Is IT DECIDED?

The circular of invitation issued yester-
day for visit of inspection to the Neeld
farm, in the Charters Valley, tomorrow,
with reference TO the purchase of Poor
Farm, contains the statement: "As this
property will, in all probability, be chosen
for the Poor Farm, you are urged to go
with the committee for the purpose of in
specting the same
The suggestion contained in this clause.
that the selection is practically decided
upon, is open TO criticism as going long
way toward confirming the assertions that
the purchase of this property is prear-
ranged affair. The NeeId farm may be
the best property to be had for the pur-
pose; but it is not reassuring as to the i'm
partial consideration of all the properties
offered to meet such intimation that the
matter is so completely settled in advance
that the Clerk of Councils is able to
predicate its selection sin all probability"
before any action is taken.
The agitation of the press has reduced
the cost Of Poor Farm nearly $500, 900
from the original proposition. That is
doing very well; but it is no reason for
prejudging the final selection in favor of
farm 100 acres larger than is needed and
at the highest limit of price.

IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.

The Salvation Army plan for rescuing
the unemployed and degraded of London
receives new attention from the eccentric
but frank course of Henry Labouchere in
first criticizing the irregular methods of
accounting for the funds used in the work
and then testifying to the good work done
at the farm colony. The direct intima-
tions that Gen. Booths method of keeping
accounts with the donations for his project
produced an unfavorable impression. Mr..
Labouchere, not content with condemna-
ton on the principles of bookkeeping, Wis
tied the farm colony and reports that very
good work is being done. The homeless
of London are taken there and taught the
art of digging their living out of the
ground, preparatory to founding homes
for themselves in colonies. In the prose-
cution of this work the colony has in about
a year built village, brought several hun
dred acres of land under cultivation, and
has set about the task of reclaiming some
hundreds more from the sea.
1t is easy to see that the work of gather
ing the destitute on a farm of this sort and
educating them in the knowledge of self
support is great one. 1t is also quite
within the range of possible occurrences
that the leader in such work might handle
his funds without Que regard to the
science of keeping accounts, and thus fall
under the censure of bookkeeping age
But it is not wise to estimate great mis-
sionary work solely by the standard of

HARRISON NOTIFIED.

As Chairman of the committee an
pointed by the National Convention for
that purpose, Governor Mckinley yester-
day rendered President Harrison the
formal notification of his nomination for
second term. The Governor was as usual
happy in his selection of language, his
summary of the platform was able and to
the point, and his reference to it as an
american document was peculiarly ap-
propriate
The proceedings were hardly less an in
terchange of compliments between Harri-
son and Mckinley than a reciprocal recog-
milton between the President and the party
which elected him once and will do so
again. There could not be stronger evi-
dence of the unity Of the Protectionist
forces than that given in this spectacle of
cordiality between Harrison and the man
VINO ran second to him for the nomination.
The Presidents modesty as to his own
share of the administration work, and his
outspollen tribute to those who have acted
with him was becoming self-forgetful-
ness that will stand him in good stead.
The carse of Protection could only be de-
feated by treachery within its own bor-
ders, and November will show its ranks
formed in an invincible phalanx worthy of
the standard it is again to carry on to vic

THE UNIT RULE AT CHICAGO.

One of the peculiar contrasts of politics
is afforded by the determination of the
Pennsylvania delegation at Chicago to en-
force the unit rule. One of the reproaches
against the Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania is the prevalence of machine poll
tics and the supremacy of the bosses. OF
this fact the Democrats are wont to make
much, and THE DISPATCH has not
scrupled to concede its truth.
But it is also the fact that the unit rule
is one of the recognized methods of ma
chine politics and lever of the bosses.
1t denies the right of minority representa-
tion and permits the political managers to
swing the vote of an entire delegation to
suit their own interests. 1t makesa very
decided contrast, therefore, when we re-
fleet on the fact that the unit rule could
moi be used by the Republican managers
at Minneapolis but is to be fully enforced
by the Democratic leaders at Chicago.
1t makes no difference that the rule is
employed for or against the interest of a
special candidate. In the fact that this
suppression of the right of each delegate
TO act by his own convictions or in
structions is made by the Democrats and
not by the Republicans there is a clear
deduction that just at present machine
politics have a firmer hold on Pennsyl-
vania Democracy than on Pennsylvania
Republicanism.

