MILWAUKEE suffered terrible loss by
fire last night, and the suffering and dest1
tuition recalled the awful tribulatton which
Chicago underwent fwenty-one years ago.
There is not much difference between the
size Of Milwaukee now and that of CHICAGO
in 1871. But the greater abundance and EN-
cheney of fire apparatus to-day warrants the
hope TINT the conflagration may be stopped
far short of the total destruction of the city.
At the time Of writing, details as to damage
done, lives lost and tho origin and course OF
the fire have not been received. 1t Is pleas
ing to note the readiness with which Chicago
came to aid its neighbor, and it Is certain
that no effort will be spared all over the
country to relieve the distress of the sur
vivors. There is always the consolation for
such dire calamities as this that the Amer1-
can spirit of brotherhood and vigorous en-
terprise renders them far less disastrous
here than they would be in any other coun-
try.

The article elsewhere, apropOs OF the
proposed emigration of green bottle man.
ufacturers, is full of significancea as to the
movement of real estate values in and
around Pittsburg, consequent upon the
rapid growth of local industries. 1t is
indicative of a progress which is both
rapid and steady, and it contains strong
arguments on behalf of an enlargement of
the city's legal area.
Centripetal and centrifugal forces are
constantly at work inducing respectively
concentration of the directive power in
the business heart of this city, and a
decentralization of that which it controls
throughout the surrounding country. The
capital, brain and enterprise of Pittsburg
men is responsible for and in control of
vast interests conducted outside the munic-
ipality. 1t is as though Pittsburg' s business
center were an immense power house
from which energy is distributed to works
far away from this force. Surely all these
hives of industry are practically and theo-
retically part of Pittsburg. Y ct legally
and conventionally they lie without the
city's limits, and beyond the care of the
municipality.
The time has come to equate the prac-
tical and legal boundaries of the city.
From so doing each part of the proposed
new whole would derive great advantages.
Pittsburg. Allegheny and the surrounding
suburbs and boroughs would each and all
be gamers by sinking somewhat of their
individualities in the formation of new
city of nearly half million inhabitants.
The prestige derived from the con-
sOlidation would tend to give this
district that high place among the nations
which is its right by reason Of its i'm
mense industrial importance. By the prin-
ciple that commodities can be purchased
or produced more cheaply wholesale than
retail the economic gain may be easily
foreseen. The growing tendency of the
age toward immense combinations OF in
terests in particular industries Is only to
be defended by the argument that not
only the combiners but the consuming
public as well are to benefit by the de-
crease in the price of production and dis
tribution. And this argument on behalf
Of commercial cooperation is equally ap-
PiSouAo W uuulIipdi CoHSoiludGiOu
All this, too, can be consummated-by a
judicious retention of local governments
and responsibility for debt, under one CEN
tralized executive authority - with
little OF no friction. The gain
to municipal spirit and esprit de
corps which would result from such a
is in itself sufficient incentive
for Its advocacy. Pittsburg and its col
leagues and dependencies will never attain
their rightful position or make progress
Of proper rapidity until they unite to dis
play their advantages and strength before
the world. With a tithe of that energy
devoted to public affairs which is now con-
centrated on private enterprises the new
city of Pittsburg would soon be a fast
to the advantage of the private
no. less than the public
whole.

THE DEBT QUESTION.

The proposition to issue considera BILE
number of bonds for city improvement
bobs up again in the shape of a report that
it will be submitted shortly. Tne amount
by which it is proposed to increase the
city is loosely stated at So, ,OOO 600 to Sc, 900,
600. The objects are reported to be parks,
free bridges and in addition the wide
gauge word Improvements"
The city debt will hardly be increased
Sc, 600, 600 for the very good reason that
such an increase would bring it beyond
the limit placed by the Constitution. The
limit makes itpossible to increase the debt
four to five millions, and the people will
be called upon to decide whether it shall
be done. The election last year to author
ize an increase of debt to meet an emer
gency was practically unanimous, but it
does not follow that the people will ex-
tend the same treatment to proposition
to depart from policy which has rescued
Pittsburg from the gravest difficulties and
placed her affairs in very satisfactory con-
dition.
Twenty years ago Pittsburg tried the
plan of issuing bonds for city improve
ments. She is paying for the bonds still;
but few of the improvements remain.
The bog of difficulties into which she was
plunged at that time was only got out of
on the policy of paying as we 90, and that
is good policy to stick to. There may
be some classes of improvements for which
it is permissible to mortgage the future.
But street Improvements are not among
them. Parks are not among them either
for Pittsburg, for the reason that Pittsburg
has all the park acreage she wants-un-
less some small parks can be established
nearer the residence quarters of the work
ing masses and park improvements are
naturally work of time.
Free bridges are perhaps an object for
which it would be proper to issue bonds,
if it were not that the city already has
more money for the purpose than it has
been able to use. There is, however, q
reason why Pittsburg should hold her
debt negotiating power in reserve. The
time is coming when there must be COM
prehensive plan of water extension to
improve both the quantity and quality of
the supply. When that time comes Pitts
burg will need to employ her power to
issue bonds to the utmost

