CURTIS OJf rnOTECTIOX.
Elsewhere may be found another letter
from the distinguished Democrat and
learned constitutional lawyer, Mr. George
Ticknor Curtis, wliich adds much to the
reputation of the claims made by the
Chicago Convention that the policy of
protecting American industries by the
tariff is unconstitutional. It is difficult to
conceive that men of intelligence, with the
facts of history before them, can sincerely
make the manifestly absurd statements on
this question which were set forth by the
Democratic leaders for partisan purposes,
and even received the indorsement of ex
President Cleveland, presumably for
reasons of political exigency.
Mr. Curtis' letter clearly demonstrates
that Madison and the Representatives of
1789 not only believed in the constitution
ality of Protection but in its benefits as
welL Protection is as constitutional as
the Federal power to impose any tariff at
all, and its beneficial results and tenden
cies are as indisputable as its-constitutionality.
WHEKE IT IS NEEDED.
The Chief of the Department of Public
"Works is reported as very properly calling
attention to the success of the ordinance
for the prevention of smoke in the resi
dence portion of the city. Many manu
facturing establishments located there
have already adopted devices which are
successful in reducing the smoke to a
minimum, and nearly all the others are
preparing to follow their example. The
result was apparent yesterday morning in
the clearness of the East End atmosphere
while the lower part of the city was
shrouded with a mixture of fog and
smoke.
This is another demonstration of the
entire practicability of reducing the
smoke produced by steam-raising
plants to an unappreciable minimum.
Since this much of the nuisance can be
abolished why not extend the reform to
the portion of the city that needs it most?
The greatest damage from smoke is done
to goods, clothing and architecture
in the business section of the city. The
major part of this injurious smoke is pro
duced by steam plants,, and eighty to
ninety per cent of it might be consumed
by proper appliances. The necessity for
municipal action is emphasized by the
fact that a largo numpcr of enterprising
business men have put in smoke consum
ers or patent stokers. They should bo
protected against having the results of
their intelligence nullified by their less
progressive neighbors who continue to
produce large voinmes of injurious smotce.
The ordinance having registered a sue-'
cess in the Eist End, it should be promptly
extended to the portion of the city lying
between the rivers southwest of Grant
and Eleventh strests, with a possible ex
ception in favor of the single rolling mill
in that district.
THE LATEST SHIFT.
The latest twist of the free trade organs
on the results of the statistical investiga
tions of the Democratic Peck appears in
the following editorial deliverance: "Stat
istician Peck has produced a list of 17,000
individual cases of an increase of wage?
in the building trades, which, of coarse,
do not belong to the 'protected indus
tries, and which,' therefore, owe nothing
to the McEjnlcy tariff in the matter of
wages."
Perhaps not But let us consider for a
moment There has been a somewhat
fervid contention on the part of Demo
cratic organs that the unprotected indus
tries are oppressed and ground down by
piotection. Xow, if under the measure
which is assaulted as increasing the pro
tection the unprotected industries show an
increase of wages, does it not look as i
the Democratic opinion is minus a leg to
stand on?
Again the Democratic assertion that the
prosperity of the country was hampered
and burdened by the McKinley act has
been so strenuous that to offer any facts
in contravention of it was treason, especi
ally in the case of Peck. But are the
building trades of that contrary and ex
ceptional character which advances wages
when ail other trades are drooping? It
has not been the experience in this part of
the country, but we suppose that things
may be different in the Democratic strong
holds of New York.
Finally, if Mr. Peck's figures have no
relations to the tariff issues, why is he
jumped on by Democrats from one end of
the country to the other, even to the
extent of hauling him into the criminal
courts?
THE LAUREATE ANACHRONISM.
Hardly auy more striking illustration of
the incongruity of royal patronage worthy
the spirit of the Nineteenth Century could
be furnished than the dissension which has
already arisen concerning the appointment
of a successor to Tennyson as poet
laureate. The sum total of the discus
sion so far is that it will be impossible
to name anyone for that position who is
entitled to even a second-rate rank in the
world's list of poets.
This is not at all unprecedented in the
history of poets laureate. Indeed, the rule
to have no higher than second-rate poets
in that position has only been varied in
the cases of Jonson, Dryden and Tenny
son. Such names as Shadwell, Tate,
Whitehead, Warton and Pye as poets
laureate of the last hundred years are
calculated to prepare us for almost any
thing in the line of anew appointment
The last three nominations have been
made under circumstances exceptionally
famous for the distinction of genius. Bat
it no w appears more than doubtful whether
the princinles of selection whichgave
Southey, Wordsworth and Tennyson that
official rank can be maintained in the se
lection of their successor.
This doubt is very marked in the dis
cussion of names considered eligiblo for
the position. In the present the appoint
ing power might be pardoned for failing
to elevate a great poet to the laureate
ship by the manifest impossibility of mak
ing bricks without straw. But it might
be expected that the best poet available
would be named. Yet it seems that con
siderations entirely separate from literary
talent are likely to control. Swinburne,
whose poetic rank is undoubtedly the
highest, is rejected because of his licansc.
This is not an altogether unreasonable
rigidity, but when we find 'William Morris
condemned for his democracy and social
ism and Edwin Arnold placed under the
ban for the suspicion of heterodoxy in
comparing Christianity and Buddhism,
we begin to see how little literary merit
has to do with the official recognition of
literature. The choice is reported to
simmer down to Lewis Morris, whose
muse is chastened to the limits of tho
common place, and Austin Dobson, whoso
graceful verse has always steered clear of
