THE RESTORATION OF OKDEE.
The decision of tbe Homestead workers
to receive the State troops peacefully and
even cordially cannot be too frankly rec
ognized or too warmly commended. In
doing so they concede their duty to re
spect the power of the State, and justify
the hope expressed by The Dispatch that
an interval of reflection would produce a
decided change of mind from that which
created the bloodshed and violence of last
week.
The State troops represent government,
law and peace. To oppose or obstruct
them -would be to array force against
Government and to try to pull down the
fabric of democratic law. Such a course
would be avoided by all men who are
not driven insane by the passion
of conflict. But since the Homestead men
were so far carried away as to array them
selves in violent defiance of the law, last
week, they are entitled to credit for re
gaining control of themselves, and even
emphasizing their allegiance and submis
sion to the authority of the State.
It is possibly a factor in the promised
exhibition of loyalty and even friendli
ness to the troops that is presented by
the desire to show that the presence of the
troops is unnecessary,and to secure a short
duration of their stay at Homestead. This
is a natural wish and one that is quite
legitimate, on the supposition that the
law-abiding and pacific frame of mind is
thorough and permanent The military
power having been called in, it can be dis
pensed with when the danger of further
disorder is entirely past. TVhen that de
sirable consummation is to arrive involves
much uncertainty.
Now that obedience to law and the su
premacy of iud.vidual rights is in process
of restoration, the possible settlement of
the dispute between empl03'ers and men
comes up for discussion. The function of
the troops will be solely the maintenance
of peace. They will neither force men to
work nor prevent them from working.
The decision of the wages dispute will
thus be left to pacific methods. In these
the worklngmen can hope for success from
two sources, and only two. The first is
that with the evident sympathy and aid
from labor the whole country over, they
may on the one hand be able to maintain
their position, while the indisposition of
labor generally to take work in the mills,
will make it difficult to run the works
without them.
The other possibility, though now a
remote one, is that which the great
majority of the public would be glad
to see, the final reaching of a point
where the firm will consent to a joint
hearing of the case with a view to its com
promise, either by conference or arbitra
tion. It is neither necessary nor wise
to conclude that determinations formed
by the managers of the Carnegie
Company weeks before the recent events,
and perhaps reiterated now under the pres
sure of strongantagonisms, are not suscep
tible of some modification or amendment
The universal wish that employers and
employes shall prove an ability to live in
peace; the possibility of aid to the locked
out men bv sympathetic strikers; and the
popular belief that a settlement should be
made by which the men at Homestead
can obtain work at the place v here they
live and where what property they have
is located, all point to the propriety of set
thug tne dispute by conciliatory and hon
orable resort to reason.
This method of dealing with the subject
Is to be urged because it will be the
broader and wiser course. It is idle to ig
nore the fact that there are deeper mat
ters involved in such disputes than the
bare legal rights. There are questions
in such disputes that cannot be settled
by a simple enforcement of the laws of
property. They have got to be settled by
going further back than that, sooner or
later, and the better the feeling between
capital and labor, the easier will be the so
lution. Let us hope this wise course will be
adopted. Generosity toward antagonists
is a higher quality than pugnacity, and it
is highest even where pugnacity might be
successful. When legal peace is restored,
industrial peace should follow, as a result
of the combined efforts of both sides.
CHICAGO'S ESPECIAL .STRENGTH.
While the people who recently gathered
at the convention in Chicago came away
thanking Providence that they do not
have to live there all the year round, it is
worthy of the attention of other cities that
Chicago continues to wax and prosper.
The visitor finds much to revile, but the
fact remains that the city presents a rec
ord of commercial growth which no other
city can rival.
It is a subject of profitable study to take
ffe objections to Chicago which have been
heard and compare them with her muni
cipal achievements. Political delegates
find themselves attacked with more kinds
of weather than they can endure. Dele
gates to another kind of convention are
impressed with the failings of the Chicago
water; the city itself is presenting the as
pect of having got more to do with the
World's Fair than it has money for. Yet
with all this Chicago is bustling prosper-,
ous, the center of the western trade, and
the object of comment and praise for her
enterprise the world over.
