PITTSBURG. SATURDAY. OCT. 19. 1889.
A NEW MANUFACTURING TOWN.
The purchase of a site on the MonoUgahela
river, at Lock No. 4, where the largest plate
glass works in the world will be located, and
the Believernon gas field will be utilized to
famish the fuel of a new manufacturing
snbnrb, is an interesting promise oi indus
trial development.
ETery such enterprise is an addition to
Pittsburg's wealth and population. The
fact that it is an hour or two from the city
makes its industries and growth no less a
part of the grand industrial organization
which is now covering a great share of West
ern Pennsylvania, and of which Pittsburg is
the heart. The employment of foreign capi
tal in this enterprise is one of the results of
the unsurpassed advantages of our section,
and it shows that the influences which have
been pushing our growth for the past few
years are as active as ever.
The new town will have the advantage of
water transportation in competition with the
railroads, and will no doubt develop the in
dustrial success which is promised. A rapid
growth to our new manufacturing suburbl
CHICAGO'S EMBASSY.
It is understood that a committee of Chi
cago gentlemen visiting theExposition here,
has for its real errand the work of securing
the support of Pittsburg for the location
of the World's Fair in Chicago. The enter
prise and public spirit which Chicago has
shown in support of her enterprise certainly
stands out in decided and gratifying con
tract to the hide-bound and penny-pinching
methods that have ruled in NewTork. If
the question were solely between the loca
tion at different commercial capitals, the
dash and liberality of Chicago would doubt
less attract the support of a great many; and
might even create a disposition to reverse
the declarations made by the Chamber of
Commerce and other authoritative bodies in
favor of Washington. While this may be
improbable, however, Pittsburg will give
its Chicago guests a warm welcome, will be
? lad to show them the newest ideas in iron
and glass exposition buildings.
TEE ANABCEIST BLUNDER.
Mr. Sergius Schevitch, the Anarchist
leader who was the moving spirit at the
demonstration in Chicago at which the
Stars and Stripes were bused, made a rec
ord for himself in an attempt to get up a
discission with Mayor Cregier over the his
tory of popular government "Are you not
of the opinion," asked Schevitch,"that had
it not been for the revolution in Paris this
republic would not have been here?"
Considering that this republic commenced
its existence thirteen years before the first
French revolution, it is very easy to answer
Mr. Schevilch's question in the negative.
An ordinary Bussian might be pardoned
for making such a blunder; hut when one
sets up for a revolutionary leader and under
takes to instruct the people of this country
on the foundations of popular government,
-he onght to know that the establishment of
liberty in this country was the example
which gave rise to the French revolution,
instead of tbe exact opposite.
The incident is an interesting one as.
showing the importance to political refugees
who have found a sanctuary here of pre
serving silence until they have learned the
true theory and history of afree government
by law and not by anarchy.
THE SWALLOW-TAIL COAT.
The swallow-tail coat has been attacked
again, this tifee by Andrew Lang, the bril
liant English author. He says that it will
have to go. So said Oscar Wilde, a far
more important personage in tbe world of
fashion than a mere writer of reviews and
light literature, ten years ago. So have
said a dozen other authorities who have
takes it into their heads to wage war upon
the conventional clawhammer. And the J
evening dress of civilized man the world
over still includes the abused coat.
The trouble is with the poetic or other
wise cranky individuals who see a world of
ugliness and discomfort in the swallow-tail
coat that they hare never' been able to sug
gest a substitute which any sane person
would voluntarily adopt. Host of the re
formers want us to go back to our grand
fathers' times and resume their gorgeous
coats of silk, satin or velvet, stiff with bull
ion ana embroidery, high in the collar, and
long as a woman's dress almost in the
skirt This would involve a return to
equally resplendent knickerbockers, Bilk
stockings, and diamond-buckled shoes, and
powdered hair and periwigs would be sure
to follow, with the climax! in a cocked bat.
No, the swallow-tail coat is a sensible
garment; fairly becoming to most men, and
it does not entail necessarily a full dress
costume beyond the reach of a man of mod-.
erate means, u it had not possessed tnese
palpable advantages it would sot have
stayed in fashion for half a centnry with
but trifling modification.
TEE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT.
The proposition to make an industrial
exhibit at the Exposition buildings has
