Bad Roads and Hoodlums.

Did you ever think how they go to-
gether? Wherever deeds of murder and
violence are done, wherever robber
gangs congregate and highwaymen,
White Caps, Ku Klux and miserable
tarrers and featherers terrorize neigh
borhood, wherever lynch law rules and
election returns are doctored in back
counties, ninety-nine times ont of hun
bred it is place where the roads are as
wretched as the morality that prompts
such acts. Bad roads and bad people
run together. The hoodlum, the tramp,
the train robber and murderer stink away
from the broad, smooth highway open
to all the world and travelled by well
dressed people.
For the sake of good morals let us have
good roads in America. 1t is to be hoped
that congressman from the districts
where murders and robberies are most
rampant will urge ON congress with all
eloquence this winter the necessity of
making an appropriation for the mag
nifcent roadmaking exhibit which will
be SO grand an object lesson to Amer
leans from all parts of the country at
the Worlds fair. What the roadmak-
ing exhibit will show is summed up by
a writer in The Century as follows:
What the advocates Of good roads propose is
q comprehensive exhibit Of all that Is known
Of scientific road building which will serve as
a school Of instruction to the thousands Of
Americans who win visit the fair. They will
give sample sections Of the best road construc-
ton In this country and in Europe. They will
have skilled workmen actually engaged in con-
structing sections of the various kinds of
roads, the most expensive and the cheapest as
well, and will have competent engineers and
chemists In attendance to explain the process
of building the roads, constructing artificial
stone and preparing cements. All machinery
used in the work and the various kinds Of
material will be seen in daily practical opera
tisn. In short, the visitor who wishes TO see
not only what a scientific road is, but the ex-
act way in which it is built, will have full op-
portunity of doing so.

Apropos of round shoulders, decided
the other day as 1 sat in a great public
gathering, drawn from all parts of the
land, that what we need most is not more
currency, or less taxes, or new banking
system, but a law to enforce sitting mp
straight. Take 100 Americans-mena and
women, and you could not find enough
good shoulders among them to make up
table at whist This defect of car
rage used to be thought peculiar to the
rural districts. 1t is not so. City peo-
pie show it less, but this is due to the
cunning of their tailors, and not to any
virtue of their own.
/ am opposed to meddlesome legisla-
ton, but should welcome the appoint
ment Of officials who would go about
and compel the populace to sit and stand
erect, as the old worthless Of the Puritan
meeting house compelled the congrega-
ton to keep awake. If such statute
were enacted, in two generations we
would not know ourselves-or rather
our descendants-so great would be the
improvement in health, physique and
dignity. Kate Fields Washington.

In one of the large confectionery
stores on Chestnut street the girls who
have been there long time know most
of the engaged couples in town, and can
tell how long the sweet ENHANCEMENT
has been pending. They also are pretty
well posted as to what engagements are
broken. The reason is that one of the
things the engaged young man is sup
posed to do is to keep his fiancee sup
piled with candy. Usually when a
young man lets up on his supply of
candy it is a sign either of misunder-
standing or that the wedding day is near
at hand, for, strange to say, with the
approach of the nuptial date the bride
groom elect generally gets economical
in sweetmeats, possibly because he is
saving up for the bridal bouquet

It's sometimes said patent medicines
are for the ignorant. The doctors fos-
ter this idea. "The people," we're told,
''are mostly ignorant when it comes to
medical science" Suppose they are!
What a sick man needs is not knowl-
edge, but a cure, and the medicine that
caTeS is the medicine for the sick. DR..

cures the "do believes" and the "don't

it, no "if'' nor possibly" 1t says: az
can cure you, only do as direct" Per-
haps it fails occasionally. The makers
hear of it when it does, because they
never keep the money when the medi-
cine fails to do good. Suppose the doc
tors went on that principle. 1--WE beg
the doctors pardon. 1t wouldn't doD

Brave France.

The people that can read a lesson to
the rest of the world in economic man
agement are the French, The debt in
Cured by the Franco-Prussian war was
all taken by citizens of the republic Of
France. As soon as the industries were
restored these shrewd French began to
save money and invest it. They have
been able to carry their own debt and
maintain their republic in the teeth of
foes abroad and plotters at home. They
have saved besides from their collected
earnings enough money to sink millions
of francs in the copper syndicate and
hundred millions in that outrageous
swindle, the Panama canal scheme. NJ.
Delahaye charges that $500, 900 Of this
money went to buy up the influence of
newspapers and senators and deputies
of France.
But in spite of the corruption and dis
honesty of their politicians the brave
French people are true hearted, honest
patriots, and we must respect them and
sympathize with them while we con-
denim in the strongest terms the villains
who have swindled them. Even these
enormous losses have failed to swamp
French economical management, how
ever. The people have saved in addition
enough money for the Bank of Paris to be
able to lend Spain SIS 200, 900. 1t is to be
hoped the Spanish government will not
fall into bankruptcy, so that these model
economists will lose on this investment
too
But this is clear, people who can
save money like that cannot be kept
down, no matter what happens. They
ought to acquaint themselves better with
countries outside of their own land and
then they would be as successful in in
vesting as they are in saving money.

