Justice Field.

In the death of Justice Stephen j.
Field the country loses an interesting
character, one whose life forms re-
markable history. In addition to the
distinction which his service for more
than a generation as a member of the
highest court in the world, together
with his judicial ability, conferred up
on him, he was noteworthy as pro-
duct of one phase of our National life
few examples of which are now upon
the stage, and as a member of family
which is remarkable in the high aver
age of attainment reached by every
member. The mention of his name re-
calls the apparent miracle by which a
poor New England preacher, with a
salary that seemed inadequate to keep
the wolf of hunger from the door man
aged to send family of boys through
college, and to educate them so well
and to such good purpose that all be-
came men of National reputation, one
III INC OhC Oh tiC OhC
at the bar, and one who in the busi-
ness world first made ocean telegraphy
possible.
The career of these illustrous broth
ers shows that there were ways of ac-
complishing results without the multi
piled facilities that we rely on in these
days; and some people profess to be-
lieve that for that reason we are de-
teriorating. The Fields were men of
extraordinary physical, mental and
moral fiber, bound to emerge from OBJ
Scurity under almost any clrcumstan-
ces. But similar conditions are pro-
ducing their like all the time. Great
men continue to grow and develop
through the necessity of struggling
with adverse circumstances, though
the seeds of greatness are not usually
sown so thickly as they were in the
old Connecticut parsonage where the
Fields first saw the light-Pittsburg
Times.

FOREIGN Shipments by the River.

The Carnegie company has let con-
tract for the construction of a large
dock near Lock No. 2. the purpose of
which is to facilitate the transfer of
cargoes from boats on the river to cars
on lne railroad, and the reverse. 1t
is said in connection with the an
nouncement of the letting of the con-
tract that it is the intention of the To-
cal manufacturers to depend more up
on the river as "a help to their export
trade, and that in this manner freights
will go abroad by way of the river and
New Orleans.
For many years the Erie canal has
enabled New York to hold the place of
advantage as the port of export for the
United States. Recently, since the
cost of freights has become a prime
factor in the selling price of American
products, an effort has been persistent
to get new ways to the sea. Several
ports of the South have been brought
into requisltion, and the result is that
New York is not holding her position
as port of receipt or dispatch. Rail
roads have looked for the nearest
harbor whence their products might be
loaded for shipment, and the South At
lantic coast and the Gulf are taking a
portion of the trade.
If the river can offer the low cost for
its long haul, there is still no reason
why, as Pittsburg comes to be still
more the manufacturing center of the
world, and with an enormous export
trade, the rivers should not share in
the carrying trade. The railroads have
been reducing the cost OF freight every
year, and with the improvement in
track and equipment II Is an open
question whether the rivers can under
take a longer haul for less money.
However, the experiment will be tried,
for the tonnage OF Plttsburg is so great
that 1t is bound to seek the lowest cost
level.

Dewey and the Presidency,

New York, April 9.-Admiral Dewey
has given to the Manila correspondent
OF Leslie's Weekly an interview re-
garding the suggestion that the ad-
miral be made candidate for the
presidency next year. The admiral
said:
81 am a sailor A sailor has no poll
tics. The administration is his party.
Republican or Democratic, 1t makes no
difference. Then again ] come from
Vermont, and you know what that
means. To be anything but a Repub-
llcan in Vermont is to be a man with
out party. My flag lieutenant comes
from Georgia. He tells me that 20 be
anything but Democrat in the south
is to De nobody. II lived in the south
l would probably be a Democrat"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to I'LL the
presidency. He said that he was too
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad-
NIT 1t. All his life's work was in diff
ferent lines OF effort

West Side Library and Reading
Rooms, Corner Maple and Frank
lin Streets,

A popular movement is on foot and
rapidly assuming tangible shape look
ing to the establishment at the loca-
tion above named of free public IL
brary and reading room, to be supple
mented later with gymnasium, bath
rooms, coffee and lunch rooms. Gro
quet and tennis lawns will also be pro-
vided. The idea is to furnish a free
place of entertainment, not confined to
membership nor limited to male sex
where both citizen and stranger may
find welcome.
All the local and many other of the
principal newspapers of the United
States will be on file, together with the
principal magazines, the latest popu-
har books and a circulating and miscel-
laneous library. The local papers have
kindly donated copies of their publica-
tions and donations of cash, books and
magazines are solicited.
A large membership has been Sc
cured with weekly dues placed at the
nominal sum of five cents a week, and
abundant support is promised from the
outside public, This is a most worthy
enterprise, destined to accomplish q
good work and deserves most liberal
support.
Donations of money, books and mag.
azines will be received at the Office.
The management hope to open with
a reception in about three weeks.