been adopted with a vigor that bids fair to
make that a prominent and impressive
feature of the trip of the South American
delegates. There is certainly no better way
of showing the visitors an epitome of what
Pittsburg can achieve industrially, than a
display of our best and most striking prod
ucts which the delegates can inspect at a
single visit, and by that means have a guide
as to what parts of our industrial establish
ments they wish to inspect in detail.
It is to be hoped that every manufactur
ing concern in the city will utilize the in
tervening time in preparing the best ex
amples of their products and the most
striking illustrations of new ideas in their
respective lines that can be produced. If
this is done thoroughly and with the deter
mination to surpass all others, it will Ijave
the best results. When it is done, too, it
will bring up the question why such an
exhibit should not be a leading feature of
the annual exhibitions of the Exposition So
ciety. If the regular Exposition were made
to annually illustrate the best examples of
progress in industrial science, it would at
tract th: attention, not only of the whole
country, but of the whole world.
A LEFT-HANDED VICTORY.
The decision of the Inter-State Commerce
Commission the other day against the
forced production of that secret contract be
tween the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
National Transit Company, has been gen
erally reported as a defeat for the inde
pendent refiners and a victory for the rail;
road. It may be so as regards the effort to
bring out some details of the business; but
when the papers are fully studied, it will be
seen that as regards the main point, the de
cision of the Commission was a Pyrrhic vic
tory for the big corporations.
The complainant in the case charged that
there existed a secret contract between the
railroad and the pipe line specifying the
main points of the contract, namely, that it
guaranteed a percentage of the traffic to the
Peunsylvania Eailroad and was intended to
hold up freight charges in the interest of
the Standard. The railroad in its answer
admitted -that there was such a contract,
"substantially the same as stated in the
seventh answer of the petition," but denied
that it was established for the purpose
charged.
In deciding upon the necessity of pro
ducing the contract, the majority of the
Commission held that the answer proved the
charge. The railroad admits the existence
of the contract, the Commissioners held; its
allegation as to the effect of the contract not
being unfair is an expression of opinion
which has no weight as evidence. The
question of fact is as to the existence of the
contract That being admitted by the rail
road, there is no necessity of producing it,
except to prove its alleged harmlessness.
For this purpose the railroad can produce
the contract, if it wishes; but for the pur
poses of establishing the complaint, there is
no need of doing so.
When the decision leaves the railroad in
the position of admitting the allegation and
omitting to justify itself, it hardly appears.
as if the respondent had carried off much of
the honors.
TEE SAMOAKS' EIGHT.
The report that a renewal of the Samoan
difficulty is threatened because Malietoa
has withdrawn from the chieftancy and
Mataafa has been elected in his stead, to
which Germany is expected to object, looks
like a mare's nest It is hard to see how,
after Germany has been induced to back
down from her early action in deposing and
imprisoning Malietoa, the harmonious elec
tion of another chieftain can afford any
ground for her interference. Certainly there
should be no foundation .for the report that
the Department of State will give the moral
support of the United States to Germany in
resisting the elevation of Mataafa. The
only position that the United States can
take is that Which has already been taken,
of the right of the Samoans to choose their
own rulers, entirely free from foreign inter
ference. Any departure from that position
is a stultification of our previous policy.
The trade for oil well supplies is boom
ing because industry in the producing
fields is active. It maybe hoped that it
will continue so until the Standard con
cludes that it will serve its turn to order an
other shut-down.
The claim made by a Republican paper
of Indianapolis that "every occupation and'
profession of life is open to colored men in
the North" is indignantly refuted by the
New York Post, which cites a colored wit
ness to the efiect that "the colored barbers
of Indianapolis in a certain shop had
threatened personal violence to one of their
own color who had simply asked to be
shaved in their shop." From this we con
clude that the deliberate judgment of the
JPoit is thai an occupation or profession
irhich ought to be open to the colored people,
is that of getting shared, i
The English beer syndicate having failed

