Road Improvement.

Progressive Farmer, Mt. Vernon, III.
There Is now a general agitation
of the subject of improving the pub
lie roads. The subject is important
and the agitation is timely, but we
have always noticed that when any
question has suddenly sprung into
general prominence there is always
some motive power behind it other
than the general interest connected
with the subject itself. We shall be
very much surprised if it do not
prove to be so in this case. When a
chip commences to move without
any visible propelling power you
may be pretty sure there is a bug
under it.
What sort of a bug is under this
road improvement chip? The big
papers North, South, East and West
all at once conceived a great need
for better roads. This set the peo-
pie to talking about it, and then the
legislatures got to discussing it, and
SO a very general interest is being
stirred up.
We are glad of it. There are
few subjects of more Importance to
farmers, and yet the farmers are not
responsible for the agitation. Who
are? There are two classes. One
Of them is-the Bicycle Ma2auJac-
tmrers! One of the greatest OBJ
stacles to the sale of their products
is the bad country roads. Make
good, hard, smooth roads throughout
the country, and the demand for
bicycles will at once become one of
the most active demands of the day.
But road Improvement is an ex-
pensive thing, and the bicycle ma
kers do not propose to foot the bill.
This brings the other class upon the
scepe-the money lenders and specQ-
lators in bonds. Few subjects have
been preached recently that opens
up more inviting field for the issue
of bonds, and the accumulated boards
of millionaires, longing for new fields

such helpers in Christian work 1t is
not SO long ago when such a public DEM
onstration as this would have been I'M
welcome and severely criticised as an
unwarranted extension Of power to
Christian woInanhood. But every good
custom creates its necessity and useful
ness. There are peculiar features Of
Christian work which alone can be done
by this sex. We are gradually getting
to comprehend this. It is not withdraw
ing any special rights from the minister,
but supplementing all his efforts with
an influence which woman's way and
thought make SO essential nowadays.
The late Bishop Bedell Of the Episco-
pal church affirmed in 1878 ''that no one
thinks of questioning in these days the
rightness of woman's work" 1t has so
gradually grown into the work of the
church that it has come to stay, and or
carnations for the general welfare of
the community along the lines Of moral
and spiritual discipline must assign GER
tain aspects of their growth to woman's
overseeing. The Woman's auxiliary in
the diocese of Massachusetts is a promi-
nent instance of this, and other societies
pursuing the same course bespeak their
own usefulness in the wonderful aggress-
i've work they are capable of accom-
plishing. Look at the career of Miss

AGAINST Grinding.

John Strange Winter, the authoress,
has written to The Pail Mall Gazette
the following letter:
There is little doubt that the I'M
slightly and dangerous crinoline is rapid
ly coming into fashion in spite of the
horror with which women of all classes
In the United Kingdom regard it. 1t is
hard enough that women should not
have the making of fashions and the
power to say what they will wear, but
it is a well known fact that these things
are ordered by small clique of men.
1t is, however, within the power of all
women to determine what they will not
wear, and for the furtherance Of this OBJ
ject I am forming a league which will,
if made sufficiently public, entirely put
down the adoption of the crinoline.
Withouta single exception every wom-
an to whom l have spoken on this sub
ject is strongly in'f favor of the movement
I suggest. May ask you to give space
in your columns for this letter, by which
means I feel sure that thousands of sem
sible women will be led to join the mo
Crinoline league?" Membership will in
volve no expense or trouble beyond that
Of sending me letter or postal card
the latter preferred-bearing the writer's
name and address and the following
promise: 81 hereby pledge myself to do
all in my power to prevent the wearing OF
crinolines" The cards or letters should
be addressed to 'John Strange Winter,
Spring House, Merton, S. W."

