Decoration Day vras well observed. The
men who some thirty ears ago sacrificed
everything at their countrj s time of need
were gratefull' remembered and honored
by old and young The speeches and cer
emonies at the graves of those who for
sook home and cery personal interest to
rally to the national flag were fitting
tokens of a debt that can never be repaid.
Nature h?d done her share in brightening
the last resting places of the departed
brave, and loving hearts and willing hands
eked out the work of the season. But
these outward tribute', beautiful and ap
propriate though they be, should be ac
companied by a permanent and never
failing continuance of that patriotic spirit
to which the country owes its present
greatness.
Never again will the nation be torn by
civil strife. Nev er in all probability for
such is America's increasing strength
will the citizens of this land be called up
on to bear arms against a foreign power.
Tet there are duties of patriotism which
have as strong a claim upon every Amer
ican to-day as ever had those which were
answered with enthusiasm in the past
The spirit of patriotism is for all times.
It Is as useful in an era of peace and pros
perity as in the crisis of war and trouble.
Iet this be constantly borne in mind by
citizens of every sort and condition, and
the vast progress hitherto experienced
will sink into comparative insignificance
beside the glories of the future.
AN IMPORTAM FACTOR.
There is a sign of progress on the road
question m the law recently enacted in
Michigan that the users of broad wagon
tires the width being regulated according
to the weight of the wagon shall be en
titled to a rebate of half the road tax.
The arrangement is alike advantageous to
the farmer, the taxpayer and the general
public It Is most timely when some prog
ress has been made in the actual con
struction of improved roads; but as a pre
paratory measure it is judicious.
It is self evident that when a road is
macadamized or graveled, the passage of
heavy loads supported on narrow tires
wears it out in ruts. But the same load on
tires eight inches broad, the hind wheels
projecting bejond the front, in effect is
exactly the same as if a roller had passed
over two feet eight inches of surface. The
same thing is true to a less degree of pave
ments; and it is a sign of the superior care
for pavements in European cities that the
strength of tire necessary to carry given
weights, over pavements there is the sub
ject of strict regulation.
The justice of such a provision as that
adopted in Michigan is plain when we
consider the effect if all the heavy loads
transported over an improcd roadway
were carried on wheels of such breadth as
roll instead of cut up the road. The cost
of repairing the roads would be reduced
more than half. Every such load would
tend to improve the road by compacting
and hardening the surface; and the liabil
ity of the road to get out of repair would
be reduced to a minimum.
The broad tire for heavily loaded
wagons is one of the important factors of
preserving good roadwajs when they are
made. It should not be neglected in any
comprehensive scheme for road improve
ment. AN EXAMPLE OF SMOKE PKKYEXTION.
There is an example for the study and
emulation of Pittsburg in the report
which we find of a ruling last week of
the Appelate Court of Chicago. The
case was an appeal against a fine for the
violation of the "smoke ordinance," and
the ruling fully sustained the imposition
of the fine. In this case we obsen e the
following grahfjing facts. First, that an
ordinance forbidding the pouring out on
the surrounding population of clouds of
unnecessary smoke has been enacted and
upheld by the courts; second, that the or
dinance is being rigorously enforced to
the extent of convicting and fining of one
of the most prominent and influential
firms of the city; and finally, that a court
of appeal has held that the proof of the
fact of smoke is sufficient evidence that
it is a public injury. On this point the
language of the court is worth quoting.
It is a matter of common knowledge that
smoke becomes soot, -which falls and black
ens where it rests; that it is injurious to
vegetation, to many Kinds or goods, and an
noying to people. This common knowledge
is so generally diffused in Chicago tbat no
Jury could be without it.
With this public example and judicial
declaration before us it deo!es on the
city of Pittsburg to show cause why it
should not go and do likewise.
A NAME AND NO MORE.
A practice of somewhat long standing
in the Old World, but more infrequent in
this country, is that of loaning piominent
names to corporations with no other pur
pose than that of floating the shares. A
Florida land and investment company
took this mode of commending itself to
public attention by parading General
Butler's name as its vice president in its
widely disseminated advertisements. The
company has now gone to pot; the stock
1 olders are wondering what has become of
their money, and General Butler calmly
disclaims all connection with the manage
ment or responsibility for it.
