FOR GOOD ROADS.
An Interesting Report from the Agri.
cultural Department.

The agricultural department is
about to issue elaborate information
on the subject of good roads" which
Congress has directed the depart.
ment to investigate. The publica-
ton will embrace the entire proceed
ings of the national road conference
held at Asbury park, n j., July 5th
and 9th last, at which conference ev-
cry shade Of opinion on improving
roads was presented Mr. Roy Stone,
the special agent and road engineer
of the department, will also include
a number of addresses on the road
question. He makes no report, so
that these addresses practically con
stitute report. Mr. Stone says
among other things:
The main question is how can a
people having 30 surplus capital
build good roads? For an ass~er,
we must go where they have done it
successfully and study the methods
adopted. First, We must study all
the economies possible in construc-
ton; second, we must find out all the
parties to be benefited aud see that
each bears his proper share of the
cost, whether or not he belongs To
the immediate locality or even to the
present generation of men; third. we
must look into local questions of
road materials and transportation,
and into all the latest improvements
in road implements and machinery.
But who is to do all this? And
that brings us TO the first practical
step in general road improvement,
namely that every state should have
a permanent commission composed
of citizens Of the highest character
to undertake this investigation and
recommend the necessary measures
to the legislature to watch the work
ings of these measures when adopt
ed, and to secure any possible inn
provement in them. The next step
is to make the best possible use of
convict labor in road building. Nv
own impression is that state prison
conviets will be best employed in the
preparation Of road materials in
quarry camps, or gravel pits, where
they can be guarded and secluded as
easily as in prisons. and that county
prisoners and tramps should do the
grading aud all other preparatory
work on the roads.
I'm regions where rock is plenty,
by using the best machinery for
crushing stone, and employing the
convicts only in quarrying and ma
cadamizing t, an amount of mater
ial could be produced sufficient to
macadamize all the roads in the state
as fast as they could be prepared,
and IN addition to furnish ballast
for railroads as a consideration for
their giving reduced rates on road
materials.

SHOULD HE y0TEl
Some Westerners Think the Ballot
would be Safe in the Hands OF
the Indians.

Ia some sections of the west there
is a great discussion of the matter
Of the relative merits of the Indian
and the negro regarded as a voter.
The claim is made that the civilized
Indian makes a capable citizen, and
this moves Senator Kyle to say the
following, which may be information
to many people of the east;
The Indian has within him the
capabilities upon which to base a
better manhood and citizenship de
spite the barbarous instincts attrib-
uted to him. With no incentive to
work and with encouragement to
vice and idleness ON every hand
there are to-day upon the reserva-
tions many excellent and worthy
Indian men and women. Though
md sphinxlike in demeanor, the
Indian has the FEELINGS aud af-
fections common to human beings.
With no educational advantages
they are men of remarkable sense,
often approaching high order of
ability. The old chief of the Sioux
nation, Spotted Tail, was striking
figure, whether taken physically or
intellectually. The late Mrs. Eliza
beth Winans, Sioux woman, dur.
ing life of Christian service for
her people was aciuated by pur-
pose as pure and noble as that shown
by any philanthropist of the coun
try.
Among the Indians are fine Fet
ural statesmen and orators equaled
by few educated white men. Under
education they have shown them
selves quick and ready learners, com
petiug easily with white pupils of
the same age. have observed them
at their studies and am convinced
that they are as capable as white
children Of grasping the ordinary
branch,s taught in the common
schools. 1t has been my pleasure to
hear addresses from full blooded In
dian college students which would
do credit to under graduates of Yale
or Harvard

CENTS LEGAL TENDER
In Amounts of Twenty Five or Under
They Will Go Anywhere.

There is one story so utterly ride
ulous that it seems incredible that
it should ever have been printed,
which in one form or another makes
the rounds of various newspapers of
the country annually. Look for it
and you will sooner or later see it
crop up again.
This tale is always based upon
the unpopularity of the one-eent
pieces in the extreme west and south
west. In its most common form it
tells of some eastern traveller who at
tempts to dispose Of hundred or so
one-eent pieces in San Francisco, FL
Paso or some other place. The trades
man is always represented as look
ing at them euriously and declining
them.
The writer's of these senseless
tales may have been in the west or
they may not. 1t matters little
their story is poinlless They seek
to brand the mythical tradesman as
Of the same category with themselves
The cent is a legal tender in
amounts of twenty five and less. If
an eastern man in San Francisco or
anywhere else owes debt of twenty
five cents, and tenders twenty-five
one.cent pieces in settlement, the
courts will sustain him.
OF course, the coins are not popu
lar in the extreme west and south,
but no one need carry one hundred
of them in a cigar box or anywhere
else as useless metal. II you are in
a city that has not United States
subtreasury go to the post office,
dump in twenty five cents and see if
you will have any difficulty in OBJ
tanning stamps or postal cards of
like amount If one is refused, a
letter of complaint to the postal au-
thorities will soon work the removal
of an employe who would discredit
United States money.
1t is well to bear this matter of
the legal tender of cent in mind,
No one for spite can make person
take more than twenty five of them
in any single transaction involving
the settlement of debt. One need
have no fear, then, of receiving one
hundred dollars in cents from some
embittered debtor.

More Mountain Fires.

