THE HIGHWAYS OF BELGIUM.

SD Well Constructed That They Can Com
pete With the Railroads.
It has been well said that Americans
travelling in some parts of Europe are
struck with the enormous loads drawn
by horses and dogs, whereas a glance at
the roadway would do much to account
for the possibility. Belgium, as Consul
Tanner of Liege reports, is divided into
nine provinces, each having its own bu-
reau Of roads and bridges. The roads
avoid heavy grades, are oval and usually
paved with stone, with gravel or with
gravel covering stone, which is best of
all, as there is less jolting and noise than
ON stone, less wear and tear for running
gear, with good road still remaining if
the gravel washes away.
The stones are uniform and regular in
size and quickly laid or taken up again.
After they are placed earth is put on
them to fill the crevices, and the whole is
well rolled, sometimes with large roller
drawn by four horses. If there is no
danger of washing, gravel road may
take the place of stone, but If the sides,
which receive the drainage, show symp-
toms of yielding, they are carefully
paved, SO that washes and gullies cannot
begin there.
The roads are SO well built that they
can compete with therailroads. Wagons
laden with merchandise, for example,
enter Liege from Brussels, 60 miles
away, and even from Antwerp, 70 miles.
The draft horses are, to be sure, very
large and strong, but it would take two
of them to pull the same load on many
American roads. A cart filed with beef
for sale and drawn by one dog will trav-
ell dozen miles, returning with tho
owner as passenger

+. THE TARIFF MUST GO"

Under this heading The Lacrosse
Chronicle of recent date contained a
vigorous and timely editorial article
High takers who seek to drive tariff
reformers from the vantage ground
which they have gained, by asserting
that should the tariff laws be disturb
ed it will bring ruin to the country,
find that their efforts are for naught.
The pledges made to the people in
the last national democratic platform
must, and will be redeemed, by elimin-
ating the protective principle from
the present system of tariff taxation ;
and the work will be done without
disturbing any egimate business in
terests. The Chronicle says:
Nothing could be more consistent
than the persistent inconsistency of
the average high protectionist. He
tells us now that the hard times are
due to anticipation of tariff reduction.
Think for moment what that means
the people are alarmed lest their
taxes may be reduced, after they have
have voted overwhelmingly that they
want them reduced.
Then the high taxer tells us with
great gravity that it will never do to
touch the tariff because the country
would 60 to the dogs if we did. Just
lookl" says he, "see what condition
the country is brought to by a mere
fear of reduction of the tariff Z" Ii
he is right in that statement there can
never be so good time as the present
for cutting the tariff clear to a revenue
basis, for the fear of these protection

Won a Practical Victory.

Lacrosse Chronicle.
The United States appears to have
suffered a technical defeat aid won a
practical victory in the Be ring sea
arbitration. The really essen ial point
after all is that seal life will lie safer
from the discriminating butchers under
proposed agreements, and the worlds
most valuable fur producer will last a
little longer.

Baldheaded Protection.

The other day it was ascertained that
an ''old soldier" was receiving pension
for bald head. Now another is discov-
cred who Is compensated by an admir-
ing country for having two corns on
one foot" For these terrible "war"
mutilations trade is discouraged by a
protective tariff to meet the increased
expenditure, and the farmers produce
is lying idle in the elevators waiting for
customers to buy from US if we would
only buy from them. Such is the en-
hghtened government we have been
blessed with.-National Economist

The Sherman silver law drained the
treasury of nearly fifty millions OF
dollars in gold, in little over year
and if undisturbed would debase the
currency.
1t should, and will be repealed!
During the last fiscal year the
Mckinley tariff law, while increasing
taxation, reduced the revenues OF the
government over fifty millions of dol

A Good Sign.

Galena Gazette.
One good sign of the times is the
return of gold into circulation. The
first seven months of this year abso-
lutely no gold was to be had, but now
the yellow metal is seen occasionally.
A Galena business man who received
$40 in gold Tuesday, said it was more
gold than he had handled in six
months before.