There is more than ordinary significance
In this contrast between criticism and
commercial achievement Here.is a city
with an uncertain and unpleasant climate;
located in swamps, so that the drainage
of the city can hardly be separated from h er
m
water supply; prone to promise more than
she can fulfil in public enterprises; with
no Inlets to her commerce except what
have been created for her. Yet a million
people have been gathered together there
in the prosecution of commercial growth
that is absolutely without a parallel. This
is to be explained only by one factor not
yet mentioned, namely, the existence of
an energetic public spirit and the work of
enthusiastic civic pride. Chicago repre
sents those qualities to an extraordinary
degree. Her citizens unite enthusiasti
cally In pushing forward every work for
magnifying the city, and omit no oppor
tunity of sounding her praises abroad. This
is a policy ingrained In Chicago from its
very inception, and it is the real creator of
Chicago's greatness.
The application of this fact to other
communities is not hard to perceive. If
Pittsburg had Chicago's public ambition
and civic pride, in addition to her own
natural sources of wealth, we would have
at the head of the Ohio a community as
large as two Chicagos put together.
PENNSYLVANIA NOT ALONE.
The Couer d'Alene mines in far-off
Idaho furnished a very fair Imitation of
the Homestead trouble yesterday. There
was a lively battle between union and
non-union workmen, in which there were
killed and wounded upon both sides, with
such accompaniments as explosions of
cars of giant powder and wrecking of
mines. The non-union men finally sur
rendered, and, though this all occurred In
the wild and woolly West, after the capitu
lation the defeated ones were carefully
guarded from all harm.
There is another difference In the two
disturbances. Demagogues will hardly at
tempt to make political capital against any
American policy out of the trouble in
Idaho. It will be difficult to as
cribe the battle of the miners to
McKinley and protection. Yet in all its
main features it is almost identical with
the conflict which has so attracted public
attention for the past week.
EFFICIENT QUARANTINE NEEDED.
The need of efficient quarantine at our
seaports was never more pressing than It
is likely to be for the next twelve months.
With cholera at Paris and Moscow, and
yellowfeverraging in Brazil and perennial
in Cuba, any relaxation in the vigilance of
quarantine regulations may permit a fatal
epidemic to gain a foothold in this country.
Yet while this need is apparent to every
one, it is a fact pointed out by the New
York Herald that the quarantine at that
great port of entry is by no means as
thorough as It should be. The careless
ness is shared by ship surgeons, and both
together present but a frail protection to
the country. This joint negligence per
mitted the Infection of typhus fever
to enter that port not very long ago,
and if it did not spread all over
the country, it was not due
to the vigilance of thtse officials.
More recently an Arabian woman afflicted
with leprosy was brought into the
country, and neither the surgeon of the
steamship company nor the doctors at
quarantine made the discovery which
ought to have protected first the steerage
passengers and then the country from this
contagion.
The quarantine system should be placed
on .the basis of absolute efficiency. If it is
not, and an epidemic of cholera or yellow
fever ravages the country, it may
extract what satisfaction it can from
the knowledge that thousands of lives
are sacrificed to running these branches of
public service on the political basis.
THE MARCH OF PROGRESS.
It is pleasant to observe enterprise and
and the spirit of improvement in neigh
boring cities as well as in our own. It is
therefore a subject for enthusiasm not to
say admiration in the original sense that
we discover in a recent Baltimore paper
the fact that late events have "revived
the question of a sewerage system for that
city."
The rest of the country should promptly
join in assuring Baltimore of approval
in indulging in the question of
a sewerage system, provided the
discussion of the much desired march
of progress dots not drag out an in
terminable lenglh before, they actually
begin the work of putting bnck and mor
tar together for the leal sewprs. Official
authority assures us that Baltimore is a
city, of some 500,000 people; and
we learn from the Baltimore news
paper which touches on this point that
she has a few sewers which are simply
noisome conduits. The paper referred to
thinks that this is not all that is required
to met public requirements and it urges
the revolutionary policy of a complete
sewerage system for tbe whole city.
