FoREsTRY AND FLOODS.

There is at least one direction in which
the enormous floods of this year should
suggest careful and earnest inquiry. They
should call attention to the necessity for a
better regulation of forestry than at
present exists 1t is now almost univer-
sally admitted that the wholesale denu.
dation of wooded tracts exercises great
and deleterious influence on the climate.
Its effect on the water-courses is no less
remarkable. The general belief is ex-
pressed by the expert appointed to inves.
tigate the matter after the Conemaugh
freshet of 1889:
First-The presence of the forest on a sur.
face prevents the formation OF a torrent.
Second-The clearing away of forest rem
ders the soil prey to torrents.
Third-The development of forests lea ds
to the extinction of torrents.
Fourth-The telling of forests increases
the violence of torrents and may even cause
them to be renewed.
These are positive assertions, and they
are enough at least to indicate the wisdom
of setting limit to the ravages of the
lumberman. Floods are expensive mat
tiers which concern many States, and their
possible prevention by better preserva-
ton of the forests is worthy of national
study.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR,

The Christian Endeavor Society proposes
by cooperative means to erect hotel at
Chicago for the use of such of its members
as desire to visit the Worlds Fair. There
is no factor so powerful to increase the in
fluence of organizatio ms with moral aims
as good sound common sense. And this is
a factor that is conspicuous in all the
methods of this society. 1t seeks especially
to promote morality by providing means
for pleasant social intercourse among
young people associated with churches of
various denominations, and that it is high
ly successful in its efforts is demonstrated
by its rapid growth up and down the
country.
But this latest departure in connection
with the Fair is its boldest and should
prove its most successful enterprise
There should be no difficulty i'm finding
a permanent use for the building as club
home under proper management for the
youth of Chicago. Such establishments
have proved useful and more than self
supporting in London and elsewhere, and
the time should not be far distant when
every big city has place of the kind.
Pittsburg needs something of this sort, and
the experiment could be tried here with
every chance of enthusiastic support from
those to whom it would be great boon.

THE yrroEs oyERRtppEN,

Common Council yesterday followed
the example set them by the Select body
in overriding the Mayors vetoes Of the
ordinances granting franchises to the
Exchange Street Railway and that other
for forming loop whose only uses will
be the increase of dangers to pedestrians
and inconvenience to vehicular traffic.
This action was predicted by The Dis
PATCH, and is obviously all that could be
expected while citizens consent to the
election of Councilmen whose motives are
other than devotion to the city's best in
terests Both acts establish public nui-
sances, and the wording of the overridden
vetoes seems to imply that the Mayor be-
lieves the ordinances to be contrary to
law as well as public policy. Whether or
not a remedy for these particular meas
ures be found in the courts, their lesson
should be educative to deeper extent
than that resulting merely in redress Of
the specific evils involved.
Councils are doing their best to teach
citizens the folly of their refusal to bestir
themselves in the election of men fitted
for the municipal government; and surely
there must before long be a thorough
awakening of public opinion and an Or
ganization of those who have the city's
welfare at heart which shall insure the
discontinuance of such fragrant abuses of
power The granting of franchises to
street railways, even where they are a
public convenience, without any equiva-
lent return to the city for the privileges
obtained, is bad enough. The effort to
make citizens pay for improvements used
solely by the traction companies, as in the
case of the Diamond street bridge, is still
worse. And the climax is capped by per-
mitting railways to run in streets where
they can be nothing but a positive OBJ
struction.
If these things be insufficient to bring
citizens to proper sense of their rights
and the duties they involve it is hard to
know what will succeed in securing re-
form. And without reform in the NUM-
cipal administration Pittsburg's rate of
progress will be far less than it should,
and the city needs to keep pace with the
times to the full extent of its capacity.

MR.. PLATT'S INTERVIEW.