The astute old lawyer is probably very
thoroughly posted as to his legal responsi
bility, but there is a question of moral
responsibility in connection with it. Is it
right for a mat! to permit his name to be
used in a way liable to attract people's
savings without the slightest care whether
the enterprise is a solvent one or a bare
faced swindle ? General Butler can hard
ly have been aware that his name was
widely advertised as Vice President of
this company. If he was really Vice Pres
ident it was not business honesty to neg
lect taking a part in the management at
least to the extent of satisfying himself
that it was a solvent concern. If he was
not an officer he should have slopped the
use of his name.
We believe it is the case that under the
law people who permit the use of their
names in that way incur no liability. But
that is simply because the law does not
cover the case. There should be a definite
liability in every instance where the name
is used by its owner's consent, either di
rectly or tacitly.
WAN ill KEK UNDER FIRE.
The charge made m connection with
the letting of the contract for a pneumatic
mail service is of the kind that requires a
prompt response in order to prevent it
from becoming a damaging feature in this
j ear's campaign. It is of course of less
weight Viith the public than it would be
coming from some other source than the
man who did get his pneumatic system
adopted; but e en from that source alle
gations so definite as some that are made
in connection with this subject have to be
promptly met when the administration is
on the eve of a national campaign.
The complainant against the Postmaster
General in this case is S. F. Leake, of the
Leake Pneumatic Transportation Com
pany. He makes affidavit that he offered
to furnish the Government an experi
mental pneumatic S3 stem for the city of
Philadelphia free of cost. This offer, he
avers, was met by the Postmaster General
witii objections as to the informality
of the offer, as to the right to
lay pneumatic tubes in the streets,
and as 'to the security of the
performance of the offer. All these ob
jections were met, one after the other, but,
notwithstanding them. Mr. Wanamaker
made a contract with another company
for a considerable sum of money. In this
company it is charged that the Postmaster
General was interested by a gift of 7,500
shares of stock; the affiant giving the
names of the people who said so.
It is to be observed that the direct
charge of corruption rests exclusively on
hearsay evidence and until supported by
more direct proof is hardly worthy of
much credence. But as against such a
high officer of the Government even a
hearsay charge of dishonesty should be
traced to its source and thoroughly venti
lated. Apart from that phase of the at
tack, the matters directly testified to are
of such moment that a public explanation
is required. The administration cannot
afford to have its postal department rest
under even the su-picion of either favorit
ism or incompetence.
The affidavit has been sent to the Con
gressional Investigating Committee, and
Mr. Wanamaker has asked for an Investi
gation. That course is the only one to
take when such charges are definitely
made.
SOME SOUND MAXIMS.
Ex-President Hayes delivered a me
morial speech at Columbus yesterday
which was "as full of valor as of kind
ness." And it was as full of sound sense
as of elegant expression. He points out
two main things for the nation to remem
ber: With regard to international affairs
we need fear no nation rind it is our duty
to use our influence to enlarge the sphere
of arbitration. For internal matters we
must prize those much-abused words,
equality and fraternity, at their true
value.
If these maxims be borne in mind in all
cases of disputes with others, and in
framing and executing legislation for our
selves, we shall do more than can be fore
told for the furtherance of social progress
to that stage at which the brotherhood of
man is more than a mere empty phrase.
TOE TORY DILEMMA.
The declarations, first, that the Salis
bury Ministry will dissolve Parliament
this month, and, next, that it will hang on
to the spring of 1893, are irreconcilable.
They probably arise from the very nat
ural state of affairs that the members of
the Ministry do not yet know how it will
be decided. It is said that Lord Salis
bury prefers the course of an immediate
dissolution, while Mr. Balfour wishes to
hang on long enough to pass his local gov
ernment bill and give it six months of
operation before the election. As no one
believes the local government bill was
ever intended for enactment, this view
does not impress anyone with its especial
probability.
Perhaps no one thing exhibits the dif
ficulties which the Tories have in keep
ing up their courage more than this disposi
tion to hang on to their majority till the
last gasp. While there is no constitutional
obstacle to letting a Parliament ex
pire by limitation, the policy of
doing that has been unusual, and
no other motive can be attached to
the course than that of hanging on to
power to the latest possible moment
There will be little disposition to assign
any other motive to the postponement of
dissolution. Tones and Liberal Unionists
will get eight or ten months' longer lease
of life before meeting the impending de
feat; and the Government will have the
chance of something turning up in its
favor in the meantime.
