ATypicuI Country Road.

A short time ago Mr.. Waterman,
who runs the wagon express between
Albany and Schenectady. N. r., while
On his trip between these cities with n
load Of about / 400 pounds drawn by
two horses. came to dead standstill In
enc of the deep. soft spots which abound
In Albany county.
Mr.. Waterman had TO unload his en-
tire cargo and carry it piece by piece
over the entire distance Of 600 feet, after
which his team managed to struggle
through with the empty wagon, and Mr..
Waterman finally succeeded in putting
his load back into the wagon and moving
along on his journey. This is the old
stage road and should be one Of the best
in the world. but for many years has
been entirely neglected and is now in a
deplorable state. Mr.. Waterman says
that road has cost him moro work, wear.

THEIR OCCUPATION GONE.

Since the adoption of the plurality
amendment to the constitution by the
tremendous majority of some $4,000,
THE News has heard but one sigh for
the good old times of second elections
and Doodle. That sigh was
waited simultaneously from Newport
and Scituate, and it emanated
from Br'er Honey and Br'er Rathburn
respectively Of those bailiwicks. A large
part Of the political occupation Of Br'er
Honey and Br'er Rathburn is indeed
gone with the vanishing Of second cleo
tions. As will readily be recalled it has
been the custom Of those versatile poll
tical serio-comics after emerging from
the smoke and dust Of the conflctin their
own town, TO meander over the
other counties, like knight-errants
of old, and help out their
ilk and kind in the struggle Of
second elections. West Greenwich,
South Kingston, North Kingston,
and half dozen other hotly contested
centres could tell many tale Of the
deeds OF Don Quixote Honey aud
Sancho Panzo Rsthburn sin their
midst" But the good old days have
gone never to return. No more can their
personal participation be brought to
bear in close sections to "save the day."
while the plaudits Of the Democracy far
aud near rings in their ears and the
Doodle bird pipes cheerily to his
loving mate.
The era Of knight-errantry is over.
Br'er Honey and Br'er Rathurn must
confine their resplendent talents to do
mestic purposes.

signs or the Times.

Hon. John Walker of Howard county,
Mo-, yentilates q plan which has the
merit Of originality and probable feast
bility also. Mr.. Walker says:
II will give 81 per acre on every acre
Of land ! own toward the building of a
gravel road from Rocheport to Jack
mans mill. NY farm consists of 450
acres--hence will take stock in said
road TO the amount of $3.50. will also
give the same amount for gravel road
from Rocheport to Ashland church or
from the church to Fayette.
''If we could get the farmers once in
terested in such an enterprise, it would
be but q few years until we would have
the best roads in the west. The build
ing of these roads can be accomplished
with less cost in the long run than the
present system of road working is now
costing the farmer. 1t must also be re-
membered that each individual who pays
in as much as 800 becomes stockholder
in the road. In fact, stock can be issued
at 800 q share. and will venture the
assertion that this money will return O
larger dividend than in any other way
invested"
This has the right ring. II hits the
nail squarely on the head and shows that
Mr.. Walker knows what he is talking
about. Next TO railroads, substantial
and lasting public highways are worth
more to a country, including both the
farmers and the townsmen, than any
other single investment that could be
made. The press and citizens Of Mis-
souri, and Kansas should take this Ques-
tion up and not cease agitating II until
the principal towns of every county with
in the two states are joined by lasting
macadam or gravel roads. Kansas City

ANOTHER EXPOSITION.

