MOI THE RIGHT WAY.

1t is reported that an ordinance will be
introduced in Councils, with committed s
affirmative recommendation, prohibiting
the use of bituminouS coal under boilers
in the residence section of the city east of
Miltenberger street. According to the
statement of the ordinance it is put in a
shape which would make the abolition OF
smoke burden instead of benefit
If it were not possible to reduce the
smoke from bituminouS coal under boilers
to incOnsiderable minimum this PROPOSE
tiOn would have good deal of force But
that is not the case. Numerous plants in
the city are constantly demonstrating in
daily practice the ability to use bituminous
coal without producing an injurious
quantity of smoke. True, there are al
legged appliances which do not do what
they claim; but any man in q half DAVIS
time can by personal inspection satisfy
himself as to what appliances are success
full and what are not.
This being the case, why subject the
eighty establishments included in this sec
ton to the hardship of prohibiting them
the use of Western Pennsylvania great

which is founded on the usefulness of BIZ
luminous coal, discredit that staple by an
enactment which virtually asserts that
our coal cannot be used without blacken-
ing the skies when the contrary is daily
demonstrated within our limits? An in
telligent understanding of Pittsburg's po-
S,tiOn should stimulate the assertion in
every measure of the fact shown in actual
practice that bituminous coal can be used
with a consumption of nine-tenths of the
smoke.
The measure as it is slated cannot be ac-
cepted as an intelligent movement against
the smoke nuisance. If it contains pro-
viso that establishments using appliances
which do away with not less than eighty
per cent of the smoke are not subject to
the enactment it will be equitable But
on that basis why not include the down.
town sections, where the use of the same
appliances is equally practicable, and
where the need for them is twenty-fold
greater?

as possessed of so bad memory that it
cannot recall the fact that the Dauphin
county court in full decision held that
the clause of the Constitution involved
was self-enforcing; that it meant exactly
what its plain and unmistakable language
indicated; that the deals before the Court
were in violation of the Constitution, and
that therefore an injunction was issued
against them. 1t also confesses ignorance
of the further important fact that this de-
cision was an appeal affirmed by the Su-
preme Court of the State
Since our cotemporary is unable to re-
member these important facts, it is natural
that it should likewise be unable to note
that the suppression of the competing line
involved in this litigation was carried out
in equal defiance of the provision of the
Constitution and the mandates of the
courts.

MAIL CARRIERS HARpsHIpa
They Take Cold Journey Across Lake
Michigan's Icy Waters

PETosKEY, Feb. ,26-Paul and Oliver La

Cross Village for their island home on the

after three days of great hardships. Leav-
ing Cross Village on Monday morning they

dropped through into the icy waters of Lake
Michigan, and narrowly escaped drowning.
On reaching the pier they found themselves
imprisoned there, and, gaining entrance to
the station, they remained there until
Wednesday morning, when they resumed
their journey homeward on ice of but 90
hours formation. Upon arriving there they
found that a rescue and search party, fully
equipped, was prepared to leave the follow

FoRGETrULNEss OF FACTS.

Another example of the persistence OF
error with regard to the law bearing OH
corporate combinations and the efforts to
suppress competition is furnished by re.
marks of the Philadelphia Bulletin in con.
nection with the action of the Attorney
General on the Reading deal 1t asserts
that the clause of the Constitution forbid
ding the purchase or control of competing
lines ''has not yet been subjected to judi
cial Interpretation, and reinforces that
assertion with the further statement that
'the famous South Penn and Beach Creek
suits were dropped before the courts could
pass judgment on them"

rate department of street cleaning with
an elevation of sound to the titles, and
presumably corresponding increase of
salaries paid 1t plans out the division of
labor and fixes the responsibility in the
most beautiful wagon paper But the
exact value of all this reconstruction OF
the bureau is shown by the fact that New
York has already street cleaning depart
ment with power to clean the streets
effectively and economically if it were run
for that purpose.
But it is notorious that is not run for
that purpose. 1t is run for the distribution
of political patronage. Men do not hold
position under it by faithful work at clean
ing the streets, but by faithful work at
cleaning out the opposition at the polls.
The consequence is that the taxpayers get
a minimum of street cleaning in return for
a maximum of expenditure. 1t might be
pertinent to enact that employment
should be given only on the basis of eff
cient service, if there were any hope that
such law would be respected and if there
were not such law already.
The men who resort to the grand
panacea of introducing bill should re-
member, in this case at least, that all the
legislation of a session cannot change the
nature of the practical politician. AS long
as city government is operated on the
spoils system its work will be negligently
done. When men are put in Office who
run it on business basis there is little
need of more legislation. If the people of

point they have the right to go dirty.

THE BERLIN PORTENT.

The riots at Berlin serve notice on the
powers of Europe that the reaction from
the rule of military empires has set in, and
that the threat to the peace of the Cont
nent is not so much from the quarrels Of
monarchs as from the popular unrest and
dissatisfaction.
1t is a surprise to find the Socialist out
break making itself felt in Berlin, where
the youngest of the Emperors was sup
posed to hold a firm grasp on the reins of
power. But the notice thus served upon
the Cabinets of Europe that popular dis
satisfaction can thus assert itself against
the Hohenzollern power shortly after it
has passed its zenith, is very forcible
one. 1t demonstrates that no military
government can sustain itself on any other
basis than the welfare and prosperity of
its people
1t is hardly possible yet to predicate of
the Berlin. outbreak, in the language of
the Frenchman of a century ago, that it
has passed the stage of rebellion and be-
come revolution. But the sudden and
unexpected display OF popular strength
and popular dissatisfaction, with the in
cidental details of the riots, have strong
resemblance to the methods by which the
French people successfully overthrow
four mOnarchies until the Republic was
placed on permanent basis. 1t remains
to be seen whether the democratic senti-
ment in Berlin has become strong enough
to grapple with the monarchy, and
whether the Emperor's crazy instruction
to his soldiers that they must shoot down
their fathers and brothers at his orders
has disaffected the troops or weakened
their discipline sufficiently to paralyze
that arm of the Government. The pre-
sumption is rather in favor of the belief
that the German discipline will prevail,
and that the rioters will be suppressed by
the military power that has been made
the chief feature Of the German Empire.
Even with that result the disclosure of
popular impression and popular discon-
tent in this outbreak reveal the causes of
what may yet change the social organiza-
ton Of Europe. Imperial craftsmanship
must alter its methods or prepare for
storms.

