WH1TNEY,s GREAT SUCCESS,

While the Chicago Convention equals
the Minneapolis gathering in consigning
certain practical politicians to the back
seats of obscurity, it has a more positive
result in bringing manager to the front
who bids fair to loom as Warwick. Be-
fore the convention there were some
vigorous attempts to push VIM. c. Whit
ney to the front as Presidential quantity.
Mr.. Whitney took occasion, however, to
choose more fruitful role, and by the
smooth and skilful management of the
Cleveland campaign stands more promi-
nently than even Depew on the Repub-
lican side as the power behind the throne
Everybody unites in praising Mr.. Whit
ney's astute and suave policy at the con-
vention. He guided the Cleveland forces
to victory without an error. Under his
tactful management the vulgar and re-
pulsive methods of seeking delegates were
eschewed No attacks on the personality
of opposing candidates were permitted; no
brass band hunting for delegates was in
dulged in, and the new fashion of en-
PlOying women shouters to start stam
pede was calmly ignored. The good taste
of the Cleveland management was so
prominent that even Tammany was forced
in very self-defense to adopt good man.
ners. The course of the ex-Secretary
was original, but is proved by the event
to have been almost infallible. First he
quieted the anti-snappers and preventeda
contest; then he won Palmer over and
bagged Illinois; after that Watterson was
landed by the selection of Temporary
Chairman, and the Indiana contingent
was brought into the net Such work was
helped by the fact that he had the popu-
lar candidate; but its skill and success
put Whitney way in the lead among man
ayers on the Democratic side.
II Cleveland is elected, Whitney will
be great figure in Democratic politics.

New YORK, June GA little scene oc-
CURED Tuesday night after the Republican
ratification meeting had adjourned, in which
Governor Mckinley was paid high homage
by his enthusiastic admirers. In fact, the
altitude of said homage was such that the
Black Prince Of Protection was for minute
in slight danger of life and limb.
As the audience dispersed, the men on the
platform all gathered around to congratu-
late the Governor. and he was the center of
a struggling crowd. When all had shaken
hands, the members of the Ratification Com
mittee suddenly grasped the Governor on
all sides, raised him to their shoulders, and
bore him triumphantly of the stage. He
was helpless in their hands, and could only
submit
1t was a spontaneous movement, and
while such honor has been accorded MANY
men before, it is doubtful If any were borne
on such Heterogeneous palanquin, formed
by the shoulders of represen tatives from
every State and Territory in the Union. It
was another dramatic picture added to the
many in his past career, and good protec-
tionists probably regard 1t as a happy omen.

An Amendment TO the Agricultural Bill
Causes a Windy Argument.
WASHINGTON, June 23-The agricultural
appropriation bill was disposed of by the
Senate to-day except as to one amendment
on which action has been reserved until the
Senate meets again on Monday. Thatamend-
ment gave rise to much discussion and to SO
much opposition that q yea ana nay vote
upon it could not be dispensed with, and
such vote would have only disclosed the
absence Of q quorum.
1t was in relation to the provision as to
monthly crop reports, the bill as passed by
the House requiring them to be strictly"

preparations recommended the striking ont
of the restrictive words and 1t was that
recommendation which MI. Vest, aided by
Mr. Washburn and others, fought and which
still remains to be voted upon.

NEW YORK, June 23-Old Hutch went into
the secondhand furniture business yester.
day, and was busy all the morning carting
broken-backed chairs and legless tables into

Pure Water and Plenty Of It.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Apropos the handling of Indian creek
waters-more fully set forth in an issue of an
evening paper Friday, June 1.-THE follow
ing figures may be pertinent:
Under heavy piston pressure water Is sup
posed to travel 100 feet per minute, but un-
der hill reservoir the pressure is double and
perhaps more than double A 10-inch pipe
under heavy piston pressure will throw 4l8
gallons per minute. while the same pipe,
under hill reservoir pressure. will throw
1000 to l. 200 gallons per minute, or a. 600 gal
Ions per hour, or l.72S, 900 gallons per day.
Indian creek waters are unQuestfonably OF
the purest quality, and the writer holds that
if some of our doubling editors. open to con-
viction, would, at the dryest weather stage,
visit Indian creek and its tributaries, with
their never-failing springs, a favorable i'm
preston would be made, to say the least.
Pittsburg could secure perfect and pure
water supply from this source. D. II.

OUR MAIL POUCH.
Protection for Home Industries.
70 the Editor of The Dispatch:

TO the Edltor OF The Dlspatch:
am much pleased with your remarks in
this mornings DISPATCH about the contract
for the Phipps Conservatory being given to
a New York firm, and entirely agree with
you that it would be equally fair to import
coal from England. l am an ardent believer
in protection, as my father was before me.
and it has frequently seemed strange to me
that while we are protected againse England
and Canada we have no protection from
competition from other States. There are
plenty of contractors in Pittsburs who
could have built the Phipps Conservatory;
then why go to New York? 1t seems to me
that architects and contractors from abroad
should have to paw q good stiff license be-
fore being allowed to do any work here. Our
merchants are protected against outside
competition by a tax on peddlers, and why
should not our contractors and architects
have the same show? l suppose they were
enabled to bid trifle under our people,
having probably more facilities, but ii our
contractors were only protected for few
years until they got securely on their feet.
they could build buildings so low that they
could defy outside competition. If this is
not 80, then do not understand the logic of
protection. Z. VARUNA.

