Carter is pretty good Republican

that the Republican party will never

In this statement he is undoubtedly
correct. Between these two eminent

PIKE, N. c., March 21.-It will
not be long before the people will
have another chance to vote. The
only way that the people can make
their wishes and desires effective is
through the ballot box. Therefore,
this is the only way by which we can
make times better. A great deal is
being said about co operation. The
Republicans are very anxious for us
to cooperate with them provided We
will agree not only to approve of
their running a goldbug candidate,
but also to help them elect him.
They also claim the Govern
orship as one of their terms for
co operation. That is, they want US
to cooperate with them to help elect
a goldbug President, and to help
elect their candidate for Governor.
l submit that this is not only not fair
to the Peoples Party, but it would
be the end of our party if we were to
agree to it. l submit that co-opera-
ton, even on those terms, might be
best for the Office seekers and office
holders who want to be reelected
under any condition, but how would
it be for the hundreds who do not
hold office, and who do not expect

eyes on politics as well as on roads and prove annoying to the machine. They would be elected by commission, which is independent, and which has shown a most commendable zeal to se- cure for the State the benefits possible under the law. It will be public mis- fortune if the fear of losing some politi- cal opportunity leads to the preventing of this inspection.
 Without inspection the roads are liable to prove failures; and, if the first work turns out badly, there'll be no more. That fact would be sufficient weapon with which those opposed to the scheme could kill it. So the whole question of good roads for the State may hinge on the action of the comp troller in this matter. It would be queer if the scare lest some outsider should get little political power were . to smash the road movement And It would be turn that the people of the State would be quick to notice. They want better roads. If the good road scheme fails, they will ask why; and, if politics kills 1t, that kind of politics will suffer a severe setback when the fact comes out.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-05-07
- ------------------ --------------------- Not Politics, But Roads.
[From the Hartford Courant.

lrFOtn LUe t1at blOru IOuThllt.
 The work of good road" building in the State is so large and so important that it is bound to be either a great public improvement or a great fizzle.
 Last year, though the beginning was late, twenty-two towns completed their new road work and fifteen others got so far along with theirs that it might be called completed This year it is esti- mated that more than eighty towns will be engaged upon such improvements. They build yearly, on the average, from a half to three-quarters of a mile in length, with an average roadway of six teen to thirty feet. As is already well understood, when a town votes to un- dertake the work the State puts in as much money and then the county does, so that the town itself only lays out one-third the cost.
 With eighty towns building new roads that are required to be solid and per manent, it is obvious that there is need of constant intelligent inspection and supervision, and it is equally obvious that the. three State road commissioners cannot personally do all this inspecting, though the law demands that it be done. For that reason the commission CTS want to appoint local inspectors to act for them. The law contemplates the expenditure of s75,0O0 year on roads. The salaries and expenses of the commissioners, and the cost of the of flee, are paid by the State, all outside of the S75 00O The commissioners ask ed the comptroller to pay the needed inspectors also with outside funds, and this, by advice of counsel, he has de- clined to do. Then they suggested charging that expense in as a part of the cost of the road, to come out of the S75.000. As we understand it, the comptroller has this under advise ment"
 It is current gossip, and has already trotted liberally through the press, that there are fears entertained lest these proposed inspectors might keep their
