PROGRESS OF THE ROAD MOVEMENT.

The organization at Chicago on Thurs
day of national body to urge the work
of road reform indicates that steady prog
ress is being made toward the success Of
the movement of which THE DISPATCH
was one of the earliest supporters.
The DISPATCH started into the work
Of urging road improvement two years
ago by its road expedition to show the
great need of improved highways. Since
that time it has not ceased to urge the re-
form. 1t has seen the movement grow
from one with scattered but always en-
thusiastic adherents to force of the size
of which forms national organization,
with delegates from all parts of the coun-
try and the Governors Of all the States on
its list of officers, either personally or by
proxy. 4.
The good work is bound to go on. The
same rate of progress will make it not
many years until we shall see all parts of
the country made accessible at all seasons
of the year by smooth and solid highways.

PICTURESQUE parade patriotism is most

PICTURESQUE parade patriotism is most
excellent thing in its way, and to be encour-
aged for tie enthusiastic sentiment which
it fosters. But patriotism should not stop
short at pageantry, nor even at the willing
ness to sacrifice oil personal interests for
the welfare Of the nation in times Of trouble
and grave emergencies. Patriotism has
most practical uses in times of peace and
prosperity. II it is to be made something
more than n mere poetic abstract quantity,
it must bo applied to the everyday common
place routine of city, State and national
government. No good citizen can abstain
from studying the needs of his country and
municipality, and exercising all his power
to aid in tie achievements of what he be-
lieves to be for the greatest good of the
greatest number.

Two weeks and half will bring the cleo
tion to the polls. Time Is short now and it
is high time for the business ins tinct OF the
country to thoroughly awake to the vast
importance of the crisis which approaches.
Sound finance and the safety of American
industries are the batteries OF the one
party, while an unstable currency and utter
disregard for national commercial interests
are the terrific war whoops of the other. Lot
the mon of affairs. the men. of observance
and the man Of conscience choose between
them and vote accordingly, ana the result
cannot be doubtful. a.

Mr.. ADLAI STEVENSON confined himsel
to indorsing ex-Presidont Clevelands ut
terances in the brief letter of acceptance
given out some time ago. In the longer doc
ument, the publication of which is promised
before the election, Mr.. Stevenson might
very profltably point out how the varying
views of Messrs. Cleveland, Hill and Waiter
son are to be reconciled with the Chicago
platform and just what the Democratic
party proposes to substitute for the present
Protective measure. But he is very likely
to evade the task as altogether beyond his
literary and logical ability.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-22
THEY CAN'T AGREE.

While the Democracy have been taking
great pains to harmonize the practical
politicians, even to the extent of Mr..
Cleveland's hobnobbing with enemies that
he formerly made, there has been an evil
dent neglect of the work of harmonizing
the theorists. This nowhere appears
more striking than in the divergence of
Democratic usterances as to what the real
Democratic doctrine is with regard to the
protective tariff.
First there was the platform. No doubt
is possible as to what that means. But
after its manifest meaning had been
dwelt upon for some weeks the eminent
Democratic leaders made haste to get
away from it. MI. Cleveland avowed that
there would be no radical disturbance of
the tariff, and Senator Hill bent his in
tellect to the task of showing that mod
crate amount of unconstitutional protec-
ton of the incidental variety was just the
thing. This was supposed to let the party
out from under the burden of Calhounism,
with which it had enthusiastically laden
itself at Chicago.
But certain eminent Democrats dis
tinctly refuse to let it stand on that. Mr.
F. B. Coudert, of New York, in recent
speech declared that 1.-THE arguments for
protection are worn threadbare," which is
an unkind stab at his candidates promise
that the threadhare protection shall be
mitigated very gently. President Eliot,
of Harvard, declared that the Democracy
is about ''to swing the country from pro-
lection to free trlde," which goes far
toward giving the lie to the assertions of
Mr.. Cleveland and Senator Hill to the
contrary. But the most ruthless smasher
of the Cleveland-Hill dodge is Frank
Hurd, of Toledo. He took occasion in a
recent speech to understand the platform
to declare that there shall be no taxation
upon articles imported into this country
which come into competition with similar
articles produced in this country" That
is what the platform does declare, and
Mr. Hurd sticks by it. Further Mr..
Hurd says that if protection is fraud in
cidental protection must be also. The
platform, he says, is "a step forward in
the march to ultimate free trade" and
those of the Democratic party who do not
wish to look forward to that goal "ought
to get out of it.
Mr.. Hurd has the logic of the case But
what is to be done when the candidate
and his only rival for the nomination will
not stand on the platform? Party charac-
ter being determined by loyalty to party
principles as stated in the platform, are,
we not confronted with the horrible fact
that neither Cleveland nor Hill is Demo-
crat?

brations to monopolize national enthusiasm
The party which bases such arguments as it
presents upon the calamities of the country
is deprived Of material by the highly pros
porous conditions. Mrs. Harrison's sad ILL.,
ness, too. has its effect. And all this over
and above tho labor troubles. Even the New
Orleans prize fights and like matters of
minor import had their effect in detracting
from public interest in the election.

AN error respecting Columbus, which is
getting to be almost historical with some
minds, is well illustrated in some verses on
Columbus, by Florence Earle Coates, In the
current number OF Harper's Weekly. The
lines run:
Who. seeking land not known to any chart
That land by faith deep craven on his heart.''
Now the historical truth is that Columbus
was engaged on q voyage Of discovery in
search OF a western route to Asia, and not in
search of an unknown world.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2L-[S ecfu!. IA train of

inscription on the cover or the first wagon
read: "In God We Trust: to Kansas or

drawn by two sorry-iooi>ing mules driven
by n man who has seen the snow of Cd win

A FEW women have registered in Illinois
to vote at the approaching elections. Under
now law they have the right to cast ballots
for trustees of the State University.
PERHAPS the closest Congressional dis
trict in Pennsylvania now represented by a
Republican is the Twelfth, composed of
Luzerne county. 1t cast nearly $1,000 votes
in 1855 and gave Harrison q majority of 325
over Cleveland. A year later it gave a DEM
ocratic majority OF AZ on State Treasurer;
in 1890 Pattison for Governor had 2,4Os over
Delamater, and last year on Auditor Gen.
ernl the Democratic majority was 1,72i.
These figures show the county to be fairly
Democratic in all but Presidential years.
Tho two elections for Congressman held
there since the apportionment of 1857 made
Luzorne q separate district have resulted in
Republican success. In 1888, when the
Republican majority for Prcsident
was $780, General Osborne was
elected to Congress by 1.490 over John
Lynch, one OF the strongest Democrat. in
the county, and since elected to the bench
there. In $780, in tho face OF Democratic
majority Oh Governor of 2 ilS Geor3e W.
Shonk, Republican, was elec. Ell to Congress
