THE Pittsburgh Post came to us yes
terday in a beautiful new dress, looking
as bright and handsome as any of its
friends could desire. Under the l manage
ment of Messrs. BARE, Scuoynn, Leas
and Minas the representativel and able
champion paper of the Democracy for
this end of the State hai daily grown bet
ter and more prosperous.
IR SATURDAY'S GAZETTE we devoted
considerable space to the very important
subject of smoke consumption, and since
- then we have learned that a meritorious
Invention has been patented by skillful
Pittsburgh mechanic, and tlfo'ife who
have examined into its philosophy believe
it will fully accomplish the greatly de
sired object to be attained. Its inventor
is Mr. GEORGE STAMM, who is now en
gaged at the pattern shops of the Atlas
Winks in manufacturing furnaces for
steam and salt generating, as well as pud
dling furnaces. Inasmuch as the valued
Invention is secured by lettep patent, and
many are sanguine of its success, those
of our manufacturers interested in the
• matter should call and examine into its
claims for their consideration.
WEARILY the Irish Church Bill drags
Its length through .the House of Lords.
The debates, as far as we can fudge from
the texts furnished, have developed no
brilliancy in oratory,' no statesmanlike
ability on the part of the aristocratic
peers. Those who oppose the reform do
so with fear and caution. They cannot
blind their eyes to the fact that the people
are disturbed on the question; that revo-
Intim lurks in the popular heart and that
some heed must be paid the popular
clamor . . It now seems probable that the
bill will be passed, retaining the dims
tablishment feature but stripping away
the disendomx 'tiant provision. It is hardly
probable that this half measure will
satisfy public expectation, or that the
clamor will be mollified in any wise by
Its adoption.
A SUGGESTION.
All men in this Commonwealth, who
know any thing about public matters, nu_
deratand that the Pennsylvania Railroad
COmpany, on the one Part, end the major
part of the business men of Pittsburgh
and vicinity, on the other part, d o not
hold the most amicable relations towardi
eachtther. It is not our purpose to de
tail ,hither the manifest or conjectural
causes of this estningemeilt, but to sug
gest a measure by which they may; to
some good degree, at least, be removed.
At present the management of the
Company is located exclusively at Phila
delphia. -- No ono of its officers of agents
- here have authority to hear 'and decide
upon suggestions or appeals. If a Vice-
President or General Superintendent
should be stationed here; one not only
-'wise in railway management, but discreet
and skillful in his intercourse with , men;
and fortified with a liberal measure of
discretionary,power, held somewhat sub
ject to Consultation with and direction
from, the main aloe. valuable results,
both to the Company and to the people of
these munici
cmplished.
With the acquisition of the Fort Wayne
Road, the trunk line which extends be
tween Philadelphia and this city, here
become bifurcated, one branch reaching
Chicago and du') other Cincinnati and St.
Louis. This consolidation of interests
renders it the more desirable that there
should be cons tip here an officer with
ample (Named° ary authority to deal with
citizens for the 1 justment of all questions
iir
now raised or hich may hereafter come
up.
We make this suggestion deferentially,
but not doubting that it is worth consid
ering, and that the adoption of it would
lead to good consequences all round.
FIFTH ST.
:MMI
SOLDIER'S MONUMENT.
I
So far as we can learn there.is nearly a
universal disappointment and dissatisfac
tion with the determination of the Ladi i is
Monument Association to treat the Mo -
=Lent in the CeMetery. The Cemetery
is a place for private monuments, not for
public. The adoinments are such as the
varied tastes and circumstances of the lot
owners suggest. ' The visitors to a Ceme
tery expect , to find there only the tokens
of private griefand private or family man
ifestations of respect for their dead. A
monument designed to commemorate a
historical event,r outburst of national
patriotism, is quite a different affair. The
Equestrian Statue of Wesuniutox is in
Union. Park, New York, not in Green
wood Cemetery. So , with the Battle
Monument of the same city. The Battle
Monument commemorative q the War of
1812, at Baltimore, is in 4i r e middle of
Calvert street,' widened to - accommodate
it; the great WASHINGTON Monument of
the same city is in the centre of two cross
streets, with four miniature parks impro
vised on the adjacent grounds. But our
Pittsburgh ladies seem to prefer seclusion
and retirement, as though fearful the
work of their hands—the fruit of the pub
lic benefactions intended to commemorate
.e , virtues and the patriotism of those
who gave their lives in behalf of freedom
and free institutions, would be seen of
men—or looked upon by the vulgar
throng. Surely, " if such erections have
any justification, it is in the lesson they
are calculated to , teach of a patriotic citi
zen soldiery and a grateful people.