STREET RAILWAYS ABROAD.

We are wont TO plume ourselves on the
superior conditions of this country to
those of Europe. In the main, that atti-
tude of mind may be juStifed but in some
details of public administration we oc-
casiOnally have to confess that Europe is
far ahead of u.s. The country has lately
had to take notice that in the care of
country highways we are immeasurably
behind the Old World; and recent con-
sular report on the street railway systems
of the old country shows US that we might
still learn something in that respect.
While making this assertion, it is no
more than fair to say that in some respects
the European street railways have some
thing to learn from this country. We
have long ago got rid of the multiplicity
of fares that produced the old Jingle
about ga blue trip slip for three-cent
fare; buff trip slip for four-cent fare;
a brown trip. slip for a six-cent fare
punch. brothers, punch with care" But
on comparing cur uniformity with the
variety of European cities, it is question
whether the people are the gamers. Thus
in Vienna the longest ride costs eight
cents; but the fare for the average ride of
two to three miles is three or four cents.
The regular patrons of the roads in that
city can get monthlypass for two dol
lars, while those who use all the lines can
get six months passes for themselves at
$40 and for their families at SO each.
Contrasted with the experience of Pitts
burg, in donatinga maximum in franchises
for an absolute zero i'll revenue to the city,
is the fact that Paris receives a tax of four
hundred dollars for each vehicle run by
the General Omnibus Company. and in ad-

RETALIATION ON CANADA.

The Presidents message TO Congress
urging the enactment of retaliatory
measures against Canada for the DomiD.
ions violation of the spirit, if not the
letter, of the Washington treaty, is a
strong document and makes out very
good case. 1t appears evident that the
Canadian Government has used discrimi-
nation against American interests despite
its undertaking not to do so. And Canada
must be taught that this sort of thing can
not be done with impunity. Just how far
Canada is itself responsible for the viola
ton of promises it is impossible and of no
importance for this Government TO ascer-
tain. But it is evident that the chief
stumbling block in the way of fair dealing
has been Canada's dependence on the
British Government This makes the
necessity for retaliation the more
ra'pablG.
Canada is suffering to-day enormously
by reason of her commercial separation
from this country. That separation is due
TO her union with England, and just so
long as that bond is maintained it is evil
dent that our northern neighbor must re-
ltsdlll a SIldLSCI W OuI w llllS
England is kept on her present intimate
footing, and while Canada refuses to dis
criminate against other members of the
British Empire, no reciprocity treaty
can be enacted, and the absence of adj
vantage to us will prevent our consent to
any measure that will bring the Dominion
into closer commercial touch with us
Canada cannot possibly remedy her un-
enviabie situation until she cuts adrift
from the power that impedes her instead
of helping her on. Her best men are rap
idly awakening to the fact, and we can
and should help to arouse them. Once
Canada is possessed of separate identity,
and is really free to make treaties on her
own account, other and larger questions
will demand an answer. Until that time
arrives the Dominion will continue its dis
integration. How those questions will be
answered cannot now be foretold but the
sooner they are brought to the surface the
better for Canada-and incidentally and to
a less extent the better for the United
States as We'll

National Institution of HON aopathy For
bids the Use Of Secret Medicines.
Philadclphis Inquirer.l
Affairs are coming to q rather alarming
pass when the National Institute ofIomeop-
athy finds it necessary to adopt a resolution
forbidding its members to use secret and
proprietary medicines in their daily prac-
tice. The resolution forbidding such use
was introduced bysDr. Monroe, of Louisville,
and threw the convention into such an up
roar that it was found advisable to adjourn
and think of it before final action was taken.
Later on, however, it was again called mp,
and as one member expressed it, the offend
ing practitioners were notified that they
must give up the offensive habit or be ex-
PEELED.
The outcome of the whole affair will prob
ably be that those who were aimed at by the
resolution will go right on giving what
seems likely to meet the requirements of
their cases and let the institute resolve
itself tired. But it is somewhat amusing to
see the stern measures which are necessary
to keep the doctors in line Possibly some
of the other schools are even now drawing
upon the homeopathic remedies and method
of administering them, and SIMILAR reso-
luton will have to be fred off at them. The
doctors are very funny fellows-sOnnetimes
Medicine is not yet an exact science, and
physiciads are right In using whatever
seems to meet the needs OF their patients,
regardless OF resolutions like the above.

