SATURDAY. NOV. 2. 1S8D. THE EAILB0AD POLICY. The railroads have concluded to get all they can out of the present prosperity of the iron and steel trade, and have made another advance of 2jj3' cents in the rates on fin ished iron and steel from Pittsburg. Considering the improvement in business and the present excess of demand for trans portation over the supply, there is some foundation for the plea of the railroads that the advance is justified. If rates yielded to downward influences as readily as they go up when the tendency is that way, there could hardly.be a valid objection to the change. But when the combination of all the lines first resists the declining tendency of rates in adverse times, and then puts up the rates monthly, when affairs improve, the in terests which prod lice the freight can hardly be blamed for feeling that the railroads are disposed to take all they can get. There is another point that the railroads should consider, purely from a selfish point of view. At the old rates the freight traffic which Pittsburg produced was more profit able than any other traffic of like volume which the railroads can obtain. That bust . aess can be cherished by keeping rates on a reasonable basis. It can be checked by crowding up freights and other expenses whenever opportunity occurs. Is it for the interest of the railroads to cherish the traffic which yields them such golden results or to check it? The qnestion can be further enlarged by the inquiry whether it is for the interest of the railroads to cultivate the friendship of the city which yields a larger proportion of their net revenues than any other shipping point in the country, or to alienate it? DECIDEDLY INELIGIBLE. The report from .the 'West that talk is heard of the appointmentof JudgeBrewer, of the United States Circuit Court, to the vacancy of the Supreme Bench, is an un comfortable balance to the mention of Judge Gresham's name in the same connection. The contrast is heightened by the fact that while Gresham's judicial exposure -of the abuses perpetrated by Gould's receivers in charge of the 'Wabash system, made his position clear on the question of corporate evils, an indication is given of Brewer's position on the same issue, by hit appoint ment of the receivers whom Gresham re moved. A Judge whohas served the purposes Of, the corporate kings on the Circuit bench, as Brewer has, can hardly be a very eligible aspirant to the Supreme Bench, if the inter ests of the public are taken into considera tion. ' PAEWELL'8 COHSIU'UTIONAL THEOKY. -Senator Farwell, of Illinois, has again succeeded in putting himself on record as to the proper way in which to dispose of the office. Senator Farwell discounts his former effort of placing himself outside of the Republican party by denying the Bepub lican platform and thnsproving that he ison his own theory, not entitled to any share-of the spoils. This .time the eminent dry goods Senator from Chicago plants himself upon broad constitutional grounds. "The constitution requires that the President shall make appointments by and with the consent of the Senate,' says-the Senator. "Under this provision I have advised the appointment ot certain men to the offices to be filled." 'This delivetcmce. points first to the con clusion that Senator Farwell is laboring w ,'B- under the delusion that he is the whole Senate. He plainly asserts that the "ad vice and consent of the Senate" required by the Constitution is furnished by his recom mendation of certain men to office. The fact that his theory requires the appoint ments to be made in the first instance by the direction of the individual Senators, and then confirmed by the Senate as a body, leaving the appointing power of the Presi dent outside, as a barren ideality, does not bother the Senator in the slightest degree. That wonld give him just what he is after the control of the offices of his own State. But the Senator's Constitutional theory leads directly to conclusions which would make his hair discount the quills upon the fretful porcupine. If it is true that the Constitution gives each Senator the power of recommending appointments from his own Stats, what follows as a matter of course? The Constitution recognires no difference between Republican and Demo cratic Senators. Consequently Senator Vest has the right to make appointments from Missouri, Senator Hampton from South Carolina, Senator Morgan from Ala bama, and Senator Reagan from Texas. If this should be done Senator Farwell would promptly discover that his Constitutional theory was more dangerous at the breech than at the muzzle. The fact is that the objective point of Sen ator Farweli's theories is the possession ot the spoils. But the arguments on which he bases his claims generally amount to the most severe commentary on the spoils sys tem. WILD EXPERT GUESSING. The opinions of those Ohio experts who have lately been laying down the law upon natural gas are worth even less than the de ceptive dicta of the geologists who seven years ago figured out that the end of the oil supply was in sight. Practical'men believe that gas will be available in Western Penn sylvania for domestic consumption at least for twenty years to come. The cost of get ting it may increase; but no one has meas ured the qnantity in reserve. What is known is that up to the present Pittsburg has the gas, and that more is being brought to the city now than ever before. With the economical use which experience teaches, the duration of the supply must be greatly prolonged. But Pittsburg has a double reliance, since, when the gas does cease to be