MONDAY. APRIL IS. 1892.
A MAYORS PROPER SPHERE.

The decision of Mayor William NJ Ken
nedy, referred to in our local columns,
that he will not as Mayor of the Northside
city perform the duties of police magis-
trate, shows proper appreciation of what
a Mayor ought not to do. 1t permits the
inference that the coming Mayor has an
equally high conception of what the Mayor
ought to do. The influence which Mayor
of the right standing can exert for the
welfare and progress of an important city
is something which has not been properly
comprehended in the past The official
head of the city should be the representa-
tive and mouthpiece of its commercial and
social interests. He should be qualified
TO take the initiative in movements for the
public welfare. He should exercise gen.
eral supervision over the municipal policy,
should keep close watch on legislation,
and should have the general direction of
the executive departments. The present
Mayor of Pittsburg has presented an ex-
ample of what Mayor of the right stand
ing can do, with the limitation that his
power over the executive departments is
not as full as it should be.
The proper discharge of these functions
is not compatible with the daily task of
dealing out discipline TO drunks and dis
orderlies, or apportioning the penalties in
cident to police raids. The duties of
police magistrate are not referred to as
anything but important and honorable;
but the point is that they are distinct in
character and form, an entirely separate
field from those which ought to be dis
charged by the official head of great city,
Mayor Kennedy's reported decision is a
proper one. He can attain much greater
public usefulness in showing how the
Mayoralty can take the Office of leadership
in the city's affairs than in the daily task
Of adjudicating the fate of the waits that
fall into the clutches of the police.

IN IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT

The tendency of the time toward pro-
gress in the improvement of industrial
processes, and its especial development in
the direction of supplanting IRON with
steel, is illustrated in an item of local
news in this issue. 1t is the report con-
ceTning the erection of newly invented
machines at McKeesport which will turn
out d complete tube from bar of heated
steel, doing away with the rolling and
welding processes, and permitting the
manufacture of steel tubes instead of
wrought iron. OF course, it is discreet to
await the practical test of this invention
before taking the large results which will
flow from its success as a foregone con-
ciusiOn. But the success of the inventor
in other matters, the magnitude of the
concern interested in the invention, and
the importance of the revolution which it
works IN the making of steel tubes invest
the experiment with great interest. Its pro-
gress will be watched with close attention
by all who are interested in the iron and
steel industry.

CHICAGo'S WISE SECOND THOUGHT.

1t is satisfactory to know that discretion
prevails in Chicago to the extent of in
ducing the Tribune to remark that sit
seems to be advisable for the sake of the
Fair to accept fve-million loan, rather
than refuse it and cling to the illusory
hope of an approximation.
We cannot sufficiently applaud the dis
intereStednesS of this conclusion. If any
other portion of the country has been PAN
ic-stricken by the fear that Chicago would
rashly carry out its threat of refusing the
loan and going off and raising the money
itself, such timorous sections can now
sleep in peace. For the sake of the Fair
Chicago is approaching the point of mag
unanimously accepting the loan of S5,0OO,-
GOO rather than loftily refuse anything
but an appropriation.
This, it may be noted, is something that
the country can tie TO. When Chicago
agrees to accept the loan of that neat sum
we may be sure that she will keep her
promise much better than she did that
other little one about not asking the Gov
ernment to aid the general exhibition by a
cent of pecuniary aid.

ROAD EXHIBIT PROPOSED.

A good suggestion has been made bv
Mr.. Albert A. Pope to the management of
the Chicago Exposition that special ex-
'hibit should be made of the construction
of good roads The classification of exhib-
its for the Fair already include numerous
classes bearing on the question; but they
are scattered through five different depart
ments so that their concentrated effect
will be lost Mr.. Pope urges the collection
in single exhibit of the machinery for
road-making, the roads in process of con-
struction, and the completed roadways,
and he proposes to start movement to
erect building devoted to that purpose.
What is especially needed is demon
stration of the different methods by which
cheap and solid country roads can be
made. The exhibits bearing on high-class
pavements will be sufficiently accessible
to the student of that class of engineering.
The purpose to be attained, as we under
stand it, is to impress the popular
mind with a practical demonstration of
the fact that good country roads can really
be made cheaply, and to convey the in
struction how each locality can do the best
with the material at its command. The
best construction for Macadam, Telford,
gravel and even plank, treated so as to be
durable, would have popular effect that
might revolutionize our road system within
the following decade.
The suggestion deserves popular sup
port 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Pope will
succeed in getting up an object lesson on
the subject of highways that will set all
visitors to the Fair to work for the i'm
provement of the roads of their own
sections.

A CONSERVATIVE VIEW OF MEsABA.

