OCT. 4, 18T2. TWELVE PAGES ANAHCJIY AND DEMOCRACY. A novel element lias been introduced into ihe campaign by the claim of the Anarchis orsan of New York that the Democratic plitform sleals the A'larch istic thunder in its demand for the repeal of the 10 rcr cent tax on bank note circu lation. The argument of the Anarchist sheet is that "the central and foremost of the demands of anarchism" is that of "free money vs. money monopoly." Con sequently the Democratic demand adopts the Anarchist principle. Tins is a class of alliance from which Democracy can wisely pray to be deliv ered. While it is very plain that the Democratic proposition would, if carried out, cieate monetary anarchy, it is difficult to believe that there is any real satisfac tion of the Anarchist idea of destroying law in the liberty to issue wildcat bank notes under authority of the State Legisla ture. If this is the Anarchist ideal the people had an ample experience of it from 1840 to 1860, and will not be at all disposed to repeat it. But it is to be noted that there is one pfiint in which the Democracy and the Anarchists appear to be really in unison. That is the assertion that the national bank system establishes, "money monop oly." The exact contrary is the case. Any man in the land is at liberty to put out national bank representations of money by complying with regulations established bylaw to insure that the no'esshill al ways be worth what they pretend to b It is true that the high price of the United States bonds makes those regula tions restrictive at present But the obvious cire for that difficulty is to en large the list of securities available rs a basis for circulation, and not to go back to the days of worthless bank circulation. With ihe monetary anarchy that would nece-sarily follow the Democratic proposi tion, and the Anarchist symotthy for th idea of letting everyone issue his own b.tnk no'es w'thout any security what ever, the Democratic attitude on the cur rency question is sufficiently character ized. THE PROTECTION OF THE LAW. Tnc cip'ure or Jack Rimsey. the as sociate of Frank Cooley, closely following the Lining of the latter while resisting the slier ff's posse permits the hope that the gang of thieves winch has so long infested the mountain district has been finally broken up. It was a descredit to Fayette county that they were permitted to defy the law 50 long ?s they d'd; but the-r sup pression is better late than never. " This progress hav,ng been made in the vindication of the law, the lesson of the Cooley outlawry shouH not be lost. The enforcement of the law should not be per mitted at any time to fail through laxity or negligence. Whenever a crim againt persons or property is committed the whole power of the law should be exerted to bring the criminals to justice. The only way to prevent the growth of such outlawry as that of the Cooleys is to sup press them at the very outset of their career. The necessity of continuing vigorous efforts to make life and property safe in Fayette county is enforced by one fact. There is strontr reason to suspect tliat other lawless persons have been commit ing crimes in that region under the knowl edge that their offenses would be charged to the Cooley gang. If the law is to rule in Fayette every such offender mnst be hunted down and broucht to justice. MR. ROBINSON'S DENIAL. Since The Dispatch commented quite sharply on Congressman Robinson's re ported utterances concerning the ballot Jaw, it Is no more than justice to give publicity to his denial of the accuracy of the report He insists that he did not say that he was opposed to the law, for he is not; but that he is not in favor of some of its details. Everyone will agree to that general view, inasmuch as many of the details added by that famous Senatorial revision of the Baker bill have been from the first recognized as defects which go far toward vitiating the enactment No doubt exists as to the necessity for amend ment, although it is possible that a wide difference might develop between Mr. Robinson and the supporters of ballot re form as to what the amendments should be. There has been ground for suspicion of a politicians' movement to make the operation of the act cumbrous and unpop ular; but we are glad to give Mr. Robinson the credit of his disavowal of any such purpose. CANADA'S CANALS. Another Canadian canal project has gained attention in the form of a plan to connect Lake Erie and Lake St Clair. The New York Sun correctly says that for military purposes a canal connecting Georgian Bay with Lake Ontario would be very effective, as it would escape the command which the United States now has of the Detroit River route, and which it could easily extend to the St Clair. This is undoubtedly accurate; but it is worth while to remember that the com mercial results of the Canadian canals are more immediate and more important than their military aspects. War between this liation and England or Canada Is a remote piTspect, and would ba at most but a transient phase. The commercial rivalry