available, there are inexhaustible coalfields at onr doors. Manufacturers who study the ad vantages of location can search the conti nent over without finding another place so fortified in its facilities as this town. HOMEPEODTJCTIOK OP THE VEHDETTA The wars of the Hatfields and McCoys are more irrepressible than the wars, or the rumors of wars, between the European monarchies. The most noticeable differ ence between the Southern belliger ents and the military powers of Europe is that the latter have so far done little but talk of war, while the former fall to killing each other on the slightest provocation, and do the talking afterward. The cause of the warfare is just about as obscure in one case as in the other. Why the Hatfields should be determined to kill all the McCoys, or why the McCoys should start out for the foredoomed slaughter ot all the Hatfields civilization cannot know. But the unending feud still goes on, and the only possible ground of union between the two factions is the joint determination that they will both kill any pntside repre sentative of the law who attempts to inter fere With their liberty to kill each other. Such manifestations of savagery as these are calculated to raise the, doubt whether the alleged civilization of some parts of this country is qnite skin deep. BEING ALONG THE CENSUS. Mr. Patterson, superintendent of the post al district of Lawrenceville, makes a very satisfactory report of the growth of that part of Pittsburg. He says that last year's building operations in Lawrenceville were equal to those of any five years previous. Over five hundred houses were built and the population is still increasing at the same rate. Undoubtedly Lawrenceville will grow more rapidly than ever now that the cable syt tern brings it so much nearer the center of the city. The country beyond Lawrenceville is healthy and picturesque, and with the extension of rapid transit will become one of our most desirable suburbs. But Lawrenceville is not alone in a growth approaching the marvelous. Go where you will in both cities and beyond their limits the same general characteristics of a great but healthy enlargement present themselves. The great East End is losing its groves and meadows, and gaining in their places houses of all sorts and sizes from the stone mansion to the frame cottage. Oakland, once w far from, though appar ently so near to, the lower city, has been brought within easy reach, and the same transformation of rural hills and vales into comely residental streets is rapidly taking place. So it is all over the uplands that rise above the business portion of Pittsburg. On the Soutbside the multiplication of the people and their homes is none the less remarkable, though the process of change in that region is not so generally observed, because a special expedition must be made beyond the bluffs for the purpose. The in fluence of Pittsburg's expansion is appar ent for thirty miles around the city. All the towns, boroughs and hamlets in the Ohio Valley are swelling prodigiously. The heart of the builderjs happy, and the real estate agent can hardly contain himself for joy. The Halloween festivities being over it may be instructive for people to stop and consider whether the advantages of that an niversary are sufficient to justify the teach ing of the youth of the vicinity that they can indulge in the destruction of property, with the added hazard of tbedestruction of life.- The fact that a part of the fun in one section of the city consisted in placing ob structions on a railroad track which might have caused a fearful calamity should im press the grown-up people that teaching boys that they can be lawless at any time, is a very dangerous, as well as silly, custom. Now we hear that the omnipresent British syndicate is after the New Hamp shire and Vermont stone quarries. We are glad to hear that the ambitions promoters are going to offer investors a chapce to turn their money into something solid. The feat of the Newark, N. J., police in arresting an old Irish -woman who had driven off a couple of marauding tramps with a revolver, and wounded one of them in the arm, is better-calculated to make New Jersey a paradise for tramps than to insure the safety of the domicile. Perhaps the police consider the old woman's activity in suppressing the'tramp. nuisance, to be a practical sarcassum the value of the police..'. J - -,; "1,-p- .- "Wheit the papers M'NewjSfork get down, to the work of raising. dollar subscriptions V l- THE"' PITTSBTJ-tG DISPXTGE siTUBftAY, " ' to the guaranteefund of the "World's Fair, with nearly $4,000,000 to raise, it must he recognized that the enterprise is tottering painfully along on its last legs. The continued trouble in trust certificate! can be fully accounted for by the discovery on the part ot the trust people that a mere form of organization cannot .secure a mo nopoly unless there is some way of shutting off outside competition like that held by the Standard. If a trust will not secure a monopoly what is it good for? ' Afieb the residents of the Chinese cap-1 ital have come in contact with loose electric light wires, the Mongolian opinion of the mysterious powers of the "foreign devils" may be more violent than ever. Afteb the story has been circulated that the presence of typhoid, fever among the students at Yale College was due to "over work," it is a rather telling commentary on the amount of the under-graduate's labors, to learn, on good authority that the total number of cases of that disease was eight out. of 1,600 students. While the trial of one homicide case is going on, two