A swerace system for a city- of 500,000
people! In the language of Gilbert's
jolly curate: Brethren, wo should think
sol Even if Mr. Gorman's efficient politi
cal ring should make the people pay four
prices, they should urge forward the
march of progiess to the degree of getting
the sewage of the whole city provided
for.
DOW NOT TO DO IT.
In the theories as to the duties of public
prosecutors, with regard to urging prose
cutions for the violation of law, inconsis
tencies are apt to be discovered which pro
voke a wonder whether the official mind
has not reached the stage of cultivating
the art signalized by Dickens the art of
"How Not To Do If ' '
It is not very long since a theory was
publicly developed that it Is not the duty
of public prosecutors to hunt for evidence
Of violations of the law. If people are
troubled by legal proceedings let them
make complaint and furnish the evidence.
Until they do that, the officials of the law
are justified in maintaining the position
that liquor is not sold illegally, nor disor
derly houses kept in full blast, nor -trusts
organized, nor railroad abuses perpetu
ated. This theory was announced very
specifically with regard to the duty of
prosecuting trust combinations, and it was
even more prominently made the excuse
for doing nothing witG regard to the prev
alence of illegal houses in New York. "
While this might raise a question as to
what public officers are paid for, some of
the people in New York accepted it to the
extent of undertaking the work of prose
cution themselves. They organized socie
ties for the suppression of" various kinds of
vice, hired lawyers, collected evidence,
and began the prosecutions. Whereupon
a change comes over the spirit of the legal
dream. No one but the District Attorney
has a right to prosecute these cases, it is
said; and upon taking that question to a
higher court, the last view is sustained.
Justice Lawrence, of the New York Su
preme Court, said: "I do not see of what
use a District Attorney is, if a 'private
society can come into a police court and
try to run it No private society has
the right to appear, by counsel on such an
occasion."
If no one but a District Attorney can
prosecute a case, and the District Attorney
will not do it in the case of certain influ
ential law-breakers, the publio will be apt
to agree with the learned judge thattbey
do not see of what use a District Attorney
is. But it is also a very decided conclu
sion that this class of- law-breakers have
what is slangily termed a dead cinch on
the law.

AROUND ABOUT HOMESTEAD.
The Old Munhall Ferryman.
The old ferryman at Munhall, Just above
tho place where the Pinkerton's were
trapped. Is quaint and shrewd. He rejoices
In the not uncommon name of John W.
Smith, and as he rows you aoross tbe oily
waters of the Monongahela he Is likely to
tell yon that be fought three years in the
Army of the Potomac and draws a pension
of S10 a month for wounds. But he shows
no sign of hlsage or his wounds as he pulls
the crazy old ikiff across the river, tbongh
perhaps he does show a readiness to llo on
bis dars whenever a chance Is given him to
talk. The first ten days of July
have been golden to Ferryman Smltn,
for first in war and then in peace tbe de
mand for his eight skiffs lias been Incessant.
His patrons, he says, "come from every
wheres I never see such crowds" this
with a plaintive reminder that his charge is
only 60 cents, including a full view or tbe
battlefield, 'with a running lecture upon the
fight, which he saw from the gray dawn
when the Little Bill and her luckless con
voys hove in sight till tbe bloody finale of
that awful day. The bronzed old soldier is
heart and soul with the men, of course, in
their struggle, but he had one criticism to
make. "'Twasn't right to knock them
Plnkertons about after they gave in," he
said, "I've been a soldier and fought at
Gettysburg and pretty nigh everywheres
the Army of the Potomac did,
but that -was tbe toughest fight
I've seen. It's my maxim, "When a
man gives np, let him go!' The women
acted worse than the men my! how they
did belt them Plnkertons!" and there was
pride as well as pity in Mr. Smith's tones.
Tbe 'Women Sympathize With Them.
