 INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 27-A conference of the Executive Committee of the Inter national Association of State Boards of Health has begun here to take steps to prevent the entrance of cholera into this country. Dr. J. N. Mccormack of Ken lucky, president of the association; Dr. c. O. Probst of Ohio, Dr. H. B. Baker of Michigan and Dr. c. N. Metcalf of Indi- ana are present. The committee decided to appoint what is to be known as the Quarantine Inspection Commission, which will be instructed to visit the quarantine stations of the United States, Canada and Mexico, inspect the stations and report upon their condition to the International Conference of the State Boards of Health.
 The committee began telegraphing over the United States to find men qualified who would accept positions on the com mission, and a communication was re- ceived from the Illinois Health Commits sion suggesting the expediency of memor- ializing President Harrison, praying that he issue a proclamation prohibiting immigration pending the prevalence of Asiatic cholera in Europe, signatures to be secured from boards of Trade and other similar organizations, from Repre- sentatives, Senators, Members of Congress and other influential citizens. To sus- pend immigration, it was added, is to make the prevalence of cholera in Amer ica impossible.

A FALSE POLICY.

The statement that the Worlds Fair
management has been granting exclusive
privileges in the line of exhibiting the
processes of manufacturing glassware and
selling it, of transporting passengers to the
Fair by boat, of exhibiting lapidary proc
esses, and so on, is one that, unless denied
or explained, will have a most damaging
effect on that enterprise.
1t is simply stupidity to take away the
universal character of an exhibit like that
of the glass industry by giving single
firm exclusive privileges 1t is even pos
sible to raise the question whether under
the act of Congress providing for an ex-
hibit of industries such plan does not so
destroy the public character of the exhibit
as to be beyond the power of the board
The provision that the FAIR gets twenty
per cent of the gross receipts in return for
these privileges is the attraction for the
management; but that indicates that the
grantees of the privileges are going to
make much larger percentage of profit
Will the knowledge that the visitors to the
Fair are to be subject to the phlebotomy
necessary to make these monopolies pro-
fitable attract or discourage attendance?
The Worlds Fair management should
promptly correct these false steps, if they
have been taken. In the meantime Pitts
burg manufacturers should take prompt
measures to forestall any more such ex-
elusive grants in the manufacturing line
by general applications for space to ex-
hibit their products and processes of man.

PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY MAY Is. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
TIN PLATE TRUTHS.

In our local columns to-day will be
found an interview with three Welshmen
who are looking around in this country for
a place to resume the manufacture of tin
plate which the Mckinley bill forced them
to relinquish at home. The statements
are of special value because they are made
against inclination. Mr.. Owen regrets
that he should have to leave the old coun-
Try, but asserts that the tariff on tin plate
demands that departure He confesses
himself Democrat, and in the same
breath emphatically declares that Protec-
ton is the only policy for this country.
He wishes that Wales could continue to
compete with American manufacturers,
but confesses that the tariff is all that is
needed, with the advantages of cheap fuel,
capital, and energy, to insure the absolute
supremacy of the American made article
The testimony of men such as these, who
know the details necessary TO insure the
success of tin-plate making, should be
enough once and for all to silence those
who seek to smother the industry under
false ridicule in order to manufacture a
party cry. The manufacture of tin plate
is already well established, and under a
protective policy its growth will rapidly
insure Americas independence of foreign
producers for its supply of this necessary.

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.

The garbage question is an important
one for every large city, and it is given
especial pertinence for Pittsburg by the
pending municipal measures concerning
it. A careful consideration of the means
to be adopted for its collection appears in
another column, written by the head of
the Ladies' Health Association, who has
given this subject careful study.
The facts and conclusions given in that
contribution speak for themselves so
clearly that they need not be gone over
here. 1t is pertinent to point out that in
a matter affecting on the one hand the
health of the entire population, and on
the other the taxation, direct or indirect,
of every householder, no treatment is
proper except that which secures the
doing of the work in the most thorough
and economical manner. The subject is
eminently one in which it is true that the
best is the cheapest 1t would be the
worst economy to let any consideration of
cost interfere with the complete removal
of garbage; yet the fact that economy
might be subserved while thoroughness is
secured is strikingly illustrated by the
comparison of cost per capita in nineteen
American cities with the high charges pre-
vailing in Pittsburg to-day.
1t is extremely pertinent to say that no
municipal proposition for the collection of
garbage can be approved which will either
create a nuisance or impose burdensome
charges on the citizens.

PLEA FOR LOCAL HISTORY.

