DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN
THE SENATE.

The election Of w. N. Roach,
Democrat, to the United State Sem
ate by the North Dakota legislature
was in the nature Of a surprise to
the country, "a it was known that
the Republicans had . majority
over the Democrats and Populists
combined. but owing to . combine
ton hetwesn a number of disgruEt-
led Republicans who were bitterly
opposed to Lyman Casey. the pres
ent United States senator and
candidate for reelection, and the
Democrats and Populists, Roach
was elected, and he will take seat
on March 4th. The idea of getting
. senator from there never entered
the heads Of the Democrats. cODse-
quently Roach is regarded as a.
brand plucked from the burning.
His election gives the Democrats
in the Senate . clear majority over
Republicans and Populists, and it
does not matter now II . Democrat
is lost - the result of the |

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD
ROADS.

A country without good roads will
remain undeveloped, its hidden
treasures stored away.
Where poor roads prevail every
thing else is apt to be poor, the
horse, farmer and merchant.
II 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 of three
be made per hour, the aggregate
saving would double the net income
Of the average farmer. This desider-
atulh can only be accomplished by
the means Of good public roads.
The effect Of good public roads
upon land value is 70 increase the
value Of such land.
Experience has shown that 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.
INSTRUMENTATION is the back
bone of business. Good public
roads are the primary necessities Of
life and national prosperity.

WILL THE BOUNTY SrAND?-A
prominent sugar planter writes us
~ hope, as stated in the last Issue
of the Sugar Bowl, the bounty will
remain but l fear you are greatly

peatedly expressed himself rs most
emphatically opposed to it, and
there are good grounds for fears
that he will have . following with
strength enough to paralize, II not
ruin. the industry"
Yes, We grant you that Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to the bounty
system-so is almost every sugar
planter in the South; but, while op-
posed tn it on principle, they are
in favor Of . just protection to
every agricultural interest. The
Democratic principle is to impose a
duty, sufficient to answer the pur-
poses Of the Government, and At
the same time foster the industry
to that extent; but As the duty has
been taken of sugar, and, under
reciprocity treaties, it can
not we'll be put back. there is not
much doubt about the policy tina.
our Democratic friends will pursue
in Congress. They will either let
the bounty alone, or put back the