A eecent paper on city ventilation
says that Pittsburg is the only city in the
country that is making no provision for
open space for its inhabitants. This does
our city injustice. Pittsburg has beeniwo
fully behind the age up to a late date; but
now our city authorities are working to
remedy the lack in a way that will in a few
years enable it to challenge comparison for
beauty and extent of its ' parks with the
entire country. '

If Tanner and his disputants keep on
long enough the public stands a very fair
chance of getting some interesting informa
tion concerning office holders at Washing
ton. The periodical that was started under
the name of Liei gave np the ghost a week
or two declaring with its dying breath that
it had "a guaranteed circulation of 59,
000." Its sad demise is to be taken as evi
dence that lies will not succeed in this age
when they are conceded to be such at the
outside.
The pugnacity developed among lawyers,
Aldermen and liquor men by recent court

THE TOPICAL TALKEK.
Three Rcmarkablo rPlnys That a Maniac
Devised for a Great Comedian.
A queer theatrical story was told me by a
well-known actor yesterday. The hero of the
story is a still better known comedian. His
name is not given correctly for obvious reasons,
with which the matter of advertisement Is.con
cerned, and for the purpose of convenience we
will call him Strane.
"You may remember," said the historian, by
whom the tale was told, "that some months ago
Strane wrote an article which was widely re
printed, having for subject, The American
Dramatist.' He avowed his perfect belief In
this much talked of prodigy, whose very exist
ence is denied byA. M. Palmer'and others. As
it turned out, this was a somewhat rash state
ment to make, or from the very day that he so
unburdened himself to the world, he was
snowed under by scores of manuscript plays.
After tbe manuscripts came the manuscript
writers, and authors of assorted sizes, ages and
degrees of self-assurance waylaid the wretched
man at every possible opportunity,
"Finally, in desperation, he fled to his conn
try home and his steam yacht, and here believ
ing himself safe, he breathed more freely. He
had been enjoying the ocean breezes for about
a couple of weeks, when, as he sat at his early
breakfast one morning, he spied a stranger
walking up to the front porch. He was a tall,
thin man, who, despite the terrific heat of the
July day, was dressed in a black frock coat,
tightly buttoned up to the throat and had on
a tall silk hat of the vintage of 1S6U His face
was thin and worn, and his hair was somewhat
longer than a strict accordance with the rule of
fashion calls for. Strane sized him up through
the open window, and instinctively looked to
see whether the conventional brown paper
parcel bespeaking the manuscript play, was
concealed abont his person. But no sign of the
telltale package could be seen, and the actor
breathed more freely, and when the servant
announced that Mr. Jessamy wished to bee
him, he went into the sitting room to meet his
fate without a question.
'THE stranger lost no time in coming to the
point In a pleasantly modulated voice, and
with a flow of words which were well chosen, if
a trifle over-abundant, he began by paying some
well deserved compliments to Strane's artistic
abilities. He then remarked that he had long
been possessed of the desire to write a play for
him, and though he had the work thoroughly
mapped out in his mind, he had thought it ad
visable, in accordance with the arguments so
ably advanced by Mr. Strane himself (here
"William winced), to submit his ideas and re
ceive any suggestions the actor might have to
offer. Strane replied civilly, and meekly ob
served that in 15 minutes he was about to em
bark for a day's cruise on his yacht Mr. Jes
samy Ignored the hint, and without more ado
started in tp recite the ,substance of his pro
posed play, and Strane, with a gasp, prepared
lor an hour of boredom. He never was more
disappointed in his life. Mr. Jessamy was a
born raoonteur apparently, and a dramatist of
genius as w ell, for in the course of an hour he
had given not only the plot and outline, bnt
snatches of the dialogue of a play which Strane