is constant and will continue. While Canada may not have kept pace with us in industrial development, it )3 undisputable that in the open ing of water connections from the Iake3 to the sea it has got far in advance of us. That superiority would be increased by the construction either of the Lake Erie and Lt!.e St. Clair Canal or by the Ontario aud.Georgian Bay scheme. On our side wo can restore the balance, if the nation, with its vast resources, ad dresses itself in earnest to the construc tion of internal water ways. But,to real ize; the project which will connect the rivers with the lakes, and the lakes with the ocean, the national policy must bo formed on national lines and not on the system of sectional grabs which now dominates appropriations for internal w.tcr ways. DEMOCRATIC SELF-EXPOSUKE. The Democrats In New York continue to pursue the prosecution of their own statistican Peck for the crime of report ing a condition of industrial prosperity. The difficulties in their way might daunt less determined minds, but they continue to struggle with tli3 task. The Demo cratic Superintendent of Banking has given corroborative evidence of Peck's rcpori by showing that savings bank de posits in New YorK have increased S13, 000,000, anrl that the sum invested Jn bulking and loan associations has en larged $4,000,000. That recreant Demo' crat hr.s not yet been hauled before the criminal courts, but wesuppose the Dsmo cratic managers are waiting till they get through with Peck before they tackle another snbj?ct. The fact that this is an indictment of a Democrat! cfiicial, and that it declares it a J ublic effense to report statistics that do nol suit the Democrats, have already been noted. But there are other peculiar phases. In the first place we have the spectrcle of Democratic campaign man agers assuming the role of public prose cutors. A new terror is added to ma chine politics in the assumption of the campaign committees of the rjght to haul anyone who produces the wrong sort of arguments before the bar of justice. But even that aspect is dwarfed by the char acterization which the Democrats give to themselves. The Democratic party has been stigma tized as the Calamity party. At first the foundation for such a name was rather slight, but the Democrats seem determined to justify it In every step of their at tack on Peck they proclaim that the Dem ocratic cause depends on the misfortune of industry. To find workingmen whoso wages are increased is treason to the Dem ocratic cause; to discover industries whose output is enlarged becomes a criminal offense. There has rarely been in the his tory of the country such a demonstration by a political party that it identifies its' cause with Industrial prostration, low wages and calamity generally. Democracy has done many foolish things in its day, not'the least among which are its return to Calhounism and wildcat bank notes, in the present year. But the exposure which it insists on making of itself in the Peck prosecution is something phenomenal, even for Bourbon stupidity. LAWLESSNESS SnOULD STOP. The fact that assaults continue to be made on the men who have taken positions in the Carnegie mills demands some notice. One which may yet turn out to be of murderous character was reported yesterday, the victim being a worker in the Lawrenceville works. TnE Dispatch has deprecated the use of the legal machinery for prosecutions which savor of intimidation of the strikers. It is equally p'ain that the resort to force against non-union men is criminal law lessness and requires the sternest measures of suppression. Such acts bring the cause of organiz-d labor into disrepute. So lone as they continue they attack the protection which the law must guarantee to every man however humble. It is the first duty of the leaders of the union men to disavow and suppress such criminal acts. So long as they permit their cause to be identified with defiance of the law they can have little claim on public sympathy. AN OLD ABUSE. The example recently brought to public n otice of the device to avoid the extor. tionate transcontinental railroad rates by shipping goods from New York to Liver pool and thence to San Francisco Is thought by the Boston Herald to be a "striking illustra'ion of the unequal charges for transportation." It is un donstedly a striking illustration; but It is by no means a new one. Long before the passage of the inter-State commerce law similar illustrations of the grotesqueness of railway discriminations were brought out. Large quantities of goods from Pitts burg destined to the West and Southwest were started on their road by taking exactly the opposite direction to New York or Pniladelphia and then coming back through Pittsburg to their destina tion. It was testified before the Hepburn investigation in New York that a Western New York manufacturer m shipping to a point so nsar as Cincinnati found is neces sary to send his goods to New York and then back again over the same route to Cincinnati. It is worth while to remem ber that such