The Historical Society of Western Penn
sylvania issues a stirring appeal for a
greater support from Pittsburgers than it
has hitherto received. The objects of the
society are such as should insure hearty
response to IFS call for aid. Pittsburg's
surroundings are peculiarly rich in histor-
ical associations, and yet its inhabitants
for the most part know little thereof.
Surely there should be public spirit enough
to encourage and maintain society whose
object is to delve in the annals of the past.
to make known the results of the research.
and to preserve the records of the stirring
times of old.
Our city is rapidly undergoing changes
which obliterate ancient landmarks. Man.
ufacturing industries are changing the
very surface of the earth, and old scenes
take on new aspects, and all too little is
done to record the alterations. Pittsburg-
ers are too much absorbed in their own
private affairs, and they and their CITY
would alike benefit by an extension of
their business-bounded horizon. The
founders of this city played manly part
in the history of the nation, and its en-
virons were scenes of many memorable
events And it is due from the folk of
to-day that they should learn to whom
they owe their city's foundation, and
whereon that foundation was laid.

PREPARING THE SEAL CASE.
Tho Presidents Appointees in the Boring
Sea Controversy willing to Serve.

cca ~ oofNO.
WASHINGTON, May I.-Justice Harlan, of
the United States Supreme Court, and Sen
ator Morgan, of Alabama, who have been
selected by the President as arbitrators in
the Bering sea controversy, have each ac-
cepted the appointment. Justice Harlan
said this afternoon that his plans had not
yet been fixed, but that he would probably
go abroad about the latter part of July.
The Justice was asked if it would not be
September before the Bering Sea Arbitra-
tion Commission would meet He replied
that he thought it would be later than That.
Justice Harlan was on the floor of the Sem
ate for nearly an hour this afternoon, and
spent some time in conversation with Sem
ator Morgan.

Great Britain and the United States under

ment after the exchange of ratifcatiOns in
which to preDare Its case and state the
grounds on which it rests its position in the

clude settlement OF the controversy is

a DELIBERATE CHOICE.

The bill introduced by Senator Chand-
Ter yesterday, to extend to Austin Corbin s
steamship company the privileges granted
in the case of the City of Paris and the
City of New York, indicates the course
that is being taken in this matter of steam
ship registry. The first bill extended its
privilege under general terms, with re-
strictions as to the character and circum-
stances of the steamers admitted to regis
try, which confined its operation to a
special case. The second bill makes no
secret of its character of special legsla-
ton by naming Mr.. Austin Corbin and
the American Steamship Company as the
beneficiary of the bill.
1t would be the easiest matter in the
world to draw up bill that would be ap-
plicable to all people alike and give every
one an equal chance. Therefore the re-
sort to special legislation looks like de-
hberate choice in favor of jobbery and

CORRUPTION AND CURES.

The question of corruption in elections
has recently produced two contributions
to the general literature of the subject.
One is an address by Prof. McCook to the
Hartford Board OF Trade, in which the
startling assertion is made that an in
vestigation in fourteen average towns of
Connecticut shows one-sixth of the voters
to be purchasable, and arrives at the opin-
ion that %, 600 of the 166, 600 votes in Con-
necticut can be bought. The evidence for
this statement is not given. The remedy
proposed is disfranchisement for the
criminal class, especially the buyers and
sellers of votes. The New York Post calls
this radical" but, even supposing that
there was any guarantee of the conviction
of politicians who bought votes and the
ignorant and depraved people who sell
themselves, it is really mild punish
ment
The other proposition is one pending
before the Massachusetts, Legislature ''to
prevent corrupt practices in elections. I"
1t adopts the latest fashion of requiring
reports of expenditure by either candi-
dates or political committees, with close
provisions as to the manner in which
either class is to regulate its disbursements
and the method of keeping accounts of
them. 1t is hardly necessary to go into
details because, like all similar measures,
the act overlooks the probable supposition
that the law-breaking class will secretly
violate its provisions. The buyers and
sellers of votes are Iaw-breakers. They
Systematically conceal their operations,
where all respect for the law is not wholly
cast aside What is to prevent any candi-
date or political committee of this class
from making reports of expenditures with
the illegitimate items strictly omitted, and

NOT ONE CENT FOR CHARITY.
The Court Gives Millionaire Males Money
All to the Heirs-at-LaW.

TRENTON, N. j.. May T.-[SpeciaA 1.-The rig
idity of the New Jersey law with respect to
the making of wills was amply illustrated to-
day by the rejection by the Court of
Chancery of the last will and testament of
Job Male who died in Plaintield a few years
ago, leaving an estate valued at several mill
ion dollars On his deathbed Male sent for
his lawyer, Craig A. Marsh, and directed him
to draw the will, giving specific instructions
relative to the provisions: The lawyer drew
the will and read it to the dying man, who
assented to all its provisions, but when the
attestation clause was added Male was un-
conscious; his signature could not be OBJ
tanned.
AT once the court was asked to establish
the testament as noncupative will, and, in
the opinion read by Chancellor McGili to-
day, he holds that this cannot be done be-
cause the testator did not declare it to be
his intention to execute such O will, and be-
cause he has not complied with the law for
the yalidation of such wills. Males millions,
represented by real estate, now go to the
heirs-at-law, ana all the special bequests, in
cluding those for charity, are void. The
Plainfield Public Library thus loses a valu-
able building and three lots, besides the
bric-a- Lrac known as the Schooniver col.
lection.
