THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT.

The conduct of the city of Hamburg
with regard to the cholera before its out
break was such as to divert from it that
which would otherwise be quick to re-
spond to the needs of city so afflicted.
A municipality so ruled by the spirit of
gain that it proposed to let the infected
traffic pass through it to all parts of the
world is likely to find the sympathy of
the world thus threatened slow to respond
in its time of need. Hamburg recognized
the danger of the Russian emigration by
providing that it was to be isolated only
while in that city, and at the same time
declared Its carelessness for the safety of
the world at large by giving its steamships
employment in carrying the infected emf
grafton wherever it wished to &C.
But Hamburg has paid an awful penalty
for this greed. The peril which she was
willing the rest of the world should un-
dergo has seized upon her citizens Thou
sands of them are dead and as many more
have suffered the agonies of the disease.
Her commerce is suspended. Her steam
ers are under suspicion and tied up at
quarantine all over the globe. There
have been few more impressive instances
of direct retribution that that which fell
upon that commercial city for its readi-
ness to make its own gain superior to the
safety of the world at large.
The sentiment of Christian civilization
should no longer harbor feelings of en-
nifty toward city under so fearful a pen
atty. If she has offended grievously she
has suffered terribly. A German-Ameri-
can relief committee has been organized
in New York for the aid of the afflicted
city. The triumph of the Christian spirit
of the age will be shown when this coun-
try returns good for evil by sending of its
abundance to relieve the needs of the
stricken city at the mouth Of the Elba.

TWELVE PAGES
NO POLITICS IN IT.

Anyone who can see political motives in
the demand for the protection of the pub
lie from a cholera epidemic is possessed of
a narrowness of vision and pettiness of
spirit which is unenviable. THE DISPATCH
has certainly never known politics in its
urgent calls for putting the State Board of
Health on war footing
We have strongly blamed the parsimony
and stupidity of the Legislature in refus-
ing to provide the State Board with an
appropriation for such emergencies
Having made it clear that the original
blame lay with that body, we have not
scrupled to point out that the Governor
failed to meet the necessities of the time
when the threat of cholera Is at hand.
The duty is essentially a governmental one.
The Governor could raise the funds more
easily than any other person. 1t is dis
creditable to the State that its health
agencies have been compelled to apply to
private wealth for the needed funds.
As to the claim that the Republican
Legislature would not support the Gov
ernor if he had raised this money, it is
only necessary to say that any legislator
who refused to, honor bills incurred to
protect the State against public disaster
would be forever condemned in the eyes
of the people.

MOUNTAIN FORESTS AND PARKS.

Mr.. Austin Corbin is urging the adop-
ton by the State of New Hampshire of
the policy of establishing mountain parks,
which shall serve the double purpose of
preserving the forests and fostering the
beauties of White Mountain scenery Mr.
Corbin backs up his suggestion by offer
ing to contribute one-twentieth the
cost of State park up to the limit of
81, 600, ,OOO.,
The suggestion is a good one for any
State so fortunate as to possess mountain
districts and so negligent as to have per-
mitted them to be ravaged of their timber.
Pennsylvania possesses both these quail
ties to an eminent degree; but the sug-
gestion has an especial pertinence to her
because it can be given close connection
with another subject of more than
aesthetic importance. That is the water
supply of cities
1t is daily becoming more and more evi-
dent that the time is coming when the
larger cities of the State must 60 to
mountain districts for pure water. The
energetic efforts of Mayor Kennedy, of
Allegheny, to extend the infuent pipes of
that city up the Allegheny river to where
they will escape sewage is an excellent
expedient; but it will be only temporary.
1t will not be very far into the next GEN.
tury before the Allegheny river will be
sewer from this city to Warren. That
condition can now almost be affirmed of
the Monongahela. 1t is a question of time
only when the immense population from
McKeesport down must unite to obtain
pure water supply from the mountains.
Philadelphia is at this point now, while
the smaller cities scattered throughout
the State are not far from it. -
1t is evident that the supply, of popu-
lation like this community must be taken
from some mountain stream with water
shed of considerable magnitude. Every
such watershed acquired by city would
for its own purposes be put into scientific
ally cultivated forests for the best yield of
steady flow of water. With proper po-
lice regulations such forests could be
made mountain parks, spots of natural
beauty for travellers as well as of practical
service for the city population. The
three great functions of forestry, mount
ain scenery and water supply brought to-
gether should command thorough and
careful attention.
Legislation should look to the future
sufficiently to aid such work. The State
should encourage forestry by relieving
from taxation mountain land now prac-
ticaIly barren when it is planted with
timber and properly maintained. 1t
might add to the attractiveness of the
State by providing for the custody and
maintenance of mountain parks. And
it could provide for growing necessity
by authorizing cities to acquire mountain
watersheds for their water supply, and
giving power for their maintenance as
forests and parks under the authority and
even assistance of the State

TWO GREAT STEAMERS.