offense, by its triviality.
On the whole there is force in thn sug
gestion of the Speaker to let the office of
court poet fall into disuse like that of
court jester. Perhaps the Liberal Min
istry will strike out that bit of originality
as a measure lo distinguish an administra
tion that may be brief and possibly prove
futile in other respects.
THEORY AND PRACTICE,
A striking difference between theory
and practice is discovered by the New
YorkPosJin the utterances of the Socialist
Congress at Roubaix, and the actions of
tho miners of the Pas-de-Calais. The
Socialist Congress welcomed the Belgian
delegates with enthusiastic declarations,
that for them there were no longer
national divisions, but only international
solidarity for the elevation of the work
ingmen. Closely following this came
some riots of the French miners against
the employment of Belgians in the same
mines. The international jealousy was so
manifest in this outbreak that Belgian
workingmen on the other side of the bor
der paraded under a red flag crying:
"Death to the French," and attacking the
house of a woman of the latter nationality.
All of which demonstrates the difficulty
of securing the full adoption in actual
practice of a very highly pitched theory
in the abstract No one can deny that the
idea of union among laboring masses for
the benefit of all, without regard to
national divisions, is of the highest rank
of philanthropy. Even though the social
ist conception makes this union for the
purpose of attacking the bourgoisie, the
supposed ensiny of labor, the theory is all
right at the bottom though its application
is; a little twisted. Then French working
men riot against Belgians, and Belgians
against French. . It is sad that human
ignorance and passion arc unable to carry
splendid theories into perfect practice;
it is not unprecedented. Much more pre
tentious claimants to high standing than
the French workingmen exhibit the samo
difficulty, and the Post need noj, have gone
as far as France to discover examples of it
For instance, the Post refers to these in
ternational outbreaks as an example of
"protectionism." Yet one theory of the
opposition to protection is the assertion
that it does not protect the workingmen
of one nation from tho incursion of pauper
labor. The Post's seizure of an opposite
case illustrates the sad difficulty of mak
ing theory and practice harmonize. The
theory of the Post's party in the present
campaign is that to levy duties with any
purpose of protection is unconstitutional,
and those lights of Democracy when the
campaign is half over have found it neces
sary to assure the pubiic that a little
of the unconstitutional protection is ex
actly what the Democrats intend to give.
Hard money organs supporting the wild
cat bank note proposition, and reform
journals closing their eyes to the Tam
many methods used in support of their
candidate, are more striking illustrations
of the difficulty of making theory and
practice fit into each other than any out
breaks of French workingmen.
It is sad that theory and practice cannot
always agree. It will do so in the millen
nium, when there will be neither Hebrew
ncr Gentile, French or Belgian, protec
tionist or free trader, spoils politicians or
civil service reform journals which throw
aside their convictions for the exigencies
of a campaign.
WIXMAM'S LAST OUTBREAK.
The recent declaration of the Emperor
of Germany with regard to the legislation
he will insist upon is taken by the New
York Herald as foreshadowing a contest
which may mean.a revolution, and which
is asserted by that journal to signify .de
fiance "to the will of the people." The
declaration of the fiery-tongued 'William is
lo the fol'.owing effect, with regard to the
military bill:
This time I shall go on to the bitter end.
If necessary we willdlssolvo the Ueichstag,
and ir the new majority should also be hos
tile wo trill con tinuo dissolving until the bill
is passed.
If these words were spoken by a mon
arch who is not wont to say anything
without the certainty of sticking to it,
they would assuredly presage a severe
conflict in Germany. Such a conflict be
tween the monarch and the representative
assembly might result in the triumph of
one or the other, according to the temper
of both sides. But it would certainly
imply a grave crisis and a severe struggle
before its outcome was decided.
But fortunately the capacity of William
for thundering loudly in the index is too
well known to arouse apprehensions of
either coup d' etat or revolution.
That eccentric monarch commenced
his reign with the declaration that he was
inspired by the same desire for fame as
that which started his predecessor, the
great Frederick, on his career. But un
fortunately the fame which he has won
has been that for an imposing maximum
of promises and a pitiful minimum of per
formance. He has declared his intention
to do nearly everything from pacifying
and disarming Europe to setting up a mili
tary paternalism in which his sol
diers shall shoot down their fathers and
brothers at his command. But up to date
neither has Europe been disarmed nor
the fathers and brothers slaughtered.
There is no doubt that when William de
livered himself of his various startling dec
larations he fully thought that he meant
what he said. But his actions have been
more discreet than I113 words so far .as
public results are concerned.
William is further reported to have de
clared that to give up the military bill
would be suicidal. It will not be half as
suicidal as to continue to make these
mountains of declarations of his supreme
will labor with a ridiculus mus of per
formance. Justice Stovee at Ballston, N. Y., yes
terday relused to naturalize an Englishman
sixty years old, who has been in this coun
wh
JTH1T PEDTiSBUKG ' '
try twenty-five years, because he could
jiolther.read nor write tho English language.
The Justice 1ms refused five other appli
cants for similar roasons at this session, and
positively refuses to grant the rights of citi
zenship to any alien who is not qualified in
both these rudimentary branches of learn
ing. In view of the illiteracy still found
among some of thoso whose birtli entitles
them to the privileges of American citizen
ship, the Justice's rule may appear it trifle
severe. Rut it is a severity entirely in the'
right direction, lor the rights or citizenship
should be most Jealously gnarded from
thoso unfit to fulfill its responsibilities.
Christian Science may he an exem

