Value of Good Roads,

Prof Ely, of Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, estimates the losses from bad
roads in the United States, in the wear and
tear of horses and wagons, at one hundred
millions of dollars per year. There are ten
millions of horses, he says, in this country,
and good reads would save an average of ten
dollars for each horse, making the total one
hundred millions. This is an extravagant
estimate, but good roads need no such argu-
ment. Everybody will agree that they are
desirable. He quotes u distinguished Amer
lean as saying that ''onr public roads are the
poorest which exist in any civilized country. :"
This, also, we think, must be mistake.
Several South American States, and some
European, have little better highways than
mule paths, and they would be offended if
told that they were not civilized. These dis
paraging comparisons of things American
with things abroad are often made without
due consideration. 1t must be remembered
that the United States is vast country and a
new country, not much over century old,
while the countries of Europe have been
settled for many hundreds of years. This
country has made greater progress, in every
respect, than ever was made by any other
people whose exploits are recorded upon the
pages of history. In another century this
country will be the leading country of the
world, greater in arms, art, agriculture, COM
merce and manufactures, than any nation on
the face of the globe. We have often heard
her art, her monuments, her benevolent in
stitutions, her institutions of learning, her
church edifces, and other public buildings,
adversely criticised by Europeans. When
America shall have existed as long as Euro
pean countries have existed, there will be no
grounds for comparison between them. This
country will have SO Ear outstripped them all
as to have left them entirely out of sight in all
that constitutes the grandeur, glory and great
ness of a people. To doubt it is to deny the
tendencies of the age, the liberalizing and
expansive genius of our institutions, and the
incompatible activity and energy of our
people, parallel to which Is nowhere found
in the annals of the world.
Rome had her Appian Way, but she was
FIVE hundred years old before she commenced
to build it, and all her highways were not
Appian. They were probably axle deep in
seasons of wet weather, though her climate
did not affect her roads as the roads of the
United States are affected by the frosts of
winter. The same may be said of the roads
of Spain, and of France and England. The
frost does not penetrate so deeply, and the
keeping of the highways in good order is at
tended with much less expense and labor.
Our railway system is the best in the world,
and far more extensive, while in the manu-
factura Of machinery we defy competition.
Prof Ely is probably correct in saying that
our highways would have been better if the
era Of railways had been postponed for a
season. Give America more time, and her
public highways win compare fayorably with
those of any other country.

The great game between the Mime
apolis Liars and Libelers did not draw
out as large ali audience as was ex-

did go were drawn there by false pre-
lenses. There were no bright-eyed.
lithe-limbed fairies from the Corsair
company to smile on brilliant plays. In
deed, 1.-THE fair sex was conSpicuously
absent all around, and more empty than
filled seats grinned at the players.
Then, too, George Knight was adver-
.tised to umpire and failed to show up,
but Manager Floyd, of the Nat Goodwin
company. took his place and did passing
well. The game itself was not so
bad as might have been ex-
pected. 1t was too bad to
run i'm professional like Booth, whose
hot spirals were enigmas to the pencil
pushers, while the barristers poun ded
jones' drop balls all over the lot. A
great deal might be written of Gray's
fine catches in left field, ON Leonard's
great throwing to bases, but if written
it would De not quite complimentary.
More might be said of the costumes of
the Briggs brothers and the high-water
pants of Bond, but the subject is too
painful. When Jones had been