fresh killings take place in Western Pennsylvania. Respect for human life is beginning to be most prominent in the courts. Mb. Joseph Chamberlain is reported as doubting whether the game of politics is worth the abuse that is heaped upon publio men. Mr. Chamberlain's forgetfulnesa of the fun he had had in abusing the other fellows, indicates that some of the recent sarcasms at his own expense mutt have hit him very hard. Bismabck and Kalnoky are about to hold another conference for the ever-present purpose of planning how they can keep the peace, without fighting to preserve it. If the present era of disclosures and ar rests keeps on long enough, the city maybe left without constables or aldermen, in con dition for public services. But no one is taking the position that such a result would be any worse than the presence oi the kind that have heretofore been so abundant. The fact that the police can prove the existence of 700 "speak-easies" in the city, should result in 700 prosecutions for illegal liquor selling. The decision of the New York courts that the vested rights of electric corpora tions are more important than the safety of the citizen, is equivalent to leveral volumes of instruction on the relative importance, nowadays of corporate interests and the public welfare. PEOPLE OP PB0MINENCE. MjuJohtT Field, the new postmaster at Philadelphia, was bom in Derry county, Ireland, 65 years ago, and came to America at the age of 11 The statue of Robert E. Lee for Richmond, modeled by Mercle in Parts, will not be ready by December. The unveiling has been post poned till May. Julian Btobt, the yonncer Son of the sculptor, has painted in Paris, a cibinet-sized portrait of Miss Emma Eames, the young American prima donna. Heskt J. Bteekk, bachelor, of Provi dence, B. L, died recently, leaving a fortune of $3,000,000. Charles H. Atwood,who was his private secretory, gets $100,000. A 8TAT0E ot John Eliot, missionary to the Indians of New England, with a squaw and chief crouched at his feet, is nearing comple tion in the atelier ot John Rogers, the modeler of croups. The rumor is revived that Mr. W. H. Smith, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, Is to be sent to the House of Lords as Viscount Strand, and that Mr. Balfour will assume the leadership In the House of Commons. SxNATon Moody and Representative Gil ford, of South Dakota, had a conference with the President yesterday with reference to the admission of that State. -Among the Presi dent's other callers were the Secretary of War, Treasurer' Huston, Senator Mitchell and As sistant Attorney General Shields. Joseph Cabveb Robinson, ot Titusville, a veteran newspaper man, has written a poem that makes 174 pages In book form. It is en titled "A Dream," and Is both unique and original. The author dedicates his work to the independent oil men, and says his aim has been to picture the future of monopoly. If he is a true prophet, Dante's "Inferno" would be a pleasant place compared with the future abode of the oil kings. BuiATZB was a dandy to the last. He always wrote In a rich Oriental dressing robe, with books of reference, notebooks, etc., at hand. During his latter years increasing deafness, from which he had been almost a life-long sufferer, made him withdraw from society, to which he had once been so devoted, and of which he had been one of the most brilliant ornaments. But he never ceased to dress with the elegance of a complete man of the world. ARRESTED AS A VAGRANT. An Officer of the V. 8. Secret Service Tm priioned for 30 Day. Indianapolis, November L Major Carter, ot the United States Secret Service, says that one of the nerviest men ever in the service was Ed Kennuck, who was Rathbone's right hand man. Some years ago he was detailed to look after a eang of Cincinnati crooks, and while loafing abont in Cincinnati he was ar rested as a vagrant. He refused to reveal his identity and was sent to the workhouse, where he remained for 30 days as a prisoner. While In that institution he found the very men he was after, and after serving his time he was received as a member of the gang. After ward he was successful in tripping 12 of the scamps who were wanted, and Major Carter adds, with a chuckle: Tdon't suppose that to this day the Cincinnati autborities know that they once had a United States officer In their workhouse as a vagrant." BHE PREFERRED TO WALK. A Woman Jnmpa From a Train, Fearing to Cross a Bridge. Bbazil, Inn., November L A woman got on the fast eaBt-bound train at Eaglesfield yester day afternoon. It was evidently the first time, she had ever been on a train, and it was noticed that she was nervous and excited. As the train slowed up before crossing the bridge over Eel river, at Keelsville, the woman rushed out of the car and leaped from the platform, roll in? down a steep embankment. The train was stopped, and it was found that in splte'of her lone fall she' was only slightly injured. She refused-to get on the train again, and walked back to her home at EaglesQeld. , AH ACRE OF FLAME Escaping Ga Ignited and tbe Miami Slver Set on Fire. Dattou, O., November L Natural gas pipes have been laid all through tbe Soldiers' Home grounds, and the gas turned on. The'gas es caped from one of the mains and got Into a sewer leading to the Miami river, two miles away. Borne one lighted the gas at the mouth of the sewer, and Instantly acre of flame shot over the river. The water for 100 feet around the sewer mouth was nearly at boiling point for two or three hours, and stones on tbe river bank were so hot that tbey couldn't be touched. No real damage was done.

