GOOD ROADS.

The Democratic convention of Massa-
chusetts which met Wednesday de-
clared in favor of good roads. The
Syracuse convention did the same
thing the other day.
This demand for good roads in party
platforms has unquestionably been
brought about by the great increase in
the number of bicycle riders. Nothing
is more charming than bicycling, but
to be thoroughly enjoyable roads must
be good. While this demand for good
roads has been brought about by the
bicyclists, yet good roads are of the
utmost Importance to all classes of the
community, and to no class more than
to the farmer and those living out of
the cities. The value of every farm
that has good roads on all sides of it
is greatly increased; while if the
farmer will sit down and compute the
amount of horse flesh, harness and
wagon timber that he will save in
year by reducing grades and friction
on the surface of the roads by having
them we'll made and kept in repair, he
will be astonished at the amount.
A thing that would largely conduce
to better roads would be the adoption
of wide tires on all vehicles except the
lightest carriages and buggies, and
even in the case of these wide tires
would be preferable. A two-inch tire
on a wagon bearing a load anywhere
in weight from one to three tons, is a
machine for spelling good roads and
making bad ones worse, while a four
inch tire on the same wagon would act
as roller, improving the surface and
not cutting it up. With such tires in
use the necessity for repairing the
roads would be less frequent and not
so expensive as now.
We hope the agitation for good roads
in our own territory will be taken up
by the bicyclists, who are large in
numbers and well organized, and if
they succeed in attaining their object
they will have brought about a public
benefit In their agitation we hope
they will not lose sight of the broad
tire element Let the era of good roads
be inaugurated.

THE DALLAS FIGHT.

For some months past the currency
question and the proposed prize fight
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons at
Dallas have occupied about equal por-
rfonS of public attention, with the
prize fight taking more and more of it
as the time for lit to take place neared.
Of late there has been a great deal of
talk about the intentions of Governor
CulberSon in the matter. 1t seemed
that he was almost willing to commit
an act of lawlessness himself TO pre-
vent the f1gt, while there was more or
less of the bombastic in the talk about
calling the Texas Rangers in to pre-
vent the mill AT last the Governor
hit upon the very sensible and very
proper expedient of calling the legisla-
ture together in extra session to enact
a law prohibiting prize fights. The
Governors wisdom in this ma,tter has
been shown by the action of the legis-
lature which passed such a law in less
than six hours after it met and or
ganized. 1t proves that the sentiment
of Texas is clearly against such e21-
htbitions of physical culture as that
proposed at Dallas That this exhibi-
ton will not come off will undoubtedly
be a great disappointment to many
in and out of Texas. These exhibi-
tons are brutal and offend our
moral sense, yet Notwithstanding all
this. there is something in human ma
ture that admires and encourages
without puguacity are not the nations
that rule the world. The most intel
lectual and aesthetic nation that the
world has ever known, Greece, had
her Olympian games and they were
not without their dangers. The heroes
of those games were not such a set of
low down, drunken fellows as the
heroes Of the prize ring are, still it was
the same animal life and consciousness
of power that prompted them to enter
these contests. The immediate physic-
al contest between two pugilists is not
so brutal as the Immediate physical
contest on the football field of
any of our colleges. 1t is the asso-
Citations of the prize ring and the utter
lack of, and inability to achieve, So
cial standing in those who enter them
that condemn prize fighting and its
devotees. 90
Governor Culberson is to be congrat-
ulated on the method he took and the
manner in which he made the law
triump plant. Had he proceeded other
wise his efforts might have ended in
fiasco, as Governor Jackson's did,
and have brought himself into the
same contempt that that distinguished
citizen Of Florida did.

Mother Goose and Pilgrims Progress.
It is not so stated, but we fancy it is
the case, that Mother Goose has been
the fountain source of inspiration.
OF this plate" matter there have
been furnished 100000 pages; reprints
and miscellaneous documents, $4,000;
and of speeches, etc. C'not including
the much greater number lately fur
nished at the expense Of others'), $780,
600. This makes grand total of PAM
phlets, ETC., of 6,107000.
That total represents vast amount
of work and energy and money ex
pended in behalf of Sound money"
propaganda.
The report of the committee ends
with a summing up of the situation, in
which occurs the following:
1t would be foolish to predict that,
even with any probable concurrence of
favorable circumstances, we shall not
yet have widespread and apparently
formidable rivals Of free silver and fiat
money sentiment; and those of the
least experience in educational work
(Which, to be permanently effective,
must reach all classes of voters in all
parts of the country do not need to
be told how rash would be any as
sumption that within few months, or
during any time short of years, it
will be safe to count upon any perma-
nent change in late convictions of pre-
JUDGES Of great masses of voters.
The belief is expressed that the cause
of free silver is a waning one" but
that it is very far from dead, and
that there should be no relaxation of
effort to kill it.
All this must make it plain to the
friends of silver that a great propa-
ganda in behalf Of gold is being car
ried on, and that they must not re-
lax their efforts in behalf of silver.
1t should encourage them that the
gold-bugs themselves say that their
work is far from complete. Very far
indeed. but PROBABLY as nearly COM
plete as it ever will be.

