FOR COUNTY JEDGE-

The administration of the Office of
county judge Of Iowa county, by
Judge Charles w. McIIhon, has been
eminently able and just, and has so
commended itself to the people Of the
county generally that nomination
papers, asking him to become al indie
pendent candidate at the approaching
spring election, are being numerously
signed by members Of all parties. So
strong is the sentiment in favor of
keeping the office independent Of party
politics, by the election Ct Judge
Mcllhon as an independent candidate,
that we understand that no con
ventiOns will be called to nominate
party candidates. Four years ago
Hon. John [. Jones, republican, was
endorsed by the democratic conyen-
ton. Judge Jones was unanimously
reelected, and served until his death,
IN the IAN OF 1891. Judge Mcllhon,
when appointed to the office, was
known as a ripe and good lawyer; and
he at once displayed qualities essential
to the able and just judge. His
prompt and satisfactory manner of
transacting business has won for him
the admiration Of all who had matters
adjudicated by the county court. The
business of the Office is year by year
growing in volume and Importance;
and the people of the county, when
they have the right man in the right
place, will act wisely by keeping him
there by a big majority.

oh, Delightful Gree Zonel.

A number of merchants belonging to
New York, Philadelphia and other cities
are on their way to Mexico with view
to secure an increased trade with that
country. One of the objects of their
mission is to persuade the Mexican gov
eminent to reduce some of its exorbi-
tant duties upon the products of the
United States. Since the people of the
United States have declared for tariff
reform, this mercantile mission to Mex
leo is timely and appropriate, and we
trust that it will not be barren Of results.
While in Mexico our merchants will also
have the opportunity to observe that a
very considerable portion of that coun-
try is now in the enjoyment of partial
commercial freedom. In what is known
as the Free Zone" bordering on the
United States, all imports consumed by
its inhabitants are free of duty. 1t is
only when commodities are intended fer
other parts of Mexico that duties are i'm.
posed upon them. So tenacious of this
privilege are the states of the Free
Zone" that they have successfully re-
sisted every effort to abolish it, while
other states are DESTROYS of being admit
ted into the Zone.-Philadelphi Record.

IMPROVEMENT or COUNTRY ROADS.
The State Should Pay for the Stem Roads
and the County for the Branches.

The State Should Pay for the Stem Roads
and the County for the Branches.
The Philadelphia Press speaks edito-
rally as follows:
The work Of road construction and
road Improvement belongs to the state,
or at least to the counties. New Jersey
has an optional system Of road improve
ment by the counties, and where it has
been adopted it has given great satisfac-
ton. The improved roads constructed
under this law have added immensely tc
the attractiveness Of the counties, in
creased their population, and the as
sessed value of their real estate has risen
to degree which more than pays the
cost of the roads.
The defect Of this optional system is
that only the more intelligent and pro-
gressive counties adopt it. Those which
need it worst are fearful that the expe-
riences Of other counties will not be re-
peated in their case, and they are content
to walloW along in the old way up to the
hubs in mud in wet months and stifed
with dust in the dry, their roads an Of
Tense and a burden from stupidity and
ignorance, and persisted in from gener-
alton to generation from mere inertia.
In the opinion Of The Ledger, ''the
Philadelphia theory that the property
owners along the line Of road should
be assessed for the first cost of its i'm
provement and that the county keep it
in repair after is the best one" This is
the rule for municipal street improve
1f571[ oil H. {o4o
priced by the foot and properties are
either very small or very valuable this
rule works fairly well, though as ap-
piled to suburban land it is often very
oppressive. AS applied to farm lands it
would often mean confscation.
In mountain regions, where land is not
very valuable and roadmaking is costly,
this city rule Of assessment is not to be
thought of. It's principle is wrong as
applied to stem roads connecting county
seats and large towns. Such roads should
be well built at heavy first cost. The
farmers along the road would benefit by
them, but SO would the inhabitants of
the city, which is largely the gamer by
improved means Of access to it.
The whole public is the gamer by the
construction Of durable, well graded,
smooth roads, and the whole public should
pay. The state should pay for stem roads
which cross county lines, the county for
branch roads that begin and end in the
county, but are not purely local, and the
cities, boroughs ard townships for the
roads wholly within their limits. Any
other rule for good road construction
either piles up a mountain of debt or in,
poverishes the rural landholders, who
will resist to the death the advent of good
roads if they must be paid for out of their
diminishing farm earnings.

Reciprocity with Brazil.

