A DeplorabTe Condition.

The following from the st. Paul
Pioneer Press applies with equal
force to every state in the . MON:
1t seems incomprehenslble, now
that we look about US and realize
the condition of our highways every
wheresd1hata country as progressive
as this should have endured pa
tiently all these years the money
loss and the social isolation due to
impossible country roads. A great
deal OF the drift of population from
country to city, of the decline of
farm values and the increasing I'M
popularity of farming as an occupa-
ton noted in many parts of the
country with apprehension, is due
solely to the difficulty of getting
from place to place, to the exclusion
of the producer from his market
and the practical prohibition of
neighborly intercourse. In the
early days of settlement loneliness
was the expected and tolerable con-
ditlon of life on the frontier. AS
the social side of life develops peo-
pie refuse to endure it, and flee to
the companionship of the cities at
whatever cost.
There are no decent roads IN the
United States, except in few dis
tricts where the recent agitation for
road improvement had made some
Roadway. On the contrary, it may
probably be said with safety that
the common highways of this coun-
try are the worst IN the world. For
weeks and months past, for exam
pie, every farmhouse in the Mlssis-
sippi valley has been virtually a
prison. In some places In Iowa
towns have been as effectually cut
off from the outside world as dur
ing a great snow blockade and have
suffered all the inconvenience of q
fuel or food famine.
InNew England the situation is
just as bad. In the south 1t is
worse. For from three to six
months in the year the country dis
tricts are barred from the outside
world, except for foot travellers or
an occasional daring horseman.
During all this time the products
of the farm are unmarketable, the
necessaries which it requires cannot
be supplied, the desolation of lone
illness and stagnatlon settles down
upon the intellectual and social life,
farm animals and vehicles are use
less and have to be maintained at a
dead loss, and even the work Of
education is interrupted by the I'M
possibility of sending children to
school.
This is the country road at Its
worst state. But there are other
months when, though it may be
travelled, it requires two horses to
pull the load of one, consuming
even then double time, and there is
but comparatively short period
when the ordinary highway per-
forms the Office for which it was de-
stlned. The ensuing loss, direct
and indlfect, is simply incalculable.

ltanordS me great plea IRE TO testify 80 the
jealous fidelity, under the adverse ciTcum-
cumstances, with which they perform their
Rrduous duties. Notwithstanding the liberal
appropriations, in comparison with other
counties OF our state by our County Commits
sioners, we are unable to run our schools
more than four or i've months in year and
build four or fivs school houses. We have
during the past Tive years, built thirty live
there are still many more badly needed. a
new school building is badly needed in Oak
land. The old building is in a dilapidated
condition and much too small to acoommo-
date the three hundred pupils of the town.
We have been com oeled TO rent the rooms
outside of the school building. The rooms are
entirely unfit for the purpose, nOtwithstand-
ing we did the best we could under the cir
cumsiances.
Thanking you gentlemen of the Board for
valuable assistance and counsel in the dis
charge of my duties and for cOurtesies re-
ceived, and hoping that ways and means may
be devised whereby we may be able to run
our schools longer and erect the buildings so
very much needed, with the necessary furni-
ture and apparatus ESQ that Garrett county
may keep pace with sister states and counties

and training the rising generation, am

BUSINESS RESUMING.

Every day mills are resuming all
over the country, yet they are greatly
hampered by the scarcity of money.
Men whose promises few months
ago were regarded good as mortgage
on real estate, find it difficult to-day
to even get accommodation for small
sums. The distrust is caused by
constant agitation of financial and
tariff matters on every corner and in
local newspapers. The most agonizing
outcry comes from professional sore
heads, who don't want work and are
seeking some excuse tor loahng, and
from political editors, who are anxious
to continue the business depression
that their party may profit by it. By
looking in their news columns you
find their editorials refuted. They
ask the business men to advertise, yet
al the same time drive away business
by holding up in the face of their
readers prediction of dire calamity.
How many do they influence outside
their readers? Not one. Their effect
on tariff legislation amounts to nothing
The only result is to discourage business
among their Observation-Disclosures

1T WILL HAVE PLENTY COMPANY

We have reflected for some months
with amused interest upon the fact
that whereas a person more or less
intimately associated with this paper
was at Chicago in 1892 against Mr..
Cleveland (and was subsequently both.
denounced and ridiculed by the press
for his share in disappearing the
State" in the notable national conven-
ton of that Year, this has been one of
two or three of the State papers which
have stood right squarely by Mr..
Cleveland from the day he was nomi-
mated until now. 1t has felt constrained
to defend him from attacks made
upon him by papers which had loaned
at the mouth because the North Caro-
lima delegation at Chicago opposed
him but we should probably never
have made any reference to this ex-
traordinary shifting of positions except
for the fact that we sometimes have
fears that the Observer, too, will have
to wash its hands of the Sheriff. This
bond business has jolted it nightly.

THE DESPOILING BASTARD.

Home lies at the base of human
society. In its sacred precincts are
the nations resource and the nation S
hope. The present lies within its wall,
and over its threshold the future must
come. 1t is the well spring of virtue,
the nursery of purity, the cradle of
mankind.
Homo is primary government, and
woman rules as queen. When woman
has lost her crown of virtue she is de-
throned in her domain of purity.
The vile viper who winds his sinuous
way into the sacred kingdom and
steals from the casket of womanhood
the brightest jewel is too low for con-
domination.
Let death wipe him from the face OF
earth. Bury him SO deep that his
foul flesh will never mix with the soil
the sun warns. Sow his grave in salt
and let the burrows of everlasting OBJ
livion turn his memory into the filthy
dust from which he sprung.-Durhan
CI0bs.

WHILE there is objection to prize
fights in Florida, there appears to be
no law against editors fighting in
North Carolina. Only short while
ago Editors Roscower, of the Had
light, and Butler, of the CaHeasion,
pulled off" two fights in Goldsboro,
within a week, and had to be pulled
off OF each other by bystanders then
Greek Andrews, OF the NtWs- Observer
Chronicle, and Fred Merritt, of the
North CayoIinian, had bout in the
manly art of self-defence, and now
comes the intelligence that Editor
Robinson, of the Argns, and Editor
Roscower, of the Headlight, have met
again in Goldsboro and tested the
capacity of each other for standing
punishment. This thing of fighting
among the editorial brethren is getting
to be entirely too common, and the
contagion seems to be spreading.
