MR.. INGALLS, EPIGRAMS.

"The publication of politics is an irides-
cent dream" This is an epigram of Sena-
tor Ingalls, making. The Kansas states
man is hardly an ideal authority to consult
upon purity in politics. In fact, he is not a
very good counselor on any subject. He is
too fond of coming and uttering epigrams.
Probably he has good stock of common
sense in some retired cupboard of his mind.
But he does not use it. Common sense,
Judgment, truth and knowledge, he is will
ing to sacrifice them all to sharpen the point
of single epigram. So he comes to call
the publication of politics an iridescent
dream, and to declare that "the decalogue
and the golden rule have no place in po-
litical campaign" which he COM
pares by eplgram again to war, with
its license ''to deceive the adverse
ry, to hire HessIans, to purchase
mercenaries, to mutilate, to kill, to destroy"
1t would not be safe for Ingalls, to apostro-
phize his mother in an epigram. Chance
shapes the point of his sayings. We are
not so unkind as to imagine that Mr.. In
gals, in his heart of hearts, believes all the
rubbishy, vicious stuff he utters He has
an insane delight in making aphorisms out
his large vocabulary. Apparently he can
not help it.
Mr.. Ingalls, fellow countrymen need not
abandon the fight for purer politics because
the Kansas Senator remarks that it has the
qualities of rainbow. The bow OF nope
will not cease to glitter above the political
horizon because Mr.. ingalls, throws an cpl
gram at it. The honesty of man like ex-
President Cleveland may be ponderous, and
that gentleman's general inclination toward
cleaner politics may torment Mr.. ingalls,,
but the majority of men will refuse for those
reasons TO throw political decencv and hon.
esty overheard. Finally facts will stay facts
in spite of all epigrams to the contrary.
Mr.. Ingalls, liver is sureharged. An cpl
gram of calomeI might be a relief.

PLAYS TO COME.

AT the Bijou Theater next week we are to
have a spectacular revival of Alexander
Dumas famous romance, "The Corsican
Brothers," and Adolphe D'Ennery's heroic
drama, 'Monbars." with the talented young
actor, Robert Mantel, in the title roles. In both
these plays, Mr.. Mantell has gained the ap-
proval of our most conscientious critics. and
the patrons of this popular play house may look
forward to a series of finely finished perform
ances. 1t has been decided to produce both
plays, so as to give theater-goers an opportunity
of studying Mr.. MantelPs style of acting, which,
as those who saw him when he was here with
Miss Fanny Davenport some years ago, will re.
member, differs from the work of other roman
tic actors. Mr.. Mantell has the reputation of
being one of the most natural and graceful
actors on the stage. Seats are now on sale at
the box office for both these plays.
THOMAS W. KEENE will be at the Grand
Opera House next week, opening on Monday
night with Louis XI," to be followed by
"Rchard ILL.," "Richelieu." "Othello" and
"The Merchant of Venice" 1t will be inter-
esting to contrast the several interpretations
as well as to note their individual merit to see
how well a single person can give such power
full and leading roles in such close succession
1t would be test of the vitality of q dozen
Salvin1s.

WOMEN REFORMERS.

The women of the town of Edgerton, Kan,
are in high feather. They have reason to
be. Last week they elected the entire mu-
nicipal ticket. Every candidate was a
woman, and accordingly Edgerton's Mayor,
Police Judge, Council and City Clerk will
shortly be of the fair sex. The women S
ticket was elected on platform of radical
reform. The saloons of Edgerton had de-
fed the best elements of the community, and
the women started out to clean the town.
The men and the saloon keepers did not be-
lieve that women were in earnest, and they
made light of the campaign of reform.
But in Kansas a woman's vote is as good
as mans in municipal elections, and they
voted with splendid unanimity. They also
took care to corral their male relations and
friends. Victory perched upon their ban
ners. And the saloon keepers are leaving
the town.
In Pittsburg the situation is not the same.
The principal popular cry to be heard just
now is for more saloons. Reform campaigns
ere not in fashion. The women are not
moving in politics as much as they did. In
fact, Edgerton, Kan, seems to be ahead in
some moral aspects.

RAILWAYS AND ROADS.

