HoN. H. E. LACY has been consplcu- ously mentioned for mayor of this city. A better man for the place cannot be found. He would honor the office. He is heavily interested in its welfare and this fact alone, coupled with his well known ability and sterling integrity fully justifes the people in bringing hlm forward.

THERE is much talk of a fusion city ticket. This talk comes mostly from the democratic side of the house and has division of the offices in view rath- CT than the good of the city.

No mixture of democratic pTatlng IS necessary to get them to do their duty, and Ne do not propose they shall have any if we cen prevent it. When E. dem- ocratic landslide is on they want no fusion with the republicans and when a republican landslide is on the republl- cans should want none with them as 1t means a loss of half of their power and prestage. We advocated mixed ticket once but the democrats thought they could gobble the whole and tried 1t, but got left. This taught them les SOD and they have been crying for a "straddle" ever since. The republicans of this city are fully capable of mausg- ing its affsirs without any advice from would be office holding democrats, and they propose to do it. Let them nomi- nate suitable men and the future of the city can be safely entrusted to their keeping.

The majority receiving the proposals
did not reply at all, and but one man
accepted the proposition. This pro.
posal was far more liberal than
similar work was done on in this
vicinity when the people consider
the very liberal proposition of Mr..
Price on behalf of the board of
county commissioners they will, it is
likely accept. This plan seems to
be the OILY feasible plan to improve
the roads which most demand per-
manent improvement in the county
1t is the common sense way and also
the most economical way of securing
permanently built and reasonably
good rosds, and should be encourag
ed When the public become wide
awake to the plan it will grow il
favor. The most useful roads to the
public will be permantly made and
those Of minor consequence neglect
ed The greater number of roads
are mere local accommodation roads
which will not be improved by the
volunteer plan, and only the most
useful, which are the worst on &C.
count of the heavy teaming and con-
slant driving over them.
In order to have the work done
thoroughly and scientifically so the
very best results could he had for
the outlay they should he located nv
competent engineer and specifica
tions made giving directions how the
worst sections of the roads should be
built. The county commissions
could then give intelligent directions
for the work to he done on the bad
sections when improvements were
undertaken. No company Of farmers
can 90 to work "by guess and make
as good and permanent piece of work
as they could under scientific direc-
ton, no more than they could con-
struct piece Of machinery. build a
house or even a fence so well as skill
ed and practical workmen in these
lines
This volunteer plan assisted by
the public funds is not only econo-
mical but just to all parties. The
people who voluntarily contribute
work or money are the parties most
benefited nv the improved roads for
such improvements are in their i'm
mediate neighborhood and they use
the roads more than all the world
beside. Such permanent improve
ments are general benefit to the
tax payers Of the whole county. The
sections Of roads thus permanently
built cost but a fraction annually to
keep them in order where formerly
they were the most expensive. When
maturely considered the volunteer
plan Of road improvement will most
likely be the favorlte. The work
progresses gradually and the expense
is not perceptible; and it will shut
out the bond scheme which Shy lock
is concocting.
