Good Roadsy--The Baltimore S,ia, ever
on the alert where the real interests oi the
people OF the State are concerned, in no
cent able article on the desirability of good
roads, gives the following advice;
"In very short while we are TO have a
grand oonvocatlon of bieyclers In Hagcrs'
town, and ii ought to be suggested at this
great meeting that the ground work of the
wheelmen should he made solid, OF course
this assemblage will not he composed ex'
clusively of Maryland bicycle riders, but II
is all the more important for that reason, as
il Will reach up to the dignity and import
ance of great national convention, whose
influence may be exerted all over the Union
as well as here at home We want good
streets in Baltimore city and good roads 10
all the counties Of the State for daily traffic,
as well as ior the promotion Of bicycling,
and there should be no county convention,
or State convention, or city convention OF
political parties this summer in which q
resolution is not passed iavoring this object.
Some of the farmers alliances have already
taken action looking to road improvements,
and the subject Is important enough To en-
gross much more earnest attention, with
determined remedial purposes in view, than
has been hitherto developed, Much of ths
past winter has been occupied in discussion,
and the subject is so well understood thai
the people are prepared To act intelllgently
Let them do II on a comprehensive scale y
the interests of progressive developmentaAl
as a thing absolutely necessary to the We
being of the whole State"

Eleotrlo Road,-Durinr the past 10

Electric Road,-During the past lew
days considerable speculation has been In
dulged In here In regard to tho building OF
the Tenallytown and Rockville Electric
Railroad, aud from the best Information oh
tainable II Is tho ught that the road will be
pushed to com pletlon at no distant day
The track has been completed and the rails
laid down to point On the old Georgetown
road distant only about four miles nom this
town, Another significant fact In this con-
neotion Is that there are at presentat Wash
ington four electric ears, one closed and
three summer cars, upon which arc in'
scribod "Tennallytown and Rockville Rail-
road Company" This looks like business,
aud we hope 1t may not be long before the
road is completed,