The information from abroad that a
transatlantic steamship company has con-
tracted for the construction of steam
ship that will be the biggest ever built
suggests an interesting comparison.
Nearly forty years ago an enterprising
engineer got up company and built
steamship to beat the world. She visited
most important ports and for some years
was one of the ocean wonders. But
when it came to putting her into practical
service the methods of the age condemned
her. She was too big, too unwieldy, too
costly to keep up, it was said, and after
sinking from glory to the obscure services
of cattle ship she was broken up and
sold for old iron.
Yet of late years the steamship has been
gradually creeping up to the standard of
the Great Eastern. After thirty-eight
years the size which was condemned by
the practical science of the SOS and SOS is
to be slightly surpassed in one respect
The modern leviathan will be twenty feet
longer than her predecessor but will be
eighteen feet less in beam, while the
horsepower to drive her will be 4, 800,
against the Great Eastern's 10000 1t is
probable that her tonnage will be some
what smaller than that of the older vessel,
SO that the claim of beating the record for
size is open to dispute.
The gradual advance in shipbuilding
to vessels of the size of the Great Eastern
is calculated to raise the inquiry whether
the main fault of that unfortunate vessel

GOING BACK ON IT'S PLATFORM.

1t is beginning to be high time for the
Democratic candidate to produce that
long-delayed letter of acceptance in order
to terminate the agony of doubt in the
minds of the party as to what particular
stripe of free trade it is voting for. The
returns up to date are such as to leave the
average Democrat afloat without COM
pass on the sea of uncertainty.
The declaration of the Democratic Con-
vention was unmistakable-any idea of
protection is unconstitutional. To levy the
tariff with any regard to the interests of
labor or industry is something that the
Democrats reject with indignation The
tariff must be levied only for revenue.
On this basis the campaign opened, and
that plank has been indorsed by Mr.
Henry George and Mr.. Henry Watterson,
the former with an evident impression
that the revenue tariff is the single tax
his soul has yearned for, and the latter
with the enthusiastic prophecy that the
Democrats will put back the tax on sugar.
But change has been coming over the
spirit of Democracy The Connecticut
Democratic Convention went back on the
national platform with declaration that
the interests of labor and domestic in
dustry should be consulted in levying
duties. Mr.. Bourke Cochran has as
serted that the tariff should be so ad-
justed that 1t should consist as nearly as
possible of the difference between the
labor cost of an article produced abroad
and an article produced here, which is
exactly the proposition voted down by the
Chicago convention. Mr.. George Ticknor
Curtis comes to the front to repudiate in
toto the constitutional theory of Calhoun
revived in the Democratic platform.
Finally comes David Bennett Hill assert

planting a knife under its fifth rib by an
argument in favor of incidental pro-
lection.