CHICAGO, Feb. GA conference of the

held at the Sherman House last
night. The object Of the asso-
citation is to ascertain reliable facts
about climates and health resorts for the
benefit of the public and the guidance
of the medical profession in America and
Europe DR.. E. NJ. Hale read paper on the
climates of Florida. He said the physician

flying the part. of the State shows an igno-
rance that may result in injury, Florida hav-
ing several climates. In Upper Florida
rheumatism, catarrh, and bronchitis do
well. In all sections the patient should avoid
the low lands, the borders of rivers, and the
swampy coast. In Lower Florida, the speaker
said, is the favorite region for nerveless and
nervous men and women, broken down in
mind and body from the intense strain of
business and social demands in the Northern
States. He denied the popular idea that the
whole of Florida is malarious. He denied
also that dryness of the air is always desir-
able in disease, sunshine being OF moro i'm
portance than dryness in consumption and
in all nervous diseases.
DIR. F. w. Seward, of New York, gave his
experience with the climate of New Mexico

clearly depicted the advantage of this
region for those suffering from neurasthenia

HARRISON OUT FOR RECREATION.
He and His Family Take Trip to the
Ocean Shore.

NORFOLK, VA, Feb. 26.-President Harri-
son, Mrs. Harrison, their two grandchildren,
Mrs. Bimmick and two servants arrived
here this afternoon on a special train for
Virginia Beach, where the President and
party will spend week in rest and recrea-
tion. When the train drew into the station
here the President was salutcd with salvo
of 81 guns from the battery of the Norfolk
Light Artille ry Blues, the crack veteran
company of Norfolk. A large crowd was at the
station to meet the distinguished visitors.
The party was taken in charge by General
V. d. Groner, who escorted them to Virginia
Beach, where they arrived for 9 O'Clock
supper. The President seemed to enjoy his
run through Middle and Tidewater Virginia,
and when he retired tonight was not at all
fatigued. The weather, which has been bad
for several days, is clear and pleasant this
evening. .-- F..

CITIZEN CLEVELAND'S ADDRESS.

THE enterprising reporter who manages to
pick the lock on Citizen Cleveland's mouth
will be able to command almost any salary
he wants.-Detroh Tribune.
IT is not the speech of politician, but the
utterance of a statesman, and it contains
nothing that can be offensive to members of
any political party.-Mil,rdukee Journal
Mr. CLEvELAND's address needs no praise.
1t is one of his strong, grave, patriotic
speeches, inspired by his American spirit
and his love of truth.-Edlsds city Times.
SENTIMENT in Our National Life" was
Mr.. Cleveland's fine theme at Ann Arbor
Mr. Cleveland is becoming the exponent of
the best sentiment of his party. 1t is apity
that spoils-loving marauder has destroyed
so much of his opportunity for usefulness
Des Moines Leader.
Mr. CLEvELAND's speech to the students of
Michigan University was full Of sturdy COM
mon sense and wisdom. Exhorting the
Young men to take an interest in politics, he
at the same time pointed out the only way
in which the interest may be kept altve-by
breaking down monopoly and correcting
the unjust distribution of wealth.-St. Louis
Post Dispatch.
THE political truths cxpounded by the ex-
President were without tint of partisan
ship Their adoption calls for a restoration
U
poses which actuated the fathers of the
country, by eliminating that trickery,
manipulation, demagogy and deceit which
are menace to the free exercise of the pop
uIar will.-DetroI Free Press.
Mr. CLEvELAND's address on Sentiment in
Our National Life," delivered before the
University of Michigan yesterday, is an
earnest plea for character in politics. A
single sentence is the key of the whole adj
dress 1t is this: "Under our institutions
and scheme of governments goodness, such
as Washington's. is the best guaranteefor
the faithful discharge of public duty."-S.
Louis Republic
HARDLY anything is more necessary at the
present time than revival of genuine
and powerful sentiment of patriotism among
the people OF the land, that kind of senri-
mcnt which is kindred with the whole spirit
of Washington's life and had another noble
illustration in the life of Lincoln. To use
the occasion for intoxicating the value of
such sentiment and the need of cultivating
it was an excellent service, and it was ex-
cellentiy performed.-Nerc York Times.

OHIO seems to be in danger of taking a
step backward. Last year the Legislature
passed the Hysell bill which put the Ohio
State University at Columbus on a firm foot
ing financially and in position to speedily
become the equal, and perhaps the superior,
of Ann Arbor, Cornell and other institutions
founded on similar terms. A bill is before
the present Legislature to so change the
Hysell law as to scatter the fund established
for the Ohio State University among half a
dozen minor non-sectarian institutions.
State Senator Nichols, of Belmont county,
who is fighting for the change, says he will
win. If so it will be a misfortune not only
for Ohio but for the cause of higher educa-
ton. Senator Nichols would substitute a
fusillade Of popguns for the concentrated
energy of heavy field pieces.
