Onr Roads.

The MARYLAND FARMER in speak.
ing on the public road question has
the following. which is quite applica.
bic to this county.
Last spring, as all will remember,
the roads throughout our State were in
an execrable condition. Farmers with.
in few miles Of our small towns, wer.
as thoroughly isolated as though hun
dreds Of miles in,ervencd between them
and civilization. The roads in many
instances were bottomless quagmires.
impossible for teams, and seldom used
even by foot passengers, who preferred
the rail fences or the ncighboring fields.
Dire necessity, alone, would force the
farmer TO leave his home during the
prevalence Of these fearful weeks oi
travel on these fearful roadways. dur.
ing the coming spring. we shall mos,
likely have repetition of this expert.
ence. at leas, approximately. for very
little has been done to improve the
roads during the past year, and the
season alone mus, be relied on for any
better result than We had last spring.
1t seems to US only one remedy be.
longs to the farmers, and that is their
own personal labor on those roads
which border their own farms. The
taxes they are now paying, and have
paid year after year in the past, have
been so much money virtually thrown
away Enough has been expended III
this careless way TO have macadamized
every road in our State in the very
best manner, had j. been thus appro
pria,ed. We might then have been
driving over highways, free OF soil. as
smooth as house floor Cold or hot,
wet or dry, these roads would have
been serviceable, and the repairs upon
them would have been OF a ,riflng
character comparatively.
Il is the height OF folly to continue
to expend money, in the manner oi
the past, upon roads as at present con
structed. The money goes into tie
hands OF those who are wholly incom
petent, either from lack Of skill or from
lack OF power, to make permanent
work on the roads. Their repairs are
but temporary, lasting only from
spring until winter, TO be renewed
again after the next spring has devcl
oped additional evidences Of incompc
tency.
This winter is the proper time in
which to consider this matter Of the
roads, and getting together. let the
farmers resolve TO have roads which
shall be permanent, and take the neces
sary measure to secure them.
In the general meetings Of the farm
ers, let il be distinctly understood
where the permanent road making
shall commence in their district. and
let such q man be chosen as will car.
~ out their resolves. Patch up other
roads temporarily, and build as much
as possible Of the right kind OF road
each year. according TO settled pro.
gramme. Il will not be long before
the whole district will be rejoicing-
YES all the districts Of our State would
be made glad.

duction Is raised, Just as the cry of

The adherents Of high protective tariff
areas intolerant Of any difference Of opin-
ion as were the Shareholders just prior to
the war Of the rebellion. They say, In the

Harrison, that It is not 90 much the
length of the step as its direction using
almost the precise argument which was
formerly used by the Shareholders against
any opposition to the extension Of
slavery" q
Mr.. Hale reminded his audience how
the course Of the Shareholders resulted in
the abolition Of slavery, and said that the
similar determination of the monopolists
not to submit to the slightest reduction Of
duties was very likely to result in the
total destruction of the system which the
election Of Cleveland and Thurman would
preserve. No party now desires abso.
Lutte free trade. There must be system
Of duties in order to raise the revenue,

In Three Grcat States.

Pennsylvania may astonish General
Harrison on Tuesday. The Harrisburg
Patriot publishes canvass Of this state
giving estimates from sixty.four of the
sixty.seven counties, which give total
majority for Cleveland Of 20,675. The
counties not included are Allegheny,
Lancaster and Philadelphia, and if these
three give less than 10000 Republican
majority the state will not give Harrison
10000 majority.
Such marshalling of Democratic
hosts as New York saw on Saturday
night was a glorious assurance of victory
ahead. All factions were there proved
eager and firm in support of the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency, how
ever they may be divided on the mayor
atty. The Republicans who marched by
daylight past Mr.. Levi Z. Morton must
have strained hard to feel enthusiastic
over that most unpromising and ST.
lent stick of presidential timber,
while, out in Ohio, Thurman,
our grand old man, was talking
vigorously to laboring men on the issues
OF the campaign. And by the way, tie
voters of that state are giving indications
OF a just pride in their share of the DEM
Ocratic ticket. Hon. James B. Town.
send, chairman Of the state Democratic
committee, thinks that there is a great
Ohio surprise in store for the Republi-
cans, and correspondent of the cautious
Baltimore San thinks it safe to say that
out OF the twenty districts the Demo-
Gratis will carry nine congressman, with
splendid fighting chances for two more.