The ladies who have made this great
mistake are among our most worthy and
respectable. We feel sure they were per
fectly honest and sincere in their prefer
ences. We, nevertheless, insist that,
without question, their choice is an of
fence to the popular judgment—is a great
mistake—we hope not irremdiable. The
bodies of our dead braves find their
.fitting repose in the Cemetery: Their
ie
mausoleum should be an ev r enduring
pavan, challenging the! at ntion and
reverence of mankind in thei marts and
thorougfares of daily life, reminding the
busy throng that off, to yonder God's
acre, are garnered the remains of ihops
ands, once as active and vigorous as we
are, whose lives were given, a ransom for
our imperilled liberties. [
If the Monument is t 0. ., be j of size, de
sign and coit, worthy at all o' its object,
and of the enthusiasm oT the contributors,
do not, ladies, we entreat you, conceal it ,
in the shades of a rural Cemetery, but
raise it heavenward from some. spot ac
cessible to all feet, visible Ito all eyes.
We prefer, the worst of all, the public
sites proposed, to_its seclusion in the
Cemetery.
PLEAS.
A room WORTHY OF ATTENTION.
For years the tongue of land at the
junction, of the rivers Alrgheny and
Monongahela, known as th Point, has
been increasing in size until now . there
exists an area of several acres of rude
ground, which is about as ugly to look
upon as any spot in
,the city. When
Pittsburgh was fotuided and laid out, it
was not supposed that the little village
would ever grow to be a thickly popu
lated town. The fields and woods were
so near and easy of access that it was not
considered necessary to provide a park
for the refreshinent of tired workers, and
.fis the city grew and encroached farther
and farther upon the rural surroundings,
nobody seemed to heed the warning until
suddenly it was discovered that the forests
had disappeared, , the fields were covered
with houses, and that a park had become
a necessity. Every available foot of
ground has become covered with houses,
and if a park is to be had at all,. it mist
be constructed now, miles from what
used to be the outside limits of the city.
Such a park, with clumps of forest trees
and smooth velvety lawns, through which
pleasant drives and paths may wind,
would indeed be a delightful addition to
Pittsburgh, but it must of necessity be
out of the daily reach of the majority o,
the people who come -home tired in. the
evenings and want a breath of fresh air
and a glimpse of green grass and leaves
Without having to walk miles to obtain
the luxury. To many, the Allegheny
Comnions will be just the place they
require, but they are neither large
enough nor near enough for all, and this
new made ground at the Point r if it were
secured by a nest water-wall, and prettily
laid out, planted and sodded, would add,
we feel certain, a large percentage of
pleasure to the lives of many of our citi
zens, and their , wives and chute; be
sides making the first view of Pittsburgh,
attained by approaching it by way of the
Ohio, indescribably more pleasing, We
do not - suggest that this shall take the
place of a mall park, for it is by n o
means large enough for that, but it is capa
ble of making a &snafu oasis in the

'ties, might be readily ac-
great black desert of smoke and bricks;
a welcome preface to the beautiful su
burban park which should come after
wards. At present this ground is lying
idle, but it Will not long remain so, and
if the city does not take it for the purpose
we suggest, it will not be long before it is
covered with boiler yards or railway de
pots, and the-last chance of securing a
veritable lung for Pittsburgh be destroyed.
LAUDABLE RIVALRY
Some months ago enterprising citizens
of St. Louis resolved to make a vigorous
effort, to change the outlet of grain,
throughout the upper portion of the
Mississippi Valley, from the railway 'sys
tem centering at Chicago; back into the
natural water channel. They not only
determined to make the effort, but actually
made it, and with such success that the
railway managers and grain dealers at
Chicago were surprise& and alarmed.
Their .supremaey in the handling and
transportatian of cereals ' was clearly en
dangered. -
.