The improvement of country roads is a
matter which interests everybody. The
RdilaUay Register points out why 1t is to the
interest of railways to have good rural
roads. We may quote one of the reasons:
'The ability OF a community to get to
market at all seasons of the year will cause a
steadier flow of traffic to the railway line,
making the dull season less dull and the
busy season less importunate in its demands
for facilities"
Upon the VandaIia system some years ago
it was proposed to haul gravel free in order
that the farmers along its line might con-
struct and maintain such roads as would en-
able them to convey their produce to the sta
tions on the railway. We do not know
whether the experiment was made, or with
what results, but good roads undoubtedly
tend to make region prosperous, and the
railway shares in that prosperity.

a QUESTION For MRS. LESLIE

In a letter published some time ago Mrs.
Frank Leslie said: 81 would like to be a
man for little while that 1 might make
love to at least two or three women" This
is 4 rather quaint desire, exhibiting the
1ady's ignorance of the great passion. Per-
haps Mrs Leslie did no harm in wanting to
be man with three sweethearts, because
her desire could not be gratifed anyhow.
But she NAV congratulate herself that it is
not possible for her to make the experiment
Her sex saves her from peck of trouble in
this instance.
A Connecticut man has followed pro-
gramme similar to that which Mrs. Leslie
would follow were she a man, that is to say,
he has made love to two or three women,
and he asks our esteemed cotemporary, the
New York Sun, to tell him how to get out
of the consequences. "Prav, what would
Mrs. Leslie do with herself or the two or
three women after she had made love to
them?" he asks. The Sun has very little
com iort to give him.
We are inclined to think that the lively
and imaginative Mrs. Leslie cannot answer
this question satisfactorily. If she were a
man she would know that to make love to
one woman is no small undertaking, and
that to make love TO three at once can only
bring the maker to great grief at last.

AN EXPERT ON THE TUBA.

The Collector of the Port OF New York
has decided that the English E. fiat tuba
PLAYER imported by Mr.. P. T. Barnum is an
artist in the meaning intended by the Alien
Contract Labor Law and so not liable 20 ex-
clusion from this country. Evidence was
produced to show that this musician was an
expert player upon the tuba. 1t is tolerably
safe to assume that the Strauss orchestra,
which it was feared would have trouble in
landing, will be allowed to pass unmolested.
Musicians who come here under contract
will have to show that they are experts and
so ''artists." The bad musicians, the mur-
derers of harmony, will be allowed to enter
as heretofore without question, so long as
they have no contract with any American.
With regard to the tuba player who has
been admitted we do not know that there is
any particular cause for rejoicing. He is an
expert with the tuba we are told, as il that
were recommendation. Do you remember
what the Mikado said when be heard that
his son, in the disguise OF a second trombone
player, had been executed? Perhaps it

Meeting With Plenty of Adventure.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The road exploring expedition sent out by
THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH is meeting with
plenty of adventure. The diary kept by its
chief abounds with records of repair and of the
purchase of rope with which to get the wagon
out of mud holes. Near Canonsburg a caravan
of five canvas wagons was met. They formed
the outfit of three families from Illinois, once
prosperous farmers, now practically gypsies.
They slept in their wagons at night and in the
daytime the women begged from farm to farm
that is. two of them did, for the third one was
sick unto death in one of the wretched vehicles.
The emigrants had been thI ee weeks on the
way and had found comparatively good roads
until they entered Pennsylvania. Thereafter
they had endured terrible struggle with the
mud. They hoped TO find employment ard
homes in Pittsburg. THE DISPATCH party
struck an excellent piece of road in Washing
ton county. although they passed through five
toll-gates in SO miles. IL was part of the old
national road constructed by the Government
at the instigation of Henry Clay. The Dis
PATCH man calls it ''magniicently preserved
highway"

A CONSERVATIVES COURSE.

The course of the railroad yard men, in
presenting their claims to the officers of the
companies, turns out TO be more conserva-
tive than was foreshadowed by the earliest
reports. Whether by error of the statements,
or bv the heated talk of some of the men,
the impression was clearly conveyed that a
strike was threatened It the end OF twenty
four hours If the demands of the men were
not granted. This would not only have
been decidedly peremptory, but contrary to
the rules OF the best labor organizations. 1t
is fair to say that the men have presented
their claims without any such threat and
are at present calmly leaving the matter to
the consideration OF the railroad officials
That puts them in much more conservative
and discreet attitude than the one with
which they were first credited. 1t leaves
the subject open for mutual conferences,
with view to attaining a satisfactory COM
promise. 1t is to be hoped that both sides
will work together to secure that result.

INCREASED PIG IRON PRODUCTION.

The statistics of pig iron production show
that the output Of that staple for the first
three months of 1890 is q per cent. greater
than for the same period in the preceding
year. This is decided corroboration of the
position which The DISPATCH has taken
that there was such capacity of blast
furnace production, ready to go into operation
on every appreciation of prices, as to make
boom in iron practically impossible. The
increased output of pig iron also has a very
positive relation with the maintenance of
present prices. A material expansion of the
railroad consumption of iron is looked for
this year, which is likely to absorb the In
creased production OF pig metal. But when
production is enhanced in antici patton of
the demand, it is reasonable to inquire
whether the process of enhancing the cost
of the raw materials for that staple has not
been carried as far as is consistent with
wise provision for the future.