As conservative people were likely to
suspect, the very highly-colored state
ments concerning the new iron ore bed on
the Mesaba range were of the class that
has to be accepted with a great deal of al
lowance., A careful statement of what
has been fully demonstrated, and what is
yet a matter of speculation is given in a
special from Duluth in our news columns.
The indisputable fact is that develop
ments of the deposits on that range show
that a large supply of ore is obtainable at
a cheap cost of mining at the start, with
the probability that the expense of getting
out ore will increase as the drifts are car
ried deeper. The quality of the ore so far
produced ranges from medium up; but at
present the characteristic OF the product is
that it is cheap ore cheaply produced.
There is a compensating probability that
the grade of the ore may improve as the
cost of mining grows. There do not seem
to be over half dozen properties suffici-
emily developed to give even an estimate
of their value, the great bulk of the COM
panies being up to the present of the we'll
known class whose province it is to catch
the money of gudgeons.
1t is safe to regard the Mesaba range as
an important addition to the resources of
raw material for our iron industries Its
development adds to the guarantee of the
manufacture of iron and steel at low cost.
But the stories of boundIess mineral
wealth, far beyond anything ever known
before, are up to date little more than the
product of the enthusiasm of the boomer

OLD CANAL HISTORY

Speaking the Endorsement of the Ohio
River and Lake Erie Ship Canal project,
the Buffalo Courier says: ''There is quite
an agitation in our neighboring State in
favor of this improvement. The queer
thing about it is that for many years a
canal was operated between the port of
Erie and the headwaters of the Ohio,
near Pittsburg-5ut the people cared SO
little about it that they permitted il to be
sold out to the Pennsylvania Railroad and
filed up. The late William L. Scott man.
ipulated the transfer and thus laid the
foundation of his great fortune"
This refers TO a chapter in the history of
canals and the politics of the State as
well which is nearly ancient history and
vet is too instructive to be forgotten. The
old canals were rudimentary, but still they
served purpose which made the railroads
anxious for their extinction. Everything
contributed to aid the railroads in that .pur-
pose. The crooked ways of politics were
manipulated with eminent success. The
canals under political management were
rendered useless by mismanagement until
the State was glad to hand them over to
the railroads Those under corporate
management were frozen out by low rail-
read rates on the competition traffic until
they had to surrender This process
achieved a more complete success in Penn
sylvania than in any other industrial State
Of the Union; and it still remains as a
measure of the power of railroad infiu-
ence in our politics.
The extinction of the canals by such
means is often referred to as an illustra-
ton of the fact that the railroads have
superseded the canals. The inc9rrectness

of that idea, so far as heavy freights are
concerned, is sufficiently demonstrated by
the fact that wherever by fortunate chance
or exceptional independence canals have
been maintained with any pretense at
preserving their efficiency they have
demonstrated their value in competition
with. the railways. The Erie Canal fixes
the rate on grain from Chicago to the
seaboard. The slackwater improvement
on the Monongahela enables the entire
Mississippi valley to be supplied with coal
of exceptional cheapness.
There is no comparison between the
utility of the old-fashioned canals and the
one proposed for Western Pennsylvania.
But the historical fact referred to makes
it pertinent to say that the new project
should rest upon such national basis that
it cannot be gobbled up by the railways.

EXPORTS KILLED BY IMP0RTA
Causes of tho Crisis In Costa RIca Exp1aine,
Very Easily.

Causes OF tho Crisis In Costa Rica Explained
Very Easily.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Bureau Of
American Republics has received from Costa
Rica official Information to the effect that
the increase of the imports into that Repub-
lie during the last twelve months was SO
great that the returns from the coffee crop
and other products of the country during
the same period was not sufficient to meet
the obligations contracted with the shippers
and merchants who had sent the imported
articles. This unbalanced condition Of
things, although momentary, caused RI SO
in the rates of foreign exchange, and specu-
lators undertook to take advantage OF the
increased value of the national silver coin
In the foreign markets, and began to export
1t.
The Costa Rica Government, under this
condition of things, through q permanent
committee of Congress, which during recess
and In cases of urgency has the same powers
as the whole body, has issued a decree for
bidding the expectation, for the period of
six months, of the Costa Rica silver coin,
and authorizing the Executive to shorten or
to extend this time to one year, as circum-
stances may require. The people on their
part have agreed to receive the currency of
transactions. The long list of names, which
the official Gdcetu has been publishing for
the last two months of merchants and i'm.
porters and land owners and others binding
themselves to receive the notes of the bank
OF Costa Rica and the Government notes the
same as gold, seems to indicate that the crisis,
II OF any Importance, will soon be over.