The sympathy of women generally with
the strikers was again exemplified Just as
the ferryman was speaking. The steamer
Lud Keefer, with two barges crowded with
excursionists, most of whom were young
women, passed us, and in response to the
hat-waving in onr skifl and another filled
with iron workeis, loud cheers for Home
stead came from the fair holiday-makers.
The cries from tbe steamer and barges were
clearly distinguishable above the general
cheering, and they were: "Hurrah
for Homestead!" and tbe like, all
showing a hearty cood feeling
towards tho men. It was I think the loudest
cheer I have evor heard fioui feminino
throats. The significance ot the Incident
was deeponed by the fact that the cheers
were given Just when the steamer was
abreast the cinder bank where tbe charred
ropes which hnd moored tbe Pinkerton
barges still lay at tbe water's edge, and black
fragments of tbe burned craft recalled the
bloody events of last Wodnesday. The
cheats from those fair young throats echoed
ai-ain and again from tho shore, and the old
ferryman allowed the boat to drift a hun
dred yatds befoie he lecovored from the
ectay into which this manifestation of fem
inine sympathy threw him.
The Toang Hen on Guard.
At the end of the high fence, with (ts triple
barb-wire fringe, a stone's throw from Mun
hall station, four lads were playing cards.
They were all bright-looking boys in work
ing clothes, and they gave ns a gooa-natured
greeting as we approached them. One of
them, a lad of 20, with good square brows
and deep blue eyes, speaking of tho
advent of the National Guard, said:
"We'll help 'em euard the works. Why
shouldn't wot The Carnegie people don't
want to tako care of the mills any more
than no do. Why, my father's inside the
works now on cuai d for the Carnezies." Yet
these joung fellows were a picket oTthe
woikeis, as much on watch for Plnkertons
and other foes as any of their elders. This
was proven five minutts later when the
ancient mariner, Mr. Smith, having rowed
us a dozen strokes from shore, tbe same
quartet bailed ns from a skiff which they
had by some short cut reached before us,
and were then pitrollng the river bank. Mr.
Smith kindly vouched for our innocent in
tentions, and the young watchmen steered
for tlje shore again Thus the perfection of
the system by which the workers are guard
ing the mills was once more illustrated.
Slightly Nervous but Pacific.
Outtdo O'Bi ion's restaurant about II
o'clock yesterday morning I met Burgess
McLuokie. He is a tall man with gre.it
breadth of shoulder and a pleasant, good
face, which an unmagisterial mustache
adorns. A cloud rested upon his features,
however, yesterday.
"The militia will be -welcome," ho said;
"we are glad to know they are coming, for
It shows that bigger men than Mr. Frick ap
preciate the importance of our protest
against his arbitrary, attitnde. When the
soldiers come here we shall greet them as
friends, and if any man so much as hoots
them our people will take him to the rivor
and duck him."
All the same Mr. McLuckie seemed anx
ious and wroubt-up, bis nervousness shott
ing itself in a slight quaver that tripped his
tongue at every sentence.
The samo anxious air was on the faces of
nil the leaders, ana tbe atmosphere at head
quarters yesterday morning was decidedly
gloomy. The bUr loom where tbe Advisory
Committee and the big guns among tbe
workers meet, 13 not a cheeiful place any
how; its most impressive points being the
deep sawdust on the floor and the even
deeper mystery that characterizes tho be
havior of the men who assemble there. The
visiting newspaperman experiences the
latter to the full when be is hold no there
for identification and branding. The sen
sations of the yearling as be awaits the
branding-iron at the annu il round-up, must
be something like the reporter's these days
when he first stiikos Homestead.
Brlnton's Brief Fame.
It was snpposod for the best part of yes
terday that the troops were to rendezvous
atBtinton, a place 11 miles from Pittsburg
on tbe Pennsylvania Railroad, that is re
markable for nothing particular but a
labyrinth of railroad tracks marking the
Junction of the main line and tbe Pittsburg,
V lrginia and Charleston branch. As a mat
ter ot lact, nobody gathered there yesterday
but half a dozen reporters. It would not
have been such a bad place for tho brigades
of the National Guard to go into camp prior
to moving as a division over tbe Virginia
and Charleston tracks to Homestead, lor
there is a tolerably wide and level tract of
unoccupied and uncultivated land between
tbe hills and beside the Pennsylvania
tracks.