PIrTsBURG is somewhat familiar with
itself, ana by no means unknown TO out
siders, as a manufacturing center with an
accompaniment of dirt and activity. To-
day it may fiatter itself that it is, for the
nonce at least, a center of art and the propa-
CATION of the beautiful. This morning the
first joint meeting of the State branches OF
the National Committee on Art of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition is held in
this municipality. Professor H. c. Ives,
Chief OF the Exposition's art department,
and Chairman C. II. Hart. of the Committee
on Retrospective Art. are among the dis
tinguished visitors who are to meet the ac-
credited local resentatives to take coun-
Gil together how best the products of Ameri-
can artists may be displayed at the Worlds
Fair. May our skies for once be blue, and
our points of beauty look their best for the
occasion. and may Pittsburg be inspired
anew to foster the beautiful as we'll as pro-
duce the useful things of life!

OF course that "fopping" Republics

OF course that "fopping" Republican
elector in Connecticut is possessed of the
universal privilege to demonstrate the ex-
istence of his mind by changing it, but just
why he should have been inconsiderate
enough to postpone his aspostacy to the
eleventh hour-no new evidence having
been produced in the meantime-is an ex-
ample of those many cases where e1plana-
tion becomes impossible when it becomes
necessary. There are, however, at least
enough Republicans left in the State from
whom to select satisfactory substitute for
the deserter. Notoriety is the main incen-
tive to most of those who display the vola-
tility of their sentiments in such immodest
publicity.

LAST WEEK OF THE CANVASS.

Another week remains for the cam
paignerS to get in their work. The
quietest canvass on record for the Presi-
dency will then be finshed-but it would
be an erroneous mistake to assume that
the public are not taking deep interest.
Simply because such excitements as torch
light professions, monster meetings and
the like are rather out of fashion, it does
not by any means follow that the Ameri-
can people do not feel vitalIy concerned
in an election which turns distinctly upon
business issues
Following the usual professions of con-
fidence by the rival managers, there have
lately come admissions that these prophets
are not much better posted about the
doubtful States than the common people.
But there is basis for prediction which
is broader, and probably more reliable,
than the guess-figures of county and town.
ship statesmen and oracles. The guiding
fact is that large majority of voters
are keenly intelligent upon business
issues. They cannot readily be fooled.
There is the strongest possible pre-
sumption that they will vote ac-
cording as they believe their interests
to be affected. They know the results of
the protection policy in building up the
prosperity that the United States has en-
joyed, and, while they hear the opponents
of that policy denouncing it, they have
not heard one of them propose any means
excepting tariff by which the necessary
revenues for the expenses of the Govern
ment can be raised. They have heard the
tariff denounced as tax, yet no explana-
ton of how the Government expenses can
be raised excepting by such tax. If
there is any agreement upon a financial
programme among the lights and leaders
of the Democracy 1t is neither Indicated
nor fureshadowed in the differences be-
tween the utterances Of Messrs. Cleveland
and Hill and the free trade doctrines of
the Chicago platform. Likewise as to the
currency, if there are any considerable
number of people with capital, labor or
business at stake who would prefer
return to wildcat notes as against our
present reliable money, they have not
been heard from.
1t is an old saying that ''Still waters run
Deep" and the stiffness of the present
canvass may reasonably be attributed to
deep convictions about matters easily
grasped. So far as the business sense of
the public is to be relied upon it points
directly in favor of the Republicans.

Forum points out the superiority of English
over American municipal government, and
accounts for it partly by the devotion OF
leisured men to the management of the
cities in which they live. There is no doubt
that the refusal of American men of wealth
to devote their energies to the good of the
Commonwealth is q seYious evil. But such
English superiority as there is in municipal
matters is due in large measure to the
greater age of the country as we'll as to the
greater abundance of practical public spirit
and the lower pace of living.

like discrimination to read and observe
the somewhat more complica led regulations
for voting under the Baker ballot law

votes. No voter should stay away from the
polls, and none should risk the invalidation
of his ballot by abstaining from a careful
study of the sample sheets and their re-
Quirements.
