The town of Monmouth, in Warren coun-
~, Illinois, is making a radical departure
in country road building. 1t is laying
roadway of pressed brick, to extend sew
eral miles into the country. The brick
will be laid in a single course on six inches
of sand. and supported at the sides with
two and half feet Of crushed stone. The
cost will be something like 5000 a mile,
and It is proposed. in the event of the ex-
pertinent proving satisfactory to build
many miles of the same sort Of road. 1t
Is a little surprising to hear that country
community in the west, where the people
ought to be suffering from want. accord
ing to the stories of the politicians. Is able
to build brick roads into the country at a
cost of 5000 a mile There is no room for
doubt that II the people had more 5000
annie roads and less politics they would
be much better off.

The Case of the Castles.

The grand jury of the Clerkenwell ses-
sions, London has decided that there is
sufficient evidence upon which to found
an indictment against Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter Castles of California, arrested in Lon
don upon a charge of shoplifting, and has
returned true bill against them. They
will, therefore, have to stand trial. Just
as though they were ordinary people in
stead of very wealthy Americans in Eu-
rope, for the purpose of exploiting their
money. 1t must be admitted, by the way
that In the matter of the shoplifting, Mrs
Castle displayed a weakness for exploit
ing somebody else's money
Much sickly, sentimental sympathy has
been wasted and many crocodile tears have
been shed because of this case of the Cas-
ties. An effort has been made to show
that Mrs. Castle is a sufferer from men
tai arrangement which prompts her to
steal, and, therefore, she should not be
held responsible when she steals. 1t may
be that such is the case. 1t seems to be
pretty well established that kleptomania
is as much a disease as small pox or
measles. If Mrs. Castle is victim of the
disease the fact will no doubt be brought
out at the trial. just where it should be
brought out, and will have due weight In
the minds of the jurymen. The sugges-
ton that she will not have fair trial is
silly nonsense. 1t is preposterous, I'M
reasonble, to suppose that an English
court, more especially a London court
would set about to convict the defendants
merely because they are rich Americans.
The English system Of court procedure is
as near perfect as human ingenuity can
make 1t, and the English laws are based
upon justice to all parties concerned. The
bringing of these wealthy Castles before
the bar of Justice upon such a charge as it
might be expected a bookblack would be
arraigned upon is merely an illustration
of the rugged, unbiased, honest way the
English people have of running their
courts. 1t would be a great thing for
this country II we had more of this same
sort of thing in our courts. The Clerk
enwell sessions will give the Castles even
justice. There need be no fear of that.
And if it be fact that the woman is
suffering from a mental disease no jury
will convict her. 1t is pretty generally
admitted that it will be shown that there
is no case against Mr. Castle. lib was in
dicted because the missing articles were
found in his room, but they were in his
wifes trunk and there is no evidence to
show that he knew they were there.

1t is rather depressing to reflect, even
after the election, upon the fact that MIL
lionaire STATIONS $4,000 bet was after
all only a bluff. While betting, on cleo
tons or otherwise, is to be decried ono
cannot help admirlng the pluck of a man
who is willing to risk princely fortune
upon his opinion. 1t seems that Stratton
insisted that the money TO cover his bet
be placed in bank at Colorado Springs,
thousands of miles away from the people
who were to take the other end of the
bargain. The latter were ready to de-
post their money in a New York bank.
The New York banks acknowledgment
of receipt would have been satisfactory to
any business man on the continent. But
1t was not satisfactory to Mr.. Stratton.

THE COMMITTEE
On Resolutions Besieged by the Women suffragists
 At Chicago,

CuIeAGo, H., July 6.-The mem bers of the committee on resolu- tions were besieged today by the women suffragists who put in the day making the round of the State headquarters. The party, headed by Mrs. Clara Foltz, of New York, and Mrs. LiIie Devereaux Blake, endeavored to convince the sil ger leaders that an endorsements of their movement might gather votes to the silver cause by the influence the suffragists would bring to bear on the male voter As at the re- cent St. Louis convention the sulfragists are opposed by Mrs. John V. L. Pryor, of Albany, who is on the ground to speak for the women anti-suffragists and to battle against the conferment of the voting power. Both parties will probably be granted the courtesy of a hear inc before the committee on resolu- tions and the war of words may be expected to occupy the attention oi the members for a half hour or so, but no longer.

WILLIAM E. RUSSELL.
The Dashing Young Democratic
 Leader of the Bay State.

\ most popular sound money leader of the Democratic party in the eastis that dashing young states man, William E. Russell The ad- iective "dashing" has been associa ted with Russell ever since 1890, when he led the Democracy 0f the Old Bay state to victory after three exciting campaigns which rattled the dry bones of both parties in that com monwealth as they had not been shaken since the war. He was only 33 years old at the time, and never was governor more oi q party idol than was Russell after his eec- ton.

JOHN c. CARLISLE.
One of.Kentucky's Great States
 men and Gold Champion.

John G. Carlisle, of Covington, Ky,
 besides being one of the most promin- ent is one of the most interesting characters in American politics. He saw born in Campbell tnow.Kenton) county, Ky. in 1885, which brings him to his sixty-first year and the full ripeness or his wisdom AS a boy he was studious. He was rais- ed on q farm, with much of the ordinary farm life thrown upon him. One day, when he had been sent to blow, his mother was attracted by loud talking and shouting, and she found the boy standing on q stump making a political oration to q. fam cied assemblage.
 John G. Carlisle had common school education, but at 15 he be- came q teacher as well as a student, and at the age of r he became prin- cipal of the school. It was not long before his ambition took another turn and he studied law, and at 9 he was admitted to the bar. He is one of the best natural lawyers in the United States, and to this apti- tude he has added the wisdom of much reading and experience. While yet Il tall attenuated lad of 19, he was taken by Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, on a political tour and it frequently happened that the gov ernor incapaeitatea himself from oyereating, to which he was prone

and young Carlisle had to speak for him. IL is thns seen that the future secretary of the treasury began his political career very early. Mr. Car lisle soon after his appearance in congress won place for himself as q ready and resourceful de batter and d man of wide informa- ton, especially on all questions of finance. He has courteous, dignfied manners and admirable tact and dis cretion. He never attacks persons, but always principles. He never praises nor expects it of another and invariably meets lIattery with a frown.
 Mir. Carlisle was elected to the Forty-tifth, Forty-siXth, Forty-sev- enth, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and I7ifty-first congresses, and was speaker of the Forty y-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth. MT. Car lisle was elected to the senate to succeed Senator Beck, and resigned to accept the treasury portfolio un- der President Cleveland.
