Having secured right of way, Mr.. Sher.
man yielded temporarily to Mr.. Allen, of
Nebraska, to state his views on the claim
of Dupont. The statement had more
than passing interest, as the six Populist
votes in the senate are regarded as decisive
in the contest and this was the first ex-
preston from the Popnlist senator.
Mr.. Allen contended that Dupont was
not entitled to seat without certificate
or credentials from the executive Of the
state, and when this was lacking, as in
this case, the courts could compel the is
suance of credentials by the governor.
Mcssrs. Mitchell and Chandler called
attention to the fact that senators now
sat in the chamber who did not bold cre-
dentials from the governor.
Mr.. Mitchell sarcastically added that
this disclosed Mr.. Allen as the "wisest
man in the senate"
Mr.. Allen vigorously maintained his
nORition,

THE MARTINS FERRY TEAM
Did Not Compete la the Hose Team Races
ut M~CILrrsuOrt

The three fast hose teams In Ohio,
Martins Ferry, Salem. and Toronto
withdrew from the races at McKccs-
port. Pa, yesterday because Of the mis-
management and the rulings against
them. The Butler, Pa, hose team was
afraid OF Martins Ferry and was the
cause Of the trouble. Butler kicked,
kicked and kicked. The officials chang
ed the rules two or three times and
finally decided that the Ohio teams
could not use harness, which they al
ways do and that all competing COM
panics should use the same hose. AS
the first teams would have the ad-
vantage, Martins Ferry, which was
10 have run In the sixth place, object
Cd The track was muddy and PARTIAL
~ covered with water and the more
the hose was used the heavier 1t would
get.
When Martins Ferry refused to run
under such unfair rulings, both the
Salem and Toronto companies followed
suit and these together with their root
ers left the town. Martins Ferry was
the farorlte and bets offered on her
were not taken. Friends OF the Mar
tins Ferry company, which holds the
worlds championship o.~tred to bet
$1,000 that 1t could beat Butler and Of
fered to allow Butler 10 name the time
and place. but this was not taken.
The Martins FERRY company was
never in better shape than yesterday
and was confident OF victory. The time
made b. the teams that did run was
much slower than Martins Ferry's
time on such tracks. Bradford, Pa,
won first In 81 1-5.and Butler took third
place. making the run In IS. Several
hundred people were at tho depot last
night to meet the Martins Ferry conn.,
pany upon Its return.

War on Prices.


A jolly fight in grocery circles
has been going on in Logan for a
few weeks much to the happiness
of the poor fellow whose nickels
are few. A. @, Upton the East End
Grocer and Stratton Bros. are the
thickest in the contest. Last Sat-
urday circulars were issued by ip-
pin selling soap for cent per bar
and corn meal 9c per sack, and
other goods according to the
amount of a bill of 90c. Stratton
Immediately offered the same lot
for 0Sc, and so they have it. The
consumers are muchly tickled, and
many orders were filed at these
almost fabulous prices. For the
benefit of the poor we like to see
such contests, but in the mean time
we hope the merchants so engaged
are not crippling themselves or
sacrificing anything below cost.
That would show poor business
tactics and result in disaster to
themselves.

They Quickly Destroy tho Good Work OF
a4 the Road Roller.
1t has been truly said that NO other
single element, except ignorant road
making, adds 80 much to the heavy bur-
den of supporting the highways as the
use of marrow tires, which cut up the
roads instead of ironing them smoothly
down. .s
Look at the beautiful, glossy path
which the bicyclists make for them
selves at the edge of the road before the
puddles are fairly dried up and then at
the bottomless abysses plowed by loaded
wagons and you will have the whole
thing in a nutshell.
The horses hoofs. Of course, chop up
the road somewhat. but it is mere sur
face irritation compared with the deep
and fatal wounds made by the narrow
tired wheels when once a rut is started
Build reasonably good road and
equip the vehicles with tires with some
thing the same proportion to weight
as the tires Of a bicycle. with the tread
of the rear wheels different from that of
the front wheels. so as not to follow in
the same path, and the surface will not
be rutted at all. The wheels serve as
rollers, and, instead Of cutting up the
roads, they make them better.
Fine philosophy we show, to be sure.
We tax ourselves poor to- keep steam
rollers at work on our highways, and
then carefully yselect wagons which will
undo the work Of the, roller as quickly
as possible. --Milford (Mass. Gazette.

Experience Necessary TO Overcome the
Many Probicms
The. Watertown.co n.correspondent of the
Waterbury American, in nn article on
the building Of piece Of road in that
town, has this scintillating jewel Of
fact.
'"There is hardly farmer In town
but thinks himself capable to make q
good piece Of road; but, although vari-
Ous ones have carried cut their own
ideas, which In number Of instances
were diametrically opposed to each
other, we never were blessed with many
good roads. "
Nor will the roads Of the country
ever be classified as "good." to say
nothing of "fair" or "tolerable." until
tho farmers are taken off the roads and
regular roadbuildors employed, for it
is as certain as anything con be that
hauling mud on tho roads, mixing 1t
with clods of turf and sand, will never
make q good road. Roadbuilding and
road repairing is science, q trade.

requires study, and road must be built
on regular plan. Roads differ in con-
struction rs in situation The matter Of
location--dry and sandy soil or wet and
clayey soil-has everything to do with
the permanence Of tho road. AS that
we'll known advocate OF good roads, @.
W. Bradley Of, .Newtown, says, "You
cnu't make good road by hauling
loan ON TO loan or sand on to sand. =" Yet
that is what many farmers who make
roads do and nre surprised because trav-
elers over the roads find fault.
There is just one way, md only one,
to build good road, and that is to
hire a man who knows how, who has
put some thought into the subject. who
has had experience and is not too anx-
ious to work out his taxes. "-Ansonia
