The Legislature of New Jersey,
pursuant to a law enacted two years
ago, appropriates a sun of money
each year to assist in the building of
McAdamized road S, providing one
third of the money to those counties
that furnish two-thirds of the cost
of construction. Five counties in
that State have thus in two years
secured n hundred miles of SPLEEN
did roads at a comparatively small
cost, and the plan is working admir-
ably. The people are right in for
the plan, now that they see its good
effects, and nine additional counties
have taken hold of the new scheme.

Popular MonthIy's Great Lee
Articles.

There is no American, living or dead, North
or South, who stood nearer the hearts of the
people, or whose memory is held with more
sacred affection, than General Robert E. Lee.
All on this side of the wiped-out but never-to-
b~e-forgotten Zine" feel that they know him;
bat there is still much of his history and that
of his family and his ancestors that has never
yet been told. On this account the SPIRIT OF
JEFFERSON is pleased to note the announce
ment of Frank Leslle's Popular Monthly re-
garding the series of notable Lee papers that
begin in the February issue. The first is
'The Ancestors of General Robert E. Lee and
the Times in Which They Lived" by Mrs.
Judge Roger A. Pryor, of New York. The
whole series, beginning with the earliest COL
onial times down to the present date, will be
enriched with numerous portraits and illus
trations of special interest, heretofore I'M
printed, and a large speaking likeness in
water colors of General Lee. Altogether
these articles will form a valuable addition to
the history of the great men of the nation.

The Tariff HumbuS.

The republicans proclaim loudly that
protection is the n and only issue, the
holy of holes, the ark of the covenant
as it were. How hypocritical is this
p%retence plainly appears when they
are called on to choose between protec-
ton and the single gold standard. The
other day, in the Kentucky legislature,
it seemed as if the race for senator was
to be left between two democrats, Car
Isle and Blackburn. Immediately the
gold standard republicans rushed to
the support of Carlisle in order to de-
feat a free silver candidate. Yet Car
Isle is the ablest enemy protection ever
had in congress. In fact, he is ultra
free trader. Evidently the average
goldbug is ready to embrace even a
free-trader if with him he can get his
darling idol gold. When Senator Allen
made his proposal in the senate to fur
nish six Populist votes to the republi-
cans to pass their tariff bill if they
would incorporate free silver with it,
they declined with scorn. They prefer
to let even protection go than to grant
free silver. This shows exactly how
the wind blows. The silver people can
learn a valuable lesson from 1.-THE
Nonconformist.

quaint little stoves of his manufacture
are still in existence. In 1772, at the
height of his prosperity, he decided a
plot Of ground to the Lutheran con-
gregation, in consideration Of the an
nual payment thereafter of one red
rose. 1t was demanded but twice dur
ing the Baron's lifetime, but recently
the custom has been revived by some of
his descendants. The celebration Of
the Feast Of Roses in the month Of
June is an event of great interest which
attracts widespread attention and
draws crowds of people from the sur
rounding country and n~eighboring
towns. In his palmiest days the Baron
lived In considerable pomp and SPLEEN
dor. He erected a fine, large mansion

The old Stiegel house, built Of red and
black bricks, is still standing in the
heart Of the town, and some Of the
hand-painted Dutch tiles from one of
the ireplaces may be seen in the
rooms of the Pennsylvania Historical
society, Philadelphia.
The Whitney Glass works OF Glass
boro, N. j., were established in 1775,
and while we have nc knowledge that
articles were made there with patriotic
American designs. other than what
were known as Jenny Lind bottles, it.
is quite probable that such were among
the products Of that factory.
AS previously stated, glass cup plates
seem to have been most in favor about
1910, some appearing earlier and others
a few years later, and therefore the
dates which are occasionally found on
them do not have reference to the
time Of their production, but relate to
the subjects which they are intended
to illustrate. One of these commemor-
ates Bunker Hill battle, fought June
IL, 1775." in which engagement the
gallant Gen. Warren fell. The central
design is an obelisk-shaped structure,
purely conventional. supposed to rep

was erected on the site of the battle

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PLATE.
corner stone having been laid on the
1ftieth anniversary of the event, eigh-
teen years before, by Gen. Lafayette,
who, in 1926, was making a tour of the
United States. At the laying If the
corner stone in that year and at the
unwilling Of the, monument in 1843,
Daniel Webster was the orator of the
day.
The Harrison campaign of 1910 was
responsible for at least two similar
designs in glass, one representing the
log cabin and hard cider device, the
other a portrait of Gen. William Henry
Harrison himself in uniform, and
among other conceits of the glass
makers vas an ink bottle, or stand,
made in the form of a frontier DWELL
ing, the birthplace of "Tippecanoe."
During or shortly after the political
campaign Of 1874 a Henry Clay SOU
venir appeared in glass, bearing an al
legged portrait bust of the American
statesman which, with greater proba-
bility, might have served as a likeness
of Julius Caesar; yet the name which
surrounded the profile was sufficient to
enable it to pass among the people as
a satisfactory representation of their
popular leader.
There was also a series of steamboat
designs, inscribed with the names Of
illustrious Americans. One Of the rar-
est of these shows a sidewheel vessel.

while from one of the masts floats a

above the design occurs the name

The bsrder of this plate has an effect
i've frosted appearance, produced by a
close setting of tiny dots, raised on the
under side, forming a ground on which
are distributed patriotic emblems-
stars, anchors, and the American eagle.
Belonging to the ame set is a Chan
cellor Livingston" design with a SINH
lar lace effect border which is relieved
with decorative details, such as scroll
work, hearts, stars, and the national
shield. In the center, in capital let
ters, the title is inscribed. Robert r.
Livingston was Chancellor of the State
of New York from 1777 20 1901, and be
1T was who administered the oath of
office to Gen. Washington when he was
~inaugurated president in 1889. Mr..
Livingston was one of the committee
of five which drafted the declaration OF
independence, and he was afterward
associated with Robert Fulton in his
steamboat enterprises. Similar series
of designs were produced by English
potters in dark blue color, bearing the
words TORY Line" Union Line" etc.
Thus It seems that not only in china.
but also in glass, was perpetuated the
mem2-y of many of the prominent
eH-lts of history. The producers Of
pottery and glassware of half a century
and more ago introduced in their dec
orative treatment an instructive feat
ure which might be revived with profit
by the manufacturers Of the present
day.