solemnly avers was the best constructed and
most humorous In situation which he bad ever
heard.
..
'The leading part was exactly suitable to
Strane's powers, and he felt like a miner who
has suddenly, by a stroke ot his pick, uncovered
a huge nugget of virgin gold. Grasping his
visitor warmly by the hand, Strane broke into
enthusiastic praises of the yet unwritten play,
ana assured the author that when it was put
on paper, he had a market ready to his hand.
Mr. Jessamy's pale face showed no signs of
gratification at this announcement and when
Strane went on-to say that he should like his
manager to hear what he had just listened to,
and if Mr. Jessamy would kindly stay over
night, he would telegraph to tbe former, and
that individual would be there next morning to
hear it To this the stranger gravely assented,
and was introdnced in due course to Mrs.
Strane. Despite his peculiar appearance, he
proved a man of delightful manners, andamost
charming conversationalist The day passed
pleasantly enough, and that evening Strane, by
this time thoroughly enthused over his newly
discovered dramatist ventured to suggest that
he should recite to his wife the main incidents
of his proposed play. Mr. Jessamy willingly
consented, and after dinner they sat ont on the
porch, and Mr. Jessamy began in his dulcet
tones. At his first words Strane looked troubled,
and by the time he had finished, Strane was
gazing in blank amazement at his wife, who
looked at him In return somewhat contemptu
ously. Instead of the rattling comedy,relatedin
the morning, Mr. Jessamy bad sketched out a
gloomy melo-drama of the most blood-curdling
description, and was blandly dilating on the
peculiar fitness of Strane to play the part of
the chief villain, whose moral character was on
a par with that of Judas Iscariot
, .
" 'But, my dear sir,', gasped Strane, that is
not what yon described to me this morning.'
" 'I beg your pardon, sir,' retorted Jessamy;
It is identical in every respect'
There was nothing for it but to accept the
situation, attribute It to the potency of the yel
low label served at dinner, and to wait for
morning and the manager. Both arrived sim
ultaneously and when the manager had washed
off the dust of travel, the matter of the play
was mooted. Mr. Jessamy expressed himself
as ready to run over the main points to the
manager, and Strane, with a trifle of apprehen
sion, awaited the beginning. His woist
fears were realized. The astounded
manager of a leading comedian found
himself listening to tbe relation of a somber
L five-act tragedy dealing with the loves and
hatreds of tbe Borgias, and was gravely assured
by tbe narrator that no one could begin to play
Caesar Borgia with the force or intensity of
Mr. Strane. That actor pinched himself to be
sure he was awake, and then began to gently
assure Mr. Jessamy that he had made a mis
take. There is no mistake, sir,' said Jessamy
with a rising voice. 'But I see I have been de
ceived. You are in a plot against met ion
have been plotting for years, but you shall plot
no longerr and, with a sudden movement he
picked up from the side of tbe open fireplace
one of the polished steel fire-irons, placed there
more for ornament than use, but capable of
being dangerous in an angry man's hand, and
made a sndden rush at the now thoroughly
alarmed Strane.
"AS ldck would have it, the door was burst
open at this very moment, and Strane, who had
tumbled backward with the sndden emotion
saw a rough looking man rush in and crab Mr!
Jessamy round the waist and throw him, while
he piteously begged for mercy. The rest of the
Btoryis told quickly. Mr."3essamy, It seems,
was an inmate of a private asylum near Boston
and bad made his escape the day before. Ue
bad been traced to Strane's homo by his keeper
who arrived rather opportunely. The curious
part of it all, according to Strane, isjjthat the
unf ortnnate fellow, whose name is not Jessamy,
but Stanton, had imagined three as clevor
plays as he had ever beard. It is safe to say.
however, that Strane will be careful in future
in Inviting strangers, however promising they
may be as playwrights, to spend the day and
night with him."

