AMENDING TIE ROAD LAW,

Now that everybody is interested in legis-
lation for good roads, it Is well to see how
far what has been proposed can be improved
upon. Our attention is called to some i'm
portant points of difference between the
State Commissions bill and the other bill
from the Engineers Society, both of which
were recently published in THE DISPATCH,
the first in full, the second in substance.
While making unreserved acknowledgment
of the earnestness of the commission, and of
the extent of its Investigations, it is we'll to
note that the Engineers Society is COM
posed altogether of professional men who
possess special and technical knowledge
of the subject in hand. This is appre-
ciated by the commission itself, as
shown in the adoption by that body
of many of the ideas which the engineers
put forth.
There might, however, be further en-
bodiment of these ideas in the new law with
pronounced advantage to its workings.
Thus the plan of classification of thorough
fares into highways and township roads is
an excellent one, and much better provided
IOi Wy pioPoooA ehoh W 'aS
commission bill The idea is that the coun-
ties of the State shall keep up the high
ways, and the townships sustain their own
local roads. To regulate this division, the
engineers propose body in each county to
control, composed of representatives duly
elected by the township, the County Com
missioners and the County Engineer. Also,
they urge that the road directors or super
visors should act as viewers for the opening
of new roads in the townships in place OF
following the slow and unsatisfactory pro-
cess now in vogue of having inexperienced
men appointed by the courts for each case.
The State commissions bill contemplates
the office of viewer as a sort of honorary
function; while the engineers bill provides
a per diem compensation and mileage for
active duty.
AS the credit OF securing good working
law for our country roads which SO badly
needs one, will devolve very largely upon the
commission, we presume that body Will not
take amiss any reference to source from
which it can gather new ideas. On the con-
trary, when its attention is so directed, it will
doubtless gladly avail itself of any sugges-
tions that are useful for the amendment OF
the draft which has been presented to the
Legislature.

PITTsBURG'S FOUNDRY GIRLS.

In another column we print an extract
frou an article in the New York Commercial
Advertiser on women workers. Our
esteemed cotemporarv is not accurately in
formed in regard to our foundry girls. |"
1t is true large number OF young women
are employed in various mills in this city,
but they are chiefly engaged in operating
machines. They do not supplant men,
particularly. A great many of them are
employed in the places of boys of too tender
age to be permitted to do the work
under the factory law of 1887. The girls, as
a rule, are very healthy, much more SO than
the salesladies. There are no such ''caste''
Distinctions, so far as we know, as our cotem-
porary speaks of. The foundry girls
work IN the nail mills as we'll as the nu.
and bolt works, and any early riser in this
city may See ladies driving trucks, on the
streets leading to the markets, quite as
skillfully as men. There is no disgrace in
il, either. Many of these foundry girls
and lady truck drivers are educated and
clever, and, dressed up after their work,
very fair to look upon.

the race question, with an impeachment of
the accuracy of the census. But there are
two answers to such an argument An in
accurate census could not, except by design.
confine its shortages so exclusively to the
colored population, as TO produce this result
The second is that the evidence of the sta
tistics for the past decade agrees with that
of the previous decades. General f. A.
Walker has shown from an analysis of all
the United States censuses that, though
every census shows an increase in the colored
population, the increase has been less than
that of the total population, and the proper
tion of the colored population has steadily
shrunk. Moreover, while the proportion of
growth for the whole country has ranged
from about 40 per cent in early times down
to 2S per cent by the last census, the increase
in the colored population was but 10 per
cent in the early part of the century, and
has been since the war but 13 or IA per cent
for each decade.
1t thus apperrs that our Southern friends
can regard themselves as relieved from their
dark-hued nightmare of an overwhelming
growth of the negroes. They can rest as
sured that the patient labor of the South is
not going to crowd them off the continent,
and can therefore afford to treat it with for
bearance and justice.

SEWAGE AND WATER SUPPLY.

Some startling revelations were made at
the meeting of representatives OF Western
Pennsylvania water companies, yesterday,
regarding the pollution of streams and
drinking water The most alarming state
ment TO this locality was that of the Indiana
county man regarding the waters Of the
Eiskiminetas river during last summer
The Kiskiminetas water flows into the Allie
ghenv not many miles above the infuent
pipes of the Pittsburg and Allegheny City
water works. OF course it loses something
of its foul character by dilution and precipi-
tation before reaching here, but water foul
enough to kill cattle needs a great deal of
publication before it is fit for people to
drink.
There is urgent necessity for reform in the
matter of sewage and water supply. The
filter systems used by some cities are good as
far as they go, but no filter removes microbes
such as the typhoid fever germs. The New
York law applying to villages in that State is
good one as it provides for movable recep-
tacles for all sewage, which are regularly
dumped on the public garbage ground or
converted into fertilizer. There is no pollu-
ton OF water by the boroughs of New York.
This system could be extended 10 cities with
the beneficial results of keeping the contain
ination from the water supply, creating an
industry In the preparation of fertilizer, and
afording the agricultural population q
cheap fertilizing agent. 1t is all the more
commendable because it is self-supporting

THE TOPICAL TALKER.
Exhausted His Patience.

Every man has his exploding point" said
an old river captain yesterday. The patient
est man won't stand deverything-there is a limit
to his endurance. Now, there's Sam. on my
boat-been with me off an on these 25 year.
He's got the patience of Job, and more, too. L
never saw him angry but once. He'll work all
day an all night, won't grumble or growl if
he's docked his grub. or the fog's extra thick
or he's wet to the skin with the mercury be-
low zero. In fact. I'd got to believe that moth
ing could rile Sam.
Last fall went with big crowd of English
and German iron men up the river to see the
Carnegie mills at Braddock. 1t wasn't my
boat but Sam happened to be on board lending
the foreigners all crowded to the bow of the
boat and got on the gang plank. Sam and
couple of other hands, after the boat was tied
up, tried TO get the people off tie gang
plank. But they were in such a
hurry to get ashore that they took no notice of
the request, but kept crowding to the side Of
the boat. L heard Sam begging individuals
politely to stand aside, and saw the same in
dividuals step back as soon as Sam passed.
About five minutes passed, and the captain
from the upper deck shouted orders to Sam,
went on trying to move the thu ong back, so that
he could run the plank ashore. But the crowd
was immovable. 1t was too much for Sans
patience. He exploded. Addressing the En-
glish lords and gentlemen and their German
confreres, he shouted as loud as he could

NO OIL FAMINE IMMINENT.

Biologists have given so many opinions
regarding oil and gas that they have fallen
somewhat into disrepute with the practical
prospectors for these products. Their par
ticular hobby has been the vanishing
phenomenon" character of these useful
hydrocarbons. The practical producer,
however, has never taken enough notice of
scientific predictions to stop his search
for the vanishing wealth. In one
sense the geologists are right. Oil and gas
fields eventually become exhausted. But
new fields are discovered, and there is no
particular cause to fear an oil famine in the
near future. Localities now producing
will be drained dry. Their wealth will be
extracted. But the cause of humanity will
still be served with cheap and efficient light
for the masses, drawn from other reservoirs.
