There are few roads in the town where re-
pairs are more badly needed than the
Moudon road. at least from the road to the
Ashton mill TO Lonsdale Above this
point there is not nearly so much heavy

road is in a bad condition. It is hoped,
therefore, that the highway committee
will turn their attention TO il before the
regular winter weather appears.

BRUTUS DALZELIL

The political fortunes of Senator
MATT S. QUAY are placed in jeopardy.
Something worse than ibelous news
papers rears its horrid front before him,
and an evil more tangible than mug
wump denunciation cOnfronts him.
More slippery grow the stepping stones
upon which he essays to mount to-
ward fame. Congressman DALZELI4, of
Pennsylvania, reluctantly announces
himself candidate for the senatorial
toga in which the eminent boss of the
Quaystone state now dispOrts himself.
The declaration of war is issued by
DALZELL; The shrill pipe of the bos' un'S
whistle abruptly terminates the wassail
of riOtous marines in the cockpit; drums
beat to quarters; boarding nets are be-
layed ito the rattlinS; powder monkeys
turn pale and the decks are cleared
for action. The dagger of BBUTUs
DALZELL is drawn against CESAR
QUAY.
But it seems from Washington dis
patches that this confession of antago-
niSm to the Boss is fairly wrung from the
lips of Mr.. DALZELL. Though polit-
lCdl luOl. lids Octu SlldbItTcu, H6 Will lily
and bear up under it heroically-and
try to secure Senator QUAY's seat. The
assumed naiyete of MIR. DALZELL is
carried off in great shape. For quite a
while he has noticed, with pain, the
steady growth of a now widespread
sentiment in Pennsylvania against the
re- detection of the Boss. In this senti-
ment, wholly apart, of course, from any
personal consideration, Mr.. DALZELL
sincerely concurs. Logically, it follows
that If the Pennsylvania legislature
! ''cOncurs" as strongly and sincerely as
does Congressman DALZELL, the latter
will glide easily and gracefully into the
senatorial toga now worn, decollete, by
Senator QUAY. Meanwhile the eminen:
boss of the Quaystone state is supposed
to be at bay, with a dismal prospect
ahead of being sacrificed to make Dali
zellian holiday. Quayism must be re-
buked, and Congressman DALZELL is
ready to lead the rebuking party if they
will kindly let him do so.