Several mountain fires were start
ed Friday but were put out by the
rain last night before much damage
was done. A large scope of the
mountain side was burned over above
Fairchance. The fire started about
half way up the mountain and
spread almost in a circle. After il
grew dark that night it was plainly
visible from town and presented a
beautiful spectacle Another fire
burned over many acres in the vicin-
ity of Jumonville. Most of these
are started by chestnut hunters who
burn the leaves away to get the
chestnuts. The practice is per
nicious one and costs the residents
many dollars annually. Something
should be done to put stop to this
careless firing of the mountain for

A haunted house in these practical
and unromantic days is something of
a rarity, but an individual haunted
with the idea that his ailment is in
durable is parsonage frequently met
with. Disbelief in the ability of med
icine to cure is only a mild form of
monomania, although in some cases
repeated failures to obtain relief from
many different sources would almost
seem to justify the doubt. Hostetters
Stomach Bitters has demonstrated its
ability to overcome dyspepsia, consti-
patton, liver and kidney trouble, ma
larial complaints and nervousness, and
its recorded achievements in the Gu
rative line ought at least to warrant
its trial by any one troubled with
either of the above ailments, even al
though his previous efforts to obtain
remedial aid have been fruitless.
Used with persistence, the Bitters
will conquer the most obstinate cases.

ADLAI STATES HIS OPINION.
He Says the Democrats We're Made the
ScapegOats Of the Hard Times.

Adlai Stevenson, Vice President,
in the seclusion of the home of his
brother John at Bloomington, medi-
tating upon the political events of
Tuesday week, said
MY opinion can be briefly stated
The result is due in part to the finan-
cial depression, which came upon the
country soon after the Inauguration
of Mr.. Cleveland. While the Demo
Gratis were in no way responsible for
this, they were made the scapegoats.
1t was also in part due to the delay
of Congress in passing the tariff
bill Had the bill become a law 80
days earlier than it did, it is quite
probable that the business condi-
tions of the country would have so
adjusted themselves that the politi-
cal result would have been different

A Few Epigrams.

1t is level headed, sound minded
woman who wrote the following
paragraphs:
Women who dabbc in politics are
like chickens turned into hawks.
One can be smart only with smart
people.
To know temptation does not dis
honor.
Virtue seems hard only when you
flee from it; face it and you will see
it smile
Misfortune makes none proud: suf
ferings humiliate man or woman.
We are martyrs of our own faults
When a woman has given all she
has to a man she thinks she has Civ
en- him the world: the man thinks be
has obtained a pretty new toy.
The woman of the world is but sci
dom the wife of her husband.
A wife must have virtue enough
for two.

constitutes a pretext for pleasure
without love.

Some of them, will perhaps feel
that we have not been quite as prompt
in publishing their letters as we
should have been. We are sure that
if they knew all the reasons for the
delay they would not blame us. In
the heat of the campaign we have
been so crowded with matter that we
have had to leave out matter that we
were very anxious to print. BY the
way, we want to insinuate to some OF
our correspondents that mere visits
or calls among neighhors in the same
neighborhood are not news. Nobody
cares to hear of such things outside
Of that immediate neighborhood and
To most people in the neighborhood
they are mere tattle Visits from
people at a distance are news. Ii
anybody is sick, getting well from
sickness, has met with any accident

interest, we want to hear it and we
want to publish it. Now send in

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

were driving from the Morgantown
pike over the hills to their home, and
as they came to short turn in the
road they met a man riding rapidly

around and threw Mr.. and Mrs.

Mrs. Toothman struck on her shout

SENATOR FAULKsER's VIEWS.
He Gives His Reasons for the Landslide
Chief Croker Had Seid How
II MOuId BE,

Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee, was asked for an expires
sion of opinion on the result of the
election few days afterward by a
Washington reporter:
Il do not desire to 90 into a dis
eussien Of the causes leading to the
tidal wave which has placed the Re
publicans in power again in the
House." he remarked
"But | think it is proper to note
that these evidences of apparent
popular approval in the election of
so large majority of party to the
control of the House is not evidence
of change by the voter Of his polit-
ical principles.
THE history of politics will show"
continued the Senator, "that every
landslide is the result of dissatisfac-
ton, discomfort and want of conf
dence of the members of the majority
party, whose action produces the re-
suit that surprises and astonishes
the people-not by voting the oppo-
site ticket, but simply by remaining
from the polls. The results of this
election when aseertained will, | am
sure, verify this conclusion. We have
as many voters in the country as we
had in '92, who believe in the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party, but
the recent business paralysis, finan-
cial stringency, economic Legislation
the benefits of which have not been
developed-party dssentions, crimi-
nations and determinations have re
suited in such apathy as to cause the
stay at home vote to produce the sur
prising result of yesterday That is
my honest judgment. If we hope
for success in '96 we should main.
tain with fearlessness and determin.
alton the attitude we assumed in 90;
let personal and party chickering's Of
the past bury their dead and unite
in an earnest effort to harmonic
those differences which have so seri-
ously affected our organization.
"To what do you attribute the re-
suit in West Virginia?" inquired the
reporter.
"The same causes that have affect
ed and influenced the voters through
out the country, which | have al
ready enumerated to you" he replied.
"Of course, | am surprised beyond
measure at the immensely of the ava
lanche," continued the Senator

Richard Croker Sometime ago be
was present at meeting of the com
mittee in New York. He then de
clared that no matter how much we
fought or how well, that the Repub-
lieans would sweep the country; Hill
would be beaten, he asserted; New
York city would be lost, and the
whole country would go the same
way. | asked him how he, who said
he was out of politics, could find rea-
sons upon which to base such an
opinion.