Road Lore,
Repair should never be DELAYED.

Repair should never be delayed.
Scientific supervision is essential.
Wetting down aids repair by helping
the new added material to adhere to the
old.
For repair, especially of large areas, as
well as for construction, steam roller
effects great economy.
The use of wide tires should be en-
couraged either by bounty on such or by
tax on narrow ones.
Four wheeled freighting vehicles
should not track; the hind wheels should
roll outside the track of the fore wheels.
Local tax for maintenance tends to
prevent local misuse, promotes local su-
pervision and prompts repair.

Those doubters who have asked for

QUARTERMAsTER FIELD.
He Speaks in Amelia To-Day-views on
the Financial situation.

General James G.. Field arrived In the
city yesterday afternoon at o'clock. and
left at o'clock for Amelia Courthouse.
where he will speak TO an Alliance meet
Ing this morning. The meeting is to be
non-partisan gathering, and the Cen
erals speech will be OF a non-partisan
character. The General will speak at
Midlothian this afternoon
When asked his opinion I'm reference 10
the Sherman silver law, General Field
said he was opposed 10 repeating the law,
unless II should be substituted by some
other equally as acceptable. Such a Jaw.
he thinks. ought to provide for the free
coinage OF silver.
General Field holds Mr.. Cleveand's
administration responsible 70 some ex
tent for the present financial troubles.
Inc Sherman law, he maintains, has
never been executed I'm its entirety. He
claims that the provision for the coinage
OF bullion purchased under that act has
not been fully carried out. Had 1t not
been the General thinks, the financial
outlook would have been more favorable.
The General is not all satisfied that
the repeal of the sherman law will re-
store prosperity and confidence I'm bust
ness circles.
III reference 20 the campaign In this
state, General Field said his party pur-
posed making red-hot fight. They
would neither ask for quarters nor give
any The chief issue. he thinks. will be
a vigorous demand for an amendment to
the present election laws Of this State.
Ills party Insists that every ballot shall
be counted, and counted. too as it is de-
posted by the voter. lie believes that
the free coinage will cut some figure in
the campaign Major Field was not pre-
pared TO say who will be the nominee
for his party for Governor. The unnani-
nous choice Of that side is for Major
Mann Page. Of Prince George. He was
not prepared TO state, however
that the gentleman would accept
the nomination II rendered him.
Among others prominently spoken
OF in this connection are Major
Tyler Of Prince William. and Or. Edward
Cooke. Of Powhatan. The wish Of the
Popuists, the General said, is 10 select
the strongest and best man for the head
Of the ticket that can be found in the
State. without regard to geographical To-
cation.

TUO GAMES TO-DAY.
Tho Cranks VIII lie Out In Full Force at
Forest hin Park.

The feature Of yesterdays three-inning

first half OF the fourth inning every
one. bleachery occupants. players and
small boys upon the fences, were forced
to scramble for seats I'm the grand stand.
The place offered a very good shelter
for the cranks. and they were treated
10 a decidedly practical illustration Of
how a diamond can be flooded. The rain
poured, the wind made the stout oaks
bend 10 its fury the dark clouds were
frequently frightened by the vivid nashes
Of lightning. and the deep notes OF
heavens artillery made the scene one OF
awe and beauty.
AS soon as the rain ceased everyone
made for the cars, and $50 found thu
park deserted.
The game started out well. and there
was every reason 10 believe that the
College men would have been the vic
tors They sent one man across the
plate in the first. three in the third, ana
one I'm the fourth. None of the Virgin
las got further than third base. There
were two errors made by each side
and the College men pounded Davis for
six clean hits. The Nirginias failed 10
get n hit from Anthony.
This morning at II o'clock the College
men and Forest Hnlites VIII meet each
other on the Chesterfield diamond, and
I'm the afternoon at o'clock the Nirginias
