A Veto to the Point.
Governor Hastings' message accom
panying his veto of the bill Increasing
. the yearly pay of the sheriff's deputies
' 'In Philadelphia from $1,000 to $2,500
.-, 'apiece presents nrguments from which
there Is no appeal. It points out that
,thls bill placed no limit to tho num
ber of deputies who might under Its
; 'provisions lie put on the salary Hat, and
It contends that If deputies now take
unauthorized fees they would not be re
stralne'd from doing so In tho future by
an increase In salary. The governor's
r tfcmarKs" concerning the need of re
;C trendhment In public expenses will re-S-
cefve enthusiastic erido'fsement and the
l whole tenor of his communication to
the legislature is most salutary.
It Is high time that such raids as
these on the public purse were sum
marily halted. Tho power of veto was
conferred -for Just such uses; and as
long as the governor shall use his pres
ent nice discrimination In spotting the
bad bills which come before him, how
ever the Immediate sufferers from his
negative messages may squirm, the
Keneral public wilt view his conduct of
the gubernatorial ofrice with steadily
Increasing satisfaction.
All the Indications point lo a veto of
the Andrews "Lexow" bill of expenses.
Such a consummation could be en
dured with equanimity by the great
majority of Pennsylvanlans.
riie Rule of the Road.
Within a week after the rutins by
Judge Wlllson of Philadelphia that a
bicycle rider should yield tho right of
way to a heavy vehicle another Phila
delphia lurlst, Judge McMlchael, In an
exhaustive opinion, takes seemingly the
opposite view. Wheelmen, holds thla
latter Interpreter of the law, have no
greater right upon the streets but they
have an equal right with the pedestri
an, the equestrian and the driver of
vehicles.
"As to tho rules of the road," Judge
McMlch'ael continues, "the primary rule
Is to keep to the right, and the phrase
'Keep to the right, as the law directs,'
hns long since passed Into a proverb.
When you meet a. vehicle coming in an
opposite direction, you go to the right
of It. In passing a vehicle from behind
tho rule is to pass to the left. These
are simple rules, which, if observed,
s.ivo people from accident. I am of
opinion that these rules are equally en
forolbte as to pedestrians, horsemen,
drivers or bicycle riders, and that,
though the circumstances must deter
mine each case, the rights of the bicy
cle rider are the same as those of tho
driver of a wagon, whether It be light
or heavy; that there Is no law for
a driver of a wagon which' is not equal
ly applicable to the rider of a bicycle.
And the law, or the rule, varied, of
course, by the exigencies of the particu
lar case, Is that the man to the right
has the right of way. I regard this as
a general rule of common sense, and
the custom of the common law."
. The curious thing about these two de
cisions Is that they are contradictory
only In appearance. In tho opinion of
Judge Wlllson It was held that under
certain circumstances a wheelman
ought to turn aside for a vehicle less
manageable. This Is itommon courtesy
as well as common sense. He held also
that when a wheelman persists In rid
ing straight ahead, regardless of wag
ons corning toward him, and gets hurt
In consequence, he has no claim for
damages. This again was an ob lously
proper conclusion. Judge McMlchael,
on the other hand, comes to the rescue
of wheelmen by protecting them
against drivers who might otherwise
run into them from sheer obstinacy.
This, too, Is fair. Each user of tho
highways has rights which every other
user of th'em should be forced to respect;
but in a general way there Is more dan
ger today from unfairness by cyclists
than there is from unfairness practiced
by drivers or pedestrians at the cy
clists' expense.
It is stated toy the Railroad Gazette
that since the disruption of the steel
rallxpool orders have been placed for
829.355ton of rails, It is difficult to
reconcile this assertion with the pas
sive condition of many of tho mJJUs,
but va trust that it is true.
' Charges Which Alust'Be 3.
Into the Inner history back of Judge
James Gay Gordon's unsparing attack
upon the recent and present manage
ment of tho Eastern penitentiary we
have no Insight. It is safe to assume
that there are numerous contributory
causes for the remarkable arraignment
of this management made and reiter
ated by him, and perhaps a knowledgo
ot them Is essential to a correct Judg
ment' of hla t-ccusatlons. But bo this
as It may, upon (he main point It Is
clear that something more than a per
functory and guarded Inquiry by a
legislative committee, lnslantly respon-
b1v-j to political Influences Is now nec
essary. Thellst of offenses of which the man
agement of this publlo Institution
stands accused Includes not simply neg
ligent and crUelty but deliberate ly
ing, perjury and murder as well. He;6 1
Is a sufficient ljreadth of arfalgnaent
to warrant an Investigation whlci will
atop nowhere nhort of a revelation of
the entire truth. It Is Impossible to lg
nore tho matter or to permit it to be
settled by an Inconcluslvo report by
a careless or hurried committee. Em
inent as aro the men arraigned, th
I man who arrnlgni them Is easily their
peer. A Judoe on one of the mot Im
portant benches of tho commonwealth
has brought these charges and they
muit be sifted to the uttermost limit.
