Protection constitutional.

The tariff plank OF the Democratic
platform declares that the government
has no constitutional power to enact
protective tariff laws, and Mr.. Cleve-
land seconds the declaration.
The fathers Of the constitution-the

enact a tariff law. not for revenue only,
but for protection to American indus
tries. Now were the men who made

AN ASTRONOMICAL ACADEMY.

There is more than transient interest
in the article in The DISPATCH to-day
describing the private observatory for as
Economical study of Mr.. Henry Berger.
That establishment is near neighbor of
the Allegheny observatory and together
they bid fair to make the locality famous
center of astronomical study.
The example set by Mr.. Berger is an ex-
ceedingly good one. It is an example of
American culture that Pittsburg mer-
chant maintains for his own use an estab-
lishment for astronomical study such as in
other countries would be considered re-
markable if owned by great landlords,
and would even be held to be sign of
cultured liberality IT maintained by a
Prince. If this was strictly for the pri-
vate use Of the owner, it would not have
so much public significance. But
at this private observatory, as well
as at the public one near by, the
arrangements for extending the use of the
valuable apparatus are made on the
widest liberality. We have therefore on
the hills above Allegheny facilities for
popular astronomical study such as are
hardly to be equalled in any other land.
There may be other places where there
are larger instruments and observatories
fitted up on grander scale; but there are.
few if any that are so accessible to the pub.
lie at large.
It is a good sign when people of means
devote their surplus to such uses; and it is
the especial good fortune of this COM
munity that the means have been fur
nished to give it leading place as center
of astronomicaDstudy. The fame which
has been earned for this point by Langley
and Brashear bids fair to be extended by
the work of the latter, reinforced by such
experts as Professor Keeler and such
liberal amateurs as Mr.. Berger.

PSEUDO SCIENCE IN ATHLETICS.

The opinion of Dr.. Grier on the injury
done to the physical system of John L..
Sullivan, which was referred to editorially
by The DISPATCH some days ago, appears
in full elsewhere. The light thrown on
the scientific methods for athletic training
and the injury done by the pseudo science
now in vogue have much value for the
public.
The important aspect of the case is the
blow given to the athletic craze by the ex-
posure of the fact that the so-called
science of athletics is really ignorant and
injurious blundering. The cultivation Of
physical strength has its undoubted bene-
fits; although the system which puts ply
steal qualities above the mental prizes
animals above men. But when the pro-
fessional method of training, arrogating to
itself the name OF science, is discovered to
be mere ignorance in which actual physi-
cal deterioration is inflicted, it becomes
evident that the supposed virtue of the
system contains like its other phases a
large share of fraud.
DR.. GIier sets forth clearly his ideas of
the system that should be employed in
scientific and reasonable physical training.
To his suggestions we would add the rule
that in all training the mems sana should
be put first and that athletic training
should be put in its proper place as
sport, instead of q profession.

NECESSARY DANGERS.

A pertinent commentary on the cry
which has been heard in various cities
against ''the deadly trolley" is made
by the editorial course of the WASH
ington Star in calling attention to
the killing of person by a
cable car in that city. The Star very
rightly makes the matter the ground for
demanding that cable cars provide the best
precautions in the way of tenders and
safeguards. 1t does not, because the
cable system may run over people, demand
the utter wiping out and exclusion of
rapid transit; although the case points out
that this method of propu sion is also
liable to accidents.
Every method of accelerated transit
through the streets of city necessitates
some danger OF casualties. Cable cars
and electric cars are alike in this respect
But rapid transit adds considerable per-
centage to the available life of each of the
thousands who use it, and the total gain to
humanity in that way is far in excess of
the loss by casualties. 1t would be poor
logic to say that because of the increased
danger there shall be no rapid transit in
the streets. but even that false reasoning

CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY.

The comments on the ballot muddle
show general disposition among those
unfavorable to ballot reform to charge it
all to the law. The fact is that, whatever
defects there may be in the law, the pres
ent difficulty is created entirely outside Of
the enactment
The present trouble arises wholly from
the size of the ticket The law does not
call for any such ticket The standard of
the act can be met by ticket less than q
quarter the size Of the ballot reported to be
fixed upon. The sole responsibility for the
adoption of such cumbrous official ballot
that it threatens to disfranchise large
number of the people rests in the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Whether this has been done simply as
an effort of the politicians on both sides to
break down the law, or is, as Chairman
Reeder and A. Nevin Pomeroy assert, a
Democratic scheme to grab the State,
may be matter of conjecture. The will
ingness of politicians to break the law
down has been quite evident, in some
other steps. 1t would be bolder game to
use the muddle for stealing the vote of the
State as averred in the affidavits publish ed
yesterday.
However that may be, the Secretary of the
Commonwealth, who is also Chairman of
the National Democratic Committee, will
have to bear the responsibility of wan
tonly DISTINGUISHING a large number of the
voters of Pennsylvania, unless he promptly
reduces the official ballot to reasonable
size

A MATTER OF HISTORY.

