RULE OF KING MUD.
The Annual Lamcntntion About His
Cruelty and Tyranny Now
Appears I'm Print.

Mud! mud,. mud,.l
The newspapers from every corner Of
the nation bring the same old annual
spring moan. Only the grief appears TO
be growing a little more inconsolable
each year as the public becomes more
cognizant Of the fact that bad roads are
almost us unnecessary as they are un-
pleasant and Improbable. a whole
paper could be filled with complaints
like the following from the Decatur
(lll) Republicans:
'"The country roads are now in a
worse condition than they have been for
q number of years past. tits simply inn
possible for those who have not at
tempted TO drive over the roads TO
realize what condition they are in. No
grain at all is moving and the traffic Of
the farmers is practically blocladed A
few days ago an empty wagon was
stuck in the mud on the streets of Mon
ticello, and the roads outside of the vii
lage were even worse"
Or like this from the Latrobe pa
Daily Clipper:
'The bad condition Of the country
roads is known to all who travel them.
but our milkmen, who have 20 travel
them early every morning. have the
most experience. As an example we
note the breaking Of w. w. Nichols
wagon while coming to town with milk
this morning. 1t is thought by some
that the bottom has fallen out OF some
spots and wagon wheels should be
steen feet high to pillow through them
If the object lesson to be derived from
a study of the "horrible example" real
ly counts for anything. the roads in
every part Of the country must soon
show a marked improvement.-L. A. W.

Andrew Carnegie states that he
knows of nothing in this country that
will compare less favorabiy with the
European countries than the public
roads in the United States. Only one
who has coached and Travelled year aft
er year through Europe can estimate
the advantages that would flow from
similar roads in our own country. II
would really change the conditions Of
the life in the rural and agricultural
districts. This is the kind of work that
Justifies the issue of bonds If necessary

deiaY such work.

The citizens of Rolfe, la, woke up 10
the fact that they were money losers
because of the poor condition OF their
streets and highways. They got TO
talking, and from talking TO working.
and a subscription paper good for $3.50
was obtained from the business men.
This was presented to the city council
and a similar amount voted from the
city treasury. This was supplemented
by liberal donations of team work by
the farmers. Gravel pits were bought
and opened, and on four leading roads
out of the city all winter force of men
has been hauling gravel. Rolfe will
have good roads hereafter, and people
from afar and near will go there to
trade because of it.

nail picllets to this. Bolt on hinges,

quired, and there are no notches. joints
or holes to hold moisture and rot. 1t is
also a very nice gate, not bad even for
the front entrance. Almost any sort Of
botch farmer can make it. the saw and
Ratchet being the only tools necessary
to use in its construction. Ii can be
easily made TO fit when the gate opening
is on a hillside and when one post is set

not own a dollars worth of property in
Silver Bow county. But, from all ac-
counts of it, it is an enterprising COM
pany and is not built on the frame
shack order. Last fall the Miner earn
estly advocated the granting of a
freight franchise to the street railroad
company for hauling ore from Clark's
principal streets to Clarks smelter,
south Of the city. Now the Miner is
holding up it's scissors in wholly horror
at the remote possibility of some other
company hauling ore through Butte
And no other company is proposing it..
In its nominations of aldermen the
democratic party was particularly for
tunate All are strong, capable men

and cannot qualify. The charge has
not been denied. 1t is also charged
and not denied, that O. N. Perry, the
candidate in the Second ward, has no
property in his own name Mr.. Henry
Kroeger, the republican nominee in the
Sixth ward, was known as a democrat
up to the day when he received the re-
publican nomination for alderman, and
as a matter of fact he went to num-
Der of delegates to the democratic con-
vention two weeks ago and solicited
their support to get him the democrat
ic nomination for city treasurer
Mr.. Nicholas Hughes. the democratic
candidate for city treasurer, is well
known to the citizens of Butte as an
honest, faithful man, who will make a
capable and efficient treasurer. He is
worthy of the support of all good citi-
zens, and he will be triumphantly
elected.
The Clark people and the Heinze peo-
pie are particularly venomous against
Normoyle, the democratic nominee for
police magistrate. The Clark people are
after him because he would not accept
a bride to vote for Clark for senator
The Heinze people are trying to Feat
him because he would not aid in the
dastardly attempt to wreck the Rnston
& Montana company and voted for H.
B. 1872. A man Of Normoyle's calbre is
a man for police magistrate. He does
what he believes to be right regardless
of all considerations that may be Of
fered.

Up to date the Butte Miner has said
nothing against the qualifications Of J.
H. Mccarthy to serve as mayor of
Butte. 1t is an open secret that Mr.
Mccarthy was the choice of the Miner
Tor the nomination. 1t was in favor of
him up to the time that the resolutions
denouncing Clark and his bribery We're
passed by the democrats of Butte in
vote. Now, had those resolutions not
been passed, the Miner would be sup
porting Mr.. Mccarthy to-day instead
of Mr.. Kirk. 1t would not be saying
anything about its corporation buga-
boo or about the danger of a reduction
in wages. 1t would be urging the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mccarthy, But the resolu-
tons did not suit the Miner and, as a
consequence, it suddenly becomes fear
full that the Standard Oil company will
make its office in Butte's city hall and
ard has no fear that Mr. Mccarthy will
deed the city over to the Standard Oil
company or to anything else.
The Miner processes to be afraid that
if the democratic ticket is elected, the
Standard Oh company may want to
run a railroad through the streets of
Butte. What an absurdity, The Stand

AS our readers are aware, we have
been able TO secure for them this year
an unusually advantageous clubbing
arrangement, which includes The Iowa
Homestead, its Special Farmers Insti-
tute editions, The Poultry Farmer,
The Farmers Mutual Insurance jour
nal, and The Humane Alliance, togeth-
er with our own paper, all for the sur
prisingly low figure Of 81 SO. Nothing
like this has ever before been offered
toour farmer readers. The Homestead
with its Special Institute edition for
January contains 81 pages of prac-
tical farm information, and reading
the paper and it's Special Institute edi-
tons for year practically amounts to
liberal agricultural education. The
Special Farmers Institute edition for
the present month considers four inter-
esting, practical topics relating tn farm
prosperity, sheep husbandry, winters
work, ETC., and on them more than 200
practical farmers and farmers wives
contribute their experiences, making
1t remarkable collection Of the best
