DON'T BLOW THEIR HORNS ENOUGH
Postmaster Mckean Thinks Local Manu-
facturerx Too Modest.

Postmaster Mexican Thinks Local Manu-
facturers Too Modest.
"Pittsburg people are too modest" re-
marked Postmaster Mexican yesterday,
to the proposition to boom
the city. "They don't blow their
horns enough" he continued. "Listen
to these Western fellows, a Chicago
man, for example. He never loses sight of his
city, and it is in his thoughts first, last and
all the time. The Western people are great
blowers and boomers. 1t pays, too, as the
of the country shows. Why,
if some of these Western cities had Pitts
burgs advantages and industries, they
would make howl that could be heard from
Dan to Beersheba. They would be puffed up
with so much pride that it would be painful
to live with them. I think our people should
push their claims more than they do. We
allow less deserving cities to ride over u.s."

NEEDLESS CONTROVERSY.

The old Stanton-Sherman fight is re-
opened by the answer, published else
where, Ct George c. Gorham in reply to
Senator Sherman's general terms of de-
fenSe for his brothers act in concluding
the famous convention with General John
ston. II does not seem that the contro-
verSv will make any material addition to
the public knowledge of that historical
event, and it is to be regretted that the
biographer of Secretary Stanton should
have seen fit to perceive challenge in
Senator Sherman's remarks.
The public memory, so far as 1t retains
definite reeollections on that subject, is al
ready Just estimate Everyone knows
that General Sherman made an error in
treating of the settlement of political ques-
tons in a purely military negotiation.
Every one knows that Stanton might have
corrected that error with more considera-
ton for the man who had just marched
through the Confederacy than was to be
expected from his impetuous and
imperative character. The errors of
both which produced the personal differ
ences were due to the characteristics
which made their services what they were,
and they should not be allowed to detract
from the high place in the public memory
to which both are entitled. We cannot
see that the words of the Senator invited
to speak in eulogy of his brother need be
regarded as a challenge to reopen the old
controversy.
1t was unfortunate that this affair
should have alienated the two men who
stood next to Lincoln and Grant in their
public services during the war. That
misfortune should not be extended after
their death. The nation can honor both
Sherman and Stanton without perpetu-
ating the quarrel by making their memo
ries antagonistic.

elective recognition, in every city, of the
ring, either as taking the place OF the ordf-

beside to direct their action. Then we would
find out that the ring is not such an iniquit.
Gus affair after all. We would be able to
judge it more justly 1t might possibly do
us better service than it does at present.
And for all its service we would then be able
to give, ms it deserves, its appropriate re-
ward of gratitude and admiration.

SENATOR HAwLEY's assertion, with re.
gard to that appropriation for the celebra-
tion of the Grand Army at Washington, that
'there are not many of the old soldiers left"
seems to cast a slur upon the accuracy OF

be understood as alleging that large share

category are not really old soldiersf

and thus the aggregate riches of the country
are increased.
the best predictions of art obtained by
travel in Europe, little as it may be In some
cases, tends to elevate the average taste, and
thus to compel an improvement in the OBJ
jects of which beauty is an essential ele-
ment of value. The effect of the ccmpeti-

and architects is not only to make those of
our own country to strive to produce better
results but the competition extends to FUR

can bear personal testimony to san i'm
mense Improvement since my youth in the
matter of household furniture. The days
when black horsehair covered chairs and
sofas staring brussels carpets and gaudy
wall papers were fashionable has gone for
ever In their place we have an immense
variety of pretty articles, which enables
people of very moderate pecuniary means
to furnish their homes in style which was
formerly unattainable by the most wealthy.
One has only to compare the old silverware
piously preserved in families as heir1ooms
with that offered by our modern silver
smiths to recognize the advance in taste.
An Increased Demand to Be Met.
With this increase of beautiful merchant
able objects has come an increase of demand
for them and q willingness to pay higher
prices for them. This, in turn, has increased
the quantity of them produced, and thus, as
have said, the aggregate wealth of the
nation has been augmented Or course it is
too much to claim that this Improvement in
the beauty of our home surroundings is due
exclusively TO the foreign travel of our citi-
zens, but that it is so in great measure is, to
my mind very clear. 1 only regret that the
work has not gone further than it has gone,
and does not go on faster. That Americans
returning from their first trip to Europe
usually find much here which provokes their
dissatisfaction, do not regard as unpatrf-
otic, but rather as the symptom of q healthy
discomfort which leads to amelioration
That much benefit is yet to be derived by
use from the study OF European civilization,

butalso of its essential comforts, think

inhabitant has his interests as well looked
after as the poorest member of a club. All
the men in club get the same privileges
of careful service. so long as they pay their
dues, without regard to their income.
Everything is done that can be donc to min

it is with the fortunate inhabitants of these
ring-managed cities Of the Old World. Their
club dues are their taxes.
That notable election in London the other
day was simply the election of ring; the
name of it in this instance being the "Lon-
don County Council" This ring consists of
1877 members. 1t is q sign of the good sense
OF the people, and shows what voters will do
when they are choosing men solely for the
purpose of getting good public servants
that it can be said of this London ring that
"among the whole 1877 there is not one man
who has even been suspected of corruption
OF of breach of trust. A more incorruptible
body of men never assembled for the gov
ernment of great city" That is what is
effected by removing the misleading mask
of secrecy and letting everybody know ex-
actly who is responsible for the municipal
administration.
Too Much Municipal Apathy.
AND one of the most excellent results
of this direct election of the ring by the peo-
pie is the interest that is stirredup in the
well-being of the city. American citizens
are inclined to be apathetic in regard to
municipal elections. "A great many good
men stay away from the polls altogether.
They say that it makes little difference who
is elected, the unelected and secret ring
will manage everything. This is a great
loss. 1t Is most unfortunate thing when
the best citizens of a town take no part in
local politics. 1t means q lack of public
spirit, which is bound to be q hindrance to
the city's welfare.
For there is Something that we want more
than any number of material improvements,
and that is a wider and stronger and more
enthusiastic municipal spirit. And one help
toward that would be public ana Official

A Contention to BE Held to Discuss Fed
GRAFTON.
TKRRE HAUrE, IND, Dec. 26.-Grand Master
Sargent Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men was interviewed today by reporter regard
ing the alleged federation Of railroad laborers'
organizations. He said that conference had
been called to meet at Cedar Rapids on
Wednesday, to which the order Of Railway
Conductors, Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Bro herhood Of Locomotive Firemen,
Order Of Railroad Telegraphers and Order Of
Railway Switchmen have been invited. Mr..
Sargent said that the conference will not be
composed of state delegates, but only OF COM
mittees chosen by the several railway orders.
The representatives Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen will be F. p. Sargent.
Terre Haute; c. A. Wilson, Jersey City, and
Geo. Greenwood. Winslow, Ariz.
Mr.. Sargent says while the meeting Is called
to consider the question Of federation it cannot
at this time take definite action. 1t would, in
fact, be impossible to do this, since whatever
action may be taken at the meeting, under
the rules Of the several orders, will have to be
referred to those orders for ratification. Mr..
Sargent thinks federation may be agreed upon
along the lines laid down at the last meeting of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen at
Cincinnati, which were, in effect, to provide
for system federation rather than national fed
Grafton. In other words, the several orders
may fedsrate on such railway system as have
the orders working in harmony.
