SATURDAY. fcEPT. 10. 1S92- TWELVE PAGES TWO IMPORTANT POINTS. Very positive language was indulged in by the Mayor at the conference of city officials yesterday morniiijj. His Honor disburdened his mind on two points, and on each his words were pertinent Both bear decidedly on the sanitation of the city and call for vigorous and radical ac tion. The first point is: "What shall be done with property owners who neglect to clean lots where filth has accumulated? The Health Officer, as is too often done, notes the presence of such a nuisance and stops there to inquire what shall be done about it The Mayor declares that suits should be instituted without delay in every case. That is certainly the least that should be done. It might be well to investigate whether the city has not the power to adopt the prompter method of cleaning up the lot on twenty-four hours' notice and collecting the bill from the owner of the property. But it is beyond question that the most vigorous course within the power of the city authorities should be adopted in every case where the work of cleaning up is not set about at once when its necessity is noticed. The other point is summed up in the Mayor's assertion that the present situa tion shows "the crying need "of the city for some measure of disposing of gar bage." It does, except that the need has been evident before. The question ought to have been settled long ago; but now, that its settlement is imperative, it should be decided quickly. And since the past two days have been devoted to an effort to lessen the filth in the river the present situation might suggest that the city must not adopt the medieval idea of increasing that filth by dumping garbage there, "With these two points fully covered, our streets kept clean and our water sup ply pure, Pittsburg can raeet the cholera or any other filth disease with few grounds for fear. THE SHERIFF'S DUTY. The information that Sheriff Mc Clearyhas determined to give "a shaking up" to those of his deputies who do not actively suppress all riotous proceedings at Homestead is good as far as it goes. But it is open to the criticism of being de cidedly tardy. With tlie warning contained in previous events, the Sheriff should have had no deputies at Homestead who would not be prompt and vigorous in the suppression of disorder. He had learned from experi ence how easily a weak or paltering policy could lead to complete suspension of the law. "When order had been restored it was clear that his duty in its maintenance (fg W required the presence of deputies who would not hesitate a moment m quelling any disposition to disorder. No deputies at all would have been better than the presence of deputies who looked on while a new form of riot was indulged In. Dis order with the officers of the law absent is not nearly so demoralizing as disorder with the officers of the law standing by and raising no hand to suppress It Now that weakness has been displayed by the Sheriff's officers it is to be hoped that the reformatory measures will be effective in producing a force able and ready to maintain the peace. The Sheriff cannot afford any more failures in main taining the law at Homestead. A BUSINESS ISSUE FOE THE SOUTH. The Republicans of West Virginia ex press confidence that they will carry the State this year. Why should they not? The present and future prosperity of West Virginia depends visibly upon manufact uring and mineral resources. Its most thriving towns are the outgrowth of man ufactures whichrhave sprung into healthy life under the policy of protection for American industry. Its best paid labor is employed in manufactures. Its mount ains are covered with timber and filled with minerals which depend for their future market upon the maintenance and growth of American manufactures. It would be strange, indeed, if the men ace of free trade in the Democratic plat form this year did not make Democrats as well as Republicans in West Virginia think at once of their immediate interests. The clap-trap argument of the Free Traders, which the Democratic Conven tion was foolish endugh to adopt, is that farming is the proper calling for Undo Sam, and it is a rank offense to encourage manufactures by a protective tariff. When the people of West Virginia are content to accept this doctrine to shut ,up their manufactories if they cannot produce as cheaply as England, and to give over the hope of developing their mineral resources until labor becomes as chsap here as it is abroad they may give a majority for Mr. Cleveland. But the fact is they are brought face to face by the Democratic Convention with precisely the same ques tions that interest Pennsylvanians. Not withstanding past affiliation, it would be as unreasonable for West Virginia to go Democratic this fall as for Pennsylvania or Ohio. But it is not alone In West Virginia that an ordinary perception of their immediate interests should lead former Democrats to stand up now for what manifestlybeneflts them and against what as manifestly must hurt them. Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana and other Southern States are just entering upon a penodof great manu facturing development under the same protective policy which has built up the manufactures of Pennsylvania and New England. How long can their politics turn on the nominal question of Demo crat or Republican? Will the free trade dose be any the less destructive to their interests because administered by Democratic doctors? or the protective medicine prove the less helpful and sus taining because prescribed by Repub licans? It should surprise no reflecting person if more States than West Virginia, which formerly trained in the Democratic column, were to be found this year admin istering a sharp rebuke to the charlatan ism which takes up any novel cry that for the time being may seem good to conjure with. It is not the North alone, but also the South that has now a vital interest in manufactures. COMPLAINTS FROM QUARANTINE. Theenforcementof quarantine at New York brings out In a very strong light the fact that those who are pinched by meas ures for the public protection are de cidedly unable to see the good of it The great majority ot the passengers on the quarantine steamers aro distinctly of opinion that quarantine is all wrong. This opinion comes from all classes of passensrers. Miss Lottie Collins, who is coming to this country as the original exponent of "Tara-rara-bonm-de-ay," points out that she is losing 5200 per night Senator Mc Phpron, of New Jersey, and Manager A. M Palmer, both protest against their de tention and point out that there Is more chance of their sickness confined in the close quarters of the steamship than if allowed to go to their own homes. Both also omit to take Into consideration the chances of health for 69,000,000 of people on shore if the quarantine barrier were broken down. The plaint of the steamship companies is that they are losing $2,000,000 by the interruption of their business. Generally the argument of 2,000,000 would be taken as convincing of anythin j; but weighed against cholera the 52,000,000 is not worth two cent3. Alo we learn that several passengers who have been passed, mourn the damage to their foreign-made clothing inflicted by the dis infection. All of which Is ground for sympathy with the sufferers of inconvenience, loss or peril; but not for relaxing a single pre caution. There is a classic adage that the safety of the public is the supreme law. This is indisputably the case when the battle Is fought against the entrance "of an epidemic on behalf of a nation. The peo ple who think their prominence of im portance enough to warrant taking the chances of introducing the germs of cholera must learn to the contrary. One complaint of the quarantined peo ple is well founded, if true. They assert that they are not fully supplied with the best measures for fighting the disease and that their accommodations are insufficient for health. If this is true it should be remedied. The public welfareas well as mere humanity requires that everything which can alleviate the danger of the quarantined people or improve their chances of escaping the disease, without adding to the public hazard shall be fully and even lavishly supplied. A FREE TRADE ARGUMENT. And now comes our rabid free trade co temporary the Chicago Herald.mth a new version of its charge that the Republican party is responsible for the cholera. We now learn that our rulers" have been car rying on a systematic policy of deceiving tlipauper labor of Europe. They have deluded these ignorant foreigners Into the idea that they can get better wages here. The land gran; corporations have Im ported them to take up lands, in violent nullification of the original homestead policy which, our co temporary omits to re member, was a Republican measure. These immigrants brought over here under such deceptive representations bring the cholera. Argah demonstrates the Chicago free trade writer, in the cholera we see the necessary result of the damning vices of Republican rule. - With such logic we can prove much more than this. The city of New York is .notably Democratic; and yet that is the one port where cholera appears. They have had more cholera in London than in this country, and England i3 the great il lustration of free trade. Are not here equally convincing proofs that Democracy and free trade are the vehicles by which cholera is spread? Then, let us go a little further. If Re publican policy has caused 'the immigra tion which brings cholera, there is a neces sary Inference that Democratic supremacy would stop immigration, otherwise ij; would be just as bad a3 the Republican party in this respect as happens to have been the case In the fifties. But does the' esteemed Herald wish to have it under stood that if the Democratic free trade policy were carried out the condition of labor would be so notoriously reduced to a level with that of Europe that these Im migrants would no longer be deluded into coming over here? That is what Its as sertions mean, if they mean anything; yet it proves considerably too much for its party. Finally, the esteemed Herald declines to take notice of the fact that the cholera has not got into this country yet A little thing like that, however, is no obstacle to its logic If the cholera comes in it will be due to Republican rule; If it is kept out, of course it will be the saving grace of Democracy that keeps it out Is this the triumphant nature of Democratic logic in the year of grace 1892? FROM SHIP TO SHORE. The announcement that healthy passen gers detained at quarantine on vessels with cholera cases aboard are to be trans ferred to Sandy Hook came none too soon. Of course the quarantine will still be en forced in their new quarters, and must be maintained until the health officers are perfectly satisfied that in dispersing they will not carry disease with them. The transfer must be carefully made and the rules rigidly executed in the new sur roundings. With these provisions the change cannot meet with anything but commendation. It will mitigate the inconvenience of those detained and relieve them from all unnec essary risk. The move is a humantarlan one and wise from a hygienic point of ' view, since It lessens the chance of adding new victims to the disease. The ordinance which Chier Brown has framed to submit to Councils on Monday to put an end to a filthy practice on the South aide should receive hearty support. Resi dents over there have heen accustomed to make