IL IL not too late for us to add 10 what
we have heretofore said on the subject
of the platform adopted a few days ago
by the Democrats OF Massachusetts, that
that platform was probably intended 70
foreshadow some of the features which
are expected to appear In the hauohA'
Democratic platform OF next year. the
Bay State Democracy have said too much
to please most people. but just enough ana
not too much to please the gold-bugs OF
the Empire state. Inc New YORK jour
nal of Commerce the organ OF Wall street.
according to some persons. and OF the
most intelligent of the bankers and other
rnanciers OF that great city, according
TO other persons. takes up at once Win
the massachusetts, platform, ana coi"-
ments upon It as follows;
The Massachusetts, Democrats hase
made an important contribution 10 tne
cause OF sound money by their cahuiu
declaration I'm favor OF the gold standard
They do not mince their WORDS they ~
not palter I'm a double sense. nor 40 'hey
suggest impracticabie ana usc'os'
schemes OF bimetallism; they not ohiy
object frankly to the free coinage Vi
silver. but they object to any iurthef
purchase OF silver by the government,
and they are not afraid 10 say that they
are in faeor OF the present monetary
standard. which is, and long has been.
gold"
To the Democrats OF d good many
states this will appear to be an ultra
monometallist platform: and 1t VIII sur
prisc them to be told that the national
Democracy are expected to adopt any
such platform. We ought to add that
when the Democrats OF Massachusetts
speak OF the present single gold standard
they 90 not mean TO say that there Is
any law making gold the sole standard
OF values. but merely that gold has be-
come the single standard OF values under
the operation Of natural law.
The lesson we would teach in quoting
this Massachusetts, platform is that the
Democrats of the whole country ought to
be willing to adopt a compromise which
shall be neither a goldbug measure nor
a free-sllver one. Such compromise Is
the only proposition now before the peo-
pie which both sides could be expected
to endorse; and that proposition Is in
ternatlonal free coinage at ratio TO
be agreed upon by the several govern
ments OF the earth. An international
agreement OF this sort might be con-
sstently supported by both monometal-
lists and bimetalists. Why not have an
international conference as soon as posi-
BILE to give to the world. first. free coin
age, and next, a universal currency?

Tho Good-R0nds Scheme.

The recommendations Of the Good Roads
Convention, held in this city yesterday
and the day before. afford the basis
for intelligent legislation upon this sub
ject.
The convention, while praying for laws
to authorize the employment OF convicted
prisoners in labor on public roads. recog-
nized the imposslbilty Of greatly improv-
,ng our road system without the expendi-
ture OF money or OF raising this money
without an increase OF taxation.
The system that II will urge upon the
Legislature contemplates a special State
and county road-tax and special assess
ments upon dis inctly benefited sections
Of country. But these assessments
mot to exceed one tenth Of the costs in
curred) would not be made upon any dis
tricts that had not peti Toned for these
road improvements. Furthermore. the
Legislature IS to be asked to establish
the Office OF State Commissioner Of High
ways. and charge that officer with the
distribution of the State fund, and. with
general help. to the cause of road i'm
provement
Under this plan any neighborhood de-
string better roads would petition there
for. and the county would have them
made. and would levy the assessments
20 that they would run over series Of
years. and would bear lightly upon the
taxpayers. one fourth of the cost the
State would pay.
For the details Of the proposed system
we refer the reader to the report of the
proceedings Of the convention. which APP
pears in this issue. What the conven'
ton proposes in short. is that the state.
the county, and the landowners who are
to be specially benefited shall unite 10
make new roads or to improve old ones.
II will be observed that a considerable
norton Of the fund raised on State &C
count to be spent on county roads would
come from the cities and towns. We
take II that these would cheerfully bear
a fair share OF taxation. actuated by the
belief that whatever tends TO make our
agricultural districts prosperous must
fnure In part 10 the development OF oui
urban communities. Another thing: This
feature assures our country friends thai
all OF the talk in the cities about "gooc
roads" is not mere buncombe. But. after
all. such laws as the convention proposes
can only be enacted with the hearty ap
proval OF the country people. III these
are .In dead earnest In wishing better
roads, and feel that they can afford u
spend more money than they are nov
spending for this purpose. the Legislature
will promptly yield to their wishes; but
without the support OF the country pres
and the other leaders Of country senti
ment. the scheme can have no prospec
OF success.
The convention foresaw some Of tn
difficulties that would have to be met
for instance from counties that alread!
have good roads and good road systems
but It no doubt hoped that these obstacle
could be removed. At any rate. the con
yention has made fair start. 1t point
out a way by which we may improv
our roads. 1t may not be perfect way
Il Is open 10 amendment-but IL Will a
least afford basis for intelligent dis
cussion OF the subject.

