PITTsBURG. SUNDAY. MAY % 1892.
WHICH IS THE TRUTH?

The hearing in the equity suit of the in
dependent contractors against the men,
berS Of the Builders Exchange yesterday,
brought out two radically differing state
ments. The question which of these state
ments is true determines the legality or
illegality of the acts of the Exchange.
On the part Of the complainants, affida-
wits are made of various cases in which,
it IS stated, refusalS to furnish materials
were based clearly and avowedly on the
fact that the compiainants were not men,
beTs of the Exchange. On the other hand,
respondents reply with affidavits to the
effect that the Exchange does not require
members TO refuse material to outsiders,
and that sales are made to buyers outside
the Exchange.
The decision of the suit thus resolves
itself down TO the question which of these
statements is correct But. as public
matter, there is another thing to be said.
The DISPATCH has frequently pointed out
10 the members of the Builders Exchange
that if they were not, as reported, oper-
ating a combination to restrict the natural
right Of every citizen to buy material they
should take an early opportunity to cor
rect these reports. Their answer shows
that they now recognize that such boy
colt as they were credited with maintain
ing cannot be justified before the law.
Yet the fact is that they have for some
tine permitted publications, apparently
on their authority, to the effect that they
were enforcing exactly that boycott, to
stand without the slightest contradiction
If these reports were untrue they should
have been authoritatively and emphatically
denied long ago. The question cannot fail
TO suggest itself whether the Exchange
permitted them to stand in order to gain
the lever of a reputation for enforcing its
orders by Illegal means, or whether the
case is misrepreSen in their answer be-
fore the courts.

TIE CHANGE OF HATToN

The attitude taken yesterday by ex.
Postmaster General Frank Hatton in his
Washington paper in regard to the ambi-
ton Of Secretary Blaine and his probable
willingness to accept an unanimous nom-
ination is remarkable for two reasons.
In the first place it indicates desire to
encourage the candidacy of Mr.. Blaine
This is in striking variance with the bitter
attacks made by Mr.. Hatton's paper on
the Secretary during the high tide of the
Chilean imbroglio. At that time Mr..
Blaine was charged with being tool of
eX-MayOr Grace and the nitrate ring and a
direct snub was given to any sort of
Blaine boom whatever
Of late Mr.. Hatton has turned against
Mr.. Harrison and has endeavored to CONCEAL
his IeineSS still further There was time
when Mr.. Hatton's Post was regarded as the
organ of the Administration and it was
even charged that the President smote the
Secretary through this medium. Mr..
Hatton as a gymnast has succeeded Nh.
uatton as jeremiah.
All this is significant, because as poll
tician the Washington editor is admittedly
shrewd and well-informed and his closest
friends are still sufficiently near to Presi-
dent Harrison to be considered his ablest
champions in the denomination contest.

CHAIRMAN CLARKsoN is serene amid alarms
He is willing to bet that the foremost hoss

CHAIRMAN CLARKsoN does not speak as one

Harrison at Minneapolis. Mr.. Clarkson is
talking with some caution to the reporters
in these trying times, but as friend of Har-
rison there are tears in his voice.-Ne,o York

CHAIRMAN CLARKsoN, of the Republican
National Committee, has been closeted for
several days with General Russell A. Alger
at Detroit. This means that General James
S. means to either get appointment or Doodle

Mr.. CLARKsoN sarcastically complains that
he has to read the newspapers all the timo
to keep fairly posted about the anti-Harri-
son conspirac acies in which lie is engaged. 1t
might simplify matters and save time for
Mr.. Clarkson to seek his information from
Mr.. John c. New.-PeoviG Enquirer.
GENERAL j. S. GARRISON informs the Re
cordcr that while President Harrison would
make an excellent candidate for the Presi-
dency Mr.. Blaine would make better one,
but that General Clarkson has a personal
candidate who is better than either Harri-
son or Blaine or anybody else. Don't keep

CENSUS REVELATIONS.

Yesterdays proceedings before the Gen.
sus Investigating Committee continued
the revelation of mismanagementt that
has rendered the statistics gathered ut
terly unreliable. 1t is bad enough that
public money should be thrown away
wholesale in an effort to extract informa-
ton on useless subjects owing to for
eigner's ignorance. 1t is worse still that
the tactics used to manufacture statistics
should be shown to be such as to remove
all possibility of faith therein.
The census under proper administration
would have been an invaluable source Of
information on matters of national i'm
portance. Under the conditions which
are being exposed more clearly every day
it has been made simply an outlay for the
waste of national funds, and Its results
are fit for nothing but the waste basket.
The whole performance is discredit not
only to those directly responsible, but to
the nation which permitted it.

scholastic atmosphere of the Stanford UNI
versity is Of unique composition or else
that there is a crying need for moral as
well as mental discipline among the youth
of California.
From the fact that the faculty are re-
ported to be Mortified at this outbreak, we
are permitted to infer that it is the latter.
1t is to be hoped that the educators will
not rest satisfied with being Mortified. If
these half-fledged destroyers of the social
status had been in the hands of the edu-
Gators of the past generation, they would
shortly have perceived the wisdom OF
humility with regard to their own omnis-
cience.

