A few months ago the Demo.
cratic state committee took rather
peculiar action on resolution re-
garding the national administra-
ton, and later Mr.. Cutcheon was
an approving member of little
party in which Watterson of
Louisville and Pat Kelly said
some rather severe things about
Cleveland. This week Cutcheon,
chairman Of the state committee,
was in Washington to assist in
naming federal oficeholders, and
Secretary Carlisle called him down
sharply for his conduct toward
Cleveland. It is thought Mike
Doran put up the job on Cutcheon,
and the latter left on the next
train for St. Paul. Mike is still at
Washington.

The Democratic committee that
is considering the Wilson bill in
the senate has decided in favor of
protective duties on iron ore, coal,
lead ore and sugar, and made an
increase on many articles over the
provisions of the Wilson bill as it
came from the house. The party
has abandoned it's position that
protection is unconstitutional, and
the longer the bill is considered by
congressman and senators the less
Of a free trade measure it be-
comes. The great Republican
gains in all elections held during
the past year are having an effect

Road Improvement In New jersey.

Road Improvement In New Jersey.
The New Jersey system of state aid
in roadbuilding looks to the gradual
construction of a system Of free lnacad-
amized roads. The advantage of such
roads is no longer a matter of debate.
The enormous tax upon agriculture Of
system Of wretched mud roads is pretty
generally understood. It is impossib BILE
to convert all the mud roads into firm,
dry turnpikes at once. No community's
resources would be equal to that. The
work must be done gradually, if done
at the public expense, and that the pub
lie should pay for it and keep the roads
free is becoming popular idea. The
tollgate has become obnoxious. It is
not as heavy burden on the farmer as
the mud road, but it is heavier than
would be the tax necessary to pay for
doing the work at public expense.--Ex-
