COOL ROADS EDUCATION.
| A Specimen Mile In Every Township Might Have n Good Effect.

While there is room for honest differ ence of opinion as to the methods of road building, the greatest obstacle to improvement in this direction is tho stubborn and discouraging fact that good roads cost money. Farmers shy at increased taxes for road purposes and usually manage to defeat any effective legislation looking to n better road sys- tenn. A small road tax is levied every year, which may be paid in money or work at the option of tho taxpayer, and this is expended in repairing mere clay roadways which arc always just as bad after the fall and spring wet weather as before the repairs were made. The az gregate of money expended on the older highways of the country would have provided permanent roads long ago If wisely expended under competent direc- ton at any one time, but having been expended in annual driblets, with no intelligent foresight the money has been as good as thrown away.
 It is evident that the only two prac- tical forms of road agitation must be ill the direction of specimen sections of road in as many localities as possible and the education of the taxpayers to the economy of better roads. A speci- men mile of good road in every town- ship would result eventually in univer- sal good roads, for the specimen mile would prove convincing educator. Pennsylvania has for 75 years possessed 80 milo stretch of the best country road in the United States, extending along the west bank of the Delaware from Bushkill to a point opposite Port Jervis. N. Y, but this has failed as an educator in the science of good roads be- cause located in remote and thinly | populated section of the state. The con- struction of Q short section of such road in every township would long ago havo revolutionized the entire road system of the state.
 If the good road reformers will con- struct specimen good roads in the sec tions in which they reside, tho good roads revolution will be given an i'm I mediate and irresistible impetus It l:
 not more good roads agitation that ii
 needed, but more good roads

Ne SAYS tho Currency OF This Country
Lacks Elasticity!
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The gentlemen OF
,bs sun.e. Club sat down TO dinner last
night a. the Grand Pacific. Secretary
Pat introduced \. S. Lacey, ex.comp.
,roller Of the treasury, as chairman of
,hs after.dinner financial discussion.
In ,skinC the chair, Mr.. Lacey, who is
nov president OF the Bankers National
Bank outlined what he considered 10
b, the most needed OF reforms in the
financial system.
lie said that the currency OF this
country lacked elasticity, and drew u
comparison between the system in
vogue in Canada and that OF the United
States, with the comparison in favor OF
the Canadian system. In the Canadian
banks it was stated that there was the
power to issue notes at any time to
meet an emergency, these notes being
withdrawn when the necessity for their
existence had passed. Mr.. Lacey said
,hst in the panic OF 1868 the ability OF
Canadian banks to issue notes to meet
30 emergency enabled them to do much
10 relieve the stringency in the money
Market When these notes had served
their purpose they were returned and
passed out Of existence. "By empower
log banks to issue uotes," concluded Mr..
lacey, there will be an elasticity OF
currency that will prevent either re-
dundancy or stringency."

TREND OF TRADE.

Very Little Change in Current business.
Wages of Labor Do Not Advance.
New York, Dec. 7.-R G. Dun & Co. 3
weekly review OF trade, which issues to-
morrow, says:
It is difficult to detect any change in
current business Prospects for bust
ness after January arc quite generally
considered more hopeful. In some
branches there are larger orders, and
tho west bound shipments OF merchan.
disc are little larger, but the working
force naturally diminishes near the end
of the year and the holiday traffic
brings Just o temporary activity which
ia not OF much general Significance.
The meeting OF Congress, and the an
nouncement OF the new currency plan,
and OF various bills proposed have not
affected the situation perceptibly. On
tho whole agricultural implements arc
scarcely stronger and wages OF labor do
not advance, but there Is reason 10 eS-
meet tho employment oil n somewhat
larger working force after the holidays.
The receipts OF wheat a:e larger than
year ago, and the exports smaller, but
foreign accounts, particularly rs 10 the
Argentine crop, have helped an advance
OF Il cents.
Corn receipts are much larger than a
year ago, but prices are unchanged.
Tho iron industry seems TO have dis
tinclly brighter prospects at Chicago.
whore pig iron is frmer and bar in

ANTi.ANAnCHIsT BILL.
Mr.. Bontner Expects It's Final Passage Be-
fore the Holidays.


