Good Roads.

A wise man of modern times once wrote
this:
The road is that physical sign or symbol
by which YOU will understand any age or
people. If they have no roads they are
savages, for the road is the creation of man
and type of civilized society. If you wish
to know whether society is stagnant, learn
ing, scholastic, religion a dead formality,
you may learn something by going into
universities and libraries; something also
by the work that is doing on cathedrals and
churches, or in them, but quite as much by
looking at the roads, for if there is any mo-
ton in society, the road, which is the SYM
Dol of motion, will indicate the fact.
The advance herald of good roads in these
time have appeared, we believe; it is the
wheelman-the bicyclist man or woman.
The wheelman is the sign surely of the
coming of good roads, as flowers presage
spring, or Mother Carey's chickens" the
coming of storm at sea. Let US hope so.
at least, for the need of good roads is dire.
As the population increases and more waste
and forest land is brought into cultivation;
with the harvest Of every vast crop such
as the earth is blessed with this year, the
need of good roads becomes palmer, if that
be possible. Best of all, the growing en-
ightenment is making the need palmer.
No state needs good roads more than an
agricultural state-that is plain. The

account of bad roads is simply appalling. If
farmers could have it figured for trem and
placed before them as the value of crop
can be they would account and rightly that
money spent in making good roads would
be the best Investment possible, in;
creasing the value of their farms.
and adding to the value of their
labor The time lost in going to and fro on
bad roads the small loads that must be
hauled; the difficulties sometimes insgr-rs
mountable in bad weather, which they pre-
sent all mean a money loss that foots up
vast amount; deprivation, a keeping
away of many facilities, of comforts which
good roods would lead to. There is Do
work of supremer Importance as State
that Indiana can consider than the york of
making good roads.
They should be undertaken Generally,
thoroughly, systematically. Pant of the
work would be the planting OF trees olf
either side as the work of making the go9d
road bed goes on, and thus would be. dQ1rss
double service-for Indiana is already
suffering sadly and will suffer worse from
the denuding of her acres which the destruc-
ton of trees is yearly doing. A broad, com
prehensive, persistent work of making good
roads throughout the state, and every side
of them planted with trees, would in a few
years give us highways touching every
corner, affording easy communication at all
times of the year and made firmer and more

NOTWITHSTANDING that the ST.
Louis national convention of the anti
sub-treasury Alliance failed to take
steps for the reorganization of the AL
lance on non-political basis, the
members of the order in Texas who
are opposed to the Macunizing of the
Alliance are taking steps to reorganize
it. A meeting has been called at Dali
las on the 31st to take such steps as are
necessary to this end. The farmers
who have left the Alliance and have
been expelled from it on account of
their opposition to the sub-treasury
would make a pretty strong organiza-
ton when united in non-poIitical AL
lance.

"sTRAw" DEMOCRATS.

The Waco Day thinks that 'the
Bosque county Democratic resolutions
are but a straw showing how the wind
blows. 1t will be a gale before it is
over. Mr.. Finley is certain to hear
from the people in protest to his pro-
posed reading out of men who are as
good Democrats as he is"
The "Bosque county Democratic
resolutions" were the product of six
teen sub-treasuryites, who, by resolu-
ton adopted by the order to which
they bear allegiance, are pledged to
oppose any candidate for any office I'M
less he accepts the Ocala demands as
his creed.
Those Democratic" resolutions
which the Day looks upon as straw
showing which way the wind blows,
contained, among other things, this:
eve, the Democracy of precinct No. 4,
heartily approve the platform of prin-
ciples as set forth at Ocala, Fla, De-
cember, 1890" And this, notwithstand
ing the Democratic state convention of
Texas has declared against the sub
treasury idea as contained in the Ocala
platform.
The Day can find ''straws" enough, if
it is looking for straws. There is one,
for instance, in the resolutions adopted
at the Republican meeting in Dallas a
few days ago, which were passed by
the same kind of Democrats as adopted
the Bosque county resolutions.

DEMOCRATS AND DEMOCRATS.

