Good roads will prevent depre
citation in farm lands. Good roads
make markets more accessible, de-
crease the cost of transportation
and increase the profits of produce
correspondingly. Farmers, land
owners, and city builders are all
equally interested in this matter,
and they should agitate the subject.
The Chehalis Bee, in a sensible
discussion Of our present County
road law, and the manner in which
it is enforced, says that experience
shows that the present system of
expanding the road tax is radically
wrong A great portion OF the
fnnd is about wasted, when by an
other and more systematic way of
doing, much more good work could
be done with the same amount OF
tax. The Bee says there should

A MnNEYIFss cAMpA1nN

A fact reported from Iowa with regard to
the recent election there presents gratifying
proof that it is possible to conduct political
campaigns to a successful issue without roll
ing in the barrels of Doodle. The account of
the Democratic State Central Committee
shows that its total expenses during the
campaign were within $1,000. That amount
paid for printing, postage and headquarters,
and the campaign so operated was the most
successful for the Democrats ever known in
Iowa. This is pretty clear evidence that if
the class who are in politics for the money
are kept out of the party organization, the
legitimate work of appealing to the people
can be done as effectively with very small
expenditure as with an outpouring of
money. Col. Elliott f. Shepard is witness to
the fact that man can put large sums of
money into a campaign and yet not get the
goods delivered.

POLITICIANS But WOMEN STILL.

Without touching upon the question,
which is probably the most important in
the eyes of the women present, as to who
had the last word in the combat between
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster and Miss Willard
the w. c. T. q. convention calls for some
remarks. There are many men naturally
who would like the world TO see in the
tempestuouS proceedings of this convention
the entire tutility of women meddling in
politics. 1t may be that the behavior o
the delegates to the W. C. T. q. Conven-
ton was not all it should have been, but
nothing done in the convention showed un-
fitness on the part of those present
to deal in practical politics. On the
contrary Mrs. Foster conducted her
fight in the convention with all the latest
parliamentary dodges, and her opponents
opposed craft to craft, finally defeating Mrs.
Foster mainly by weight of numbers. If
women are kept out of the practical use Of
politics it will not be because they do not
understand how to conduct convention in
as noisy, turbulent and enthusiastic a
fashion as ever party OF men could.
The disposition of some women to make
a great deal of fuss about trifes, and to ex-
aggerate the importance of forms and petty
proprieties was as usual exhibited at the
convention. Wherever any number of
women are gathered together whether for
the purpose of discussing missions to the
heather, help to the poor, or politics for the
nation, some of them will be sure to quarrel
and dispute. This tendency was ferociously
exhibited by Mrs. Nee. Harris in her at.
tack upon Miss Daisy Stoddard, of'Ne-
braska, for daring to address the convention
in frills and white dress. The Nebraska
Daisy is only sixteen, and frills are natural
enough to girl of that age, but the conven-
ton applauded her suppression.

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY, NOV. II, 1889.
LESSON FOR ALDERMEN.

The conviction of Aldermen Doughty,
Callen and Maneese for conspiracy yester-
dav concludes a case of the utmost public
importance. The practical maintenance of
Justice in the primary courts, and the pro-
lection of the people against extortiOn and
imposition under the guise of legal authori-
tv, were at stake in this trial. and the result
is decidedly in the public interest.
The verdict Of the jury needs no indorse-
ment; but it is pertinent to say that any
other result would have been a failure of
Justice. The evidence left no reasonable
doubt that these officials had been engaged
in the extortion of illegal fees, had winked
at the arrest of people simply for the sake
of getting money out of them, and had gen.
erally conducted their Offices for purposes
of oppression and dishonesty, instead of for
iustIee and fairness. Such perversion of
Justice in the instrumentalities of law
strikes at the foundations of society, and
auy failure to punish when exposed would
have been a public calamity.
The conviction of these offenders should
certainly work decided reformation in the
methods of justice courts. People are gen.
erally informed Of the severe penalties that
can be applied to officials who misuse their
power. and the consequence is likely to be
exceedingly careful conduct on the part Of
those officials in the future.

INADVERTFNT VERAcITY.

The reported admission by counsel for the
Bell Telephone Company, of Boston, that
the Drawbaugh invention had priority, puts
the legal tactics BY which the Bell patents
have been sustained in a most remarkable
light. For years the Bell company have
been asserting in the courts the priority of
their invention. They have defeated Draw
baugh in one suit, and now it appears, by a
blunder into veracity on the part of their
LAWYER, that all this contention was a per-
sistent lie, well stuck to for the sake of
holding on to the immense revenues derived
from the patents. In case the story is true,
the position of those who have maintained
the priority of the Bell patents may be
doubtful before the law; but in morals it is
beyond question. The men who stick to
falsehood to hold immense fortunes that do
not belong to them are simply dishonest on
a colossal scale.