When it is remembered that Europe was
handicapped by its greater age, and the
consequent necessity for a slower rate of
development, and that America had all
Europe's experience to draw Irom and none
of its established evils to overthrow, tho
progress of.the two continents duriug tho
last four centuries has been more nearly
equal than' was to be expected. America
lias surpassed Europe and it will always do
so, but thero is a good deal of oxcuse to be
nmcjo for tho slower movement of the older
civilization.
There is little pride or principle about a
political organization, such 11s tho third
party, that relinquishes Itself to the func

whom it professes to bitterly antagonize.
Besides the apathy which usually pre
vents u number of voters from performing
thoir duty at tho polls, there is this year tho
danger that many more will not think it
necessary to make a study of tho now ballot
sheets before casting their votes. The man
who abstains from voting is not worthy of
the rights or citizenship; he who votes with
out previous study is this year most likely
to find that his ballot has become a blank,
thanks to his careless ignorance.
Defeat in November should be desired
by Jlr. Cleveland as the only means by

Nohodv seriously maintains that labor

muneration, or that its conditions ot em
ployment In this country uro all that can be
desired to-day. But what cannot be logical
ly denied is that American workingmen are
far better 'situated than Europeans, and
that Protection Is the reason for their su
perior prosperity and the best means of pre
serving and increasing it.

