HARD TO PROVE.

With the exclamation "Et tu Brute!''
the Philadelphia Record protests against
tho remar,"rof THE DISPATCH attributing
"a of front from its former un-
srving defense of constitutional rights
.gainst corporate aggressions. 1t re-
iterates its declaration that the anthracite
deal is "within the boundary of the law"
and deserves public approval, and it
asks THE DISPATCH to suspend its judg-
ment-
If this means that the Record will under
take to prove from the information within
its reach that the consolidation and leases
known as the Reading deal is legitimate
amalgamation OF railway interests to
create new and competing lines of trans
poTtation, THE DISPATCH will be very
glad to give its evidence due considera-
ton. 1t cannot promise to suspend
judgment till that rather indefinite date.
But when the cotemporary which has
SO long been hand in hand with THE
DISPATCH on the subject of corporate
abuses succeeds in proving that the guild
ing purpose of the anthracite consolida-
ton is not the suppression of all competi-
ton in that industry, The DISPATCH will
be prompt to recognize Its own mistake
and make amends to its cotemporary
But we have little hope that such an
innocuous and iustifable character can be

TINE To DO SOMETHING.

1t is pleasant to be assured by the lead
ers of the House that that body will this
week proceed to get down to business. 1t
is high time for the immense Democratic
majority to do something to demonstrate
its reason for existence. 1t is now three
months since the assembling of Congress,
and the amount of progress accomplished
on public business of importance can only
be stated by a very large cypher. The
Senate has shown little more aptitude
than the House for public business in rati-
flying one treaty of international import
ance, and in grinding out a large number
of public building bills for which there is
no possible excuse except on the basis of
the general grab. This is not very much
better, but it contains an indication that
the Senate can do some business if it has
sufficient provocation.
The inability of the House to get down
to actual work is not confined to any es-
pecial political leadership, but it was
never more marked, and never had so lit
tie excuse as at present. The Fiftieth
Congress did not reach actual work
until the first part of February; but
it had the excuse of the work to be
done in committee on the Mills bill The
Fifty-frst Congress was a little tardier,
but it had the same excuse as regards the
Mckinley bill. The Fifty-second Con-
gress has rounded out full three months
of practical inanition for no reason what
ever except the inability of the Demo-
cratic leaders to agree upon policy and

shown to attach to the transaction. The
Record has too often and too thoroughly
exposed the sham of the threadbare Trust
talk of the benefit to producer and con-
sumer by bringing them together Through
the agency of single intermediary" to
permit us much faith when we find the
same phrases appearing in its columns. 1t
has plainly shown in past years the pur-
pose of former combinations to earn divi-
dends on enormously watered capitaliza-
ton by suppresslng competition and main
tanning rates at double the standard which
yields a profit on the transportation of
bituminous coal to leave any doubt as to
the object of more binding combination.
Especially is the road to any other con-
clusion closed when the first result of the
consolidation is to send the stock of the
most dropsical combination up in the
direction of par, and to produce promise
of dividends on what has been shown in
the columns of our cotemporary to be
purely fictitious stock.
If this were not enough to shut of the
hope it holds out, the appearance, on the
same day with its article, of the PROPOSE
ton by which all individual operators are
to be taken out of the market and the
railroads already excessive share in the
cost of coal is to grow with increased
ratio for every additional 25 cents per ton
squeezed from the producer by its monop-
oily, would put the last nail in the cof1n
of that fragile theory.

CONSERVATIVE SOCIALISM.

