AN INTERNATIONAL WARNING.

AS a general rule the exposure of the
dirty linen in divorce courts is to be
deprecated; but the mutual recriminations
in the De Steuers divorce suit, which is
attaining the rank of a national scandal,
convey a healthy warning to young
women of wealth in this country who are
deluded by the vulgar ambition of marry
ing foreign title. 1t is clear enough from
this case that an investment of that sort is
the worst that can be made by an Ameri-
can heiress. The position of the wife of
a foreign nobieman, particularly if she
comes from a sphere looked down upon
by the nobility, is at the best one of
humiliation. 1t is natural to suppose that
the wife of a diplomatist holding impor-
tant posts in Europe would have an op-
portunity to view life from as favorable
standpoint as any one; but the disclosures
of the De Steuers menage indicate that
when any woman ties herself to the old
world aristocracy she forfeits the sover-
eighty given to her sex in the society of
this republic.
American girls should learn wisdom by
the experience of their predecessors in in
ternational matches. If they choose to
throw their money into the ocean they
will be much wiser than to surrender it
and themselves to the fortune hunting
bearers of empty titles.

cAssATT,s IMPROVED VISION

1t is satisfactory to observe that Mr. A.
J. .Cassatt has become aroused to the dan
gers involved in erecting corporate COM
binations whose magnitude overshadows
alike the public interest, the provisions of
fundamental law and the DEGREES of the
courts Mr.. Cassatt's denunciation of the
"audacious and impudent defiance of the
law and the Constitution of Pennsvl-
vaflia," and his indignation at the creation
of a monopoly of the anthracite coal bust
ness, is welcome reinforcement to those
who have been calling the public attention
to these dangerous tendencies for years
past. His call upon Governor Pattison to
take the same steps against this consolida-
ton as in the South Penn Railroad, is an
appeal TO that official from source that
cannot be disregarded, involving, as it
does, practical Endorsement Of the Gov
ernor's course in the former case.
In these assertions Mr. Cassatt takes
position on the solid foundation of bottom
rock facts The consolidation of anthra-
cite lines is an evasion of the Constitution
of Pennsylvania, which, added to the an
nounced purpose Of wiping out in
dividual enterprise in the anthracite
coal business, is fully as defiant as
the South Penn DEAL The claim of the
Reading counsel that the consolidated
roads are not competing because they
transport mainly the coal of different
bases is an equivalent to President Rob-
erts' famous plea that the South Penn was
not competing road on account of its
grades, or Mr.. Depew's equally profound
epigram that the same line was not CON-
peting one because it was only "a lot of
holes in the ground" The fact that the
anthracite consolidation is intended to
suppress competition is not denied, except
as legal fiction, and the purpose of the
monopoly is plainly indicated by the fact
that the immense mass of water known
as Reading stock has leaped up to 30 dur
ing the past few days by virtue of the
promise of dividend next year on its
dropsical total.
Nevertheless Mr.. Cassatts perfectly ac-

OVERGROwN ESTIMATES.

Elsewhere this morning, The DISPATCH
brings to notice some of the larger prob
lens which should find recognition in city
government, but do not, viz, the concep-
tion and encouragement of broad plans for
adding in every possible way to the local
manufacturing and mercantile interests.
That is a question seldom thought about in
the slightest degree on the eve of city
elections-yet it should be of great impor-
tance
1t is the money which the taxpayer has
10 pay out which gets exclusive attention
not the money that might be brought in.
This sensitiveness of the pocket to drafts
has reused a very general protest this
year against an increase of city expenses
over the extremely liberal appropriations
Of last year. In the face of such pro-
nOunced expressions Councils cannot es-
cape a free and close cutting of the Chiefs
estimates. At the polls on Tuesday this
can he further ensured by supporting can
didates pledged to limiting the appropria-
tiOns TO last years aggregate.
In this connection it is curious to note a
quibble over a thing of no importance.
One Of our cotemporaries takes exception
to the popular demand for lower mill
age this year, on the plea that the thing to
do is TO cut down the appropriations
which determine the millage Nobody
disputes that 1t should not be necessary
TO explain that if the millage is to be low
cred the cutting of the Chiefs estimates
is the way to lower it.

PITTsBURe. SUNDAY. FEBRUARY Il.
BECOME ALEApING ISSUE.