use of ancient coal mine workings as a depository for their sewerage. Nothing conld he better calculated to Invite and foster disease, and the sooner the unwhole some practice is stumped out the better for the community. The fire loss in this country for last month amounted to $10,000,000 and brought the total for the year up to $81,000,030. Anil still the erection of inflammable and com bustible buildings, with and without the name of flic proof soes on undisturbed. There was a talk some little while ago of an es ting the Cooley gang. But the out laws have been unmolested so far, and ate carrying on tne old business of midnight robbery and torture where they expect to meet only aged men or women. Since slate manufacturing is already underway for the county offices which are not to be filled until a year from November, It is evident that local polities are of a live lier older than tho national variety. Nqwthat the Saltsburg conferees have succeeded in making a nomination, the won der that they had to ballot four hundred and thirty-eight times before doing It is no wise diminished. ' If Corbett keeps his resolution to differ from other-prize fighters by refusing to Im bibe, Tie will make a more lasting reputa tion than that scoured by his late victory at NewiOrlean In spite of its length, Harrison's letter may bo fitly described as a strong brief for tho plaintiff in the case of Piotection and patriotism versus free trado and European Interests. The heavier man of the two contestants in the November struggle will in all proba bility meet a fate metaphorically similar to that of Mr. John LTSuUIvan." " So far as its oratory goes it is useless to expect the campaign to make a fair start until Depew gets out of quarantine. Poverty is certainly no crime, but rags on an Incoming vessel coitalnly form a just cause lor suspicion at this time. Peace is said to have been restored in Venezuela. That mean3 that another revo lution is in preparation. Ip the reports of Hill's "placation" are to be accepted a new definition of that arti cle will be In order. Everything indicates the arrival ot the fall except the unwonted inactivity of the political campaign. Anyone can see that the Exposition is open by observing the number of strangeis on our sidewalks. TnE rate of cleaning the-city should be somewhat faster than the customary slow pace of repaying. It is about time to practice the enuncia tion of the much-needed phrase: "Please ghat the door." Quarantine and New Orleans are both hard places to get home from under certain circumstances.

CELEBRITIES IN CLOYER. Peof. Sumner, of Yale, is fishing and mending nets at a Pomeranian village on the Baltic Ma Arthur James Balfour's love of music rivals his affection for golf. He Is never so happy as when spending a week at Bayreuth with Wagner. Mr. Harrison is quoted as saying that the worst feature of execntlvo lira is the vast amount ot document signing the Pres ident Is forced to undergo. The trustees of the Wabash College have elected Dr. "W. L. Burroughs, Professor of Biblical Literature in Amherst, as Pres ident of Wabash. It is thought Dr. Bur roughs will accept. Chauncey M. Depew, as soon as he re turns from Europe, will place himself at the disposal of the National Committee, and ex pects to speak three or lour times a week until the canvass closes. Levi K. Fuller, the Republican candi date for Governor of Vermont, should be at no loss for organs to aid him during tho cam paign. He has been for 20 years Vice Presi dent of the Estey Company. Sir H.

Huffout, until this year connected with the Law Department of the Indiana University, but who resigned in June to go to the Law Department of the Horthwestern University, has been ap pointed Secretary of Legation at St. Peters burg in Russia by Minister Andrew J. White. CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT. Leaders of both parties profess to find cause for comfort in the results of this week's State oleotions. As a matter of fact 'the returns in Aikansas and Vermont only indicate that eaoh organization is In fairly good condition in its strongholds. There is an Increase in the Democratic majority in Arkansas, and the Republican figures in Vermont are not qutto up to the usual standard for a Presldental year, but the reasons for both conditions are roadily dis cerned. In Arkansas the new ballot system has apparently accomplished the pur pose for whlou it was designed the suppression of the colored vote by a method less bareiaced than open intimida tion. While defeated about two to one in Vermont, the Democratic managers are mak ing a great deal of fuss over the fact that the Republican majority Is not over 20,000 in a Presldental year for the first time in a quar ter of a century. The figures aie about 9.000 les than in Septomber of 18SS and 3,0:.O less than In 1SS4. But the truth Is that there Is not only a reduction in the majority, but in the total vote, showing that tho Republican decrease was largely owing to a Justifiable confidence. and the apathv which has thus far marked the national canvass. The voting in Maine next Mon day closes thn list of September election. Georgia and Florida will choose State offi cers In October, but their contests will bo mainly important as indicating the strength oi tne new party in that section. Notwithstanding the vigorons per sonal attacks which have been made npon their candidate, the majority of the Repub licans or the Eighteenth Ohio district think ho is a "good enough Morgan" until after the election, anyhow. Considerable interest was created by the announcement yesterday that some of the local managers proposed to get up a contost against Controller Grler for re nomination. Some others aie not mentioned as. In the arrangement. A