RENEWED VITALITY OF LAW.

It is announced that within the next
two weeks the prosecution of the million
aire Chicago beef packer, G. F. Swift, for
violations of the Interstate commerce
law will be commenced. Hitherto con-
victions under this law have been so
scarce and its evasions and violations so
plentiful that weary public has almost
become reconciled to the idea that it is a
dead letter. The variance between the
spirit of the Interstate commerce act and
its literal Interpretation has been so
marked as to prove serious hindrance to
its beneficence. And the inability of
prosecutors to compel guilty parties to
give evidence liable to incriminate them
even if guaranteed freedom from conse-
uuent penalties-has been grave stum-
bling block in the way of the laws en-
forcement.
1t has even been suggested that there
have been determinations in the bringing
of charges against the people discriminate
ing illegally in freight rates, such as to
favor the big offenders and bring up the
little ones with short hand. The present
easel is certainly open to no such insinuation.
There will be general jubilation among
honest, law-abiding shippers if the charge
be brought home, and stiff penalty i'm
posed. The prosecution should be pushed
with vigor and no effort neglected to make
this law less abortive in its practical re-
suits than it has been heretofore.

pected that as public institution grows
older its running expenses should be re-
duced by the smoothness of work.
ing produced by increased familiar
ity. And these figures support
that expectation. Furthermore, the
standard of ability among the men avail
able for office must vary from time to
time. Even accepting the Doctors argu-
ments, and carrying them to logical con-
cluslon, it is not quite evident how the
Republican cause would have been helped
by an indication that Of a non-par-
tisan, a Republican and Democratic ad-
ministration, the last was conducted with
the least expense.
But-setting aside the particular in
stance under discussion and leaving the
practical politicians to form their own
conclusions therefrom and make what use
of it they choose-looking simply at the
question in its broadest aspect, no citizen
of average intelligence and no man OF
business instinct can seriously maintain
that the treatment of public offices purely
and simply as reward for party political
services is system likely to be so condu-
Give to that efficiency and integrity in the
discharge of public business which is alb
solutely essential to maximum of econ
omy.
Politicians may use the spoils system
while they can, but sooner or later the
people will insist upon its displacement by
the better plan.

FoREwARNED AND FoREARMED.

The decision of the Treasury Depart
ment to maintain proper amount OF
vigilance for the exclusion of cholera from
this country is manifestly wise. With a
partial continuance of the precautions
hastily adopted when danger from the
disease was at its height, return to the
complete detention system then in vogue
will be less difficult than if the whole az
rangement were allowed to lapse.
Furthermore, there is still warrant for
more than the amount of care usually de-
voted to immigrants by medical inspectors
at the ports. There is every probability
that spring will witness the return
of cholera in the districts recently
ravaged Past experience demonstra-
ted the worthlessness OF foreign
official announcements with regard to the
presence of the disease. No faith should
be placed by this country in anything but
its own preventive and defensive meas
ures. While defensive inspection should
be continued at the ports, scrupulous
cleanliness should be practiced as pre-
ventive in the interior of the country. Let
there be no accumulations of filth or garb-
age during the winter which, with the
breaking of the frost, would harbor and
encourage the spread Of any disease germs
that might secure their admittance to this
land

PITTSBURG DOES GROW.

From the nature of the topography of
Pittsburg it is evident that its business
heart will remain where it is, though
gradually extending its area. But with
the residential and social districts the case
is otherwise. On all sides of the city new
houses are springing up, and new centers
of social intercourse being formed. The
undertaking for the building of new
hotel, as published in THE DISPATCH of
yesterday, and the inception of plans for
the construction of theater as told of in
to-day's issue are striking indications of
the rapid growth of the East End
When the Carnegie Library and Music
Hall has been built this district will be
largely self-contained from an evening
amusement point of view, and it is to be
expected that these places will be followed
by others of like kind as the outskirts
draw more and more Of the residents from
the city. 1t is such evidences Of growth
as these that give slight indication of the
city's possibilities for the future. And
that future will be comparatively far or
near as the citizens of Pittsburg unite to-
gether for municipal enterprises with
somewhat of the energy which is at pres
ent devoted almost exclusively to matters
of private business