Professor Salisbury, OF the University
OF Chicago, contributes TO Science an ar
ticle In which he sums up the results OF
peary's Arctic work. This summary ought

those who argue so persistently against
polar exploration on the ground that II
IL foolhardy and bare OF practical Pc
suits.
Professor Salisbury shows that during
his several Arctic expedi ions Lieutenant
Peary did most valuable work In carto-
graphy. ethnology. and meterology. and
has thereby been enabled TO contribute
vastly TO the worlds knowledge OF these
fields.
Furthermore. says Professor Salisbury,
Peary has Indirectly caused five expedi-
lions TO be made into the northern wa
tiers, which have not been without I'M
portant results. These expeditions have
not only proved that Arctic navigation
under proper management Is not so ha-
zardous as had been supposed. but,
through those who accompanied the ex-
petitions much information has
been secured touching the ma.
tural history. the geography, and the
geology OF the region visited. Professor
Salisbury contends. and very properly
that. In estimating the value Of Peary's
work, we should give him some credi

which he was responsible. The unpre

The Third -Term "UuG hc0r.V

We think the Virginia statesman whose
prediction we gave yesterday was
wide Of the mark in his forecast MT
cleveland will not be the nominee or the
next Democratic National Convention.
Not because he Is Mr.. Cleveland, but be-
cause the people have an invincible OBJ
lection to electing any man to the presi-
dency for third time. The feellng
ON this subject is not "bugbear,' but
is owing to the fact that third term
means any number Of terms. The people
have been trained to regard Washing
on's example as the unwritten law OF
the land, and law that must not be
violated. The defeat Of General Grant
when he sought nomination for third
term was a strong illustration Of how the
oeople stood on that question; for Grant $
name did not come before the whole peo-
nle OF he whole United States. He was
defeated in his own party of nomination
for a third term. Much larger woS
have been the majority against him II
he had come before all the people.

Count TOlstOi

who is in closer sympathy with
humanity, it's needs, and its sui
ferings than any man who Is
alive to-day, says:
$50 through a crowd Of people,
preferably city people, examine their
tired, anxious, wasted faces; re-
member your life and the lives OF
those whom you have known init
mately; recall the many sad cases OF
sickness and sorrow of which you
have heard, and ask yourself the
reason of all this suffering and
despair. And you will see, however
strange it may appear, that the
cause of nine tenths of human
misery is some chronic weakness
or disease, that this suffering IS
useless, that it could be avoided,
and that the majority of people
whose lives are darkened by I'll
health might be strong, vigorous,
and happy"
Coupled with the words OF
this grand man is the great
truth that four fiiths of all di-
seases arise from kidney, liver,
or bladder complaints. Can you
not readily see, then, why that
magnificent remedy, Warmers
Safe Cure, is so popular? 1t is
because it prevents these trou
bles or cures them if taken II
time. If you doubt this ask any
educated, well-iniormed doctor
druggist, or professional man.

that Mr.. Websters great constitutional

against him. He says
"When the Constitution was adopted
