CONVICT LABOR AND THE ROADS.

The correspondent who proposes, in q
communication elsewhere, to have a stone
yard in every prison, almshouse, Jail and
workhouse in the State, and to keep the Z. 400
convicts at work constantly at breaking
stone for macadamizing the roads, has very
positive ideas on the use of convict labor.
but there are some practical difficulties to
his plan.
The most obvious and vital of these is the
expense of taking stone suitable for macad.
amizing to the prison yards, and thence to
the place of repair on the roads. The cor
respondent puts this cost at 80 cents a ton;
but when we remember that some Of the
prisons may be forty or fifty miles away
from the deposits of such stone, and that the
roads to be repaired may be as far from the
prisons, it is quite clear that the cost of
hauling might be many times that estimate.
If convict labor cannot be humanely and
economically used for the repair of the roads
at the place where the work is to be done,
other labor must be relied upon to do it,

THE EINFLuENCE OF spnnKs

At first glance it seems extraordinary that
6 man of brains, education and social stand
ing should get into the clutches of a
spiritualist medium or a spook priestess.
How did a common, vulgar eharlstan like
the Princess Anne O'Della capture one of
the shrewdest lawyers in New York City?
How does another spook priestess appro-
priately named Fanny Stryker, keep her
bold, as related in The DISPATCH, upon
other clear-headed business men in New
YORK? A century ago people would have
whispered "Witchcraft," and comfortably
composed themselves in the view that these
women got their power from their knowledge
Of the black art. We know better than that
now, but some of us are inclined to attribute
far more power to mediums and dealers in
spiritualism than they really possess.
These professional seers and purvevors of
Spooks work no wonders. They are simply
bunko-steerers and adventuresses who travel
little out Of the beaten track. They do
not practice upon the credulity of man
merely; they appeal to his lowest tastes and
and Illegal desires The wealthy and the

A WISE POLICY,

In local article on the progress of work
In the convention of the Amalgamated As
sociation, the policy of the association is out
lined as promising long-deferred Justice to
Pittsburg. That is contained in the resolu-
tion to leave the boiling scale for Pittsburg
and the West at S. so per ton, while the
organization which has been effected in the
East deyotes its efforts to raising the So 30
and 81 rates which prevail in that locality.
This is not only justice to Pittsburg, but
is the best policy for the iron workers. Our
iron manufacturers have been able to pay
u 30 to s. per ton more for pudding than
the East mills on account of their great ad-
Tantages in fuel and other prime factors in
iron manufacture. But such difference in
wages prevents Pittsburg from obtaining
the full benefit of her advantages; and it
does more than that in preventing the iron
workers, taken as a whole, from getting
their full share of that benefit.
This will be apparent on a little consider
alton of the subject If the Eastern mills
that are paying s. so per ton can give the
same wages as Pittsburg, they are simply
given an advantage of 50 90 per ton for
which there is not the slightest reason. But
If they cannot pay such wages then the ad-
vantage becomes one given to permit the
manufacture Of just so much iron at the
point where the lowest wages must be paid.
IF they could not keep in operation the iron
which they monufacture would be made at
the places where higher wages are paid,
and there can hardly be any more far
sighted policy on the part of the Amalga-
mated Association than to concentrate the
iron industry in the localities which yield
the best wages.
No one, of course, expects Pittsburg wages
to be reduced as long as the present era of |
prosperity lasts, But the movement to raise |
wages in the East to something more nearly |
approaching an equality with our scale is
one with which all can sympathize.

A CHANCE NOW FOR DIRECT VOTING,

By far the most important action of the
Allegheny mass meeting Saturday night
was the unanimous adoption of Mr.. Ken
nedy's resolution to substitute direct pop
ular vote at primaries, Sor the tricky dele
gate system. That resolution strikes at the
root of such abuses as the meeting was called
to protest against. 1t will also, if carried
out, extirpate many other tendencies which
are the subject of loud and frequent com
plant.
But will the County Committee heed this
demand for a popular vote, and for
the abolition of the wire-puIling
delegate system? That depends. Ii
the people of the Twenty-third dis
trict are in earnest, and speak loudly
enough, the committee will heed the pro-
test, and will begin, as it should, by order
ing the new primaries on the basis of the
popular vote direct for the candidates.
But if the parties who got up Saturday
nights meeting seem already to trim and
show signs of timidity and weakness about
insisting on the full demand of the meeting.
then the delegate system will doubtless be
continued by the committee as quite good
enough-and the public will hear nothing
more of voting direct, until the next bit of
sharp practice shall signalize some other
delegate convention.
Whether the action of the Carnegie Hall
meeting is, or is not to amount to anything
at ali, depends wholly upon what is done
with the resolution which was proposed by
Mr.. Kennedy and adopted by the gathering.
Should the demand for direct popular vote
for candidate at the primaries be carried
out, all causes for future complaint are
thereby removed. Colonel Stones with
drawal had already conceded everything
else, even before the meeting convened. On
the other hand, so long as the delegate sys-
TEN is continued, sharp practice, bargaining,
wire pulling and all the tricks of the politi-
cal trade will be just as feasible and as likely
TO be put in practice in the new canvass as
IN the old.

That Road Question.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch;
Here are some suggestions for permanently
improving the county roads:
First-Have q stoneyard adjoining every jail,
workhouse, almshouse and penitentiary in the
State.
Second-The average per cent of criminals In
this country being to each ], 500 OF the popula-
tion, gives about 8, 400 professionals" to board
at the State hotels in the keystone State"
and swing six-pound hammer eight hours
Gay In the stoneyard for the benefit of the State
roads-macadamizing the principal ones.
Third-Thirty-four hundred men working
eignt hours day 300 days in the year will break
stone enough to macadamize about 400 miles of
Ioad, allowing ton of broken stone to every
swollneal feet, and one ton per day to each man.
rourtn-It would be much better for the gen.
eral welfare Of all of the criminals and paupers
VINO are able to work. to break stone from two
" eignt hours dey-the sickly ones working
swo OF tnree hours. and the able-bodied men six
W signt hours daily, except Sundays.

IN .ne yard to the necessary place of repair on

Peciaily In the winter season, and at odd spells

oeVentn-The Government should control all

pie-oown toll-gate, and compel wet, half-fro-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
Boston, June 81. A. Rose. spiritualistic
medium, is under arrest here on a charge Of
larceny. The game which he played was some
thing entirely new in the spirirualistic world.
Two German bakers Of South Boston, named
Berlo and Super were the victims. Their
bakery did not pan out very well, and they ap-
pealed to Rose for assistance from the spirit
land. Acting under orders from Rose three
small tin boxes were procured in which Berlo
and Stuper placed respectively s175, Sl25 and
Sl0O. The sealed boxes were to be endowed
with the divine power by DR.. Rose, and when
sion,
Upon three successive occasions Rose was
left with the boxes and went into a state of
trance upon each occasion. Rose admits in
some mysterious manner beyond his power of
explanation the money from one of the tin
boxes found its way to his pocket Three
months have been occupied in the experiment
which has proved q failure as far as increasing
the business of the bakery Is concerned. To-
day Mr.. Berlo became skeptical and opened the
boxes only to find that their contents had dis
appeared. Rose calls it divine intervention,
but the losers swear that 1t is plain larceny.
Rose claims that he is ready to refund the
money, but just the same he was taken into
court this morning and held for examination
