ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS.

A country without roads will re.
main undeveloped, it's hidden treas
ures stored away.
Where poor roads prevail every
thing else is very apt to be poor, the
horse, the farmer and merchant.
If two horses haul the load of four,
one wagon haul the load of two, one
set of harness haul the load of two,
one driver serve for two and six
miles instead three be made per
hour, the aggregate saving would
double the net income of the aver
age farmer. This desideratum can
only be accomplished by the means
of good public roads.
The effect OF good public roads
upon land value, is to increase the
value of such lands.
Experience has shown tha5 the
value of ground is in direct ratio to
the good condition of the streets or
roads which traverse them.
A road system is the means OF
facilitating intercourse.
Inter Communication is the back
bone of business. Good public
roads are the primary necessities OF
civilized life and national prosperity.

WORK BEFORE THE NEW CHIEF.

chief Of police, has entered upon his
duties and begun, as we presume, with
the earnest intention of doing his whole
duty. We wish him success in the
management of the affairs of the police
department. of this city. The office is
one whose road bed is not strewn with
roses, nor one which entities its holder
to sit back and take his ease during
his occupancy of it. On the contra

lance, the strictest attention to it's
affairs and the careful enforcement of
discipline and duty in the whole de-
partment.

check the further depredations of this

guard against the work of the incen.
diary and ferret out the perpetrators of
this kind OF work, which, also, has

command. Watchfulness, perseverance,
and determination will accomplish much

that merit and not pedigree should gov
ern the selection. They went bout this
reform in business.like manner and
they succeeded.
The Post desires to congratulate Sena-
tor-elect Martin and the people of Vir-
glnia on the outcome Of this contest.
However, 1t must be admitted that, al
though Mr.. Martin was thoroughly re-
lieved of all suspicion Of improper con
duct and the odium placed upon tho per
sons who had so recklessly assailed his
good name, the Democratic organization
in the State has been placed in rather
Inconsistent light. 1t appears from tho
estimony of gentlemen who were on
opposite sides of the Senatorial contro-
versy that it has long been practice Of
the Virginia Democrats to solicit and
accept large campaign contributions
from railway and other corporations
and that tho corporations have become
SO used to this practice that they throw
up their hands whenever it is announced
that a campaign is oa.
Corporations are not in the habit of
contributing to campaign funds merely
for the fun of seeing the political wheels
GO around. They always expect sub
stantial returns from every dollar they
put out. 1t will be recalled that during
the recent Virgins campaign the Demo
cratic orators had considerable to saw
concerning the evils of monopoly and
the dangers of corporate powers. In
view of this chain of circumstances it
would be interesting to know why the
corporations contributed to the Virginia
campaign. This is not question for
Senator elect Martin alone, but for all
the Democratic leaders of the common
wealth.
