THE EFFECTUAL METHOD.

When the Presidents order was issued
for the detention of immigrant steamer;
at quarantine for 20 days most of the At
lantic lines declared their intention to sus.
pend their immigrant business. l. is now
announced that one or two of the steam
ship companies will devote certain of the
steamers entirely to the transportation OF
immigrants, and will continue to bring
over Russians, Poles and Arabs, with the
incidental cholera germs, subject to the
2O-day quarantine.
This practical declaration that the
mighty dollar overbalances, in the minds
of the steamship companies, the scruples
which some people might feel in spread
ing an epidemic shows the need of the
measure urged by THE DISPATCH. In
deed Mr.. Blaine's proposition is the really
adequate one. Stop communication al
together until the danger is over. From
every side we have the warning that no
care will be taken by external agencies to
avoid the Transmission of germs.
The case is eminently one in
which those are protected who pro-
tect themselves. With immigration

everything that can carry the germs sus-
pended, and with al travellers turned
back OF held at quarantine till their in
nocuousness is demonstrated beyond per-
adventure, the cholera may be kept out
of the country. Anything less than this
makes the chances of exemption from the
epidemic extremely hazardous.
OF course such suspension of COM
munication will be great inconvenience.
The present quarantine, we are informed,
is regarded as extremely vexatious by the
passengers on board the quarantine
steamers. But what are the heinconvenience
and loss Of suspension of communi-
cations for few weeks, or even months,
to the devastation and death of an epi-
demic of cholera spread all over the coun-
try?

ARBITRATION DOESN'T ARBITRATE

The resort to board of arbitration to
decide the deadlock produced by the con-
fierce system as to the nomination of a
Republican candidate for Judge in the
Butler-Lawrence district is not succeed
ing so far. Ex-Senators Lee and Ander-
son accepted the appointment, as neither
of them would be placed in prejudicial
position by doing so. But the difficulty
was in securing the third arbitrator, who
must really cast the deciding vote. Judge
Stowe very properly declined to be drawn
into factional politics. Congressman Stone
has also declined On the discovery that he
had been pledged to both sides by those
supposed to be his friends
This feature of the case is noteworthy
for two reasons. In the first place it
seems that arbitration is consented to on
the belief of the rival candidates that
each can secure arbitrators in his favor
An impartial arbitration is not sought, but
rather packed one, when the candidates
select the third Judge each on secret in
formation that the man named will decide
In his favor. Then, too, the point is
brought out clearly that the arbitrators.
VIII decide the question solely by their
individual preferences, friendship. ties or
obligation to the contestants There is
nothing else to decide by. Under the
stupid conventions of the conferee system
each candidate owns the vote of his coun-
ty, and each county exactly balances the
other. The whole thing resolves itself
down to this conclusion: that the personal
preference of a third arbitrator entirely
outside the district is to govern the nom-
ination while the Republican voters of the
district have little or nothing to say to it.
This incongruity points the way to the
proper settlement of the question as sug-
gested by the Philadelphia Press Let the
Republican voters of the district decide
This can be done by a popular election to
be held not as of opposing counties. but as

A WEAK REMEDY,

J Mr.. Herbert Welsh in recent article in
kthe Forum advocates as a reform for
political corruption a law requiring
political committees to publish the amount
of subscriptions sent them and the use
made of the money. The object to be at
tanned by such law is extremely desir-
able; but the public common sense may be
pardoued for doubling if the remedy
would be effectuaL
The proposition as specific for the
cure of corruption is like Rob Roy's goat
skin purse, which by an intricate arrange
ment pulled the trigger of pistol if any
one attempted to open it, but through the
bottom of which any thief could cut with
a sharp knife. If the law were obeyed it
would furnish evidence against any
corruption; but it is astonishing
to find anyone who believes that
political corruptionists would be so simple
as to obey it. This idea recognizes the
existence of men who will break the law
1y buying votes, but imagines that they
will respect another lawintended to expose
them but much safer to disobey by the SIM
pie expedients of cooking their accounts,
or having the corruption fund put in the
hands of outside parties. 1t is almost as
if anyone should propose to suppress bur-
glary by law requiring the nocturnal
gentry to publish each week list of the
houses they have broken into.
Political corruption can be abolished in
Just one way. That is by so educating
the public conscience that men will
neither furnish nor take money in the
purchase of votes. The thing being GRIM
inal in the first place the addition of
tones of fresh legislation will not improve
matters

NURGENT APPEAL.

