SALVATION VS.. ANARCHY,

The appearance at the meeting of the
Salvation Army in the Liberty Street NJ.
E. Church, yesterday, of an eX-Anarchist
who has been converted from anarchy to
salvationism puts that class of religious
organization in new light. If the Saliva
'iOn Army can extend the work of con-
erting Anarchists and inducing them to
i've up beer and anarchy for salvation
and the care of their families it will COM
mand the liberal and enthusiastic support
of property and capital
1t may be that unconverted Anarchists
will dispute that any real member of their
explosive sect can be brought to a belief
in religion. The basis of the Anarchist
cult is to deny all religion. Nothing
could be better demonstration of the
power Of religion than the turning of the
lestroyers of law and beer into genuine
out inoffensive soldiers of the Salvation
Army.
Certainly we advise other Anarchists to
follow the example Of their ex-confrere
and embrace salvationism. Better for
them to worship, even if somewhat gro
tesque, with the Salvationists than to
blow up with the country and their own
dynamite.

NOT YET ADEQUATE.

The Supervising Surgeon General of the
Marine Hospital service sends letter to
The DISPATCH with regard to its editorial
remarks of last Friday on the order fixing
September 20 as the date at which disin-
fection of foreign rags was to be made
compulsory. Surgeon General. Wyman
quotes from letter of August 26, to the
State Board of Health of Illinois, to show
tina: the order of July required the dis
infection of all baggage and merchandise
from infected ports. The order of August
II was supplementary to this, requiring
the disinfection to be done on the other
side, and the time was given in order to
permit the completion of steam disinfect-
ing chambers. '1n the meantime" says
the Surgeon General, ''it was considered
that all previous circulars would hold
good"
This puts somewhat different face on
the matter, and is well enough as far as
it goes; but it fails to reach the vital point
urged by THE DISPATCH The order of
July Is only provides disinfection for
baggage and merchandise arriving from
infected ports. A supplementary order
CA1Ohuo ohO dCblOh VI SlASolbi VI -Ao
gust II to all European ports. But that or
der does not take effect until September 20,
and in the meantime, according to the
text of the circulars, rags and other mer-
chandise may be brought here from ports
not declared to be infected without any
precautions.
This omission, especially with regard to
rags, is something for which criminal neg
ligence is scarcely too severe term. Rags
are well known to afford a special vehicle
for the transmission of disease germs.
Ordinary merchandise generally bears on
its face the evidence of its source; but
bale of rags is gathered from no one
knows where. The fact that it is shipped
from port where there is no infection
affords no evidence that it may not have
been collected in the centers of infection.
For this reason the loophole in the orders
of the Government permitting such car
goes for month without disinfection is
mildly described by the words halfway
measures"
All cargoes coming from Europe should
be thoroughly disinfected before they are
permitted to land in this country; and
rags should be excluded altogether. This
country can get along with its own rags
for year better than to take foreign rags
with the cholera thrown In.

AIMED AT TIE COAL TRUST.

THE injunction against the Reading COM
bine does not seem to have any effect in pre-
venting the combine from putting up the
price of coal.-Nt,o York Evening World.
THE decision is plain common sense. But
the Reading combine snaps its fingers in the
face OF the New Jersey court, defies public
opinion and marks coal up another notch
for Chicago Netos.
This decision is sound in law. 1t is also
sound in its Interpretation of the law, as de-
signed and intended to protect the people
from organized attempts at wholesale injus-
tice, from contemplated robbery on vast
scale.-Chtcd0o Tribune.
Now this decision is clear Knockout for
the Reading Coal Trust, of which A. A. Nc
Leod is the moving spirit. The opinion is
by an eminent jurist, yet in the mind of A.
A. Mcleod it is not worth the paper on
which it is written.-Chicd1o Natl.
THE decision made against the scandalous
coal combine by the Chancellor of the State
of New Jersey is as clear and strong as can
be. He rules it to be wholly illegal. We re-
gret to add that equally clear and strong is
the defiance of law by President Mcleod of
the coal trust.-Ch Chicago Inter Ocean.
THE managers of the combination are
likely to resist and endeavor to continue
their robbery in spite of the decision.
There is need of prompt and forcible action
to carry out the decision, and we trust that
the law officers of New Jersey will take
such action. The coal combination ought to
be Observation-Disclosures Democrat.
No doubt President Mcleod, of the Phila-
delphia ana Reading Company, is an author
ity on the subject of the practical effect of
the decision of Chancellor McGill on the
operation of the railroads in the coal "com-
bine," but when he undertakes to criticise
the regularity of the courts action he goes
out of his province.-Neao York Times
PEOPLE generally will hail with joy the
announcements that the coal combine has
been rebuffed In New Jersey by an opinion
of Chancellor McGill. There will also be as
general denunciation of the insolence of
President Mcleod, Of the Reading Company,
in commenting upon the decision OF the
Observation-Disclosures Evening Wisconsin,.

THE LOCAL PEOPLES PARTY.

