Good Roads and Civilization.

Governor Beaver is about as famil.
lar as anybody with rural Pennsylva.
MIA, and he informs the Legislature
that "no expenditure of public money
yields so little 10 return as the road
taxes of Pennsylvania" He keeps
far within the mark when be says that
Pennsylvania can not claim to rank
highest in civilization if the civiliza.
tion of country is marked by its
roads." He informs the Legislature
that our entire system of road laws
should be thoroughly revised and
codifed.
The Legislature no doubt can i'm.
prove our road laws and a code of
road laws will be received with salts.
faction if it at the same time gives
assurance of the radical improvement
of our roads. The latter need the
service of the road makers much more
than the law makers. Our roads are
constructed on the single principle of
making their first cost as small as
possible, while the cost of maintenance
is limited usually to sum necessary
to keep them passable in good weather.
The system by which this money is
applied is the crudest possible and the
results obtained are almost as bad as
possible. The best roads in the State,
as a rule, are not public highways,
but are the property of private cor.
porations which levy tax on all who
use them and that in the aggregate is
a very heavy burden on those who
must use these toll roads constantly.

they will be at the same time the in

A Beautiful Poem.

Bellefonte Republican,
The following lines are the compo.
silion of Mrs. Rynder, wife of Hon.
Theo. P. Rynder, of Milesburg, the
late candidate for congress in this dis
trict, They we're written especially
for the Christmas celebration held last
Tuesday evening under the auspices Of
the Methodist Sunday School of Miles
burg, and were read on that occasion
"CRowN JEWELS"
go Lord, my crown is a starless one,
No Jewels shine out from its gold;
No sheaves have gathered in life's ripe
field,
No lambs have led to the fold"
"Grant me, Father 1 pray, one dazzling
gen."
Breathed the maiden on bended knee,
"Tbat will shine in the radiance of Heav-
ems light,
It's brillisncy. Lord, all for Thee"
Then she sought the heart of little child.
AS pure as the snow from above,
And into it's warm, cleaning depths she
poured
The news of a Saviours love.
Till the little life grasped in loving clasp
The hand of the Saviour outheld,
And up from the depths of the pure young
life
A Joyous devotion welled.
"I bring Thee, o Father, - the maiden cried,
"a ecstacy almost wild,
"The purest of al aarth's glittering gems,
The love of a sinless child"
~ will seek among men of fame" she
unused,
"Of men who have won renown-
will win from among them a diamond
That will grace a Heavenly crown"
Her message of mercy she lovingly
brought,
To one on whom fame had smiled,
And won for the Lord place in the heart
Which before the vain world had be-
guiled.
81 bring for Thy glory" the worker said,
80 Father, the wealth of the earth
Endowment of brain and soul so rich,
Must a shining light give FORTH
"The wretched and shivering wreck, dear
Lord,
Who twice this day asked me for bread,
Watch over his wandering steps, dear
Lord;
Cover thou his defenseless head.'
"I had but crust to bestow, Thou knowest,
But gave it with blessing and prayer
That the wanderer lonely and sin crushed
! here,
Might find blest home over There"
The hours of the worker had numbered
life's noon
When Deaths messenger babe her to
rest,
And receive from her Master the welcome
"Well done"
AS she entered the realm of the blest.
And, 10, when the jewel decked crown q
reward
She received from her Masters hand,
One gem shone brighter than all of the
rest,
In the glittering golden band.
"'Tis the soul of the wanderer poor and
sin-stained;
Such as these my life-blood has cost"
Said the Master: "No better than this
couldst thou do
Thou hast saved to me one of the lost"

THE Butte Miner very properly OBJ
serves regarding the coming convention
"The time is drawing near for the nomi
nation Of candidates for delegates to the
constitutional convention. Electors
should make up their minds whom they
would prefer. Good men only should be
chosen; men who will see to it that Mon
tana is given a constitution broad and lib.
eral, with as few technicalities as posi-
BILE. Thomas Jefferson declared that
that government was best which govern
ed least. The application is plain. Sim
plicity is preferable to intricacy. Liberty
and the greatest good to the greatest
number, rather than in restrictions at
every turn and complex system OF
numerous office holders to stand sentinel
at every mans door. Under simple and
liberal constitution, industries will thrive,
individuals will not be hampered, taxes
will be light, and thus the ends to be at
tanned by statehood and the constitution
will be secured. To this end, care should
be taken that none but good men be Sc
lected as delegates"

THE CENTENNIAL.


The glorious series of events common
grated by centennial anniversaries is COM
ing to close. 1t began with Lexington
and Bunker Hill and ends fifty with the
adoption Of the constitution and the inau-
guration of General Washington as presi-
dent of the United States at New York
on April 80, 1889. The union had already
been established in fact by the brave col
onists, who fought shoulder to shoulder
from the heights of Abraham to Fort
Moultrie in defense Of American liberty.
1t remained, however, for the states to
form that more "perfect union" which
has made the United States powerful
nation as we'll as a democratic republic.
In Montana the anniversary ought to be
celebrated with patriotic fevor. The
rank and dignity of a state, which we are
about to enjoy, is associated closely with
that memorable compact which it was
the glorious privilege of Washington and
his compatriots to establish.

