be able to meet growing demands.

not encroach to any great extent
upon the floor space; and a desk

A Jamup Jubilee.

The Democratic jubilee on Mon
day evening of this week was a
corker. If you don't believe it look
up the corks. Nearly every Demo
crat within a radious of twenty
miles participated, and those who
didn't, need not apply for Office
But for the cold and snow the
procession would in all probability
have been twice as large. As it
was there were about hundred on
foot and fifty horseback, all with
their hats decorated with a sitting
hen wearing a ROSTERS tail. Dur
ing the parade the cannon doomed
and Roman candles and sky rockets
in the hands OF the marchers,
Illuminated the city. At the city
hall speeches were made by Hon.
Moses M. Strong and John f.
Grace, but that was not what most
ratifers wanted. They were cold
from exposure to the frosty air and
dry from hurrahing, and, maybe, all
would have "p2ssed in their checks"
ere this from the effects, had they
not resorted to licorice and lard, or
something. A good time was had,
they all admit. According to their
own e. ements some Of the very
old adherents to the Democratic
party are now ready TO die, having
finally realized what they have long
prayed for, and all they await is for
the "agent of Heaven" to hand
around free passes. The younger
element feel that the earth is theirs,
and why shouldn't they.
The decoration of business houses
was good, and the electric light
arch in front Of city hall particularly
attractive.

The Great Road Problem.

/ given attention by the people, il
becomes more and more apparent
that the matter of good roads will
figure at least in county politics all
over the country. The good roads
issue has the merit that it appeals
to all alike. 1t is beginning to be
recognized that, in one material
feature, this country is very much
behind those We are accustomed to
look upon lightly because of the
supposed lack of energy and enter.
prise in their people But those
same stolid people travel over good
country roads while we gasp through
dust or wade through mud. 1t is
true that their roads are the product
of centuries, while ours are of new
creation, but it has been the boast
of Americans that they accomplish
at once all that European countries
have done in generations.
1t is no simple problem, this max
ing of good country roads, though
It's solution is an immediate neces-
sity upon which depends in a degree
the comfort of existence.
The road today is generally but
a strip of plowed land, the Ioosened

ward the center, having an elevation
with shallow draining cutters at
the sides. 1t is a good road only at
certain favorable summer and
autumn seasons when the soil il
packed hard-and then only when
the soil chances to be of the right
kind--or when it is frozen solid in
the winter and has been worn to a
degree Of smoothness. At other
times it is thing of mud or dust
or ruts; it's condition a nuisance
and expense to all who use it, Speed
can not be attained upon it nor can
heavy loads be pulled. 1t is a
drawback upon the welfare of the
community and, bad as it is, must
be remade at frequent intervals. 1t
has neither foundation nor perma
nent surface. 1t is but makeshift,
a relic of pioneer days. And the
same condition of highways exits
over more than nine-tenths of the
area of the United States, varied
only by natural incidents of soil or
climate.
There can be but one method, 4,
80 far as is known to-day, of max.
ing good country roads. There
must be not strip Of dirt scratched
up and heaped toward a continuous
center, but a strip of dirt taken
away altogether, as a beginning.
They have machines and great
engines which do that easily and
cheaply nowadays. There must be
a foundation laid in this trench, and
all along it must lie the firm core,
as it may be called, upon which
travel will be accomplished. In most
states stone is found by a little
digging almost anywhere, and the
solid, century-lasting road may be
built at comparatively slight cost,
but in some states the work will be
more expensive. 1t is not work to
be done in a day, though, or a year;
it may require a full half century
to accomplish it all, though Ameri-
cans are not accustomed to require
half a century for doing anything.
But it is great work which must
be compassed before the country
can be termed fairly conquered and
decently occupied.

month ago, would not own to the
name of Democrat now siding in
with the old stagers of the un-

went the rounds a few years after
the war closed, when the Jobnnies
were returning to the Union fold by
taking the oath of allegiance. One
day an old fellow who had served
in the Confederate army approa ched
the Federal officer authorized to ad-
minister the oath and said he
wanted to be taken back, aud he
was sworn back to Uncle Sam in
the usual form. Looking at the
officer, he said: "That makes me a
good loyal citizen again, don't
it?" "Yes, sir" said the officer.

THE impression derived from a
careful perusal of Democratic
journals is that the party is opposed,
on high moral grounds, to the
placing in office Of men Of great
fortune. These journals have
auimadverted with much feeling
upon the wiokedness Of the Re
publlcans in electing rich Philetus
Sawyer to the United States senate
from Wisconsin. But that gentle.
mans time is about to expire, and
two very rich men, j, IL. Knight
and John l.. Mitchell, and one
poor one, General h. S. Bragg, are
anxious for the place. The high
moral plane occupied by the party
would naturally indicate the elec-
tlon of Bragg, the poor man, but
circumstances now point unmis-
takably to the choice Of one Of the
rich ones. Q Temporal! 0 mores!
