Four hundred years aj:o to-day Christo pher Columbus, the bold Genoese mari ner and first immigrant to our 'western shore5, was sailing around among the, newly-discovered Bahama Islands, think ing himself arrived near the mainland of India. He wss a far-seeing man, with, a goodly spice of the worldly temperament in him, and had taken care to contract with the King of Spain, who furnished the ships" and outfit, for handsome rewards for his service. He was, both himself and his heirs male forever, to have the govern ment of all the lands he should discover; one-tenth of the net value of all the pre cious stones and metals and merchandise within his jurisdiction; and he might, at any time, advance one-eighth in any ven ture and receive a corresponding share of the profits. The Eng of Spain was, however, above contracts when it suited aim, and Colum bus, some twelve years later, died a poor, broken-down man. If his spirit, and those of his royal partnersvin his venture, are permitted to look down this week upon the monster celebrations of the event of 1492, how extraordinarily near-sighted must seem to them human conception four hundred years ago as to the material progress of the race! It is a marvelous development, this of the four centuries past With great diffi culty the King of Spain was then induced to stake a beggarly expenditure of 17,000 florins against the possibilities of the sup posed land in the West. Not until the more enterprising Queen offered to pledge her Jewels did her royal consort take heart to order the voyage. Now it is the American continent which represents the greatest resources of the earth; here science has wrought its greatest achievements; here man has made his most successful and promising experiment in government; and here all the arts are sure to ultimately reach their highest per fection. There is not much more of this old earth to discover. Never again will an explorer of this planet reach the fame ot Columbus. There is the Dark Continent of Africa to be civilized, but its outlines and features are known. No sup posable land still lies out of the path of the navigators. It is to the starry firmament the eye must turn in these days to be fired by the divine inspi ration of discovery. The men at the 'big telescopes, and great in mathematics, whose knowledge conquers distance and lays bare the mysteries of the heavens, are those whose fame is in the future to' rank' with that of the Genoese sailor. These astronomers arc relatively better equipped for their wore than he was for his; and it would be a more ignorant and unworthy skepticism than assailed Columbus to as sume that, long before another four hun dred j cars shall have gone, the charts of the planets of our solar system will not be as well understood as is to-day the chart of the North Atlantic ocean, which in the time of Columbus excited only ter ror and superstition. The enterprising Columbus has com pelled the scientist to seek other 'worlds to conquer. Pretty much everything knowable is now understood about the resources of this old earth of ours; and the single question be fore man in relation to it to-day is how to inhabit it so as to bring the race to the worthiest state. In that vital particu lar there is made room for discovery yet. But cvtryone can take heart from the certain fact that, slow though evolution be, all the forces of creation are working together for the best and toward ultimate harmony. The pioneers like Columbus are tremendous agencies for advancing by many centuries the betterment of the race by their intellectual conceptions and per sistent devotion to their purposes. It is in that sense the celebrations of this month, while on an immense scale, by no means transcend their subject THE ROUTE FOB RELIEF. Mr. Bailey's paper on the freight ques tion and the suffering of Pittsburg ship pers, recently read at the Chamber of Commerce, brings up a question which has been perennial for nearly 20 years. At times it has, as Mr. Bailey notes, been mitigated by the construction of compet ing lines, and then been brought again into vitality by the combination policy which permits all the lines to make rates for each other. Mr. Bailey's paper Indi cates that the need for relief is as press ing now as ever. The rather caustic description of the Pittsburg shipper is of interest as pointing the way to relief. He "is a long-suffering animal," but when "his dormant energies are aroused he is resistless." This points to the conclusion that when Pittsburg has suffered long enough it will take complete measures to remove the trouble. Mr. Bailey's paper contains an intimation that this will take the form of building another railway line. But, with the lesson of experience