OFTEN get no fntfnaation Of the approach
Of a depression till it is nearing our
western shores; and if it be travelling
fast it may have broken on them and
even upset everything in the neighbour
ing districts in the interval between
two calculations. If it were possible
to establish stations well out in the
Atlantic, the percentage Of accurate
forecasts would go up with bound.
But as we live in an island country,
with an ocean on the west and gulf
stream in 1t, we must, for the present
at least. put UP with a changeful eli
mate and occasional failure in wealth
er forecasts.

KENTUCKY ELECTION LAW.

The Court of Appeals Of Kentucky has
decided that the Goebel election law is
constitutional The Goebel law, as is
wel-known. is modelled after the Virginia
election law, and the Court Of Appeals
OF Virginia has also decided that our
law is constitutional. But neither the
Kentucky court nor the Virginia court
meant by its decision to approve ithe
crooked methods that are practiced under
these respective laws. There is nothing
ia either law to compel election officers
TO commit frauds. II is an easy matter
to hold an honest election under the lir-
ginia law, and in most sections Of Nir-
GINA we believe that the elections are
honest and fair, but on the other hand
there are, and purposely so. in this law,
and from what We know of it in the
Kentucky law. opportunities for fraud
which are improved in certain sections
where fraud is necessary to carry an
election for the dominant party. Neither
the Virginia law nor the Kentucky law
is purged Of this iniquity because the
courts have pronounced in favor of their
constitutionality.

THE SECRET OF GOOD ROADS.

The Mecklenburg Star. in referring 70
the ever-recurring question Of good coun-
try roads. saws that while It is not dis
posed to advocate toll roads, it feels sure
that any farmer in that county who In
going to market should have the choice
of a good macadamized turnpike with "A
dve-cent toll and an ordinary county
road free would undoubtedly pay the toll
and take the turnpike, for he would thus
not only have a more comfortable and a
quicker journey. but would haul over the
turnpike a load of 1000 pounds as against
a load of 800 pounds over the ordinary
road.
There is practical thought in this,
and we commend it to the farmers of
Virginia. 1t has always been a strange
thing to us that the people of a coun-
ty. generally speaking, will subscribe
from $4,000 to $4,000 towards a railroad,
but are unwilling 10 spend more than a
pittance for dirt roads. our recollection
is that the county of Mecklenburg sub
scribed something like Sil5,U0, perhaps
more to the Atlantic and Danville rail-
road We do not doubt that the railroad
has been of great value to the county
and it is perhaps worth as mnch as It
cost. But we believe that $4,000 eX-
pended in good macadamlzed roads
throughout the county would be worth
more and would enhence the lands Of
Mecklenburg county from % TO 50 per
cent. in value. But does anybody believe
that a proposition TO vote anything like
that amount TO road improvement in
Mecklenburg would carry? The farmers
would be astounded at the insolence OF
such a proposal and would vote it down
without mercy.
But this does not alter the fact that the
great need of Mecklenburg county and
of all other counties, particularly in that
section of Virginia, is a better system of
roads and the only way to get them is
to pay for them. The farmer who would
be perfectly willing to pay toll over
turnpike is unwilling to have his taxes
slightly increased TO pay interest on u
fund, when in point Of
fact the increase in his taxes would not
be much more, if any, by reason Of such
subscription than his tolls would amount
to In the course of year. All this, 10
say nothing Of the enhanced value of
his property. BY and by the people OF
Virginia will take practical view of
this question. and they will then put their
hands down into their pockets and pro-
vide a road-improyement fund adequate
to the necessities Of the case

IL is only a little while since the Specta-
tor and it's free silver associates was
| hand-in-glove with the calamity howlers
| OF Kansas. and Il was proclaimed far and
! wide that the South would have no more
10 do with the gold bugs at the North.
| but would thereafter and forever join
its fortunes with the Populists OF Kan
sas and Nebraska and other States to the
/ West In fight TO the finish against the
money power Of Wall street. SO long as
Kansas was calamity-stricken and con-
tinued to cry out and spare not our ca
lamity contemporary in Stanton had
nothing but kind regard and kind words
for the brethren IN Kansas. But now
that the Kansas folks have reformed,
now that they have become prosperous
and have ceased to complain of hard
times the Spectator disowns them and
denounces them as liars and imposters.
The tie that so recently bound has been
n1ercilessly severed and Kansas IS IN
disgrace by reason OF its prosperity.
In the estimation Of the Spectator 1t is
n crime no less than "the crime of 20
that Kansas should have dealt silver
solar picks blow by treacherously de-
inoHstrating the fact that prosperity can
be under the gold standard. The only
thing that our contemporary can do is
20 denounce the so-called prosperity OF
Kansas .as a wicked falsehood promul-
gated in the interest of the money dc
mon.
The Times is warned against the Kan
sas folks and lest our credulity be i'm
posed upon our friend I'm stanton tells
Ms that the Kansas Ananias is in the
saddle and is the champion campaign
liar Of the season. In point Of fact. how
ever, the good news which we printed
the other day from Kansas came to MS
through the medium of the Kansas City
Times which is one of the most blatant
free silver calamity-shouters In the
West. and If anybody Is to be denounced
for giving currency to the prosperity
news from Kansas. IT is this free silver
newspaper and not the late allies in Kan
sas Of the stanton Spectator.
But why should the Spectator be so
hard on the Kansas people for daring to
be prosperous? BY its own confession
the Spectator is itself enjoying a season
of great prosperity. and will be forced
after the first Of January to enlarge its
proportions in order to accommodate its
increased business. But the Spectator
seems TO be determined that nobody ex-
cept itself shall prosper under the gold
standard. l--.L-
