Everybody remembers with what
show Of indignation the police depart
ment OF New York met DR.. Parkhurstis
charges Of conspiracy between tho
police and the keepers Of dens OF
~iniquity. Testimony before the invcsti-
eating committee OF the state senate
has fully established tho truth OF the
accusation.
A year ago Dr.. Parkhurst submitted a
list of fifty disorderly houses in one
police precinct which tho police por-
mittcd to remain open. OF course
thore was the usual police denial. On
Wednesday last the committee had be-
fore It the keeper OF one OF those houses.
He was known to have served q term in
the poni;cnt'ary for burglary, but Tor
an Limitation fec OF 500 and n
tribute Of $50 4 month he was allowed
to run his brothcl in a nest OF brothels.
Here is I ohoico morsel from the YER
batim report of the testimony:
Q.-wes your house mentioned among the
fifty In the li,ti A.-ltvas
Q.-NS il open at the time the police To
ported 1t was closed? A.-Surc! 1t was opca
tight along.
Q.-Did the police know it was orcn: A.-Ot
course they did I was paying tho police 10
keep 1t open.
aow much the blackmailers OF the
police force were permitted TO keep Tor
Themselves, how much they we're com.
pclled to hand over to the leaders, how
much went into the Tammany treasury,
arc questions which may remain open
for all time. This much is known be-
yond q doubt, that the police force has
been tho mainstay OF Iammauy. Tam
many is the mainstay Of the Demo.
cratic party in the city OF New York.
Wishou. the city, and by 4 big majority
az that, tho Democrats cannot carry the
state.
1t may easily como about that tho
earnest work Of the fighting parson will
prove the undoing OF tho whole Demo.
cratic machine in the Empire State.

result Of one mans work in u%ncovering

The IyrELLlGESCER is glad 10 agree
with the Philadelphia Pres that the de,
cision OF Mahone and his honchmeu TO
have no Republican nominees ior Con.
gross in Virginia this year is "cowardly
to the last degree" and that the whole
matter should be taken out ofMnhone's
hands and the Republican party in Vir-
ginia reOrganizcd.
'The absurd dictation and misman-
agcmenL OF Malone have been tolerated
long enough" adds the Pres, 10 which
everybody who knows anything OF the
situation will gay, amen. About all
that Mahouo has done for the Ropubli-
q party Is to get himself elected TO
the United States senate. From first to
last he has been n disturbing and disor-
ganizing influence in the Republican
party in Virginia. lie seems to have
made up his mind that there shall be
nc moro Republican party in that state.
II he be honest he is too imbeciIc to DO
conrulted.
There arc stanch and true Republi-
cans in West Virginia. Let them come
10 tho front and marshal the party for
the campaign. They can stand defeat,
MS the Republicans OF West Virginia
have, aud il they follow that example
they will come up again smiling, full
OF fight and keeping the cuemy guess.

4 Nut For Tho Lawyers,

A man in Tennessee was shot and
killed by two men in North Carolina.
The supreme court OF North Carolina
decided that the courts OF that state
have no jurisdiction over tho matter,
tho crime having been committed in
Tennessee. The latter state demanded
tho %oxtradition OF tho murdcrers as
iugitivcs from justice.
Counsel for the murdorers set up the
plea that the crime was not committed
in Tennessee and therefore the men are
not iusitives and Tennessee has no
right to them. There is no question as
to the murder or the identity oithc muir.

Secretary M~cBryde, OF tho United
Minc Workers, says Homo sensible
things Of the strike and tho lawlessneAs,
"Thn press OF tho country was on tho
whole favorable to tho miners" says
Mr.. McBrydc.
This is truo. There has raroly boon a
strike in which there v.i 10 much sym
pathy given to the mon by tho press.
This wac because 1t was we'll known
that in many localities and in many
mines the diGSers Of coal were not able
to earn ~ living by faithful work.
When this condition exists it will OK
cite the sympathy OF press aud public
So far as that sympathy has been lost
tho loss has been due to riotous pro.
ceedings. On this point also Mr.. Nc.
Bryde speaka the words OF truth and
soberness. lie says that the fret acts
OF violence blasted all hopes OF com.
plete success. This turned public
sympathy in another direction. Tho
public is Interested fist OF all in tho
preservation OF peace.
There is IL other utterNrco by tho
secretary which commands attention.
He says tina. sit was evident that il tho
suspension continued much longer it
would BIO Mt n local sacrifice OF human
life" This is unquestionably true, aud
the danger is not yet passed, Tor the &c.
Ceptapco OF tho compromise is by no
means general.
II should be understood By this time
that in any strike SUCCESS is very i'm
probable ii violence is resorted to. The
sense OF self preservation in society
rises and the strikers 20 down. The
lesson is taught often and as often un-
needed.

Unirorm Width of Tread of Vehicles.

PORT REPUBLIC. November 3.
TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Feeling an interest in having good roads.
| will offer a suggestion, which seems,
so far as / have observed, to have been
overlooked or not properly considered.
one of the great causes OF bad roads -
the mistaken, though universal, polcy OF
having all vehicles OF uniform width or
tread, by which each team passing over
a road increases the first impression I'M
I'll n formidable rut Is the consequence.
When the earth is moist each team Will
increase the depth, say one fourth OF an
inch. so that fifteen or twenty wagons
passing over the road VIII make a fur
row OF four or five Inches, and II there
is a rainy season the road VIII be almost
impossible. the ruts attaining "A depth or
twelve or fifteen inches. And once In this
groove 1t is almost impossible 10 get out
OF IL. II you will observe where there
is n short turn In the road you will see the
philosophy OF this theory. Wagons having
a different length of coupling, in making
q turn the hind wheels don't follow out
the track Of one going before, hence they
have n tendency to obliteratc the impress
sion made. This | have often observed
and called the attention Of others 20.
There are two things among others 70
which I would call the attention OF the
Good Roads society TO Try u miuce the
introduction OF vehicles with different
width Of tread and wheels Of broader tire.
A difference OF from four to six inches
In the width Of tread and a four-inch
tire would add greatly to keeping our
roads in good order and lessening the
cost Of improvement and giving greater
comfort 10 the travelling community.
Although boomers" of the present day
call me an old fogy for keeping aloof from
the craze. yet / am so far progressive
as TO desire to get out OF the old ruts.
Your great interest in the road qucs-
ton induces me TO send this, which You
may publish if 1t meets your approval.
