For Better Roads.

Tie New Jersey Road Convention held
two sessions in Trenton on Thursday of
last week, one in the afternoon and the
other in the evening, with Edward Bur-
roughs, of Camden, in the chair. The
most important action among the days
proceedings was the adoption of a resolu-
ton calling on the Legislature to consider
it their first duty to improve the present
unsatisfactory condition of the public roads,
and the appointment of a committee OF
eight members, one from each COMPRESSION
al district, TO urge the matter.
DR.. James G. Mackenzie, of Lawrence
vile School, read a paper on the value of
good roads and cited as one of the disad-
yantages of poor roads that 90. 900 voters
in New York State fail to reach the polls
on account of them when the weather is
bad. Chauncey B. Ripley, Ii, d. of West
field, made some valuable suggestions
arising from observation and experience in
road buildi3g. New Jersey, he said, holds
the first place IN the cause Of better roads.
In 1888 the necessary legislative act was
passed and Union County at once took adj
vantage of it. As a result of tie eounty's
improved roads, ne said. land there is now
selling at from 10 to - per cent. more
than in the previous " decades. The
roads there nave thus paid for themselves
already.
The Legislature and Executive, be said,
we're in sympathy with the movement to
improve the State roads, and all that is now
needed, was a plan and organization. He
urged legislation to regulate width of tire
and length Of axle on all heavy vehicles,
whfch power, he thought, might be conferred
on County Board of Freeholders.
Professor Lewis NJ. Haupt. of the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, said that, while it
cost fifteen cents to haul a ton of freight a
mile by public road. it cost only five mills
by railroad. three mills by canal, two mills
by river or lake, and three quarters of a
mill on the oceau-
"The roads OF this State are a disgrace
and a dishonor TO an American common
wealth, said General Rushing, of Trenton.
THE cities are willing to pay two-thirds
of the cost of improving them, If the farm
ers will pay the other third. 1t is all hum
bug to ask the State to pay out of the sink
ing fund. Each county now has the power"
A resolution was adopted declaring it to
be the sense Of the convention that the
present condition of the roads is unsatisfac-
tory, and that it is the first duty of the
Legislature and people to TAX steps TO i'm
prove them.
At the evening session of the road con-
vention President Burroughs announced
the appointment of the following perma-
nant committee of eight, one for each Con.
gress district, to consider the question Of
road improvement; Thomas A. Dudley,
Camden, Chairman; Clayton Gonrow, Nor

to make a reduction in prices and

up to help him unload. We accord

are, in the main, sound. But they are be-
ing continually stretched beyond their leg
itinate bounds.
1t may be freely conceded that there are
occasions " hen decisions Off caucus are
honorably binding on men. No one will
fusing to cooperate with his associates in
support of their formulated policy. But
the obligation en- the one hand, and the
censure on the other, are not due to the
have pronounced in favor of a certain line
of action. A still greater number might
favor, and the dissenting member be abun-
dainty justified in his opposition. There
is no magic power in the support of num-
bers to make that obligatory, which in the
absence of such support, we should feel
bound to reject. There must be some better
reason than this for the authority of a
caucus, when We grant that it does exist.
OF necessity, there can be no fixed standard
but circumstances must control. The
binding power of a caucus over the acts OF
a reasonable man arises from the fact that
1t has been fairly conducted, that its con-
illusions are results fairly arrived at, of
a comparison of views by those taking
part, and thai the subject matter is such
that the caucus may properly undertake to
decide.
1t must be made clear to all that however
the caucus may effect the representative
and his ass ~ociates. his constituents will
deal directly with him, that between them
and him there can be no mediator to shield
him from the penalty of his shortcomings.
There must be a call for simple honesty
and straigbtforwardness in discharge of a
public trust. When this shall become the
attitude of the people, when public senti-
ment shall demand merely the same degree
of faithfulness in public affairs that is re-
quire1 in the business relations Of life Their

ADDRESS BY LINTON sATTERTHwAIT, ESQ.
AT II FARMERS INSTITUTE, WOODS.
TOWN, IAN. Z, 1892.

At THE FARMERS INSTITUTE,
TOWN, IAN. Z, 1892.
Another much needed change which
would render more easy the securing of
honest government in which the farmerhas
a special interest, would be to relieve
candidates themselves from the heavy
charge Of what are termed the legitimate
expenses of the campaign. This is a mat
ter Of the utmost importance. When a man
is asked as he should be asked TO become a
candidate, he should be told that the trou-
BILE aud expense of a proper campaign will be
born by those whose candidate he is. Pub
lie service should involve a personal sacri-
flee, ana he who, from good motives, ac.
cepts office canno afford to pay for the
privilege Of making that sacrifice. If there
is not life enough in an organization to
secure voluntary contributions from its
members foi necessary and legitimate ex
penses, without suhjectiDg the candidate to
a species Of blackmail, the most becoming
thing such an organization can do. is to
die as quietly as possible. We can never
secure good government until candidacy
for Office shall be made attractive to public
spirited citizens.
Another serious obstacle to the free ex-
preston Of the popular will, is the spoils
system. in its modern development into a
rigorous system for administering rewards
and panishments in political life. Dat OF
it has been evolved the modern boss, who
buys support with the peoples substance,
and it is responsible for The suppression
OF the old time leaders who won support
or lost it as they kept or lost their hold on
the popular mind and affections. II has
given rise to sIavish s~arvility among those
who aspire to position, and it keeps con-
stantanily active those whose interest it
is TO tbw art The popular will. It's corrupt
