TIE NEXT STEP IN ROAD REFORM

No one who has kept himself informed in
regard to the movement looking to radical
Improvement Of the roads Of this country can
doubt that already the reform has made
great progress. 1t is not too much to affirm
that of late there has been general awaken
ing to the necessity of building better roads.
Five years ago the subject received very little
attention in any quarter. Now there is not
section Of the United States in which it is not
being earnestly discussed. Last month, for
example, a road convention was held in Mis-
souri,. composed of several hundred delegates
appointed by the county courts similar con-
vention was held in Iowa, while at the Inter
state Grange Convention which met in Penn
sylvania the subject of road improvement re-
ceived careful consideration. Earlier in the
wear number Of other State road conventions
were held, and the United States Senate passed
a bill providing for National Highway Com
mission.
So far so good The first step which counts
has been TAX en-pubic sentiment has been thor
oughy aroused to the need of doing something
for our roads But what shall be done? And
who shall foot the bills? The exhibit which
is to be made at the Chicago Fair of roadmaking
and roadmaking machinery ought to go far
toward answering the first of these questions.
Everybody from every State will attend the
Fair and if the road exhibit meets the best
expectations it will instruct the whole country
in the science of roadmaking 1t is to be hoped,
as we have already remarked, that the exhibit
will not be scattered, SO that the visitor who
is in search of information will be compelled
to make the tour of number Of departments
before he can see the whole of it. In order
that such an obectlesson may be readily mas
tered by the mutitude-whose time at the Fair
will be limited while the things which they
will want TO see will be numberless-it ought
not to be divided-a piece here and piece
there. The Fair over. the next step would
seem to be National roadmaking conven-
ton, the aim being to SEQ if an improved
system cannot be devised which, so far. at
least, as its fundamental features are concerned,
shall be generally adopted. A writer in "The
Charleston News and Courier" suggests that
South Carolina should unite with the people
of other States to have the subject fully in
vestigated by competent commissioners, who
shall examine the methods of road construction
employed in Europe, and with the aid of com
petent assistants shall illustrate them by means
of a special and complete exhibit at the Chi
cago Exposition. and of printed reports to be
distributed free throughout the country" 1t is
pretty generally conceded that, although one
Of the great popular wants OF the country is

THE NATIONS BENEFACT0RS.

The Grand Army of the Republic has ended
its encampment, and the veterans OF many
battles as they return to their homes among
the sixty-fve millions of people to whom they
have given united Nation, are watched with
admiring gratitude in every car and street.
Americans are not a demonstrative people,
They do not often break out into wild hurrahs
when their deepest feelings are stirred. But
the chances of respect and honor, the eyes often
dmmed by grateful emotions, which greet the
heroes of thirty years ago wherever their Ia
milar uniforms and well-remembered badges
are seen, tell of stronger regard than the
passionate outbreaks could express with which
men of other races might greet their bene'
factors
TO these men, and the larger army of COM
rades who have found rest, the Americans OF
this day owe the most powerful, most pros
porous and most united Nation on earth. 10
them we owe the grandest pages OF the New
Worlds history. To them we owe deeds OF
devotion and heroism which live forever to
make the American character devoted and
heroic. To them we owe tho worlds knowl-
edge that American smartness and thrift
in business, and eagerness for material
success, nave uOb lllduO Jul POVPAS
of the grandess moral achievements 10 these
same veterans the Nation owes more than a
quarter of century of such growth and pros
perty as no other country has ever enjoyed so
that already tho youngest of the family Of great
nations Is the richest and most powerful. All
the blessings that now delight u.s. all the price
less blessings that we hope to transmit to the
generations coming after us, come to the
Americans Of to-day through the self-sacrfcing
patriotism and bravery of those who wear the
blue. When their deeds are no longer remem-
bered and honored by Americans, then indeed
this people will be unworthy Of its priceless
heritage
In the mellow moonlight. of distance 1t may
seem an easy and simple thing for these vet
Grams to have marched to the defence of their
Government But they left industries and
business and earnings behind them. Most OF
them left behind happy homes, and loving wives
and tender children for whom they would have
given their lives. and when they marched away
at the call of duty they knew that many who
went would never return. They faced death
on the battle field, and still more deadly dis
ease. With full and strong ranks they marched,
but when they returned the flags were torn and
the ranks thinned and distant graves held many
of their number. 1t was grand thing that
these men did and the grander for their lofty
motive-that sef-government should not perish
from the earth-and great have been the results
which those now realize who honor these vet
Grams for their fidelity.
Honor waits for them while any OF them live.
Nothing that thankful people can do will be
too much for those who rskcd all and gave
all Well may hearts beat more quickly and
proudly when Americans remember their ex-
ample and their deeds. Well may the people
rejoice that so many Of these heroes are yet
with us, to kindle by their very" presence the
noblest patriotism.

