CONVICT ROAD-MAKING

Pennsylvania wants good roads. but baliis at the expense. Simutaneonusiy, the convicts in its two penitentiaries, so far as their cries are permitted to be heard, are pleading for work The Philadelphia grand jury has gone so far as to recommend that work should be found for convicts." There was time when the system of solitary confinement, in strict vogue in the Pennsylvania penitentlares. was relieved by providing light labor for idle hands and drag ging hours. But one occupation after another has been abolished, perhaps at the instance of labor unions, until now % per cent of the in mates must pass their time without toll of any kind. Long experience has proved that such condition favors the transference of convicts from the prison to the madhouse.
 All this is both uneconomc and inhumane In theory, at least, one purpose of the legal punish ment of crime is reformation. But that pur- pose is thwarted by compulsory idleness, which the stoutest resistance to gloom and to evil thoughts, while it encourages the will fully vicious. Ii is normal to be active, and conversely, inactivity promotes degeneracy Thus the prospect of reform, if that be persist ently kept in view, becomes dim and distant if not altogether bighted
 Georgia offers Pennsylvania an example that invites imitation by putting its convicts at work on its public roads. This form of labor does not yield a waste product. neither does it enter into competition with free and honorable wage earn ing. It adds to the wealth of the state, the con venience of its people, and the readiness and cheapness of transportation It gives to prs- oners wholesome exercise amid sunlight and fresh air, stimulates their desire for liberty. and encourages their good conduct The result might well be to increase the percentage of. those convicts who, after serving their terms, become actually desirable citizens. Pennsyl- vania holds in it's own hands the realization of its desire for better roads,

 Now, we are most devoutly thankful that Globe has not reached that deplorable point of retrogression as yet, and we trust she may never have the misfortune to do so. But 1t is nevertheless certain that to continue having in cendiary fires will spell disaster sooner later. And the only way of avoiding either a raise in fire insurance rates or the refusal of the com panies to issue policies is to visit swift and sure retributlon on any person detected in the act of arson.

A MYSTERY AND ITS RELATED
 SEQUEL

More than casual interest must attach co the result of an investigation which is being con- ducted into the circumstances which contributed to, or caused, the death, at Annapolis, Md, some months ago of an officer of the marine corps. The original inquiry was made to show that the officer died by his. own hand, and the casualty has been cassed with that of the sui cides, although there were evidences of some sort of a disturbance among the four marine officers with whom the deceased was associated on the night of his death.
 The mystery of that event was not fully dis peed by the official report of the court of in- quiry, and the dead officers friends and rea- tives have lately been insistent that some fur ther investigation be made, which action, it is understood, was taken with much reluctance and, in some quarters, without approval
 It ought not to be necessary for those who are interested in this tragic incident to make unusual effort to have the death of such an off, cer fully and frankly investigated. No branch of the public service has anything to lose by having the truth known, and 1t is inconceivable, as has been suggested by some of the sensation al newspapers, that anybody in official place is anxious to hide anything or shield culprit, if there be one. It is made to appear that certain witnesses originally called in this case are now giving testimony, at least to the newspapers, which admits of very different conclusion from that which regarded this mysterious af- fair as case of suicide. It will be well to as- certain why there is such beated ascertain ment of some of the information which has an important bearing on the findings of the court of inquiry. It is proper to reserve judgment until something more is officially promulgated, but it is not out of place here and now to ex- press surprise that second investigation of such an incident is necessary. It wonld have