that such a line must sooner or later fill under the sway of one or another of the members of the trunk line pool, we think that Pittsburg when she gets waked up to her future work will demand a more thorough and .permanent remedy. That remedy presents itself In giving the city a comprehensive system of water transportation. The Ohio Kiver and Lake Urie Canal, once built, can never be ab sorbed by trunk line combinations. It will contain the surest cure for freight discriminations by permitting anyone who is dissatisfied to start a transportation line of Tils own. With that route open and the pending river Improvements com pleted Pittsburg can for nine months of the year reach nearly every point from New Orleans to Dtiluth by. water, and the rule of the railroads will be ended, There is enough money in Western Pennsylvania to buildjtbls water way. It would save its cost to Western Pennsyl vania in two years. When Pittsburg .Is thoroughly aroused, asMr. Bailey de scribes, it will take such a leadership in this project as will secure its ultimate constmction. CHILDREN'S PAT. Yesterday marked the opening of Pitts burg's Columbian ce.lebration. -, Buildints looked unfamiliar in brlght-hued draper ies, and even the erstwhito ungainly ves sels of commerce almost became things of beauty for the nonce as they .steamed up the Monongahela river. But the feature of the day was the highly successful dis play of enthusiasm made by the children of Pittsburg's schools. The opportunity for inculcating a national .spirit and em phasizing the glories of 'patriotism was well made use of. Addresses upon the discovery and history of the country, and flag raisings by the children in company with veterans, are well calculated to in still into the youthful mind a pride in and love of 'America, which should bear fruit in later-acts of good citizenship. The tree-planting in Schenley Park was a happy thought, since it established a permanent monument to keep green the memory of the occasion. And the plant ing of trees in public places is a benefit to the municipality which grows greater as it grows older, and the act indicates in this case the close connection between municipal and national duties. The man who is a good American citizen must real ize that he can best serve his country in doing, his duty by the community which immediately surrounds him. . Any cere mony which cultivates a willingness to count the greatest good of the greatest number as of more pressing "Importance than the personal aggrandizement of num ber one is an excellent thing in thesedays of concentrated selfishness. Occasions for impressing these ideas upon the rising generation cannot, be made too'frequent or too dearly prized. A TYTE OF THE OLD SCHOOL. The removal by death of old and hon ored citizens, whose names and labors have long been associated with our city, is a matter for sad reflection, which is but little mitigated even by the knowledge of the Inexorable law of nature. Coming quick upon the death of one' well-known merchant of Pittsburg, Mr. Arbuthnot, is now the announcement of the death of anoth?r whose name had become a house hold word Joseph Home. Mr. Horne for almost half a century had been con spicuously identified with the growth and commercial history of this place. His early life at the old town of Bedford was a specimen of the energy and ambition of what mighfbe termed the "country boys" of Pennsylvania, who made the most of their opportunities, and afterwards came to the large cities to take front rank in manufactures and .commerce. The old towns of. Pennsylvania, even If small in population and territorial limits, contributed largely to the brains" that afterwards brought Pittsburg and Philadelphia to the front of the mercantile procession. The qualities of patience, perseverance, religious integrity and care ful procedure which were acquired under the healthful restraints of country life, and amidst the sturdy stock of early set tlers, can be credited with the greatest number and most notable 'cases qt per sonal success In the business ot our mod ern cities. Mr. Home was interesting as a fine type of the class of business leaders above de scribed. Success in these later days is won more quickly than in the older time. Our cities have grown so great, and the power of capital can be brought into service so quickly, that progress is much more rapid for the fortunate than in the older and slower school. But it is that old school of merchants, nevertheless, -which was most interesting in a personal way. The same qualities which built up their business usually made them personages of figure, weight and influence in the com munity. Their judgment and conserva tism made their counsel and opinions