Gov. Werts, in reviewi ing in his message
the report of the State Commissioner on
Roads, has this to say in regard to steel
roads: "It would be well for New
Jersey, as she did in stone roads, to also
take the lead in inaugurating a system
of State steel roads, and thus ascertain
by actual experience whether it is the
most efficient ard economical highway"
The average cost of a macadam roadbed
sixteen feet wide is put at about $1,000
per mile. The cost of a double-track
steel railroad, six feet wide, filled in
between with broken stone, macadam
sze, about $4,000 per mile. The cost of
a rural one-track road is about 50, 900 per
mile. By steel roads is to be understood
the use of steel rails laid along the high
WAYS and used for all purposes of trans
rortation and carriage as ordiaary high
WAYS now are. The rails, according to
the report of the Commissioner, should
be made OF steel, the thickness of ordinary
boiler plate, gutter shaped. five inches
wide, with a square, perpendicular
shoulder, half an inch high. and then
an angle of one inch outward, slightly
raised. thus forming a conduit for the
water and rendering it easy for the wheels
to enter or leave the track. The advan-
faqes claimed for steel roads are: First,
longer wearing qualities; second. n
horse will draw on q steel track twenty
fines as much as on a dirt road and five
tia. 5 az much as on a ~macadam."

Senator Sewell, of this State, created a
mild sensation in the United States Senate
on Thursday by the introduction of a reso-
luton defining the Monroe doctrine, and
declaring that President Cleveland had
exceeded his authority and gone beyond
all precedent, in implicitly assuming a
protectorate over Mexico and the coun-
tries in Central and South America. The
resolution asserts that the MonfOs doc
trine is intended to extend only to the pro
lection of territory on the American Con-
tinent from foreign aggression only in SO
far as the acquisition of such territory by
any European power might prove to be
dangerous 70 the safety and integrity of

One of the many funny features of the

Among the laws to be tinkered this

item, having cost Salem county last year

The County Judiciary bill, it is under
stood, will make its appearance in the
Legislature again this winter, framed
in accordance with the Supreme Court
decision. 1t will provide for only one lay
judge, to be appointed by the Governor
instead of being elected, and he will un-
doubtedly be a lawyer, so that each
county will practically bavesa law judge
instead of the present lay judges. Gov
ernor Griggs is reported as being opposed
to e%lecting the judges. Suchsa measure,
even though modified a great deal in
comparison with the former bill, will no
doubt encounter much if not all of the

1896 is inst that. 1t has certainly not

thermore, the publication is as fresh in
tone, youthful in spirit and frankly suited
to the time in which we live as any num-
Der ever issued. OF course, the Tribune
Almanac is mainly for the use of people
who take some interest in public affairs
and need to have exact information. The
falling eff in exports and increase of i'm
ports, increase of the public debt and
things of that sort will be read with much
interest. No recital of the contents of

nation, and no first class country store
eve put upon its shelves a more miscel-
laneous assortment of what the people
want, than The Tribune Almanac has set
forth 10 its pages. The former editor,

Because alcohol is a stimulant and will
make a tired or a weak man feel stronger
for a short time, it is thought that the
alcohol imparts strength. The truth is,
it simply acts like the prick of a spur to
a tagged horse. The human machine,
thus 'spurred" to new activity, runs on
for a time longer, but at what cost! Each
heartbeat is more forcible and at the
same time the number of pulsations per
minute is increased. Thus, instead of
being allowed to rest and repair the
waste which has already been too great,
the whole organizat ion is "whipped" on
to continued action by the stimulant and
greater waste is compelled from the over
worked tissues. As a rule, the process
of degeneration is so gradually brought
about that it is attributed to other causes
and, not infrequently, more stimulants
are ordered as a remedy.
