MAKING PIrrsBURG KNOWN.

The Chamber of Commerce has just
given gratifying proof of its work in
behalf of Pittsburg by issuing neatly
executed volume giving condensed report
of "Pittsburg's Great Industries, and its
enormous developments of the leading
products of the world" The work is a
condensation of the statistics of our man
ufacturing and commercial interests, with
a statement of our leading municipal
features, all compressed within volume
of GA pages. Of course, in sucha space, the
details of our striking industrial features
cannot be enlarged upon, the purpose being
to present summary statement of Pitts
burg's characteristics for the information
of all into whose hands the volume may
fall The work is illustrated by map of
the city and very creditable engravings Of
of the Court House, Postofice and the
Allegheny Carnegie Library. Every such
publication that aids to create an ade-
quate comprehension of Pittsburg abroad
is benefit to the city, and the Chamber
OF Commerce is to be congratulated on its
work.

A SINGULAR NEGLECT.

Accounts of that recent daring express
robbery on the New York Central convey
singular information with regard to the
care of corporations to protect their ship
ments from robbery. We are told that
a single train set aside for express business
carries as much as a million dollars in
money and jewelry between New York
and Chicago, and that on the trip in ques-
ton, although the cargo was particularly
rich one, left New York with the crew
unarmed.
Ii these statements are correct there is
every reason of accusing the corporations
concerned of criminal neglect of pre-
cautions. To send out a train devoted ex-
clusively to that business is to parade a
prize before the desperadoes of the con-
tinent; to send it out without armed de-
tenders is simply toinvite robbers to inter-
vene and help themselves. With the facts
as they are stated, the wonder is not that
the single robber should have come SO near
success, but that an organized gang of
highwaymen did not take possession Of
the train and carry off the treasure at
their leisure.
1t is to be hoped that the attempted
robbery will arouse the companies from
their false security and that henceforth
all express trains will be accompanied by
a heavily armed guard of the prompt kind
which takes the drop on express roboers.

ENERGETIC CIVIL SERVICE

1t is subject of profound regret to the
believer in pacific politics to observe that
the troubles of setting up delegation in
the interests of Harrison have forced
United States Marshal Leeds, of Philadel-
phia, to proceed to the length of slugging
Mr.. Leeds, it is hardly necessary to state,
represents the strong arm of the admins
tratiOn, more particularly with reference
to its political purposes than as regards
the enforcement of the law. When a
ward heeler who had been intrusted with
the duty of getting in the delegates from
a certain ward failed to deliver the goods,
painful suspicious of his integrity arose.
The United States Marshal promptly vim
dicated the majesty of outraged justice
and the necessity of political discipline by
punching the head of the recreant wire
puller at their next meeting.
This very strenuous variety of uncivil
service is of itself calculated to cause un-
kind comments; but its display of the
functions to which the machinery of the
Department of Justice is devoted is not
more striking than the succeeding state
ment that Mr.. Leeds official head is to be
taken of. II Leeds was to be removed
because he has done nothing in his public
Office but try to run a political machine, it
would be very salutary discipline. But
that is not the ground for the expected
action. On the contrary, he is to be de-
capitated because he has not succeeded in
delivering to the administration the
political goods in expectation of which he
was appointed. If he had produced the
needed delegates Mr.. Leeds wire-pulling
and pugilism would have been alike ac-
ceptable. But as he has failed he must 60
From an administration elected under
the strongest pledges for the divorce of
public patronage from practical politics,
this has decided aroma of rankness.