Congressman Dalzell pleased everybody
immensely when at the Press Club ban
quet in this city couple of weeks ago, he
made his admirable speech on the coming
issue. the improvement of the national
WATERWAYS and the construction of the
great canal from the Ohio to the lakes
At Lancaster on Friday night he proved
that his heart was deeply in this subject,
and that the Pittsburg address was not
merely for home consumption or to tickle
a local feeling. He spoke forcibly and
well to the Lancastrians on the importance
of improving the waterways and building
the canal, showing that it affected greatly
national and State as well as local in
terests.
The value of having a man of Mr.. Dal-
zell's ability, filled with enthusiasm by an
intelligent grasp of this question, will soon
be seen. He has measured its importance,
so often set forth in these columns; and
before the present session of Congress is
over other statesmen at Washington will
be found taking greater interest in the
waterways question than a little while
ago they, themselves thought possible.
Western PENNSYLVANIA with the neigh
boring States Of Ohio and West Virginia,
have substantial reason TO feel gratified
that projects which, If carried out, will
make this region the busiest, most popu-
lous and most prosperous on the continent,
if not ultimately on the globe, have at last
enlisted the sort of ability and enthusiasm
which are needed TO carry great projects

In little store on n quiet street
Away from the tramp of hurrying feet.

The rich mans daughter the fair debutante,
Something you'n find for one and all,
From the mistress down to the servants hall.
There's the valentine edged with dainty lace
In each school girls collection it has place
Containing sentiment about eyes of blue
And hoping their owner Is faithful ard true.
There's the valentine painted on silk or satin,
With Cupid's crest and motto in Latin.
Inside, heart of rose-colored hue
Pierced by arrow some artist drew.
Inclosed in a box and done up with care,
This is addressed TO ''Ye ladye faire"
All! ten years hence, and this Valentines Day
Will have passed from your memory quite away;
Unless, perchance. you backward turn,
To the smouldering ashes in friendships urn;
And for the sake of the past try and fan to flame
The first dream of love that Ger you came.
And your eyes may be fun of unshed tears,
As through the mist OF forgotten years.
You see again your ideal, now dead.
Whose ephemeral beauties shed
A halo OF romance around the shrine
Where Cupid laid his Valentine.

THE EMINNE,PoLIs ACCOMMODATIONS.


The investigation of the prospects of
the accommodations to be offered by Min
neapolis to the visitors at the Republican
National Convention, given elsewhere,
presents rather interesting picture of the
rising city of the. Northwest. The opin-
ions presented are somewhat marked with
the Eastern preconceptions, as Is shown
by the apparent criticism of Minneapolis
for presenting the contrast of aspiring
business architecture with the cottage
residences of thousand villages. The
latter feature, to an impartial observation,
would suggest that the Western style of
city building affords remarkable advan-
tage over the closely packed blocks of
residences, flats and tenements of the
older Eastern cities.
As to the accommodations offered by
Minneapolis to its Republican visitors in
June, the report is that $4,000 people can
be accommodated comfortably, of whom
10000 will be obliged to accept what our
correspondent, from the Eastern stand
point, calls ''the campmeeting style" of
being taken in the private homes of
Minneapolis citizens. 1t is a fair pre-
diction, however, that the visitors
who are entertained on the so-called camp
meeting plan will be the lucky ones. 1t
needs no son of prophet to foresee that
the man who is entertained at the private
residence of Minneapolis citizen anx-
ious to boom his city will discover
marked superiority over the cot bedstead
plan of accommodations which has char
acterized conventions in larger cities
Whether the entertainer, after he has
titilated the soul of the average politician
from New York or Louisiana, will consid-
er that the game was worth the candle is
subject more open to debate.

SILVER MoNoMEraLLIsM.

The report of the Bland free coinage
bill, together with the motions voted down
in committee before it was carried, fully
defines the issue to be placed before the
people. 1t commits the supporters of that
measure to the proposition that the unit
Of values shall be lowered to about IS
cents on the present dollar This is clearly
shown by the voting down of two PROPOSE
tiOnS made as substitute for the uncon-
ditiOnal free coinage report.
There are just two ways in which there
is possibility of securing the circulation
OF silver under free coinage at a parity
with gold One is to secure an interna-
tional agreement by which the silver will
circulate everywhere at a uniform ratio;
the other is to coin silver dollar equal in
bullion value 20 the golden. Both propo-
sitiOns, one for an international conference
and the other for silver dollar of largely
increased weight, were submitted to a vote
in committee and defeated, after which
she free coinage bill was recommended.
This puts the supporters of tine bill
squareiy on the platform OF scaling down
the silver dollar % per cent. The chief
result of such movement will be simplyto
take away one-fourth of the claim of every
creditor in tie land and make a present
OF it to the debtor. One view of the case
which appeals to the instinct of the dema
gogue is that such a scaling down of debts
will be for the benefit Of ordinary people;
bat that is a shallow and egregions blum
der. The effect of this change would be
TO reduce in purchasing power every saw
ings bank deposit in the country, to take
away from the small investors In corporate
bonds one-fourth their property and give
it to the corporation.
A party which commits itself to such
proposition is storing up its own destruc-