The sudden and alarming mortality
of negro babies in certain district of
Philadelphia drew the suspicious of the
coroner in that direction. He found
that the babies lives were all insured
for sums ranging from five to sixty dol
lars, and that in one family six Of them
had died in a short time. The city paid
the burial expenses, and the parents
were the gamers five dollars by the trans
action. The paregoric which is sup
posed to have fastened the black in
fants' advent to paradise was paid for
out of the public charity fund. 1t has
been left for the colored citizen to find
the cheapest method of baby farming.

In spite of the cholera this fall both
the imports and exports of the United
States increased greatly over last year.
For the twelve months ending Oct. 81
our exports were $9s9, s44, 1886. For the
year ending Oct. 81, 1891, they amounted
to $927, 910,612. Next year, if all goes
well, the United States will ship to for
eign countries over a billion dollars
worth of American products. Step by
step each year the business of this great
country grows. For the twelve months
ending Oct. 81, 1891, our imports footed
up 1919, 002, 1922. For the like period this
year they are $500, sO5, 95e.

A Big Blunder.

Some years ago Willie Blair, the queens
fiddler" was playing at ball which the
Prince of Wales had given to the domes-
tics connected with Abergeldie castle. The
dancers had been rather eXacting in their
demands upon the musician, and Willie
was in no very amiable mood when the
prince himself entered the room unob-
served by the fiddler, and stepping up be-
hind him said, play up the Lock of For
far Willie" The old man, without look
ing round, and thinking it was one of the
servants, growled in response, AYE, an
wish you were a. drooned in itp' The
prince laughed as heartily as anybody at
the mistake-a good deal more so than the
fiddler.-Scottish American.

BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM

Real estate dealers and Others inter-
ested in the growth of Fairhaven have
their offices filed with pamphlets and
other advertising matter which they
are sending freely to every part of the
United States in the hope Of encour-
Ing immigration and inducing capital
to make investments in this favorable
locality. That the plan is good one
goes without the saying, and yet as an
advertising medium there is no other
means which carries so great an intiu-
ence as an energetic and responsible
newspaper. 1t is the truest represen-
tative of the city's advantages which
could possibly be sent forth. Its col
umns give an impartial and continuous
representation, not only of the resources
Of the city and tributary country, but
of every phase of the city's life-its
social habits, school facilities, religious
character, and, in a word, everything
which constitutes the city, so that an
outsider, reading its columns consecu-
lively, will have almost as accurate
information and thorough knowledge
of its advantages as those residing in
the city itself. In the accomplishment
of the desired result, therefore, the real
estate dealers and everyone else inter-
ested in advertising Fairhaven could
pursue no better plan than to send
copies of the HERALD or WEEKLY
WORLD to their friends or in answer to
letters asking for information concern
ing this matchless locality. 1t is not
intended to suggest that an occasional
sample copy of the paper be sent, which
would be read and its contents forgot
ten after time, but that it be sent
consecutively and constantly to each
one whose name is secured, so that
fresh news and information, with all
the local happenings, may be known,
thereby creating continuous interest
In the city and its residents.
The subscription Of the WEEKLY
WORLD, which is the weekly edition Of
the HERALD, is only 81 a year. 1t con-
tains all the news of the Bay cities, be-
sides full reports of the sessions of the
county commissioners and letters from
the different towns throughout the
county. Its columns publish some
thing fresh and new each week con
corning the resources Of the county anG
advantages Of residence in Fairhaven
Ten copies, or more, subscribed for an6
sent weekly to as many readers in th'
East, in all probability would have I
more satisfactory result than double thu
amount Of money expended for pam
phlets or other advertising matter. II
the letter recently published from
Switzerland, in which inquiry was
made concerning the resources of Bell
ingham Bay, the writer spoke of hav
ing read, not in pamphlets but in tn,
newspapers of the coal deposits near tn
Bay. The suggestion is valuable on
and should be acted upon by those in
terested in advertising the city and Il
inducing others to come and enjoy II
splendid advantages and manifold con
veniences.

railway car is here in some of the IN
ventions recently made. A railway is to
be built in Austro-Hungary, from Vienna
to Buda-Pesth, over which an electric car
is expected to travel 1913 miles an hour.
1t will follow the banks of the Danube.
Each car will have its own separate
motor and will carry forty passengers.
This electric motor is the invention Of