The obvious meaaures of self-protection
were a reduction of elevator charges and
railway freight.S. _ Something in both
these directions was speedily accomplished
at Chicago; but these abatements of profits
were confessions of the peril to which
the companies • and individuals making
them were exposed. The monopoly was
manifestly broken. But even these
abatements seem to have beeninsufficient,
for efforts at the reduction of charges have
been extended over the lakes to the Buf
falo elevators; and from thence over both
ways of transportation to New Yord.
• But the. St. Louis men, instead of rest
ing content with what they have already
done, have guaranteed the Grain Associa
tion of that city against loss in bringing
an ocean steamer from New York, and
giving her back freight in grain. Upon
this basis the experiment will unques
tionably be made, and int shall prove
remunerative, regular lines of sea-going
steamers will doubtless be established to
carry grain from St. Louts to New York.
This is one case of commendable ri
valry. Let us look for a moment at an
other. Ever since the Pacific railways
were projected, it has been maintained
by their enthusiastic advoades that when
they should be completed, the trade with
China and India would pass over them.
This the ship-owners have denied, and
have supported their denials by strong
arrays of facts and figures as to the actual
and relative cost of transportation by rail
and by water, with the interest on the mer
chandise during the transit. The water
communication, though longer, seemed
to be so much cheaper as to defy compe
tition. But, yesterday morning there
was chronicled in our telegrams the arri
val of it considerable invoice of tea at San.
Francisco, destined for New York by
railway.
This( by no means settles the point in
controversy. It may be that this experi
mental invoice will not meet the hopes of
the owners, and that, Enlightened by the
result, all merchants will continue to
reach China and India by the long way
round.
Moreover, If it shall be 'established
that Chinese and Indian goods can be
brought across the continent by rail in
competition with the customary ocean
route, that fact will quiaen the construe•
tion of a ship canal across the Isthmus,
RECOMPENSE OF LABOR.
Reports which have been current to the
effect that the strike of the miners in the
anthracite coal fields had terminated, were
without foundation. The Miners' Asso
ciation pealed a sefiee' of resolution ' de
claring that in view of two facts—first,
that they bad measurably accomplished
their object by diminishing the overstock
of coal in the market—and, second, that
a feeling against their movement had
been created among the people at large of
such intensity that it would probably lead
to a repeal of the tax on_ foreign coal—
they were willing to resume work on
certain conditions.
In getting up this strike the workmen
were clearly and shamefully in the wrong.
ThelLavowed design was, by stopping
production, to send up the price of
coal in the principal markets, so'as to en.
able them for demand increased compensa
tion. It is- altogether doubtful, if they
had succeeded in doing exactly
what they proposed, whether they
would 'not have entailed a pecu
niary loss upon themselves instead of
making a gain. As it was, they have spent
some weeks in idleness, consuming the
savings of, months of precious labor; and
this is a dead loss. Had they continued
the strike for so long a period as to send
up the price of coal for the residue - of the
year, the stronger companies would not
have advanced wages, because, In so
doing, they would have placed themselves
in the wrong before the public, and have
created justifying mums for the repeal
of the duty on foreign coal. The policy
of Protection ought no t ; to, and will not, be
used In this country to shut out foreign
competition in order that either capitalists
or workmen, by combinations, and may
atop domestic competition, and thus ex
tort what rates of compensation they
please. -
As a matter of political economy, it is
doubtless desirable that workmen in all
departments of industry should be liber
ally compensated. But coal enters into
general consumption in all the cities and
towns. An advance in price sorelytouches
hundreds of thousands of poor men and
women. , t These poor men are all Toter',
and outnumber the miners indefinitely.
They are mainly worlonely as. wallas
the Wiens. So that this controvereps
largely between two classes of toilers.
While the strike was in full , force, the
Miners' Association proposed that the
men should go to work on the basis ofi a
certaidproportion of the coal sent to mar
ket; and this proposition was rejected
the proprietors, ostensibly on the . grou4
thatlo accept it would, in effectc be i
ing the laborers into partnership with the
capitalists.