The first reporters who ariived sought tho
shade of some trees about 100 feet above the
lailroad, and they had considerable fun at
the expense of their fellows who came later.
As tbe latter appeared upon the track below
the leporters on the hillside tied a handker
chief to an umbrella and imitated as best
tney could with this flag tbe notions of a
signal corps of Homestead workmen. Ono
at least of the newspapermen below who
saw this singular performance was
taken in, and sat for SO minutes
on a barrel in tho sun trj ing to make out
the signals which were apparently being
sent to some other watchers on tbe hills
toward Homestead. As he tried to Interpret
tbe mock signals by the Morse alphabet it
may be imazinod he wearied himself rather
more than the 'gnterprisimi party with the
handkerchief and the umbrella. He was
still more fatigncd when having climbed
tho hill he discovered the truth.
Homestead's Health In Peril.
The town of Homestead certainly did not
wear 11 warlike air yesterday, and the most
hostilo thing about the placo a
casual visitor would surely have de
cided to be the smells in
tbe streets. Open drains and neglected
water courses and gutters, full of green
coated water and refuse, load the air with
noisome odors. A hose with a good head of
water wonld do much good, and some at
tempt at modern di-ainago would save the
town from a worse enemy than even Pinker
tons. If the population of Homestead Is
doubled for any length of time without some
attention to these evils, the consequences
arc bound to be terrible. Whether this
nezlect 01 sanitary safeguards is the lesult
of the people's anxiety about other matters
or not, and it is strangely out of keeping
with the plenty of pietty homes and trim
3ards,and the personal cleanliness of the
great majority of Homestead's population,
tbe matter is worth attending to, and
that right soon. Hefbubn Johxs.

SENT BACK TO DIE.
A Syrian Woman Leper to Be Returned by
the New York Authorities.
New Tons, July 11. In a small and dark
room on the steamship Amsterdam, careful
ly secluded, Mrs. Jamna Chadad, a Syrian
woman, aged 35, Is in keeping till the vessel,
now lying at its dock at Sixth street, Hobo
ken, shall start on its homeward passage to
Rotterdam, when she will go with it, the
reason of her enforced return being that Dr.
Wheeler, of the Ellis Island staff, bas, in
spite of her passing Quarantine.pronounced
her to be a leper.
The Amsterdam reached the port Friday
afternoon last, with over 300 steerage pas
sengers aboard. Health Officer Jenkins'
assistants, Drs. Talmadge and Skinner, gave
the sbip a clean bill of health. At Ellis
Island, however, while tbe immigrants were
paraded for inspection in single file, the
keen eye of Dr. Wheeler noticed a peculiar
reddish scaliness on the face of Mrs.'Chadad
as she walked past him with her hands care

her called back, and It took but a short ex
amination to convince him that she was a

SHADED BY MAPLES.
Under These Trees Aged United Presby
terians Will Walt Until Time Closes With
Them The Home a Homa Indeed Miss
Bowan Marries and Then Travels.
To THE long list of its eleemosynary in
stitutions, Pittsburg will have a notable
addition to-day, when Maple Shade is opened
to the public It is all the more delightful
for Its purpose; that of a place of retire
ment for the aged people of tbe United Pres
byterian Chnroh; since it bears none of the
"earmarks" nor prevailing characteristics
attributed generally to corporate charity.