DAM BUILDING IN Pennsylvania.
Some Weak Points of Construction OutIin ed
by an Eastern Contemporary.


by an Eastern Contemporary.
Philadelphia Ledger.l
There is something wrong about dam
building in Pennsylvania, or the water res
ervoirs of the State would be able to with
stand summer storms. 1t is not sufficient
explanation to say that there have been ex-
traordiuary cloud bursts, for dam breasts
should be built to resist just such pressures
as come upon them from an excess of water.
Sometimes the fault results from too great
economy in construction, and sometimes
from an extension OF the dam breast without
proper strengthening of the foundations.
Each builder of a dam, though his stored
water may endanger the lives of entire viii
lagos, is sole judge of what precautions he
should take
The people of st. Clair and other villages
near Pottsville have passed 4Shours of great
mental strain due to q leaking dam that
threatened to sweep away their homes, and,
though no disaster should follow, the Incl
dent should be accepted as lesson just as
valuable as one given by a great disvster.
The lesson is that dams of this character
should meet the approval OF State engineers
before they are allowed to he used Tor the
accumulate and storage Of large bodies of
water.

Is it a soup ticket?

CLEVELAND is stronger than Harrison in
one respect. He has no son Russell.
FRED MULLER, of the Bulletin, tells a
good many interesting things, but he has a
hard-luck story OF his own which beats
the average. His father owns a farm, neal
Zelienople, in Butler county, and away back
in the COS Fred sank we'll for OIL The
market price at that time was 81 a barrel
and, when after gong down 800 feet. no
signs OF oil were found, all Fred's golden
visions vanished. Eight hundred feet was
regarded as deep enough to get whatever
was going in those days, and, al.
though the owner of the we'll wanted
to go deeper, he was discouraged by t,,e
drillers. Besides that he had used up his
ready cash and did not feel like going 'nto
debt. About eighteen months ago big wells
were struck on the Muller farm at a. depth
Of 1000 feet and the farms production now
is 1000 barrels a month oil which the owner
gets one-eighth at the market price Of oil
about So cents a barrel. II oil had been
found in that first we'll. the owner would
have had it all and $4,000 month is Ger.
tainly worth passing regret.
A ONCE familiar figure in the manufact-
uring world who is occasionally seen on
the streets still, but no longer is n man of

great firm Of Graft, Bennett & Co. and Pres
ident of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail-
road Company, at one time Mr.. Bennett
was as well known and as busy as any man
in Pittsburg. After his second failure he
settled down to q quiet life at Belle vue,
coming to the city in his well-known buggy
now and then to assist in settling some
thing connected with his former business
He seems in good health and spirits, and
takes keen interest in passing events in
politics and trade.
NOBODY seems to think of or care for the
night workers. The boys can run lemonade
morning unchecked by the police, who
would be sure to interfere If anybody made
the same amount Of noise right after mid
night. There are thousands of men in Pitts
burg who work all night in the mills, the
telegraph and newspaper offices, and other
branches of business and industry. These
men have to sleep until afternoon under
drawbacks which would seem unsurmounta-
BILE to the ordinary sleeper. Habit is much,
but there is no reason why unnecessary
noise should be permitted at any time when
it interferes with the comfort of those who
work hard while others rest Make the
street sales as quiet as possible, Mr. Chief of
Public Safety. If you do the night toilers
will dream of you. WALTER.

A LOOK AROUND.

WITNESSES did not materialize yester :
day, SO the Maryland Central inquiry went
over for day. It Is public talk that some of
these days there will be some more litigation
among some of the principals in the Baltt-
more deal. When some big operations in
New York get in shape the other side of the
present suits will probably open fire to re-
cover large sums claimed by them to be due
by Gusrave Lindenthal and others.
THERE is probably greater diversity OF
| opinion as to what will be the result in New
York next November, as between Hill and
Cleveland. than any other State can cause.
The cold truth seems to be that Tammany
will be in o measure compelled to support
Cleveland, owing to the influence and money
of the importers who are OF course free
traders. am told that one large firm, which
usually gives as high as $50 900 to the Demo
ocratic Committee, will this year increase
their contribution to $l50,000. This amount
was pledged by them to Whitney and other
Cleveland leaders, contingent upon the
nomination of His ex-Excellency. The loss
of John I. Davenport to the Republican
party in New York City will be severely felt,
for no man was so able to prevent what
may be called needed majorities" in the
downtown Assembly districts.
