With the exception Of Mr.. Kelley, Of
Pennsylvania, Samuel ]. Randall of that
state has served in Congress for a longer
continuous period than any other member.
Of the early life Of Mr.. Randall little need
be said except that after receiving an AGA.
de,nic education he engaged in mercantile
pursuits, but developed a decided bent for
politics. After four years service in the
council Of his native city, Philadelphia, he
went to the State Senate where he served
four years more with credit to himself and
to the best interests Of those whom he rep.
resented. He entered the army at the out
break Of the rebellion where he served his
country as a soldier until in 1863 he was
called to serve her in the capacity ola civil
ian in the halls of Congress. He took his
seat in December Of that year, and at a
time when every legislative measure nee.
essarily partook Of matters growing out Of
the existing war. In this Congress his
ambition had to BE- satisfied with the hum
BILE position of a membership Of the Public
Buildings Committee, but in the next and
the succeeding Congresses he was put on
the Committees on Banks aud Banking,
appropriations, Rules, Ways and Means,
and Public expenditures upon all Of which
he proved most efficient pains. taking and
valuable member. Perhaps the greatest
achievements Of his public life were in con.
ncction with his work as Chairman Of the
Committee on Appropriations in the For
tv.fourth Congress, when the public expen-
tiitures were reduced more than fifty mill
lions Of dollars. In 1876, at the opening of
the second session Of the Forty fourth Con-
gress Mr. Randall was elected to fill the va.
cancy in the Speakers chair occasioned by
the death of Speaker Kerr. How he &C.
quilted himself in this most trying and re.
sponsible position is evidenced by the prac.
tically unanimous party vote that he re-.
ceived for the same position in the succeed.
ing Congress. Mr.. Randall may be said
to be free from the ostentaton usually
chargable against public men, although he
lives in style COMFORTING with the dignity
Of his position as one Of the prominent fig
ures in our political history. He is about
fifty-tive years Of age, is we'll preserved
both mentally and physically, and so popu.
lar in his own district that he rides into
Congress every two years with $500 Re
publican votes at his back. His defeat for
the position of Speaker in the present Con-
gress was due not to any lack ofconfidence
in Mr.. Randall but to the position major
ity Of the party decided to take upon the
question OF tariff reform. His personal
characteristics are notable in the possession

The two advance vessels of the
Greedy relief expedition have already

thought the expedition set out too ear
ly forgot that William Baffin, who
discovered the sound in 1916, was near
Littleton Island in his fifty six ton ship
before the end of June, and that such
Arctic authorities as Clements Mark

in the bay by whaler three weeks be-

~ As speaker, Mr.. Blaine made a
ruling that assured the passage of a
bill granting big land subsidy to the
Little Rock Railway Company of Ar

Mr.. Blaine wrote to his friend Fisher
contractor for the construction of the
railway asking him to use his good
offices with Mr.. Caldwell( l(who controll-
ed the enterprise) to obtain from the
latter a proposition to admit Mr..
Blaine to an interest in its ownership.

house (3) A few days later he wrote
a letter to "Dear Fisher" thanking
HIM for his 'liberal mode of dealing

Country Roads.

The dirt shoveled upon the country
roads by the supervisors directions has
been washed away by recent rains.
This happens with great regularity ev-
cry Spring. While the present
system of road-making is continued the
bad roads are likely to continue. We
go on, year in and year out, like the
spiders which spin webs within reach
of the housekeeper's broom, throwing
loose dirt on the roads, only TO see 1t
washed away inside few weeks, and
for the rest of.the year the repairs are
made to vehicles, harness and horse
flesh. The Reading Times suggests a
State superintendent of public roads
and State appropriation of $l,OOO,-
900 annually, distributed like the school
fund, on condition that each township
collects road tax equal in amount to
the sum it would receive from the
State. Bad roads can only be made
good by the expenditure of money.
Whether the money is raised by the
State or by the neighborhoods, it will
have to come out of the pockets of the
people. If the people of the counties
really think that good roads can only
be obtained by general road law and
appropriation, they have the power
to obtain the States assistance
through the Legislature. The couu
ties need improved roads more thar
Philadelphia needs better streets, and
it should be pretty well proved by this
time that the townships are unable
separately, to maintain good highways