Tet is this chance equal to the confes
sion involved in putting off the dissolution
expected by English opinion this summer ?
Only unless the Tories are willing to
acknowledge that their prospects are
desperate as they now stand. 'The world
will soon know whether Salisbury will
determine to put his fate to the test, to
win or lose it all, or to cling to power as
long as the English Constitution will let
him.
ONE ECONOMICAL ASPECT.
The present aspect of the political field
promises fortune for the provident soul
who saves up old campaign banners, mot
toes, regalia and tbe other paraphernalia
whereby political conviction is carried to
the popular heart. Perhaps this is the
tribute paid by the political forces to the
need for retrenchment and reform. There
has been no recognition of that need in
Congress on the part of either party; but
when we reflect on the quadrennial ex
penditure for banners bearing the names
of the candidates, for campaign rhymes
and calls of a new and dreadful character,
and all the other things constructed to the
names of the candidate, a course' which
w ill save all these expenditures ought to
be extremely grateful to the people who
put up the campaign funds.
All this can be done by the nomination
of the candidates of 1881. The Blaine
and Cleveland flags, mottoes, banners and
armor will come into play now as well as
then, as good as new for their eight jear3
retirement The people who have
afforded them storage room can realize a
good return on their original small invest
ment and yet make them cheaper than
new stuff. The campaign managers can
even salt down a liberal percentage for
their economy, and still let up somewhat
easier on the long-suffering fat-frjee.
The campaign of 1884 repeated with
emendations and variations let us hope
ought to be an economical one. It will
save wear and tear on the gray matter
ot the political brain, and permit a reha
bilitation of the campaign funds, so that
they can even pay up the high prices for
oratory which the managers promise.
Hunters, whether they be Nimrods,
Ramrods or Fislnngrods, aie generally too
much absorbed by tlio pursuit of game to
find the truth. Any way they seldom leport

THE LESSONS OF WAR.
Ex-President Hayes' Speech to Veterans at
Colnmbos A Small Army and Wealc
Navy Not Such Great Drawbacks Priv
ileges and National Strength of the
United States.
Columbus, O , May 30 A laige assemblage
of veterans and citizens gathered at Colum
bus to-day to listen to the menioiial addicus
ofex-President Kutherfoid B. Hajes. Gen
eral Hayes was in excellent health, and
easily held the attention of tho large audi
ence. The opening portion of the General's
addiesswa- devoted to an analysis of war
and its lesulttng effects The concluding
portion w as especially notable. He said:
lie astounding piogrcss of America uur-
in:
the war and by leason of it during the
last 27 v ears has cairicd us onwardand up
ward until we have reached a rank among
the nations so commanding that we our
selves can hnidly lealize cither the priv
ileges that are ours or t he lesponsibilities and
duties which those privileges impose upon u.
It is our piivilese to be without extensive
and costly loirllications, becamo we do not
need them. We havo only a small navy be
cause with our resources we aie able, if tho
need comes, to subsidize the ships of almost
all other nations except those of the power
with which we ai oat war. We havo to-day
the lamest, the cheapest, the safest and the
mo3t efficient and toi midablearmy the world
his ever seen. It consists ot moi e than 10,
000,000 educated men who are not merely
elf Mistaining, but who. engaged in the
peaceful induitiies of civil life, are con
stantly adding to out w eulth and power. To
keep this army up to its maximum of num
bers and stiengtu we have nioro than a
quarter of a million of school houses under
the old fl ig, eveiy ono of which is nt once a
forttes and a lecruiting station for the
aimy of the Republic.
Actions Mnch bonder Than Words.
"With our privileges and national
strength the conditions appointed br Provi
dence foi human existence for nations as
well as individuals require us to bear the
Durden of coi responding duties. The occa
sion permits me to call your attention verv
briefly to two or the obligations devolved
upon us. One relates to our dealings with
forpiun nations; theothei concerns our own
citizens and our own immediate welfare.
America ousht to ue the pi ecious oppor
tunity which her weight in the woild has
givcnbei to keep the peace of tho woild. It
is altogether fitting tli.it this toi tunate Kc
public should be the peicemukei o'f the
woild. Actions -peak louder than words.