Several COmparlsons.

The EetD Ira attempts to compare the
management Oft the treasury of the United
States under the two parties and finds it
necessary to go back to the days before
the war. Without repeating the answer
already given to persistent misIepresenta.
tions of the causes Of depression before
the war, wewill simply refer to the recent
treasury reports as evidence of Demo-
cratic care of the peoples funds and to a
ruined navy, the bounties to bondholders,
the waste Of the lands of the people
by lavish gift to railroads, and the flnan.
cial scandals in official circles that
distinguished Republican administration.
The. Era asks, "Whom can the people
trust with most confidence, the party
which has given the country full treas
ury or the one that depletes it?n We
believe that the people will answer that
they can best trust the party that has de.
clared the nation does not need full
treasury, the party that protests against
boarded millions of money raised
largely by taxation on raw materials of
manufacture and on the necessaries of
lite, the party that has proved the true
friend Of the honest self.respecting sol.
der, the enemy of the bounty jumper,
and pension shark We agree with our
contemporary that facts are not to be set
aside by lille defamation, and we search
Its article in vain for specimen fact.
Facts about this business will not bear
quoting in the Era's columns. If our
contemporary must go SO far back
IN history for comparison that is
pleasing We would also invite attention
70 comparison Of the sort it reyels in, a
comparison Of this campaign with the
ones before the war as lately made by the
eminent Mathew Hale, of Albany, a Re.
publican authority. Mr.. Hale who
supported Mr. Cleveland in 1884, and
who still supports him, has written a let
ter about things OF present interest. He
says that there has never, within his
recollection, been political campaign in
which any party has resorted 30 persist
emily and uniformly TO Misrepresentation
OF facts as the Republican party has done
during this campaign. "There have been
many campaigns where there has been
greater personal villiieation, but none,
20 Tar as my knowledge extends, where,
under the pretense OF argument based
upon statistics and facts, such facts and
statlstics have been so generally aud uni
VERBALLY perverted and falslhed."
There have been, however, campaigns
which resemble the present one TO some
extent In this inspect. The cry Of free

The Daily Intelligencer.
The Dudley Letter.

The Dudley Letter.
The letter Of Treasurer Dudley, of the
Republican national committee, giving
orders for the management OF Indiana
fioaters, Is worthy OF careful study. At
tention is particularly called to the closing
lines Of the first long paragraph. After
minute directions for the management of
fleaters and for inducing men to work the
entire day at the polls, Treasurer Dudley
gives the following assurance:
"The result will fully justify the sacri-
flce the time and comfort, and will be a
source Of satisfaction afterwards to those
who help in this way. Lay great stress on
this last matter. 1t will pay" How will
the above please the citizen who believes
In civil service reformY What is meant
by this last matter" on which great
stress is placed? How will it "pay F" the
political vulture who is to be trusted
with this ugly work of managing voters
In blocks Of five? How but by division
Of the spoilsin open defiance of the maxim
that public Office is public trust ? Note,
also, the solid assurance of the treasurer
"There will be no doubt of your re-
ceiving the necessary assistance through
the national, state and county COM
mittees"; and the instruction "divide the
floaters into blocks of five, and put
trusted man with necessary funds in
charge of these five, and make him
responsible that none get away and that
all vote our ticket"
The voters will be apt to take care that
this open agowal of q determination to
rule the republic by money is rebuked.
Note again that the supporters of Presi-
dent Cleveland, including the Democratic
veterans who fought for the flag, are
called "the rebel crew." When a leader
OF the faction that now passes for the Re-
publican party, can be guilty of so male
violent an expression, no further proof
should be needed of the unfitness OF that
organization to carry on the work of
cementing the Union achieved at 80 fear
ful cost. Colonel Dudley says that If
every Republican will do bis whole duty
the country will pass into Republican
hands, never to leave it, / trust"
Place the accent on the trust" and
remember Col. Dudley's peculiar notions
about duty. Is there not q patriotic ring
OF false kind in his declaration that the
rebel crew" above referred to can't
steal this election as in 1854, " without
-acme one getting hurt"y Pleasant senti.
ments these for quarter of century
after the war, in land of law and order.
