TWELVE PAGES NEW TOBK'S tESSON. , It has not yet been definitely ascertained in just what manner cholera reached Its victims in New Tork City. But it is posi tively known that the disease germs were brought into this country from one or other of the infected districts on the other side of the Atlantic. The discovery that the disease has made an entry proves con clusively that restrictive measures were not adopted promptly enough in the port of New York, and that an entire prohibi tion of immifiration promptly imposed was, and is, the only absolute safeguard. And by analogy these deaths, resulting from incomplete precautious and a tardy adoption of them at that demonstrate the necessity for the establishment of the strictest quarantine around this city as a supplement to the internal preparations by general cleaning and disinfecting. The city authorities and the State Board of Health should work together in this matter, and the rail roads must lend their assistance. A com plete consummation of the arrangements to establish stations for inspection of im migrants outside the city, which are now under consideration by the authorities, should be reached as speedily as possible. In selecting places for the inspection of immigrants, and their detention if sueh should prove necessary, the extreme dan ger of allowing either of the rivers to be contaminated must be borne constantly in mind and scrupulously guarded against Local inspection must be made thorough and be entirely independent of any that has taken place elsewhere. Promptness and thoroughness in taking these precau tions are equally necessary, and both are of supreme importance. AN UNDERTAKING FOB THE COUNTr. What a few earnest people can do when really aroused is shown by the prospect of success for the proposal to get better water for Allegheny than the foul liquid upon which that city now depends. The meeting of the citizens on Wednesday night, at which large subscriptions were pledged to push the work at once, voiced rightly the public sentiment thai a con dition of affairs liable to become as deadly as it is disgraceful should no longer exist But while it is admirable to make pres ent provision for early escape from the worst features of the situation such as will be done by extending the influent pipe to a point above the sewers which now contaminate Allegheny water a broader view will have to be taken in the ultimate disposal of the question. Anyone can see that the line of devel opment of local industries and population is along our river banks. As towns multi ply there, the water of the rivers becomes less fit for human consumption. In times of epidemics of infectious diseases, the rivers are the most efficient transporters ol the deadly germs. Thus it is apparent, that for pure water, the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny must eventually co to the mountains, or else to the lakes along the northern frontier of the State. It is also evident that neither Pittsburg nor Allegheny can be thorough ly safe unless the adjacent towns co-operate and likewise use pure water. An epidemic starting in one of the adjacent towns is likely to spread far beyond the corporate limits. The question of sanita tion and water supply is, in fine, one in which the whole county is more or less interested. This, in place of being unde sirable, could be made of advantage to all, by securing a better service than any sep arate city or borough could get for itself. Whatever temporary arrangements are desirable, it will some day become neces sary to consider the water supply from the county standpoint A FICTITIOUS LOSS. The assertion of President McLeod that the anthracite coal companies have for years gone ou producing coal at a loss is taken up by the Philadelphia Jijutrerto prove that the coal combination is a much misunderstood organization. The prom inence given to this plea warrants a few words of commentary. It would be a sufficient reply to such an assertion to say that no one obliged the coal companies to keep on producing coal at a loss. Any one of them was at liberty to go out of business as many merchants and manufacturers have been obliged to do, some of the latter class having been forced to that act because they depended on these same companies. If any of the anthracite coal companies had gone out of business they were forced out by the legitimate action of demand and supply. But when they not only try to bring all the producers into a combination to make arbitrary prices, but in addition squeeze out the smaller producers who could mine coal at a profit under normal condi tions, they show that there is something deceptive in the pea which does not bring its natural result It is not necessary to rely on this a priori argument, because the subterfuge has been fully exposed. If there had been any question on the matter tho case of Coxe Bros, made it entirely clear. The anthracite coal companies have been maintained by the railroads for the pur pose of selling coal at a loss after paying an excessive freight to the railroads which own the coal companies. The device of charging SI GO per ton while the bituminous roads haul a greater distance for 85 cents at a profit, and maintaining subsidiary companies to produce coal at a loss, is a method of taking money out of one pocket and putting it in another. But it has the effect of giving the corporations a grip on the individual producers, which can be used for their discipline or extinc tion as the case may call for. The specious nature of, this plea of losses in the anthracite business is exposed by the simple fact that the greater services in the transportation and distribution of anthracite coal are performed at about half the charge; and the business is found to be quite profitable to corporations whose stock is not excessively dropsical. COMPULSION