Example avails. Wo can better aflord to
iitffci wions than to do wrong, and espe
cially in dpaling w ith weaker nations.
No othei nation is so great that it will
evei agiin seek to knoclc the chip on" our
shoulders We should of course always be
Just, but we can affoidalso to be moderate,
considerate, charitable and luaginnimoin.
Let our examnle, voice and Influonce be
consistently, sincerely and firmly on the
-ide of pace in favor of arbitration and
against war. Let it be understood that
America will engitgc in no war that is not
abso!utcl forced upon her. We should
adopt the familiar maxim of the grot dra
matist: "Bewaie of entrance to a quarrel;
but being in it, so boir it that the opposed
may bewaie of thee." We ouht indeed to
advance both parts of Shakespeare's advice.
Large Armies Fat-U to Librtv.
Large standing armies are fatal to lib
erty. Wai is tho enemy of civilization and
we ought to keep out of war until diiven to
the wall. But when compelled to act, let
tho example of tho old Unmans he followed:
"Caithngodelentla est" Let Caithage be de
stroved Whea America is driven into war
let that wai end only with annihilation of
the power that caused it. Let it be under
stood thatwhoevei makes war w ith America
will nevei mike war again. Oar gospel is
peace. If war must conic, its aim and end
should be a peace that cannot again be
broken by the svne offendei.
Another lesson inculcated by war is for
America still moie impoitant. Ml wais
educate Of our war it has been slid. "Ideas
wero behind the cannon and pointed the
musket." Abraham Lincoln wastheveiy
incarnation of these ideas, and they aie at
once the secret and the suic foundation of
the enduiinsr plato which he holds in the
affections of all good men and women The
sentiments which filled his soul and were
the guide of his life w ere hnmani tj ; anxious
solicitude foi the welfare of his fellow men;
sjmpathy with tho suffering and the op
piesed;hitied ot wrong to the humblest
human being, and our common brotherhood.
The lesson of bis wondertul life contains
nlmost the whole tutuie of our country. It
is short and simple.
At the Partinc of Two iloads.
Our Amenea to-day is drawing near to
the parting of the roads. Dazzled almost to
blindness by the contemplation of unrivaled
swiftness and splondoi of hermaicn to pies
tige, to powti, and to richness, our country
maybe tempted toi eject or may neglect the
message of Lincoln. Thit message was often
lepeatedby him in words, and always ex
hibited in his life, from his latest day on
earth. It can easily be givenln a single sen
tence. His whole lite, his very being, seemed
to say to his country: "See to it that every
person and daughtci or our Republic, so fai
as human law s and conduct avail, shall have
an equal chanco and a fair start in the race
of life."
Knowledge is power and property Is
power. The republic means opportunity
tho equal opportunity to get knowledse,
which, in tho long run, commands piopeitv.
The practical meaning of Lincoln's maxim
is, thercfoie, let all tho children of the Re
public have an equal opportunity foi the
best education which theii natural facilities
fit them to receive. Reject or neglect this,
and our Government ceases to be lepub
lican, except in name, and that doom which
tho Almighty has appointed for all shams is
not lar off. On the other hand, let the
Ammican people remain steadfastly true to
the ideas foi which thev fought in the sa
cred wai, a" d we shall thus do all tbat lies
in us to link tne destiny of our country to
the stars and to entitle her institutions to
share in that immortality which, under the
allotment of Pi ovidence in the affairs or
nations, belongs always and only to eternal
wisdom and eternal Justice.
ANOTHER SHIP EMLEOAD.
It Is Proposed to Carry Ships Between
Laks Huron and Ontario.
Montreal, Mav TO A gieat scheme lias
been launched by a nuuibct of prominent
Canadian capitalists to connect the Georgian
Bay and Lake Ontaiio by a mammoth ship
railway. Mr. E. L. Corthell, an en
gineer of Chicazo, who was asso
ciated with Captain Eads In tho
construction of the Tehuantepec ship
railway across tho Isthmus of Panama, has
been consulted by the promoters, and has
given his opinion thnt tho scheme is thor
oughly practical. Mi.Coithell hisjustie
turned from a. thorough Inspection of tho
proposed route alonz tho small divide be
tween the two bodies of watei from near
Collingwood, on Geoigian Bay, and the
neighborhood of Toronto, on Lake Ontario,
a dlstanco of C6 miles. He cxpi esses the
opinion that theie could not be lounil an)
wheie a strip of countiy bettor adapted in
easy grades for a natural loute.