abnormal exemplifications of incongruous rates are the constant features of the unregulated control by railroad managers of freight charges. The last case is only a proof that the era of railroad combination maintains the old abuses in scarcely modified form. If competition reculated the charges of railroads they would be compelled to take freight from one point to another by the most direct routes and at the lowest clnrges. The way to rectify all such eccentricities of the rate-sheets is to restore the full force of competition. Now that law has been vindicated to some extent by the -death ot Frank Cooley and the arrest of bis chief comrade in crime, Fayette county citizens may sleep in peace free from exaggerated, but not unfounded, fears that they will be called up during the night to deliver up their savings to armed thieves and tortnring bullies. Free bridges and pure water do not come by talking alone, but talking is the first step to be taken toward tho realization of such blessings. A national bank dollar bill is worth a dollar; State bank bills without national backing would be worth a dollar less a fluctuating discbunt and generally an un pleasantly stitf discount at that. Yet the Democratic platform demands that the country be exposed to the disastrous dangers of a wildcat currency. Mercy is admirable in that "The quality of mercy is not strained." The Allegheny river water supply is obnoxious for the same reason. ' It is a curious suggestion that the labor problem of America should be solved by throwing the country open to European competition. Yet the suggestion is seriously made to the American public in the distinct and incisivo language of the Chicago plat form. Rainbow-chasers still have time to reform andremdmber that the absence of THE PITTSBURG expectation Is the best preventive of disap pointment. ( - "- OUR cotemporary, the Telegraph, put on a handsome new autumn dress yesterday. Tho Telegraph can bo complimented theso days not only on Its appearance lint upon its general excellence as a newspaper. FAR from carrying New York, Cleveland is just in the right position to fall between the two stools of snappers and anti-snap-pors. If Cleveland's letter expressed his opin ions, ana if he had tho courage of his con victions, he could not but refuse to remain the candidate of the party tbnt fiamed the Chicago platform. SUEMVAN threatens to need beating a often as the Democratic candidate bofore relinquishing his claim to public attention. The sculptress who modeled ex-President Cleveland in clay must have a penchant for portraying great Americans. She modoled Corbett tho day after the Democratic candi date sat to her. Frost is to be expected any night from now on, but the Presidentnl persimmon will not bo ready to tumble for five weeks yet. It sounds peculiarly humorous to hear of a proposed air lino from New York to San Francisco while freight still lias to travel via Liverpool from one to the other to save ex pense. Judge GnnsiiAM would much oblige a truth-loving and Ingenuous public by a biief exposition of his political creed. The administration of the Allegheny Jail makes the institution a credit to tho county. The fewer inmates that lawbreak ing gives it, the greater crodit it will be. Protection' is defensiv of American interests a tariff for revenue only is offens ive, to American industries, i The fate of the nation is in the balance to-day. The baseball magnates meet nt New Yoik, and of course the welfaro of tho coun try depends entirely on their action. Treason would be a good charge to bring against some of the monopolistic trusts. The only really practical politician is a man that makes a careful study of the issues before the nation, and votes according to his best judgment honestly arrived at. Workmen who appeal to force and defy the law forfeit public sympathy. It is an agreeable change to hear that four daylight bank robbers wero captured at Erie. They so generally manage to gel away, for a while at least. PEOPLE OP PROMINENCE. Senator Allison has not, so far as is known in Washington, lesigned his place in the International Monetary Commission. Frederick Gebhard, whose ill luck upon the turf has persistently followed him, has decided to sell all his race horse3 in training and i etire from the, track. Lord Kosebery provides hit plowmen with the daily and all tue leading agricul tural papers. They are presumed to get most of their diverting reading out of the latter. The Bohemian language has the sibilated r, and the name of Dvorak, the great com poser who has just arrived in America, is therefore pronounced as if bpel'ed "Dvor schak." Chief Arthur claims that during the 28 years of its association life, the Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engineers has distributed $3,009,000 to tho widows and families of de ceased members. ' Hon. Eobert T. Lincoln, the United States Minister to Great Britain, will sail from Loudon to the United States this week on a short leave of absence. He will return with Mrs. Lincoln in Kovember.

