Country Roads.

The Maryland legislature seems to be
doing good work towards improving
the country roads of that State. In
one of the counties as much as $780, 900
of bonds at 4 per cent. interest, are au-
thorized to be expended, and in all of
the counties it is provided that there
shall be proper drainage, including a
condemnation feature for the opening
of drains for the employment by the
commissioners of competent engi-
neer, etc. The improvements are to be
constant and permanent, and when
completed in few years will doubtless
profit the State and people infinitely
more per annum than all of the outlay.
1t is curious fact that although the
last legislature of Virginia was COM
posed of a majority of farmers, and
those the most deeply interested in
country roads, no practical legislation
of any sort for the proper improvement
of them was either accomplished or, in
fact, attempted by our soions. Weeks
were spent in trying to improve our
railroad system, which is now one of
the best in the country, while the con-
dition of the country roads, which is
the worst in the world, was entirely
overlooked and neglected, although

A WESTERN MAN.

While New York is in the throes of
its midwinter convention today, mass
ing its Democratic strength for Gov.
HILL as an aspirant for the nomination
at Chicago, it is pertinent to refer to
the recent expression of the Democrats
of the Missouri legislature as an indi-
cation of the trend of the Western
Democracy. That state is the home of
BLAND, the irrepressible free-coinage
leader, and is perhaps as strongly in
clined to his ideas as any state usually
classed as Democratic. Yet of the 1O7
Democrats in the legislature 81 de-
clare themselves for Mr.. CLEVELAND
as first choice. and a large ma
jority are for him. as the second
choice. But one announced him.
self for HILL and but five for any
New York man except CLEVELAND.
There were thirty-one for BoIEs and
most of the Others for Senator PALMER.
The st. Louis Republic sums UP the eX-
preston as CLEVELAND or a Western
man. That paper regards it as fair
indication of the feeling OF the Demo
Gratis of the Mississippi valley, compris-
ing in that the chief exporting states of
the country. If its view is correct, it
means that, whatever may be thought of
the silver question, there is an over
shadowing purpose to make tariff re-
duction the dominant issue of the cam
paign. There is an indication also of
growing strength for the Iowa governor.
The greater the discord in New York.
the more likely is the convention to
look to the West for its man.

Why should Levi P. Morton be left

= Mr.. Morton'S success as the proprie-

Levi P. Morton is the latest presiden-
tial aspirant to enter his name in the
Republican race. The fact that Harri-
son is the biggest man in the field seems
to be giving all the political pigmies
ourase.-Chicago Times.
Levi P. Morton is not pressing for
ward with precipitancy to secure re-
nomination for vice president. His
judgment as to the value of the vice
presidency appears to be identical with
that of the Indian as to the gun-it
costs more than it comes to.-NeW York

NEW ENGLAND RUM.

There has been some impression that
the occasional reference to rum and
missionaries as being the chief and ST.
multaneous contributions of the United
States, perhaps New England more
specially, to the welfare of Africa, was
something of rhetorical persiflage. The
less enlightened fathers might have
thrown in the rum part, but it was
Renaissance of the past. The United
States consul at Sierra Leone, in re-
cent letter that is published. says that
he stood on the wharf Sunday and
saw hundreds of men unloading cargoes
of rum within fifty yards of church
established by missionaries. A Boston
paper says that the chief exports
of this kind come from within the
shadow of the state house in that city.
Many of the natives of Africa are petit
tloning the government to put a stop to
this importation. They allege that it is
running the country. The effect is prob
ably much the same as on the Indians
at home. The coast tribes, which are
most exposed 10 the influence, waste
away and disappear. AS the interior be-
comes opened up the fiery elements
will spread inland, and the nearer the
brute line they are, the more rapid will
be the effects. 1t requires high grade
of civilization and development to
drink intoxicants decently. 1t might be
we'll to supplant that New England rum
in Africa with light wines and beers.

