A PLAN FOR STEEL WAGON
ROADS.

Steel wagon roads, as advocated
by Martin Dodge, State road COM
missioner of Ohio. are likely to have
a thorough trial in several States
this year. These roads consist OF
two rails made Of steel, the thick
ness Of boiler plate. each formed in
the shape Of a gutter five inches
wide. with q square perpendicular
shoulder half an inch high, then an
angle OF one inch outward slightly
raised. The gutter forms q conduit
for the water, and makes it easy for
the wheels to enter or leave the track.
Such q double track steel railroad,
sixteen feet wide, filed in between
with broken stone. macadam size,
would cost about $4,000. as against
$1,000 per mile for macadam road
bed, Of the same width; but the
cost Of q rural One-tEack steel road
would be only about $1,000 mile.
It is claimed that such \ road would
last much longer than stone, and
that one horse will draw on . steel
track, twenty times - much IS on 2
dirt road, and five times as much rs
on macadan.

Democratic
VICTORY.

As usual, for the past twenty
years, the grand old Democratic
party, which stands as the repre-
sentative OF honest government and
white supremacy, carried the day
in Louisiana last Tuesday. By about
Sc, 900 majority, and Gov. Murphy
]. Foster will hold forth at the State
Capital, ard direct the affairs Of
government for the next four years.
Public confidence has thus been re-
assured, and the march of progress
and prosperity will continue Thorough
out the State. Improvements will
continue to spring up on all sides,
new industries will be developed, =
new impetus will be given to immi-
grafton, which means more new
homes and farms, and the public
credit of the State will be maintained
At its present high standard. With
the gentlemen who were elected to-
gether with Gov. Foster, on tue
Democratic ticket, every depart
ment Of the government will be
honestly and efficiently admins
tered, and our public institutions
will be conducted in = manner that
will make them in the future, IS
they are at present, the pride Of
every citizen of Louisiana, and the
envy of all the other States in the
Union. The Democrats have m q dc
the good fight and have won, and
they have just reason to congratu-
late themselves on the result of last
Tuesdays battle Of the ballots.
So far as the Constitutional
amendments are concerned, they
appear to have been defeated.

ADVERTISING FOR FARMsRs

While waiting at q country sta

m intelligent, nicely dressed gentle
man who belonged to that class
which, accordingt to tue funny news

marked, land practice it, as also
do several of my neighbors."

Using had never occurred to me, and
upon expressing curiosity to kisOw
in what manner farmers could i'd
vertise, he said:

Of being compelled to 60 from one

and also know that other dealers

they BID the highest price they can