OF THE POCKET ONLY" The American people will feel inter ested by the leisurely assurance from the steamship companies that these latter have now had enough of the foreign immi gration business, and that after some 5,000 immigrants now steaming this way shall have debarked no more will be ear ned. With grim satisfaction also our people have observed that this declara tion from the companies did not como until a much-needed object lesson was taught them on Wednesday, when one of the Hamburg-American lino vessels was permitted to leave the dock on her regu lar trip to Europe without a single pas senger or an ounce of freight That inci dent showpd the steamship companies the unprofitable results of too pronounced indifference on their part to the public health. But the circular is still coolly disre gafdful of the public sentiment on one particular. The companies acknowledge having nowsteamers afloat with thousands of foreign immigrants, some of whom were booked from infected ports as late as September 3. That was the date nearly three weeks after the cholera had begun to openly rage at Hamburg when the Hamburg-American line got together its latest cargo of infection for the United States. The plea on which the steamship companies justify these shipments is that the immigrants had been "booked" be fore the President's quarantine proclama tion; an, therefore, the agents naively add they have to como to the United States. But the public will remember that if President Harrison had issued the order stopping such immigration, as was so earnestly urged, these immigrants would not "have to come." Nay, the public is aware that even now, if the right thing were done, these vessels which started from infected ports with foreign immi grants after the President's quarantine order would be refused admittance to New York bay at all and headed promptly back at the expense of the steamship companies for the ports whence they came. The reason why these thousands of im migrants in question "could not be turned back" and "had to be forwarded" was simply and solely because the steamship companies preferred to dump them on the American shores rather than give them back th'e money paid for their tickets and reimburse them for their incidental ex penses. As these companies will have to be dealt with from a cholera standpoint for probably a year yet, it would be au excellent thing if they were to be shown now that foreign immigrants from infected ports do not necessarily "have to come," and that there may be public interests and official backbone in the United States which can, in great urgency, rise superior to a steamship company's conception of the obligations under which a corporation's hunger for' profit places this section of the universe and the people hereon. REPUBLICANS AT BUFFALO. The National League of Republican Clubs opened its proceedings at Buffalo yesterday under bright auspices and amid glowing enthusiasm. This organization is of especial value and importance from the manner in which it appeals to the youth of the country. Its numbers indicate the extent to which the present generation is imbued with the value of Protection as the best and, in fact, the only guarantee of the growth of American industries and the maintenance of America's prosperity at its maximum. In his speech to the delegates General Clarkson rightly gave prominence to the labor issue as "the1 ris ing question of the time" ne pointed out the right of the party of Protection to the support of labor, and the disaster which would result from the folly of per mitting free trade doctrinaires to obtain possession of the reins of government The advantages which Protection has hitherto brought to the American work jngman in particular, as well as to the country at large, make the expectation that its supporters will continue in trieir special consideration of the whole labor question a practical certainty. One of the most notable passages in Mr. Clarkson's speech is that In which he said: "I believe the settlement of all labor troubles will come by the adoption of the systems of profit-sharing and co operation and some equitable form of irbitration." The Dispatch has fre quently pointed out that this is the most hopeful way to solve the problem, and experience on the part of those who adopt those systems is constantly adding to tne evidence of their value. Meanwhile the policy of Protection, while it cannot settle disputes between emnloyers and em ployes, is the only means by which the workman of this country can be saved from sinking to the level of European operatives by the force of open competi tion. NO OVER-CONFIDENCE WANTED. The results of the elections in Vermont and Maine, while productive of no real encouragement to the free trade party, are such as call for a word of warning to the supporters of Protection. Over-confidence was the cause of the reduced Republican majorities, and that is a feel ing which cannot be safely indulged in. The strength of the enemy must in all cases be over-estimated rather than dis counted. Strong and invincible as is the principle of Protection, and united though the forces are whose battle cry it is, there must be no apathetic dependence on the Inherent weakness of the free trade cause and no undue calculating on the internecine stripe of its supposed sup porters. Every individual citizen owes it to his country to put forth his best efforts on be half of that which he believes essential to America's welfare, no matter how over whelming a majority or how insignificant a minority in support thereof is customary in his own State or district Every vote carries with it more or less weight as an example outside of its intrinsic value in deciding the result of an election, and it behooves every patriot to cast his vote for this reason. Hope and expectancy are