WASHCJQTOir, October 18. In compliance
with the request of the President Solicitor
General Chapman has rendered an opinion
upon a question submitted by Civil BerVice
Commissioners Boosevelt and Thompson nnder
date of September 24, 1889. The facts in the
case are stated as follows:.
On April a, 1839, one J. M. Taylor wis ap
pointed In tbe regular way a railway postal clerk
and upon that day the appointment papers were
regularly made up, executed and recorded, and,
as is customary, were at once forwarded to the

pointment papers, neither was there anything out
of the usual course in connection with the for

appointee. This appointment was approved by
the signature of tbe First Assistant Postmaster
General on April 29. Taylor, however, did not
take the oath of office until Mar 18. 1S83. It so

pon this state of facts tbe question is asked
whether Mr. Taylor was legally appointed on
April 29, SO
tnatnls examination under the civil
service rules Is not required, or whether tbe time
of taking the oath or office and entrains nnon
duty Is decisive at to the requirement of an exam-
lnatlon. 'lhe Solicitor General finds tbat under
section 4,023 of the Revised Statutes the Postmas
ter uenerai naa me ngnt on April 29 to a'
Taylor in tne way ue was appointed. His ap-
puiuiujeut, ab tuts mats IE was maue,
was, therefore, in every sense legal and valid;
and It only remains, says tbe Solicitor General,
to see whether the mere fact that be did not take
the oath required until after May 1 in any way
affected the completeness and finality ot tbe ap
pointment. Tbe Supreme Court decision In tne
case of the United States versus LeBaron Is quoted
as conclusive upon tbls question. In this ease the
master's appointment was In force at the time of
his giving his bond. It appears that his nomina
tion haa been confirmed by tbe Senate and his
commission had been signed by President Tyler,
who shortly .hereafter died, such commission not
having been delivered to him at the time of ex
ecuting his bond. The Court held that as from an
accident the commission faUed to reach him, his
possession of tbe office was as lawful as 11 It were
in his custody.
The Solicitor General finds that there is no
material distinction apparent between tne ease of
au appointment or tne i resiuent alter connrma-
tion br tne senate
' the Senate and an appointment by the
Postmaster General. The od
pinion menectnoius
that the tact that Taylor did not take the oath of
omce until alter May l is Immaterial upon the
question of bis right to hold office of which he was
apnointed on April 29. It is understood that a
large number of appointments were made to tbe
railway mall service Just prior to May 1, and In a
large percentage of these cases tbe appointees
were, owing to tbe shortness of the time unable
to take the necessary oath, which fact It has been
contended, rendered their appointment void.
The opinion was approved by the Attorney Gen
eral. A FBAUD ON HIS FACE.
Description of an Impostor Who Claims a
Dispatch Connection.
The Dispatch has received the following
communication, of importance and interest to
the publishers not only; but probably also to
many readers:
Newalexahdbia, i
"V7ESTM0EKLAND countt, October 17.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
A sleek-looking gentleman dropped Into town
last Friday afternoon and put up at our hotel. Be
even wore a plug hat well polished. On Satur
day he canvassed our business places and solicited
advertisements for a small sheet to beprlnted
and distributed by Tub Dispatch. The first
page was to be advertisements for merchants; tbe
second for The Dispatch "boom," as he said,
and the third and fourth for advertisements and
reading matter. Be asked SO cents for the adver
tisement, and threw in six months' subscription
to the WBEKLTDlSPATCn. .
On Sunday the man ate a hearty dinner, took
the landlord's best umbrella and started out for
a walk, and we presume be Is walking yet, as bis
board bUl remains unpaid, and the advertising
sheet, which was to appear yesterday, has not
been beard of. He got a few advertisements, but
some of our business men would have nothing to
do with him.
Now, If you have an agent of that kind going
around, yon ought to see to Dim, or he will do you
much injury by his way or doing business. If you
have none, you should have this man, who gave
bis name as "Charles Flint, Agent, " arrested.
You can get several witnesses here against him.
He walked into town and walked out, Is about
all we know about him.

Minneapolis Journal: The legal au

ST. Paul, Pioneer Press: There Is but little
need of an overzealous prosecution of the

be done in the Cronin case if the trial be con
ducted in Chicago? Would It not be advisable
for Bute's Attorney Longenecker to move for
a change of venue?
Cincinnati Times Star: There are limits to
endurance, even in Chicago. If a short shrift
should be offered the conspirators some night
it would be because of just such statements as
have offended tbe ears and eyes of Chicago
during the last few days.