Mr.. Boutner Expects It's Final Passage Be-
fore the Holiday.
WAsHrHGTas, Dec. THE effort to
prevent anarchists from coming to the
United States will be resumed in the
house OF representatives next week, il
Mr.. Boatner, Of Louisiana, in charge OF
the measure, secures from Speaker
Crisp the time he expects.
This measure provoked an exciting
contest at the close OF last session, but
its final passage was put of by adjourn
ment. At that tune the government
had received official notification from
France that large number OF anarch-
lists driven outof Europe were enroute
to the United States. Secretaries
Gresham and Carlisle were specially
anxious to secure legislation in order to
cut of the influx of dangerous charac-
ters. Senator Hill pushed the anti
anarchist bill through the senate, but
it met opposition from Messrs. Warner,
of New York, Goldzier, OF Illinois, and
others in the house, and had to be
abandoned for the time being,
Mr.. Boatner will now take up the
contest where It was left Of, and is
hopeful OF securing the passage OF the
exclusion bill before the holidays. AS
il has already passed the senate, favor
able action by the house will conclude
the legislation.
Representative Warner, oil New York.
referring to the measure, says the ne.
cessity for it has evidently gone by.
,"There was no suggestion in Secretary
Carlisle's report" said Mr.. Warner, "as
to the need OF such bill There was
much ado at the last session oyer an-
archists about to land. aud 1t was de-
clared the country was in peril But
what has become OF these anarchists?
They must have been drowned en-
route. No one has heard Of them. It
is singular fact that the men who
urge this measure live in the interior,
far from points where anarchists might
be feared. The New York anarchists
would be most likely to arrive, do not
believe in the bill" ,
Mr.. Warmers objection to the bill last
session was that 1t did not defne an
archists, but gave government officials
dangerous authority to call any one
an anarchist and then deport him.
The anti-anarchist bill, as now before
the house, provides that no alien an-
archist shall hereafter be allowed to
land at any port Of the United States or
be admitted into the United States, but
this shall not be so construed as to APP
ply to any political refugees or political
offenders. At the hearing OF aliens
charged with being anarchists the board
OF special inquiry shall inquire OF tho
accused as to his antecedents, political
opinions, whether he belongs to any
society or association OF known anarch-
istic tendencies, and he might examine
tho person for marks indicative Of such
membership. He may accept evidence
OF the immigrants common reputation
as an anarchist On the fact being de.
termined that the immigrau. is an an
archist, the secretary OF the treasury ia
empowered to deport him back to the
country from which he came. 1t Is also
provided that the secretary is to ap-
point inspectors, to be stationed abroad,
to apprehend anarchists embarklng Tor
this country.

decision by the court OF appeals in the
case OF the state va. +. Vernon Aler,

legal profession with great deal OF in.

was passing over one OF Mr.. Evans

criminal assault and murder and
hanged him.
Aler also charged Mr.. Evans with con-
spring with other parties in this matter
TO spirit away witnesses in the case.
Mr.. Evans Immediately had Aler ar
rested for criminal libel, and after TO-
dious trial, in which many intricate
criminal questions were raised and ar
gued before Judge R. W. Daley, Aler
was convicted, severely leCtured and
fined $50 aud costs. Judge D. B. Lucas
and J. Nelson Wisner carried the case
up by writ OF error, assigning that the
indictment was bad, the evidence in.
sufficient and the pleading defective.
These questions were argued at some
length before the supreme court at
Charleston last summer by Judge Lucas
and Mr.. Wisner for Alsr and Attorney
General Riley and Prosecuting Attorney
U. S. G. Pitzer for the state. The court
sustained the indictment aud complete
