Baltimore Herald.

1t is this season of the year that the greatest
inconvenience arises from bad roads in the Ma
ryland counties. Drenching rains and contin-
nous travel have their perfect work about
the middle of Nov'r each year, and the annual
complaint comes up to the County Commits
sioners that roads are everywhere out of repair.
This year is no exception to the rule, and the
excitement of the recent political canvass has
not been sufficient to drown the usual lament.
That country roads in Maryland are bad is
not because large sums of money are not annu-
ally spent upon them. Quiteto the contrary, a
considerable portion ofthe tax levy is devoted to
this purpose, and it is necessary to look beyond
the lack of revenue for an explanation of the
difficulty.
For instance, in Baltimore county this year
Is cents on the 800 was levied for roads, which
yielded about 900. Special levies called for
in two or three districts amounted to S25, 600,
and the entire sum has been spent upon the
county roads. THERE'S, however, as great COM
plant as usual, and the Commissioners are be-
sieged from every side to give relief in one form
or another. But none can be given at this late
hour, and bad roads must become worse, until
funds from the new levy can be made available
next year.
1t may be that $751; year is not sufficient
to provide good roads all over Baltimore county.
But it is large sum of money and ought to
produce appreciable results. Still, if the COM
plants which come from various parts of the
county are to be relied upon, no such results
are apparent.
AS we have often said the road system in
Maryland is essentially defective. In the first
place, the County Commissioners are burdened
with heavy responsibilities. The needs of
county government are many and diversified,
and the Commissioners cannot give attention
to the matter of roads which the subject ur-
gently demands. There is need of q special
commission to look after the highways, one of
which shall be practical engineer or, better
still, the care ofthe highways should be turned
over to the districts under the supervision of a
superintendent ofroads, supported by the State
out roads, properly draining and grading them,
and seeing that they are properly constructed
and repaired. In other words rational re-
form in the road system is what is needed
rather than heavier taxes and more money

A Whole Mountain of Chalk.


Last winter the discovery of huge noun
tain of pure chalk in Union county, one mile
from the Alexander county line, three miles
from the line of the Grand Tower and Carbon
dale Railroad, and within three miles of the
Mississippi river, was announced; but until
the past few weeks the magnitude of the find
was not appreciated, inasmuch as the work of
development had not proceeded to any extent.
The mountain is about $50 feet high, and from
borings thus far made there does not appear to
be any limit to the chalk substance. The
mountain is the property of Jonathan Peery.
whose residence is at Mount Vernon ILL.,, and
who is Just now putting the chalk on the cars
at SIS per ton. The chalk is found by scratch
ing away about foot of the soil, when the
pure white substance is exposed in solid mass,
unalloyed by any foreign element, apparent
ly as pure as the driven snow. The discovery
is the more important from the fact that it is
said to be the only chalk bank known in the
United States, and as it is convenient to the
railroad and to the Mississippi river, where it
may be handled in barges, its value is not like
ly to be over-estimated. A company of CAPT
talists in this city are investigating the mine,
with a view to purchasing the entire property.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4th, seems to have been
a great day for Democrats all over the country
Even old Massachusetts, elected Democratic
Governor and gained two Democratic Congress
men. Virginia and West Virginia are solidly
Democratic, as are also South Carolina, North
Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and
Kentucky. In Kansas the Farmers Alliance
made heavy inroads in the Republican ranks,
cutting down the majority to something like
$1,000. The Republicans have lost several Con-
gressmen in that State-in fact the same may
be said of nearly every Republican state that
voted. The old Keystone State of Pennsylva-
MIA again slipped her hawser and elected Patti
son Governor by about 5000 majority. The
other Republican candidates on the State ticket
were elected. Ohio went Republican on the
State ticket, but the Democrats made gains in
Congressman. Mckinley, the father of tariff
BILL was one ofthose defeated. The next Con-
gress will be strongly probably
by majority of one hundred. Tuesday was
an emphatically "off" day in an ''off' year
for Republicans everywhere.

This is an Outrage on the Public.


Some So, 3O7. 8O6 was contributed for the re-
lief of the sufferers from the Johnstown flood
in May, 1889, of which 1892, 246 was entrust-
ed to the commission appointed by Governor
Beaver. According to the analysis pub
lished in the New York Herald, the distri-
button shows a scandalous abuse of sacred
trust. The money was contributed solely to
relieve present human suffering and distress at
Johnstown, but $3.50, 900 was sent into the Sus-
quehanna and Juniata Valleys, when that
amount was not needed for relief purposes ;
$179,033 went for buildings, rent and labor on
buildings; $50, 485 for land for cemetery and
for interring bodies, $4,000 for a permanent
hospital, $3.50 to restore the Cambria Iron Com
pany's bank, S41, OSS for new steam fire engines
s2,743 for a survey of the rivers and $S2028
for bridges. This misuse of the charity fund
suggests that perhaps more money was given
by the generous public than was required to
There was need for the money, but it did not,
it seems, all reach the needy.

A GOOD many people are looking for land
along or near the line of the Maryland Central
Railroad. This is not only due to the fact that
the country through which the line passes is one
of the most beautiful in Maryland, but men of
good judgment are beginning to see that when
the Belt line is completed and the Maryland
Central is made standard-gauge, that property
on and near it must enhance in value. There
can be no doubt about this and time will prove
it, Hundreds of acres of beautifully laying
land are now in the market and can be bought
at very reasonable figures, yet some of the
would-be purchasers still think it too high
and are waiting for further decline before
they buy This they will never see. If they
have any intention of investing in real estate,
either for homes for themselves or for specula-
tive purposes the time to do it is nor.