BRAzTrs RFAcTIoNARY REVOLUTION.

The dispatches of yesterday confirm the
reports of a revolutionary movement in
Brazil, which is at least temporarily sue
cessful in establishing a republic and de-
posing Dom Pedro. 1t is also shown, as
conjectured In these columns yesterday, that
the republic, far from being a popular
movement for the establishment of greater
freedom, is a revolt of the late slave-holding
element against the liberal Government
which has given them representation for
many years, and the offense of which is the
recent emancipation of TIM Brazilian slaves.
Upon such basis the revolution, while
commanding little sympathy in this country
or in Europe, probably has stronger
foundation than could be possible elsewhere.
All the intelligence and political power of
the country, outside of the deposed Govern
ment, is comprised within the classes that
have recently lost their slaves. II that class
is united against the Government it prob
ably includes the great mass of the wealth
and education of the country, with not much
more to oppose it than the influence of the
late Government backed by the mass of
ignorance just emerged from slavery. If
any considerable portion of the intelligent
population supports Dom Pedro and bis
daughter. their restoration to power may be
easy.
The outbreak of this revolution concur
rently with that reported from Venezuela,
may have dampening effect on the utility
of the Pan-American Congress. 1t is to be
hoped that in the era of the development of
American relations, the South American
Governments, and especially one so liberal
as that of Dom Pedro, can prove 10 stand
on stable foundation,

RUsSIA'S BUSINESS.

If the unhappy victims of Russia's bar
barbarous tyranny are to be released from
Siberian torture, it will hardly be by the
interference of the United States. Some
kind but impractical Philadelphian has
started movement, however, to induce
Secretary Blaine to request the Russian
Government to treat its Siberian prisoners
better. We can imagine with what preeipi-
tate haste Mr.. Blaine will pigeon-hole that
petition. Mr.. Blaine may be in favor of
brilliant foreign policy, with plenty of dash
and color in it, but we fear he will hardly
see his way to advising the Gar as to how
to run his penal establishment.
And it is pretty certainly fact that
George Kennan. with his vigorous descrip-
ton of the shameful atrocities perpetrated
in the name of justice by Russian officials
is doing more to bring the Car to realiza-
ton of his terrible responsibility in the

MARES NEST SECRECY.

Announcements are now made of the
precautions which are to be taken by the
President to prevent the unbridled press
from getting hold of his forthcoming
message ahead of time. The hazard of
printing the message will not be accepted;
but the document in manuscript will be
copied by typewriter, and the copies SO
turned out sent to Congress before any
chance is afforded to get it into print.
All this fearful guarding of the secrets of
The message is unnecessary. That document
has been distributed, year after year, with
reliance on the good faith of officials and
press agencies; and only in few excep-
tional cases has that reliance been mis-
placed. 1t will save time and trouble for
the Presidents message to take the usual
course, and the resolution to do otherwise
will indicate striking tendency to make
great iuss over little things.
Beyond that, the cases in which the Presi-
dents message has got into the papers ahead
of its presentation to Congress suggests the
pertinent question as to the need of all these
precautions. What great evil befell the

Bank Clerks Error Made Him $4,000
Richer for Few Hours.
NEW YORK, November 15.-Solomon Lalz, of
No. 24O East Forty-ninth street. juror serving
in the Court Of General Sessions, was made a
wealthy man for few hours by the mistake of
bank clerk, but has now resumed his normal
condition. On Wednesday while serving in
court ne received notice that his agents had
disposed of some of his property uptown for
$4,000 He got excused by the Judge, and,
after receiving two checks-one for S14. 600 and
one for S6,O00-hasteped to trust company and
deposited them, getting in return certificate
OF deposit. he put it in his pocket without
looking at it. When he got home he found the
certificate was for S74.O00, making him just
S54, OOO richer than he supposed he was.
He called at the bank yesterday morning to
inquire how he had become suddenly SO
wealthy. He found the clerk in a great state
of CONSERVATION. He had discovered that in
adding the two checks together he had taken
the 5000 check for $50 000 That mistake was
quickly corrected, although it was not banking
hours.

nation as a result of these premature publi-
cations? Was Congress u4able to dispose Of
the questions presented for its action be-
cause the newspapers published the message
day too soon? Was the administration
thrown into paralysis by the disclosure of
its views 24 hours sooner than was intended?
We do not seem TO remember that such evils
were more noticeable in the years when the
message got out ahead of time than at
other times.
The necessity of guarding the message
is generally put upon the ground of respect
to Congress; but could there be any truer
respect to Congress than to let its members
have an opportunity to read over the docu-
ment at their leisure before they have it
formally submitted to them?
