Educate the People.

"I know of no better way than to in- crease the road tax. Then first make the main roads good so they will last, by graveling them, doing what you can each year with a reasonable tax levy such as the people are able to pay, and then extend the good roads to the cross roads. The only way to get the people to see the advantages of good roads is to commence building small pieces at a time, and then it will not be long before they will all be willing to pay more taxes, so that all might enjoy tho bene- fits of good roads.

FLYERS TO MEET.
The ZimTnerman-Johnson Match VIII
 Probably Come on.


 FREEHOLD. N. J., Juno 5.-It now looks as though Zimmerman and Johnson would come together in match for the championship. Johnson's challenge to him short timo ago and Zimmerman s refusal to consider it created no little amount of talk, with the result which will be learned with joy by tho wheeling fraternity, that the champion has made up his mind to try conclusions with the former class B man.
 On Saturday Zimmerman manager, Joseph MoDermott, declared that there was no possibility of the men arranging a match this yoar. but on Tuesday new phase developed. and MT. McDcrmott in formed w. J, Morgan editor of The Amer iCan Whoolman here. that Zimmerman was ready to meet Johnson at Asbury Park during the League of American Whoomen tournament in July for s, 900 n side and no less, the money to be posted immU lately.

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir-I find some of the promoters of the new road from Sheffield street Union City, to Prospect street. have feeling against me because published a letter giving reasons why the road should not be built. At present let me tell these gentlemen that they should not feel aggrieved at me for giving an honest opin- ion, or at any other man who deals openly aud manly upon all questions that concern the public. Which do you prefer, men that sign your petition and then vote against it. or those that deal openly in the public print? There can be but one answer to this question and there let it rest. Yours truly.

THE NEW CIGARETTE TAX.

To the Editor Of the Register
Parkersburg, w. Va, April 1O.-ln
YOUR issue to-day you publish a letter
written by me on March II, 1895, and
addressed to Mr.. J. B. Mckee, OF
Wheeling. regarding the license tax on
the sale of cigarettes imposed by the
late Legislature. At the time of writing
that letter. I did not have the act as
it finally passed before me and con
seuuently wrote from memory and the
information of those who were friend
w TO the measure in the House OF Dele
gates. Since then / have heard that
the House materially changed the
wording of the bill as l originally in
troduced it in the Senate. As original
" introduced and passed in the Senate,
the bin placed a license tax of hve
hundred dollars on all dealers IN
"paper wrapper cigarettes and cigar
cite paper" There seems TO have
been some irregularities in the passage
of the bill through the House and
out of the recent newspaper contro-
yersv over the effect of these irregular
tiles on the cOnstitutlonallty OF the
act. l learn that the law as finally
passed imposes a license tax of five
hundred dollars on retail dealers in
cigarettes" l have written to Char
lesion for a copy of the act but cannot
procure one. If the law reads retail
dealers in cigarettes" it is unfortunate
in its wording, for the act does not
define what constitutes a retail dealer,
and the word cigarettes is broad
enough to cover tobacco wrapper cigar
cites and cubebs, while the sale Of
cigarette paper remains free. 1t Is to
be regretted that a copy of the law
connot be had for publication, but as
it cannot be. it seems, and may not be
before the law goes into effect, desire
to publicly call attention to the effect
of its wording in case the memory of
some members of the House is not at
fault and the wording is as given
above. Respectfully YOURS,
J. b. FINLEY.

WHEELING PARK OPENING,
It Has Been Set for the 18th Of This
Month.
The Park and Approaches Will be
Made Brilliant at Night by Elec-
tricity from the New Suburban
Plant, at Elm Grove.

The MANAGEMENT of Wheeling Park
have fixed the opening of the season
of 1895 for the afternoon and evening
of the 2Sth inst, when an immense
attendance of the people of this city
and vicinity is looked for.
It is the idea to have the entire
grounds and buildings brilliantly il
Illuminated by electricity from the new
plant of the Suburban Company, at
Elm Grove. in the evening, the Opera
House band will be in attendance, and
will discourse fine programme OF
music. and every arrangement will be
made for the entertainment and en-
iovment of all those who may be
present. This opening will undoubt-
edly be the grandest event OF the SORT
ever planned by the energetic man
agement of this justly famous and pop
uIar resort, and the public should
heartily respond.
The building for the electric light
and water works plant, at Elm Grove
will be completed the last OF TINS
week or the first of next and the cleo
trical machinery is all ready to be
placed in position. The pole line has
been set up from the plant as far west
as ,Altenheim, and it will only take
few DAYS to wire the Park for a SUM-
cient number of lights to make all
parts of the big pleasure ground bril-
liant. The pole line follows the pike
from Elm Grove to Seibert 5, ana
thence runs along the line OF the Elm
Grove railroad through Pleasant val
ley and past Echo Point, striking the
pike again near Altenheim. inns
route will be most advantageous Tor
the great bulk of the population be-
tween Altenheim and Seiberts, and
will facilitate the lighting OF resi-
dences and private grounds. TWO
weeks more will see the electrical ma
chinery in running order and the
lamps in place throughout the
grounds. and the opening on the 2Sth
will be a great event in the history OF
the Park.
