BETTER ROADS NEEDED.

The general discussion of road
making now going on all over the
country should have special interest
for Texas, new state so badly In need
of passable highways, at least in the
black-waxey sections. II old states
like Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois and
Pennsylvania feel the need of better
system of highways, how much more
should the western hall of Texas real
ize such need. In view of the need, a
Connecticut paper thus discusses the
subject: SIT is possible, and it begins
to look probable, that We shall yet have
better roads in this country. The mat
ter is quite generally discussed, and
the people are receiving considerable
instruction regarding the advantages
OF good roads. Moreover, the educa-
tors have hit upon an excellent plan
for spreading knowledge concerning
this important matter. A department
of scientific road building is to be es-
tablished at the Worlds fair, which
will give practical illustration of the
proper way to build road to the hun
dreds of thousands who will visit that
exhibition-the practical illustration
having been repeatedly proved to be
the best form of education discovered
up TO date
"There is great need of such instruc-
ton. This country is at least CEN
fury behind most OF the European
countries in road building. In France,
for instance, there is fine system of
roads. Six hundred engineers and in
spectors in the road department OF the
government are on duty and close in
spection OF all road plans by these Of
ficers is required. The result is that
excellent highways are found in all
parts of France, and that the country
people appear more content than it is
reasonable to suppose they would ii it
were not for the ease of communication
between the farms and the towns. They
practice excellent methods Of farming,
and it is the good roads which to a
great extent enable them to do this,
for they can get their products, how
ever perishable, cheaply and quickly
to market.
''In this country we give the care Of
a little piece of road into the keeping
of one farmer, and trust another brief
stretch to . second farmer, irrespective

Fl. S. POMEEoY has written an ans
wer to the Malthusian doctrine and de-
signed to allay the fears of those who
are troubled about the over-population
OF the world. In reference to the fear
of over-population he protests that
Florida is large enough to provide
comfortable homes for the present pop
ulation of the globe, and that Texas is
big enough for graveyard for all
who have lived.

EDITOR GRAPH1c-Perhaps a
few words from this part of the
country would interest some of the
numerous readers of the good old
Graphic.
Well 7 can say l am better pleased
with this city than l expected to
be. The citizens are very hospit-
able and strive to make strangers
feel at home while looking for a
location among them.
This is undoubtedly a fine fruit
country, and in fact everything
farmers plant grows vigorously.
Wheat looks fine here now and
will be ready for the reaper In
about two weeks. Some fields of
corn have been plowed three times,
and some is late and quite small
yet. The prospect is good for a
bountiful crop of fruit,
1t would astonish an Adair
county farmer to see the grain and
vegetables growing so luxuriantlv
on ground that is completely COW
cred with stones and gravel.
l have bought eleven acres,
three blocks from the public
square. Have plenty OF straw
berries, grapes, plums, one hund-
red and fifty apple trees, and fine
prospect for an abundance of
peaches, good buildings, never
failing we'll of pure water.
We have no railroad here yet,
but there is a prospect for one Ill
the near future; then fruit raising
will pay we'll here. One straw
berry grown in this city, last week
measured five and q half iaches In
circumference, and weighed over
one ounce. Our NJ. Il. minister,
weighed and measured it. We
now have new potatoes, peas, and
vegetables in plenty.
Times are dull. but any man
with energy and money TO start on
can make a good living here.
This is a rough country for farm
ing as it is mountainous and rocky
but there are some fine farms, aud
the climate is excellent. We are
only twelve miles from the ia
nous health resort, Eureka
Springs. There is fine timber
here, pine. cedar, oak, DC.
Yours truly,
j. M. CRAWFORD.

The union of the Farmers
Alliance, Citizens Alliance and
Knights of Labor formed at Gin
cinneti call themselves the Poo
pies party. The peculiarly of
peoples parties' of this kind us
ually is that the people persistent
ly vote for some other party when
the deceive moment comes. II
will not be different in this case.
Parties are not made they grow,
and when more than two grow in
one garden patch the third IS Il
weakling.
ALI of the newborn politi-
cal reformprs are loud in their de-
nuncietion of the National banks,
and favor the suppression of Ma
tional bank circulation. But the
continued trade against the Ma
tlonsl banks only reveals the ig-
norsnce of the men engaged in the
crusade against them. The fact Is
there would not be a National
bank note in circulation if it were
not for the compulsion OF Con-
gress. The reason is the business
does not psy. A little more in
vestigation on the part of political
reformers would Iced to less talk,
and greater show of common
sense in their platforms and
speeches.
The English are very much
opposed to trade reciprocity be-
tween the United States and
the South and Central American
Nations because it promises to de-
prive the English of very profit
able trade which they have had
for some time, and perhaps that is
the reason why the Mugwump pa
pers, which are always ready to
stand up for what will benefit Eng
land are trying to throw cold water
on reciprocity agreements. But
If we mistake not q great majority
of the people of this country want
the interests of America looked
out for first of all, and that's the
idea tnat the Republican party has
always believed in. America first;
the rest of the world afterwards.

No more elaborate and general
observance of the ceremonies of
Memorial day WIS ever held hare
than those OF this year. After
more than week of rainy, dis
agreeable weather the 30th was

and not q soldiers grave was left
undecorated, and Arlington ceme-
cry never looked more beautiful.
1t seems to be the general opin-
ion here that England will eventu-
ally agree to Secretary Blaine g
proposition for closed season in
Behring's Sea this year; but there
are few who believe that it is al
ready too late TO stop the killing
of seals this season, and some
think that Lord Salisbury, in 60
ing to Parliament for authority to
agree to Mr.. Blaines proposition,
is only Intentionally killing time
SO as to make it too late to inter-
fere with the Canadian vessels
which are already illegally taking
seals. All adm.t that it will be
extremely difficult, even if both
countries earnestly try, to prevent
illegal sealing, after waiting until
SO late in the season.