UNDERGRADUATE oMNIsc1ENcE.

Owing either to the er-stimulating in
f1uences of Senator Leland Stanford's i'm
mense University in California, or to the
population of the Pacific coast, the stu
dents of that seat of learning are making
themselves conspicuous. Not content
with the classic example of the Eastern
institutions in giving exclusive glory to
physical culture, they have plunged into
social ethics, and have set out to overturn
religion, abolish marriage, and do away
with any such medieval and effete senti-
ment as respect for elders.
This is, at least, the inference to be
drawn from the contents of a recent Uni
versity magazine which published for the
delectation of the undergraduate eye a
photogravure of the exceedingly French
picture of Turkish Pasha who is making
purchases for his harem. In this organ of
juvenile scholasticism we are informed,
on the subject of religion, that it sis a
barbaric institution revised to date"
and is not now 'even orna-
mental" "The intelligent, we'll
balanced young people of to-day"
the youthful dogmatist goes on to say,
under the impression that he is
speaking of himself, ''are not religious;
they are beyond it." Having thus given
religion its coup de grace he proceeds to
wipe out marriage. We are informed that
''f1rst love is children's disease" and that
'the tragedies of children change the soul
in degree of depth of SOUL" After this,
but one more superstition remains to be
wiped out, which is done as follows: "We
respect our elders most when we are
young and least resemble them; we re-
spect them least when we are older and
more like them"
The freshman who produced this yawp
justified his title. After he reaches the
rank of 'fwise fool" in the second year of
college life, we may hope for some mitiga-
ton of his vernal bumptiousness; and
lurking doubt may appear III his pro-
nouncement on social institutions whether
he knows so much more than all the rest
of the world put together. The display of
callow 'dogmatism indicates that either the

and Dangerous.
Philadelphia Times.l
When the poet declared that the very walls
have ears he was taking q poetic license,
but modern science has made 1t possible not
only for walls to have ears to hear, but
tongues to speak. Already it is said the
Russian Government has been making in
quiries of Berlin firm in regard to invisi-
BILE microphones suitable for prison cells, to
record the utterances OF occupants. If this
invention can be made available it will
prove a terrible blow to Anarchy. The An
archist can endure Imprisonment with
show of endurance, but not to be able to
talk except in the hearing OF the tell-tale
microphone will be q greater hardship than
the pains OF Siberia.
The advantages of the microphone no
doubt will be very great, both in and apart
from its invisible uses. 1t may be used as
record of important conversations without
the interposition of either stenographero or
typewriter, for as a matter OF course it goes
far beyond the present availability OF the
.phonograDh. Where exact recollection OF
discussions and agreements becomes neces-
sary, it will be indispensable. But 1t will in
evitably bring woes as well as uses. Papa
can place 1t behind the sofa in the parlor,
and read all the sweet nothings of George
Augustus and dear Clara in the morning. In
q little time 1t may make talkative peoples
tongues terror to their owners. As do
mestic spy, 1t can be made as efficient as it
will be dangerous. Indeed, 1t is not impos-
siDe that this new device will turn the
world topsv.turvy. 1t is evident that new
danger confronts humanity, and the only
possible way to guard against the babbling
of this talk recorder is to compel every mi
crophone to belicensed as a speak-easy.

AN UNwARRANTABLE PROPOSITION

Governor Flower, of New York, has
signed a bill providing that men drafted
for service in time of war shall be entitled
to repayment of the money they ex-
pended in procuring substitutes This
proposition is contrary to public policy
and should receive universal condemna-
tion.
Every impartial observer of the war
knows that the policy of allowing men of
means to hire substitutes was bad one.
A large share of the recruits thus obtained
was of low character, and it was the testi-
mony of every camp of instruction that
the reinforcements obtained after this
provision went into effect deprecated
fifty per cent in reliability. Beyond that
the principle was of a vicious character.
1t meant simply that persons of means
enough to hire substitutes should be per-
mitted to escape the duty of military
service in defense of the country which
ought to be imposed on all alike. 1t was
recognized here at the close of the war, as
it is recognized in every country which
depends on conscription for efficient mill
tary organization, that there should be
no purchase of exemption from military
duty.
But the viciousness Of that policy is in
creased ten-fold by the proposition that
the men who purchased this exemption
shall now receive their money back. The
money was not expended for public bene-
fit. 1t was paid to relieve the payers from
the duty imposed on them of defending
the Government in its time of need. That
they could escape that duty by the pay
ment of money was an obnoxious class
privilege; that they should get back the
money paid for their own benefit would
be simply a job. 1t is reported that Gov
ernor Flower signed this bill in pursuance
of an ante-election bargain by which he
got the votes of $1,000 of the people bene-
fitted by it. If this is true it is an arrant
case Of purchasing votes with public
money.