The roadbed will bo 53 feet wide and will
hav e six paraliol steel tracks. The orteinal
estimate of cost of tho work was $15,500 000.
The engineei's inspection lias conv meed him
that the sum w ill be ample to construct and
put in operation a side rail way uetwocn these
two points to cairv vessels up to 6,(03 tons
burden. The building of tho road ho is con
vinced would compel the enlargement
of the lower canals. It is utteily
impossible, he says, to provide for the
enormous commerce of tho lakes by any pos.
sible enlargement of the Erie canal, and tho
best and cheapest route to the seaboard is
by the St. Lawrence river route, of which
the ship railway will be an essential part.
The scheme, it is believod, will be heartily
supported by tho Noithwestitnd the West
ern States. A company known as tho Hu
rontano Ship Railway" Company has been
organised to undertake the project, and
several ot the promoteis will shoitly leave
tor England to interest English capitalists
in it.

In every denomination theie is a large

The Passage of the Bill Concerning Euro
pean Clothing Is Kecommended.
WAsnixoTov, May 30 Repiesentativc
Whiting, of Michigan, has piepared the
report of the Committee on Ways and
Means, recommending the passage of tho
bill to limit the amount of wearing apparel
and peisonal effects which may bo
admitted to tho United States free of
duty. The report says;
"Very few of the thousands who cross the
Atlantic return to our shoics without being
fully equipped in foreign made apparel.
Tho clothing of men, women and children
is, by reason of oui high and severe tariff
laws, very much cheaper In Europe than
in the United States. To import such
goods in tho ordinary course of trade
would increase their cost to the con
sumer by the amount of the tariff
tax paid upon them. The American
who lemains at home pays this tax. But by
packing the goods in his trunks and bring
ing them witii him as baggage, the Amer
ican tourist escapes the tax altogether. It
is doubtless tiue that many wealthy Amer
icans sav e much more than the cost ot the
tlio by going abroad and purchasing there
tbeli supply of wearing apparel and other
personal gcods. The Board of General Ap
praisers, as late lis March 5, 1S92 gave the
lollon ing construction of the existing law:
In detennlnlnr what apparel Is necessary and

"Under this constiuction of tho law, the
coriectness of which is not here gainsaid, it
is evident that the wealthier thu person is
tho gicater in quantity and value is t lie
amount of goods which ho can import free
of duty. In othei words, his exemption
from taxation increases lu proportion to his
ability to pay tho taxes."

Curious Comments of a Captious
Critic Somo Small Shot.
According to tidbits of drawing room
gossip, the Alvin Thcatcrwas selected by the
County Committee for the nomination of
Mr. Dalzell (whose convention will beheld
to-day at 10 a. m.) fiom philanthropic
motives whose basis is the sox which is
pining to nnd cannot vote. It is realized
that some day tho franchise will be ex
tended and women come to their own. In
the meantime the fact that the fair sex is
alarmingly ignorant on matters political, Is
pressing itself on tho masculine mind.
Moieover the ladies are notoriously known
to be unable to preserve their
tempers in an argument, and,
worse, they are charged with being
utterly at sea In tho ethics of controveisy
to say nothinr of an inability to wrestle with
the laws of logic. As a step to remedy all
this, the intention 1 to give them to-day a
sort of a gilt-edged introduction to the
mvsleries ot our glorious country's politics.
The talk is that thdre will be a large attend
ance of women to-day at the convention,
when Mr. Dalzell will have tbe gratification
of knowing that the women aie doing all for
him that the law permits them to do.
The smart people who form the Pitts
burg Tenuis Club know only one terror, and
that, by the way, is of their own forming.
The exact descriptive title by which it is to
be denominated is somewhat difficult to set
tle upon. In the first place, this terror is a
man, which is the least pai t of it. Next, he
is a king, an emperor, a czar, a despot, hav
ing in ills possession an inexorable veto,
more honoied in the observance than in tho
breach. Thesa executive labors aro Joe's
(lor there exist some who have called him