The Tiresome Check on the Cable Cart Bow to Evodo It A Tip to Parenta. When the Conductor came through the Fifth avenue cable car last night the man who sat next tome handed him a nickel and said with laudable brevity, "Oakland." I took some interest in this passenger because he occupied a cornet seat which I .coveted, and I rejoiced when he said that little word "Oakland." But when tbe car came to Oakland the man in the corner never budged. The conductor came to .him in duo time and asked him where he bad got on, and the passenger replied Wood streets I thought 1 could keep my nickel as easily as your check." I instance this merely to show a way of avoid, ing the bother of hunting for that conductor's check if you pay your way through to the East End. The check always hides itself away In isome pocket corner, as you know well enough t you travel often on that cable line. Anotheb man was not so wise. He paid 10 Cents for the full trip and received the check from the conductor. When he reached Oakland he remembered suddenly that he had not pur chased an article at the drugstore which his wife had commissioned him to get without fail. He asked the conductor if he could get off at uaitiana, visit the drugstore there and make the rest of the journey on another car without paying again. The conductor referred him to the conditions printed on t.he check, which ex plicitly state that it is only good for passage on the car on which it is issued. So the young man had to pay 15 cents for his ride home that night The expedient adopted by the man mentioned in the first paragraph Is likely to become popu lar. V IT is a carious though common habit of par ents to regard their offspring as children long after the latter have come to tbe years ot dis cretion. A city hotel clerk told me of an odd Instance ot this which happened not long ago. A gen tleman no longer young came up to the desk and registered In a hurry as "Mr. Blank, wife and two children." The clerk Supposed natur ally enough from this that he bad a couple of children of tender years to provide a room for. The hotel was rather full, and the clerk found that to give' these guests a couple of rooms with communicating doors he had to go to the top of the house, no reasoned that the parents would insist on having their little ones near them, so he gave them reluctantly the rooms nearest the root. Soon after the party had been shown to their abiding place on high the paternal chief Came to the desk with a grieved expression on bis countenance. "Why did you put me on the rooft" he asked, "I thought you'd like to have your daughters near you communicating doors, you know get frightened in a Btrange place and that sort of thing," tbe clerk replied rather nervously. "They get frightened?" said the guest with a grim smile. "1 wish I knew what wonld scare them. Why, one has been all over the world, and the other has' been three Bisons at the seashore. You can put them anywhere, only bring me downstalrsl" When tbe clerk went into supper that night he saw the two children of his Imagination. Both were as tail as he and neither of them would ever see 20 again. The moral to parents is: Register your grown-up. daughters' names in f nil when you go to a hotel. A SUBSTITUTE FOR A KAYX. General Howard Considers a Modern Ex plosive as Good at Many Ships. Washington, November L The report ot General O. O. Howard, commanding the divi sion of the Atlantic, to the Adjutant General, for the year ended September 80, 1689, calls at tention to the lack of armament ot neatly all seacost stations. "Our needs in this direction," be says, "have been so often 'and recently re potted on by my predecessors, that I deem it useless to more than call attention to the sub ject again. The time has undoubtedly come when some positive action In the matter of permanent defenses is demanded." In this connection the subject of high ex plosives should be discussed. He calls atten tion to "Americanite," tbe invention of a young Russian, formerly botanist of the Point Bar row expedition, which is tbe safest and best ex Elosive tbe General kdoWi.lt has been adopted y the Standard Oil Company for 'shooting" its wells. "With such a powerful agent the problem of coast defense is resolved almost into one of range, and our great seaboard cities can be made comparatively safe without ex. cessive expenditure." A Plausible Theory. From the Washington PostI: We haven't heard much lately about the great Ohio industry of nailing lies. We are, therefore, constrained to think they must have run out of nails.