standards of judgments in the circles in which they moved. Mr. Horne was in all respects a worthy and excellent citizen, as well as one of the most notable of the merchants Of Pittsburg. To all but more particularly to the older generation-there is' an especial sadness in the passing away of the men who may be termed the pioneers of Pittsburg's commercial history. Even as the leaves which have lingered long, one by one they fall in these deepening autumn days. THE WEEK'S TRADE. ' The trade of this week practically ended last night, as to-day and to-morrow will he mainly given np to holiday-making festiv ities. Notwithstanding the interruption to business caused by the Columbus cele brations, the review of the week discloses a most satisfactory state of affairs for 'the present, and a bright outlook for the future. , " r The volume of trade in home industries is peculiarly ."noticeable. And the great decline in exports for September, as com pared with the samemonth last year, is easily accounted 'for by the absence of the peculiar circumstances which caused the unprecedented and abnormal outgoing traffic t el ve months. ago. Even the trade reports bring confutations to the argu ments of the calamity howlers, and the heaithy condition of affairs indicates that the country has no inclination to substi tute a dangerous policy for one the bene fits of which are so conspicuous. "e A strong movement is afoot to past through Congress a bill which shall remove the inequities and'lnconvenlences which re sult in diversity of bankruptcy laws under various State Governments. One of 'the strongest arguments in favor or such a measure Is the advantage -which the com mercial world would derive therefrom by the Increase of public confidence in credit transactions. That abstract and indefina ble quantity, known as confidence, la the most ossential ractor in prodnclng the pros perity of a countrj 's trade. Nothing could--be more fatal to publio confidence than the I etnrn to the disastrous policy of permitting the issue of an unstable currency only coti-. troueu oy me acts or lorty-tour different and distinctive State Legislatures, a advo cated by the Democratic platform. Every argument in favor of a uniformity of bank ruptcy law is applicable with an intensified force on behalr of the necessity lor the "re tention of a sound national currency. .

' THAT partition of Africa is not being carried out quite so cheaply as it might be. Germany is sending a thousand more sol diers to establish its "colonists," France 4s busily engaged with the Dahomeyam Am TiJB PITTSBITKG azons, and altogether the natives of Africa are not inclined to weloome all the blessings of civilization with the peaceful enthusiasm thafwpuld be so highly appropriate, and so mucaftnore.. convenient. for the European powers.

And 'between the .two, the danger of a Democratic shlpwreok Is de cidedly Imminent. ' 1V No political enthusiasm at all is fir bet ter than fanatiolsm of the 'ltt, which re siills,",in snooting affrays, egg-throwing, stoning, or attempted train wrecking. Perhaps Mr. Adlal Stevenson's delayed letter of acceptance will contain the Demo cratic substitato for the McKlnley bill. But it Is Hardly likely, as the party of negation finds itmmcli "more easy to nnite in trying' to pull down (be policies of others than to irame anything dofinlte of that 'kind 'for itself. The-amount of danger in the Chicago platform Is only surpassed by the vague elasticity in tne interpretations thereof by individual Democratic leaders. Sentimentalists regard lawlessness and plcturesqueuess as synonymous terms in some'" classes of dangerous criminality, bach plcturesquencss is of :l kind that calls lor a disregard of issthoticlsm in Its prompt and-rigorous extinction. Parades ,that persist in marching on right hand tracks, 'especially where the grade Is steep, do so at a grave risk and in spite of all warning. President Harrison's thirty-ninth wedding anniversary yesterday must have been -lull of a sadness which even the knowledge that he has a nation's sympathy in his time of trouble could do but little to mitigate. At, eclipse of the sun is easily observable hereabouts. A smoked atmosphere almost obviates the use of smoked glasses. It is evident, that a large amount of the enthusiasm which has so stubbornly per sisted In remaining latent in the political campaign is finding an outlet in the glorifi cation of Columbus and America. Chicago's unwholesome milk -and im pure water leave no place for the Prohibi tionist in the Windy City. NOTwTTHSTANpnro the present concen tration of attention on Columbus, it is to be expected that George Washington will be re membered as enthusiastically as usual on bis neit birthday.

