ALLEGHENY CELEBRATION.
To-morrow the Northside municipality
trill celebrate the fiftieth anniversay of its
organization as a city. Taken simply as an
independent citr, without any connection
-with the larger member ol the same, munici
pal family, the record of progress from the
date when Allegheny was advanced from
the rank ot a borough to that of city is In
terfiling and Important. Special articles
giving tlio local lilslory aud abounding
villi anecdotes concerning the early days of
Allegheny City, which are the prominent
feat-ires of lu-dny'e DiM-Aidit, fully set
forth that phnse of the celebration. The
contrast between the dnyi when tint uti
keinpl "commons" inrmed the outiklrU of
the lmn of 10,000 people to the present day
when the park nnn the beautiful setting
for the publla eillfli'ea ami the handsome
dwellings of n city of lOn.ono population Is
a very great nun, The contrast, If Inlelll.
gently nnnlyned, will bo found to comprise
a record nf all the great advances in Indus
try and science for the putt half cealury,
The railroad, tho elcotrla telegraph and the
application of steiim power in tho earlier
part of the decade and the telephone, cleo
trie lighting nuil elcctrlo railway, togolher
with the local factor of natural gas iu later
years, each has taken Its part utid marked
an epoch In the ten-fold increase of popu
lation, Hut there is really a broader view of the
growth and progress which this anniversary
will ceicbmte, in the recognition of Alle
gheny as an integral and important part of
the great community which is located on
both sides of the river. It is as a part of
Pittsburg thut Allegheny has grown in
magnitude and wealth. During the greater
part oi the half century ahe has furnished
homes for the increase of the population of
the whole community, nnd it was only until
the plain on the Nortliside was thickly oc
cupied uack to the hills, that the population
ol Piltiburg overflowed her own hills to the
valleys ou the eastern side. The real inter
est of the occasion is one iu whicb the resi
dent of Pittsburg can share as well as the
Allegbeuian, namely, as typical of the
progress, growth and enrichment of the in
dustrial and mercantile interests which have
made Allegheny liopulous because Pitts
burg was prosperous.
All the history, reminiscences and reflec
tions produced, by to-morrow's event will
emphasize this one fact: that the growth,
interests and prosperity of Allegheny are
indissoluble ard inevitably bound up with
and a part ot the growth and prosperity of
Pittsburg. If Pittsburg is active, enter
prising and expansive, Allegheny must
share the benefits; if the business interests
are burdened and depressed Allegheny
must languish and decay. Whatever has
conduced to the benefit of Pittsburg, Alle
gheny has shared in; whenever commercial
or public misfortune has fallen on the greater
municipality, the younger member of the
family has not escaped its share of the in-"
jury. Separate in name and political
organization, the north side city is in feel
ing, commercial and industrial interests,
social connections and local pride as much
a part of Pittsburg as either the East
End or the Sonthside.
With this unity of the two cities brought
out by every detail of the celebration, as a
matter of fact, why should not the views of
the future, which are necessary part of such
an occasion, extend to the unity that exists
in fact, the recognition? Why should not
the glorification of the day be stimulated by
the recognition of the possibility that such
a unity would be accomplished not by let
ting Pittsburg absorb Allegheny, but by
letting Allegheny absorb Pittsburg, and
creating a new and greater communlty,to be
known as Allegheny? Tub Dispatch
has already shown how this can be done,
without prejudicing any local interests, by
preserving the autonomy of the two districts
as to finance, taxation and all other matters
of administration in which Independence
will be to the advantage or cither. Is it not a
proper part of the reflections of the day
that Allegheny should extend the unity
which has made her progress possible in
such a manner that she can take her proper
place before the country as a leading part
in wealth, population and influence of a
city of 400,000 Inhabitants?
WHAT AKE THE FACTS
"Wo believe that the numbered ballot
feature, which was put into the Constitution
as a safeguard against fraud and with the
best Intentions, is subject to abuse and
should be removed," remarks the Philadel
phia JTVesi In an article concerning the atti
tude of the two parties on the subject of
ballot rmrm. Tills deeUrMlnii wrriil