DISPATQHT THURSDAY,'
CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT.
The statement made by Chairman Carter
the other day to the effect that if the Eepub
llcans lost the Presidency botn branches of
Congress would go, too, has naturally di
rected attention to that, branch of the can
vass. All politicians, of course, recognizo
that tho House is always a doubtful quan
tity, and that the Democrats have carried it
most frequently of recent years, but the
Senate has been gonerally supposed to bo
perfectly safe. It docs not follow that uo
causo Mr. Carter sees a possibility of its be
ing lost to the' Kepublicans that it will
be carnod by the Democrats. There is just
a cbanco, though, that tho Third party may
hold tho balanco of power. The present
membership of tho Senate is 47 Republicans,
SO Democrats nnd tho two nondescripts,
Peffer and Kyle. In three states which will
choose Senators, Now York, Montana and
Wisconsin, the Democrats hope to carry
the Legislatures and elect Democratic suc
cessors to Uepubllcan members. But even
if successful lu nil these States this would
oulv increase the Democratic total to 43. If
Peffer and Kyle voted with the Demo
crats, however, it would make a
tie and give tho Vice Pres'dent
the casting vote. Then, too, ,the Populists
liopo to again carry tho Kansas Locisiature,
anu choose a successor to Senator Perkins,
and thero is legislative fusion more or less
complotu between the Democracy and the
new organization in Michigan, Minnesota,
and North Dakota. In spite of all till-,
though, the odds aro largely in lavor of the
Kepublicans retaining control of the Senate.
If they come' any where near holding their
own In the Northwest that control is as
sured, and there is a bare possibility of
Republican Senatorial gains in West Vir
ginia and other Southern States.
The census of the students of Cornell
University as to thoir political picfeiences

ocrats, and Prohibitionists, at the time of
registration, show3 that thero are 530 Repub
licans, 239 Democrats, 06 Frohibltloulsts.
nine Independents, and three of tho
People's party.
While in New York Senator Sherman
expressed his conviction that tho Empire
State is the battleground and that tho Presi
dental contest will bo decided there. "I
think Harrison and Held will- be elected,"'
bo says, "but it all depends upon New York.
Right here, within a radius of ton miles of
whero 1 am sitting, tho national election
will be decided. Tho great business inter
ests in this city and tho country aro at
stake and I beliove Harrison will be chosen.
Without New York the Republicans cannot
win. Cut with the State, whether Indiana
goes Republican or not, tho Republican na

conversation with ex-Senator Warner Miller

Stato and may go Republican. Nebraska
and Colorado will go for Harrison. AH dan
ger of 'Wisconsin going Democratic lias, I
nellove, vanished with the return of tho
only obstacle to Republican success, tne
German Lutheran voto. The effect of the
recent elections in tho South will do to im
press upon tho mind of the people in Kan
sas, Nebraska and other Singes, where the
Third party idea has had tho largest sup
port, that the dream of a tolerant South is
illusory, and that all hope of n Third party
becoming, in any sense, a national, pariy
must be abandoned."