There it every indication that the man agers of this national canvass are conduct ing it upon an- eminently 'practical basis. The forces are beiugconcentrated on the points where thev are most needed, nnd comparatively little' attention, is being paid to sure localities. It is not a matter of moment to the Democratic leaders,, for in stance, whether. Cleveland's majority it 300,000 or 20O,OO0.in Texas, so long at negets tbo electoral votes "of that unwieldy com monwealth. The. Bepublicans, on the other ,hand, , are, hardly devoting as much attention - at naunl to such States as Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the electoral ticket is safe nnd. big majorities are ''expected as a matter of course. Little money is being expended tor red fire where it Is needed t0 perfect the organization and got out the vpte. The bet ting end of the campaign, too, is even more apathetic than most or the other features. Four years ago leading'polltlcians, and even national .committees, regarded the placing of enormous agers as, something necessary to sustain party enthusiasm and confidence. The few transactions of the kind so far this year liavo been between individuals,-and the amounts, comparatively small. There has also been a disposition to make betting propositions on the issue in. separate States instead of on the goneral result. This baa been explained us ' due tn a fear In- some quarters that -the election mk-ht be thrown into the House, which might complicate matters and tie up the stakes indefinitely. This feeling would in dicate that the gentlemen with . sporting ptocllvitlesareofa cautious and practical turn this year, as well as the campaign 'managers. j . . ' THE party which would put in its plat form n plank promising the elimination of the tin born as a campnttcn feature would be astdrod of a large number of enthusiastic converts. , - N . , Hhrat Halstead sees , greatly im proved prospects.forltepublIcan auccoss. In a If tter lust written ne says: "The Demo crats are no longer in their oool calculations claiming Illinois, Wisconsin or Iowa.

The Rhode 'Island election last spring proved Cleveland to have no special strength in New England. .The Bus sell business In Massachusetts, like thatof Pattlsou in Pennsylvania, 5ns a grotesp,u3 accident and an , impertinent eccentricity. It will not oecur again. Connecticut is ripe for a decidedly Bepublican State this fall, in spite of tho squirming of the Democrats to show that they are for protection of the "tobacco leaf.'' Bepublicans .. do not leel sure of New Jersey, but have a fair lighting chance. Bourke Cockran explained at Chicago Just how Hevr York would bo lost if Cleveland was nominated, though Tammany, should be loyally submissive, and thus 'far his statements, so dismally prophetic or his party, have been more thaniealized. He could not hnve'expected such revelations of the prosperity of the people under the protection and reciprocity policy, us all the statistics of the j ear, be ginning with those of Peck, demonstrate. Tho speech or Mr. Blaine at ODhtr Farm it convincing that tbo.whole force of tho Be publicans is in the field; and in hi calling attention tn the success of the Harrison administration under the supreme test or general prosperity calling the attention ot Sow Tort City to her enormous manu facturing" interests, and' roferrinif to the mystery of the American-Irish support of the Brltlsii policy, with which the Democ racy have identified themselves, and appeal ing to them to sustain a happier policy in this country than that of England toward Ireland. We 'have an illustration of the power or simplicity in words carrying masterful ideas, hs well as of the political ragacltv that ha been so remarkable in the career "of the statesman who has again served his country wltu an utterance wise and timely." Politics are about as warm as conld be expected In Colorado considering that out door mass meetings have to be held in heavy snowdrifts. ' According to .the Philadelphia Prtu, "tho contest of the Republican nominee for Congress in the Third district to establish bis rigjit to be Regarded as thd,regular,Dem ocratie candidate, also, it developing some very interesting facts concerning Demo cratic methods in this, town. Before he re ceived the Bepublican nomination Mr. Mc Aleer went through the form of seeking the Democratic nomination, knowing very well that