The interview with a prominent physi-
clan of this city on the subject of cholera,
published in another column, demands
close attention. First of all is pointed out
the change which has resulted in the treat
ment of diseases from modern science,
based upon the principle of assisting
nature instead of attempting either to
thwart it directly or simply to alleviate
the patients pains. Then the particular
application of this principle to cholera is
described. But the most important part
of the advice is found in the fervid strength
of its advocacy to citizens en- naasss by
households and as individuals, to adopt
all possible sanitary precautions to pre-
vent the advent of cholera, and every
other disease that breeds in dirt and foul
atmospheres. This is a strong appeal, but
the subject is one which demands Ian
guage of the strongest and action the
most thorough.
The doctor quoted shows forcibly the
munity are dependent for their safety
upon the degree to which each observes
the rules of cleanliness and hygienic
decency. Anyone who neglects to set his
or her own premises in strict order vitiates
the general cleansing of the city just as
an ineficiently quarantined port or vessel
endangers the safety of the whole coun-
try. An especially urgent call is made
upon members of the medical profession
to lend their every assistance by organiz-
ing, inspecting and advising, and the call
is one which must not be neglected.
Medical men are always prompt with aid
when an epidemic arrives, and they should
be no less to the fore in the efforts neces-
sary 10 exclude disease

THE PRESIDENTS PLAIN TALK.

The free traders who have been asking
for an educational" campaign must have
found protection "primer" not mu ch to
their liking in President Harrison's letter
of acceptance. Those who think it is al
ways in place to go in for change-and
that the bark of the Democratic Chicago
platform against American manufactur-
ing industries is much worse than the bite
of Democratic President and Congress
might be-will discover matter in the
Presidents letter to change their views
All through the President handles the
vote-hunting policy of the opposi ton
without gloves, and takes up and d.sposes,
one after another, of their appeals to class
interests and class prejudice for the sake
of votes, But the paragraph in the letter
having the greatest interest for the people
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and adjacent
States is the following which touches
them Immediately:
This destructive un-American doctrine
hostility to protection for American in
dustrv)-was not held or taught by the his
toric Democratic statesmen whose fame as
American patriots has reached this genera
tion-certainly not by Jefferson or jackson.
This mad crusade .ainst American shops.
tine bitter epithers applied to American
manufacturers, the persistent disbelief of
every report of the opening of a tin plate
mill or of an increase of our foreign trade by
reciprocity, are as surprising as they are
discreditable. There Is not thoughtful
business man in the country who does not
know that the enactment into law of the
declaration of the Chicago convention on
the subject of the tariff would alone plunge
I'm fNo h,,pf ,le,A
as it has never seen; and there is not
thoughtful workingman who does not know
that it would at once enormously reduce the
amount of work to be done in this country
by the increase Of importations that would
follow and necessitate reduction of his
wages to the European standard.
President Harrison also makes bulls
eye shot in an educational way, when he
urges that Democrats, who are interested
in manufacturing business or wages, or in
any form of the results of protection, can
not afford to fool with policy which has
determination of our great industries for
its avowed object On this point he
tersely says:
If anyone suggests that this radical policy
will not be executed if the Democratic party
attains power, what shall be thought of
party that is capable of thus trifling with
great interests? The threat OF such legisla-
tfon would be only less hurtful than the fact.
A distinguished Democrat rightly described
this movement as a challenge to the pro.
tected industries to fight of externlina-
tion, ana another such rightly express ed
the logic of the situation when he in
rerpreted the Chicago platform to be an in
vitation to all Democrats holding even the
most modern protection views to so into the
Republican party.

AN ERRONEOUS POLICY.

. In an interview with regard to the re.
cent discharge of railroad laborers by the
Pennsylvania Railroad the other day an
official of that corporation stated the gen.
eral railroad policy as follows: ''Nhen
business is good and the lines are making
money much is spent on improvements.
When business is dull the opposite course
is followed" This is indisputable as q
statement of fact; although it was hoped
that the Pennsylvania Railroad had got
beyond that hand-to-mouth system OF
management. AS question of good
policy, however, it is pertinent to point
out that the course is the least far-sighted
one that any railroad can pursue.
Every such corporation as the Pennsyl-
vania knows that a period of dullness is
only the lull which will be succeeded by
the revival of business. The policy which
looks ahead will use that quiet time in
preparing for the revival. There are
numerous cogent reasons why this should
be done. Rolling stock can be repaired
and replaced, the track put in first-cass
order, and supplies of material laid in
much better when business is slack than
when it is rushing. AS mere matter of
collars and cents, the dull time is the time
when material can be bought most cheaply,
and the boom is the time when it is most
costly.
Tire greatest consideration, though, is
the fact that a iudicious policy of making
repairs and improvements when business
is slack will neutralize the fluctuations
from dullness to activity; while the policy
SO terseIy put by the official exaggerates
it. Business becomes slack, railroads dis
charge men and cease purchasing sup
plies and the dullRess is increased. Busi-
ness revives again; the railroads are short
of rolling stock; they rush into the market
with orders, and freight blockades and a
glut of orders for material follow. If the
repairs and requirements had been made
during the slack season the fuctuation
would not be nearly so severe, and the
railroads would be much better prepared
to reap the harvest when it comes.
Every railroad manager knows thatIa
certain amount must he expended for

Of the whole district. Or, better yet recog-
nizing that the conferee system affords no
real popular representation. why not hold
district convention with representation
to each voting district according to its Re-
publican vote, to which not only the pres
ent candidates but any other aspirants can
present their names?
The nomination of such convention
would represent the mass of the Republi-
can voters of the district The nomina-
ton by board of arbitration will repre-
sent the choice of merely the third
arbitrator, who is not even a resident of
the district.
