Injustice to Women.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
In your issue of November II, you say, in
Politicians but women still:' 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 quar-
rel and dispute" AS general thing you take a
just and fair-sided view of things, but in this
assertion you are unjust. as the following will
show:
In 1S63a band of leading ladies, in this city,
formed "The Pittsburg Association for the Re-
lief OF the Poor" with Mrs Harmar Denny
President; Mrs. Johr Shoenberger, Vice Presi-
dent; Mrs Levi Wade, Secretary, and Mrs.
John Harper, Treasurer For 13 years this
noble band or women labored on together,
with very few changes in their board of officers
and managers, In perfect and uninterrupted
harmony; they performing all the work of the
association themselves without remuneration.
At that time the Secretary, who had filed the
ofnce from the organization of the society," the
onerous duties of which had impaired her
health, was compelled to resign, and the asso-
citation decided to disband.
From the very beginning of the 13 years of
Its existence to the day it closed its WORK, not
one word OF dissension or quarrel and dis
officers and managers of the "Pittsburg Asso-
citation for the Relief of the Poor" The same
may be said of the board of the Home for the
Friendless,n where, during ten years member

ATFRRTRLF ASSERTION.

Speaking of the tragedy that occurred
last week in the streets of New York, in
which a maddened woman shot and killed
man who she claims to have done her an
awful injury, the New York Herald editori-
ally says: "She tried to get justice in the
courts, butt is a pitiable confession
what are our courts good for when a rich
man with powerful influence defends him
self against pen qiless woman who has sur
rendered her good name?" As if that were
NOT enough the Herald adds: ''Wealth can
whistle all fear of being caught down the
wind. for the laws delays are purchasabie
commodity"
Is it indeed SO? There have been reasons
for the suspicion that law was at the dispos-
al of the longest purse rather than the
justest cause, but the statement has never
been made SO fatty by an authority of such
standing. If it is true, as the Herald as
serts, that wronged woman cannot obtain
redress in the courts for wrong inflicted by
q rich man, it should be said that govern
the term justice is a mockery. A worse
charge could not be brought against the
most brutal tyranny that Old World history
can furnish. Whatever foundation there is
for such an assertion makes it imperative
that the whole country shall unite in de-
manding system of justice that defends
the weak against the strong and the poor
against the rich.
Ifthis assertion that "wealth can whistle
all fear of being caught down the wind'' is
3 fact, the worst things that the Anarchists
can say of our laws are none too severe.

EXPERT IN CONTRADICTION.

Expert witnesses in criminal cases are
seldom useful for any purpose beyond be-
Jogging the issue. This has been exempli-
fed over and over again, but seldom more
cogently than in the trial of the men &C
cused of numbering DR.. Cronin. The prose-
cution introduced expert testimony first.
The States attorneys desired to establish
the fact that the blood in the Carlson cot
tage and the famous trunk was human, and
that hair precisely like DR.. Cronin's had
been found in the trunk and on a piece of
soap in the Carlson cottage. Several mic
roscopists of the highest reputation swore to
these facts without the least hesitation.
Their evidence was Of course valuable to the
prosecution until the defense trotted out an
equally distinguished corps of microscop.
lists who swore that it was impossible
to distinguish human from any other
mammals blood, and that it was not in any
mans power to say that the hair In question
belonged to DR.. Cronin. This was point
for the defense, though less than it would
have been for the prosecution had the first
set OF scientists been undisturbed.
There was nothing to prevent Mr.. Longe-
necker's introducing third battery of mi
croscopists to confirm the conclusions of the
first battery; nothing, that is, but the GER
tainty that the prisoners counsel would in
evitably produce a new contingent of learned
men to upset their predecessors testimony.
The fact is expert testimony in ten cases out
of dozen is bound to be boomerang. In
many cases the expert regards it as more i'm
portant to pick holes in some other experts
evidence than to throw light upon the SUBJ
ject in hand. So the testimony of these ex-
ceptionally wise men has come to be
dreaded rather than desired by the con-
ductors of criminal cases.

Western lands as near to market as the more
expensive Eastern farms is beginning to
show its legitimate result. It transfers pro-
duction from the East to the West and calls
for the wasted effort involved in the trans
portation of cereal products from Minnesota
and Nebraska that might be produced in
New York or Pennsylvania. Under such
circumstances is it any wonder that Eastern
farms which are being abandoned, will not
bear the cost of making good roads?
OF course better roads made by the State
would be step toward giving the Eastern
farmer an advantage again. But is it not
plain that the true way to correct the matter
is to reform the main cause of the evil?

THE NEXT RAILROAD ENCOURAGEMENT.

There has of late been an apparent
tendency to give q new flip to the idea
which was mooted some years ago, Of count
ing the hours of the day from one up to
twenty-four, and doing away with the present
division OF dividing the day into parts of
twelve hours, respectively A. NJ. and P. M.
The chief reason advanced why we should
dine at about 10 o'clock instead Of P. NJ,
and go to the theater at 20 o'clock instead of
P. NJ is the difficulty which people ex-
perience in studying railroad time tables,
and the time spent in making certain
whether the hour for q given train is P. N.

With the New Park.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
As citizen Of Pittsburg, rejoice that we
have at last secured park, and. above all, that
so far there has been, as 1 believe, no jobbing
in it. Let us see that the enterprise be con-
Quoted, as 1t has been begun, clean and in the
special interest of no man or clique. That it
will necessarily benefit some men more than
others is freely granted, and is unavoidable
No r1ght-minded man will object to this What
wish to call attention to is the first question
which must be determined on. and one of the
most important. What shall be the main ac-
cess to the park for the throDgs from the cen
tral city, who would desire to enjoy its benefits?
l do not refer to the quasi-public approaches,
whether by steam or electric roads. They will
take care of themselves in the private hands
wnlcn now or may hereafter control them. But
mean the public highway which the city is
expected to lay of for public use in reaching
the park from the city
The proper location of this highway is, of
course; matter OF great pecuniary Importance
erty it shall be laid out, and here lies the dan
ger of improper, selfish influence being brought
TO pear IN the interest of particular individuals
but more Inan This, 1t is a matter Of very great
Importance to the city, not only as regards
pubic convenience of access, but also in a
hnanclal point of view. A Viaduct across Four
Mile run is necessary and must necessarily cost
ward has been spoken of, leaving Fifth avenue
near the Bellefeld Church This may in all
respects be best, ana have not word to say
against IL, not having the information on which
to form an opinion. But do say that, before
it DC determined on, an accurate survey should
be made, establishing level lines on both sides
OF the west branch of sFour-Mile run,
with the respective distances across,
so that it can be ascertained to a mathe-
matlcal certainty at what point this viaduct can
@ pc least s e1penslvely constructed That will
not, OF course, control the question, as other
points Will necessarily come up for considera-
tlon, chiefly as 20 the line of approach to this
viaduct from Fifth avenue and Forbes street.
But still, the bestand least expensive natural
LOCATION IS the hrst point to be ascertained.
say, therefore, in the interests of the city,
let there De no haste in concluding this ques-
tion, let the above data be all obtained and
made public. and then let an intelligent and
interested public opinion be brought to bear
on 1t, and doubtless it will be rightly deter