There is class of Democrats in
Texas whose livery changes with the
weather. We call them Democrats be-
cause they insist upon calling them
selves Democrats. 1t is title by cour-
tesy, to which they have scant right.
For purposes of distinction we may call
them Big-I Democrats, for they are
Democrats only when They are con-
suited in the direction of affairs and
Their advice is followed.
1t is the misfortune of the chairman
of the state Democratic executive COM
nittee that he has ventured to take a
step in party policy without the APP
proval of the Big-I's. A member of
county Democratic committee ceased
to be Democrat las he had a right to
do) and took up the heresies of the
party's enemies, declaring that 'if the
sub-treasury was anti-Democratic he
was no Democrat" As the state Dem
ocratic platform had very plainly
voiced the party view that the SUBJ
treasury was anti-Democratic, the
other members of the committee re-
quested the resignation of the sub
treasury member. The chairman of
the state executive committee being
appealed to, he very strongly sustained
the action of the county committee.
This action on his part, being taken
without consultation with the Big-I
crowd, has brought upon him and the
party he speaks for the severe reproba-
ton of the neglected party.
The signs are that the Big-I's will
endeavor to ''get even" with the reg
ular Democrats by coalition with the
sub-treasury enemies of the party.
This step appears to have been in con-
temptation for long while, but the
opportunity has been lacking, and they
were deficient in courage. When the
railroad commission was adopted as the
demand of the party in the San An
tonic convention they threatened bolt,
and fought it at the polls. They sided
with the enemies Of the party and en-
deavored to defeat the commission in
the legislature by bringing forward the
elective" clause. Beaten at all these
points, and smarting with wounded
vanity, the next step is to endeavor to
overthrow the party by calling in the
sub-treasury mercenariss.
Now mark the words: The Demo-
cratic party of Texas will have to fight
not only the sub-treasury following, but
it will have to contend against these
alleged Democrats, who, if they cannot
have their way, will not hesitate to
embarrass the party by giving all the
aid and encouragement they can to its
foes. The first step to that end has be-
gun in the assault they are making
upon they chairman of the partys ex-
ecutive committee because he has de-
clared that man must be Democrat
before he can take part in a Democratic
convention, or be a member of an ex-
ecutive committee of that party,

NOTHING truer was ever writ than
this by the Atlanta Herald, and if any
Texan doubts it, let him consider his
own welcome to Kansas orators who
come here to tell US how to vote: ut
is great mistake to presume on this
thing Of sectional peace to the extent
of sending Southern orators into
Northern districts. There is danger
of iniuring the Democracy, not in
driving Democrats off, but in failing to
capture recruits from the element that
is debating the matter. This had
something to do with the result in the
last presidential campaign, doubt it as
You may. The best policy is to pour
oil ON the troubled waters at a dis
lance"

A TEXAS exchange remarks that
1.-THE chairman of the Texas Democ-
racy is evidently thorough believer
in the doctrines of falling from grace
and OF restoration. Last year he said
let 'em in, however recent their con-
version. Now he says fire 'em out,
however recent their falling from the
doctrines" Well, isn't that good doc
trine? When men repent of their i'll
deeds and want to get in the Demo-
cratic party, and reform, shall we
harden our hearts and keep them out?
And when, being in with the elect,
hey rebel and turn against their
brethren, shall we not eject them and
put them among the other sinners?
That is gospel and Democratic faith.

1t will not pay Southern farmers
to raise less cotton unless they raise more
of other things to make up for
this. Farmers must have money, but if
they raise plenty of corn, wheat, oats, hay
horses, mules, hogs, cattle, sheep, chickens,
turkeys, ducks and geese. and also plenty
fruit for home use, they could get along
with much less money. Cotton will do for
money crop or surplus crop. but it
should not be allowed to crowd out every
thing else.

EVERY WOMAN
Should BeBeautifuI!

So says Jenness-Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and a celebrated
writer in medical journal says: "Face
powders and toilet preparations have
legitimate use in the toilette of every
woman and use properly made need
not any more than the proper use of a
perfume displease any one, while it
cannot be denied that they add to the
personal beauty and attractiveness and
give to the wearer an expression that
can be interpreted by any practical OBJ
server to mean that THIS WOMAN is NEAT
AND CAREFUL ABOUT HER PERSON AND
HOLDS JUST PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HER
SELF. In the use of toilet preparations
it is easy to distinguish the well-bred
from the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush Med
ical College and P. A. surgeon U. S. M.
H. S., writes without reserve on a
kindred subject. What he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.
W. M. Wisdom-Dear Sir: AS you
requested, 1 have examined the formula
of your toilet preparation called Rober-
tine. 1 can assure you that the ingred-
tents are both bland and harmless, and
that the compound would form an
excellent application in irritated con-
ditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the "per-
lection" in toilet article. Once tried
always used-such is its history.
