Why Good Roads are Hard to Get.

Among the very foremost agitatOrs for
the building of better country roads is ex-
Gov. James A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania,
who made this the subject of an executive
message during his term of Office. Governor
Beaver has written for the August number
of The Forum an explanation why most
communities find it so difficult to get good
roads. The school tax, he says, we have
become accustomed to; so we have become
accustomed to be taxed for charitable insti-
tutions and for the relief of the poor; but
in most states the habit of generations, so
far as concerns the improvement of roads,
has been the ineffective system of working
the roads," so that most men have not only
had it firmly fixed in their minds that roads
are not proper subjects for direct taxation,
but that the highways might be made by a
small contribution of personal labor. 1t is
this long and deep rooted habit and unwil-
lingness to pay a direct sufficient road tax
that is the primary cause of our national
disgrace i'm having so few good highways;
and the lemedy lies III such an agitation as
is happily now going on in most states for a
keener public appreciation of the direct
commercial benefits Of well-built roads.

colic and Cholera Norbus.

Collie. cholera morbus, cramps and many
other affections of the stomach and bowels
prevalent at this time of the year are due to
two causes. First, the depressing effect of
the hot weather upon the nervous system,
and second, the use of green fruit, cucum-
bers. melons, etc. No one is safe from pain
full and even dangerous attacks of these af-
fections unless unusual precautions are TAX
EN- at this time of year. A tablespoonful of
Pe-ru-na taken before each meal is a COM
plete protection against these maladies.
Pe-fu-na is not only preventive of collie,
cholera morbus, cramps, stomach, summer
diarrhGa and cholera, but is also prompt
cure for these diseases. Where the attack
Is very severe and painful a wineglassful of
Pe-ru-na should be taken at once, followed
by two tablespoons doses until complete re-
lief is obtained. This never fails i'm a
single case. In cases of less severity table
spoonful every hour is sufficient, No one
should neglect the precaution of taking a
dose of Pe-ru-na before each meal, until the
hot season is over.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Ihe Supreme Court so Pronounces the

The Law of 1885 Also Given Black Eye.

The Law of 1885 Also Given Black Eve.
The supreme court handed down an
opinion Thursday morning on the sena-
torlal and representative gerrymander cas- es.
The court grants mandamus against the
secretary of state restraining him from
Issuing notices of election in the senatorial
and legislative districts under the law
passed by the law of 1891. This law (the
gerrymander acD is declared void.
They also declared the law of 1855
void; and order the secretary of state to
issue his notice of election under the law of
1881.
Justice Grant writes the opinion in the
senatorial case and Chief Justice Morse
and Justice McGrath write a coHcurring
opinion. Justice Long writes the opinion
in the representative case and Chief Justice
Morse writes a concurring opinion. The
title of the senatorial case is Theron f.
Giddings VS.. Secretary of State, and in the
representative case the Board of Supervisors
of Houghton county VS.. same.
The court was unanimous in its decision
although disagreeing somewhat on minor
points.
The effect of this decision, if no special
session of the legislature is called to make a
new apportionment, will be to give Shiawas-
see county two representatives and place us
with Livingston county in the Goth sena-
tOrial district.

Grumblin

Mr.. EDIToR:-Last night at social l
consumed so much ice cream to help the
church(?) that | find myself this morning
afflicted with indigestion, headache and a
firm belief that the world is all out of joint
and so | must find fault with somebody or
something.
Early last spring the council proceed
ings" informed us that an old ordinance
requiring shade trees to be properly trimmed
had been resurrected, and would be rigidly
enforced. In fact the whole ponderous
moral weight of the city government-be-
yOnd computation-would be placed behind
this ordinance and it would go. Well, the
leaves came and the twilight upon our
streets thickened to Egyptian darkness.
Not limb, not twig, not leaf was dis
turbed. The gloom thickened and so did
the righteous indignation of your cores
pondent. We are paying large money for
lghting(?) this city. but owing to this mex
plicable delay one-half the city is receiving
little or no benefit from the large outlay of
money, and the splendid lights scattered all
over the town are practically only so many
glow worms. Street after street is shrouded
in darkness, rendering it quite impossible
to avoid the dangerous holes in the walks,
which, by daylight, may be seen every
where by any person, except the city officials.
This D. m. as | came down, l noticed
sprinkling going on all along. l referred
to the .'rules and regulations" established by
the water board and endorsed by the cOun-
Gil, and found, "The use of the hand hose
is permitted only from six to nine o'clock a.
m. and from five to nine o'clock p. m" But
l don't see as there is any occasion to obey
this ordinance. 1t is an Odious usurpatiOn,
vile sumptuary law, and l am glad it is
on record just for the pleasure of breaking
it. The time is passed when the freedom
of American citizens or foreign either is to
be hampered by host of impertinent laws.
BY what right does the law say we shall
not keep our stores open Sunday for general
traffic or our railroads from the popular Sun
day excursion? l cannot tell you what
pleasure it gave me when our democratic
house of representatives threw out the re-
publican senate bill giving the Worlds Fair
SIS, 900, 900 because it required the great fair
to be closed on Sunday, and prohibited the
sale of whisky on the ground. These
fanatics must be taught once for all that we
shall permit no such meddlesome interfer-
ence.

An artificial eye is not made in the
form of globe, as many people mag

thin and light. Even this, however,
causes irritation if kept in the socket
constantly, and a case lately came I'M

young man who had worn glass eye
continuously, night and day, for several
wears, with the result that an infiamma-

probably prevent his ever wearing one
