The DEATH of Rutherford B. Hayes
was sudden and unlocked for, yet it
will cause no shock, for Mr.. Hayes had
already passed out of public life anC
almost out of public remembrance.
He was the only surviving eX-President
of the United States, with the exeep-
ton of Mr. Cleveland, who had beeu
recalled to office; but he recognized,
when he had served his term, that his
official career was ended. And this was
not from any fault of his. While not
a great man, he was clean, honest, pa
triotic and capable; he surrounded
himself with able men and strove to
make his administration honorable.
Had he been freely and fairly elected,
there is every probability that he woulu
have succeeded and be might haYe
earned an illustrious place in our his
tory. But the stamp of fraud was upon
him. Though the country acquiesced
In the robbery of the electoral vote
from Tilden, it never really accepted
the result. Mr.. Hayes himself was in.
nocent of the fraud and accepted the
office only when it was thrust upon
him; but the sin was visited upon his
head, and when another President had
been lawfully elected he returned to
the obscurity from which he had been
drawn. Here he lived a quiet, dignified
life, taking modest part in various
patriotic and charitable works and fill
ing the measure ofhis duty as a citizen
without ostentation and always with
honor, which will follow him in the
kindly repose of the grRye.-Philadel,
phia Times.

There must be an entire reversal of
the present method of building roads
INDUCED in by the intelligent granger
aud the "eXpert" % road commissioner,
before we can hope TO have better
roads. The present method is to scrape
lot of dirt together and heap it in the
centre of the road, we must reverse
this method and dig out a strip Of dirt
from the road bed as a beginning and
as a preparation for O good, permanent
foundation. This simple proposition
may be a difficult one to accept by
many, but one might as we'll try and
build a house on quicksand as try tc
build good permanent roads on a mud
foundation