The name of Socialists for the political
party creating the present agitation in
Germany suggests to American readers
the idea of wild and impracticables schemes
of legislation. Yet it is fact that the
platform and demands of that party when
analyzed amount to little more than what
would be recognized in this country as
self-evident republican doctrine.
This fact has already been stated in
these columns; but the evident approach
of German affairs to crisis gives imme-
diate importance to the resemblance of
what is considered revolutionary in Ger
many to conservative principles of popular
government in the United States. The
Socialist platform calls for universal
suffrage, popular elections by secret
ballot, wide extension of the principle
of local government, the election of public
officials by the people, national militia
in place of standing army, the decision
of peace or war to rest with the
representatives of the people, the
repeal of laws prohibiting free ex-
preston of opinion or the right OF
association or public meeting, religion to
Church to be independent of the State,
secularization of the public schools, free
administration of justice with judges to be
elected by the people, and legislation for
the protection of the working classes. In
all these reforms the German Socialists
ask nothing that has not been fully estab-
lished in this country.
In some respects the Socialist programme
goes beyond the established practice in
this country Universal suffrage without
regard to sex has been adopted in but one
Territory. The "direct participation of
the people in legislation" refers, we sup
pose, to the submission to popular vote as
is done here with constitutional amend
ments. 1t is proposed to establish
compulsory attendance at the schools
and to furnish free books and free
dinners - the first two being par
tally adopted in this country and the
last unknown here. "Free administration
of Justice" in the German view includes
free legal advice and payment of COM
pensation to persons unjustly accused,
arrested or condemned, which are
novelties that might proftably be
considered The abolition of capital
punishment was adopted in some of our
Ststes generation ago. The "unbroken
rest of thirty-six hours In each week for
every workingman" has been practically
established wherever the Saturday half
holiday is maintained.
In short, the only particulars in which
the alleged Socialist programme goes much
beyond what is familiar politics in this
country are free dinners for school chill
dren, free legal advice in the courts, and
free medical treatment and medicine.
Whether these would constitute radical
gain to society or not may be open to dis
cussion; but no intelligent American will
assert that their adoption would give
any shock to the stability of our institu-
tions
1t is thus made evident that the German
Socialists are not the revolutionary and
impracticable creatures suggested by the
title, but are really standing on tolerably
conservative republican principles.

IRON MEN IN SERIOUS STRAITS,
They Are Losing Money, but the Conditions
Are Such They Can't Stop.

They Are Losing Money, but the Conditions
Are Such They Can't Stop.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 2s.-The Iron Trade Re-
vieto, in its resume of the ore and iron out
look, says:
In some quarters the sales reported up to
date imply very good business, while
others have hardly started as yet in selling
their ore. The non-Bessemer ore is hanging
fire, partly on the ground of unsettled
freights and partly on account of the un-
willingness OF the furnace interests to buy
in the face OF a lifeless market. The ore
men say they are not over-anxious to force
a market at this time, although every day
some one is letting go of his output. AS
whole, it looks very much as If the beggarly
condition of the market had frightened
everybody, and the anticipated improve
ment in all the lines seems to have resolved
itself into a, bull freight market, with every
thing else as low as ever.
The furnace men who during the advance
OF last November, were encouraged to look
for better market, have even stopped COM
planning and are simply working along be-
cause they can still less afford to remain
idle. They have their ore to pay for, some
of them, and they must make and sell iron
course is cheaper than to stop. In some in
stances the fixed charges will not permit
banking; in some there is q fear of losing
trade, and so the consumer gets what iron
much to say that anyone can buy an almost
unlimited Quantity of good pig iron at 81
ton less than 1t costs to make it. To be sure,
this result has the effect of shutting out
competition, but the situation is very seri-
GUS, and may prove disastrous for the
prepared for SO long siege OF poor trade
and Improbable prices.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-A genuine Chicago
nobleman is in the city. He is at the Fifth

plainly furnished room in Chicago, and hav-
ing as little notion that he would to-day be

February 4 that Northedge was finishing
some work on the roof of barn. man
called him from the foot OF the ladder and
congratulated him on being the heir to
large fortune. The modesty and common
sense of the carpenter at once told him that
the man was in the confidence line.
few hours later Northedge realized that
everything he had been told was the truth.
He soon learned that he was not only the
heir to one fortune of 100000, but to another
OF E25O,O0 and, not only that, but he was
also the heir to an old and honored English
title. This second piece of good news came
to him from another source entirely, an
English advocate at Montreal, writing him
that he was one of three heirs to fortune
left by one of his grandfathers IS years ago.
Long before this, Northedge had locked up
his tool chest, given away his overalls, fitted
himself out at fashionable tailor's and
taken rooms at first-class Eotel regardless
Of EXPENSE. Then he had his life insured
for $780, 900 and finally began to look about
for wife. Many of Chicago's fair
danes and misses, dazzled by the stories of
his wealth ana importance, had written
him scented notes telling him of hearts
waiting to be loved, but Sir George did not
want that kind of q wife. He kept up his
search for wife, and it is whispered he has
found his ideal in this city and has como
here to see her and be married before going
abroad to take his first look at his property.

participation in the Worlds Fair. An ap-
plication was some time ago made by the as
sociation for space within the Fair grounds
for the erection of a statue, heroic size, of
Queen Isabella, and also for q pavilion for
the use of the association. The application
was referred to the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds and Chief of Construction for
action. Mrs. Potter Palmer, President of
the Board of Lady Managers, in a communi-
cation upon the subject, heartily recon-
mended the granting of the site for the
statue, which was to be OF bronze and the
work of the famous sculptress, Harriet Hos

Grounds and Buildings Committee and the
Chief of Construction give such favorable
consideration to the application for the site
for the Isabella pavilion as was possible
within the rules of the Exposition applying
to clubs or associations of men: in short,
that the Exposition Company should deal
with this application by the Isabella Associ-
tion as it would deal with any application
from an organization of men.