Mrs. ABrunot will, return home this evening from the tenth biennial International Coafer ferenceof the Women's Christian Association of America, held at Baltimore. In a letter to The Dispatch she says: On Tuesday, after devotional exercise, a welcome was read from the President, Mrs, Davis, who was 111. Mrs. Beebe, ot New York, was appointed to preside over the meetings. She fulfilled her duties with, grace and courtesy. In tbe evening a reception was held at the Young Woman's Boarding Home. Our own former associate In Pittsburg, C. A Work, has a Bible class at tbo Home on Sunday after noons and a devotional meeting on Thursday evening. On the second day reports were given from different cities about their, plans of work. Papers on "Onr name and its significance," "Should not our associations educate and train the workers as well as do the work?" "Mater nity Work." as Inaugurated by the Utica branch of the Woman's Christian Association, and "How shall we make self supporting women sharers in the work ot the association?'' were read. On Thursday the report from the Woman's Christian Association of Pittsburg and Alle gheny was read. Much pleasure and surprise were expressed at tbe work in the 11 homes. A delegate asked if ail the benevolent work ot Pittsburg; was under the care of tbe Woman's Christian Association. I replied: "By no means. , Much was done' beforo our organiza tion had its being. Now we work in such bar mony that often when a new work is demanded, some of our workers take it up. We are with out debt, receive no State aid, and the property or all our branches united Is worth about (200, 000." Papers on "Employment Bureaus" and "The Needs of Belf-sapporting Women" were read. The last paper was so prolific in its thoughts and belts that we desire it to be printed in full hp our daily papers, tor It should come home to every woman's daily life and action. The afternoon session was only open to delegates for private consultation. Friday morning Invitations were presented for the next biennial conference at Ban Fran cisco. Prayer service and closing of a most profitable meeting was followed by loving per sonal adieus. Tbe lunches for three days were given at the ML Vernon Hotel. Friday after noon the conference Was Invited to visit and inspect the Johns Hopkins HospitaL This is probably tbe most thoroughly equipped hos pital in America. In looking; back on the four days' work and the reports, so very many things come to me of such deep and vital In terest that 1 know not bow even to allude to them In the space you can give to this work. All are doing a blessed work for our Master In trying to bring bis creatures up to what He re quires of His children. Boston, New York, Cleveland and our own Pittsburg and Alle gheny Branch stand out most prominently. M.H.B. THIRTIETH ANJSITERSART. Interesting Exercises tit the First Conarega. tlondl Church. The First Congregational Church of Alle gheny commenced their celebrations last even ing in honor of the Thirtieth anniversary ot the church. Thesenric.es commemorative of the birth of Congregationalism in this city will be continued until to-morrow evening. A very in tereating programme is the result ot the efforts of the ladles of the churob, upon whom has fallen almost the entire responsibility of the occasion. The lecture room was beautifully decorated with potted plants and appropriate mottoes ana tilled to overflowing with happy people. Rev. A M. Hills commenced the exercises with prayer. Mrs. Jennie M. Dickinson, one of the most active charitable workers in the city, and a former president of the Aid Society, in a very interesting manner, gave a resume of the work accomplished by the society during tile past SO years. She was followed by Mrs. Adams, tbe present; President. At the conclusion of the programme a delightfully sociable lunch was served in the cozy church parlors. This evening a general camp fire social will be in order, when all the members will be expected to give reminiscences of the past On Sunday afternoon special features ot Interest will be observed and addresses made by some of the former superintendents. The church has great reason to rejoice In the celebration of its anniversary. Thirty years ago last evening, when it was organized, there were only 69 members, and the parlor of the late Columbus West was the place of worship. Now, after occupying several buildings, both rented and owned by the Society, they have a membership of 800. Last April they dedicated their present church, which cost them $1S,OCO. THE OLD E.NOLISII OUST0-. &" A Cuarmtna Dinner Given by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Neglev, of Fifth Avenue. Tbe responsibilities and cares of lite were all ignored in tbe handsome home Of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Negley, Fifth avenue, last evening. The long table in the elegantly appointed dining room, with its spotless napery, handsome Silver and cut glassware gave one an appetite. Mrs. George A Berry, Mrs. Dr. Kumlor, Mrs. Georco W. Dllworth, Mrs. John M. Kennedy, Mrs. Robert Pitcairn, Mrs. William Palmer, Judge Sterritt, the guest ot honor; Mr. John M. Ken nedy, Judge Hawkins, Mr. Robert Pitcairn. Rev. Dr. Kumler, Mr. George Ai Berry, and Mr. Bruce Miller, son of tbe host and hostess, were their guests. One hour was spent, in de lightful conversation and enjoyment of the del icacies of the season furnished by Kuhn, in seven courses.

IN THE MIDST OF LIFE. There may be a time in the coarse of a life One time in a lire, that Is alt- When the sense of relief becomes wholly rife, And the feelings of care grow small; When we've paid every cent that we owe. In the world We have not a throb of regret; But, goodnessl iow soon the old banner's un furled, , "In the mldstof life we're ln-debt." It may last a minute,, it may last a day, This measure ofjoywMch we took; But It doesutt take long till we all have to say- Must charge that account on the book." The freedom is over, new bills are designed, We see that the end is not yet'; Ye gods I but how black are these word under lined: lathe midst of life we're ia-debt."
