1ou are the city and this your doom:
Never to feel the outer cold,
Never to fear the utter dark,
Never to strain the eyes and bark
For any foot but the foot of Time;
Never to find hill worth the climb
Or Joy that may be worth the tear.
My dear
You are shut in from snow and sleet,
am out in the wind;
Wy feet are strange to the trodden street.
Love cannot hold or bind
My empty hands that let you go
My hands that catch the silken snow
And let it slip from me in rain.
love you, yet our souls are twain,
For am hope and you are fear,

General Grant Favored Good Roads.

Nearly 20 years ago General Grant,
In enumerating necessary lines of pub
lie Improvements, named the public
schools and highways. Once, when he
and General Sheridan were in n remi.
niscent mood, the old commander said
to Little Phil" speaking of the latter's
famous ride to the battle of Cedar
Creek: "Sheridan. if that battle had
taken place after prolonged rain and
there had not been good pike from
Winchester. you would never have been
promoted to the head Of the United
States army. You would not have reach
ed the battlefield to cheer your men,
and there would have been a great de-
feat for the Union forces instead of q
great victory. That would have left
Meade aud Thomas long distance
ahead Of you in the line of promotion"

Keep tho Road Dry.

F. A. Durham, who has been prom
inently identified with the farfamed
system Of modern highways Of New
Jersey, at a meeting of the Connecticut
Valley Highway association, stated
that poor material we'll put together
can be made to produce better results
than first class material carelessly put
together. Nothing is more fatal to du-
rability than the drainage Of the road
bed; and more particularly the sub
drainage, which is often neglected. A
macadam road cannot be left to itself
after completion, but needs constant
supervision.

WIDE TIRE. BENEFITS.

They Not Only Improve the Road, but the
Load 10 More Easily Drawn.
The beneficial effect of the wide tire
on dirt roads is strikingly shown in
some recent tests at the Missouri agri-
cultural experiment station at Colum.
bia. A clay road badly cut into ruts
by the narrow tires was selected for
the test as presenting conditions least
favorable to the broad tire. A number
Of tests of the draft of the narrow tire
were made in these open ruts and i'm
mediately followed by the broad tires
running in the same ruts. The first run
of the broad tire over the narrow tire
ruts was accompanied by an increased
draft, tho second by draft materially
less than the original narrow tire, the
third by still greater decline, and in
the fourth trip the rut was practically
obliterated and filed. The narrow tires
were then run over the same road, with
the results that the draft was lighter
than before the broad tires had been
used. Alternating the broad and narrow
tires on this road for number Of times
resulted in a gradually decreased draft.
In other words, the broad tires were
improving the road surface to such an
extent when run but half the time as to
make the draft considerably less for all
vehicles. This clearly demonstrates that
if even half the wagons used on dirt
roads had broad tires the results would
be beneficial in draft and enormously
beneficial in lettering tho condition Of
the roads.
In another trial, when q clay roao
was SO badly cut into ruts as to be al.
most impossible for light vehicles and
pleasure carriages, after running the
inch tires over this road Ia times the
ruts were completely filed and a frst,
class bicycle path made. A careful REQ.
ord Of the drafts shows that the drafts
was materially less than with the mar
row tires Immediately before. Thus tho
road would have been gradually i'm
proved by the use Of the broad tires at
the same time that the farmer would
have been able to transport his products
over the road with greatly reduced
draft.

WAR WITHOUT WEAPONS.
Great Britain Powerless In the Impend-
Ing Economic Struggle.

" Great Britain Powerless In the Impend.
Ing Economic Struggle.
E. j. Dillon, the famous Irish mem.
Der of the British parliament, has just
published in one of the London periodi-
calls 20 page article upon the query of
whether the future in Europe promises
war or peace. He alleges that the COM
ing great contest among nations will be
an economic one, not martial, and then
proceeds to arraign tho English law
makers for disarming that country
through their idolatrous worship Of the
policy of free trade.
''In this peaceful warfare for com.
mercial supremacy, says he, "a gov
eminent can effect but little without
the peculiar weapons adapted to the
times, and Of these we have voluntarily
and foolishly deprived ourselves It
sounds strange that the most CONNER
cial nation in the world should be the
only one which is powerless to hinder
or modify deadly blow aimed at its
trade by striking or threatening to
strike back in return. Yet it is only too
true. Just fancy what chance McKin-
Icy or Dingley tariff would have had
of becoming q law if our government
possessed the reasonable right Of impos.
ing corresponding duties on American
products and of STIMULATING that the
colonies should do likewise, or imagine
what brisk trade could be done with
Russia if it were within the power Of
our government to conclude special
politico-commercial treaty with that
empire, or how much nearer to the far
off ideal Of imperial federation we
should be if the colonial secretary were
free to treat with the colonies for the
establishment Of an Britannia GUS
toms union
This extract will be sufficient to show
that in one respect at least Mr.. Dillon is
in accord with those whom he accuses
OF worshiping the policy Of free trade
after an idolatrous fashion. They are
alike III denouncing the American pol
10y Of protection as vastly injurious to
British trade. Without entering into a
discussion of the merits Of either of the
policies it would seem to be fair con.
clusion that if American protection is
an injury" to British trade American
protection must be an advantageous
thing for American trade. Mr.. Dillon
defines the war of the future as CON-
mercial one, in which all Of the wea pons
at hand must be used, and in this he is
dmply repeating sentiment that found
an expression in more than 500, 900 ma.
jority at the American polls year ago.

Resumption OF Foreign Purchases Will
Solve the Problem.
There Is a pledge, however, which the Re.
publican party made at st. Louis and which
It has az yet eniled to redeem. That pledge
was to provide government revenue adequate
to government expenses. New York Sun.
The Republican party has adopted the
wisest and surest method to redeem that
pledge in enacting the Dingley tariff
law The Sun knows as we'll as any of
the other assailants Of the Dingley law
know why the government revenues
thus far have been inadequate to gov
eminent xpenses-because the Wilson
law enabled the importers to "beat the
new tariff" during it's early period of
enforcement by bringing in enormous
ahticipatory stocks from which to draw
for several months without paying the
new duties. The Press and other Repub-
licans warned congress and the rest of
the country time and again that the de-
lay enforced in the senate by agents and
tools Of private interests would have
precisely the effect which it has had.
Among Republicans there has been
the Dingley law No one was fool
enough to suppose that importers would
pay Dipgley rates as long as it might
be possible to escape them. We all
knew that every hour of delay in the
passage Of the new revenue bill meant
heavy anticipatory imports under the
Wilson law. We all expected, when
these excessive imports ran up into mil

a very enjoyable one. The solo, cover
the Mountain of Sorrow" was sung by
Mr.. o. C. Mclaughlin.
The address on The Evil of Intemper-

D. Jordan. Among other things he said
that dram drinking is dangerous,
drunkenness is destruction total absti-
hence is safe. Intemperance win ruin
young men for business. 1t VIII ruin them
socially and 1t viii ruin their characters
He had found that the saloon makes or
phans, widows, thieves, murderers; that
1t gnaws the vitals Of virtue, it makes
poverty and ruins politics. He laid en-
phasis on the fact that no man deliber-
ately becomes a drunkard, and warned the
young men against the social glass.
whether it is handed, he said, by any
young man, young lady, or BY ones moth

devil In it.