politician, who keeps pietty well posted or. affairs about the Court House, said yesterday in regard to this: "If a fight is made on Controller Giler, a mighty Interesting canvass may be looked for between now and the county nomination next spring, involving probably .the other offices as well as the conti oiler ship. Giler is a hard flithter and stands very strong with the people. He la power ful because of his successful stand against the salary grab attempted by other county officials some time ago. He has theeneigy of a cannon ball in a canvass, knows no let up, and can keep a large number of the op- fiosltion engaged with reprisals while brlk y running his own campaign. Water As sessor Miller, who Is said to be slated in op position, is one of the most amiable and best liked men in local politlo-.; but to set him up against a candidate of Grier's energy and support among the taxpayers, is to set him the hardest possible task." 'Grier's friends yesterday wore fnll of expressions of confidence about his canvass, and took the announcement of opposition smilingly. The Alton Sentinel, one of the strongest Cleveland papers In Illinois, plaintively says: "It takes four pecks to make a bushel, but we hope that Senator Hill has not three more In New York State like tho one he has Just turned loose." All five parties continue to make the canvass in Texas a most lively one. Goneral Weaver is talking two or three times a day, while Senator Mills is endetvoilng to hold the Democracy in line lor the national ticket. The contest between the Lily White Republicans and the regular organization is a peculiar one. A son ol General Sam Houston was nominated some months ago as a protest against negro domination, and stands on a platform one plank of which de nounces the force bill. Many who enrolled themselves under the Lily White banner already show an inclination to desert and follow the lead of Cuney, the only man recognized by Mr. Hariisnn as a Texas lieu tenant. Colonel Houston has also lost votes by showing himself a poor marksman. At tho recent encampmentof State militia tho Colonel shot at n fellow officer and hit a tiee. The Lily Whites return the compli ments showeied upon them by tho straight outs, and ut their convention adelegate.who had previously attended the Cuney Conven tion to choose delegated to the Minneapolis Convention, nioso and apologized lor ap pealing in tho lily White iissemuiage with out having had hlsolotlies disinfected. Tho struggle between the two Democratic fac tions lor tho State offices is equally bitter, although both claim to be supporting Cleve land and Stevenson. Woodsdau! apparently has a monopoly of tbecampaigu openings in Ohio. Gov ernor McKinley and Whitelaw Reid appear there to-day, and the Democrats announce that Candidate Stevenson and Bourke Cock ran will talk fice tiade from the same plat- form on October L ' All of the officeholders of the former Cleveland administration express tho ut most confidence that they are going to get their old Jobs back again. Judge Lambert Tree, of Chicago, ex-Minister to Russia, lias Just brought a report ofthe most rosy hue to national Democratic headquarters from the West. He says: "Tho fueling in Illinois is very confident. Democrats are full of flht, are making a thorough organization of the State, and have eveiy reason to believe that they will receive lare accessions to their ranks from the Germans and others who are dissatisfied with Republican rnle. Alt gelt, the candidate for Governor, has been making a very close canvass in every county in the State, and has the utmost confidence, from what he has seen and heard, of his own election and also that of the national ticket. What is true of Illinois is true of Wisconsin, with tho addition that the State Govern ment is ah eady in the hands of the Demo cratic party, which gives them tho advan tage, and the electoiial vote for Cleveland ana Stevenso'n I. regard as noxt to certain. Indiana Is regarded by good politicians of the State us absolutely suroforthe Democ racy. We have also excellent prospects in Ion a and Mln esotn. Nebraska, it it does not go Democratic, will surely go for the People's ticket. Kansas is reasonably sure for the People's tioket, fO are the Dakotas. Taking it all in all, Western Democrats think they will make a better showing In tho next electoral college than they have made formoie than 30 years, and believe the election of the national ticket is as cer tain as anything which has not yet taken place." irvhere are any Western States whloh ex-Minister Tree has missed in this Western claim It has probably been for a lack of geographical rather than political knowledge. Evidently the death of George Wil liam Curtis will not change the political polioy of Baroer't Weekly. The current issue is more radically free trade than ever. The campaign in West Virginia has been formally opened. Colonel William Seymour Edwards, of Charleston, while in Pittsburg yesterday expressed the utmost confidence in the success of the protection forces. He said: "The State will elect a Republican Governor and give Harrison a majority. The Democratic vote has been decreased at eacbPiesidental election Blnce 1876, and If the same ratio is kept up we should carry it this fall by at least 1,000 majority. That the ratio should be kept up can easily be shown. In 1890 the Republican vote tell short 9,000 and the Democratic only LOOO.leavlng an ap parent Democratic majority of 8,000. It is appaient only, as will be how in November. There has been a large immigration into the State duilug the past four years." Colonel Edwards is a candidate for the Legislature, but Is not quite so confident or Republican control of Unit body as ne is of (he success for the State and national tickets.

