1t is gratifying to see that public opin-
ion has been potent enough to force AL
German Peters to put out some sort of
an explanation of the rule prohibiting
the employment of common laborers for
more than one month at time. The
original intention doubtless was to push
it throughsand keep mum, SO this ex-
PLANTATION is a good omen. When
this rule was first offered in answer to
direct question from Alderman
Thompson Mr.. Peters did condo
scead brief explanation, but it was
very brief. He wanted the rule to keep
labor out of politics. According to his
more elaborate effort in the Sunday Tel
egram of yesterday, the rule is proposed
in the interest of charity. He wants to
give all the laboring men chance. When
Mr.. Petels made Mol of his code of rules
this idea of giving all the laboring men
chance had not apparently occurred to
him, for in that rule it is provided that
"when the applicants for work as COM
mon laborers are in the opinion of the
committee Of public works. sufficient to
NJ eet all possible demands for period
of six months or more registration of
the t2lass for which the supply is suf1i-
Gent shall cease" As laborer doesn' t
have any chance whatever unless he is
registered by this rule some laborers are
Disseminated against Those that don't

adopting the first rule was that it was

The Value of Good Roads.
Harper's Weekly.

Colonel Francis Vinton Greene has re.
Gently delivered an address on the subject
of good roads in the Butterffeld practical
course at Union college. In he course OF
his remarks he showed that while Masschu-
sets annually eApends S66 mile on roads
outside of cities, New Jersey, S43 and New
York $50, the average expenditure in the
other states is much less. 1t is only $iS a
mile, this means total annual expenditure
throughout the country OF SO, 900, 900. and
much the larger part of this vast sum is lit
orally thrown away on roads that are moi
only the cause of ve1ation and discomfort
to those who drive over them. but that en-
tail actual loss upon those who are CON-
peIled to carry their goods over them to the
market or to the railway stations.
The enormous drain made ny bad roads on
our resources was estimated by Colonel
Greene. and his fl ures will not be doubted
by any one who has paid any attention to
the subject. He said: at has been proved.
not only By NEE hanical experiment. but by
actual test. that the same force which draws
one ton on muddy earth load will draw
four tons on hard Macadam road On the
improved roads of New Jersey loads of four
to five tons are habitually drawn by two
three-fourths of the cost OF hauling to the
station, and reduces the cost of road trans
portation from 80 cents to ~ cents per ton
per mile. What this saving amounts TO may
be imagined when it is known that the New
York Central railroad carries nearly
20,000.00G tons of way freight in a year. If
this is hauled only two miles by road. to OF
from the station. and a saving of 22 L. cents
per ton per mile could he effected. 1t would
mean a total saving of S99,0O0,000."
In other words, the question of roads in
many of our agricultural communities is
question of farming at loss or at a profit.
And there is not community or town in
the thickly settled parts of the country that
cannot provide itself with thoroughly good
highways by anticipating its road taxes for
fifteen or twenty years. Money borrowed
on fifteen OF twenty years bonds, 10 be paid
off from tho annual road taxes. would be
sufficient for The work in each locality.
while the expenditure would involve little.
if any, increased taxation. The plan that
is here suggested has been tried in town
near New York and it is notice able that
every good piece of road that has been con-
structed in these communities increases the
sentiment in favor of spending money in
this way.

AS a rule, the study of logic is not popular
with young men of this generation. We
take one cause of this to be that there
are too many books and too much loose
general reading. A man with craving
for knowledge will devour anything that
comes in his way, but, if he have wide
choice and extensive libraries to BILE
through, he is likely to choose pleasant
paths to acquisition, of which, to most
minds logic is not one.r

Some of the Democratic papers in the
West are declaring that the Democrats
have always opposed an income tax
and that the Supreme court has decided
that they have been doing right. 1t is
surprising how easy it is to forget the
complexion of the last Congress. People
with memories remember that the last
Congress was Democratic in both branch
es. That would seem to show that the
income tax could not be passed without
Democratic support.

the going one, although probably more
hygienioally. The effect of education and
development is not to destroy the sense OF
beauty and fitness, but to give truer per-
ception and appreciation of them. There
are girls and women who attempt to take
a short cut to intellectually by straining
the hair back from the face very tight

are out Of date, and heroically eschewing

q greater influence on the mind OF the
wearer than is generally understood. The
consciousness of becoming gown and an
attractive appearance raises the spirits,
lessons awkwardness and gives a degree
Of self confidence to even the timid. IL Is
as great mistake TO underestimate the
power of dress as to overestimato IL.

The Mysterious vibratory Force Is Almost
Ready For Use.


A correspondent writes as follows to
the Now York Snn: I have boon ident.-
fed with the work OF Mr.. Kcely for over
IL years and have visited him In his lab
oratory perhaps 30 times dnd have seen
the progress OF his work up to this time.
He has now completed his vibratory cir
cult of forco and will soon show the won
dorful 250 horsepower commercial engine
now completed and which is now being
set up in his shop.
The late celebrated Professor Leidy,
member OF the National Academy of Sci
ences and president of the Philadelphia
Academy OF Natural Sciences, Informed
mo that "Mr. Koelys discoveries would
astound the scientific world, and the great
worth Of them could not be estimated
Mr.. Kcely claims that the all important
connection has bcon completed, ~iSh tho
result that he has gained command Of an
accumulation Of costless force drawn from
the atmosphere, or, as no expresses IL, "a
sympathetic force of outroach represent

discovered, IL we know how 60 utilize

currents for conymercinl use.
These polar currents form tho founda-

old Franklin Lyceum.
1t is a remarkable list. Such another
could not be shown by any other organ
ization that ever existed in the State, we
guess. 1t was glorious institution, was
the old Franklin Lyceum. We wish 1t
might be re-established that our young
men of today, our future jurists, states
men and good speakers, and public
officials and all that, might have the
opportunities that the Lyceum offered
to so many that today are
realizing on the work put in in Lyceum
Hall. We delight to recall the famous
old club and the names it helped to
make familiar on this day when one OF
its most prominent members is to attain
to public honors and to receive the re-
cognition of the ability to think and study
and express himself in public, the public
recognition of the talents, the
public spirit, to the development
of which the old Lyceum contributed
so large a share. There was no non
sense about the old Lyceum. 1t was a
rigorous training school, and the results
of its discipline and of the incentive
it furnished to mental activity have been
of inestimable value to its members
and to the community.