Government CONSUMPTION Expert.
ment,

A great deal OF interest is manifest
ed in the proposed experiment by the
government in the cure of consump-
ton. Certainly no harm can follow
it, and much good may result to suffer-
ing humanity.
The official plans as published con-
template the establishment at Fort
Stanton, N. NJ, of a sanitarium, the
reservation of ten thousand acres be-
ing set apart for that purpose. There
will be erected suitable buildings and
army physicians, nurses and attend
ants regularly detailed for the work
there.
The first patients admitted will be
soldiers, sailors and marines suffering
from consumption. Later govern
ment clerks and other employees will
be admitted. And finally, if the ex-
pertinent proves a success, cases of
private citizens will be taken for treat
ment.
III TIC tNenJ vi IHe SuCCeSS vi lHe
experiment it is safe to say that the
ten thousand acres reservation will be
none too large to accommodate thehos-
pital buildings that will have to be
erected If the government shall under
take to handle all the cases that will
flock to it for relief, since not being a
money-making scheme, it will be with
in the reach OF all classes and rich and
poor alike
There is great promise in the under
taking. Even If not successful in the
positive cure OF consumption, it will
furnish much definite and authoritive
data, which will be of great value to
medical science.
Surgeon General Wyman is confident
that consumption can be cured by
proper treatment and under favorable
climatic conditions, and the whole
scientific world, as we'll as a very large
portion OF suffering humanity, will
watch the results of the government S
experiments with keenest interest,"
Times recorder.

Organization Of the Census Force.


Washington. d. c., April 9.-In ac-
cordance with a circular letter of in
structions now being prepared by the
director OF the census examinations of
applications for appointment in the
census bureau will be made in each
state.
The cities in which these examina-
tlons will be held have not all been Sc
lected yet but it is probable that one
of the points will be Cleveland. 1t is
now stated that part of the census
clerks will be appointed about the 1st
of May, although by far the greatest
number of appointments will be de-
layed for year.
The examination to which the appli-
cants for places will be submitted will
cover the rudiments of fair English
education, with special questions
where the work the applicant proposes
to do is of technical nature. Read
ing writing, spelling and arithmetic
constitute the basis OF the examination
but the applicant who wants to be-
come copying clerk will not be re-
quired to know differtntial calculus or
the meteorological conditions of Kam-
schatka.
The applications of persons whose
grades fall below seventy-five will not
nave their applications considered.
Those who get rs or better will be
placed on the eligible list, and the con-
gressmen from the districts in which
these lucky ones live will be asked the
history, personal standing, character,
etc, of the applicants. Upon the
gradings and the final certificates of
the congressman, who will also be ask
ed as to the fitness of the applicant,
the appointment will be made. Di-
rector MIRIAM says a political pull
will not land an applicant who is not
competent and decent. He also says
that the use of political influence to Sc
cure an undersigned promotion will be
sufficient grounds for discharge.
Evidently Director Merriam is carry
ing out his plan of conducting a merit

Every administration is Dewey's ad-
ministration. 1t would be a good
thing il every citizen followed this rule
We have a right to fight as hard as we
can for the election of the person who
heads the ticket of our party and who
represents certain principles in which
we believe, but when the election is
over, the man elected should be our
president and his administration
should be our administration until the
time for another election comes
around. If that rule is followed we
would have a more successful admins
tration than we do now when every
man who voted against the present in
cumben. OF the highest Office in our
gift thinks it now a righteous prlvil-
ege and in fact his duty to do all he
can to prevent the administration
from being a success, and believes it
the proper thing to hold it up to con-
tempt and ridicule on any and every
occasion. We do not believe that this
is right. We do not believe that it is
patriotic. We do not believe that the
man who does it has as much patriot
ism as he has partisanship.-Siste
