Highways to Wealth.

Good roads are the highways to
wealth. If | take you with me
north, south, east and west, to
where the beginnings of road inn
provement have been made, l could
show you small farm communities
growing rich in these hard times,
contented and happy, and troubling
themselves not at all with the great
problems Of finance which agitate
their brethern. They have no time
to waste in talk. If their fields are
too wet to work, they go on the
road. Their marketing is done in
bad weather, and in rainy spells
they bring from a distance cheap
fertilizers to enrich their farms such
as mari. city refuse, etc. Philadel-
phia refuse is carried twenty miles
on the stone roads.
In these fortunate communities
every day brings its earnings to
man and beast, for there is always
paying work on good roads, and if
a man has no hauling of his own
to do he can get work from others,
and good wages. Extend these
conditions and imagine, if you can,
the prosperity that would burst
upon the country if every farmer
and every farm team could earn a
fair days wages every day in the
year, rain or shine; if every farm
could be cultivated and improved
to its utmost eXtent.-Addrcss by
Gen. Roy Stone.

dcnce and liberty will not admit of
even a semblance of bossism to
the intelligent thinkers of either
party, and more particularly, when
men whose personality is so far
from the high standard of excel
lence necessary to even command
respect, and whose very natures
partake Of the execrable homo
genous admixturc of Judas and
an Esau, usurp the title.
The majority of our voters claim
to control one vote only-thcir
own. This is more than these big
goted pretenders can do in many in-
stances. 1t is more often that the
men who contribute.most literally
to their ''campaign. funds are the
ones who receive their vote.
This same ''fund;'-of which did
we choose to speak, we could re-
veal some wierd facts-never goes
beyond their own pockets.
1t is a great satisfaction to know
that the voters have at last scraped
the barnacles from their eyes and
have awakened to the zeal facts.
and it is to be hoped that it will
serve to expose the mercenary and
fraudulent methods of these politi
cal vampires and give to us the
much desired and long needed
''purer ballot in the future.

ED. JOURNAL:
The result Of the election in Con-
cord Township will, it is to be
hoped, prove to be a valuable les
son to the next Democratic candi-
dates who presume to make cam
paign here.
1t has, heretofore, been fore
cone conclusion that all Of the old
time Democrats who have for years
voted straight ticket could not be
swervcd from this practice by any
consideration. This fact has been
taken advantage of by a certain lit
tie clique who preserve the poll
books and each year check up the
voters, and when a candidate comes
to town, corral him, and in fancied
security of the first mentioned fact
claim to control Il certain number
of votes. When it is possible tc
veeGlc few dollars out of a sus-
ccptible candidate for ''campaigr
purposes" they do so, and then turn
it into their own miscrly boards.
This condition had existed foi
years and their bunco game had
gono on unintcrruptcdly until this
campaign when the actual facts
were set forth by some person to
certain voters. and then the STAN
petle commenced.
The great increase of the Repub
lican vote cannot, with honesty, bt
ascribed to personal prejudice
against the candidates in particular
nor the Democratic principles il
general, but strictly against Tho
self-constitutcd ''leaders". Lead
ers indeed. Bah; the very thought
is nauseating.

The Republican, Avalanche.

Not for the past sixty years, cx-
cept during the war and rcconstruc-
ton days when many states wele
unrepresentcd in Congress, did the
elections occurring in the middle of
the presidential term turn out so
favorably for the party holding
the presidency us they have in the
canvass which has just closed. Or
dinarily those elections 90 against
the Presidents party. The only
time since 1870 when they failed to
do this was in 1886, in the middle
of Cleveland's first term, when
Cleveland saved fragment of the
large majority which he got in the
House in which he was chosen.
At that time, however, the Senate
was against him. The Senate, in
fact, was always against him dur
ing his eight years of service, ex-
cept during the first half of the
second term, in the second half of
the second term he lost his prcpon-
derance in the Senate, and the
House went overwhelmingly
against him. jackson had both
branches of Congress on his side
during the whole Of his service,
but Mckinley is the only Presi-
dent since then who has carried
both branches with him through
his term, save in the civil war an 4
reconstruction period already men
toned.
In another highly important re-
spect the situation for the Republi-
cans is even more gratifying. Nc
Kinley's majority in the electoral!
college in 1896 was ninety-five. 1t
would have been at least 141 if the
presidential canvass had taken
place this year. The only states
which went to the Democrats in
1898 were Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
North Carolina. South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Vir-
ginia. All the other states were
carried by the Republicans, for the
Republicans have the entire state
ticket in Minnesota by good ma
jorities except the Governor, which
was lost on factional fight in the
party, and because many Republi-
can Swedcs voted for the Demo
cratic candidate, a Swede, who was
put up for the purpose of drawing
away votes on the race issue. In a
presidential campaign, of course,
Minnesota would have given in
1898 as big majority, $1,000, as
it did in 1896. The Republicans
have all the states except those
named, and would have had 294
votes in the electoral college, Civ
ing them a majority of 141.
The wreck of the Democracy is
complete and disastrous. In every
part of the country except in the
South it was overwhelmingly
beaten. In fact, of The states con
ventionally classed as the South
the Republicans carried Delewarc
Maryland and West Virginia
Throughout the East and the Cen

DIPLOMATIC SITUATION.
No New Negotiations and No Devel-
opments Yesterday.

