THERE can be but one opinion of the
need of a government building at this
place. We need larger post Office
building and the government should own
1t. With the present uncertain tenure
office no postmaster is willing to proper
ly tit up building, because it becomes
so mnch dead capital when change OF
administration produces a change of
postmasters. Ii the government owned
the building it could be furnished witt
reference to its permanent use as a post
Office and we would have better accom-
modations. Every one will bid Mr..
Schuette godspeed in his efforts to secure
an APPROXIMATION for this place.

Dr.. THOMAS is one of the most schol-
arly men in the lecture field His lecture
on Monday night was better snited to a
popular audience than those profound
disquisitions for which he is noted He
began in that slow, measured form of ex-
PRECISION peculiar to him, practically the
soliloquy of philosopher. Having fixed
a rational basis for mans symmetrical
growth, he proceeded to deal with every
day facts selecting those which properly
contribute to the healthy development of
man in moral, physical and an esthetic
direction. The unchangeableness and
eternity OF moral laws were skillfully used
| to prove the Immortality of reason and
| the existence of a Hereafter. And still
| there was not vestige of doctrine nor
an appeal to authority. He broadens re-
ligion SO as to include all who have as
| plratlons to he worthy and who strength
! en- character by the exercise of self-con-
| troll.
The latter portion of his lecture could
be easily followed but its value lay chief
~ IN its reference to the principles he
established in opening Possibly he left
| the impression that amusements may
properly be pursued with avidity, but
only to those who took a superficial view
OF his argument. There has been nothing
| In the course so far as valuable as this
lecture, nor is there any in that which
is to come to be comparable to it. It is
little unfortunate the weather should
| have prevented a better attendance and
there is real cause for regret that the
| clowaish performance of Frank Lincoln
| should draw an audience almost twice as
great as did the scholarly discourse Of
! DR.. Thomas.

WHAT to do with country roads so that
they may be passable in winter, is ques-
IN demanding consideration. The con-
dition of the main roads this winter must
convince farmers that some change In the
manner of making roads is imperatively
demanded. Many farmers are fearful OF
putting their teams on the roads at all,
and those who do come to market with
produce take very light loads. Wire
fences do not solve the problem. On
roads which are travelled to any consider
able extent, those portions fenced by wire
are by all odds the worst. The snow
keeps drifting on the track in small guam
titles, but regularly, and soon the road be-
comes an elevated one from which hors-
es are apt to tumble should they make a
misstep. Wide roads are always good.
Wherever the road is four rods wide there
is no difficulty. The snow drifts near the
fence protects the track. But the ten
dency IN this county is to make the roads
narrow. What is known as the Green
Bay Road does not average two rods in
width throughout this county. Every
time road fence is removed a few feet
OF the road is taken in by the farmer, and
the result is that this main thoroughfare
is reduced to the dimensions, laterally, of
a lane. 1t is the worst road in the com
ty, except perhaps, what is called the
Mislncott road which is SO narrow in
parts as to scarcely permit teams to pass
one another. Town boards should do
something to save the roads. IF they
neglect to do SO the county board should
take somo action. Calumet county is
said to have roads of legal width and has
no trouble with snow blockades. The
first step toward improvement should be
in the direction Of making the roads four
rods wide.

refusal to indorse Mr.. Platt's claims. Trouble
has been brewing since the arrival in this
town of Postmaster Joe Marley, of Augusta,
Me. Mr.. Manley came to New York on the
urgent invitation of Mr.. Platt. Steve Elkins,
just now of Deer Park, Md, was telegraphed
to meet Mr.. Manley, but for some reason did
not show up
Mr.. Miller objected to Mr.. Manley's visit
He knew its purpose 1t was TO receive from
Mr. Patt thai anxious gentleman's solemn
assurance that if Mr.. Blaine, who had a slim
chance of cabinet place anyhow, would
throw up his chances and throw down his In

Manley and the two Fords held a long, close
conference at the United States express COM
pany's Office, and Mr. Manley carried his
gripsack TO the Boston express with the air
of a man who had the state of New York