The assertion of Whitelaw Reid that the
Republican party freed "the slave, saved
the nation, paid the debt and pensloned
the soldier" moves the New York World
to inquire "what were the Democratic
generais-the ablest and most successful
in the armies East and West-and the
hundreds of thousands of Democratic
soldiers doing all this tlme?"
1t is we'll to pay some regard to the
truth of history, even in campaign talk.
Now whether the World means those who
were Democrats before the war; or those
who have become Democrats since the
war, the fact remains that they supported
the Republican policy and were practically
Republicans-and generally avowedly so
on the war question. This is placed be-
yond dispute by two great facts. First,
the Democratic national platform during
the war declared against it, and called for
the withdrawal of troops from the South
ern territory; second, in every case where
soldiers in the field were permitted to vote,
the vote was Republican by something
like twenty to one.
There are many Democrats to-day who
aided in carrying forward the war to
successful termination and are entitled to
credit for it. But it is indisputabIe that
the Republican party was the party OF the
war. 1t is no less so that those who aided
in that great struggle had to do so by
separating from the Democratic party
which as an organization opposed and dis
couraged the wal.

ACOrEMPoRaRY,s QUERIES,

The esteemed New YORK Sun wishes
THE DISPATCH to inform it of the provis-
ion in the laws of Congress "overruling
and superseiing the quarantine estab-
lished at the port of New York by the
laws of the State of New York" We are
always glad to oblige our esteemed cotem
porary with information of this sort.
There is no such law, and THE DISPATCH
has not asserted that there was.
What THE DISPATCH pointed out was
that under the Constitution, the national
authority being supreme, the officer
charged with execution of the United
States quarantine regulations outranked
the officer charged with the State regula-
tions. The representative of the national
authority has power under the act of
April %, 1878, revived under the opinion
of Judge Folger, Attorney General Gar
land and Attorney General Miller on June
2, 1888, by limitation of the repeating
act. Under that law the United States
quarantine official has not the power to
overrule or supersede the State quaran-
tine. We do not understand that there
was any idea of his doing so. The issue
as it was stated was the power of DR..
Hamilton to inspect a vessel which DR..
Jenkins disputed. To do so, and to inn
pose additional precautions to those
ordered by the State official. is not over
ruling or superseding the State quaran-
tine; it is adding to It, If Dr. Hamilton
had ordered vessel released from quaran-
tine against DR.. Jenkins authority that
would have been very different matter
The esteemed San further inquiries of us
"who it was that Captain Bunsby advised
to overhaul little work called the Con-
stitution of the United States?" 1t affords
us further pleasure to say that Captain
Buns5y sheds and will continue to shed
the broad light of his advice on the entire
Englsh-speaking world, with rights of
translation in addition. That philosophers
catholic counsel to overhaul the hook
and when found make a note on" is
peculiarly pertinent in the discussion of
the relative authority of State and gen.
eral governments in matters touching the
admission of persons and property at the
ports of this country. The book to be
Overhauled in all such cases is the Con-
stitution of the United States.

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY. OCT. ., 1892.
TWENTY-FOUR PAGES,
THE CALL TO ARMS.

Last nights parades in Pittsburg marked
the opening of the circus element of this
years campaign not only for this city but
in the whole country. The opening comes
unwontedly late this year. Hitherto the
campaign has been distinetiyely one of
education, devoted purely to the discussion
of political principles. And it is to be
hoped and expected that this feature will
be preserved to the end. There is of
course certain amount of value in the
parade, as a vehicle for the expression of
personal and individual beliefs EN- masse
in this or that political creed. But
for the most part the donning of
meaningless uniforms and the blow
ing of tin horns is merely
a concession to antiquated custom and
the popular demand for street excite
meGts. In the notices carried there would
be more valre, if it were not that those of
them which are true find better circula-
ton in the press or on the platform, and
the necessity for brevity is conducive to
emotional bitterness rather than logical
truth.
Any attempt to compare the relative
strength of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties b these parts from the turn
out last night would be manifestly ridicu-
lous. The two sparades were utterly dis
similar in their Organization. The Demo-
cratic procession was the result of united
rally of all the local clubs over wide
area, some Of the marchers having come
even from Wheeling On the other hand,
the Republican display was practically
the unaided effort of the Americus Club.
The most notable part of the Demo-
cratic demonstration" was the extent to
which the local labor troubles had brought
aeceSsions to its ranks, and the promi-
nence given TO that part of
the question. The presen of these
workmen marching under the auspices of
free trade party can only be accounted
for by temporary desire to
take the opposite side of politics
even at the expense of their own interests
to that upheld by the employers with
whom they are at variance on the ques-
ton of remuneration. 1t was clear that
there is still room for great deal of in
struction.