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

On the evening of the twenty-eighth
instant the University Extension Society
is to meet in the Wood Street Presbyterian
Church. 1t should be a crowded assem-
bly,, for the results of the meeting will
mean great deal to this city. Prominent
professors from all over the State are to
be present to explain the objects of the
society. Briefly stated, the objects are to
obtain some of the advantages of college
training Tor those who have been barred
from college course, or desire to increase
in some branch or other the knowledge
obtained thereby. There is an immense
field for such an undertaking in Pittsburg,
and it should meet with the heartiest sup
port
Night classes and lectures throughout
the winter under well-qualiied instructors
should prove great boon to this city. In
England the system has done and con-
nnues to do an increasingly important
work in the popularization of science.
Self-instruction by means of text books is
well enough in its way. But study under
competent instructor is far better plan
wherever it is available. The esprit de
corps of class and the inspiration to
study derived from oral instruction are
advantages to be greatly priced. There
are thousands in Pittsburg who can profit
by the new enterprise, and its Inauguration
should be greeted with an enthusiastic
welcome

PTTrsBURG SOME DAY.

The great improvements on the Penn
sylvania Railroad-of which the compile
ton of four tracks from Philadelphia to
Altoona by March Is is the leading feature
are an indication that sooner or later
Pittsburg will be beneficiary. 1t is an
nounced in fact that the complete four
track road is to be rapidly pushed through
to this city, and that the work in that di-
rection is we'll under way. When all the
company's lines between New York and
Pittsburg have been improved to the ut
most, force of habit will still cry for more
Improvement, and then the local reforms
so often promised and so long postponed
can hardly fail of fulfillment
In those days Pittsburg will have new
station to replace the inconvenient and in
adequate temporary" structure which is
now known as the Union Depot.
But hope deferred maketh the
heart sick, and residents of
Pittsburg have become so accustomed to
disappointment in this matter that they
are inclined TO have done with expecta-
ton. Some fine day, perhaps, the first
consideration of the railroad companies
will be the convenience of their best
patrons. When that millennial era arrives
freight discrimination against Pittsburg
will cease, and all things else will be as
they should.

GOOD ROADS AND EQUAL TAXES
The Most Important Questions Discussed
by the National Grange.

The Most Important Questions Discussed
by the National Grange.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. T-At the National
Grange sessions to-day reports of officers
were heard. In his report Mortimer White
head, lecturer, said that among the meas
ures which he found most generally dis
cUssed and asked for at this time in the
oranges of the country we're rural free mail
delivery, postal telegraph and telephone
and Government ownership and control of
the same in the interest of quicker dis
semination of news,market reports, weather
forecasts, etc., to the advancement of agri-
culture.
The road question was discussed, the lee
turer taking the ground that while farmers
admitted the need and advantage of better
roads they should first insist upon an equal.
iZation of taxes, by which farmers would
not be called upon to pay more than their
fair share of the expense OF building and
sustaining better road system. In allud-
ing to the depressed condition OF agricul-
ture the speaker said that the farmers are
studying the question of how to pay their
debts and support their families on 50cent
wheat and 6.cent cotton. The duty of the
grange is to guide the present unrest into
healthy and saie channels.
Important reports being disposed Of nu-
merous resolutions were introduced, the
principal ones being by Mr.. CHARTERS, of
Virginia, urging the passage OF the Paddock
pure food bill and a creation of road di-
vision in the Department of Agriculture,
and by MIR. knotr, of West Virginia, indors-
ing Secretary Rusk's work.

Father Sherman Arouses the Ire OF Old

ST. LOUIS, Nov. .H.-The Society of the Army
of the Tennessee has just been called to
order. Rev. Thomes Z. Sherman was in
vited to address the meeting. The clergy
man turned his remarks to the monument
which the family is providing for the tomb
of the dead General. In voice sad, but
passionately indignant, he said:
Just about the time the work was fin
ished strike occurred in the granite quar-
ries in the East, and the finished monument
stands there now, and there is no power i'll
this country, in State or nation, to move it
move that monument from the hands of
the union. They will not consent to let US
have it moved. and 1 only know one way to
get it-and that is to organize one of his old
regiments and go there and take it by force.
lApplause1 There is q power there even
higher and stronger than the power you con-
quered, and our generation has yet To meet
the problem of conQuering, or at least sub
DUNG to law, that great power"
There was q dead silence for moment as
the speaker concluded, and then there was
O burst of applause which swelled into
military cheer for the spirited son Of the old
commander. The reunion ended in a ban.
quet, the leading toast of which was a eulogy
of Lincoln and Grant by General d. B. Hen.
derson, of Iowa.
