The Augusta Roads.
Staasnt0n Tsndscator !:

Editor StGNmt0n indicator:
1t is pleasing to note the progress the idea
of road improvement is making among the
people. Only few years ago, when the
roads were impossible and all farm work
practically suspended, the farmers took adj
vantage of their leisure moments and discuss
ed with much earnestness the condition Of
the highways, and suggested plans for their
betterment. But as soon as the rainy season
passed and the roads dried off, they returned
to their farm work and left the roads as they
had been. Now, however, they talk about
the roads and hold conventions to devise
ways and means for their improvement. when
the roads are as good as they ever are. and
during the busy season of the year. This is a
step in advance, and is a hopeful sign They
have not, however. reached the point where
they will agree to have the rate of taxation
increased for this purpose; and SO long as
this is the case, little will be done toward the
actual improvement of the roads. Good
plans are not tly and are numerous enough
but the IN oney to do the work with is the
need.
Augusta county Is doing some good work in
this line with the limited means in her hands

The Democratic party of the Union IS
without doubt at present travelling III a
most uncomfortable desert, and IS much
troubled with thirst. We also hear the
glad cry Of ex-Speaker Crisp, Senator MOI
gan. Senator Harris, Senator Pugh, the
ssSilyer Democrats of Tennessee, the
American Silver Association, and others,
that sparkling spring is in sight-the
Free Silver Spring. Alas on looking into
it we find that it is Free Silver mirage.
The fate of Mr.. Bryan in Nebraska, the
result of the elections in the West, and
even in Kentucky in the East, Ought 10
convince us of that. And if we go into par
ticulars we have only to take the case CT the
Hon. Edward Lane Of Illinois, last month,
to convince us that free silver as far as
the West is concerned. is a deceptive
mirage. MI, Lane, who was quite proml-
nent when liz congress for his free silver
views was nominated by the Democrats to
fill vacancy. The district is Democrat
ic by 1000 majority. MI. Lane was de-
feated November 5th by 5000 majority.
Nothing could be more deceptive than
the idea that seems to have taken hold on
some Democrats, that the thing to win III
1896 is to adopt 16 to l free silver plat
form at our National convention. They
seem to view it in the light of "fresh

stage accessories, that will carry 1.-THE PEG,

plan is that it is not new. Free silver has
been before the people of this country fol
the last three OIL four years. The people
are used to it. The lights are dim and

and rent by thousand arguments. the
accessories are worn and stale. All have

Populist dramatic companyhas been affllct'

Other-and with worn and worked out

DISCOVERIES IN FINANCE.

The question of finance is admitted to be
very intricate one and one not easily I'M
derstood. But that it can he greatly sim
plifed by system OF discoveries, y is
shown by the following letter from Rich
mond published in the Baltimore Sun:
The committee of the board of visitors [of
the University Of Virginia. which called
upon the Governor, point out the fact that
there are two funds which may be used by the
Legislature for rebuilding the university.
There are 1897 900 in Century bonds in the
second auditors office, bought by the States
order under the act of 1894, and 1927 746 accu-
mulated dividends on the States stock in the
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Rail-
road, now in the State treasury. 1t is thought
that the latter fund is most likely to be used,
if either is.
The Virginia ship Of State, as is well
known, is running its financial matters
very close to the wind. 1t just about pays
its fixed annual charges at the end Of the
fiscal year-that is its running expenses,
its interest On the debt, and annual addi-
ton to the sinking fund. The proposition
1lctU OuU VI tuC VI utlC ototC q luI IS
sum can be fused" for rebuilding the burn
ed University buildings without diminish
ing its resources and creating financial
rocks ahead, is the most remarkable one we
have yet seen made to a legislature. 1t is
so remarkable that we believe the indiyid-
ual delegates who yield to it will be retired
to private life, and that the legislature, as
a body, that performs such a feat WILL at
the next election. have to make way for one
of different financial views and, possibly,
different political views.
Senator Echols Of Augusta county, in
Washington, Tuesday. in reply to interro-
cations from the correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, said that the comil g
legislature lean be relied upon to do al!
that our circumstances will possibly per.
mit'' for the University. but: "a DISPOSE
ton has been frequently shown in the Leg.
islaturc contrary to the making of very
large appropriations for this purpose. many
of the members, especially those from the
rural districts, holding that greater
necessity existed for the expenditure of al
we could spare upon the public schools OF
the State.''

WHAT rs 70 BE DONE YET.

The energetic and humane ladies Of the
Kings Daugh tiers have this week purchas-
ed large building for a Hospital, on
Frederick street, and expect to open it in
a month. Of course they must have help.
In Charlottesville, the Piedmont Hospital
receives from the city its building,
its fuel and lights, and 5000 a
year in addition. 1t also receives
$50 year from the county supervisors
for receiving cases from the county. It is
run by charitable ladies just as the Staun-
ton Hospital will be. 1t is most earnestly
to be hoped that the city and county au-
thoritiss of Staunton and Augusta will
initiate those of Charlottesville and Able
