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

the community.

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

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.
All of the Presidental. nominees have
decided to accept but Mr. Cleveland. It Is
announced, though, that he will bo heard

SIK -EDWIN AENOLD ON CHOLEEA.
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.
Bishop Breyfogel, of Reading, is presiding
at the latter conference. It is reported that
at the seciet sesslon.of the majority confer
ence to examine the character of its mem

W. She.Tick, of Baltimore; W. S. Harpster
and S. E. Rile, of Lancaster, who had joined
the minority conference and are members
thereof in lull standing, were expelled by

which he treated of tho leasons "Why We

Dr. a W. Smith, editor of the Pittsburg

FASHIONS FOR FALL.
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.
