From the Cincinnati Commercial -Gazette.l
Good public roads offer an induce
ment for the building of railroads,
inasmuch as they provide means for
transferring the products of the farm
for shipment.
Then, too, persons seeking homes
choose them where there is easy
access to churches and schools
Distance is not always considered so
much as the condition of the public
roads.
In many country districts the
roads become almost impossible dur
ing certain portions OF the year, and
the inhabitants are obliged to remain
at home, seeing or hearing little or
nothing of the important events of
the outside world. Business must
stop and traffic cease until the con-
dition of the weather be such as to
permit the roads to dry sufficiently
to allow a horse to pass over them
without sinking to his knees in mud.
This should never be in such coun.
try as ours, especially in the more
thickly populated portions.
Probably the only practicable way
to obtain good roads is by special
road tax, to be imposed upon each
taxpayer, and its payment or an
equivalent amount of labor required
Such a mode would not increase the
taxes sufficiently to cause discomfort.
In many States this system is in use
and would be sufficient to insure
good public roads if it was fully car
ried out. Necessary laws must be
enacted and enforced to make any
system efficient.
| Good roads cannot be obtained
without the expenditure of mucl
time and trouble, but let the subject
receive the beartiest consideration ot
every one and it will not be man,
years until every State has them.
| Nothing would do more for the
advancement and development of tn
country. Then would travel be
pleasure, business would fourisl
and great would be the result il
many ways.

New Business for the Po.tmaster.

The people who want something for
nothing are very closely related to the
people who are always trying to send
strangers on strange errands for them.
There is . woman living in Chicago,
says the Buffalo Express, who has o
husband engaged In some sort of busi-
ness in Buffalo, and, of course, the poor
wife wants to know how he is behaving
himself. She probably has no friends
here, or, If she had, it wouldn't be safe
to ask them. So what does she do but
write, in a neat and ladylike hand, q
letter to the postmaster, and ask If he
won't take a stroll down to where the
other half is supposed to be, and see
how and where he spends his evenings.
Not receiving reply very promptly,
she writes again. From allindications,
however, she is not likely to get salts
faction from that source.

vention at Minneapolis in its wisdom sees
fit to offer it TO him have private assur-

Harrison, stepped aside and has honestly
kept aside, for the president wanted 20 see
II the Republican party would not flock 10
him II no one else was in the way.
"Well, the party hasn't hocked TO Mr..
Harrison. A newspaper man has kept a
very close watch on the delegates already
chosen, and he assures me that less than %
per cent. Of them are for Harrison. That
being the case, the only logical nominee is
Mr. Blaine, and assure you that, while be
is doing nothing 10 influence the decision,
there is not the slightest question about his
accepting.

and never uses his carriage"
