THE Massachusetts Board of Agri-
culture has taken upon itself a good
cause. 1t is considering the import:
ant subject of the construction of bet
ter country roads. There is no ques-
tion that can be brought before a
body of farmers having a more i'm
portant bearing upon their welfare
than that of good roads, and it is a
matter of congratulation that the
question is receiving more and more
attention from them.

EVERYTHING doesn't seem to move
smoothly in Brazil under the new gov
eminent. Trouble has arisen between
the general government and the local
government of the state of Rio Janeiro
and the governor was requested to
resign, but declined to do so. The
indications are that he will be depos-
ed and the province put under mar
tial law, as that is the way they do
things down there.

PRESIDENT MoNTT, of Chill, has
sent the Gillian minister in this
country, letter regarding President
Harrison's message. He declares that
his country is not trying to evade the
responsibility for which it may be
justly held in the late outrage, but in
sists that the proper and ordinary
forms of Gillian procedure must be
observed. He also expresses the opin-
ion that the message shows President
Harrison will await the conclusion of
the investigation now being made by
the Gillian government, before tax
ing any aggressive action. On the
whole the Gillian President assumes
that his government can do about as
it pleases, act when it gets ready, and
all will be we'll In. this, however, he
will find himself mistaken before the
matter is finally closed up.

THE fact that they were not able to
obstruct business before the last con-
gress still rankleS the Democratic
breast. In speaking of the present
congress they say it's deliberations
will be free. Well, the last congress
was strictly business congress, and
as it finished up all the important
work, there will be nothing for the
Democrats of the present House to do
that will need such rules as they had
last year. Besides the Republicans
will not adopt their tactics of obstruc-
tion.