Unwind, whit Instances of the abute of
this provision are there equal in danger Io
the practice of substituting frnndulent bsl
lots, which cannot be detected unless there
are some weans of identifying the ballots
oast by the voters?
Third, at what time prior to the adoption
of the Republican pUnk In favor of the
constitutional amendment did the Dreu ex
press this belief in tbe existence of the
abuses?
When these questioni are answered br the
production of actual cases there may be
same foundation for the campaign against
the Constitution. As long as they remain
unanswered the demand for the constitu
tional amendment by the Republican organs
is simply shallow partisanship.
MR. nLAlNE'S MISTAKE.
Secretary Blaine's letter on the subject
of reciprocity is written in support of a
policy which has often been indorsed in
these columns, and against whicb, in the
main, no words can be said. But in bis
anxiety to secure tbe uuiversal application
of his policy, the Secretary proposes to urge
it upon tome details of the present tariff eo
actment in a way which would subordinate
the interests of the people simply to an
ideality of reciprocal policy.
In objecting to the removal of duty on
sugar, except in exchange for a removal ot
the duty on American flonr nt Havana, the
Secretary shows his inability to perceive
that the removal of the sugar duty is urged
solely for the benefit of American con
sumers. Tbe object aimed at is to
take away an unnecessary burden
of about 560,000,000 per annum on an ar
ticle of universal consumption, in which the
object of protection has been wholly de
feated by a Trust, and the only result of
which has been the yielding of nt revenue
which itis the Interest of the country to
cut off. It would, of course, be an advant
age to American interests to have the Cuban
market opened to American flour; and as
the duties imposed by Spain are plainly re
taliatory for our suj-ar duties, perhaps that
object may be gained by the reduction of the
latter. But the total amount of our sales
of flour to Cuba is not over 20 per cent of
the unnecessary cost of the sugar oi this
country. The retention of tbe sugar duties
will cost tbe farmers alone more than the
loss ol tiio Havana market for their flour.
The Secretary's error Is evident with re
gard to lili illustration taken from our cof
fee trade with Brazil, It is worth notlolng
ilmt the unsatisfactory balance of trade
with Uracil under the removal of the coffee
duty ii not won then the equally unotl
factory balance with Cuba under the re
tcntlonol the sugar duties, But the point
li that (lie removal of Hie coffee duties was
done for the bentflt of American consumers,
II wain staple ot general consumption) Its
produollon could net be developed nt lionio
and therefore the repeal of (ha duly In 1H73
meant the removal of an unnecessary tax
from every breakfast table In the land,
Of the question ol reolproaal trade, It Ii
necessary to say that If after the sugar du
ties have been removed Hpaln continues her
barbarous policy of making flour dear to the
(Julians, It may be ncoessary to Impose a re
taliatory duty, not on suitor as a staple, but
on Cuban sugar. That would be retaliation
which Bpaln would feel. With the duty re
moved on other sugars, Spain might see
that it was necessary to permit our flour to
be sold in exchange for her sugars. But
with tbe duties kept up ou oil sugars, Spain
has no Inducement to make concessions.
These considerations are clearly deoislvo in
favor of repealing the sugar duties and let
ting the consumers of tho nntlon have
cheapened sugars.
A CITY UOSrlTAL.
The reason advanced by Chief Elliot, of
the Department of Charities, for tbe estab
lishment of a city hospital, are weighty and
well considered. Mr. Elliot's argument,
which is printed in another column, should
be read. He makes out a very powerful
plea for a city hospital.
It is true, as Mr. Elliot says, that Pitts
bnrg stands in particular need of inch an
institution, by reason of the dangerous avo
cations of so many of her inhabitants. The
hospitals in the citv, admirable as they are,
cannot and should not be expected to ex
ceed their present sphere of action. Tho
overcrowding of the City Farm is alone
sufficient reason for the agitation of this
question. The Dispatch will be glad to
aid Mr. Elliot in bis efforts to improve the
city. By getting the plans well outlined at
this early day, the Legislature's assistance
may the more readily be obtained.
FALSE VIEWS O.t UORK.UPTION.
EeportJ from Beaver county are to the
effect that there is no especial popular de
mand for the punishment of the bribery at
tbe Xew Castle convention. The most re
markable theory presented is that "for the
good of the party" the matter should be
quieted up.
In the first place it should not be neces
sary to await any popular demand for the
punishment of crimes against the public
The idea, that if a man has committed rob
bery, bribery or other theft, either of politi
cal or material merchandise, the officers of
the law must await a popular demand before
proceeding against him, is destructive of the
enforcement of the law and the prevention
of crime. The offense of purchasing votes is
as great against the public welfare as the
offense of picking pockets; and when the
charge is made of that offense tbe publio
officials who do not take steps at once to
have it investigated by the legal instru
mentalities mutt be false to their duties.
Even more unique is the idea advanced
by some of tho Beaver county Republicans
that tbe matter should be dropped for the
"good of the party." A party which will
be benefited by hushing- up nnd condon
ing bribery must be in a remarkable condi
tion of morality. Any party whiob. stands
lor the cause of honest popular representa
tion and decent politics will have its
good best subserved by the exposure and
punishment of dishonesty and bribery, and
tbe retirement of corruptioniite to private
life. If crimes against honest polities like
this aro to be ignored for party good, it
identifies tbe party in which this is done,
with corruption.
Finally, a rather remarkable state of
affairs Is alleged, to the effect that the law
against bribery at nominating conventloni
and primaries Is so formed that the parties
most active in tbe bribing cannot be reached,
If that is io there is need for new planks .in
.the party platforms .much more urgent than