he would not be allowed to have It under the Democratic rules. Tbo nomina tion of Captain Eer was clearly of the most fraudulent character. It made no difference what delegates were elected from the di visions to the ward conventions, the Chair men who were named for that pur pose by the, city organization conld and did accept as regnlar only such as they pleased. They made exceedingly clean work of it, but the fraud was thinly dis guised. If this contest shall result in a de cision that Captain Eer is not entitled to the regnlar. Democratic nomination after he bad received It in exact accot dance with the Democratic rules, as testified by both the Chairman and the Secretary of the Dem ocratic City Committee, It wbuld leave the regular .Democratic organization of thia -city in something of a box. It could never In the future rely nnon tho efficiency of its rules. Should the Republican candidate In the Third districtiaucceed in breaking up this Irnudulent system in the Democratic pal ty be will do the Bepublicans no service. The system has been a benefit to (he Bepub lican party because It has kept the esteemed enemy in a'perpetuat quarrel. On the other hand if Captain Ker Is not driven off the Democratic ticket he might be elected." The Grange organization ot Montgomery county has been questioning the candidates for the Legislature on the subject of tax equalization. Everyone of the Bepublican candidates bas declared himself in favor of doing whatever is possible to lighten the burdens of local taxation. Bepresentatlve Taggurt proposes to support the measure now being prepared by the tax conference. Probably the most original bet of the campaign was settled at national Demo cratic headquarters in New York the other day. While Chairman Harrityibefore the campaign' opened n as very well known in Pennsylvania, he had not been a familiar figure in Now York City. His figure, eyes and hair had been described In only a very general way.' -Pucfc artists have to do especially with these characteristics. On extraordinary occasions they will hunt up a man and size him up, hut more frequently they rely on photographs. A Mr. T. Gibson had been led to believe, that Mr. Harrlty's hair was' black. Of his 'asso ciate artists, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Dalrymple, Mr. Dalrymple believed that Mr. Hamty's hair was brown with an inclination fo tho auburn. Mr. Taylor was neutral. At last Mr. Gibson plumped a $100 bet at Mr. Dal rymple that Mr. Harrlty's, hair was black. All three have been at headquarters on several occasions, but Mr. Harrlty's absence has prevented the settlement of the bet. Finally they fodnd tbe Pennsylvania leader in.. The National Democratic Chairman in vited them all to come upstairs and see him. Ho gave them a cordial greeting and then tat in his revolving chair while the artists inspected his hair. "I've lost," said Gibson, aftor a moment's glance. Whereupon Mr. Taylorand Mr. Dalrymple grinned in pros pect or the hole they wonld -make In the $100 bill. Mr. Harrity enjoyed the situation hugely. He hoped all his visitors would vote the Democratic ticket. Mr. Dalrymple happens to be a Harrison man and one who has had experience in political dgbts. The St Louis 6UbfDemoerat, Eep., says: "Men and brethren ot the Bepublican party, let's warm up a little." "' .1 - , ' ' Congressman Dalzell has just spent ten days in the.

At al these places, Mr. Dalzell says, tbe audiences were large and enthusiastic, and every day the interest of the Bepublicans teemed to grow greater. He aaid that in his. opinion tbe Bepublicans of the Interior of lUsr York State would do their full duty 6 "election day, and that Harrison and -Beld would carry 'the State. ' Mr. -Dalzeil was compelled, to decline' the request of tne '.National Committee for fnrtner engagements 'In other-States, at 'lie had 'agreed -with' chair man Beoder to spend the balanoe of the campaign In Pennsylvania.

A TILLING CA2IVAS1 The Republican 'Candidate for Governor In Tennessee Called a Coming Man. Wabhikotoit, Oct. 20 tSotdcsi -Robert P.

A strong point he makes Is the exhibition of the old wild cat cunenoy, a large amount of which be Ims collected during his tour of the State.

He stands over six leet high, has a splendid head nnd face, full of vigor, and a manner that Is charming. I have not been so much impressed with a man in a long time as with Wlnsted.
