DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
william voegtiin, Scenic Painter.

William Voegtlin, who has been for many
years Of the best-known scene painters in this
country, died In Boston sunday from pneumonia.
He was Sc years old. He was born in Basic, Swtzer-
land, and came to this country with his father
who was also scene-painter, about 40 years ago.
He has been at work among the theaters all over
the country ever since that time One of the most
notable of his works the scenery for the famous
production of The Black Crook, ." at NIblO's Gar

No UNIT RULE.

The renewal of talk to the effect that
an attempt will be made for the enforce
ment of the unit rule, so far as the Penn
sylvania delegation is concerned, warrants
a plain word or two as to that course. If
attempted it will be display of political
machinery that should not be permitted
by the convention. The expectation that
the rule, If established, will be operated
in the interest of the Blaine movement
makes no difference to any man with an
honest conception of the rights Of repre-
sentation. The DISPATCH has clearly eX-
pressed its belief that, if Mr.. Blaine's per-
sonal circumstances will permit, the pop
ular demand for his nomination should be
respected. But over and above any per-
sonal choice is the necessity of respecting
the principle of honest and fair repre-
sentation by counting every vote in the
convention as it is cast. Mr.. Blaine can
be nominated by the votes of delegates
who favor him. If he could not, he should
not be nominated al all.
If there is a delegate from Pennsylvania
who has been instructed for Harrison, or
who prefers Harrison without
he is entitled to have his vote counted for
Harrison. To pervert his vote, because
the majority of the delegation vote the
other way, is simply taking away his repre-
sentative character If it was a correct
principle that the vote of any State should
be east as unit, time and trouble could
be saved by sending one man to Chicago
to cast the vote of the State. The very
right to exercise his choice
The unit rule is an old and familiar de-
vice of machine politics to keep the con-
troll in the hands of the prevailing element
Having been Thoroughly defeated decade
ago it should not be revived in this era of
our politics.

DIVIDING Up THE PI,rNDeR

The House of Representatives has done
little toward the policy of retrenchment
by cutting down the sundry civil appro
priation bill some $4,000. 900 from the
total of the previous Congress. Of course,
the Republican organs which last week
were arraigning the Democratic majority
for its failure to redeem the pledge of
retrenchment on the other bills, now cry
out that it is crippling the government by
refusing to appropriate the necessary ex-
penses of carrying on the administration.
The fact is that this appropriation
presents remarkably good field for re-
trenchment 1t is one of the departments
of expenditure which shows an immense
increase, inexpicable save on the
score of extravaganza from the scale of
expenses dozen years ago. Of course,
the varied nature of Its items includes
cases where retrenchment is wise. and
others where it is not. Whether the
House has cut down the right ones NAV
be a question to be decided from the
details of the bill. But its record already
is in keeping the extravsgant scale in
appropriations which partake of the char
acter of 'pork." The Republican organs
have strong ground for criticising the
Democratic majority in the House, not for
cutting down the sundry civil appropria-
ton, but for its prodigality in other ap
preparations in which the members have
an interest.
In the meantime the Senate has chival.
rously determined that it will take no un-
fair advantage of the House by presenting
an example of retrenchment. 1t is bent
on showing that one party is Just as bad as
the other, and no worse. That reported
25 per cent cut in the river and harbor
bill, which balanced so poorly as to actual
figures, balances still worse when the COM
mittee is through with the bill. The
House items were scaled the promised 25
per cent in the first instance, and then the
members proceeded to restore the items in
which they or their constituents had an
interest until the entire amount, less S5O,-
900, was restored to the bill. A better ex-
ample of the principle of addition and
division, on which appropriations are
made, could hardly be asked for.
1t seems that the idea of economv and
dsinterestedness in the use of the public
funds has been definitely abandoned as
something too useless at this age to profess
any respectfor If the people think differ
emily, they have got 10 take very positive
way of expressing their opinion.
The deep hold which civil service regu-
lations had upon the President three years

chief manager of the Harrison forces lost
no time after his arrival in the city yester.