According to a Naples Journal, she wrotoa number of pooms this. last summer, but docllnes to allow even King Humbert to read them. Antohin Dvorak, the celebrated com poser, who has arrived in this country to take charge of tho National Conservatory of Music at Kew York at a salary or $15,000 a year, is 01 ycara-of age and started on his musical career in Prague at $9 a week.

They Slurder a "Wealthy Banchcro and Appropriate His Cattle. Mohterey, Mexico, Oct. 3. A band of brigands and smugglers under the leader ship of Leonardo Gonzales, has been com mitting depredations near Sillno, 20 miles -west of here. A few nights ago they robbed and murdered a wealthy ranchman named Fala,cio Rarlguez, afterward driving olf sev eral hundred head of cattle. The particulars of the crime were imme diately sent to Governor Beyes, ot this city, and a detachment of 300 Mexican soldicis, cavalry and infantry, have left on special train; for the scene of the trouble. There are about 40 men in the band of outlaws. They are well armed and make the moun tains near Salino their rendezvous. This is the first outbreak or brigandage that has oc curred in this part of Mexico for several years and the Government proposes to wipe the marauders out of existence.

Two State elections will occur this week, and after them thcro will be no more such tests of political strength until the great contest in November. Both tho current elections are in tho Sor:th, Florida voting to-day and Georgia on Wednesday. This is the first appearance of Florida in tho Use of October States, the change having been made b7 the last Legislature. While early Stato elections were being abandoned in other sections of the country Florida adopted the plan because of fear of tho force bill, figuring that if the State and national elections wero separated the hated federal supervisors could not interfere In tho former, at least. Tl.e contest this year is not of more than nsual importance, and a Democratic victory is conceded. In Georgia, tho canvass has been or a very lively character, as shown by Weaver being driven from the State. The Republicans havo no ticket in the field, and the strugglo is between the People's party and the Democracy. Governor Northern, who is running for re-election, was an Alli ance Democrat, but his views were not radi cal enough for the Third party advocates, who have been making a mpst aggres sive flaht for their ticket. The Populites expect to make a demonstration which will show their strength in the South, while the Democrat clnim that by rolling up a ma jority of SO.UO0 or more they will practically crush out the now party in tho Soutli. For its effect on neighboring states the returns from Georgia .will bo awaited with consid ciablo interest by Southorn politicians and at National headquarters. Bon Casieron was one of the callers at the National Repunlican headquarters the other day. Pennsylvania's senior Sonator may now be placed in the list of tho pla cated. Hating heard unpleasant rumors from Alabama tho New York Times, Cleveland's personal organ, sent a staff correspondent there to investigate. Ills report is not es pecially calculated to cheer tho Democracy. Among other things be says: "Tnis State Is dangerously doubtful. That roan would be rash Mho would to-day predict whether the electoral vote will be cast for Cleveland, Harrison, or Weaver. A stranger to the State may easily be excused for inability, after a necessarily supeiflcial investigation of the situation, tobisean opinion of the outcome upon the predictions of interested partisans. A man with predilections for the Democratic ticket must rely upon the assur ance? of the leading Democrats that tho Stato will bo for Cleveland in spite of the gloomy ontlook, and that by hard work, such as Democj nts never put lorth in this State before in a national cimpaign, vlctbry for clevoland and Stevenson will bo re poited on November 9. Nothing could bo nioro wretched than tho Democratic divi sion here. It is deep, bitter, extensive, as divisions upon prsonal grounds may some times bo. The fizht in Alabama is not a national contest atall. National issuos are talked of, but incidentally only. Cleveland and Steversnn and the Congresionnl candi dates in the State will suffer in consequence of this deplorable faction flirht, in which the ruling impulse among tho Kolb people is one of revenue. The hostility to Cleveland and the National Democraoy Is .senseless, and persistence in it may be fntnl, as It is politi cally crimii.al But no one who has not come in contact with these resentful Kolb nion can nppieciato the intensity of their detoimluation to be "square" with