Marquand case. MIR. Marquand had
violated one of the laws of the state and
had gone beyond its jurisdiction. The
county attorney Of Psnobsoot applied &c
the governor for extradition papers, and
the governor issued them, as he was
bound to do, the offence being an ex.
traditable one and application being
made by the proper authorities. Suisse
quently the governor became convinced
that MIR. Marquand would present him
self voluntarily before the proper Maine
tribunal to answer for his offence and in
order not to put him TO any unnecessary
humiliation for an offence which was
not in itself crime he ordered a sus-
pension of the extradition proceedings
The propriety Of Judge Durgin's proceed
tngs, if they have been correctly re-
ported. is not SO clear. A court Is pub
lie institution, and no judge has the
right to shut out the public from a
knowledge of its proceedings.

Concerning Good Roads.
To the Editor of the Press:

~ GtO LSuttV " UtC L ICoos
notice in your issue of the 18th in at.
an exhaustive and labored article by
"Citizen" dated at Freeport, on "good
roads,, the substance OF which is that
"good roads, means "maca6 amized
roads" synonymous" is the term he
uses) and therefore impossible on account
of the expense.
Will "Citizen" kin dly inf rm the
citizens Of Freeporr if he thinks 1T impos.
sible to have better loads :in the town
(oompaI edlwith their present condition)
with the money now expended. AS a
citizen he must be familiar with the con-
dition of the streets in the business CEN
tire of the village. He knows that the
citizens were obliged by private subscrip-
ton, to have oross walks made, to avoid
walking In the mud fully six inchs
d eep, and that it is an actual fact. that
one of our enterprising merchants early
one morning drove flock of ducks out
of the pond in Main streat In front of
his store.
Does ne endorse this condition of the
streets in prosperous and thriving
| village, when with a. little public spirit
and enterprise at n very small expense.
| they could be kept 10 more respecta BILE

tent reply to bis article, possibly it is

reasonable answer than his when he in

lieve, that the Portland Wheel Club or

Aa a matter of fact there Is general

towns In consequence ia very noticea BILE.
The Improvement comes, not so much

from the disposition of the municipal
officers, lin making the best possible use
of the money, and in the selection of

washed into the ditch the previous year

THE POPULAR VOTE.

The Hon. William j. Bryan owes his
defeat In the recent election largely to
people who have not been in the habit OF
voting. The total vote of the country
this year will be little over thirteen
and half millions, gain over the vote
of 1892 of 1.51S,0 600. This gain is almost
three times as great as that of 1892 over
1883. and cannot be accounted for by in.
crease in population. The gains in the
total vote aae most striking In the central
west where the contest was the most ex.
citing. Bry an polled in Ohio more than
70, 600 more votes than Cleveland four
years ago, when Cleveland was only q
thousand below Harrison, and yet Nc.
Kinley carried the state by over 80. 0Ot
majority. The explanation lies in the
fact that 175. 600 more votes ere thrown
in the state than four years ago.
Indiana, Wisconsin. Iowa and Minnesota
show similar state of facts. In Indiana
the total vote increased So, 600; in Illinois
leo, COO; in Wisconsin $4,000; in Iowa,
70, 900; and in Minnesota 10O,00 Foul
years ago Cleveland carried Illinois, Wis
consin and Indiana with a far smaller
vote than Bryan received this year. In
the light of the figures as they now ap
pear it will be seen that the professe
confidence of the Popocratic managers
had more foundation than was generally
believed at the time they put out their
predictions. They figured pretty correct
ly on Bryan's vote; what they failed tc
foresee was the tremendous increase in
the total vote.
The increase in population during th .
past four years will fall far short oil
accounting for this increase in the vote.
1t is only to be explained by assum.
ing that the issues this year appealed tt
large class which as a rule does moi
take sufficient interest in national
elections to go to the polls. The "stay.
at-home" vote got out this year and II
proved to be SO numerous as to entirely
upset the calculations Of the Bryan
managers.

AN INQUIRER,
The Portland daily press., 1896-11-25

Chairman Jones's hunting trip seems
partly at least to have cured him of the
hysterieal condition he was in when be
disappeared in the wilderness. He now
talks as II he had got into the confines
Of nationality. Still he is not quite right
yet. The Republican platform gave NO
pledge to restore bimetalism through in
terHRtionRl agreement or any other way.
1t simply declared that until an inter-
national agreement was arrived Mt the
col utry should cling to the present gold
standard. Mr.. Jones is not quite right
either when hs intimatss that the issue
of free coinage by the United States
alone was not presented to the people
iiiiestly at the recent election. The fact
Is that that was almost the only question
that was presented. 1t overwhelmed all
others. However, as we have said, Mr..
Jonesis reason Is evidently returning
and complete restoration to sanity may
be confidently hoped for.

Macadamized Roads Wanted.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
In your issue of last Friday, exception
Ia taken to the claim of former article
that in the present agitation for good
roads, macadamized roads and suon only
are aimed at. The public cares nothing
about the opinion of an individual but
1t does care to know the meaning of an
important policy which it is asked to
adopt. For this reason little evidence
in support of the claim made may be al
lowed.
The agitation, as is we'll known, has
behind it not the Portland Wheel Club
alone, nor the wheel clubs throughout
Maine; it is branch of the agitation
which the WheelInen's League is max
ing in many states. The OBJECT is the
same in all. In massachusetts the legis-
lation sought has been secured. The
work there Is held up as the model for
other states to follow. The address Of
the Portland Wheel Club declares, "In
our last legislature a bill modelled on
the Massachusetts one, which created
the Highway Commission that has done
such magnificent work in the ref0rma-
ton of road building there, was present.
naturally turns for enlighten ment. The
last report of the Massach usetts High
way Commission makes a book of 1876
pages. In 1T an expenditure of almost
seven hundred thousand dollars is ac-
counted for, with detailed statements of
the roads constructed, and considerable
Information about the method of con-
stracsing state highways. But, so far
rs appears, not one dollar of this large

report devoted to any other method of
improving the public highways.
somewhat intimate acquaintance
with local affairs In one important coun-
try section OF that state where state roads
are being introduced has failed to show
the writer any change, or any thought
OF change in the method of caring for
town roads. Nor could such result he
expected. Macadamizel roads, in
methods of construction and repair.
differ from dirt roads almost as much as
street railroads do.
The purpose and the effect of the pres
ent agitation, If successful may be gath
cred from the statement of the man who
has been and is foremost in it-Col. A,
A. Pope, of Boston.
In an article published in the Golden
RuIe,o Good Roads he says: "From the
outset Dy idea has been, and still is.
hat each stnte shall have highway

in Massachusetts, and that under the
supervision of such commissions should

The few lies about the Psalms are not
clear to me. Mr.. Shepherd speaks as

"good men" who believed David to be
the author of ell the psalms have been
put to disadvantage. But if 1t is
"a fact that he wrote very few" how
can IL harm any body to know it?''

The evidence seems conclusive that
there were wholesale frauds in counting
the vote of Tenuesgee, frauds that
changed Republican to a Democratic
majority. Jones and Butler, and the
other popooratio managers of the Bryan
campaign, yelled fraud for a month be-
fore election and yet 1t Turns out that
the only states in which there Is sus-
picion Of fraud today are states, like
Tennessee and Virginia. where the cleo
ton machinery was controlled entirely by
Popccratio sympathizers. In view of
these facts Jenes's shouting foroibly re-.
