A WELL MENDED RoAD-A correspondent
says:
1.-THE supervisor who mended the road leading
from Wesleyan Chapel, second district towards
Havre de Grace, deserves a word of commenda-
ton. | do not know who he is. In blowing
out the sides of the road he has picked out all
the stones and piled them alongside of the road
instead of throwing them in the bed of the road.
Where the road is the stoniest the greatest care
seems to have been taken to pick off all the
loose stones, and as consequence the road, al
though newly mended, is smooth and firm-a
model road, in fact. The work, too, was done
In the oldfashioned way, with pillow aud shovels.

The OleOmargarine Bill n Law.

President Cleveland ON Monday signed the
oleomargarine bill, taxing imitation butter
two cents pound. In announcing the ap-
proval of the bill he sent to the House mess
age of considerable length, in which he ex-
plains his reasons for signing it. In it he
says:
eff this article has the merits which it's
friends claim for it, and if the people of the
land, with full knowledge of its real charact ter
desire to purchase and use ii, the taxes exacted
by this bill will permit fair profit to both
manufacturer and dealer. If the existence of
the commodity taxed and the profits of its
manufacture and sale depend upon disposing
of it to the people for something else which it
deceitfully initiates, the entire enterprise is q
fraud and not an industry and if it cannot en-
dure the exhibition of its real character, which
will be effected by the inspection, supervision
and stamping which this bill directs, the sooner
it is destroyed the better, in the interest of fair
dealing"

plus accommodating in the United States trea-
sury, from time to time, shall be applied to
the payment Of Understanding bonds, pass
ed the Senate last Friday, in an amended
form, coupled with so many conditions as to
render it almost imperative. The President,
under theresolution. is authorized to suspend
the payment of the surplus whenever he
pleases, Senator German, on Friday, made
strong speech in behalf of the financial
policy of Cleveland's administration. He was
frequently interrupted but gave apt replies to
every question that was asked him, showing
a complete mastery of all the details of the
intricate subject of government finance.

AS he used to when he was there.
But alas he has gone forever
Across on that golden shore.
Where all is joy and gladness,
To dwell forever more.