Johnstown Temperance People Hope for a
Great Reduction in the Number.
JoHNsrowN, Feb. 2s-[SpeciaL 1.-The license
application list for the coming year was
closed to-day. There were 2s5 applicants
this year in this county, or four more than
last year. There are "a retail applicants in
the city, and many of them are now on the
anxious seat owing to a movement on the
part of the temperance people. The license
applications will come up for special hear
ing the third Monday of next March, and
great deal of anxiety is expressed as to the
position Judge Barker will take on the
liquor question. He is a pronounced Repub-
lican, but was elected in this Democratic
country by large majority, and it is con-
ceded that the liquor element was for him
to man.
On the other hand, the temperance people
believe they will succeed in greatly reduc-
ing the number OF licenses granted this year.
Since the great flood, they argue that this
city has been run on the wide-open plan,
all sentiment and even politics being swept
away in the common calamity: and they say
a continuance of this reckless feeling be-
yond its moral limits, is to be attributed to
the over-generous granting of licenses in the
city. The temperance people are turning
their best efforts toward limiting the
licenses granted to at most ten retailers,
principally hotel keepers.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
100 VAST A SCALE.

An investigation of the progress of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, by The DIS
PATCH's special correspondent, brings out
the fact that the work so far as it has gone
is planned on a scale surprising anything
ever yet accomplished in that line. The
buildings are greater, with architectural
ornamentation carved to a degree far be-
yond even the Paris exposition. "When
all is done, ;" says our correspondent, sit
will be the wonder and delight of the
visiting world And having got this
magnificent scale of operations planned
out and the work half done, the enterprise
Is nearly stalled by the fact that the
money raised will not more than half pay
NSor the work to be done
Who is responsible for the wild policy
of going ahead withouG any relation to
resources is an open question. 1t is
probable that the division of responsibility
between the national and local boards has
been productive of much of the difficulty.
1t is certain that the National Com
mission has set the example by fixing
its own salaries on a scale even larger than
that of the Fair. 1t is also clear that the
Government cannot divest itself of por-
ton OF the responsibility from taking part
in the management of the Fair any more
than it can escape the discredit of the
immense scale on which the enterprise has
been begun should it produce fiasco.
What is to be done under these circum-
stances? While Chicago has thrown over
board her pledge that the Government
would not be asked for any aid except the
appropriation for the Government exhibit,
she has kept and exceeded her promise of
raising S5,O0O,0O0 Whether the Govern
ment can fairly put all the responsibility
fer the wild scale of expenditures on the
Chicago management is doubtful That
it cannot escape the disgrace which would
attach to our name abroad if the enter
prise should prove fzzle is beyond dis
pute. The general expression of opinion
throughout the country is that Congress
should authorize an advance sufficient to
insure the creditable completion of the
enterprise.
1t is difficult to find an escape from this
conclusion, although it is not creditable to
the management that this departure from
pledges should be necessary. But
ore making loan or appropriation
Jngress will be justified in seeing that
laries are cut down to a reasonable
sis, and that the superfluous features of
re enterprise are brought within reason

NEEDS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The report of the acting Adjutant Gen
eral of the National Guard of Pennsyl-
vania shows the discipline and organza-
ton of that body to be at high standard.
This is a gratifying evidence that the high
estimate placed upon our State military
organizations is fully justified On the
other hand, the equipment of the troops is
almost as bad as their discipline and spirit
are commendable. Some steps toward i'm
proving it in minor respects are noted.
But great coats that have been in use for
thirteen years, blankets through which
peas can be sifted, and guns of the type
reached at the close of the Civil War are
not what the State requires or the soldiers
of the National Guard deserve.
The next Legislature should take
prompt steps to thoroughly supply these
deficiencies. Since Pennsylvania has a
well-disciplined body of State troops it
can well afford to equip it with modern
material.
