OF BAD ROADS.

The attention of the people of this city
and county must be more given to the con-
sideration of needed good highways. 1t is
TO be confessed that this community is de-
plorably at disadvantage because of poor
roads. A city without numerous inlets
and ways of egress by good, well-kept
wagon roads, is walled in, and shut off
from trade. The good roadway is an artery
of local commerce; the absence of it re-
tards trade circulation, and the develop
ment of the region needing it. The fact
is, that our poorest pieces of roadway are
those nearest to the city. From three d.
rections the approaches to this market by
wagon roads is fair, until within three or
four miles of the heart of the city; then
difficulties of passage are encountered that
operate as barriers to the coming in of the
people of the surrounding country for four
or FIVE months in the year As result,
trade that would otherwise come here by
gravitation is turned to other markets
The people of Sacramento county could
scarcely make better investment, one in
surfing speedier or larger returns, than
the expenditure of from one hundred and
fifty thousand TO two hundred thousand
dollars upon the chief roadways of the
county. The need for them is so pressing
as to justify the assumption Of debt in
that amount for that purpose. If we were
fully awake to the criticisms made by
strangers upon our roads, and to the direct
loss Of time and money to the people, and
to the commercial interest of Sacramento
in this question, We would not suffer the re-

allusion to the position of the farmer in
the new order of things, weakness that
affects the whole structure of his fancy.
He has not the courage to go that far in
his dream, for the reason that he would be
laughed at.
Not even the widest stretch of Imagination

peace and harmony. the sole grantee of all the

And the Rabbi adds that the possibility
of absolute harmony and union among
men is unnatural in the light of all past
experience with human nature. The fric-
ton of minds is inevitable. is. in fact, the
logical sequence of our very being.
1t is the refinement of folly to even venture
the theory that a little more than hundred
years hence there will be such complete con-
sensus of opinion on the theory OF government
as to preclude any further possibility OF change,
