we
have ever been. If there is anything in the
experience Of any country, which could en-
able us to hope for any other result, as
suredly nothing has been made known.
Who would be injured by the proposed de-
probation of all money obligations? Land
lords and holders of mortgages. to some e1-
tent; but small investors in savings banks,
building associations. life insurance policies
and other rewards OF frugalitv and industry.
their allowances docked by 20 to 80 per cent,
the laborers to whom, throughout our coun-
try, $100, 600 900 in arrears OF wages are al
ways due, would suffer a dead loss in equal
proportion; their employers would be able,
moreover, to hold them to the same nominal
figures on their rolls, long after those figures
had lost quarter OF their real significance;
and the injury that must be suffered by these
classes would transcend, a hundred fold. all
that could be visited on the richer creditors.
Can any Democrat, glorying in his party's
contemplate such an act without shame?
But that is not all, nor the worst. Our coun-
try's credit must suffer, along with the wage
earners and patrons of savings banks. By
shaving 90 or 80 per cent from what it has
promised to pay its creditors, the Govern
ment may come easier out of its present in.

however tile champions of free silver may
attempt to explain it away, the world out

gar repudiation-the sophistries by which it

TIE NEW JERSEY SCANDAL.

Among other recent demonstrations of
practical politics, that act of the New
Jersey Legislature in rushing to passage a
bill sahctioning the Reading deal produces
some disclosures. These indicate state
of facts which should be highly instructive
to those of our esteemed contemporaries
which have referred to the action of that
legislative body as indicating the character
of the combination.
One New Jersey Senator states over his
own name that he Was offered $4,000 for
his vote in favor of the bill. This seems
to be much above the usual quotations for
New Jersey legislators. But one vote was
needed, and the law of supply and demand
ran the price up until the lobby agent was
authorized to offer Senator Rogers ga sum
many times larger than the original $1O,-
000,' which the agent did not do, as it was
useless. The one vote needed was obtained
somewhere else, presumably at a round
sum, though probably at slight decline
from the top of the market.
The report is also heard that the pas
sage of the bill cost the combination
s., 100000. This is, Of course, gossip, as
the men who know what it cost are not
imparting the information to the public.
But the nature of the measure, the char
acter of the Legislature and the manner
in which the bill was put through without
a single argument in its favor possess all
the features of highly purchased legisla-
tion. OF course, the addition of the cost,
whatever it was, to the expenses of the
combination will be factor in the cheap
performance of its services. The organs
of the deal will find no difficulty in rec
ognizing such a method of getting what
the combination wants, as primary evi-
dence of economical and efficient public
service.
In connection with this it is of course
necessary to specify that the eminent and
respectable managers of these corpora
tons would never do so lawless an act as
