Give Us Good Roads.

Z. p. Powell, in The New England
Magazine, has added his plea to the cry
of those who are demanding good roads
in all parts of our country. He says
that American farmers have at present
two great tasks before them-one to
get rid of Asiatic in ,aders in the shape
of weeds and insects, the other to get
good roads. He is inclined to agree with
the general verdict of foreigners that
our railroad management is the best in
the world, while our earth roads are the
worst, Our shame is that we are driv-
ing our horses in the Eighteenth cen
tury, while our steam engines run in
the Nineteenth"
The present system of road manage
ment and of road working or running
was never intended by the fathers to be
anything more than makeshift, he
says. Farmers are losing heavily
through their stubborn and mistaken
stinginess in adhering to the wretched
old system of road maintenance that
was in vogue when men carried their
grists to mill in a bag on horseback. In
actual dollars and cents improved roads
will add greatly to their productive
capital Their annual actual loss under
the present system amounts TO far more
than the taxes for good roads would be.
Upon a clay road a load for two horses
is l,4OO pounds; upon macadamized
road it is 2,lSO pounds.
The first step toward good road Of
any kind is drainage, for that produces
"a solid bottom. TO secure this the best
engineers dig three bitches four feet
deep along the highway-one under each
side and another under the center
These are connected by cross sections,
all are stoned or tiled, and the water is
carried into sewers or streams. Even
the common dirt road, that bugbear and
eyesore, may be vastly improved by this
simple ditching. Farmers themselves
know how to construct the bitches.
Without these bitches underneath
highway the more gravel there is put
into a mudhole the deeper the mud
will be. The next step in common road
improvement is to make the gravel COW
cred driveway wide enough for at least
two teams abreast, so there will be less
wearing into ruts.
The best road of all, however, and the
one which should be the ultimate aim
everywhere, is either the telford or the
macadam stone road. The macadam
we'll laid will meet our needs.

Republican County Ticket,
STEWART AND THE PEOPLE.


The announcement Of the endorse
ment of Hon. w. q. Stewart, .Republi-
can nominee for delegate to congress,
by the Peoples party of Graham. county
is not at all surprising. If the Peoples
party endorsed any one at all-that is
if they chose between NJ. A. Smith and
w. G. Stewart, they must OF neces-
sity have endorsed a man who was
proiessedly, openly and above board,
in favor of free silver and opposed
to avaricious corporations, as against
man who voted brazenly against the
voice Of two thirds of his constituency
for "gold bug" clase in the funding
bonds OF the territory, and who has not
maintained a position against any OF
the corporations which are sapping the
life blood from Arizona.
Suppose the Peoples party had done
otherwise. Suppose they had en-
dorsed NJ. A. Smith for Congress. How
would they as an organization repre-
senting people who had grown rebel
lious under unjust taxation and OPP
pressive discrimination, justified their
action with the character OF the man
and avowed principles OF his platform.
A professed silver man Mark Smith be-
trayed the white metal at his first OPP
portunity and by his position gave the
lie that Arizona was II free coinage ter
ritory.
On the stump and before the people
rabid anti-land grant man, at Washing
ton he is - well, go down into Pima
county and ask the people there, who
live on those obnoxious and Legitimate
grants what Mark Smiths record is on
land grants. What position has Mark
Smith and his platform taken against
unjust railroad discrimination? What
position has Mark Smith and his plat
form taken in relation to convict labor
al the Yuma penitentiary? What is
Mr.. Smiths position on the water
question? On all these important
questions w. G.. Stewart is with the
mass OF the people of the territory. He
is not with the politicians, we admit.
He has not crlnged to some of the
powers that desire to be in the ascen-
dancy, (but are IN their decendency.)
He dosen't even ride on railroad pass
and Mark Smith does-but he is with
the element Of this territory which is
for the prosperity of the territory re-
gardless Of partisan utilization in the
past.
The endorsement of Mr.. Stewart is
conclusive evidence that the Peoples
party in Graham county Is not domi,
mated by sore heads and political trick
sters. 1t proves that the people are
really in earnest for reform, aud they
propose TO seek it through the most
practical channels at hand.
II the Peoples party had a congress
sional candidate Of their own they
could not be expected TO have endorsed
either Of the old party candidates. In
view OF that there was nothing left but
to approve OF the man who nearest rep.
resented their ideas.
1t is an old business and political
maxim, 'lf you can't get the whole
hog, take what is in sight aud go bacl
for the rest" 1t Is a good maxim, too

Whatever merits or dement's the cotton
wool, wood wool or moss have for pack
ing peaches or nectarines, neither is equal
to fine and soft paper shavings, accord
ing to an English authority, who writes
as follows: Last season packed and
sent off some scores Of dozen just when
the fruits were on the point of becom-
ing fully ripe, and what with twelve
miles jolting over country road and
upward of $50 miles by rail, they all
reached their destination in perfect con-
dition Not being elastic, the paper
shavings lie close together, and there is
no fear of their becoming overheated or
rather heated at all. Moreover, the
fruits are quickly unpacked and also
turn out in perfectly clean condition"

Political Progress,

Twenty years ago the "spOils system" was in
full force. Every Office under the government
was virtually used for purposes OF bribery. Ii
was bestowed in the first place as a reward for
fidelity TO party, and the salary attached to II
was afterward assessed for contribution TO the
party funds. The sense of decency OF the peo-
pie has risen up in revolt against this abomi-
nation. No party manager can now fry the
meager fat" out Of the smaller office
holders for political purposes. The result has
been considerable increase in the efficiency
OF the public departments. The public inter
est Is now kept in view where formerly there
was little thought Of anything save how to
make an office temporarily held Of as much
advantage as possible to the holder.
Therefore the sun do move" politi-
cally is the conclusion of the editor of
The Popular Science Monthly. He
thinks, however, that it ought to move
still more. The next step on the road of
political progress will lie the getting rid
of the idea that a government is a sort
of earthly providence--to do everything
for everybody. We have too much of the
paternal government idea hanging about
us still, the editor thinks We shall
never know how great people we are
till we take our industrial and CONNER
cial activities into our own hands and
instruct our legislators in particular that
it is no part of their duty to make ms
wealthy and prosperous,
As to the government itself, higher
standard of public duty and a nobler
tone Of public life would be at once cs-
tablished if the governing power We're
to be made free from all dependence on
and entangling alliance with private in
terests."

lively to be trusted will do more for

erybody, to become person who can be
positively trusted.