The reciprocity treaty with Brazil has
been in operation 90 months, and its
boosted results may be read in the off
cial returns Of trade, During the period
in question the exports from Brazil to the
United States have amounted in value to
S204, 814 ,G24, against Sill ,227 1868 in the
20 months Immediately preceding the
treaty. In the 20 treaty months the ex-
ports Of the United States to Brazil have
amounted to So, $50, 100, against $50 $780,
097 in the preceding 90 months. While
the imports from Brazil have increased
500 ,586, 6G1 in value, the exports to Bra
I'll have increased to the value of 81 ,44O,-
009. The imports from Brazil have in
creased in nearly seventyfold proportion
to the exports of the United States to Bro
I'll under reciprocity.
1t has never been pretended as a spe-
cial merit of reciprocity that its effect
would be to increase the imports of this
country. The object OF the policy, &C
cording to its advocates, is to promote
the export trade of the United States by
securing treaty favors to this trade from
other countries But the theory does not
work in the commerce with Brazil. While
the American people have consumed
in 90 months Brazilian commodities
chiefly coffee, rubber and sugar-of the
value of $780, ,814 GA, the exports to Bra
I'll from this country scarcely exceed a
tenth of that figure. In this lopsided
reciprocity the Brazilians sell us their
products in increasing quantities and go
to other markets for their supplies.
1t would be interesting to learn from
the advocates of McKinleyism what are
causes of this phenomenon III trade. Has
reciprocity stimulated the efforts of Eng
land, Germany and France to overcome
the treaty advantages granted by Brazil
to the United States, or are these advan-
tages, after all, merely illusory? Certain
it is that there is nothing in the returns
of trade with Brazil to indicate that this
country has derived the slightest benefit
from the treaty of reciprocity with the
government. On the contrary, the sta
fistics show an almost invincible repug-
nance on the part of the Brazilans to
reciprocal exchange of commodities with
the people of the United States. The
explanation is in the simple fact that the
Brazilians, while finding the chief mar
ket for their products in this country,
can buy textile fabrics, iron and steel
and other manufactures elsewhere on
better terms. In enhancing the cost of
production the Mckinley bill has in
creased the obstacles to trade with Brazil,
and the reciprocity treaty has in conse-
quence proved dead letter.-New Age.

The vicious system of issuing legis-
latiye passes has grown from bad to
worse, until it has become positively
unbearable. From the following in
formation which q Madison CORES
pendent sends The Milwaukee Journal
it seems that one Of the worst features
Of the system is to be stopped, for this
essSlon at least:
The railway agents who are here
have adopted rule with reference to
passes that will do away with some
portions of the nuisance. A pass is
now only granted from the home of
the receiver to Madison and return.
People had begun to ask for rides
from one point to another in the state,
until the patience of both members
and railway men gave out. Now the
rule is that member can get reas-
enable number of passes for his con-
stituents to visit Madison and so
home free, but he cannot send them
to other points in the state; neither
can he get passes for people who are
not in his district. This rule limits
the annoyance to which a member can
be put by residents of his immediate
neighborhood.

Regulations for Lent.

Archhisop Katzer has issued the fol-
lowing regulations for Lent for the
archdiocese Of Milwaukee:
Il. All the days Of Lent, Sundays
excepted, are fast-days OF obligation,
on which but one full meal is allowed.
%. The use Of h7sh-meat is allowed,
at the Apostolic dispensation, at the
principal meal only, Gu all days except
Wednesays and Fridays, and also Sat-
urday Of the second Or Ember week,
and Of holy week. Chose who are
exempt from fAstiog may more than
once partake Of hesh-meat on days not
enjoining ahstience)
g. The use If eggs, butter, milk
and cheese is by custom allowed
throughout Lent, aud also the use of
lard instead of butter for cooking.
Il Fish and ilesh-meat are not per-
mitted at the same meal.
"5. 4 collation. or repast may be
taken in the evening, but it ought not
to exceed the fourth part Of a ordinary
meal, and cup Of coffee and tea with
little milk and a small slice of bread
may te taken in the morning by those
who need it.
All must consider themselves as
bound to III tas' those only are ex-
empt from fas rs (;hough not from
abstinence) who are under the age of
q, and such persons as are sick, in
firm, conyalescent or otherwise of a
delicate constitution and whose
strength is impaired by old age, nurs-
ing, or by hard labor. Such as are
seriously sick are also exempt from
abstinence. Those who entertain any
reasonable doubt about their obliga-
ton to fast Or abstain, ought to have
recourse to their respective pastors for
advice Or dispensation."

Points in load Construction,

The nature of the traffic which is 70 so
over q highway is an important clement
i'll determining both the width and char
acter Of tie construction. The main
point to be ascertained is the number.
weight and width of the carriages Of all
kinds which are to traverse the way. If
the traffic is likely to be large, the road
will need greater width and more
strength near its margins than where it
is to serve the need of but few vehicles.
The solitary driver may be trusted to
take the middle of the way, horses in
deed incline to do SO Of their own mo-
ton; thus the marginal wearing of the
road will be limited to those points
where vehicles pass each other, and the
whole amount OF such wearing will be
inconsiderable. Where, however, the
carriages are numerous they often drive
in parallel lines, the outer wheel of each
column on the margin Of the roadbed.-

The best thing that the Wisconsin
legislature can do is to pass wise
and stringent measure for the proven
ton of corrupt practices in elections.
The Madison Times thus strongly
urges the passage of the bill recently
introduced by Senator Brown:
The results of the past two elections
conducted under a system by wichh
the shameful venality Of previous
years had largely been reduced. were a
startling revelation of what an honest
ballot can do. The corrupt prac-
tices" bill, now awaiting the action of
the legislature, is still further pre-
caution against bribery, that greatest
menace of democratic institutions.
The bill in question has been care
fully prepared and considered by men
of judgment and experience, both in
law and in politics. 1t is wisely
adapted form of the law which has
met with tlattering success in Massa-
chusetts for several years past. In
that state it has been awarded the
hearty approval of upright men of all
parties, and none arc so rash as to
dare suggest its repeal. Governor
Russell in personal letter dated JAN
uary 9, 1898, says that in his iudg-
ment lit has been benefit to the
state and to the cause of pure polit-
ics.' He recommended in his inaugu-
raj message this winter that its scope
be still further extended, and that re-
commentator is likely to be acted on.
This legislation originated in En-
gland, and has accomplished wonders
there. Parliamentary elections were a
