People must fully understand the ne
cessity for good roads before they win
become interested in engineering prob
lemA The question Of the commercial
advantage Of good roads, the relation Of
good roads to the price Of wheat, must
be fully understood before people can be
interested in macadam. Railways have
within the last seven years reduced all
transportation charges by moro than
one-half. Country roads have done
nothing along this line. Railroads have
been in the march Of civilization, coun-
try roads In the decline. The price of
wheat In tho west has been relatively in
creased by the improvements in trans
portation facilities by rail and water.
transportation facilities over country
roads have not been improved. The
farmer has been the sufferer.
The price Of farming property in many
sections has declined. Certainly farming
property has not kept apace in itsearn-
ing capacity with other productive prop
ertieA This Is because transportation

together with other marketing facilities
and farm methods generally. have not
progressed along with the rest Of the
world Furthermore, many sections Of
the wheat producing regions Of theworld
are surrounded with and helped by good
roads
In England we hear it said 'that
through improvements Of our roads
every branch Of agricultural CONNER
cial and manufacturing industries has
been materially benefited. Every article
brought to market has diminished In
price, and the number Of horses has been
so reduced that by these and other re-
trenchments f5 ,00O, 900 or about &25 000,-

expense Of repairing roads and the wear

wasted In feeding unnecessary horses ars
devoted to producing food for man. In
short, the public and private advantages
which result from effecting this great
object Of the improvement Of our high
ways and turnpike roads are incalcula-
ble."
England and Wales are spending up
ward Of 100000, 900 annually in the
maintenance Of roads. France proba-
bly, has the best system Of roads in Eu-
rope today. There are more than $780,

never allows the slightest defect to re-

DEMOCRATIC PIRATES.

Because certain members or the Dem
ocratic party in Pawtucket decline to
wear the Carroll collar the Providence
organ of the Brennan Carroll faction
rises to denounce them MS pirates. The
Pawtucket boilers are not likely, how
ever, to pay much heed to or to be
greatly affected by such diatribes. They
have heard them for three years and
more and have waxed stronger under
them.
It appears, however, to be a case of
the pot calling the kettle black. This
same organ which denounces Mr.. Smith
and his friends as traitors and pirates
not very long time ago bolted
when James McNally was the
party nominee for mayor of this
city. More than that, in season
and out of season, before and since it
has INDUCED in attacks upon Mr.. Nc
Nally which in tone and in matter were
little better than indecent. Probably
the organ regarded these virulent at
tacks as high and convincing evidence
of its devotion to Democracy.
1t is more than likely that the inspi-
ration for the article denouncing the
Pawtucket independents came from that
shining example of pure and unaduller-
ated Democracy, General John M.
Brennan, who was wont to denounce
the Australian ballot system as can
importation from the penal colonies Of
England" and who helped to
knife McNally at the polls and boasted
of his work afterward.
1t is indeed amusing to hear men who
are themselves discredited hurling such
epithets as "traitor" and pirate" at
those who have the courage and the
honesty to refuse to do the dirty work
outlined for them by a coterie of politi-
cal tricksters. II the Smith men of
Pawtucket vote against Mr.. Robinson
for mayor they will do so because he
is the candidate of the ring which has
disgraced itself and the party to which
it claims allegiance. 1t is in the ranks
of this ring the TRAITORS" and pirates
are probably to be found and not among
men who are courageous enough to re-
pudiate a discredited boss and his
satellites.

MORE FALSE CLAIMS.

Thisis the season when the Democratic
politician becomes greatly solicitous for
the welfare of the working man, and
this year as in those that preceded the
toiler Is being told how great is the love
the Democracy hears him aud how i'm
defatigable its efforts in his behalf have

The old story that the Democracy

being used for the purpose of capturing
votes in this aud other cities which are

date for mayor OF Pawiucket, had been
greatly instrumental in securing the
extension OF the franchise TO foreign

dation in fact aud that instead OF being