A BOILING LAKE.
One of Novndn'e Curlona Natural Phe
nomena Described.
From the Virginia (Ner.) Enterprise.
Recently an item has been going tbe ronnds
In regard to a boiling lake near Lassen's Pea
California. It is not generally known, but we
have in Nevada a similar boiling lake. It is
situated at the eastern base of the Drst large
mountain range east of the Sink of tbe Carson.
It lies on the edge of an immense desert a
desert so large and scorching that in summer
the Indians never attempt to cross It except at
night, and even then they always go provided
with a large supply of water. On three sides
of the lake are rocks two or tbree hundred feet
hlgu, which are perfectly bare and are burned
to a deep brick-red. The area of the lake Is
about two acres. Thongh steam Is constantly
rising from tbe water tbe whole surface of the
lake does not boll. The agitation boiling Is
confined to tho great springs which burst up at
several points. Those springs force columns of
water from afoot to two or three feet In dlam
etor to a height of over 20 Inches aboye the
general surface of the lake, causing a loud,
rinnllne sound and considerable local commo
tion. The water of tho whole lake is doubtless
boiling hot, though not seen to boll, for a
brook flowing from It down Into the sands of
tbe desert sends up a cloud of steam for a dis
tance of several hundred yards. About a mile
from tbe lake Is a great deposit of sulphur,
running through whiob are streaks of puro
alum from two to six Inches wide.

