PONTIAC ROAD.

The petition Of the town Of Cranstor
for state assistance in maca damizing
the Pontiac road will throw some valu-
able light upon the somewhat indefinite
views entertained in regard to good
roads, what they cost and how to get
them.
The farmers have almost universally
expressed themselves as in favor of the
NOV snent, and the action of the Board
of Trade may be said to represent the
approval Of the business men Of the
city.
Here, then, are the two factors most
interested, for it is these two classes
that will pay for the roads and use
them most, urgently requesting that
something be done.
1t is for this reason that the report Of
the state commission to investigate the
subject win be looked for anxiously.
The commission will do we'll to ex-
anime that part of the Pontiac road
already constructed. That is a road
thirty-one feet wide on its surface, with
foundation of eighteen inches deep
and sixteen feet wide. Its cost has
been about $40, 900 per mile.
1t is safe to estimate for sufficien tly
wide state road (say Is feeD the cost
will not exceed $4,000 mile. This is
an important point, for it shows the nc
tual cost, and that the results are excel
lent. The road was built by the town of
Cranston, and at its present average cost
for repairs will not cost $25 year per
mile.

The bill that was introduced in the
Senate yesterday providing for free text
books in the public schools is long step
in the right direction, and il ii should
become a law will inevitably reflect
great credit upon the party that pushes
it to that consummation.
1t is only a short time since the whole
matter was very fully discussed in this
city, and incidentally throughout the
state. The school board of this city has
decided TO make the experiment of fur
nishing the pupils of the public schools
with text books at the expense Of the
city.
The policy is now in force in so many
progressive states, and has been in
vogue for so long time, that there is
very little risk involved, and the argu-
ments for it are so many and SO strong
that 1t is difficult to imagine what
ground there can be found for honest
objection TO il.
The policy of free education is not
fully in force while the unequal burden
of buying the books and other school
supplies rests upon the parents of the
pupils. The books are as essential a
part of the free education as the teacher
is, and as long as the teacher is fur
nished by taxation and the books by the
parents it is obvious that the poor pay
much greater tax for the education of
their children than the rich do.
The bill ought to be speedily consid-
cred in committee, and as speedi ly
passed.

and up TO midnight he was expected. At
last as morning drew near it was deemed
certain that the poet had forgotten the in

Democratic machinery shall hold over un-
til April 30, 1897; and coming from a Re
publican senator of such prominence as
Senator Sherman, il shows that he is will
ing to ASSUME swo months delay In the
possible return Of his party to power, rather
than expose the most valuable lives In this
country as they commonly are exposed on
March L.
To make this change requires a vote Of
three-fourths of the states, but it is really
so much a measure Of common humanity
that there will probably be no difficulty in
making the amendment a part Of the
organic law. Senator Sherman is a man
who doesn't take hold of a thing unless he
means to carry it through, and he proba-
bly, feels it would be'the best rounding out
of great career to carry through this
amendment, which is in the interests,
not only Of the American people, but of
humanity.
The people cheerfully support life-sav-
ing service, that costs a good deal of
money-and yet, they have not, so far,
adopted a life-saving precaution that not
only affects every one of the hundreds
of thousands of people who come to inaug-
urations, but of the outgoing and incom-
ing presidents, and everybody connected
with the administration in Washington,

The prediction of ex-Secretary Foste r
that there would be no need to issue
bonds, as the receipts of the govern
ment would continue to show increases
over the expenditures, which not vet
fully verified, is sufficiently attested by
events to have allayed already to some
extent the feeling of distrust and anx-
iety which was so dominant two weeks
ago.
Few of the public perhaps realized
the full extent of this feeling, or recop-
nized the evidences of its practical
effect, which are still operating in the
money market. The evidences were

This demand can be traced to no plain

had for many years past. The trade ON
the great lakes is at r standstill. and
the earnings Of the railroads show only
IN few cases such increases as
would warrant the statement that gen
eral merchandise has been moving even
as freely as usual. In cereals the move
ment has not been equal TO that of last
year. In meat products there has been
great scarcity. Ffom the South there
has been less cotton moved, and prices
have been too low to create any activity.
General business has been fair. but not
excessive. All these facts point TO a
comparatively small demand for money.