Col. Peek's Views.
From q recent letter

To apologize for anything that we
have done as an order is unmanly,
and a good sign of a want of courage.
/ know of but few mistakes made
by us, and the worst of all these was
in trusting our interest before Con-
gress to a few unfaithful representa-
tives, and for this have no apology
to make, for in the road to success it
is perfectly natural that SO, great a
cause as ours should meet with OBJ
stacles and disappointments. Yes,
in most teams there is "balky and
high kicking" horse, and it is neces-
sary to remove him before we get
there.
The very first declaration Of pur-
poses of the Alliance is political, H'to
educate the agricultural classes in
tho science of economical govern
ment," not to educate them how, to
increase the production Of wheat,
oats, corn, pumpkins, peas, potatoes
and cotton, for the trading masses
and exchanges of various kinds that
control our crops tell us we have
more of these than the world needs,
can consume or destroy before the
next crop comes in. To educate the
farmers in the political methods OF
the day, that he may see the corrup-
ton of such methods, and thus throw
off the letters of slavery fastened on
them, and to burst the bonds with
the power of the ballot, was the great
aim and object of the Farmers AL
lance. In my mind it was child
of necessity, born in due time, in
spired by the great Omnipotent, who
saw before we saw, and opened our
eyes to the unfairness of our condi-
ton. These facts are recorded in
Heaven and on earth, SO indehbly
that one or two campaigns will not
erase them; so plainly that our op-
ponent, though a fool, may read SO
glaringly as to blind the eyes of one
who would apologize for its coming
Men may write with straddling
pens and use all the sophistry of
Nicaragua canal lobbyist to deceive,
to appease, to gain favor or position
with those we fought and are fight
ing on the great issues of the day,
but the fact still remains that the Al
lance is the father of this great rev.
olution now going on in American
politics. Now, want to say to
these writer's, if they, expect for us
to succeed in getting our Alliance de-
mands enacted into laws, they must
stick to their text. No man who is
first on one side and then on the
other can WELD the influence of one
who is like Davy Crockett, ''frst
sure he is right then go ahead" If
we have ever been right we are
right now. The brothers will GER
tainly admit that we tried to get our
demands through parties in the
Flfty-first and especially the Fifty
second Congress. We voted for Al
lance Democrats in the South aud
for Alliance Republicans in the
North and West to get our demands
enacted into laws. We voted against
most of them for the Fifty-third
Congress because they did not try to
enact our demands into law. We
voted for the Peoples party because
the Alliance demands are the de-
mands of the Peoples party.

Women the world over may congratu
late themselves upon the last triumph
their sex has secured over the opposing
forces of tradition. For some time the
doors Of the universities of England
have been open to the members Of the
sex, but with restrictions. Women are
permitted to enter and avail themselves
of whatever opportunities for work the
colleges have to offer. So far they have
been on basis of equality with the men
students. Bat equality in the comforting
of college honors and degrees have been
more or less infringed upon, and conces-
sions which were freely given to one sex
were not allowed to the other.
That this innovation was not without
amusing incidents in its Inauguration
no one understanding the character of
the Scottish student will expect. Some
of the women were rather embarrassed
by the cheers which greeted their en-
trance into the classrooms. In the nat
ural philosophy classroom jocular in
dividual started the chorus Of "Clemen-
tine" and the refrain of 'Oh, my dar-
ling" beloved from 100 threats, greeted
the girl graduate VINO TOOK her place on
the reserved seats at the front of the
room. In another class the movement
of one Of the women who bent down to
ask information from a student near
was greeted with cries Of DO it again. I"
However, the conviction is growing
that the presence of women will have an
elevating influence on the men, and assoc
citation of men and women in the class.
rooms viii soon seem no more incongru-
Gus than the presence of women with
men in the pews Of church or lecture
hall. Already rs women students have
matriculated, and more are expected.
The most popular subjects of study are
natural philosophy and English litera-
ture. In all the classroons front benches
are reserved for the women, and special
reading and retiring rooms have been
provided for them.-New York AdVer-

to conquer, at once saw in the road
improvement agitation started by the
bicycle makers, a good pasture for
their grazing, and they jerked the
wires attached to the monopoly pa
pers, and "Good Roads" jumped into
their columns with spreading head
lines. The plan is to talk it up until
the people become interested in it,
wild about it, and then spring the
bond idea as a means of raising the
revenue. Mark our prediction if
this isn't the precise course it will
take.
Shall we, then, quit the agitation
and do without better roads? No,
but watch the bond business. When
ever that appears, put your foot right
square upon it, and SO fat that the
mud viii be mashed for half a mile
each way. Let's have no bonds.
How can we get the roads? Here
is a way: The government has a
right to issue notes, legal tender
greenbacks. The Supreme court
says it has in peace as well as war.
Let there be a road improvement
issue of full legal tender greenbacks,
set apart as fund for the improve
ment of public highways. Whenever
county or township lays out a
series of road improvements in &C
cordance with details and specifca-
tions to be furnished by the govern
ment, and will provide by taxation
or otherwise money sufficient to meet
half the expenditure, let proper au-
thorities with proper guarantees,
draw through the post Office depart
ment upon this fund for the remain
der. This is practicable, it is safe,
and it is just. A locality to be bene-
flied must first put up half the cost
before it can get this national aid,
and the aid will be in the reach of
any locality that is willing to do that.
We cannot go into details, nor is it
necessary. 1t will make the roads,
the people will get the work and the
pay for it, business will get the bene-
fit of the increased circulation, and
government viii not suffer in any
particular. A road thus built and
paid for will be just as serviceable
and just as durable as though it had
been paid for in gold or in some cor
poration's credit, and the laborer will
be just as well remunerated, for his
greenback will do for him everything
the impossible gold dollar could do
And there would be no usury bitter
ness in the mouth after it is done.
The government has just as much
power to issue greenbacks to pay
road makers as it has to pay the SOL
diers in the army.