Is expected. Mr. File is one of the ablest
dramatic critics In New York, and the honesty
ot tbe A'un's reviews ot tba stage has, through
Mr. File's agenoy, become famous. Tbe play
is called "Overlook," and it Is described as a
Western drama devoid of miners, cowboys,
Indians, gunpowder and bowle knives. Anna

Assistant Manager Dawson, of the Bijou

Indications are that the theatrical season here

That is to say that the Grand Opera House,

A LITTLE WHITE HEAESE.
ATlnrWIilto Coffin Burled Beneath Mattes
of Llllee nnd Pnlo Koscbads.
From tbe Detroit Free Press.l
The funeral procession comes siowiy aiong
the street Drawn by two mllk-wblto ponies,
the little white hearse with its nodding white
plumes moves on. Upon Its snowy, silken cur
tains, buried beneath great masses of lilies
and pale rosebuds, lests a tiny white coffin.
All is white as purely whito as the little soul
that has flitted away from the waxen baby
form lying within the coffin.
At the street corner stands a crowd of noisy
boys, tossing a ball back and forth among
them. The crush of tho passing wheels falls
upon their ears, and, looking up, the ball is
dropped, the loud shouts hushed, as each hoy
duffs his cap and stands in muto reverence
while tho little white hoarse passes by.
A street car conies rumbling along tho track,
tbe bell upon the horse's neck jingling and
clanging upon tho air. Tho driver sees before
him the little hearse, with its flower-strewn

The Bradford man who may be called to

SOME CHOICE SNAKE STORIES.
A huge blacksnake, four feet in length, was
killed in the private office of tbe exchange
bank of Cbeill, Soil & Co., at Carthage, 111. The
bank Is on a principal street, and nobody saw
the snake enter. The reptile bad swallowed
two large packages of notes, and was about to
escape with its plunder.
A woman at Great Hill, Conn., finding a
snake among her growing cucumbers, took an
original way of dispatching him. She poured
a kettle of boiling water over the intruder,
and tbe dose so used him up that she found no
trouble then in finishing him with a whip. He
measured, it is said, four feet in length.
Miss Jessie Slinoltjff, of Wayne town
ship, was -on her way for the cows a few
evenings since, when suddenly sbo espied a
rattlesnake, the reptile being within i wo Xeet
other. She did not faint nor run away, but
seizing a club killed tbe snake and dragged its
body home. The snake was four feet in length
and was the possessor of eight rattles.
"While in Corn Cobb county, Georgia," says
aPenfleldman, "In 1865, we were repairing
railroads that had been torn np. I was on tbe
bank watching for hoopsnakes. Seeing one
coming I yelled to Jim Murphy to look out.
He suck his pick in tbe ground -and jumped
back. Tbe snake struck the pick handlowlth
Us tall, and in five minutes the handle turned
black as your bat and swollodup and bustod
tho oye out of tho pick."
Geoboe L. Stephens, or Nowark, whllo
walking through the woods at Lakewood, N,
J on Saturday, was nttackod by a spotted
adder 6 feet H inches long. The roptlle
jumped from a bush aud fastened Its fangs in
Mr. Btepbons' legs. Mr. Stephens was not In
tbo least disconcerted and qulotly stamped tbo
life out of the adder. Neither did tbe gentle
man deom it necosiary to drink a quart of
wblsky or appiyto a physician to uie his efforts
to extract the virus. Tim is cxpldnod by tho
fjet that Mr. Btoplieni wears two artificial
limbs. He lost both legs by being struck by a
train on the Delaware Lackawanna and West