CONGRESSMAN HARTER,s sQUIKM.


The latest attempt on the part of the
Democracy to slip away from the real
meaning Of their State bank currency
platform comes from Congressman NJ D.
Harter, who is given by some Democratic
journals the undesirable paternity OF that
bantling. Mr.. Harter attempts to show
how State bank currency could be made
safe. But he has to admit that under the
Democratic plan Of throwing the whole
matter into the hands of forty-four differ
ent Legislatures, there Is no guarantee OF
such security. He takes refuge in the as
sersion that If worthless or unsecured cur
rency were issued 1t would not circulate.
He argues:
Say that Mississippi should pass law au-
thorizing banks to Issue money inadequately
secured. II could not oven get circulation
in the town In which it was Issued, for 1t
would be constantly returned to the bank
for redemption.
Ii this were true, it would reduce the
great Democratic plan for increasing the
circulation to the proposition which
would defeat itself by making the currency
so bad that it would not circulate But it
is not true. The bank notes could not be
returned to the bank for redemption un-
less they had first been taken by some one
in good faiGh and for value received As
is well known the common people, the
masses who are Ignorant of the status OF
banks, are those who have to accept the
bank notes and on whom the loss falls
when the wildcat establishment concludes
that it will pay better to shut up than to
continue paying its notes.
1t is possible that n0toriously unsafe
bank might not be able to get out much
of a circulation in its own town. That
would produce the obvious result of max
ing it necessary to float such currency by
sending it to places further away. Here
we see the great vice of the system in that
it necessarily discredits the notes OF good
banks with those Of bad unless all are
taken on the happy go-lucky plan which
prevailed prior to 1857. A man who gets
a bill of national bank in Oregon does
not trouble himself about the assets Of
that distant concern. He knows that the
notes are good whether the bank has any
assets or not. A Western Pennsylvania
could take note of the Bank of Pittsburg
with the utmost confidence; but an Ore
gonian could not be expected to know
whether the Bank of Pittsburg's note was
as good as gold, or whether it was worth
less.
The Democratic proposition must either
open the way to an almost unlimited i'm
position on the public, or the currency
which it contempiates must fail COM
pletely of its purpose by its own worth.
lessness. Either supposition is sufficient
to reveal the unreliability of that party on
none tary and economic measures.

THE DIFFERENCE.

In one sense the present campaign has
been educational 1t has educated the
public tympanum into state of antagon-
ism to the parrot-like cry of the free
traders that the ''tariff is a tax" and
therefore something peculiarly detestabIe.
Both Candidate Cleveland and Senator
Hill have taken the pains to
expressly declare that a tariff is
necessary to pay the expenses of the
Government These amount to nearly
$500, 900 yearly, and will continue to
grow whether the country be under Dem
ocratic or Republican rule. In repudiating
the free traders who are opposed to all
tariffs because "they are tax" Messrs.
Cleveland and Hill sound the signal to
the organs and orators of their party to
stop the Wattersonian free trade CRY, and
we will not again hear from that quarter
so much indiscriminate denunciation of
the tariff as ''tax."
So we find, four weeks before the polls
are opened. the Democrats, through their
chief candidate, conceding tina. there must
beatariff; that the expenses of the Govern
ment must be raised that way; and
the only question remaining between
Messrs. Cleveland and Hill and their R.
publican antagonists is as to how to levy
this tariff. There is no serious intention
that the expenses of the Government are
to be done away with. If anyone thinks
of that the appropriations by the last
House, which had nearly 15O of majority
and whose appropriation bill was quite up
to the Republican standard, would dispel
this notion.
The point of difference now turns upon
the question of schedule. Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Hill talk of "tarlff for revenue
only" while the Republicans say "Yes,
we must raise the revenue, but let us SO
distribute the tariff that we shall help
American industries By putting it mostly
upon such foreign articles as compete
with those we make at home" Such
and no more, is virtually what protection
means The country can understand pro-
lection, because we have had years of
trial of it; our great industries have been
built up under that policy. But exactly
what tariff for revenue only" means
the country does not understand; for II
the same amount Of money has to be
raised in any event, the-a 's 'S-ody to ex-
plain why it should We'd upon