THE MISSING LINK.

From time to time the disciples of
the doctrine of evolution in its i'm
proved sense-that is the. ascent of
man from the ape, and the simian
tribe from lower animals, until
piece of jelly is reached with a single
celI-have thought they had discovered
the one thing needful in their chain
of advancement, the link between the
monkey and the man. THE missing
link has been the great desideratum
of those, so-called, Darwinian phi
losophers and with that supplied they
would be triumphant.
There is such a wide gap between
the lowest human and the highest
sinian, that it could not be bridged
over by theory or filed up with
hypothesis. And so to find the missing
link has been the chief aim of the
antiquarians and explorers and
scientific devotees Of that particular
school. But every fancied victory has
proved notifying defeat.
At length, however, it was tele-
graphed to startled world that the
missing link had been actually found,
and Wyoming, our neighbor, was
the favored spot to yield the lost
treasure. Professor Workman was the
distinguished discoverer of a skeleton
of what he announced was a specimen
Of prehistoric man, near Bitter Creek
in that state. He explained it
leanedly as follows in an interview:
THE form of the Wyoming specimen
does not betoken a very nanlike APP
pearance, and, considering the extreme
antiquity of the specimen in question.
no one who is at all familiar with
archaeological evidence would expect
such a thing. The changes were ex-
tremely slow and gradual, and when
we go back almost to the dawn
Of mans existence we do not expect
to find. nor would it be in keeping
with the story of other well-known
groups of animals to find, the special
lied, or highly developed, coming be-
fore the primitive types. The Wyo-
ming find, as / have already said, will
throw great deal of much-needed
light upon the early development and
connection of the primitive group
This I regard as Of as much import
ance in deciphering the ancestry Of
the human species as the discovery of
those links which tend ito connect man
with the monkeys"
But alas for the theorising and the
vain philosophy of the wondrously
wise, the news comes that:
1.-The bones found by Professor ]. L.
Workman, of Columbia college, New
York, near the head of historic Bitter
Creek, and pronounced by him the
missing link were the. skeleton of a
pet monkey owned by cowboys, which
died about twelve years ago."
This wonderful discovery turns out
to DE on a par with that made by
Pickwick and his associate anti
quarians'' and described so humor-
ously by the immortal Dickens. The
name of Workman and the bogus
historic man will be hereafter in
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-10-04
THAT OFFICIAL EXPOSE.

The simple narration of facts and
array of figures from official records
which appeared in The Herald on
Wednesday, caused a terrible shaking
among the dry bones in the city and
county building, and the wrath of the
exposed county officials was and is
commensurate with the magnitude OF
the showing.
OF course their defender, the Tri-
bune, rushes to their rescue, but makes
only pitiful exhibition of baffied rage
and spite, in keeping with their own
explosions. They will not help their
cause by abuse, nor overcome the force
of their own figures by vituperation.
If there is any inaccuracy in the de-
tails the proper thing to do is to cor
rect it. The Herald only desires to
present what the records show. Thus
far nothing has been advanced to Off
set or disprove what has been pub
lished.
If the people who have been stirred
UP by the disclosures that have ap-
peared in The Herald will examine
those expositions carefully, they will
see that the endeavor of the reporter
has been to give to the public such
facts and figures as official documents
contain, and that is all. If there has
been insufficient explanation Of the
reasons for different appropriations and
the manner of their expenditure, whose
fault is that? Certainly not The Her
AIDS
If the law had been complied with,
according to the advice of this paper,
possibly many suspicious looking trans
actions would have borne a different
complexion. In violating and defying
those plain provisions of the law, the
persons implicated must bear the con-
sequences of their own wrong.
One thing is evident from the whole
miserable business; that is the select
men, and particularly the manipula-
tor of the pauper account. manifest
their utter unfitness for the positions
which, with the aid of their Republi-
can friends, they managed to secure
and which they have certainly been
trying to make as personally profitable
as possible.
The effusion of Mr.. Geddes published
in the Tribune damages him quite as
much as the copies of his own docu-
ments which have appeared in The
Herald. It is not a defence, but IT,
rade of anger and spleen. It is not
even explanatory, but just such an
ebullftion as might be expected from
an official of his caliber. The Republi-
cans of Salt Lake county have shown
their status by the placing of such
persons in office as those whose Off
cial doings have been exposed "a
stream cannot rise higher than it's
fountain" is an old and trite saying,
and it is exemplified in this instance
Let the people Of this city, county and
territory be careful not to entrust the
affairs of the new state in such hands,
but remember that in laying its foun-
dations only competent, wise and hon
est men should be chosen for the work.