The return of Mr. Mngee to Alabama has
again aroused the apprehensions of the

ocratic Campaign Committee. It recites
tho desperate condition to which faction
has brought the Democratic party, aud
urges that the continued unity of the white
people is necessary, not only to good govern
ment, but to Christianity itself. This sad
condition of affairs Is charged up to tho
teachers of false doctrine and to tho errors
of Democratic 'party leadors. Many of the
people have broken away from the party,
and now, says Chairman Shelley, "we And
It impossible to reach them at all. They
won'tliston to our speakers and when they
do they won't believe a word of what tlu-y
say." In this strait, the Chairman says ho
has no roconrso except to the ministers of
the gospel, who still maintain an influence
with the people. Ho appreciates tho deli
cacy of asking tho preachers to do what is
considered inconsistent with their calling,
for which ho has a profound reverence, hut
this is 11 time when the so scruples must bo
laid aside, as Christianity itself ns well as
Democracy is at stake The letter has created

The conservatively Republican Philadel
phia PuWic Ledg.r sums up tho political sit
uation thus: "Four weeks prior to the
Prosidcntal election tho oldest, most expe
rienced and most astute political managers
declino to play tho rolo of prophet. The
uncertainty with lospact to the lesuleof
tho determining contest at tho rolls is as
great to-day as it was on oither of the days
upon which Mr. Harrison or Mr. Cleveland
was nominated, and it is likely to continue
so until the returns shall have come in from
Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, New
York; from Idaho, Kansas, Montana, North
Dakota, Wyoming and from Mlohigan. Tho
States of tho group flrst named have been
iuvariably classified since the end of
tho war as doubtful, and they ate
properly so classified in tho present campaign-
The Republicans have added to their
number West Virginia, and with some show
of reason. The States of the second group
are those in which the Democrats havo
effected a fusion with tho People's party
with tho purpose of providing the second
string for their bow. That is to say, they
have planned a dotiblo chanco ot success;
first, by carrying the doubtful States; sec
ond; by throwing the election into the Houso
of Representatives, which tlioy dominate by
1111 irresistible majority. Tho fusion States,
with their 41 votes, must bo considered us
important inctois. If tlioy were not a part
of it, but nil assured for Harrison and Reiii,
the chances of Republican success would be
much better than those of the Demoerars.
As it is, all things being taken into account,
tho chances aro so evenly balanced, tho 'ifa'
on either side are so many anci pertinent,
ns to render it impossible for Republicans
or Democrats to predict victory upon any
satisfactory grounds. Nothlnsr but the re
turns will remove the uncertainty of the
result of the campaign which lu less thau a
month will bo decided."
Senator Roger Q. Mills, of Texas,
has recovered Irom his illness, and will re
enter tho. campaign with 11 speech at Rock

whelmingly successful.