The committee before which testi
mony has lately been taken relative to
the management of tho Eastern peni
tentiary Is a general committee with a
roving commission to Inquire Into the
broad subject of the state's care of the
Insane. It seemii to us that such a
tribunal Is hardly the place before
which to try officials accused of per
jury and murder. Judge Gordon will
doubtless nt the proper time be pre
pared to take steps to secure a trial of
his sensational accusations In a place
where there will be ample facility for
the thorough and unsparing applica
tion of the Judicial probe.
The Philadelphia Itccord rounds out
the twentieth year of Its publication
In the enjoyment of a larger circula
tion and a more generous business pa
tronago than ever before. The Hocord
Is a most carefully conducted Journal
In every department, and the success
Which has como to Its distinguished
proprietor and directing head, Mr.
Slngerly, 'through Its publication, has
been richly deserved.
An Equitable Tost.
An explanation has at lat been
vouchsafed of the curious attitude of
the Democratic and Populist elements
In the senate membership toward the
pending tariff bill. These old-time op
ponents of protection have not bsen
suddenly divorced from their free trad
Idols, by uny means. Neither Is their
unexpected abstention from desperate
resistance to the Dlngloy bill the
prompting of an unselfish patriotism
which, taking note of the suffering of
the country, Is moved by a paramount
senso of duty'to desist fromimere par
tisanship In order to spettl the tender
of legislative relief. The real milk In
the cocoanut is thus Indicated in the
Washington Star:
"According to their view of the situ
ation the test Is to be made before the
country as to whether tariff legislation
will relieve the business depression or
whether It will fall and free silver will
Wave to be tried. So confident are they
In their own theories that Che tariff ha
nothing to do with the case that they
are anxious that the test should not
lie embarrassed by any outside consid
eration, and that should better times
fall to come It could not be offered as
an excuse that the tariff legislation
was obstructed or interfered with."
We fancy that Republicans as a rule
will welcome such a test. It is, of
course, hardly to be expected that even
a first-class tariff bill, with plenty of
revenue and also plenty of protection,
will achieve the impossible by trans
forming unprecedented depression Into
miraculous prosperity within a day
and a night. If the silver men intend
to try to misrepresent the conservative
Republican prediction on this subject
they will have to be met. No Republi
can expects an Immediate and breath
taking boom to follow the enactment
of the legislation to which his party
Is pledged. It will be no argument for
silver to charge us tvlth falling to do
what we never agreed to do and what
nobody outside of a lunatic asylum
hud any license to expect us to do.
Hut so far as a healthy lnvigoratlon
of business Is concerned, beginning with
tho signing of a fairly satisfactory new
tariff law, and gaining steadily as other
Republican policies unfold, if this shall
rot be witnessed during the present
administration, Republicans, we sus
pect, will be free to confess to an utter
ly Inexplicable disappointment coupled
with a willingness to yield the floor to
other experimenters in, the art of gov
ernment. Tho gambling hell at Monte Carlo
last year cleared $4,000,000. This Is
probably as much as the annual cash
collection In the average church.
Repugnant.
With reference to the suggestion
that stamp duties be reimposed in this
country as a means of providing rev
enue, the Chicago Times-Herald esti
mates that a tax of 2 cents on bank
or commercial paper the tax which is
contemplated by the present advocates
of this methwl of collecting federal in
comewould yield In the neighborhood
of $18,000,000. This is'upon the assump
tion that American bank clearings are
$15,000,000,000 a year with checks aver
aging $50 apiece. The guess may not
be strictly accurate but it will serve to
bring out our contemporary's point.
"There is," says tho Chicago paper,
"a grave doubt whether the proposed
tax would be wise. The United States
prefers to levy the bulk of Its taxa
tion Indirectly, and this Is one of the
causes of the popularity of the tariff
as a means of revenue. It must also
be remembered that at present checks
form a large proportion of the circu
lating medium of the country, and a
tax upon them, however small, would
have the' effect of lessening their em
ployment in small transactions. This
would In effect limit tho circulating
medium, and few economists would
urge anything that would tend to have
such a result."
There are not locking economists, or
1 rather alleged economists. Irt creat
number who are willing to propose any
plan for raising revenue which alms
a blow at protection to American In
dustries or offers a pretext for open
ing American markets gratuitously to
foreign producers. We can imagine no
other origin for this stamp tax propo
sition in a time of peace. The sugges
tion is absolutely repugnant to the
underlying idea of American taxation.