There were no exercises In the morning. In

spoke In the amphitheater In oontlnuanc- of
her leotures on food making, taking for ber
subject, From a dletetlo standpoint." There Is
nn place probably In which reform Is more
needed In tbe methods of preparing fond than
at the average summer assembly. A much
broader field for culinary missionary work may,
however, be found In our educational Institu
tions. For eduoatlonal institutions, however
much they Improve In otber respects, aro slow
to Improvo In the quality of the fare furnished
their students. Personal acquaintance with
tbe boarding departments nf a largo number
of (hese Institutions extends over quite a wide
territory, and in not n single one of them Is the
fare furnished what It should be. In somo ot
them tho material Is good, but tho preparation
of It very imperfect while in others the ma
terial is nf Inferior quality and the cooking still
worse. But tho discouraging feature of tbe
whole Is that the presidents and principals of
tbe institutions admit that tbe faro Is not
what It should be, but-assert that no better can
be furnished for the prices paid for It Such
statements aro without foundation in fact
are atterly false.
Economy In Cookery.
Tvthen tho principles of cookery are under
stood a family ot ten persons can live on
the best the market affords for 51 73 a week,
and a larger number can be provided for in a
similar manner at considerably reduced rates.
At any institution where there are 200 or 300
persons to provide meals for, regularly, board
of an excellent quality can be furnished at $2
a week with a liberal margin of profit Educa
tors havo too long overlooked tbo effect of
food npon the mental and physical habits of
students, and Ignorance and carelessness in
the culinary departments of our schools has
been the rnln of many a noble life, the wreck
of many a bright career.
There can he no properhealthful progress In
our schools, physically or intellectually, until
students have fare adapted to their physical
and mental need. When the boarding de
partments of educational -institutions are
placed In charge of competent, well-trained
domestic economists, the best In quality ot
food, cooked In the belt possible manner, will
be furnished for considerably less than Is now
charged at these Institutions for Inrenor food
stuff cooked in a very Inferior manner. Most
nf the men and women who rnn hotels and
boarding homes believe iu tbe economy of
cheap food stuff and poor cookery, and a large
amount ot tbo food served at their tables Is
wasted on accouut of Its Imperfect preparation
and cousequcnt lmpalatableness. Ail articles
used for food should be of tbe best quality,
and should ba cooked in tho best possible mait
ner, e t
Tbe Oesl te tbe Cheapest,
Jt Is talso economy that lnduaei people to use
cheap butter, cheap coifed, cheap tea, cheap
meat,' cheap flour and other cheap Articles of
food. It Is n flagrant violation ot the laws of
physiology and a reokleti tleltttnos of (IIidaso

NOTES ABOUT THE CENSUS,
Official and semi-official consus returns
glvo tbe new Stato of Washington a popula
tion of 350,000.
After a recanvass of Denver, CoL, an un
official estimate of the population has placed
tho total at 125,000.
When the census agent calls tho roll tho
Kansas City man shouts "here" so fast that It
manes his teeth chattor and his nose bleed.
THE census enumerator In East Andover. N.
H. made the acqualntauco of a man and his
wife who were rejoicing over the birth of their
25tb child.
Wyandotte school district of Butte county
Is noted for its good school facilities, yet the
last census showed that only one baby was
horn in the district this year.
The oldest Inhabitant of Wilkinson county
found by the enumerators is old man Bill
Uonnuin, colored, at the County Poor Houso.
His age is returned at 107 years.
THE New York Herald correctly observes in
connection with the census figures that it isn't
great cities so much as good cities that wo
ought to look for and cultivate. Thanks,
awfully! Boston appreciates the compliment
Rather than roast the census enumerators
for neglect of duty, the Register Is willing to
believe that tho population of Sandusky is less
than It was two years ago. If it Is, Sandusky
is the only city in Ohio which is on the down
grade.
The census enumerators found one town In
the heart of a rich country which has added
only 12 persons to the population in ten years.
This is GUroy, In Santa Clara county. Cat., tho
center of a great wheat country. Tho mam
reason for the stationary position of tbe town
Is that the land is held by large owners in
ranches of many thousand acres, and no en
couragement is offered to small larmers.

SIT GOOD CIGAR.
My good cigar! Nicotian weed.
Can aught thy blandishments exceed?
Can mortal wear more pleasant yoke
Than that hid In thy tteel gray cloak?
Can pains and Ills from it proceed?
Let priests of every church, and creed
For smokers pray, with smokers plead.
Yet day-dreamt bright dost thoa Invoke,
My good cigar.
In thy gray clouds my fancies feed.
My wearied thoughts take freshened speed.
Let cynics frown and curse and choke
Whene'er they smell tobacco smoke.
Naught that thev give can snpersede
