OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

That there is room for reform in the
methods employed in the repairing Of
the public roads in this county must
be admitted by any one who will con-
scientiously examine into existing con-
ditions. We do not know that either
party is to he specially blamed for the
practices that have grown up under a
loose application of the laws relating
to public roads. The fault principally
Les in the fact that the use of labor
saving machinery is almost entirely
discarded. Large numbers of men are
employed TO shovel dirt that could be
moved at one-teDth the cost with road
machines or even with horse scoops
If the same men were employed in
putting gravel or stone in the road
beds, thus making the improvements
permanent. how much better it would
be for the county and for the ax-payers!
AS it is done now, in most cases, there
is no permanency in the work; and the
loose dirt and mud, thrown into the
roads Ivy human power at an enor-
nous cost, is washed away by the first
frcshet, and the same work has to be
done over again the following season,
if not during the same season, to make
the roads even passable
This goes on year after year, and
immense sums of money are virtually
wasted. In the meantime the public
is subjected to the Inconvenience and
expense of having to use bad roads,
and the county is deprived of the nat
ural advantages which it should enjoy
from its proximity to Washington city
by the lack of improved highways.
We allow methods of labor on the
public roads that no intelligent or en-
terprising farmer would for day toll
crate on bis farm unless he was can
didate for bankruptcy.
Unfortunately no end to these ruin
Gus and unbnsiness-like methods is in
sight. Ii the Democrats win the cleo
tion an effort at reform may be made.
If the Republicans win, the present
conditions, which are probably worse
than they have ever been, will continue.

JAPAN NOW A WORLD
POWER.

Life among foreigners here under the
new treaties giving Japan place among
tirst-class nations, is progressing as
smoothly as under the old, and the fears
of those who imagined that on July 1. all
foreigners would be carried away to Jail,
have not been justified.
Japan is summoning all her energies,
backed by her pride, to show the world
that she is equal to her new responsible
ties, and to deserve new position in the
family of nations There will be no trou-
BILE if those high in authority can prevent
it.
The chief difficulty will conc from pet
ty officials, who usually are the ones with
whom foreigners come in close and daily
contact. A recent occurrence in Osaka
furnishes an illustration. A foreign lady
out for walk with her little daughter
was stopped by 4 policeman who, point
ing to the girls bare arms, insisted that
she should be taken home and properly
dressed In the native crowd which gath
cred was a japanese boy stark naked
with others Of various ages and both sexes
in state of seminudity. While there is
no doubt that the ovelzealous cop will
have to suffer severely, the matter is
arousing general comment as well as fun
among the foreign community.
Yokohama has been rejoicing in the Wis
it's of returning American soldiers. Last
week the Government transports brough,
the Nebraskans, Utahs and Pennsylva
mans. Nearly $500 men for two days
thronged the streets, and there was not ;
single arrest for drunkenness, nor the
slightest occasion for police interference
Their tall forms attracted universal atten
ton, while their faces bore witness to thu
terrible hardships they had undergone
and elected general sympathy.
The coming of the first fleet of trans
ports was unexpected, and the American
community was unprepared for it. Blu
now the ladies have organized to give al
the boys who land here foretaste of TIT
reception which awaits them at home.
Next Sunday the Colorados are to come
on the Warren, and everything will b.
| done to show them that Americans Twin!
abroad have not forgotten the dutie
of hospitality, nor are lacking apprecia
ton of those who have been fl lighting TO
their country's flag

TO ADVANCE PRICES OF
SHOES.

At a meeting Monday of shoe mandfac-
turerS, held at the rooms of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, delegates
were appointed to represent the trade of
Baltimore at a meeting of shoe manufac-
turers to he held in Philadelphia.
The object of this meeting is to consi-
er the situation throughout the country
and take steps looking toward an advance
in prices. This action, it is explained, is
necessitated by the steady advance in the
price of leather and the fact that jobbers
insist that the character of the grades be
fully maintained. The advance in the
price of the raw material has been, it is
said, from 90 to 40 per cent. without a
corresponding advance in the price of the
finished product.
Delegates chosen at the meeting were
+. j. NJ. Carver, of the Dixon Bartlett
Shoe Company; W. II. Clarke, of Clark
Culinary Il Co. and James Clement, of
the Clement Ball Manufacturing Com
pany. 1t Is likely that the Philadelphia
meeting which is the result of move
ment instituted by the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION of Cincinnati. will continue
several days and will bring together a
large number of leading men in the trade

AGGRESSIVE PHILIP.
PINE CAMPAIGN,

With the advent of a new Secretary
of War, says the Philadelphia "Times,' y
it is very evident that there is to be a
more vigorous prosecution of the war
against the Filipino revolutionists.
Secretary Root, who Las just been in
conference with the President at Lake
Champlain, announces that there will
be $4,000 men at Manila ready for
active service at the close OF the rainy
season, and that if these are not enough
more will be furnished. He promises
further that all the arms and supplies
necessary will be provided to make the
army a well-equipped one. AS Secre-
tary Root is a man of energetic action
in all that he undertakes it may he as
sumed that these promises will be made
good.
Public confidence in the success of
the next Philippine campaign would
have been strengthened if Secretary
Root had been able tc announ, &c that
the new Philippine army of 80, 900 men
would be led by commander in whose
military ability there is unquestioned
public confidence. His failure to do
this, or rather his refusal to say any
thing about change of commanders.
furnishes the onl v cause for doubt in
the public mind as TO the speedy and
complete success of the American
armies in the Philippines. Notwith-
standing all that has been said and
written by way of defense or apology
for General Otis, the public verdict is
that he is failure as a military COM
mander, and that no notable success
may be expected while he remains liz
command
1t is hardly conceivable, however,
that the new War Secretary will risk
the failure of his energetic war policy
by neglccting to provide competent
commander for his new army Failure
to do this would stamp his administra-
ton with incompetency from the very
outset, and this can hardly be less ap-
parent to Secretary Root than it is to
the public. A well-equippcd, well-pro-
visioned army is now certain to be at
Manila in time to engage in active
operations as soon as the rainy season
ends, and all the conditions lead to the
inevitable conclusion that it will be
under the command of a general who
can handle it wisely and will not be
afraid to tell the truth about what he
is doing. f this shall prove to be the
case the Filipino war will not outast
the next campaign.