Until the Indirect processes break
down utterly, they must form the chief
bulwarks of our revenue system, leav
ing direct taxation to be employed only
In cases of grave emergency or In lim
ited degree as supplemental to the oth
er revenues. Tho stamp tax Is odious
for tho slap which It gives to the es
tablished ability of the United States
to pay Its Way without resort to un
usual expedients In direct taxation.

THE FUTURE0F STEEL.
Prom tho Philadelphia Record,
Tho day Is not far distant when "pud
dled Iron" will become a rarity. Samples
will ba preserved In tho cabinets of teach
nologtcal Institutions, Just as tha speci
mens of copper and Iron Implements tak
en from tho Egyptian tombs or from tho
ruins of Pompeii are carefully preserved
today. II-fore the general Introduction
of thu cheap Bessemer process ol making
steel by blowing air through a great
caldron full of molten pig iron vast
sums of money were sunk in efforts to
make mechanical nppllances do the work
of the human puddler, who, If highly
skilled, earned enormous wages, and
was also a constant sourco of labor dis
turbances. Nono of lhee efforts was
practically successful, nnd the brawny
puddler conslderd his trade unassailable.
The success of the Bessemer process hns
been ro great, however, that most people
suppose Us position In the metallurgical
arts. to be nbsolutcly unarsalUible.-
But this is far from being true. Slow
ly but surely tho Bessemer method Is be
ing undermined by ntwer and better sys
tems. Tho most formidable competitor
of the Bessemer process is the open
hearth process; nnd some farseelng metal
lurglsts uro now beginning to predict that
the latter method is destine to supplunt
the former, Just as tho Bessemer sup
planted tho puddler, owing to tho superi
ority of tho product. It Is a curloiM fact
not generally known that a piece of steel
made by the open hearth process, having
tho same percentage of carbon and other
constituents as a piece of steel made by
the Bessemer process, will weigh several
pounds more per cubic foot; and this
means, of course, a denser metal ot moro
uniform structure, and therefore of great,
er endurance under ordinary wear or un
der sudden shock.
Tho so-called basic process Is another
development In the art of steel making
which Is principally valuable from the
fact that it enormously extends the range
of iron ores which are applicable to the
purpose of making steel. We have seen
within a few years past an entirely new
field or :ho use of Iron or steel In the
construction of the frame work of tall
buildings. Other uses aro sure to be
found for steel now that Its cost has
reached so low a figure. For example, It
Is probable that the demand fo'r good
roads will lead to tho adoption of a broad,
flat steel rail plate, to bo laid flush with
tho surface of tho road for wheel tracks
on roads where heavy hauling Is fre
quently done. This would double the haul
ing capacity of a team of horses an com
pared with tho average (except on tvell
kept macadamized roads or turnpikes),
and tho reduction In cost of maintenance
would in a few years pay tho entlro ori
ginal outlay. Experiments havo proved
tho merits .of this scheme, and the fear
of tho rusting away of the plates when
exposed to the weather appears to have
been greatly exaggerated.
Wo do not share In tho belief that the
capacity for tho production of steel has
far outstripped tho world's demand for it;
but we bcllevo that new applications .will
continue to bo found, and that the pro
duction of steel will Increase In propor
tion to the decrease In Its cost.
LOOK TO EC0N0A1Y.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
Beyond the attitude assumed by Govor
onr Hastings thero has been but little In
dication in any department of tho gov
ernment at Harrlsburg during the present
session of the legislature, of the purpose
to enforce tho severe economy that 13
clearly dictated by the straitened condi
tion of tho finances of tho state. Exhaus
tlve efforts aro given to Invent new
sources of revenue, but little effort is
made to bring the administration of the
government within the legitimate rev
enues. This absenco of effort In tho lino
of economy has not been gratifying to
tho taxpayers of the state.
Even with tho severest economy In mak
ing tho needed appropriations, thero must
be additional rovenuo provided to meet
the publto expenditures, but the effort to
economize In every department where
economy Is at all practicable, should go
hand In hand with the effort to Increase
tho revenues ot the commonwealth. Tho
people aro In no condition to excuse ex
travaganco or to submit to Increased
taxation, and the legislature would only
bo Just to Itself If It most distinctly re
flected the undoubted sentiment of tho
entire peoplo of tho stato In favor of tho
severst economy, and tho avoidance of
a single dollar of unneeded taxation upon
our Industries,
Industry, commerco and trade are all
greatly depressed, and thlsdepresslon has
continued now for nearly' four years..
Stringency In business circles has not
only continued for that period, but It has
steadily increased until today, and the
economy that is enforced In private busi
ness affairs and In every channel of pri
vate life should be equally enforced in
tho administration of tho government.
The people will gladly approve the study
of resolute economy to tho utmost extent
consistent with tho duty of the state to
tho charities which aro largely dependent
upon Its bounties, and the legislature
could not In any way more surely com
mand publlo respect than by first study
ing tho utmost measure of economy that
can bo enforced, and then providing the
revenues to meet tho absolutely necessary
expenditures.