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL

The Payne tariff bill goes back to the house loaded down with senate amendments making it d more highly protective measure than any tar if heretofore adopted by an American con gress in spite of the numerous decreases in duty m sundry schedules. These decreases, as Sen ator La Toilette has pointed out, relate in the main to trivial matters, or, as in the of steel
 rails, to commodities which could not be inn
 ported ill quantities. no matter what the duty, whereas the many increases affect larger vol tune of imports and favor important special in terests.
 Approximately 75 per cent of our dutiable importations will continue to come in under the old Dingley rates, 15 per cent will come in un- der increased rates of duty, and but 10 per cent will come in under reduced rates. Less than $5, 100000 of tariff taxation is remitted by the revised schedules as they leave the senate and the increased duties impose added tariff taxa tion amounting to nearly $15,000000. In seven out of the fourteen schedules equiv alent ad valorem duties show an increase over the duties of the present law; in two they re- main the same, and in five they show reduc- tion. The average ad valorem duties imposed tby the entire bill show an increase from 40.21 to 4l.N. Such is revision of the tariff by its friends. With little touch in conference it ought to be satisfactory to the most hardened standpatter
 While there can be no doubt as to the quality of the bill as a measure of tariff revision, there may be considerable question as to its revenue
 producing abilities. The estimates that have
 been made are and must remain, little better than guesswork. No one can actually tell until the bill has been on operation for a year or more what it will do toward providing sufficient
 revenue. Various changes in the method of val
 nation of imported goods complicate the in- crease in duties, and although Mir. Aldrich has expressed confidence that the prevention of
 undervaluations will produce large additions to the customs revenue, 1t remains to be seen whether higher duties will not diminish the vol
 tune of imports. There appear to be no avail the corporation tax. It is widely believed that it will prove larger revenue yielder than the president anticipated and so may make up for any deficiency in customs receipts. But in any event the new taxation will not afford the treas ury any relief for year or more, so that the government may be forced to borrow money to meet the eXtravagant appropriations of the last session.
 Mir. Aldrich has already intimaed that the question of bond issues will be taken up in De. cember. 1t is evident that the whole matter og adjusting revenue to expenditure, or the re- verse operation is still in a chaotic condition,
 and must so remain for some time to come

A 8 THE cool days approach, women
~ are turning their attention to the
- fall wardrobe, and an important
item is the afternoon gown OF cloth
or crepe de chine. The new silk cash
meres are favorite material, and the
smart models are all showing hand
embroidery in a matching tone. 1t Is
these bits Of handiwork that give the
cachet to O gown and distinguish 1t
from the more ordinary run Of frocks.
It is hand work, too, which sends the
price Of gown soaring into the
clouds. Fortunate, indeed, is the
woman who can make her own gown
and do the bit Of embroidery which
sets 1t OF 80 well.
To-day we are giving an effective
and simple design from the Greek,
which may be applied to a frOck OF
one of the new tones of silk cashmere.
The half-tones-the dull blues, grays
and violets, are all good, and new
shade, mahogany red, Is very fashion
able.
To apply the design to the cloth,
lay 1t on a hard board and use hard,
sharp pencil. For light colors use
carbon paper between the material
and the design. and for dark use a
marking board or a piece Of unglaZed
white paper, covered thickly with
French or tailor's chalk. In working
be careful that the marks do not get
rubbed of.
The embroidery is simple to do and
very rapid, as the silks used are
coarse. The outline Of the square is
done in plain outline stitch and the
little border on the long side with
fiat dots, while the stitch between the
dots Is taken on the right side. The
rest Of the embroidery is solid satin
stitch, with padding under the long
leaf-shaped pieces. Use the heavy
Flo embroidery silk.
The gown In the sketch is q dull
old red silk cashmere, with the EN-.
broidery in a matching tone. and the
sleeve frills and tucker Of soft white
null, with a bit of lace on the frills.

squared and otherwise made ready for
setting in the ground. Oneinch holes
are bored in all the poles, from -

down to within five or SIX feet from

have to be bored carefully, the posts
set at equal depth in the ground and
perfectly plumb. Otherwise roof will
only be raised with great difficulty
and will not rest even above the stack
The posts are generally set from ten
to twelve feet apart thereby allowing
the building Of a square stack OF good
size. The roof, preferably made Of
matched lumber, is supported by four
2x4s which rest upon the iron eye
bolts passing through the eye holes.
1t is always better to have the roof
project foot or so beyond the corner
posts to better protect the stack from
the weather. Care, however, should
be taken to keep the roof sufficiently
light for easy raising.