The recent Incorporate sermon of DR..

one topic for debate in the clerical con-
gress to be held during the worlds fair
might properly be: us it justifiable
for clergyman to use epithets in the

meeting?"- Times.
DR.. Parkhurst should, if possible, gov
ern his temper, which does not appear
to be exactly angelic. When DR.. P.

the pulpit at the time, he swears quite
violently. For example, witness this

THE SPRINGER PLAN.

The GLOBE favors the SPRINGER
plan of tariff reform. 1t does so for
two reasons. One is because it is prac-
teal. Were an attempt made to enact a
more general measure, the result would
be nothing more satisfactory than de-
bate. The session would be spent in
talk, and when it was all over the coun-
try would have no clear conception of
what had been going on, and no relief
at all from the present oppressive sys-
TEN. A stout blow now here and now
there will have telling effect. People
can see what is aimed at, and.I it is not
reached, will be able to fix the respon-
sibility for the miscarriage where it be-
longs. If the senate defeats the free
wool bill or the president vetoes it, the
Republican party will be held account
able. If, on the other hand, it were at
tempted to solve the whole problem at
once, it might be the complexity of the
structure. or the inevitable defects which
would creep into so magnificent an en-
deavor, would compass its ruin.
The other reason why the GLOBE
favors the SPRINGER plan is this:
Should we secure free wool, for exam
pie, the country could measure accu-
rately the effect of tariff reform in this
one schedule. 1t could see how reduced

ROMANTIC EEGURES.

Possibly it is in view of the census
being taken in New ork, which is eX-
pected to enlarge the lead the great me-
tropolis has of the worlds fair city,
that the books of information in regard
to the exposition being sent out indulge
In romantic figures in regard to the pop
ulation and its composition. One of
these, spoken of approvingly in the
leading papers of the city, estimates
the population at the beginning of the
year at 1 1873. 335. This is an increase of
$4,000 since the census in June, 1890.
1t is about two-thirds of the entire in
crease of the previous decade, and is
only tolerable in real estate literature.
1t is probable, however. that such esti-
mates are designed for circulation in
Germany and Ireland, for the further
statement of the publication credits the
bulk of the population to those nation
alities. The native element is not much
In excess of that of Ireland, being but
292, 463. while Germany has nearly one
third more. In figuring fol a cosmo-
politan city such figures do service. but
they rather overdo the thing. They
count all persons of foreign parentage
as not natives, when the greater part of
them were born in the United States.
No doubt a considerable majority of the
Chicago population are natives. Such
publications should be designated as
exclusively for use in other countries.

BY POPULAR VOTE.

The utterances of the grand old man
OF Illinois on the issue OIL which he was
elected to the senate should be read
with care by every intelligent voter in
the United States. Chicago Globe.
Senator Palmer, in his maiden effort
in the United States senate, had an eX-
cellent subject, and he seems to have
made good impression with his argu-
ment in favor of the election of senators
by the people.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Senators are no longer looked on as
the ambassadors of sovereign states,
not even by Senator Palmer, but are
regarded as the representative of the
whole people of a state. Hence, the
chief reason for their designation by the
legislature has ceased to exist, and the
people ought to elect them directly in
stead OF indirectly Chicago Tribune.
Senator Palmer lntimates that seats
III the United States senate have been
or may be obtained by corrupt means.
Well. if the people of small legisla-
tive district are not able to choose a
member Of the legislature who is above
bribery, why should it be assumed that
they can choose United States senator
who is above bribery and corruption?-
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Senator Palmer's argument before the
senate dealt mainly with the historical
and constitutional phases of the ques-
ton. The brief held by him is one that
many others have timidly held at times.
But there was no timidity in Senator
Palmer's attack, and his boldness NAV
loosen the tongues of others who hold
similar opinions. The Illinois senator
has eSpoused popular cause, and per-
hapS winning one.-Chicago News.
Having accorded to the message the
profound respect to which it was en-
titled, Senator Palmer declared that
the election of Legislatures which elect
United States senators are also infiu-
enced and often controlled by an un-
fair arrangement Of the legislative dis
tricts. The change proposed in the
method of choosing senators would de-
feat the object of the 'gerrymander."-
Chicago Herald.