the Jones Democracy, even though it be at the expense of Cleveland's defeat," The speaking campaign in this State will be fully opened very soon. General Hastings will speak at She: andoab to-night, and soon after at York. Governor JIcKinloy will speak at Towandn about tho 10th, and Con gressman D.ilzell is down for n speech at Indiana on tho Htli. Other speakers will be out in a short time. At a Democratic ward meeting in Phila delphia the other evening an election was held under the new ballot law,' sample tickets and the paraphernalia being at hand. Of those present 110 availed them selves of the opportunity to tost their abll ity to prepare the ballots properly without assistance. When tho ballot-, were opened and oxamined it was found that 22 were de fective and at a real election would have been thrown out of the count. As this was almost 1G per cent of the entiro vote, it will be seen that a good don.1 of instruction will be required if the number of void ballots is to bo kept down to a mfnimum. A most noticeable feature of tho voting above re ferred to is the fact that a majority of the 22 defective ballots were cast by men of in telligence, who it might be supposed were the very ones who required no instruction. The loss of votes involved in a throwing outoi 16 per cent of the ballots can be better realized when it is remembered that Harri son's plurality of 80,000 four years ago was only about Sporcentof tho total vote. Of couise ic is to be expected that the loss will bear proportionately upon both pa i tics, and there is no danger of the new method changing to any great extent the gen eral result in Pennsylvania. In close districts the ontcome on Congressional and. local tickets may be affected, however. This danger would have been al most totally obviatod if the Baker law had piovided.as everybody supposed it did, that one cross mark would vote a complete straight ticket. "Whitelaw, Eeid's Tribune intimates that the people of New Yoric havo such a high regard tor Mr. Cleveland as a neighbor that they will never call upon him to reside elsewhere. TnE most outspoken member of the ad ministration on political topics is Sec retary Fo3ter, of the Treasury. Af ter returning to Washington f i om a con ference with Chairman Caitor and other Republican leaders he said: "I found all the people at our headquarters very con fldent, but tho Democrats seemed to be con fident, too. I met Senator Gorman, and asked him what he thought of tho situation, and br said: 'It tbo election should take place to-morrow we would win, but you peo ple have a way of crawling out through such small hole3 that there is no telling what may happen by November.' Chairman Car ter seemed to bo leellng pretty good over the outlook, but was complaining of a want of funds. I consoled him by-telling htm tho campaign barrel was usually the emptiest thing on earth." The Secietary sees some very gorgeous rainbows In tho Southern skies, and be expects electoral votes (or Harrison and Reid in States that are usually considered unalterably In the Democratic column. According to his prophecies the solid South is a thing ot tho past. He said Virginia Has a Republican State, and though the Republicans might not carry it, tbeiewaeno ussunmce that Mr. Cleveland would. He has great taith in tho third parly movement throughout tho entiro South as un ally of the Republicans, no saysall through the Sinth third party men are to be appointed deputy marshals and supervisors ot-electlons and are to have completecbargeot the election machinery so far as it is lit the hands of the federal authorities. Bichard Croker says: "I have looked over affairs pretty closely, and can honestly say that at this stage I never knew the chances tor Democratic success any brighter." General Weaver completed his South ern stumping tour in a most sanguine frame ot mind, notwithstanding tfte excessively torrid manner in which his party w.is received at some places. In speaking or the rongh treatment he received in Georgia, General Weaver said that no discourtesy was shown blm by ex-Confederates, "many of whom," said ho, "will vote for me In November." The mob which potted the General with anciont hen fruit was, he said, composed of young toughs, who were not only too ydung to have taken any partintnolato war, hut the major por tion of whom are too young to vote at the coming election. Ho thinks that his "re ception" in that State will react against the Democrats, and make votes for the People's party ticket. "Besides" chimed in Mis. Lease, "we were not treated as badly as re ported; the newspapers manufactured most of the 'scenes' which havo been given to