Without pretending to decide that
the proportion Of the coal
De
manded by the miners was the
equitable one, we think the basis 1141 f
not simply unobjectionable but 'intrinsic
ally sound. Indeed, that is precisely what
is included in the general idea of wages,
when reduced to final analysis. Wages
always bear a definite proportion to the
commodity produced. The plan ofnial
king that proportion absolute and
movable is the only point deserving of
serious consideration in this case. IJ
Now, we happen to know this iiip•
position, in substance, is not, on
the part of the anthracite miners, of
recent origin. It has been repeatedly
proposed by them, and has sometimes
been accepted. No difficulty has re
sulted from the basirivhenever, coal has
sold high, ' but when: prices have fallen io
1
a low point the miners have uniform l y('
bolted _ the arrangement, on t, es
An
plea that they cbuld t
maintain their faniilies on what they
received. Proprietors have 'naturally flit
that it the workmen received their full
shares of the profits when the gains were
large, if not inordinate, they ought '7.43
suffer a fair proportion of
. the loss when
loss was inevitable. If this conception lii
not just, we certainly fail to see whylt,ls
not. The game of "heads I win; tails
you lose," is one which capitalists are no
more likely to consent to play, than the,
men they hire. It workman insist upon
any arrangement' with employers that
amounts to a virtual partnership, they
must make up their minds some years t
jt
least to work .without wages, just as ca . i talists have to go, not only without gains,
but to bear actual losses. 1
This condition of affairs in the anthril
cite counties is represented by eastern
journals as decidedly favorable to the
bituminous coal interest in
fir
it creates
a new and ( large demand kir soft coal,
which is likely to become permanent.

the las • few weeks, p i bile notiecs
have app d, both in the English and
e i e
German pa ere published in'this city, that
the German in Pittsburgh and vicinity,
as a body, were making preparations to
celebrate the coming Fourth i of July on
Sunday
_ and inasmuch as a report has

in said celebration; therefore, the under

by the authority of the congregations
they, respectively represent, publicly to
protest against any and all such publica
tions and reports.
Those, who, in violation of an existing
national custom, propose to celebrate the.
Fourth on Sunday, are not the Germans,
but only some among the Germans, vii:
the rationalists, inclifferenti ts . and con
firmed infidels. These are e men who
first inaugurated this depl rable move
?
merit, and who now, rega diess of that
respect due to an establishe national cull
tom and in defiance of the most earnest
remonstrances heard from almost every
quarter, seem determined to carry, It
through. But among the German Evan
gelical Lutheran congregations in and
around Pittsburgh, (six in number,) there
is not one that would, undet any circum
stances, participate in such a celebration.
It is not our intention to investigate
the mots that prompt some of our Ger
man fellow citizens to contemplate a cele
bration so very offensive to a large and
respectable portion of our population; nor
is it our desire to present a detailed state
ment as to which, is the true doctrine con.

Churches, subscribed; neither it it partOf
our object to examine the question in its
legal aspect, a duty which properly
longs to those learned in the law, and t

DEATH ,BY SUFI! OCATION
Inquest—Testimony—The Verdict.
The Corner's Jury In the case of 'Miss
Emma Lithe, the girl whose death oc
curred at the St. James Hotel on Sunday
morning, from asphyxia, met in the
parlor of the hotel td eight o'clock, last
evening, when the following testimony
was heard:
Dr. T. W. Shaw, sworn—l was celled
by Mr. Lanahan between twelve and one
o'clock on. Saturday afternoon to see ihtiss
Lithe; found her in room 37 of the St.
'James; there was a very strong smell of
gas in the room: ascertained that the gas
,had been escaping; deceased was uncon
scious; she could not swallow; Dr. Dun
can arrived soon after I did; we exam
ined the patient and found the extremi
ties cold; we gave her some brandy and
thought she would improve; made an
other visit at about eleven o'clock Satur
day night; found the deceased still un
conscious, in which condition she re
mained until she expired; think she was .
fifteen or sixteen yeafs of age; Mr. Lana
ban was present with deceased nearly all
the time until her death; when first saw
deceased she was partially- disrobed and
had one shoe on. -
Mr. Tustin testified that he came on
the train with deceased; first met her at
Altoona; opened conversation with her,
and talked with her until we got this
aide of Greensburg. She wanted me to
take her to a hotel; said I would, but at
the depot I missed her. I spoke of my
mother having been struck by lightning.
At Greensburg she said she was not very
well. She told me she was going to visit
an uncle named. Phillips at Sharon.
