ridge in the middle They always intend
to do more, but by that time their road tax
is worked out The rain comes and turns
the plowed earth TO quagmire. The hot
sun comes cut to dry it and the road
warps in drying Then it's a beauty. The
dry weather comes and the oft plowed
earth becomes bed of dust.
Well, there is section OF just such n
road on exhibition in Jackson park and
near it are sections showing three styles
of model roads, the best Macadam, the
Telford and one other. But the cheapest
Of these costs s. Zoo mile and the best,
the Telford, g, coo, and that settles it with
the farmers vino gaze on the specimen
with admiration. You might as well sing
psalms TO a dead horse as to talk to the
people Of western state now, whether in
town or country, about spending 8. 600 a
mile for road. They cannot afford the
half OF it, nor yet the quarter of il except
on few main lines. The little building
in which the National League for Good
Roads has its headquarters is at the south
end Of the grounds, east of the windmill
exhibit, and there are men there who viii
talk SO ably on good roads as 20 make a
farmer feel, for the time being. THAI So,
600 mile would not be too much for such
blessing.
AL this brings me around By easy and
natural stages To evolution again and thc
Midway plaisance and the great society
event which is to come of there just
week from today aad which all who can
get there ought 20 see. for then and there
will DC the international ball and congress
OF nations and a grand parade Of 81 races
and colors. August II viii indeed be the
greatest day Of the fair on the plsisance
and possibly the greatest day OF any fair,
for 1t is not probable that 40 many indi-
viduels Of so many different races were
ever thus collected before. Forty Ave
races aud subdivisions Of races viii take
part and after the main show OF the day
there will be a rather private affair
rather, for the tickets even for spectators
are s. each AZ night. This VIII be the
ball and supper, wt1ere every nation and
race viii have its own accustomed food
prepared By its own cooks.
And this brings me back by quite logical
stages 10 the question with which / began,
viz. how dad all these fellows come sos
Everybody knows how different olasses
mutually improge each other, burglars
and lockrzakers fer instance. No snones
does the lock man invent lock which Il

For years Mr.. Cleveland, in season,
out of place and everywhere, forced
himself upon the attention Of the
American people with the hypocriticaI
can't that Republican protection was de-
stroying America. His first official
utterance, however, is 10 the effect that
it is silver and not protection which is
giving the goose that contains the golden
egg such big bellyache.

The Sherman ACT No5 Responsible.

The Sherman ACT No5 Responsible.
From the Springfield Democrat.
From 1S4S until 1868 the output Of
the gold mines of the United States
amounted to 81, 800, 900, 900. of which ST.
100, 900 was exported about as fass as
it was produced. There was no Sher
man law in operation then to drive gold
out of the country but it went all the
same. If this country should discard
silver entirely as a money metal it would
still be obliged to export large quantities
of gold whenever the requirements OF
international trade made that operation
necessary, hence it is both false and
absurd to claim that the Sherman law is
responsible for the export of single
ounce of gold from the United States,
either this year or any other year since
its enactment

The fact mentioned in our dispatches

which reach us from the same quarter.
When the silver dollar sells for pre-

may be said TO be below par.

Mr.. Clevelaud's message contains the
suggestion that America, after all, is
only a first-class nation in claim.
Growers idea of a first-class nation
is, doubtless, a first-class constitutional

Any currency not based on the English
pound and sanctioned by European
crowns is but Republican greenback

And now the circumstance that silver
dollars sold at premium over both gold

cited as another reason why the Sherman

From the Augusta GA Chronicle.
The average citizen is willing to &C.
cept the promise of the United States to
pay at 100 cents on the dollar whether
that promise be mace in gold, silver, or

through which the promises are made as

A New Deal Demanded,

From the Lawrence World.
In order to win in Kansas next year
it is necessary for the Republicans to
bring new men to the front. The ''Old
crowd is discredited and the alleged
young crowd" is an organized appetite
tor the spols. What Is wanted now Is
new men who are not identified with
any faction or concerned in any ring.
A ticket carefully made of such men,
and there are thousands in the state,
can WIN hands down. A ticket made OF
the sams old elements will lose by a
large majority.

The danger of civil war can hardly be
said to be imminent, but it reflects little
credit upon the peace and dignity of
Kansas that conditions conducive to such
warlike demonstrations should continue
to exist, and especially that the governor
OF the state should contribute the iutiu
ence of his position and authority to the
fermentation of disturbance.
If there is no better sentiment in Kan
sas to rally to the rescue of the common
wealth in this emergency, the case in
deed seems hopeless. If there is such a
sentiment it should lose no time in
making itself felt and heard.

