that Cleveland's professions of friend

GREAT efforts have been made by
Democratic papers to find out how
members of Congress will vote on the
Sherman law. The most successful is
that of the New York Times. This
journal received replies from Sc out of
255 Democratic Representatives and
Senators, that they would favor repeal
ing the law. This is melancholy state
of things; only fifth of the party in
power in favor of repeal. The success
of repeal sentiment does not appear
promising.

If the Republican party can not win
in Belmont county this fall, it had better
60 out of business. Events have shown
that Democracy as party has no policy
and no capacity, and that by deplora-
BILE mistake the voters of the country
entrusted it with control which it was
ruinously and shamefully incompetent
to assume. Then our local opponents
ought certainly to be no bar to success.
The party is torn to pieces in a canine
like squabble over the few crumbs
which have fallen from the administra-
tion table.

WHY does not the Democratic press
now shrek of calamity? They shrieked
loudly enough last fall when there was
no calamity. Now they are silent aud
insist that Republican organs shall be
likewise, when business is really dull,
and the country is really threatened with
financial and commercial disaster.

ROAD SYSTEM.
A Change Needed in the Present Manner
of Working Roads.

OF w Ork1nE hOaQs
MEssRs. EDIToRs-The present system
of road supervision has been handed
down for many decades, and there has
been but little change since olden times
when the woodman's ak was used to
mark the different trees for guide to
the traveller who started on his lonely
journey through the dense forest, not
knowing that in future ages the people
would in this one particular tread almost
in the same footsteps. Evolution and
civilization sprang from the hidden mys-
teries. The sound of the spinning wheel,
power loom, of oxen and horses tramp
ing grain, the tedious work of making
garments with the hands, of cutting
grass with the scythe-all were changed
by the genius of our people. Yet their
needs are not all supplied. Railroads
supply the wants of our commercial men,
but the farmers and persons who have to
travel by horseback, and haul heavy loads
for long distances. feel the need of good
dirt roads, and will, until there is some
change in the road supervision. Our su-
pervisors elected in each road district
annually to guide and instruct persons in
their charge, give plenty of time to plan
how piece of road can be improved, but
not how it shall be improved; conse-
qusntly our country roads are let go till
the break up of spring, when they get al
most impossible; then the cry of more
drainage is heard. This is the wrong
time in the season to use the word
"can," which is only used in warm wealth
er. Farmers should petition the Legis-
lature for an investigation of our road
system, that our Representatives may
understand that there are many defects
found in the present system. If fcareful-
ly investigated and thoroughly presented
before any law making body, members
of which have had practical experience
travelling our roads, they would unani-
mously favor change. But until the
farmers send in their petitions asking a
revision as one great body, and sincerely
defend their want by thrusting their
spear directly at the candidate who has
been tried and will not heed their calls,
their wants will not be supplied.
Our county now stands at the front in
commerce and prosperous people; yet
our roads being the only way of trans
portation from the different farms, and
the only means of getting our products
to the marts of trade, are far behind,
when the power of two horses on mac
adamized road is equal to the power of
four horses on our common country
roads. Our roads need Improvements,
and in order that they have chance for
improvement, our present system must
be changed. |. FL. WAKEFIELD.

Rattlesnake Suit.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Rattlesnake Pete's suit of clothes,
which has been the subject of more
newspaper comment than any suit of
mems wearing apparel since Oscar
Wilde and his knickerbockers were
flashed upon the public, were finished
by A. c. Fleischman at Oil City, Pa,
recently. The suit, as completed, con-
sists of double breasted sack coat and
trousers made of rattlesnake skins. so
arranged that the yellow and black
stripes form peculiarly pleasing effect.
1t took the owner of the suit four years
to gather the skins of the right texture,
and over 400 feet of snake skins were
required. One hundred and twenty-t five
snakes, not one of them less than four
feet long, gave up their lives to form
the suit
In selecting the skins, Pete took some
of the most healthy and brilliant speci-
mems, killed them by severing the back
bone close to the head, and skinned the
reptile in the same manner in which an
eel is skinned. The skins were tanned
with salt water and alum and were fin
ished with linseed oil, making them as
pliable as kid, retaining the natural
brilliancy of the skin and making the
garment perfectly waterproof. The but
tons of the coat number eight. They
are rattlesnake heads with filling of
plaster of paris, fitted with artificial
eyes and mounted with gold. The tailor
has been working on the suit since last
November, the length of time required
was on account of the delay of securing
skins of the proper color for the sleeves
to match the remainder of the coat.

SUPPRESSED TIN PLATE FIGURES.

SUPPRESSED TIN PLATE FIGURES.
New York Press.
1t is easy to see the motive, but it is
not so easy to comprehend the blunder-
ing policy which has led the Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, to withhold
from the public the quarterly report
upon the tin plate industry prepared by
Special Agent Aver. Under the Nc
Kinley act, tin and terne plates are sub
ject to duty of two cents, unless it
shall be shown than their production in
the United States has failed, before 1897,
to reach one-third of the quantity i'm
ported. In order to keep an accurate
and official record of facts, which would
show whether or not the domestic man
ufacture of tin plates gave promise of
meeting the requirements of the tariff
law, special agent of the Treasury
Department was assigned to report the
statistics of this growing industry every
three months.
This agents last report showed that
during the quarter which ended Sep
tember 30, last, 54 per cent of the black
plates used were of domestic make.
That was discouraging to the enemies
of home industry, who began TO regard
the facts as unwelcome. Now second
report, prepared by the same sworn and
trusted official, covering the three
months which euded December 81, last,
has been submitted to Secretary Carlisle,
who has referred its statistics to Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin. Just what Jug
glery the Assistant Secretary is expected
to work is not clear. The exposure
which the Press has made of this SUP.
preston, for partisan editing, of a report
upon matter of concern to the public
is likely to defeat whatever design NAV
have suggested this arbitrary action.
Mr.. Carlisle can not now revise this re-
port in the interest of British manu-
facturers without his action being
known to his countrymen.