Gresham and Clay.

st. Louis Republic.
The report that Judge Gresham
has been rendered the position of
Secretary of State in Mr.. Cleveland's
Cabinet seems to greatly disturb our
office holding friends of both parties.
Their wishes must be considered, of
course, though they are frequently
wrong in supposing that they repre-
sent anyone but themselves. The
fact that they set up a howl does not
mean that the people are displeased.
And in this particular case there is
no doubt of the strength Of Judge
Gresham with the masses in all par
ties The people have watched his
course on the bench for years and
have found him one of the few men
ready to sacrifice wealth and oppor-
tunities for preferment rather than
betray his trust and become tool Of
privileged classes instead of servant
of the people.
There are reasons, however, why
it would be inadvisable to appoint
Judge Gresham Secretary of State
under Mr.. Cleveland. He supported
Mr.. Cleveland, it is true, and the
politicians who say that he did it
merely because of his enmity to Har-
rison have against them the record
of his honorable career of loyalty to
the interests Of the people. But, on
the other hand, he declared in his
latest public utterance that he is still
Republican, and, under the circum-
stances, his appointment might be
but q repetition of the mistake made
by John Quincy Adams in appoint
ing Henry Clay Secretary of State.
The cry was at once raised that the
support of the Wing, Clay, was
bought for the Democrat, Adams,
by the place in the Cabinet. Jack
sons supporters tore their HAIR and
yelled 'sbargain and corruption" with
all their might, and as long as Clay
remained IN public life he was pur-
sued by this foolish charge that he
had sold himself for Office. Inherent
ly absurd as was the charge of bar
gain, it was just such lie as is apt
to stick the longest in politics. 1t
was believed by thousands, and there
is no doubt that General Jackson
believed in it more strongly than he
did in almost anything else.
Before that appointment was made
Thomas H. Benton called on Jeffer-
son and discussed it with him. 81
told it as my belief to Mr.. Jefferson"
he says in his Thirty Years View.
"On Christmas evening of the same
year 1824) I called on the illustrious
statesman at Monticello. And be-
lieving then that Mr.. Adams would
be elected, and that from the neces-
sites of the. case he would have to
make mixed Cabinet, [ expressed
that belief to Mr.. Jefferson, using
the term familiar to English history
of broad bottomed," and asked him
how it would do. He answered i:
Not at all; would never succeed !;
would ruin all engaged in it."
The event justified the prediction.
And no doubt the result would not
be essentially different now. It

It is not unusual now to see silver or
gold shoe buttons on the latest French
boots. These are not Of course put up
on walking boots, but On those for car
riage, reception, or house wear, when the
boot is of velvet, satin or brocade. Their
use is not uncomm on. In some Of the
French shops jeweled shoe buttons have
appeared, such as turquoise, amethyst,
garnets and rhinestones, set in silver or
gold. A novelty is the tips of silver or
gold filagree for evening slippers. They
are made so as to fit snugly, and one pair
will do for all the slippers one wishes to
wear. These tips are delicately made in
scrolls and other pretty designs, are light
and very open work, SO that the slipper
shines distinctly through them. Heels
also are to be seen which match the tips.

TUCKER, Ga, Feb. 10, 1898.
A large and enthusiastic crowd of
Alliancemen met in the academy at
this place to-day. The house was
called to order and J. r. Leavell
was made chairman. The chair
then stated the object of the meet
ing, which was for the purpose of or
ganizing a district Alliance, to be
composed of the ub,Allianees in the
district, to meet monthly, for the
purpose Of discussing such questions
of national legislation as shall be de-
cided on, and for a general diffusion
of knowledge among the agricultural
and laboring classes. Strong and
forcible speeches were made by P. b.
McCurdy and J. w. Singleton on
the demands of the Alliance.
A committee of three was APP
pointed by the chair to draft bylaws
to be reported at the next meeting.
The boys are full of enthusiasm,
and will keep our demands at the
front.

would certainly close Mr.. Gresham's
political career, and it would give
malcontents opportunity to express
as party champions the enmity they
have always felt for Mr., Cleveland.
On the whole, Judge Gresham
would better stay where he is. There
may be emergencies in which the
people will need him for greater SER
vices than he could possibly render
as Secretary of State.