MONTREAL. Jane20.-[SpeciaIl 1.-The Roman
Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of the
Dominion OF Canada have just returned
from a tour of the Northwestern States,
Manitoba and the Northwest Provinces of
Canada. THE deputation mum bered 20 Arch
bishops, Bishops, Monsignors and Grand
Yicaires, including the Archbishop of Of
tawa, the Archbishops of Toronto and Que
bee and the Bishops of st. Hyacinthe, Three
Rivers, Pontiac and Kingston. When the
head of a diocese could not himself take part
in the excursion he was represented by his
Grand Vicaire.
The party made a thorough tour through
all the Northwest with the object of finding
out the best places in which Canadians from
the older Provinces can SETTLE whether in
Canada or the United States. They decided
in favor Of the Canadian Northwest, and
will issue joint pastoral. to be read in ali
the churches of Canada, strongly advising
Canadians to refrain from going to the
United States. The Bishops claim that not
only is the climate of the Canadian North
west much superior to that of the North
western States, but that the cost OF living is
cheaper. taxes are lower and religious toler-
ance is much more free. The pastoral is ex-
pected to have a great effect on the Roman
Catholics of the Dominion.

THE GOLD MOVEMENT AND SILVER.


b The renewal of gold shipments to Eu-
rope, over seven millions having gone out
last week, causes the usual variety of ex-
plantations as to its cause. The organs of
gold monometallism charge it to the free
silver agitation, or at least assert that it is
a warning against free silver The free
silver men assert that it shows the INSULT
cheney of the gold supply. Each assertion
contains mixture Of reason with per-
centage of faise application. The gold
movement, although a little unusual,
simply means that Europe wants the gold
more than we do. Money is extremely
easy in New York, while specie require
ments in Europe make the European
inanciers seek gold more strenuously than
this country does. Consequently gold
goes out to come back in large share when
the crop movements of this country require
it
At the same time the testimony of the
past two years, that whenever in any re-
mote corner of Europe there isan especial
need for gold, the monetary centers on an
opposite side of the globe must be drawn
uPoh, 10 d COuNluCiuS SNluSllCe Iildt Tie
worlds stock of gold is insufficient for its
needs. 1t is difficult for the world to get
more than it imagines it wants of any
monetary metal, which makes all the
more patent that it should have such a
stock that the needs. of one quarter can be
supplied without depicting another. Ex-
perience is rapidly enforcing the lesson
that the commercial world requires the
use of silver as money, to exc out its in
adequate gold supply.
This does not by any means support the
free coinage of silver dollar of less bull
lion value than the gold dollar, or the
transfer of the business of the country to
the monometallic silver basis But it does
show the wisdom of efforts to induce an
cooperation for restoring
silver to wide use as money concurrentIy
with gold all over the world

dition one-half the profits above eight per
cent This point would not be so import
ant as the reduction of the fares from the
fact that the people have to pay the taxes.
When New York City, in the case Of one
street railway, takes forty per cent of its
gross receipts, it simply taxes two cents
out of the five-cent fare. There is truth
in the assertion that the city would do
better to reduce the fares to three cents;
but in a case where neither taxes are
yielded from the franchises, nor fares are
reduced, the contrast is striking one. 1t
suggests conclusions far from fiattering to
our municipal influences.
The fact Sat Europe manages roads and
street railways better than we do may be
taken as an argument against local self
government. 1t is a fair argument against
carrying that principle to the degree of in
efficiency; but it has a much stronger
application against permitting the party
lines of national politics to overslaugh the
Importance of intelligent and honest local
administration