GREAT FALLS today celebrated with
becoming ceremony the centennial ami
versary of the American union and the
Inauguration of President Washington
two events which are inseperably entwin-
ed in the national annals. In coming
westward our people have carried with
them as precious heritage the immortal
story of the American revolution, which
was rehearsed with pride at the pioneers
fresides a hundred years ago and has
since been repeated by Americans at
home and abroad as the noblesI lesson
they could teach the rising generation.
The citizens who assembled in the Pres
byterian church were all embued with
that spirit of good will and Christian
brotherhood which more than the written
word has made the United States great
and powerful. -s.-..-

WHAT change has elapsed in British
sentiment since George III was king!
William E. Gladstone who is in a fair
way to be soon as premier, the uncrown-
ed ruler of England, writes in this noble
strain: ''Finally l rejoice to be put in
possession OF such declarations at mo-
ment when your great country is about to
celebrate, on the Both inst, the centennial
anniversary of the Inauguration of George
Washington as the first president of the
American commonwealth. I haye been
requested from Chicago and elsewhere to
intimate an assurance Of my participation
in your national Joy. 1t is real
and grateful participation. For
the statesmen of the American revolution
have taken their place once for all among
the greatest political instructors of the
world. George Washington was their
acknowledged and illustrious head, and
to him and them have long felt that l
owed no trivial part of my own public
education. Long, without limit of length,
may that union flourish under the bless
ing and favor of God, with the founda-
tion of which their names are inseparab-
ly associated" g.

HOW TO VOTE.
A Legal Opinion as to the Manner of
Voting at the Coming Election.

Legal Opinion as to the Manner of
Voting at the Coming Election.
As there seems to be some diversity of
opinion as to the manner of voting for
members Of the constitutional convention,
the following extract from a letter on the
subject from Attorney General Clayberg,
will be of general interest. While notau
official opinion it is doubtless the correct
Interpretation of the admission act
1t seems to ME to be very plain from a
reading of the statute that congress in
tended that each elector might vote one
ballot each for two candidates for the po-
sition of delegates to the constitutional
convention. There is no provision in the
statute authorizing or even permitting a
division of votes and no provision which
says that each elector shall be entitled to
three votes, which he might cast for two
or one, or anything of the sort. 1t simply
says that no elector shall be entitled to
vote for more than two candidates. The
statute is very plain to my mind, and It's
purposes is to allow minority represen-
tation in each district, and the proper
thing to do by both parties in any partic-
uial olopllCV, 10 lo1 JIG parry WuO has u
conceded majority to nominate two, and
the other party to nominate one. Where
the vote is close either way, there is no
reason why two should not be nominated
on either ticket and the three receiving
the highest number of votes would be
elected. | do not perceive the necessity
or the policy Of either party in nominal
ing three candidates, unless their majority
IN the district is SO very large that by
strict canvass and instructions to the indi7
vidual voters prior to the date OF election
they can so divide the vote among their
own party as to give their three men the
largest number Of votes. This seems to
me to be absolutely impracticable. There
is no objection under the statute to each
party nominating its three delegates and
allowing each elector to vote for two Of
them. but the danger to be apprehended
from such nomination is that the electors
will misunderstood the statutes and vote
for three instead of two. Such ballot
would be void and would have to be cast
out in counting.

L. W. REAv1s, who died lately, was a
born boomer He wrote book to de-
monstrate that st. Louis will be the great
est city of the United States. He also
advocated the removal Of the capitol
from Washington to the Missouri metrop-
oils. The St. Louis merchants gave the
boomer house. Washington should
give him monument because it was his
st. Louis scheme that enabled "Boss''
Shepherd to procure all the money he
wanted for those extensive improvements
which made the location of the capital
permanent. Reavis wrote life history
OF Horace Greedy, who in response to an
appeal from Reavis, spontaneously re-
commended that the capitol be removed

Sc MI-WEEKLY
THE MONTANA CONSTITUTION.

The practical lesson which the New
York celebration calls to mind is the i'm
portance of state constitutions. The best
constitution in the world will not make a
people good and great, but it is in the
power of such comracts to affect for veal
or woe the general progress of a state or
nation. The wise provisions of the fed
eral constitution have been of inestlmable
service to this country, and are valued as
highly today as when Washington, Jeffer-
son and Hamilton advocated their adop-
ton. They have stood Che test Of time,
because they were based on justice and
expressed formally principles deeply en-
grated in the minds of the American col
onists.
Our people should form their constitu-
ton IN a like spirit. They should rid
themselves of party spirit and lay the
foundations deep and wide of the coming
state. They should like the founders
turn to account the experience and wis
dom of other peoples and other states
They should rise, as they did, above sell
fish interests and allow no provision that
will favor one man more than another in
life's battle. If our people, through their
delegates in convention assembled, pur-
sue this course, their names will be held
in reverence and century hence many
millions may unite in honoring them, as
we now join in honoring the founders of
the American republic.

SOME home truths were told in Butte
on Friday evening by D. R. McGinnis of
the Manitoba railroad in a popular lecture
which he gave, by request, there. He
said: "Butte imports vegetables and
fruits from California, bacon from Omaha
and -four from Minnesota. With the de-
velopment of the great agricultural area
Of northern Montana these staples will
be produced at home and greater pros
perity to the territory will be the result.
Montana has 100000 square miles and
100000 people; less than one person to
each $40 acres The great need of the
territory is an increased population to de-
velope her area of farming lands; solid
farmers who will come into the country
to take their farms, build their dwellings,
place their lands under cultivation and
produce the staples now Imported at great
cost, from the east" s= ."".I. -