OUR RBADINGSS FOR DEFENCE.
From the Now York Sun.
Wo see no reason for supposing that
war with Spain will result from anything
now proposed In congress. Certainly the
recognition of Cuban belligerency would
not be a casus belli, under International
law; and nobody thought of so constru
ing the various recognitions of Confed
erate belligerency by Kuropeau powers,
although the Confederate cause did not
finally succeed, So, again, the proposal to
treat, with Spain for the tecognltlon of the
Independence of Cuba Is not now a cause
of war. Wo made a similar proposal to
her moro than a quarter of a century ago,
naming a very large sum as tho consid
eration for Spain's withdrawal from tho
Island. Such a bargain was supposed to
bo beneficial on all sides.
But, so far as preparation for war Is
concerned, we are certainly better pie
pared now than we have been for many
years. At halt a dozen leading ports
there Is at least tho nucleus of defence,
and, thanks to the liberal appropriations
of the last congress, omplacements are
going up at various points all along the
coast, while scores of heavy guns havo
been built. While much remains to be
done, the difference between our coast
protection now and ten years, five years,
and even two years ago, Is enormous; and,
so far as Spain Is concerned, this matter
need not gjvo us the least concern. Wo
have floating defenses as well as tlxed
forts on which our leading harbors can
count, and tho system of submarine mined

THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT.
From tho Buffalo Nows,
Preparations are steadily going forward
for the thirty-first National Encampment
of tho Grand Army of the Republic,
which will be held In Buffalo from Aug.
23 to 23. About 30,000 veterans have ben
assigned to quarters, committees of la
dles having been at work for some tlmo
securing locations for members In private
houses, boarding houses and whorovcr
else comfortablo quarters may bo had.
The response has been voty gratifying
and the locat headquarters at Elllcott
Square has been put at i,est concerning
tho ability of Buffalo to accommodato in
a becoming manner the army of lOu.OUO
voterans which General Clarkson, commander-in-chief
of tho Grand Army of
tho Republic, estimates will attend tho
encampment, and tho 330,000 people who
will come In as visitors nnd gusts of the
city on tho day of the grand parade,
Wednesday, Aug. 25. On that day at
least 75,000 pcoplo will march in the pa
rade. These figures are based on tho
number of people tOO.OOO which attended
tho Washington encampment In 1892. The
preparations this year and the Interest
taken In the Republican administration
at Washington, which marks the return
of th Republicans to power In the na
tlcn, maku tho above cstlmato fair and
reasonable. In view of tho encouraging-
prospectB for n very large attendance,
therefore, every school house within
threo and one-halt miles of headquarters
havo been allotted, and arrangements
havo been mado with the hotels to take
caro ot 3,000 veterans, and private fami
lies and boarding houses will take caro of
tho balance.
o
The arrangements for reunions during
tho encampment, the reception of Presi
dent McKlnley, Secretary of War Algor,
Governor Black and the governors of
other states, who have been Invited to be
present, as well as military dignitaries
of the regular army and volunteer forces
of tho country, the presence of naval
veterans, ex-prisoners ot war and the
negro veterans, will mako the doings of
great Interest on each day of the encamp
ment, Tho naval veterans will be enter
tained on two lake steamers, loaned by
the Western Transit company for that
purpose. Both steamers will He at the
foot of Erie street, where tho public can
vlefv tho "Jolly Jack Tars" "at homo" In
their river and lake palaces. Another In
teresting feature of tho encampment will
be a chorus of 2,500 school chlldron, gath
crcd on an Inclined stand, erected on one
of tho big, open squares of the city. The
children will be grouped In tho design of a
shield of red, whtto and blue. The sing
ing of these children will be a pleasing
feature of the occasion, as they will be
well trained, tho drilling for which Is now
going forward and will bo kept up until
tho time of their public appearance.
c
Oamp Jewctt, which will be pitched at
The Front, will have accommodations for
from 8,000 to 10,000 veterans. It Is a de
lightful spot near the slto of the historic
Fort Porter. It now forms a part of the
beautiful park system of the city, and Its
view of the river nnd lake, the Canadian
shore and Port Erie In the distance, ren
ders It altogether an appropriate and a
charming place for a military encamp
ment. II Ml OHJfiCT.
Washington Letter In the Sun.
There was one visitor at the white house
jcatcrday who succeeded In. seeing the
president without any one to introduce
her. Sho was a very protty girl, stylish
ly dressed, and as sho came tripping -up
the stairs everybody in the corridor out
sldo the president's door made way for
her. Sho handed a dainty card to the
doorkeeper, and before ho had time to tell
her whether he could take It to tho pres

the order came out to let In everybody

asked what he could do for her. With an
arch smile the daTk-cycd beauty looking