good roads, the majority are unable as yet TO
determine what it is necessary to do IN order
to solve the problem which confronts them.
However. the American people as whole have
been made to see that they cannot afford to
maintain bad roads. That momentous TACT
having been brought home to them, there is no
occasion to worry. They will learn how to
make good roads, and then will set to work in
good earnest and make them.
But the reform is going to cost an enormous
sum of money, and hence, naturally enough, it
encounters a good deal of opposition on the part
of conservative people. Shall Uncle Sam give
us better roads? Shall the State? How shall
the funds be raised so that the taxpayers shall
not protest? Up to date this is the most diff
cult problem which the subject has developed.

that the world is wasteful of the great agencies
whose powers it is partially learning, and many
of the most hopeful discoveries OF science lead
into nothing more than cul de sac, where they
lie in arrested development. Every animate
creature,n declares Professor Thurston, us
machine of enormously higher efficiency than
the engines of the Teutonio or the most power
full locomotive. Every gymnotus living In the
mud of tropical stream puts to shame man
best efforts in tho production OF electricity {;
and the minute insect that flashes across his
lawn on a summer evening, or the worm that
lights his path in the garden, exhibits system
of illumination incomparably superior to his
most perfect electric lights" No one who
looks out on the world to-day will deny that
there is a substratum of truth in this statement.
The present age displays poverty OF thought
in some directions that is as striking as Its IN
tense activity and spirit of scientific research
about which we are won't so loudly to boast
Like the barbarians of DID, who were content
to sit in insensate enjoyment of the wealth
and luxury they acquired, we wander about
in the great intellectual and material junkshop
we have filed with the spoils of Nature hardly
knowing what it all means, and only dimly
understanding its relation to our spiritual and
moral progress.
But such a state of affairs cannot always
continue It is a scientific as well as religious
axiom that the life is more than meat, and the
body than raiment, and this practical age will
soon realize the folly of initiating the house
wife who fills her house with costly stuffs
and never gives herself time to enjoy their
use We may never look forward to q cessa-
ton of that struggle to wrest from the uni
verse its secrets which so characterzes mod
ern civilization for the thirst for knowledge
once developed is never satisfied. But we may
expect to see wiser division OF labor than
now exists Besides the pioneers who will
spend their lives in widening the area of human
knowledge there will arise great army OF
men whose supreme task it will be to make
the most perfect possible application OF every
material fact in promoting the progress and
happiness of men.

Something would appear to be rotten in the
administration of the Monroe County Jail. 1t
is hardly probable, if proper precautions were
taken in that institution, that it would be pos
sible for seven prisoners to make their escape
in the same night with none to hinder them
The success of their plan for breaking out in
volved no little preparation, and if system
was in operation in the Jail which was at all
suggestive of vigilance, how did it happen that
none of the officials suspected that there was
anything wrong until the seven jailbirds had
flown? The fact that the delivery was not
more general would seem to have been due
simply to a lack of enterprise on the part OF
the other prisoners. The escape ought to be
thoroughly investgated-in case Monroe County
believes that prisoners should not be allowed
to 20 free on their own motion.

Among the popular events Of the week that
begins to-day will be the Westchester County
Fair, which opens at White Plains on Tues
day. The programme comprises large num-
Der of interesting features and the array Of
cups and money prizes offered to successful ex
hibitors is unusually extensive. The fair will
last throughout the week until Saturday and
il the preliminary function in connection there
with, in the shape of the county ball which
took place at Yonkers on Friday night affords
any criterion, it promises to be great success
Although cholera still retains its hold upon
Hamburg to such an extent that a temporary
railroad is about to be constructed from the
city to the cemetery, yet the epidemic ap-
pears, from our cable dispatches published
to-day, to be Pickering out elsewhere on the
Continent, while Great Britain remains abso-
lutey free from the malady. There were no
new cases of cholera in this city yesterday, and
the steamship Polaria, from Stettin, with i'm
migrants on board, whose arrival had been
awaited with apprehension, came into port
during the course of the morning with a re-
port of all well on board. Nor have there been
any fresh cases of the malady in Lower Quar-
antine and the situation at Camp Low is so
encouraging that the Normannia's steerage
passengers were removed from Sandy Hook and
permitted to enter this city yesterday.
A perfect epidemic of evictions appears from
the London cable dispatch. which we publish
to-day, to have broken out in Ireland. 1t has
followed closely upon Secretary Morley's aban-
donment of the powers conferred upon the Gov
eminent by the Coercion act. which has now
practically become dead letter. The object
of the evicting landlords, who all belong to
the Tory or Unionist party, is undoubtedly to
create trouble for the present Administration,
and to gOad the unfortunate tenantry into dis
turbing the public peace This will not be
difficult. For the harvcsts have been bad, the
agricultural prices of every kind are exception
ally low, and the winter threatens to prove the
worst that Ireland has experienced since 1886.

junctirehs therefore particularly heartless, and
