ton of a monument to colored soldiers
killed in the war. Miller has large
ideas about other peoples money.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ROAD QUESTION.

In addition to the experiences of THE
DIsPATCH's road expedition, which has
found good, wide roads in Erie county,
poor ones in Warren, notwithstanding be-
quests to keep them in repair, and still
worse in Forest, with the exception of a
street macadamized with blue fagstone,
will be found elsewhere thoughtful letter
on the Importance of the whole subject.
The arguments which are thoroughly re-
viewed in that contribution have been here
tofore more briefly pointed out in THE DIS
PATCH. 1t is worth while in this connec-
tion to specify another one which fully JUS
fes the agitation of the question. Un-
der the present system not only the
farmers themselves but all branches of busi-
ness related to the work of moving their
crops or furnishieg them with supplies.
find the work packed into few short periods
OF each year. In the winter the farmer can
not get to the railroads with heavy load.
In the summer he is busy for most of the
season with the tillage of his farm. The
consequence is that trade with that great
fundamental industry must be rushed
through in the few short periods which the
farmer can spare from his work while the
roads are good.
With good roads this work could be e1-
tended throughout the entire winter season.
That one fact alone should make all classes
ready TO support the movement for good
roads

THE DISPATCH EXPEDITION.

Que of the Many Enterprises Started and
Carried Through by This Journal.
From the Meadville Gazette
The road expedition of THE PITTsBURG
DISPATCH entered Meadville Tuesday noon,
coming in on the Franklin turnpike. 1t con-
sists Of a two-horse covered road wagon of the
usual pattern. The object is an investigation
of the public roads. The result of this investi
cation is published in THE DISPATCH from
time to time and is quite an interesting as well
as novel feature of that enterprising journal.
Mr.. stofiel called at the principal newspaper
office of our city, and was shown around by
the editor of the Gazette. He was highly de-
lighted with view of the original painting,
working Out the Road Tax" by A. G. Rich
mond. ESQ.,, who presented to him photograph
of the same.
Mr.. Stofel says Crawford and Mercer coun-
ties have the best roads he has found, though
they have the poorest material to make them
with. In Greene county, where limestone
abounds and road-making Is easy the poorest
roads exist. This interest in the public roads
shown by THE DISPATCH is simply one of the
evidences that the managers of that paper are
alive to the interests of their readers 1t is one
of the many enterprises undertaken and sue
cessfully carried out by that paper, and will
account for its rapidly increasing circulation
all over the State The expedition pulled out
of this harbor at P. M. and steamed away
toward Cory. The captain of the craft is
''sad sea dog" and there is nothing, not even
the name of Peiffer, which can bring smile to
his lips.

CHARLEsTON's ADVANTAGE.

1t is rather interesting fact that while, in
the past, Pittsburg has tried to secure the
construction of a belt line of tracks, by
which ali competing railroads could gain
access to different parts of the city, and
failed in the attempt; and while Philadei-
phia is making similar attempt to secure
free access to her water front, with rather
dubious chances of success, Charleston, S.
c., has just granted the franchise for line
of that sort which will furnish perpetual
access to its wharves Tor every railroad that
may, now or hereafter, reach that city. In
doing this Charleston has secured its future.
1t has guarded against the condition which
was expressed only short time ago by
railroad official, who said that Pittsburg has
business for more competing railroads, but
that all the routes for reaching the city are
occupied. 1t is to be concluded that
Charleston enjoys the advantage of munich
pal rulers who are more anxious to preserve
the future of the city than to serve the
schemes of dominant corporations.

SANTA FK, n. NJ, April 2S.-There arrived at
Santa Fe last week for it's new owner. Mr..
Thomas B. Catron, one of the most valuable
libraries ever formed in America 1t formerly
belonged to Father Augustine Fischer, late
private secretary of the unfortunate Emperor
Macmillan. Father Fischer was one of the
most expert bibliophiles ON the American con-
tinent The library purchased by Mr.. Catron
consists of about 8, coo volumes and as the books
which Father Fischer previously sold at
different times are widely scattered having
been disposed of to various parties and
at different times, Santa Fe may boast
of having the only complete "t ischer library
to the City of Mexico and had the library
bought and shipped to Santa Fe, many were
the regrets expressed in Mexico at this pur.
chase by an American of a library so rich in
"Mexicana," but the regrets came too late For
more than two years it was well known that the
books were for sale. and only a few copies of
sermons some yocabularies, ETC., could the

the bulk was left untouched.
Among the many rare works contained in the
collection are two copies of the "Escudo de

the "Recopilation de Indias, f" the rare Mexican
photography of Bishop Eguiara, etc. In addi-
tiOn to the prints there is a considerable num-

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.

The time draws near for the first actual
execution by electricity in New York. The
expectation is that during the present day
Kemmler will have undergone that dread
experience and the inability on his part to
communicate it, will leave the world just
about as well informed on its relative
merits of the new form of legal death as
compared with hanging, as it now is. This
fact appears to make speculation as to
whether the new execution is better than
the old, wholly useless. The question as to
whether electricity will kill or not, has
been too often answered by exposed electric
light wires to be in doubt now. 1t is certain
that the new death will be more sudden and
sure than the old one. With that knowl-
edge we are permitted to hope that it will
be more merciful.

GOOD TIDINGs FOR PITTsBURG.

The proposition to present Mr.. Edward
Scbeuley with the freedom of the city and
to hold an official reception in his honor is
sign Of the general appreciation of the
vast importance of visit to the city of a
representative of the Schenley estate for the
purpose of planning Improvements to the
property. Certainly the promise of great
local benefits is so definite as TO warrant
public and enthusiastic recognition.
The nature and value of the improve
ments that may be hoped for from Mr..
Schenlev's visit can be seen from the inter-
view with him elsewhere. When that gen.
tleman saw the condition of that portion of
the Schenley estate lying in the rear of the
Court House, along the Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl and St. Louis Railway, he had no diff
Guilty in perceiving the field for improve
ment there. He had less clear idea of what
should be done at the Point; but when
that section is studied it will not be difficult
to see that it is the natural site for large
wholesale warehouses. With the proper
buildings there, our wholesale and ware
house interests, that are now crowded, could
find accommodations or vast traffic, and
the income from that section when fully i'm
proved would dwarf that of q European
prineipality.
1t is no wonder that our city should wax
enthusiastic over the prospect that these
portions of the city, which have heretofore
Jagged behind the rest of the community,
are now to be placed in the front rank of
improvement. How beautiful upon the hill
tops are the feet of him that bringeth these
good tidings to Pittsburg!
