Pittsburg wakes Up.

Pittsburg is the industrial center or
America, whence come the United States
Steel corporation, public libraries, and
Pittsburg stogies, and millionaires II
is dingy, dirty, smoke-elad city, where
a few pretty intelligent people live who
can help it, and half million Italians,
sIoyaks, Poles, SyTians, Bohemians and
negroes who can't, because they never
learned to cut coupons or to live without
eating
Somebody has just turned on the light
in PittsbuTg and a few trust magnates
and some other very respectable persons
arc blinking intentionally. IT seems
that the steel trust, concerned about
over population, has been killing some
FIVE hundred men every year, giving on
each occasion few warm words of con-
ISOLATION to the bereayed relatives, An
other five hundred human beings were
being yearly swept of by typhoid, be-
cause certain gentlemen who drink
spring water and whiskey did not want
the general water supply reformed No
body was keeping track Of the thousands
of poor fellows annually MANNED, or OF
the other thousands who were being sent
off into hospitals, jails, orphanages, ana
insane asylums. The city took care OF
the trusts oripples, and when the steel
business was dull the hospitals were
empty. The whole report is sickening
story Tt makes us feel that if we cannot
do better than this, our recent little con-
with the late George the Third
was not Of much use.
We can do better. Publicity, will pene-
trate even the trust made smoke of Pitts
burg. Already movement is on foot
to institute a municipal house cleaning,
and if the civic pride aroused by the
recent report bears fruit, Pittsburg viii