ANOTHER KANSAS WAR CLOUD.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The trial of Colonel Hughes, of the
Kansas state militia, for alleged insubor-
dination in refusing to obey the orders of
Governor Leweiling last fall and dispense
the Republican members of the legisla-
ture at the point of the bayonet is fast
degenerating into farce, if it was ever
anything more, and de veIoping symptoms
of partisan fight.
The Popuiists seem to regard the Of
Tense of Colonel Hughes as fagrantly in
defenslbie. and thus far it looks as
though they Were determined that the
officer On trial should be accorded no
opportunity for defense. The cours is
evidently organized to convict. The
Ottawa Journal, edited by State Printer
Snow, reflects the average Populistlc
sentiment of the state in the following
editorial printed on Saturday:
The cold fact remains that the Republic
cans will respect the muzzle of Win
chester-nothing else-and Populists must
make up their minds that they must pro-
tect by force their victory at the ballot
box. The shedding of human blood is
melancholy business, but better ten-fold
better, that Topeka should be made
graveyard, that not one brick should be
left upon another, that the plower and
the sower should traverse its site, than the
Republican crime of last winter should be
Repeated.

Everybody knows by this time, for Of
course everybody who IS anybody has read
Darwin, Spencer, Haeclzel & Co., that
natural selection secures the sur
vival OF the Gttest 1t has also Sc
cured the survival of tho hghtist, and
I find a thousand evidences of it
in rambling through the exhibits of live
animals and fossils. And not only of the
hghtist but OF the runnist. And being
myself most inclined to the latter class /
am delighted at the conclusive evidence
find here that in the run of ages the rum
ners have stood better chance than the
fighters. The bones show it and the live
animals clinch the proof. The poet of
science has told Us,
''How q stag with a neck that was longer by
half

By stretching and stretching became giraffe,
Which nobody can deny"
Well, at this exposition you can trace
the whole process from the nomad to the
philosopher, from the palaeopteryx to the
condor, and from the wild Siberian crab
to golden hued apples SO luscious and
tempting that they make me feel Ikea boy
again-that Is, as If | wanted to grab
few and run. The fruit exhibition de-
monstrates the whole long history of the
apple and what is Of much more practical
Importance it proves that the alleged de-
clineof soils in various parts of the United
States, in their capacity to produce apples,
reached its worst dozen years ago and
that new varieties are now showing that
the old apple districts may be made bet
ter than they ever were. The greatest diff
ficulty seems to be in extending the
growth southwark. So far as the exhibit
shows the apple is not produced in the
far south any better than it was fifty
years ago, but the advance in peaches and
strawberries is truly wonderful.

starboard tack, easing her sheets and run
ming for the finish.
Following is the official time of the
turn: Vigilant, 2:03:35; Colonia, 2:06:30
The above figures show that the yigi-
liant gained one minute and thirty-six sec
ond on the Colonia il, the fifteen-mile beat
to windward.
After the boats had gybed around the
mark, they set their spinDakers in good
time. Tho yigilant had her boom low
cred and the sail broken out in one min
ute and thirty-five seconds, while the Col
onia did so IN one minute and twenty
seconds. This is decided Improvement
on the work done during the recent cruise
of the New York Yacht club, and speaks
we'll for the discipline on board both
yachts. The Colonia was the first to set
her balloon jib topmast doing so at 2:12:15,
followed by the Vigilant one minute
later.
In the run home it was easy to see that
the Colonia steadily crawled up to the
Vigilant, and would have passed her had
the distance been greater The wind
lghtened toward the finish, and when the
yachts were about three miles south of
Sandy Hook the wind shifted to the south
west, forcing them 10 take in spinnakers
and jib topsails and head up for the line.
The difference between the sloops at the
finish was minute 33 seconds, and it was
minutes 55 seconds at the outer mark. 1t
showed gain of l minute 90 seconds in
favor of fhe Colonia on the ruin before the
wind.
Looking Mt the race as whole, from
start to finish, there was difference of
minute and 10 seconds between the sloops
as they crossed the line and minute and
SO seconds when they finished. This was
clear gain for the Vigilant of IA seconds
over the entire course. Being the longer
boat, however, she had to allow her adj
versary 20 seconds, which, OF course, gave
the race to the Colonia, making her a
winner by seconds.
