GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

The convention which meets today at
the chamber OF commerce to consider
the question OF improving our highways
will marx an era of reform in this very
important public work which ought to
secure us good roade in the future and
ultimate economy in the enormous road
tax which is now frittsred away with
little or no beneficial result. We have
spent $3.50, 900 in the last ten years in
tinkering with our county roadS, and
what have we TO show for it2 1t ia
high time that this waateful and useless
system ahould give place to one based
npon eensibls, scientific and eeono;alc
principles. Ii is universally admitted
that we have the werat highways in the
world in the United States, and yet il
ia doubtful if any other country
spends 60 much money per mile In
their construction and maintenance.
The convention which commences its
session today will, without doubt, be at
tended by intelligent, representative mon
Of the county. They ought to be able
to take such action as will commend
itself to the good sense of the people o.
the county, and to take such steps at
will lead to radical reform in our sya'
TEN OF managing and constructing pub
lie roads. Legislation will be needed a
Sacramento to make the radical changes
that should be instituted, aud the in
telligent action We look for from this con
vention will have principal influence
in the passage OF a measure that will in
sure us greatly improved road system
in the future. The whole state, we are
happy to say, is aroused on this very
in portant subject.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1l,-An evening
paper publishes a sensational story to
the effect that representatives OF Secre-

ton of the plates of the monitor Monte

have the Carnegie infermsrs mark on
them the exact location of the weak
plates, and thus make easy the work OF
the Investigators. Oae OF the Off
cials making the investigation
is quoted as saying that places
have been found where the sheet
would have crum bed if struck by a
round shot, and that from present APP
pearances the vessel would not stand
ordinary fire. The final tests are to be
made after the informers have indicated
what plates are bad. 1t is claimed thai

Secretary Herbert and party arrived
today from the east and are at the

ONE of the many curious exposes
made by the last installment of the
grand jury's report duplicates Watson,
the superintendent OF sweets, in a very
shady transaction. The grand jurors
say:
Under Watson we find that at least
one laborer with team paid 30 cents a
day fer q six-months' position, amount
ing in all to $7S. Deputy Townsend of
the Changing was one who did this
assessing. He also collected the same
amount from each OF two other lsborers,
ostensibly TO pay to Watson to assist
him in making up the Stewart defslcs-
ton. Watson testifes that he never
received this money. but that he did
borrow 500 from Townsend and gave
him his note. Chief Deputy Riggs is
implicated in this practice. Townsend.
when called before us, refused to testify
on the ground of discriminating himself.
Watson testified that he had known for
some time of this outrageous proceed
ing, but he still retains the guilty
deputies. The testimony showed that
one result of this practice is that there
is great lsxity in enforcing the hours of
labor, a full days work often being
credited when not performed.
This might be dismissed without fur
Their comment. But that lie q very
singular state of affairs which makes it
usual or possible for the head of an i'm
portant city department to borrow small
sums on his note from the deputy who
has charge of the changing. We dc
not like to doubt Mr.. Wateon's word,
but a man who accepts favors like this
is not wise enough to be at the head Of
an important municipal Office.

TIE Wilson bill fixes q duty Of 80 per
cent upon Zante curraRts, which are
really rRisiRs, bnt which are admitted
free under the existing tariff. The
greater portion of the raisine imported
into the United States come in under
the name of crrrants, so that the 90 per

to our ;zisin growers they never had be-
