Stone Roads in Now Jersey.

New Jersey keeps in the front in
road building. Almost every county
IN the State is making demands for
more roads. The farmers have dis.
covered the great al vantsges of them,
aud small communities are multiply.
ing fast. There is a material i'm
prOvement in home consumption of
farm products. Burlington county,
which has IS miles of stone road.
wants ll6 more. Somerset county
has demands on Gle for 81 miles. The
'otal additional mileage asked is 425
miles. and the estimated cost is 81.
100000. The State pays one third
the cost.
The ability to construct greater
number of miles each wear arises
from better understanding on the
part of the State and counties of the
principle of road building. 1t is
claimed now that New Jersey is get
ting better roads for less money than
any other State. On that account.
Massachusetts, New York. Rhode Is
land, Virginia, Maryland, and Con
necticut have all officially inspected
New Jerseys roads, and favorably
commented on them. The State road
commissioner, in his Forthcoming
report. will say, officially:
Roads are now costing all the way
from 20 to 20 cents square yard.
la wet places, where telford is neces
sary, the cost reaches q cents. The
cost OF the ajority of our roads this
year, in the lower part of the State,
ranges from 30 to 90 cents square
yard. In the upper part of the State,
IN Morris and Passaic counties. they
are building bed of stone, to 6
inches deep. consequently the expense
where rock is mined along the road
ranges only from % to 45 cents per
square yard"
1t is only matter of few years
when New Jersey will have three
complete avenues, reaching from one
end of the State to the other. One
line will run from Atlantic CITY to
Jersey City, and from Jersey CITY to
the western boundaries of Morris aud
Passaic counties.

Political Pull" in the Army.

Political Pull" in the Army.
The Washington Post gives the fol
lowing account of "a speech made be
fore Congress adjourned in the Sen
ate by Senator Proctor, of Vermont,
who has been Secretary of War:
Senator Proctor drew a graphic
picture of the manner in which staff
appointments in the army were mad.
throi gh political influence.
The man who has the strongest
pull, said he, "gets the place It's
oftenest obtained on political inlu
ence; sometimes on personal and so
cial. Let me state the common meth
Cd by which these appointments are
secured. There is or is TO be a VA
csncy of csptsincy in the quarter
masters department. There are
about 900 first lientenants in the line
OF the army, outside of the appoint
ments recently temporarily m .de.
One hundred or more of them, some
times 300, are applicants for the
place. There are hundreds of others
just as we'll fitted who, either because
they have no influential political
friends TO back them, or. i'm many
cases, | am glad to say, because many
of the most deserving officers of the
army, from a nice sense of honor and
propriety, will never seek prefermenr
or allow others TO seek it for them.
resting their claims entirely and with
rare exceptions vainly upon their re
cords.
"These applicants" continued Sen
ator Proctor, "file b.iefs giving their
records, with letters from military
officers and personal and political
friends. These briefs are frequently
printed pamphlets of many pages
The wives, mothers and sisters of the
applicants, in personal interviews, APP
peal to the President and Secretary
of War. OF course" added Mr..
Proctor, with dry humor, ''little con
alteration is given to most of these
applications. Senator 4 or Repre-.
sentative b has relative or a con.
stituent with powerful influence be
hind him and they demand the ap
pointment and get it. The appoihtee
has received promotion to the next
grade, not upon merit, but upon in
tuence, and in doing so has jumped

The Senate listened with evident
amusement 10 Mr.. Proctor's plain
statement of how promotions in the
army were secured, but the fact that
the Senator was once a Secretary of
War led Mr.. Hawley to ask whether
all secretaries were alike.
Human nature is much the same"
answered Mr.. Proctor, "and trans

The Norfolk Dispatch reproduces the
editorial article from The Times in which
We suggested that Senator Daniel would
make a strong Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. and says:
Senator Daniel is a Virglnian, a South
ern man. he was a Confederate soldier.
Those qualities would obtain the solid
vote of the Democrats of the South.

obtain the favor Of the powerful Demo-

Illinois and perhaps Wisconsin. Having
these, the weak Western silver B@pub-
lican and POpulist States could be spared.
They count for little al best
That seems 10 as 10 be an intelligent
summary Of the situation.
The Fredericksburg Star says:
"Richmond city has valuable privil-
eye in her street railway franchises, and
her councimen seem disposed to make
the most of them for the city The time
has not yet come Tor governmental opera
ton Of public utilities, but We believe
these valuable privileges should yield an
income TO the people as well as to those
individuals exercising them. and to that
end should be leased or sold for term
Of years at a price proportionate to their
value"
No doubt Of il. II is a valuable privil-
ege for a company to be permitted 10
operate a passenger line on the streets
OF a city. All such companies SHOULD
be made to pay as much as the privilege
is worth. But the city cannot afford TO
exact so much revenue from such COM
panies as TO impair the service. 1t will
make very little difference 10 the people
of Richmond generally whether the city
receives $4,000 or $1,000 of revenue from
the street railway companies. but
good. quick, comfortable service is mat
ter I'm which every man. woman and
child in town is directly interested.
