AT the end of last week the gold

AT the end of last week the gold
reserve fund was close on to $780,
900. 900, or higher than at any
time within the past seven years,
but we notice that the Democrats
are not giving themselves much
credit that Cleveland leaves the
fund in such a satisfactory state.
Those $3.50. 900, 900 Of bonds leave
a bad showing on the wrong side Of
the ledger. The reason why the
gold reserve is sustained at such a
comfortable figure is that the peo-
pie are satisfied that all our money
will continue to circulate at par,
and that they prefer to use paper
money as matter Of convenience;
consequently gold is released and
finds its way to the national treas
ury. As soon as the revenues are
increased sufficiently to meet ex-
penditures, the financial condition
Of the country will again be i'll

IF the 3oth General Assembly
does not give us better road laws
than those now existing, the people
of this county will find that the old
laws give them plenty Of room to
bring about improved roads if they
only 60 about it in the right man
ner. The private subscription
scheme is well enough, as far as it
goes, but at best it can only build
very short stretch of road, for
the reason that the burden Of ex-
rense falls upon a few only. The
most feasible plan to secure better
roads under our present laws would
be by county organization, or if the
whole county refuses to JOIN in,
then by township organization.
BY such organization a road com
mission could be created (cither
county or township, as the case
may be) with powers to raise funds
and prosecute the building of roads
within the county or township, the
expense so incurred would fall up
on all the people by pro-rata tax
alton, which need not necessarily
be much higher than the road-tax
now levied, which Zoe on the 500
valuation. A few energetic men
who are interested in this question
of better roads, could doubtless Sc
cure township organization for
Breton township. If we once get
such a system started other town
ships will take it up and carry it on
until the entire county will find its
self with improved roads. 1t is
worth trying for.

The Passing of Cleveland Admin.
istration.

THIS day witnesses the close OF
Cleveland's second administration.
and there are few who will see its
termination with regrctful eyes
and none will drop tear at its
passing. These last four years Of
Cleveland leave mark upon histo
ry's page at which future genera
tions will pause in wonder, for it
will there be recorded that the
outgoing President had been rcpu-
dated and deserted by the party
which elected him.
Coming into power as it did,
with fair promises ON its lips of
what it would do for the country,
the Cleveland administration has
been misfit from the beginning.
1t found the country at the height
of commercial and industrial activ-
itv; the revenues were equal to
government expenditures, and the
people were happy and prosperous.
What followed close upon the in
auguration of Cleveland is still with
us, and needs no portrayal as a
reminder. The unfortunate condi-
ton of the country at this closing
hour of the administrations rule
is not the result OF the Presidents $
individual act, but rather the result
of party blunders and for which
the party is now making the Presi-
dent its scapegoat. When we con-
trast ClepcIand's second with his
first administration, in which Dem
cratic legislation was held in check
by Republican control in Congress,
we find the President has no power
to work the evil results which fol
lowed the complete assumption Of
Democratic rule at the beginning
of Clcveland's second administra
ton.
But it is over, and tomorrow viii

THE National Reform Press As
sociation, an organization of Popu-
list editors, met in convention at
Memphis last week and proceeded
to lay plans for keeping their party
in the middle of the road hereafter.
They start out by eondcmning their
late allies, the free silver Demo-
Gratis, for having failed to keep
their promises, and pledge them
selves against further ''entangling
alliances, and all patriotic citizens
are invited to join the Populist
party and help it save the country
from "the abyss Of bankruptcy and
ruin The leaders of the party
who so conveniently and oppor-
tuncly sold out to the Democrats in
the late campaign were denounced
as "traitors.' This all sounds very
nice, but the record of the Popu.
list leaders lead US to fear that the
good resolutions so lately formed
will weaken at the first temptation

reformers has heretofore been

The Good Roads Movement.

the legislatures in twelve different
states, and in all the bills the crea-
ton Of a state highway commission
is provided for. This shows that
the continued discussion OF better
roads is leading to an era Of action.
Some of the states have made con-
siderable progress in applying de-
finite legislation to the permanent
betterment of the roads, and their
experience will be of value to the
communities that have not yet de-
cided On the form Of law desired.
New Jersey is as far advanced as
any state in actual work Of road
construction. The law there places
one-third of the cost on the state,
one tenth on the abutting land
owners, and the remainder on the
county. Under these provisions
10 less than 800 miles Of improved
road have been built or contracted
for in New Jersey, and the state
has paid for its third the sum Of
S466. .5o5. The tota! expenditure
in six years has been 81, 800, 200.
The addition. in so short period.
of 800 miles to the first class roads
of q single state is an evidence that
the work can be made to move
rapidly and economicalIy " when cnce
intclliyentIy begun. Behind the
mov enent in New jersey has been
a league of good roads associations,
who adopted this for their motto:
"Good roads decrease taxation. de-
crease living expenses, increase
property values, increase farmers
incomes, increase railroad business,
promote prosperity, promote civil
ization." 1t would be hard in a few
words to put the case more aptly.
New Jerseys new highways are
hard and smooth and are supplied
with side paths for pedestrians and
bicyclers. Massachusetts, Is nearly
as far along in the work, and New
York will soon be in line. The
bill prepared in New York pro
vidcs fer special tax Of one-tcntil
of q mill, which will yield s43G, 900
for improved roadniaking during
the present year. Half of the cx-
pensc Of construction will be placed
on the state.
50 far as improved road laws
have taken shape in this country.
the French idea is recognized that
the state should bear Il considerable
share of the costs of constructing
roads. French rural prosperity
can be traced in no small degree to
its excellent roads. The substitu-
ton of a solid!y built road for a
dirt road soon effects a transfer
nation in the region through which
it it passes. and even the old topo-
graply seems to vanish. lmproy
ed accessibility tells upon every
farm and add to its value. Time
and money, which are usually
equivalent, are saved to the farmer
and to all whose business it is tl
communicate with him. Economy
is consulted as we'll as convenience.
Now that the rural inhabitant is
expected to bear bat q portion OF
the expense Of good roads, his dis
position toward the movement i,