The house has been in the possession or tbe
gentle folks and tbey have stamped that
fact upon it. The managers are wisely in
tending to destroy none of the
sentiment with which Maple Shade
is redolent. Tbe house has
its peer In tbe grounds with which It is sur
rounded. A beautiful circular stretch of
gronnd unbroken save by an occasional
sbrnb lies to the front formed by two sweep
ingavenues,beginningat tho gate.separnting
and then Joining again at a flight of steps to
the porch. Bordering the onteredge of these
avenues are the luxuriant trees of many
years standing which either suggested the
name of Maple Shade, or were afterward
planted to make the cognomen a trnthful
one. As well as ornamental trees, there are
those combining embellishment with
utility. Perhaps tho bouse first stood in an
orchard; at any rate there are now fruit
bearing trees enough to stock a small one.
About half an acre of ground behind tbe
house is devoted to an old fashioned flower
garden. This part everyone thinkB is tbe
point of beauty of Maple Shade. A porch
runs irom the billiard room window to the
library window. A vigorous grapevine
almost conceals it. But there you might sit
if of an age for sitting, a most asreeable
occupation and lookout tn tno runny oiu
walks and beds when tbe flowers nre the
despots and gardeners are Invisible you
migntsee all this, and thinic that tnereare
worse things than being old in such a scene
as this. Tho former occupants must have
loved red, for among all the varities that
color of a blossom Is most plentifully
present, and makes a brilliant "splatch"
among the green.
Beyond, and bv wav of a small cate is the
kitchen garden. A tooth for fruit would
find busy occupation here.
The dwellinz house Is of fine dimensions,
which can be easily understood after one
wanders through its It room, all of them
nearly large enough to accommodate some
of the small modern houses in which Pitts
burg families now feci fashionable. The
lower floor is devoted to front and back
parlois, dining room, library, butler's pan
try, a multnm in parvo in usefulness, kitchen
and a long, wide hall. The idea of
turning this into a chapel was probably un
consciously projected by tho rich stained
glass doors tbat open from the hall to the
porch. The proper religious light prevails,
and if it should become a place lor
Joint devotions, there certainlv could be
chosen no more suitable spot. In evidence
of Mrs. Bissell's generosity are several car
pets, and some furniture, which lends to the
house a quite homelike air. On the second
floor at o six bedrooms and a bathroom. The
two very large rooms on the right side cf
the hall will have their dimensions some
what diminished by taking off one a largo
bathroom and from tbe other a hall to con
nect with a proposed western wing. In the
meantime these rooms can accommodate
two bedsteads. This floor is Intended to be
used by women only and the ball may be
partitioned off to be used by the maid in at
tendance on that floor during the night.
The root of the front porch is utilized for a
balcony on tbe second floor, but stranse to
say there Is no means of egress. It Is
intended to cut a French window at once.
Old men will have exclusive right to the
third floor, and the male caretaker is to
sleep in tbecomfortable servants' quarters
adjoining bnt not connected with the honse.
At tbat side of tho bouse facing Alfred
street is a very beautiful billiard room,
which is to be used as a bedroom. When the
Bissell furniture, now stowed there, is re
moved. Tbe contemplated annex will be
built by the billiard room, and. as there is a
good many feet from it to the street, it will
be equally as pretentious a building as the
house proper.
The managers think that tbe bouse and
grounds, for which they paid $45,000, will
provo an exceedingly wise investment.
Toward the sum total of their indebtedness
thev have raised $18,000; paid don n of this
$15,000, which Jnst leaves $27,000 to be ac
quired to pay for the building. This, it will
be understood, provides nothing for tho run
ning expenses, nor for tho purposed im
provements. The fete to-day ts being given
tointerest the church at larse.and through it
a great deal is expected. Yesterday a party
of ladies were working busily in prepara
tion. Twenty applications by prospective in
mates have been leceived, nnd these will be
acted upon as soon as possible. As yet there
is no matron, but applications aru being re
ceived and the matter will be decided upon
when the Board or Manager? meets in execu
tive session, ns it will very shortly. The
peimanent Board of Managers consists of
Mis. W. W. Grier, Mrs. Andrew Eniton, Mrs.
J. B. Hill. Mrs. D. K. Bryce, Mro. E. D.
Brown, Mrs. J. A. Boswell, Mrs. X. McQais

where the cars make tho loop. This is Al
fred street and Maple Shade is the corner of