Dr. Duncan was called and gave testi
mony Similar to that given by Dr. Shaw.
He said the deceased, when he arrived
at her bedside, was in a comatose state;-
there was no doubt that the inhalation of
gas caused her death. Mi. Lanahan and
all connected with the St, James Hotel
were most assiduous in theli attentions
to the girl up to the time of her death.
The porter of the St. James testified
to facts connected with the matter, all of
which have been published.
Mr. W. C. Furley, the night clerk,
testified that the deceased came to the
house at half-past ten o'clock'• Friday
night; witness registered her name, and
the porter showed her a room; she re
tired at 11 o'clock. •
•
Mr. Lanahan, proprietor of the St.
James, was sworn. He did not see de-,
ceased until a quarter before twelve
o'clbck Saturday; Mrs. Lanahan in
formed him of the strong smellof gas in
the house; he referred to the register
and found room 37 occupied, as already
stated. Nothing further was elicited by
hls testimony.
The jury retired, and after a brief
conference they returned a verdict to the
effect that the death of Miss Lithe was
caused by the inhalation of gas.
Mr. Lanahan received a dispatch from
th'e gb Ps mother, asking if her child was
still alive. and stating that she would
lea vg for Pitisburgh on 'the first train.
She had not arrived up to the time at
which the inquest was concluded, but
will probably react] the city ibis morning.

To give a timely warning to those who are ant
tering from any of those protrusions denoral
noted hernia or rupture, should be regarded AS:
au act, not only of kindness, but even of duty. '.
Especially is this the case when so many of our
fellow-citlzens are suffering from an anmenk so
little understood, and to often fatal to human
life. We do not know of a more serious condi
tion than that which is denominated rupture, no
matter in what part of the body It exhibits
itself. Rupture is a lesion of almost always a se
rious character, and whether in men, women' or
children, can be securely retained to its proper
place by the adjuatment of a properly - fitted
truss. Dr. KEYSER, AT HIS GREAT MEDI
CINE STORE, NO. 167 LIBERTY STREET,has
always hi store every variety and form of the best
trusses and appLances for the retention, &Bevis
t lon and cure of this now CJII11:11011 ailment. What
man or woman will linger through life, with the
danger constantly staring them in the face, and
the tear of strangulated and incarcerated hernia, ;
when the means Of relief are so easily accessible-i
and the prospect of relief o certain and WWII-
blef The prospects of a cure in most cases of
rupture are much more certain than fennerly.
and the appliances for teat purpose., of a muit
superior kind thariteose formerly used. In the
rcpt ire of children, nearly every cue' is sure to
get well, and when they fail to do so it is because
of ill-fitted or inadequate trusses.. It behooves
every one, therefore, who,has any ailment of
this kind to seek the best means afforded and
thus secure iminno sty from so formidable a ills
ease.

GENERAL DEBILITY IS NATURE'S
- APPEAL FOR HELP.
Thousands of, persons. without any speelfle all- •
Meat, are the victims of languor and lassitude.
The unthinking are apt to confound this species
of inertion with laziness; whereu. It usually
arisen from a want of organic, energy, for which I
the subject/ of It are no more responsible than the
near-Sighted ire for their defective vision.. Such 1.
.persons, although they may be free from pain, are
as truly invalids, and as tench in need of medical
aid as if theywere tormented with the pangs of
acute disease. They require a TONIC and ALTER-
ATIVE that will rouse and regulate their torpid
organizations. In cases of this kind. HOSTET- I
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS produce an Mime
diate and most favorable effect. _ , The debilitated
and desponding valetudinarlan,who feels as if be
Were but half alive; Who shuns company,and has •
no relish either forlonsiness or pleasure; is meta-
inorposed, bv a brief aurae of this most potent
vegetable ft/vigor/tut, into quite a different
Mg. The change effected by the BITTERS,in his
bodily and mental condition, is a surprise to
himself and his 'friends. He mopes no longer:
the active principle of lice, which seemed to;
have died out of him,ls re-awakened,and be feels
like a new man. Remembering that debility is,
not only an affliction itself, but an INVITATION
TO DISEASE. no time should be lost in recruiting •
the broten-down system with this choicest and
most potent of all TONICS AND yneavnixis.