The address of the Peoples party to the
vC'ers of Allegheny county, both in the
names signed to it and in the representa-
tions by which it asks the votes of this sec
ton, reminds us of the old Greenback-
Labor party of the 7O's We make no
doubt that the gentlemen who advance
the propositions contained in that address
are as sincere now as they were in oppos-
ing specie payments in 1876 and 1877 But
the fact that their opinions did not stand
the test of debate and experience fifteen
years ago may create presumption with
regard to the reliability of their political
nostrums to-day
That presumption is strengthened by
the character of their address. A large
number of general assertions are made as
the basis of the Indictment of both the
Democratic and Republican parties; but
no more specific assertion is made than
that bad laws are increasing the wealth of
the rich and impoverishing the masses.
Not a single bad law is specified, nor is it
shown how their operation has worked
that result The fact is that while, as
THE DISPATCH has often shown, there
are many and great privileges to excessive
wealth, they are in nine cases out of ten
due to violations and notification of law
which if enforced would prevent such
things.
The same looseness of reasoning is
shown by making the vote of the repre-
sentatives of this district against the silver
bill the only specific Indictment of the
address. This follows close upon a para
graph which makes the question of wages
paramount one. But they do not know
t che shift to the silver standard means,
--.SSof all, reduction Of the value of the
dollar in which the wages of labor is paid
by 80 cents; and, second, the permanent
taking away from every workingman who
has something laid by in the savings bank,
as great proportion of his savings.
While the address fails to specify the bad
laws that are to be repealed, it is more
frank with regard to those that are to be
enacted An income tax is to drive mill
iOnaires out of existence-if it is enforced;
monopoly in land is to be checked by the
party which seeks its votes with the class

man and his products are to be shut out
which is good protection doctrine for a
party whose greatest success can be to
make certain the election of a free-trade

money at 2 per cent to improve the high
ways; and the old soldiers shalt have their

He Thinks 1t Brings the Best Men to the
Front in Labor Problems.
ALTOONA, Aug. 2s.-[SpecioL l-Ex-Go
Beaver, who has long been a student of the
labor question and is well versed on all its
phases, says he favors the organization Of
laboring men, because it usually brings the
best mon among the workers 10 the front,
and the companies can deal much better and
more intelligently with them as officers OF
unions than they could with all the men in
dividually.
president Weihe, of the Amalgamated
Association" said he, sis an example of
what mean. He is intelligent and con-
servative, and in discussing matters affect
ing capital and labor is on q level with the
shrewdest of the manufacturers OF course,
there are cases like that of Grand Master
Sweeny, at Buffalo. where the wrong man is
at the head of the organization: but as a
rule, the best men govern the unions"
When asked what he thought of the plan
of having State and National Commissions
for the arbitration and settlement of labor
difficulties he said: ''The idea is all right,
SO far as it goes. 1 am of the opinion, how
ever, that any law making such arbitrations
compulsory would be unconstitutional; and
while 1t would work admirably where both
sides agree to submit the matter TO the COM
mission, there would be no way of settling
difficulties by this means where either side
objects to the Dlan."

TIMELY POLICE WORK.

The work that the police and sanitary
inspectors will undertake to-day, as stated
in our local columns, is one of the great
est value for the city. They will make a
thorough inspection of every section of
the city. Wherever there is harboring
place fer filth or disease they will order
its cleaning up. Wherever people are
using water from springs and wells liable
TO contaminate they will urge the discon-
tinuanee of the practice. In short, COM
plete and effective sanitary inspection is
contemplated which if maintained will
make Pittsburg proof not only against
cholera but against more common epidem-
les arising out of unsanitary conditions.
This work should receive the hearty
support and cooperation of every citizen.
Every suggestion of the authorities as to
places which require cleaning up should
be promptly complied with. Even if the
directions seem unnecessarily rigid it
should be remembered that scrupulously
high standard of cleanliness is the best
guarantee of public safety. The work is
q good one. 1t is for the public benefit,
and it is especially timely The whole
community should unite in giving it active
cooperation and assistance.
1t is TO be hoped that this will be only
The first of continuous series of sanitary
inspections. A second inspection, and
that at an early day, will be necessary to
see thatthe directions in all places where
disinfection is necessary have been carried
out; and vigorous prosecutions should be
resorted to in every case where the work
is neglected after such notice. Then
monthly inspections should be maintained
against the growth of fresh nuisances.
With this work faithfully performed
Pittsburg will have the best assurance
against epidemics

Several Ohio Regiments Claim the Honor
and May Fight It Out Yet.
STEUBENvILLE, Aug. 2s.-[.SpeciaL 1-Grand
Army circles in this city and East Liverpool
are threatened with disruption over the
questions: "What Ohio regiment put down
the Rebellion and saved the day at the battle
of Chickamauga?" On the evening OF the
camp fire held by G. NJ. Stanton Post, G. A.
T., held August l5 in this city, Comrade W.
81. surles, of East Liverpool, gave a history
OF the End o. V. culIed from the official
roster. He took especial occasion in his
history to give all the credit of the battle to
the End regiment, o. v. l., whose heroic
deeds he said completely eclipsed the fight
ing OF others.
A comrade Of the 9Sth, which is known as
"The regiment that put down the Rebellion"
when the soldier boys joke, took Comrade
Surles to task in q card. Then j. d. Porter
another member of the 9Sth, came out and
said the End o. Y. I. were ready to run
when the 9Sth came to their rescue. Com
rade Surles' cutting replies fill the columns
OF the papers almost daily, and the citizens
are expecting that the End and 9sth will be
called out and settle the dispute by a battle
on Browns Island some day. The 57th,
known as the "blood lappers," has been
brought to the rescue of the 98th in several
articles. 1t is expected that the outcome for
which all are waiting will be that all three
regiments will appoint o committee to
arbitrate, and then decide that the l57th, q