Washington, April 12.-The diplomatic
phase of the Spanish situation is in
statu quo. There are no new negotia-
tions and no further developments in
the old ones, A definite understanding
has been reached by the representa-
tives of the six powers of Europe that
no additional action from that quarter
would be opportune at this time.
The armistice has gone into effect in
Cuba, but up to a late hour today no
word had come as to the attitude of
the insurgents. If they accept it the
solution appears to be simple. If they
do not accept it the expectation of the
Spanish government is that this would
be manifest within the next few days
by continued hostilities by the forces
of Gomez and others.
If the Spanish troops are attacked
while in garrison they will defend them
selves, and thereafter feel free to take
the aggressive. In granting the armi-
stice it is known that the Spanish mil
itary authorities did so as a tender to
the insurgents as a mutual cessation of
hostilities, but it is viewed as being
a mutual undertaking, so If the insur-
gents do not accept the tender it is
understood that it will not continue to
operate as a means of keeping the
Spanish troops passive while under
fire.
General Blanco's language is regard
ed as significant in two respects:
First-In showing that Spain yielded
to the great powers and the pope; and.
Second-That the United States was
not included in the influences which
brought about the concession.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo,
feels that his prediction of a more hope
full turn in affairs have been verified,
and there are no signs of impending
departure of the minister and his staff
He made specific denial today of two
published reports. One of these was to
the effect that he had recently asked
an audience at the state department to
submit certain new propositions, and
that considerable trouble had arisen
over the request. the audience at first
being denied and subsequently certain
notes withdrawn. Senior Polo also de-
MED the published statement that he
had been in conference with those rep
resenting the plan for the purchase of
Cuba. He says he has never in his life
seen Colonel McCook, who is understood
to be at the head of this purchase
plan.

Philadelphia, April f2.-William T.
Harrity's answer to the charges OF the
Democratic state chairman, Garman,
and others, upon which his removal
from the Democratic national commit-
tee had been demanded, along With
letters and extracts from newspapers
bearing on the case, all of which nave
been submitted to national Chairman
Jones. will be published in pamphlet
form and circulated among the leading
Democratic politicians throughout the
state ard also sent to the members OF
the national committee for their per-
usal.
In this pamphlet Mr.. Harrity denes
the right of the Democratic state com
mittee and convention to recall nm
from membership in the national com
mittee and SAYS that the power 10
make removals is vested in the ma
tional committee alone. He claims he
was always ready to perform and did
perform any and every duty assigned
TO him as a national committeeman.
Allegations by State Chairman Car
man. he declares, are false, with o5e
exception.
He did refuse to contribute to the
state campaign fund because of waHt
of confidence in Mr.. Garmans manage
ment, but ne did give money TO the
city campaign fund.
Mr.. Harrity contends that he is SUIT
fcientiy in accord with all the Drinci-
pies Of the party to support its caadl-
date. and that he is entitled TO retain
membership il. the committee until his
successor IS elected in 1900.

UNCLE SAM AIDS SPAIN.
Every Days Delay Gives the Dons
Great Advantage.

New York. April 12.-The Herald S
Washington correspondent sends this
news of the Spanish naval operations:
Instead of the battleship Pelayo sailing
for the Canaries several days ago. as the
authorities were led to believe by a
cablegram from Minister Woodford, she
had merely gone 10 sea for her final trial.
A message announcing the return OF the
Pelayo from her trial states that she
made an extreme speed of Is knots an
hour. Her machinery stood the strain
we'll end she is now ready for sea The
arrnored cruisers Carlos V. the officials
have been informed. will be ready to
join the force which sailed for the Canary
islands in few days She will be ac-
companied by the remainder of the tor
pedo boats now at Cadiz. The troops
sent by Spain to the Canaries are to be
employed in manning the fortincatfonS. in
order TO prevent the islands from falling
into the hands of the United States in
case of war for they are most import

That Spain will be benefited by delay
in acting is matter of common talk in
naval circles. The iron battleship Nj
nancia win be ready within a very short
time and three torpedo gun vessels VIII

condition. not only in the way. of get
ting her ships ready. but in getting them
to points where il win be easy for them
TO be quickly combined.
Work is being rushed with the utmost
dispatch or the armored cruisers Car
dinal Cisneros, Catalin and Princessa de
Asturas and the Garibaldi. which was
purchased from Italy, and the officials say
that their completion is only matter OF
a few months and they will constitute q