Be Has Been With It, Doesn't Fear It Bid ' Doesn't BMIaTft In Quarantine. New Yobk, Sept. 9. Sir Edwin Arnold, the poet-Journalist, arrived in New York late yesterday afternoon after a six weeks' so journ in Japan, which he regards as one of the brightest experiences of bis varied career. ' - "I see," said Sir Edwin, "that I have been misquoted about Mr. Blaine What I did say was that It was unstatesmanlike in him to snggest, and'unworthy of a graat nation, to close this country's ports against those of the world on account of the prevalence of cholera abroad. 1 do not believe in your quarantine. You cannot keep cholera out with a quarantine. If it is to come it will come anyhow. Our plan, to isolate the sick and let tho well go, is much better. "Besides, I think the Amerloan and En glish constitution rather Impervious to chOleoa. More peisons die of measles, diph theria or teething than die of cholera. No well or prudent mau should fear the disease. Just go about as usual and don't think of it. Why, I have seen so much of it and havo been so close to it that I have not the slightest fear of it. I'll tell you my own preventive, which I nave used in India with the very best re sults. The cholera bacillus does not like acid. He can't stand it at all. So every other morning, when the cholera actually appeals, I would take, if I were you, tlve drops of hydrochloric acid in a cup or tea. You will find It oxcellent as a preventive if you are also careful in your habits of life. No, I don't believe in your quarantine." Sir Edwin returns to London to resume his labors as editor of the Telegraph. THE TWO EVANGELICAL FACTIONS, Presided Over by the Bival Bishops, Dubs and Esher, Meet at Flndlay. Fikplat, Sept. 9. The sessions of the two rival factions or the Ohio Conference of tho Evangelical Association are met here, the majority, or Esher adherents, having secured possession of the church in this city, and are holding their sessions therein.

Eight young ministers were admitted into full connection with the conference. Dr. a W. Smith, editor of the Pittsburg CTirfjfian Advocate, was present, bnt deferred his speech until later. The matter of select ing a place for the next Conference brought on a heated discussion.

Dresses Called Into Existence by a Few Cool Days Changeable Weather Causra Some Trouble A Silver Wedding An niversary Sapper on Lawn Society Gossip. The erratic weather of the last week or two is responsible for much tribulation and uncertainty on the part of the modiste ns well as ofthe woman she is called upon to dress. This Is early, full, but the quick changes from heat to chilliness and back again to snltriness have puzzled the man agers of fashion to know what they shall de clare the properapparel'of this month. A few days ago.wjien there were suspicions of frost in the early morning and evening, there was a demand for heavy dresses. The dress makers set to work and soon there were scores of fall gowns in existence to the or der of the timid women who feared that winter was upon them without giving them the customary warning of an autumn. It was very warm yesterday, as everv Pitts burger knows, and the fall dresses that were ordered in such a hurry were hung in ward robes to await tho arrival of the next cool snap. A few of the uncalled-for gowns seen at a fashionable dressmaker's yesterday, that will be worn when fall sets in permanently, may be thus described: A tailor-made gown, orbeavy gray cloth, with plain skirt, minus a train, and a double-breasted basque with postillion back. It has a deep, turned-over collar, cut with lapels like a man's coat. To the fnll, high sleoves there are deep cuffs of the same material. The basque is set off with two rows of small bone outtons, dur able and ornamental, one row seiving the purpose of fastening the dress. With this gown will be worn a small linen collar and cuffs. This gown is lined throughout with silk. This is one of the most lady-like and diossy costumes for the stieet. Anothor costume Is of Russian velour. It has a long coat with a box pleat in the bick and double-breasted in front, fitted closely to the waist by means of a leather belt, but otherwiso setting full. It has a high rolling collar and deep enfis. The skirt is a plain, round one, with two narrow rows of sable fur around the bottom. The collar and cuffs are also edged with this fur. This costumo will be worn In tho Into fall. An other costume Is of urown camel's hair, shot with gold, producing a charming chameleon effect; It is composed or a waist with a postilllon'back and empire Jacket, opening over fronts or shot'silk of the same hues as the outer garment. A plain round skirt completes a tastelulas well as an inexpen sive dress. Silk is being used exclusively for lining skirts and waists this fall. It is preferred because it is so much easier than any other lining to walk In. Mrs. J. K. Ewino' of TJniontown, gave a dinner last evening at ner home.
