ENGINEER DAWSON, under direction of
the Committee Oh Pavements, cOmmenc-
ed surveys for the establishment of grades
on Tuesday morning. When the work is
completed, an ordinance will be enacted
establishing the grades agreed upon.
In this connection, will it not be well
enough to consider the practicability of
widening sidewalks to twelve feet? This
would enable persons to put three feet of
grass sod on either side of a six feet flag
walk in parts of the town, which would
greatly improve the appearance of the
streets. There is more room in the streets
than is needed, and the improved appear
ance of such sidewalks, and the fact that
the cost would be comparatively small,
would recommend them to persons of
taste. Possibly property-Owners would
object to compulsory widening, but that
would not be necessary. Once a few are
laid as suggested, most persons would see
the beauty and desirability of the i'm
provement, and would of their own mo-
ton make the improvement.
This is a matter worth thinking of by
all persons interested in beautifying and
improving the town.

WHAT is THOUGHT OF THEM.

An idea of how the nomination of
Harrison end Morton impresses the
country may be had from the follow
ing extracts from leading journals of
all sections:
THE MUGwUMPS NOT SATISFIED.
From the New York Times Ind Rep.
The people of this country will pass
judgment upon the Republican party,
not upon the Republican candidates.
Were that party anyslonger worthy of
confidence; had it not departed widely
and hopelessly from the guidance and
the principles with which it won its
early triumphs; were it actuated by
an honest purpose to make the people
of the United States more prosperous
and happy than its political oppo-
nents can make them; were its profes-
sions more sincere, its policy wiser,
and its leaders purer, the New York
Times might not find it a distasteful
task to support the candidates, COM
monplace IA they are, who were put
in nomination Monday. But we have
no faith in the party or in its leader
ship or tendencies, and we have only
adherence for the monstrous policy
of confiscating the gains of labor and
the profits of trade by extortionate
70 hi hag ~.
only vitalizing principle. The main
tenance of needless taxes for protec-
tons sake is not and never was prin-
ciple of true Republicanism. 1t is the
principle that has created and sus-
tained a greedy horde of manufactur-
ers who have bought the Republican
party and shaped it to their uses.
For the working out Of the reforms
which the Times believes to be the
chief issues of our politics the Demo
cratic party, with its present candi-
dates, is the better instrument, to
use Mr.. Tildens expression. Its can
didates are incomparably superior TO
those of the Republicans, and the an
nouncement of purposes with which
it enters the contest is more satisfac-
tory, and in respect to the dominant
issue is firmly right when the other is
hopelessly wrong. As regards civil
service reform. though we have had
occasion TO criticise the present ad
ministration for some Of its errors and
failures, we have greater confidence
in Mr.. Cleveland's sincerity and fidel
ity than in the written professions of
party whose leaders are unable to
speak of the reform without sneer
The Times will give Cleveland and
Thurman its hearty support, and will
do what lies in its power, and it is not
commonly an inactive newspaper in a
Presidential contest, TO make their
majority such that there will be no
doubt about it the morning after cleo
ton.

NOT A QUESTION OF FREE TRADE.

NOT A QUESTION OF FREE TRADE.
From the Providence Journal, Rep.
1t is not a question of the theory of
free trade versus that of protection,
although it may take that shape in
the public mind, but the practical one
of Observation-Disclosures shall be ben
Gifted by the admission of free raw
materials, whether our commerce shall
be revived by permission TO purchase
ships cheaply and the markets of the
world opened by an interchange of
commodities without destroying the
protection sufficient to guard against
ruinous wage rates, while at the same
time giving them the stimulus of en-
larged opportunity and wholesome
competition. The Journal be ieves that
upon this question the Democraticpol-
icy and platform are right and that
the Republican policy and platform
are wrong

There is not one person In 100 Of the
millions who travel on railroads In the
course Of year who has any idea of
the speed Of IA train. A large per cent.
Of even the trainmen of the country
cannot tell with any degree OF accu-
racy how fast "A train IL running
Frequently engineers are dispatched
on trip over line OF railroad with
instructions TO run at n certain num-
Der Of miles an hour. The engineers
do not carry a speed indicator, but
have learned by various methods Ia
gauge their engines 80 as to make
only the slightest variation from their
orders.
The majority OF engineers use their
driving wheel as IA gauge. They know
its circumference, and by counting
its revolutions within n certain time
can tell very accurately the speed NJ
which they are running. Another
method Is 10 time the run between
mile posts, and still another In To mako
calculations from the number Of tel
egraph poles passed In IA certain time.
These poles, in "A level country, and
where four or five wires are used, are
from % TO % TO the mile.
The most accurate method, and the
one most in use by experienced rail
road men, IL to count the number OF
railroad joints the train passes over In
twenty seconds The rails In nearly
all cases are thirty feet In length, and
the number passed over in twenty sec

ENFORCE THE AMERICAN IDEA.

From the y. Y. Commercial Advertiser. Rep.
What are we-the people of the
United States-going to do about it?
We will tell you plainly, gentlemen,
monopolists who desire to tax us for
your enrichment, and to make of your
selves our aristocratic rulers. We are
going to enforce the American idea,
which all great parties in this country
have hitherto respected, and to whom
only cranks, Anarchists and Comlnun-
lists have ventured to oppose them
selves. We are going to stand by the
American doctrines of individual lib
erty, personal equality of right, the
economical administration of a gov
ernment that confines itself to the le-
gitimate purposes of government, and
the right of the people to be relieved
of taxation when the government has
