President Andrews, Brown university;
81 have no doubt the value of farming
land in Rhode Island might be raised at
least 20 per cent. by generous and judi
cious expenditure upon the roads"
Governor Beaver: "One supervisor lin
a township and cash taxes would be a
capital beginning in the right direction.
A series of state roads constructed to fol-
low old lines of highways should be sup
ported by the commonwealth"
Governor Ladd: ITO keep well built
roads in good repair, under intelligent
supervision and single authority, is not
costly. A poor road is costly under all
circumstances"
Governor Hill: These state roads
would not only prove of great conven-
fence and vast advantage to the whole
community, but would serve as object
lessons to the local authorities, the erect
of which would necessarily tend to i'm.
prove the ordinary town highways and
prove of inestimable benefit. 1t is not
believed that the people of the cities of
the state would object to this improve
ment, but that, on the contrary, they
would hail it with pleasure"

''At present in some parts of our state
there is a gradual shrinkage in the value

FENCING IN AND FENCING OUT

ment schools and religion.
If you would teach the horses to get
over good fences, put poor fences in their
way.
Usually the man who allows weeds to
grow in the fence corners thereby part
ly conceals a poor fence; but the hogs
know his folly.
T%wo-thirds of our fencing is required
to restrain one-tenth of the live stock of
the tarms-the tenth that pastures on
the highways. This is certainly bad

A Plea for Better Roads in New England.
New England seems to be pretty thor
oughly aroused to the importance of
good roads, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing portion of an editorial which ap-
peared recently in The Boston Globe.
If the farmers in the different towns
in New England would but stop to take
thought, and instead of "mending"
would thoroughly make over their roads,
they would find that this fundamental
improvement alon" had greatly in
creased the value of their farms just as
they lie, without any increase in the cost
Of their cultivation.
The reason for it Is obvious enough.
Perfect roads are the equivalent of
bringing a farm so much nearer the
market, and that is just what all farm
ers are eager to do. No computation
can be made of the waste of power to
which our farmers annually submit in
horsefcsh, wagons, harnesses. time and
temper in worrying their way with load
ed tcams from one town to another over
roads unfit for common travel.
1t of course costs more to lay ont and
finish a truly good and serviceable road
at first, but it is by all odds the cheapest
in the end.
More than all, it is for the interest OF
the cities of a state and the business that
supports them that the roads of the state
should be made in "A substantial manner
and maintained in the highest state OF
improvement. A vastly larger amount
of produce of all kinds would pour into
the several local markets if the distance
to the producers ON the farms could be
practically shortened by the establish
ment of good roads. The social and
other advantages may for the present be
left out of the account. The first adj
vantages are to the farmers, the towns,
the markets and the general bushes IS of
the cities. The town that will start oui
to illustrate this fact in a practical way
will enjoy a distinction worth far more
than it will cost.

ALABAMA'S ROADS.
A Lively Campaign for Their Improve
mcnt Is Being Carried On.

A Lively Campaign for Their Improve
mcnt Is Being Carried On.
The importance of good roads is rea-
Lied in Alabama as elsewhere, rs is
shown by the following from the editorial
page of The Montgomery Advertiser:
alabama must have good public
roads. They must be passable all the
year round. The future prosperity and
progress of the state requires it, the tax
payers demand it, and the members of
the general assembly will be derelict in
their duty if they fail to consummate
some plan for the procurement of a thing
so essential to the growth and advance
ment of this section. The road laws will
be the most important subject to be con-
sidered by Legislators"
A plea for new road laws, which con-
tains some good suggestions, is made by
Alabama" in The Agricultural Journal
as follows:
The next legislature will be a farmer
legislature, no doubt. Generally farm
ers are practical men. Now let some
of them champion a road law through.
The trouble heretofore has been that as
o as "a man was elected he began at
once to plume himself for a second term,
and would do nothing which would
make him unpopular.
1t will be the greatest service any
man can render his state to press
through a wise road law. If he is left
at home next time what matters it if
he got the law through?
l am sure after a trial of it for a few
years the people will crown him with
all the honor he deserves.
| write this hoping to get the opinions
of solne of the wisest men.
Let it be settled that we will let out
the roads by contract.
To do this let a tax of fifty cents a
wear be placed on every male from IS to
60, twenty-five cents on every horse,
mule. steer, wagon or other vehicle,
and ten cents on every acre of land.
Let the contracts be let to men who
will give bond.
Let the changes in the road be de-
scribed, the grade, width, etc, in the
contract.
Let the parties pay the tax or work it
u dl SuCI DIl1co DO Jucy anu lllt COl-
tractors may agree upon, all changes in
the roads to be agreed upon by a COM
mlttee of citizens along the route and a
competent engineer employed by the
board of revenue Many of our roads
were made to run up and down very
steep hills; with a very little expense the
hills can be avoided and the roads made
no longer.
All the present laws discriminate in
favor Of the land owner. The ina with
out Il horse or cart is burdened as much
as the man who owns thousands of acres
and fifty head of stock. No wonder they
hate road making.
The suggestion above remedies this
and equalizes the burden.
With one good working many miles
of our public highways would not need
to be touched again for several years
the contractor could thus have more time
to devote to bad roads.
The saving to the farmer and the in.
crease in the value Of property would
richly repay for all outlay in taxes
Let something be done. Every winter
our people curse the roads. and roat
overseers and road laws; but when the
spring and summer come and dry then
off they forget their abuse. The condi
ton Of our roads during winter ant
spring is a disgrace to any people.

SALISBURY COMMENDED.
He Has Conducted the Quarrel With
Portugal Successfully.

LONDON, August 22-Tho papers are con-
graduating Lord Salisbury upon the success
full settlement of the dispute between England
and Portugal, which at one time threatened to
result in war. Though a conflict at arms with
Portugal could hardly have ended otherwise
than in a victory for England, yet the popular
feeling was very strongly averse to a resort to
force, and the peaceful ooncusi of the affair is
hailed with pleasure by all classes and parties.
The sentiment of the English people displayed
throughout this controversy is a striking indi-
cation Of the change which has gradually come
over the public mind in recent years in regard
to war. Some years ago the mere fact that
Portugal was q small and weak nation would
not have been regarded any reason for re-
framing from a war which promised to add o
considerable area of valuable territory to
British dominons. The war with the brave
little community of Beers in South Africa is a
proof Of this fact, and it can hardly be doubted
that the shame which that bsrbarous crushing
Of a liberty-loving and inoffensive people re-
fected upon England is largely responsible
for the change Of feeling referred to. Lord
Salisbury has, by his course in the Portugal
affair, recovered some Of the prestige which
had been lost on account Of the ill-success Of
many OF his efforts in home politics.