the public." Genoral Weaver said that he ex- Eected to carry Alabama, -North Carolina, ansas, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Mon tana, Nebraska and Virginia. West Vir ginia and Tennessee,, he thinks, will go Re publican. He declined to discuss at length the charges which the Democratic newspa pers are publisliingaguinst him; but when specifically questioned about tho Pulaski charges, ho said they wero "utterly untrue." The campaign will soon reach the stage when betting argCBents will claim equal prominence with tat and force bill ora tory. I OCTOBER 4, 1892. OUR MAIL PfiTJCH. ' A Sharp Reminder to Government of a Dutyas to Immigration. To the Editor of Tho Dispatch: DEAitSiK-ln the October number of the North American Review Surgeon General Wal ter Wyman says: . "Concerning safeguards against cholera there can be no doubt that the Mohammedan religion is largely responsible for tho spread of oholera throughout the nations of Chris tendom." "In another place I havo officially do scribed the nnspoakab'e horrors of theso pilgrimages. The mortality or these trailing masses of humanity on their way to and from the shrines has been known to bo as high as 000 daily." President Charles D. Wilson, of tho New York City Board of Health, says: "Fortun ately for all of us the news servlco of tho present day is so perfect that we had ample warning. Sten by step, from its origin In Meshed, Persia, "among the pilgrims who gathered by the tomb of the Mohammedan saint Rlza, the etgnth ot thu tw.ilvu Imams, along its line of march through Russia until it reached Hamburg, wo noticed the progress of the disease. It spread to Fiance and Eng ilaml, and weknow it would be but a short time before it reached tho shores of Amer ica.'.' The result displavs tho astoun cling greed and recklosness of public inttiests aiming trans-Atlantic icarr.ers of immigrants, as they never hesitated an Instant to bnn.r this pestilence-breeding horde to America until they were stonped bv the Boaid ot Health of the city of Now York.

Can it be possible that tho Government of the United States will again watch the "progress of this disease frr in Msebed to Now York without making cmo effort to star its progress until it reaches our shores?

EXPLOEIKG GKEEKLAND. Tho Danish Expedition Also Obtaining Val uable Scientific Results. Gloucester,' Mass , Oct. 3. The sohnouera Ada S. Babdon and Laurel arrived to-day from Iceland, each bringing 140,009 pounds of halibut. Tho Danish bark Hogla, that had been exploring on the coast of Green land, had arrived at Dyro.'jord. Her commander reports that the Hogla was 15 months on the coast of Greenland, most of the time being imprisonod In the lee; that one of the crew died and was burled in tho Arctic ocean, and that explorations of con siderable importance were made. The party found the remains ot Eskimo habitations, with dishes made of stono and other urticles, the use of whioh was unknown, all of which were forwarded to the Danish Government. The commander of the Hogla explored the island of Janmayer, in latitude 71 north longitude 7 west, very deep water being found in that locality. - The party dredged in 475 fathoms of water, bringing up sediment which contained such an imal vegetation as sea anemone, together with particles similar to iron oie. Alter refitting at Iceland, the Hogla sailed Angust 23 for Greenland to complete the scientific re-eai ches that she had been com missioned to do, intending to romain all winter in South Gi eenland. The officers.crew and the scientist on board wcie all well and hopeful of attaining much valuable informa tion. A HYSTEEY EABILT SOLVED. How a Good Banknote Can Bo Circulated "Without a Number. WAsniHOTOir, Oct. 3. Special.' A week or two ago some of the bankers of Chicago tried to make a sensation out of the discovery of an unnumbered bill of the denomination of $3, bearing the vignette of General McPher son. As the number of a bill is of impor tance in its identification, and as this was no doubt a genuine bill, tho query at once arose as to how it could have Bllpped through the machinery of tho Treasury without receiv ing its number. Thematter was placed in the bands of Harry Smith, assistant register of the Treasury, and that gentleman has Jnst made a report, which is in substance that it is impossible this bill, or any bill, should go through tho department without being projierly nnmbered. It is supposed that some ono experimented on tho number &f the bill in question with chemicals, and succeeded in lemnving all traces of tho flguros. It frequently happens' that bills come back to the Treasury that have been thus tampered with.