legitimate, but they must not be allowed for a moment to obviate the necessity for strenuous exertions for their fulfillment The Baker ballot law was probably orig inally intended to prevent political corrup tion. But, thanks to its novelty and a loose phiaseology which gives an opening for contradictory interpretations, Its chief re sult will be in many cases to obliterate votes ly giving opportunities for the perpetration of technically illegal errors. N Venezuelans are to be treated to an in- 'terestlng naval display from which they may Judge between the strength at sea of America and England. How sore are the straits into which the New Tork Democrats have been thrown by Peck's report is shown, among other things, by tho efforts of some of them to controvert its statements by tho census statistics of one Porter, lor whose inaccuracies they could not until now find no abuse too strong. Seventeen cities are petitioning the President to prohibit Immigration for 90 days at least, and Pittsburg should add ltseU to the nnmber. Attorney General Hensel's opinion that ono man can form a group needs to bo corrected by Lord Dundreary's answer to the remaik that "birds of a leather flock to gether." "Of course they do," said the in telligent gentleman, "how could one bird flocit all by itseltt" Washington will be painted bine when the Q. A. K. takes possession. The veterans aie old enough to know better than to paint It red. By issuing a circular congratulating the country on the results of tho elections in Arkansas, Vermont and Maine the Demo cratic National Committee has shown its in clination to he impertinent without tho least provocation. Diana of the chase is not chaste enough for Chicago women unless draned In tho fashions ot this enlightened nineteenth cen tury." Even in the face of the Chicago platform and its biazenly outsDoken tariff plank, some of the Democratic organs are trying to sugar the pill or free trade under the illusive euphuism of "tariff reform." Henry George has called on Grover Cleveland at Buzzard's Bay, so the looked for letter must have made some advance. A permanent bureau of tax statistics at Harrisburg would ho an excellent institu tion and a valuable source of information if it could be established and maintained on a proper business-like basis. As a result of Strain's trial and punish ment lailroad men may realize that there is such a thing is criminal negligence. Hill and Breckenridge are announced to speak at tho same meeting ut Brooklyn. The former will typify the coercive power of the machine, -while the latter represents the persuasive power of oratory. Depew has been ashore for some time now, and it is about time that his voice should be heard in the land. The dread of a disease so dangerous as cholera is even sufficient to lead to the description of a sudden serions illness on a railroad train as due to "heart troublo only." JcriTEK'S fifth satellite is a little thine; that goes a long way. And it does it in short oidcr, too. While Governor Pattison is catching flali hU Commonwealth, thanks to his apntny In the matter of furnishing the State Board of Health with funds, is liable to catch cliol eia. If those scared by the cholera are fright ened into cleaning up the plague can bo de fled. Every community in the county is in terested in the good health of the rest, and for the benefit of all It is essential that each should have a pure and sufficient water sup ply. In the matter of its Governorship Texas is hardly prepared to go tho whole Hogg.

The Aurora-adorers of the Democracy, from Harrlty and Dickinson down, have been making much of the result in Maine, following close upon the deoreased Ko publican majority in Vormonfc. The party in the Pine Tree Btate, though, is not dis couraged by the election figures. The Port land Press, which is understood to voice the sentiments of ex-Speaker Reed, sums up the situation thus, after lelerrfng to the effect of the new voting system: "Undoubtedly another thing whioh operated to reduce the Republican majority below that of 1883 was the failure on the part of tho Republicans to appreciate the unnsual activity of the Demo cracy and their superior organization. As a rule the Democrats are badly led and badly managed in this State, and so the Republic ans have got in tho. habit of assuming that there will be no diffloulty in overthrowing them, and that no great amount of exertion Is needed. If, therefore, iris not convenient for a Republican to go the polls, be is apt to stay away on the assumption that the Demo crats will be apathetic and will not got out their vote. This year, however, the Democrats have manifested altogether more life than for years, having been better of ficered, and the result has been that they have got out their vote better than usual. The Republicans hsve been, to a certain extent, the victims or ovorconfidence. They havo lost the majority which they misht easily have had. Simply because many of them have not taken the trouble to go to the polls. Of oourse an attempt will be made to interpret the cutting down of the Republican majority as an indication that the Repub licans aro growing lukewarm In their sud port ot their principles. But the true ex planation undoubtedly is that they did not nppieciatoin season tne unusual cuortsine Democrats were making,'' Joe Cannon, whose defeat in 1890 was largely attributed to an indiscreet tongue, is reported to be making a winning fight in the Fifteenth Illinois Congressional district this time. A story is current in political circles to to tho effect that the National Committee has advised the Wisconsin Republicans to sacrifice the State ticket for the National ticket. Ex-Senator Spooner, the Repub lican candidate tor Governor of Wisconsin, is understood to be favorable to this pro gramme. He does not care to be Oovernor, and