The glare Of the recent Worlds fair
has 20 dszzled the vision OF Americans
that they have. TO great extent. failed
to note that another exposition has
grown up in their midst with almost
mushroom rapidity. Out in Califor-
MIA they have nearly completed what is
known as the midwinter fair. Originally
ii was intended for local affair only,
but the conception has grown at such
an astonishing rate that it has now as
sumed the proportions Of an international
exhibition. Seyenty-five commodious
buildings will have been com
pleted and filed by January 1,
1894, when the new Worlds fair will be
thrown open TO the public. 1t is
modelled much after the same plan as
the Columbian exposition mt Chicago.
but OF course does not contemplate so
extensive "a scope. Owing to the semi
tropical climate of California
the winter months will have
no retarding effect upon the success
OF the show. An evidence Of the intel
ligence with which the new fair has
been planned is the fact that news

San Francisco Chronicle, is director

SURF TO SUCCEED.

{ [From the Newpost News. ]

From the Newpoht news
The new Providence NEWS made its APP
pearance yesterday according TO program.
IL retains very little of the appearance
and general outline OF preceding issues.
The size Is reduced from eight pages to
four, and the price cut down to one
cent. We have already expressed our
opinion as to the qualities Of the
new management, and may now add that
IL the paper is maintained on the lines in
dicated il can scarcely fail OF success.
For many years the predecessors OF the
new NEWS have been owned and conduct
ed in the interest of outside parties,
-who-have used them rs helps to Peiit-
ical advancement and for personal ends.
But the present proprietors say: "The
management Is in business for the pro-
duction of first class newspaper. They
have absolute and sole control of the
property which bears their name and are
untrammeled by outside influences, as
they are also free OF every financial obli-
CATION"
Such being the case they have an OPEN
field and a fair chance, not only for life,
but for prosperity. Rhode Island has
too many private organs which masquer-
ade under the headlines of newspaper
dom and which are supported by
"pap" from those outside who
are seeking advancement, and we
are happy to welcome the new conner to
the family of real newspapers, which a
private and personal organ can never be.
The new NEWS announces thatit will be
Republican in politics, on the broad plat
form OF impartial news gathering and
devotion to the interest OF the public
rather than to cliques and parties.

SETTLE 1T BY ARBITRATloN.

The situation in Olneyville has
reached phase where a settlement
must either very readily be brought
about or prolonged struggle, carrying
with it distress and suffering more fear
ful IN the actuality than in the contem-
plation. A large percentage of the
wage earners Of the city are now idle on
account Of this strike. Many thousands
are directly affected. n the struggle is
prolonged indefinitely Heaven alone
only knows the privations that the
working people Of olneyville will be
called uIon 10 face. All the aid
that will or can be contributed by out
side organizations for the winter will
not equal weeks pay. The matter Is
affecting the entire city and state. yet
the two parties TO the strife are only
separated by narrow margin in
their differences. The executive
committee and the manufacturers
have failed to get together.
Naturally for they represent parties
whose prejudices are temporarily bind
ing them. The .business men of that
section also failed. IL is to be regretted
that Rhode Island has no state board of
arbitration, but in the absence OF one
THE News makes a suggestion to both
sides, and in good faith. Let the work
ing people suggest one arbitrator, the
manufacturers another, and the two
chose third. Let both sides agree to
abide by theis decision, and a settlement
will speedily be reached, and
yet good feeling prevail. Let
such men as President Andrews. Bishop
Clark. Ex-Governor Ladd, DR.. l.. f. G.
Garvin, or any other mea Of
broad mind, and who would deal
in liberal, intelligent add
honorable way with the questions
he selected and an end will be put to
this unhappy strife that is now carrying
misery and suffering into the homes of
so many thousands OF our fellow citi-
zens. THE News has no authority for
using any names in this connection, but
it believes there is not man in all
Rhode Island who would not use his
best endeavor to bring about harmony
and put IN end to SO grievous condi-
tion OF affairs.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-12-14

The extraordinary welcome accorded
THE NEWS under its new management
compelled an immediate enlargement into
eight pages on the second issue. This was
repea ed on the third day. Today
after q careful survey of the field of
the circulation and business so soon
-sequired by this enterprise, the pub
fishers have pleasure in announcing that
hereafter The NEWS win comprise eight
pages--the price remaining one cent.
