President Maloney, of the Board of
Inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary,
pays profound compliment to the edi-
tors Of the Philadelphia papers. In an
interview relative to the investigation
of the conduct Of the officials OF that
great penal institution, he said one day
last week:
"The sort of commission / would be
willing to submit this matter TO would
be for the editors Of the papers Of
Philadelphia to constitute themselves
into e commission or appoint a com
mission to visit the Eastern Peniten-
tiary, and ! will issue to such a bods
a permit to visit the penitentiary an,
cause its doors to be thrown wide opeI

they see fit. afterward telling the pub
lie, which has a right to know, jus

50 composed would get nearer the sea
Of the trouble than any other. Whethe

We understand that a bill has pass
ed the House OF Representatives which
has for its object the levy of a tax on
repairs to ears. The bill is now in the
Senate, and great care should be exer-
cised by that body In the consideration
of a measure OF this character to the
end that a tax is not laid on any cor
poratlon that will be so onerous as to
drive a corporation out of business in
this state For instance, the Pullman
Palace Car Company has paid out in
wages in its repair shops in this city
nearly two millions of dollars in the
past five years. We do not know ex-
actly to what extent the bill now under
consideration will affect that shop, but
what we want 10 impress on cur legis-
lators is that we need to foster all the
business enterprises we now have here
and to so legislate as to invite ether
enterprises to come here.

roo FAR-REAcHING.

The House has killed "A bill which
we regarded as exceedingly dangerous
and calculated to bring the Levy Court
OF this county into factional politics
and disrepute. We refer to the measure
abolishing the several boards OF road
commissioners, placing all roads in the
county under the direct control of the
Levy Court. and authorizing it to APP
noint supervisors 10 attend them and
keep them in repair The House is to
be congratulated for its action.
Each hundred cares for its own
roads. and If they are not well
cared for It is the fault Of the voters of
that hundred, who elect their own com
missioners and decide what tax shall
be levied to enable them to carry on
their work. This system has been in
vogue for long time, and we did not
believe that there was any general de-
mand for it being done away with.
II II had become a law It would have
made the Levy Court one of the most
gigantic political machines that ever
existed in this state, where we have
had so many machines, both Demo-
cratic and Republican. Let us imagine
that the Levy Court is the centre; then
come the supervisors; next to them the
men who are employed to repair the
roads. and next to them the men who
supply the material There would be
hundreds of appointments under the
act. and each appointee would be ex-
pected to become political worker. If
this influence were confined to the gen.
eral elections It would be bad enough
but we are afraid that it would not be.
II would be possible for the Levy Court
to dictate the ticket at every primary
election, and the men who secured con.
troll of that body could slate their mer
and force them on the party, regardless
OF the party will.
We cannot imagine that the roads
would be any better under such condi
tions, for they would be made the sub
iects of political jobbery, and the peo
pie of the hundreds would become dis
satisfied with the central administra
tive body, the Levy Court, and all sor
of trouble would ensue.
II is better, we believe, to per
nit the people of the several hundred
to attend to their own roads, as the.
have done in the past. They will b
better satisfied, and have a speedy rem
edy in their own hands if things do no
suit them. The Levy Court has enoug
TO do as It is, and more than it can d
satisfactorily
There was evidently a factional snak
in the bill, and the House scotched it.
Representative Donaldson said in tn
funeral Grafton that it had been tn
dream of his life to have such bil
passed. We do not doubt it, but Will
he is dreaming, the more sensible mem
bers of the House are wide awake to a
such dreams, which amount PRACTICAL
to political Nightmares. AS a dreame
of dreams Mr.. Donaldson is a success
but when it comes to the matter OF fa'
affairs of everyday life he is a dism;
failure. He has changed his vote in oi
der 70 move reconsideration. It is liz
him. He seldom casts his vote that
does not either explain or change
We are of the opinion that there
sense enough among the members
the House to kill all such dreams of NJ
Donaldson's. There are some dream
that are better shattered, and this
one of them.