4 GRAND MARINE PICTURE
VIII Be the Great Parade In the New York
Harbor Next Month.

VIII DO tnc UroaI faraQe In the new IOrk
Harbor Next Month.
NEW YORK, Sept. sL-[S, ecial IAN oflcer
from the Navy Department at Washington
was at the navy yard to-day to inform him
self relative to the wishes of the committee
having in charge the marine parade of Octo-
Der II as to the part the navy should take in
it. Lieutenant Commander Henry B. Mans
field will superintend the naval part of the
parade, and it is certain that the steel
cruiser Philadelphia, the double-turreted
monitor M1antonomoh, the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius, the torpedo boat Cushing and the
navy tug Narkeeta will take part 1t is
also possible that the Atlanta can be made
ready. Commander Henry Erben, COM
mandant Of the navy yard, will have COM
mand of the feet and the Philadelphia will
probably be his temporary flagship.
The officer from Washington was asked if
the cruise outlined for Rear Admiral Cher
ardi would not Interfere with the arranging
OF rendezvous at Hampton Roads and the
naval review in this harbor in May next.
He said the matter had been fully talked
over by Admiral Gherardi and Secretary
Tracy and Assistant Secretary Soley before
the Admiral started for San Francisco a
week ago.. The Admiral had given a general
outline of what his plans would be, and dur
ing the cruise he will devote much of his
spare time to completing the programme,
80 lar as it can be done before it is known
absolutely how many vessels will be sent
here from other nations. He added:
admiral Gherardi win probably reach
San Francisco tomorrow, and will at once
make his arrangements to go to San Diego
with the Baltimore, his flagship, the San
Francisco and Charleston, to take part in
the anniversary celebration of the discovery
of that point by B. Cabrillo in 1912. He will
be joined there by the Boston and Yorktown
and then the feet will proceed on its special
cruise among the Central and South Amer
lean ports. He expects to arrive at Hainp-
ion Roads about the latter part of February,
by hich time 1t will be known how many
foreign ships will come and then the pro-
gramme can be completed.
The Admiral expects so large a feet as to
make it inadvisable to have the series of
have in this harbor. The United States will
have fleet of at least rs vessels of the new
navy. The vessels from Mexico, Chile, Peru,
the Argentines, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Great
Britain. Germany, France, Russia and Aus
tria will make gathering Of nearly 100
more, IL not above a hundred. Admiral
Gherardi's present idea is that this biy fleet,
in order to present good display and avoid
accidents. will be moored bow and stern
fl ON off Bay Ridge and stretch along in line
up the Hudson river. This will enable the
President, accompanied by his cabinet, the
foreign ministers and other representatives
commodated on one of the evessels-probably
the Baltimore-to pass In review Of the
whole line and receive the honors due to
them. imagine it will be much larger than
anyone has anticipated, and will be the
grandest marine picture ever seen.

LET THE BENEFICIARIEs PAY.

Our esteemed cotemporary, the Press,
commenting upon the proposed opening
of O'Hara street, says that the city should
pay the damages for the cutting through
of such buildings as will be interfered
with. If this be part of the programme,
it is as well to understand about it now
The plan of opening new street between
Penn and the river as prepared by Chief
Bigelow is highly commendable; but the
one particular point which should be un-
derstood beforehand is that not the city at
large but the property benefited must
foot the bill.
The principle of the property benefited
paying for improvements, in place of the
general taxpayer, is at the root of our
whole street system in Pittsburg. All the
streets now existing in Pittsburg have
been opened, built and paid for that way.
1t would be a new and inequitable de-
parture to have the general taxpayer pay
the damages that the opening of O'Hara
street might entail, while the abutting
property reaped the benefit -s
In the much-fought widening of Dia-
mond street the property benefited was
assessed to pay for the property damaged
and taken, and the proposal to take down
the "hump" also contemplated the bene-
fciaries, in place of the general tax
payer, meeting the cost. If the
idea is now entertained of intro
ducing new principle whereby
the general taxpayer is to pay for special
Improvements, to special property, that
principle will have to be much more
widely canvassed before the public will
indorse it. In the meantime it will not do
to make fish of one and flesh of another;
and. however desirable O'Hara street
may be, payment must be made for it by
the property abutting whose value will be
immensely increased, not by Jones, Smith,
Brown or Robinson, whose only concern
with it will be to walk or drive it say once
in twelve-month.
Haussmann did an immense lot of good
to Paris by opening fine streets and i'm
proving old ones. There is room for simi-
lar work in Pittsburg, as our cotemporary
urges, in opening O'Hara street, widening
Diamond and taking down the ''hump. I"
But in these, as in other cases, let those
who reap the direct benefit be willing to
bear the cost

LAYING FOR LEGISLATORS,

The Louisiana Lottery Trying to Defeat
North Dakota's Proposed Amendment.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 2L-The startling state
ment is made here that the Louisiana Lot
terry has not given up all hopo of gaining q
foothold in North Dakota, and that the
wires are already being pulled in certain
legislative districts in order to defeat the
amendments to the constitution which will
come up for action at the session of the Leg
islature this winter, forever prohibiting the
granting of any charter to lottery. An
amendment must pass two consecutive ses-
sions OF the Legislature and then be sub
mitted to vote of the people before becom-
ing part OF the organic law, and If the bill
could be defeated in the Legislature this
winter it would be five years before it would
again come up for action.
If the bill for the amendment to the con-
stitutfon goes through the Legislature this
winter, 1t will forever stop any hopes the
lottery company may entertain of gaining a
foothold in this State as it would carry at
the election by an overwhelming vote. Ac-
cordlngly, the plan Is to manage to stif1e the
amendment bill by preventing it's ever COM
ing to a vote, which would at least have the
effect of leaving a clear field tor the corpor-
alton to get in It's work on the Legislators.