OCTOBER 13,- 1892i
A PITTSBURG SDDCRB.
Why Allegheny City, Across the raver, Is
Heady to Accept Annexation.
Under" the above caption a Pittsburg
special to tho New York Sui of yesterday
reads: "The i-chenie to increase the popula
tion of Tittsburg by taking ill tho surround
ing country, after the Chicago fashion,
noticed in the Sun of a recont aato, has some
interesting features. In every other scheme
for consolidation by a great city of adjoining
cities and villages opposition' has been mani
fested by the politicians of the smaller
places, who fear that their influence will bo
lessened. The gun lias repeatedly shown
that the people of Brooklvn are anxious to
, havo their city consolidated in the Greater
New lorlc, but legislation looking to such a
result hns been balked by the Brooklyn poli
ticians, who seem 10 fear that Tammany will
get the betterof them.
"In tho Pittsburg consolidation scheme,
'however, the opposition is very slight, and
that for a reason almost ludicrous. Right
across tho Allegheny river from Pittsburg
is Allegheny City, a large town in its own
right, with wealth in abundance. It is con
nected with Pittsburg by bridges. Is is
from its politicians, if from any source,
that opposition might bo expected. Alle
gheny is so much like B.ooklyu that except
for the difference in size and geographical
chaiacter one might be mistaken for the
other. The Allegheny people resemble the
Ilrooklynite?, too, in uianv respects.
Lively Pittsburg is to the "Alleghenlan
what Now York is to the Brooklynite. Ask
an Alleghenlan whero be lives and
he will promptlv replv, 'Pittsburg.'
They hudajokoon the Mayor or Allegheny
last summer when they discovered that he
had registered at a summer resort hotel as a
resident of Pittsburg. Yet ic is notorious
that nino Alleghenians out of ten do the
same, just as many a Brooklynite calls him
self a New Yorker, when away from home'.
Nine-tenths or the politicians and other
malo residents of Allegheny aro suppoe-j to
belong in Pittsburg by some ot their ac
quaintances, and all who can afford them
havo prlvato letter boxes in tho Pittsburg
postofllce. Thus little opposition to the cim
Kcilidution scheme is ieared from the resi
dentpoliticians or others of Allegheny
City."
THE KID A VERY .BAD 1HDIAIT.
Wild Arizona Indians Don't Understand tbo
Land Laws of tho 'Whites.
WAsniKOTox, Oct. 12. The annual report
of Brigadier General McCook, commanding
tho Department of Arizona, has been re
ceived by tho War Department. General
McCook dwells at length In bis report upon
thu Indian depredations in his department,
nnd particularly on tho conduce of "The
Kid," a San Carlos Apache Indian and a
refugee lrom the civil authorities. His
escapades, tho General says, have caused
much anxiety to white people living near
the border of tho White Mountain Reserva
tion, as well as to the Indians who livenpon
ft. This Indian killed many persons during
May nnd June, but several scouting expedi
tions sent out to capture him, and every
plan and device to entrap this wily savage,
lailetl. Tho conditions surrouniiimr the
Navnjo Indian Reservation, tho report savs,
are a constant source or anxiety to the In
dian Bureau, tho army ami thecivil authori
ties of Arizona and Now Mexico.
There are 9.00J Indians living beyond tho
limits of the reservation. They have been
living on tho nnserviced lands forgencr.i
lioi'.s and claim these locations ns their
homes. They know nothing of tho land
laws, nnd it is hard to make them under
stand that they aro trespassing outside of
tho reservation. In. addition, savs General
McCoolc, they claim that the peop'o were in
full possession or theso lands before any
white men were in tho country, and that
they should have the same rights in the nn
Burvoyed public lands as the white men.
The white men deny thU, claiming that the
unsurveyed lands are for their use only, and
the Indian, having Iurze tracts of land set
nslilo for occupation, should be driven back
upon them and compelled to stay there.
General McCoolcuiggests that In order to
assist this people, tho reservation be divided
into districts and any army officer sent into
each or these districts to make examinations
with a view to establishing a systom ot irri
gation and developing a supply of water by
artesian wells, etc.

It seemed as if the Middle Ages had been
brought in the nineteenth century at St.
Tames' R. a Church, Wilkinsburg, l.isteven-.
ing. Tho large schoolroom under the
ehurch had been decorated with tasteful
draperies and flags by tho Indies of the con
gregation, and on the stage wore to be seen
kings, knights, pages nnd courtly ladles, all
in appropriate conumes, to illustrate certain
events that took piaco several centuries
ago. These were tho tableaux vivnnts ar
ranged in connection with tho lea party
given under the auspices of the ladies for
the benefit of the church. It was the flrxt
tea party St. James' has had, bnt lc was so
very successful that thero is nndonbt that

a number or taldcs In tho snpper

say wuich looked tho most appetizing and
urtiitic Tho snowy cloths, the brighc
silver, the cakes, the inviting ham ami otuer
meats, and nbnvo all tho delicate aroma of
frosbly made coffee made the room a place
in which it was pleasant to spend an hour.
All tho viands were of tho very best, and
they wero nerved in a quiet, unostentatious
way -that was refreshing in itself. Tiie
tableaux were as follows: "Lnndlns ot Co
lumbus," "Queen Mabnnd Her Fairy Court,"
'Country and City Love," "King Cophetna
nnd tho Bcgirar Main," "Temptation," "Be
tween Two Fires," "Interrupted Courtship."
"Nino Choirs of Ancel-," "Rest lor