FoR q small man, Thomas C. Platt strikes
wicked blow.-PhfLodelphi Inquirer.
PLATT seems to think the President looks
upon him as "a cloaked and hooded Venetian
conspirator.-Ne,0 York World.
The responsibilities of office are also in
sisted on by Mr.. Platt; If the President has
found some angels, he has also brought out
apes.-NeW York Evening Sun.
AND what Prof Platt has to say OF party
that this country is governed by parties and
not by men-is we'll worth remembering
New York Commercial advertiser.
The funniest thing of to-day is the news Of
Boss Platt preaching to MI. Harrison that
the Presidency is not any mans private
property.-Ne,D York Evening World.
AS soon as Mr.. Platt opened his mouth he
showed that the President never took
more accurate aim than when he leveled his
keen arrow at the would-be boss of New
Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. PLArr candidly states what his mo-
tives are. They are for the good of the
party, and in his opinion the denomination
of Mr.. Harrison is not one of the things that
makes for the party's interests.-Ne10 York
Posi-.
BY all odds the Iiveliest reading that one
B. Harrison will find anywhere today is the
ready interview which Mr.. Thomas c.
Platt, Generalissimo of the great anti-Ad-
ministration combine. has furnished to the
public Philadelphia Telegraph.

ng with plain living, from Franklin down,
are of the common clay.
We should be careful, of course, to avoid
in such discussions the error of quarrel
ing about terms For those whose idea Of
society is simply artistic gluttony and
profuse upholstery, the social standard of
the day must be conceded. But to those
who think that social pleasure means the
interchange Of thought, the enjoyment Of
mental intercourse, and the mutual gain
of personal contact, it should be plain
that the accidents of wealth and the
fripperies of dress and furniture have no
social importance. The social ethics that
you cannot get along without so many
courses at dinner, or a supper served in a
stated style, have just the same sort of
standard as that of the rural housewives
who consider themselves disgraced by
entertaining guests without giving them
at least five kinds of cake
There may be those who prefer the
standard of Vitellius to that of Socrates;
Cleopatra may present more attractions to
certain natures than Cornelia; but think
ing people are still at liberty to prefer
society where intellect and virtue are
regarded as more essential than mere
luxury.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY. JUNE 3. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.

Any increase in the feeling that Blaine
is, health and himself permitting, far and
away the best and strongest man to re-
ceive the Minneapolis nomination would
be well-nigh impossible. The one point
in the matter about which there can be
any question is only whether he will ac-
cept the offer if it is made. And that
question is already practically answered
in the affirmative. Blaine's action in the
matter depends more upon the state Of
his health than upon any other considera-
ton. His health is now better than it has
been for long past. Moreover, his silence
itself gives consent to the convention to
nominate him, for he can see as well as
any man in what a dilemma the Republi-
can party would be placed if it nominated
him only to have its gift returned with
thanks. He is to great man and too sim
cere an upholder of the political princi-
Piles at stake to consent to run any such
risk of debilitating his party and imperil-
ling the success of its cause.
The arguments of the men and organs
straining their every nerve for one reason
and another to promote Harrison's chances
for second term are just the reverse of
the deductions which logically follow
from the premises. 1t is said that because
Blaine, in very emphatic language, for
bade the use of his name under a certain
set of circumstances by the Republican
National Convention of 1888, therefore
that language is equally applicable under
entirely different conditions in 1892 This
is ridiculous special pleading of the
worst type. The case, to begin with, is
not analogous, and, if there be any deduc-
ton to be made from the matter at all it is
simply that Blaine's silence now, as COM
pared to his reiterations in 1888, implies
that he is ready to accept the nomination
if it shall be offered.
The puerile tactics of the office holders
and Harrison's sycophants, and the terror
stricken whims of the Democratic press
serve rather to weaken the cause they
seek to further than to touch the man
who stands above them in the isola-
ton and grandeur of unapproached abili-
tiles. The cry for Blaine is wise one,
and it grows daily in an ever increasing
ratio side by side with the probability
that it will be satisfied.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-03

He is known to those who haunt the
lounging places in Washington as Ca
lamity Russ, +" but he cannot indeed mean
to take hand in the Minneapolis affair.
1t is true that he must feel as if por-
tion of the weight of the present situation
is upon his shoulders, for he is, in a
measure, responsible for the attitude OF
Mr.. Blaine's friends This, indeed, may
explain why he is attempting to try his
luck once again.
If it is true that he is to meddle with
men and things on behalf of his father, it
must mean that the President still believes
in the influence of that famous trinity
to which he attributes his election: "The
Lord Almighty, the name bear and my
son Russell"
The general opinion will doubtless be
that if Prince Russell does not slaughter
the head of his house, it is direct evil
dence that the three-fold influence is still
intact
