The renewal of talk to the effect that
an attempt will be made for the enforce
ment of the unit rule, so far as the Penn
sylvania delegation is concerned, warrants
a plain word or two as to that course. If
attempted it will be a display of political
machinery that should not be permitted
by the convention. The expectation that
the rule, if et-tablished, will be operated
in the interest of the Biaine movement
makes no difference to any man with an
honest conception of the rights of repre
sentation. TnE DispATcn has clearly ex
pressed its belief that, if Mr. Blninc's per
sonal circumstances will permit, the pop
ular demand for his nomination should be
respected. But over and above any per
sonal choice is the necessity of respecting
the principle of houest and fair repre
sentation by counting every vote in the
convention as it is cast. Mr. Blaine can
be nominated by the votes of delegates
who favor him. If he could not, he should
not be nominated at all.
If there is a delegate from Pennsylvania
who has been instructed for Harrison, or
who prefers Harrison without instructions,
he is entitled to have his vote counted for
Harrison. To pervert his vote, because
the majority of the delegation vote the
other way, is simply taking away his repre
sentative character. If it was a correct
principle that the vote of any State should
be cast as a unit, time and trouble could
be saved by sending one man to Chicago
to cast the vote of the State. The very
nature of a delegate carries with it the
right to exercise his choice.
The unit rule is an old and familiar de
vice of machine politics to keep the con
trol in the hands of the prevailing element.
Having been thorougly defeated a decade
ago it should not be revived in this era of
our politics.
rKOIIlBITlO.N AND siN'cisRirr.
The Prohibition State Convention was
held at Scranton yesterday. However
much one may differ from the platform of
these good people, it is impossible to re
frain from admiration of their sturdy sin
cerity. They have the credit of being
the only political party which directly
tackles matters of social morality. No
man can accuse them of keeping up their
enthusiasm by a prospect of spoils to be
divided. The comparative hopelessness
of their struggle makes their continued
perseverance the more creditable.
It is to be regretted that men should be
intemperate in any direction, but it is also
a matter for congratulation that there are
people to be found who try to improve
the world rather than their own position
by entering the political arena. The more
people we have who show that ardent de
sire to reform mankind which the Pro
hibitionists sincerely profess, the sooner
will the world be improved, though proba
bly not just on the lines laid down by this
somewhat intolerant body.
THE SILVER BID.
A pertinent reply to Senator Stewart's
threat, in his interview in The Dispatch's
Washington specials the other day, is
made by the Chicago Tribune. The Sen
ator threatened that if the Republican
platform dees not contain a "liberal silver
plank" half a dozen Republican States in
the West will go over to the Democratic
party; and if the Democratic party does
not do the same they will be likely to seek
the congenial companionship of the
People's Party.
The reply to this is the very cogent one
that the Republican psrty is not going to
let the tail wag the dog to the extent of
stultifying it by a free coinage plank m
favor of scaling down the unit of values
30 per cent; the Democratic party will
make its most significant utterance by
nominating Mr. Cleveland; while the
People's Party, if it should succeed, would
not bother itself about silver, but would
turn out a full supply ot purely' fiat paper
money to flood.the country-. As the carry
ing of half a dozen States by this party
would throw the election into the House
and make Cleveland's election a moral
certainty, it is hard to see exactly how the
sliver mine owners would make much by
their motion.
Of course, Senator Stewart's idea of a
"liberal silver plank" is one which will
show liberality to the people with silver
to sell. They had better cive up the idea
that they can make merchandise of their
votes in that style. The situation will not
permit any party to take any other
position than the restoration of silver by
the coinage of a dollar equal in bullion
value to that of gold
Tin: difference in r,ovEi:njiESTs.
The result of that gas fight in Cleveland
presents an example which Pittsburg may
do well to study. A year ago Cleveland
turned things upside down in a municipal
election, and the new city government
proceeded to legislate in the interests of
the people. We are not prepared to say
that other points of attack micht not have
been selected of as great importance to
the people as the price ot gas. But that
was the issue adopted by the Cleveland
municipal reformers. They opened an in
cisive warfare, and were met by all the
familiar corporate tactics of delay and d
fiance. After these had been exhausted
the companies came down to a compro
mise which fixes the price of gas at 80
cents, and in consideration of that ar
rangement the gas companies pay the city
a revenue of 550,000 per year on the
present consumption, which will increase
as tho consumption goes up.
Asthis makes the net price of gas re
ceived bv the Cleveland companies frac-
WheB
tion under 75 cents per thousand, the
point will at once occur to every citizen
that there is no reason why Pittsburg
should pay more for gas than Cleveland,
except m the conditions of municipal pol
itics. If there is any difference it should
ho in favor of Pittsburg. Gas coal should
be cheaper by a liberal amount 'per ton
and the process of manufacture and distri
bution is no more costly. The difference
between Pittsbunr's dollar rate and Cleve
land's seventy-five cent rate represents
the difference between a municipal gov
ernment operated in the interest of the
people and oue operated in the interest of
favoied corporations.
When Pittsburg wishes the work per
formed in Cleveland to be done here, not
only in relation to illuminating gas, but
extended to telephones, transit lines and
other public services, it can secure it by
electing the kind of city government which
Cleveland chose a year ago.
AS TO liXAIKEN FRIENDS.
It is one of the commonest assertions of
those who seek a renomination for Mr.
Harrison that the "real friends" of Mr.
Blaine are openly against his being con
sidered by the convention at Minneapolis.
The other view of this Is of course that
those who now urge his nomination are
either his enemies or those of Mr. Harri
son. Whitelaw Reid, Charles -Emory
Smith and Secretary Stephen B. Elkins
are pointed to as distinguished examples
of old time friendship for the Secretary of
State, who now say he will not enter the
Presidental struggle.