is only ambitious to go baok to the Senate. Orders havo been issued, it is said, with his oonseut, to trailo the State ticket for votes for Harrison. The trading report is piobably based oiib statement fiom Mr. Payne, the member of the National Committee from Wisconsin, who is quoted as saying: "Tho Republicans of Wisconsin are le-united, the dissensions in the party owing to tho school question two ears ago having been measurably healed up. and the party presents a solid I rout. While it Is not expected that the majority will leach that or 1888 there is no reason to doubt that the State will cast Its electoial vote for Harrison and Itei'J." GeneraiGener, of Virginia, called on Chairman Carter the other day, and said: 'I am periectly satisfied with the way things are going In my State. I am convinced thor oughly that the majoiity of votes in the Old Dominion are flimly opposed to accord ing Mr. Clevoland another term as Presi dent." But Murat Halstead has given up the idea which ho has been cherishing that the solid South will be broken this year. He thinks, though, that lc will be confronted by a practically united North. In a letter Just written, ho says: "Just now it is my iudg ment the States or the South will be solid for the Democratic party. The force bill outcry has been effective in the South. It is equivalent to making flamboyant tho Con fedetato 'bloody shirt.' It Is a costly suc cess, however Considerable, that is gained by such means, and the achievement .of mustering the Southern States in a row to stand up and be counted for the Democratio National ticket, under passions that have faded, piejudices that are -worn and colors that are false, has come to pass tor tho last time. The conviction now general in the North that the South Is to be solid again confirms tho. old standing of the Repub lican States of the Northwest. The coun try at large is weary of Southern section alism, and will resent it by carryiug all other sections of the conntry against the Democracy. The force bill bnns band bel low ing has had Influence in the South. It is without effect in all the rest of the cotintiy. The forcing of the pretence or an issue is regarded as humorous by those who are not too much disgusted to ie amused. As the force bill flurry goes it is a cynical and (aicical Jest, but capitally played." Of course Mr. Halstead's concession does not settle the matter, but It vi 111 doubtless be a drop or comfort to the Democracy, which has been sorely in need of something in that line. But Weaver's followers, at least.are still llkolv to make a vigorous struggle for one or two Southern Statos. Tjtere will be two State elections held during the month of October, In Georgia and Floiida. Both are scheduled for the first Wednesday of the month, falling on the 1th. The contests are between the Democratic and People's parties. Fists are being used and firearms dis played in the Georgia campaign, particu lailyin the dlstiiet in which Watson, the Popnlite Congressman who originated the cold tea scandal, is striving for a re-election. According to a telegram from Augusta, Wat son traveled to that city to engage in a Joint debate on a train with several hundred Democrats wearing the badges or hU oppo nent. Among them was Mr. Frank Jordan, of Hancock county. Watson was sitting In a car with many ladies. Jordan sauntered up the aisle of the car, and as he passed Watson's seat said in a rather loud tone: "Watson is a traitor. Hi; was elected as a Democrat and sold.out to the Republicans." "Yon a,re a Hart'-' hissed Watson as ho bounded from his seat and landed several blows under Jordan's ear. Jordan quickly turned and started for Watson, but the crowd Intel fared and separated the two men before any damage was done. Several men on tbe tiam made motion todiaw pistols and knives, but desisted on account of tho presence or Indies. Joidan 8ays he will settle with Watson later, when there will be no danger to observers. Snch are the amen ities ot the canvass in the central State of the hitherto solid South. The report is received that Mr. Blaine may decide to enter the Senate instead of Mr. Hale, whose successor is to be chosen by the Legislature elected in Maine this weok. Hale is a candidate for re-election, but Mr. Blaine can have about anything he deilres in the Pine Tree State. What a flsure the Plumed Knight would make in the Senate. The nomination of ex-Senator Blair, of educational bill and rejected Chineso Min ister fame, for Congress, has created quite p, stir in New Hampshire'. Tho district gave a Democratio plurality of ovor 1,000 two years ago. and has always been considered a doubtful one. There are two views. Ono is that tho good people or Blair's district will see to it that he "got there." Blnlr is a good man and everybody know s It. He doesn't drink, nor chew, nor smoke, nor swear, nor go to theaters In fact, he doesn't do anything wrong. "Tho Christian Statesman" his admirers called him when he was in politics before; a Chris tian statesman they say he would be if ho should get back again. But Blair Is not popular with the ward workers, the pub licans and the sinners. One man will say that Blair will get the bisgest vote ever cast for a Republican candidate for Congiessin the district; another will as positively pi o dict that he will run behind His ticket 2,000 votes. What Blair thinks nobody can tell. He declares that ho expects to be elected, but it doesn't follow that he really expects to be a Congressman again. Blair wouldn't tell a lie for anything, but in political pi o varication ho is equaled by few and excelled by, none, according to his political oppo nents. Perhaps Cleveland has discreetly con cluded not to accept that nomination until after election. Then he will be better able to Judge of its value. Cincinnati Brewers CTght Increased Tax s.

