PITTsBURG, FRIDAY. NOV. 4, 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
EVERYONE Is INTERESTED.

Local freight agents make great mis-
take in assuming an air of injury and Of
Tended dignity on account of the agitation
to remove freight Determinations against
Pittsburg, and establish bureau to further
the city's interests in the matter. When
it is remembered that local manufacturers
and merchants are only just realizing the
necessity for united action on behalf of
individual and municipal rights, there is
little need for wonder or reproach that the
railroad agents have hitherto been labor
ing under similar mistaken apathy. Now
that the question is coming to the fore, it
behooves the freight agents to do all in
their power to aid the movement for the
Inauguration of more satisfactory state
OF affairs. The interests of the freight
agents are identical with those Of the city
as whole, and they will be wise to show
their realization of the fact by throwing in
their lot with the agitators. To deny the
existence of inequities and profess that
anyone asks the railroads to do business at
a loss is ridiculous in the face of the eyi-
dence
A freight bureau under such properly
qualified management as is proposed
would be no less a convenience for the rail-
road agents than for the shippers. There
is every indication that such bureau
will be established, and the freight agents
will find reasonable cooperation far more
profitable than factious antagonism.
Every merchant and manufacturer-and
in fact every Pittsburger-is the gamer by
any enhancement of the city's benefits.
And local railroad agents should join
with other individuals to secure the ad-
vantages only to be derived from con-
certed action.

THE AGITATION IN ALLEGHENY.

The discomfort of the people of Alle-
gheny with the conduct of their city gov
eminent is abundantly justified to anyone
who has kept track of the surprises de-
veloped across the river during the past
couple of years. But we fail to see that
Allegheny taxpayers will better their con-
dition by refusing needed expenditures
for improvements simply because of a
fear that dishonest officials may steal or
misappropriate the money as soon as it is
raised. The persons who hold office in
Allegheny, from Councilmen down, have
been elected by the Allegheny taxpayers.
Had these taxpayers been alive to an in
telligent and vigorous use of their suf-
frages, they would have men in Office
upon whom they could depend. If any
elected officials behaved dishonesty or
corruptly there should be enough spent
among the taxpayers to send such
offenders out of City Hall and into certain
other fnstitutions-also on the Allegheny
side of the river-where places are pre-
pared and maintained for such and their
kind by the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania-the penitentiary and workhouse,
But the taxpayers will also have in the
future this same power which they may
have neglected in the past. They will
still have the election of CounciImen and
of other officials on their hands. If the
state of the case is so utterly bad in ALLIE
gheny that even the suffrage is unable to
secure honest and upright agents, then
that community had better throw up the
sponge and apply for admission to Pitts
burg. Pittsburg does not by any means
point with pride to her Councils There
are many notorious occasions on this side
of the river when the public interests are
in the coolest manner possible subordin-
ated by Councils to private interests. But
the situation has never got quite so hope
lessly bad, that the Pittsburg taxpayers
feared to authorize the money for needed
improvements lest it might be stolen be-
fore being expended.
But if at present the situation seems to
give decidedly unpleasant quarter of an
hour to the Allegheny taxpayers, it is
really the jobbers who are in danger.
When people get driven by corrupt and
incapable government to point at which
for moment they do not seem to know
what to do, that is the very time when
they are apt to arise in their might, al
most without warning, and do notable
things which bring for time at least the
greatly desired relief. 1t was so on the
famous uprising against Tammany at
New York twenty years ago. 1t has been
more recently so in Cincinnati, Toledo,
Chicago and other cities. 1t may be so in
Allegheny very soon.

How She Nerved Up q Simple Mexican
Tribe to Fanatica1 Heroism.
Ell PAso TEX, Nov. 3.-A letter from Chi
huahua gives the origin OF the trouble
which led to the terrible battle last week
between the Tomachicans and the Mexican
Governments as follows: Some months back
a young Mexican maiden called the MAID
of Cabosca'' was looked upon by the Toma-
chfcans as one possessed of supernatural
powers. This woman, though young, e1-
hibited degree of influence with the SIM
ple.minded Tomachicans which can hardly
be conceived. Her methods and the teach-
ings of the priest OF the Tomach1c people
violated the civil law. In this they were
sustained by the Maid of Cabosca She en-
couraged them in deiying the law OF the
land.
The result was that the Maid was expelled
from Mexican territory, and is now living al
Nogales, Ariz., and known as santa Teresa,
while the bravo defenders of Tomaca1c,
save a few prisoners, are lifeless and in their
graves.

IT is well that the Chicago directory of
the Worlds Fair should be attempting to
bring about reconsideration of the SUM-
day closing of the Exposition. There can
be no doubt that under certain proper re-
strictions there would be a great public gain
by opening up the priceless treasures to be
gathered there to the inspection OF visitors
on Sunday. The fact that the labor organ
izations of Chicago favor the opening, while
the saloon keepers take the opposite, is a
strong argument in itself.

FIRST the Democrats say that Protection
is unconstitutional, then they say that a lit
tie of the unconstitutional is an excellent
thing. Again they ask for the re-establish-
r,ent of a wildcat banking, and at the same
time profess to be opposed to unstable
money and fiuctuating currency. All this
is an interesting indication of the Demo-
cratic inclination to band together all men
anxious to replace existing office-holiers by
their none too humble selves. But it is, too,
a display OF untrustworthy inconsistency
which is little fitted to meet with approval
from the common business sense of the
country.