If these gentlemen are what they are de
clared to be the closest and most potent
of Mr. Blaine's friends a nd well wishers
it is singular that their com
bined influence has not been sufficient
to obtain from Blaine a specific declara
tion that under no circumstances will he
head the ticket Messrs. Reid and Smith
are more or less connected with the editor
ial columns of two well-known newspa
pers. Either of them would readily under
stand the value of a Blaine refusal at this
time from a journalistic point of view.
As Mr. Harrison's field marshal, Mr.
Elkins is peculiarly in shape to compre
hend ho vW desirable such an utterance
would be to the President.
The truth of the matter is that Mr.
Elkins is charced with sacrificing Mr.
Blaine for Mr. Harrison in 1888; Mr. Reid
has not recovered from the shock
which was given him by Mr.
Blaine's friends in the Senate when
his French treaty was slaughtered,
and besldes-he has ambitions of his own
which an Eastern Presidental nomination
would entirely destroy. As for Mr. Smith,
he is keeping in line with those who be
lieve in Harrison and his future ability to
name ministers to Berlin, Paris and Lon
don.
Whatever may have been the origin of
the present Blaine movement, it Is now
backed by all true friends- of the man
from Maine, whether they hold or have
ever held office under tho present admin
istration, and the gentlemen named do
not seem to be among them.
THE BUSINESS RETURN1.
The report of the business tax returns
for firms doing a business of $100,000 or
more, published elsewhere, fully bears out
the predictions already made in The Dis
patch. The marked increase in the totals
of these returns cannot be explained on
the supposition of an enlarged liberality
on the part ot the merchants of the city
in reporting their business for taxation.
It is the necessary inference from this in
crease that the trade of Pittsburg con
tinues to grow in the manner Indicated,
bu. not so conclusively demonstrated by
other returns.
From the evidence of these returns, a3
well as the statistics of iron production for
last year, we are led to the gratifying conclu
sion that both our commercial and indus
trial interests have proved themselves
superior to the adverse influences which
have been supposed to affect trade. Up
to the present year our commercial and
manufacturing operations have continued
to expand notwithstanding the time has
been generally regarded as one of liquida
tion and shrinkage. If the same summary
can be made of the present year's opera
tions Pittsburg will take rank as a city
whose business Interests rest upon so
solid a foundation as to be able to resist
the fluctuations and depressions which
affect trade in other parts of the country.
DIVIDING UP THE PLUNDER.
The House of Representatives has done
a little toward the policy of retrenchment
by cutting down the sundry civil appro
priation bill some 510,000,000 from the
total of the previous Congress. Of course,
the Republican organs which last week
were arraigning the Democratic majority
for its failure to redeem the pledge of
retrenchment on the other bills, now cry
out that it is crippling the Government by
refusing to appropriate the necessary ex
penses of carrying on the administration.
The fact is that this, appropriation
presents a remarkably good field for re
trenchment It is one of the departments
of expenditure which shows an immense
Increase, inexplicable save on the
score of extravagance from the scale of
expenses a dozen years ago. Of course,
the varied nature of its items includes
cases where retrenchment is wise, and
others where it is not. Whether the
House has cut down the right ones may
be i question to be decided from the
details of the bill. But its record already
is in keeping the extravagant, scale in
appropriations which partake of the char
acter of "pork." The Republican organs
have strong ground for criticising the
Democratic majority in the House, not for
cutting down the sundry civil appropria
tion, but for its prodigality in other ap
propriations in which the members have
an interest
In the meantime the Senate has chival
rously determined that it will take no un
fair advantage of the House by presenting
an example of retrenchment It is bent
on showing that one party is just as bad as
the other, and no worse. That reported
25 per cent cut in the river and harbor
bill, which balanced so poorly as to actual
figures, balances still worse when the com
mittee is through with the bill. The
House items were scaled the promised 25
per cent in the first instance, and then the
members proceeded to restore the items in
which thev or their constituents had an
interest until the entire amount, less $50,
000, was restored to the bill. A better ex
ample of the principle, of addition and
division, on which appropriations are
made, could hardly be asked for.
It seems that the idea of economy and
disinterestedness in the use of the public
funds has been definitely abandoned as
something too useless at this age to profess
any respect for. If the people think differ
ently, they have got to take a very positive
way of expressing their opinion.
TnE deep hold which civil service regu
lations had upon the President three years
and a half -ago peema weakening. One of the
Chicago papers says: "John C. New, the
chief manager of the Hairison forces, lost
no time alter his arrival in the city yester
day in conferrinT with the Federal officers
here with a view to organizing them for
Korl: at Minneapolis. Evory man who can
he spared from the Federal Building will
have to go to hurrah for the renominatlon."
A member of Councils asserts that the

trolled or it would surely be discovered by
its works.

was a big demonstration in Cork last neck
by way of farewell to Mr. Pnrnell, tn which

THE HAEBOR BILL IN A FIX.
Its Friends Becoming Anxious as to
its
Ultimate Fate In the llirase.
WAsmicoTOX, D. C, June 1. The friends of
the "Riverand Harbor" bill aro becoming
somewhat anxious as to its ultimate fate.
At present it stands upon the calendar with
the Senate amendments pending. Should it
ngain, as according to the rules It must do,
run the gauntlet of the committee of the
whole, the time of its final passage would
he wholly problematical, as every amend
ment would be subject to further amend
ment, end its enemies could take advantage
of the present depleted condition or the
House to postpone its passage indefinitely.
Confronted with this condition, the ad
vocates of the measuro have decided to ask
the House to suspend the rules on Monday
next in order to non-concur in the Senate
amendments and to agiee to a conference.
As this motion will require a two-thlid vote,
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors is
using means to make sure that every friend
of the bill shall be present upon that day.
