The Road Question.
l.. j. GAGE,
Secretary

The subject of road improve
ment is one of such vital import
to the inhabitants Of the rural re
gions that it seems likely to be-
come a general political issue. \
recent meeting Of the Missouri
Road Association declared in favor
of compelling candidates for high
office to express themselves on the
subject. The following platform
was adopted;
I'VE are in favor of a cash paid
poll and property tax, hired labor
and contract system. We are not
in favor of increasing the burdens
of taxation, but emphatically in
favor of so using the funds as to
get the greatest possible value by
its disbursements. We are in
favor OF districts large enough so
that one contractor in each district
can afford to care for the roads in
it for the year round, the manage
ment of the road affairs of the dis
trict to be in charge OF three COM
missioners elected once each year
at the annual elections. These
commissioners should if they
thought best call to their assist
ancc the county road commissioner
or other skillful road builder.
We believe the present road laws
need material amendment Gwen
a road system that produces value
received for every dollar eXpend-
ed. confidence will be restored and
the people will contribute to it. "

Plain Talk From a SiIyerite.

70 the silver people ef this dis.
trict | want to say reserve youl
promises for the present If the
race is confined to the two candi-
dates now before you vote soIidly
for T. G. Catchings, and let him
crown with final success the
! great work he has been prosecQ-
ting so long and 50 well. Vote
for him, and let the world know
that YOU are free SILVER men be-
cause you really believe il! and
want the free coinage of silver and
are not such for pastime, nor using
its creed as II pf6tense and a a-cLoa6
to further the personal ambition
of any person. nor will you t6ler-
ate any enc who does. For as sure
as you vote for Mr.. Henry, if you
give his free sllyerism as Il reason,
SO surely the world will doubt,
and Justly doubt, the sincerity of
your faith. | mean the world
shall know that there are some
silver men who are just and who
mean what they say; who will not
tolerate attempts to use them and
their creed as cat 5 paw to fur
ther mere private aims, as thing
to be bullied and butchered one
day and fondled and caloled the
next, and who set the promise OF
obedience from an honest adversa-
ry far above professions and pre-
tensions. If Mr.. Henry, or any
one of his supporters will success
fully refute any proposition IN
this letter, or my previous one, or
give me one good reason why as a
silver man or otherwise | should
should vote for him, or show in
any manner how he is Il cure for
any of the ills we endure from "too
much Catchings, as some put 1t,
or if he or any of them explain to
me how any anh-Catchings man
can get any real satisfaction out of
voting for him, | will not only
come all the way to Vicksburg and
vote for him, but will spend ev-
cry day from now till election day
working for him. "A, q. Paxton,

The convention took recess for the
purpose of going to the train and escort
ing Senator Pettigrew to the hall. The
Senator spoke for an hour dealing out
facts in his convincing way. As to
there being issues in this campaign
sufficient to keep the average voter
sufficiently enveloped in thought was
very evident when the Senator had
finished, and we will be surprised If any
Of his hearers attempt to claim the
recent victory over Spain as Repub]i-
can war. Dewey is Democrat; Schley
is q Democrat; Hobson is Populist;
Ensign Bagley, the first American off,
Ger killed, was Pop, and still they say
lit was Republican war. Senator
Pettigrew has q multitude of friends
in; Lincoln county among both parties
and it gives us pleasure to announce he
will be in Canton again before election.
II. H. Smith of Sioux Falls, succeeded
the Senator with few remarks. He is
familiarly known as Cyclone" Smith
and he is appropriately named.

A NATURAL MUD PIE FOUNDRY.

A MAI OhAL MOD FEE fOUNDR1 [.
 Uncle Sam has a freak artesian well on the Brule Indian agency that is at tracting widespread attention. It threw siX-inch stream of water when it was first opened, and for several years thereafter, but for about eight months it has been engaged in making mud pies. Since that time an endless chain of blue clay six inches in dia- meter has been forced up through the pipes, rising slowly above the casing to a height of ten feet and then top bling over on the ground. The erup- tion continues night and day~and the amount of clay so far forced up from the bowels of the earth has made it necessary for the government to em- ploy man to care for the premises. Very little water comes up with the clay A noticeable peculiarity of this well is that the clay rises more rapidly previous to the advent of windy wealth CT, resuming it's steady even grind again on the return of pleasant wealth er.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

PURSUING LAUREATE AUSTIN.


 If an arrangement could be made with the treasury by which, on the stipulation that he should write no verse whatever the stipend of the Poet Laureate could be doubled, we believe that 1t would be hailed as economy We are very sorry for Mir. Alfred Aus tin, for whom we have a weakness. He IS a gentleman, a patriot, and kind hearted man: when he was placed in his present false position, we hoped that common sense would make him adrlot and careful. He is no poet, of course, yet men of even smaller gifts could steer their course with safety by the exercise of tact and humor. But Of these the Laureate has not trace. In the ocean of inane public utterances his dreadful ballad of Jameson Ride'' stands up, a Teneriffe of tactlessness, the worst literary blunder of the age. This week, when all the world is so touchy, MT. Austin circulates to the morning papers an ode called "A Voice form the West" in which he treats America with the sort of unconscious patronage by which he drove MT. Will fam Watson wild in graciously beckon- ing him up the slopes of Parnassus.
 The misfortune is that Mr. Alfred Austin has never become known in America, and since his appointment his name has been greeted with a great deal of rather ill-bred chaff in New York and Boston. The Americans are not aware of those genuine qualities of head and heart which he possesses. They will not appreciate being told that they 'are lords of a strong young land and we are lords of the main." The habit of employing richly figura- lively speech is often abused in the United States; we feel melancholy certainty that it was abused when "A Voice from the West" (which is surely geographical blunder, as MT. Austin is not singing from Japan.) was reprinted. Nor can English ears have done less than redden and jingle at this foolish, secondhand bunkum about the "sons of the self-same race, and blood of the self-same clan" about 'loyally loving and trusting each oth- wrong,f and all the rest of the rhetoric. This stuff, so tame, so trite, so false, so tuneless as verse, so parochial in manner, is likely to do no more than remind us, with a sigh of regret, how dignified and weighty were the rare ut terances on such occasions made by the great Aired who reigned last in the laurel.-From the London Saturday Review.