It Is a Little Thing and Whirls Around In Snaca at a Kapld Kate. SakFraucisko, Sept. 14. Prof. Barnard has given more facts In regard to his great dis covers of a new satellite of Jupiter. He says that he found the new body at mid night of Friday last, and very soon became aware of its true character. Friday is the Professor's night with the big telescope, and, although he had no reason to suspect that there existed an inner satelllto of such magnificent dimensions, he resolved to look specially for unknown moons of the giant planet with tho success already made known. . Later investigations have shown that Bar nard's satellite revolves in a period of 11 hours and B9 minutos. The young astrono mer made tho micrometer Investigations himself and then, computed the resulting elements. From the amount of light' re flected by this tiny moon, lie says that it is certainly not more than 100 miles in diame ter, and is piobably Ies. It Is so close to the primary that the greatest possible dis tance from the edge of Jupiter, at which the satellite may be observed, is 36 seconds of aro, or say about two-thirds the diameter of the planet. In speaking of his discovery, Prof. Bar nard said that the new satellite is certainly as faint as the thirteenth star magnitude, and probably much less. In the great Lick refractor it appears as an exceedingly tiny star In very rapid motion. The movement was clearly exhibited in the successive micrometer measurement, so that there could be not the least doubt about the char acter of the discovery. Barnard spoke of one curions feature ap parent in the study of the fifth Jovian moon. Tho period is so very nearly one half a solar day that for months at a time only one elongation is visible at anyone place. For example, at the present time only the Eastern elongation cam be seen in the United States, since the Western elonga tion takes place during daylight. At the European observatories tho reverse is the case, and, consequently, Vienna and Nice will for some time secure careful observa tions of the Western elongation of this now body. Acoording to the discoverer, the new moon is muoh mora difficult to observe than the satellites of Mars. These can be seen with ordinary telescope-) during a favoraulo op position, but the Jovian attendant can at the best be seen only, as Prof. Barnard re marked, with the 30-inch Pulkova telescope, the 30-inoh at Nice, the '23-inch at Vienna, and possibly, under the most favorable auspices, by tho 26-lnch refractor at the Washington Naval Observatory. The new satellite was observed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and the truth of the facts given is now beyond all question. BIGGER THAN THE LICE. An Immense Telescope to Be Constructed for tho Paris Exhibition. Paris Correspondence London Standard.! The idea started byM. F. Deloncle of mak ing an immense toiescopo the gieat attrac tion of the International Exhibition to be held In France In 1900 has been laughed at a good deal, on account of some ono having nretended that thro agh it the moon would be seen as clearly as if the observer wero standing at no more than a metre's distance. The piojoct is, however, far from aban doned, notwithstanding the great difficulty or constructing the huge instrument, wbioti is to be 44 yards long. M. Deloncle has Just had an interview at the Paris Observatory with MM. Paul and Prosper Henry, assistant astronomers; M. P. Gamier, .optioal instru ment maker, and two architects. Accord ing to information furnished by M. Deloncle, the Immense Instrument, weighing nine tons, will be 9 feet 10 Inches in diameter and 19i inches thi ck. MM. Ilenry, the great in stiument maker, flxed these dimensions, M. P. Gautier is studying the conditions for the construction of the telescope, and the task of furnishing the great coneave mirror will fall to the St. Golban Glass Woiks. The cost of the Instrument. Ith the neces sary foundations and structures, will, it is calculated, reach 2,500,000 francs. MM. Paul and Prosper Henry, writing to the Temps, say that, from a theoretical point of view, there is nothing impossible in the project; but to carry it out in practice might prove difficult. 'For the success of the enterprise everything depends upon tho possibility of obtaining the necessary disk tor the grand reflecting mitror of the dimensions given by M. Deloncle. They point ont that the largest disk yet made weighs only 1,200-welght, whereas the one it is proposed to make must weigh nearly nine tons. M. Gautier, the eminent constructor of the instruments of the French observa tories. Is pieparlnz plans for the mechanical mounting or this gigantic apparatus. The largest reflecting telescope In the world that of Mr. Commons Is about four feet 10 inches in diameter, Tho projected Instrument will, it Is said, give foir times more light than the largest instrument known, and will permit of the discovery of stars four times smaller than any of those now known. Its magnifying power, it is expected, will be 15,000 times, so that It will be possible to perceive on the moon objects no bigger than 21 tquaro feet. SAW HEH DEATH IK A VI8I0K.
