WAsHIxarox. D. C., May 5, Is


Hurrah for the Democratic adj
ministration! It has proven itself
t0 be- the masteEa not the servant, of
Wall Street, and the government
still lives, and the Treasury con-
tinues and will continue to pay out
gold to all who may desire il for
treasury notes. A greater financial
triumph was never achieved by any
administration. It marks the be-
ginning of new era, in which the
President of the United States and
lis Cabinet will dictate our nation
al financial policy, instead of hav-
ing it done from Wall street, as it
has been done already too long for
the good of the country. The Wall
street crowd invited the knock
down blow they received. Seeing
that bankers all over the country
were following the lead of those
of the. South and West in furnish
ing the treasury with gold the
Wall streeters, got together and
formulated proposition in which
they agreed to furnish the treasury
with from $50, 1000, 600 to $50, 0OO,-
600; in gold, but the proposition
had a string tied TO il in the shape
Of a proviso that bonds should be
issued for their gold. Other banE-
sEs turned their gold into the treasr
ury without. question. because. Of
their confidence ip Che E0Yernme9t

Cleveland and the Cabinet three
minutes to formulate an indignant

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Road Question.

Mr.. Editor.-ThoughtfUl people, 1t
would seem, are beginning to realize the
necessity of having better advantages OF
communication with one another as lar
as the highways are concerned. Our
farmers are beginning to wake up to the
necessities of the case since they have
begun to carry their milk or cream to the
creamery two or three times week.
Our small lumberman are finding that 1t
would be greatly to their advantage II,
at that season of the year when their
work was most in demand, they could
utilize their teams to the best advantage
possible.
Here in Arlington lumbermen are
using trucks sufficiently strong TO. carry
fully half a carload of lumber with ease
were the roads in fairly good condition,
but in the present condition of the high
ways they give out all too soon carrying
load of 1000 feet of lumber. A few
days since l was driving through neigh
boring town and, behold! the road re-
pairer had been that way, had raked
some dirt and good many stones into
the highway, had built some beautiful
water bars forgive the name), which
could not have been worse had they
placed twelVe-inch maple log acrost the
road, and all the use / could see for them
|. e., the bars, was to impede ones travel.
Two years since was driving along 4
road which is one of the most used in
this town, we came to short down
grade and the repairing man had been
there as we'll On the uphill side of some
old water bars that had nearly fallen into
'in0cuous duSuetude" this good executor
of the law had with many blows of pick
Il .,al, nh fDnPtnnn
inches wide aud some inches deep, sutfi-
cient at least with the utmost care on
the part of the driver to make it very un-
comfortable for the occupants of the car
riage and so it remained until the show
ers of heaven washed in sufficient dirt to
smooth the way once more. These then
are but two samples of hundreds of
cases like them, where the labors have
been, if possible. worse than useless.
Where, every time one rides over the
roads he feels like using explosives not
found in Noah Webster's big book.
Our Legislature has at its last ses-
sion done what it could for the benefit of
our highways, in one respect at least, and
thar is fixing the responsibility for i'm
prevements and repairs on one man.
Rhode Island of all the New England
States seems to be far in the lead in i'm
proving the highways, having for that
purpose appropriated large sums from
the State treasury.
At the coming March meeting it is to
be hoped that our towns in the Batten-
kill Valley will see to it that such men
are appointed to look after the highways
as will bring to their work an intelligent
comprehension of the needs of each To-
cality and thus secure better results than
were ever known.
