New jerseys Roads Models.

According to bulletin No. 50, issued
by the department of agriculture, New
Jersey is building more roads and bet
ter roads for the money than any other
state in the Union. The roads being
built there will last and can be kept
up to a high standard at minimum
expense
Bulletin No. 90 is devoted exclusive
~ to good roads. In it the opinion is
expressed that all the important roads
In the United States will be macad-
am1zed or otherwise improved within a
few years. The bulletin advises the
building Of s.Cne roads wherever it is
possible and condemns dirt roads as
much more expensive in the end.

important in another way, as it keeps
the ground underneath the road free
from saturation and thereby makes a
strong foundation. 1t is the natural
earth underneath the covering that
must bear the weight of the road. 1t
really sustains in addition the weight
Of stone, etc., as well.
If this natural soil, or foundation Of
the road, is permitted to become satu-
rated with water, either by water per-
colating down into it from the surface
or from water rising into it from be-
low, 1t has not strength to resist the
wheels which at once sink into it, and
ruts are formed. But if this soil foun-
dalton is kept dry or nearly so it Is
strong and will support any load likely
to pass over it. If the water is shed
from the road to the cutters and there
remains, the water works it's way into
the earth at the foundation of the road
and causes the injury above spoken of.
Speaking Of the great Importance Of
keeping a road in repair, let a wagon
track, scarcely perceptible at first, after
a shower stand full of water and
soften the road at that spot, another
wagon passing along later sinks fur
Their into the softened track, here is q
deeper hole to hold water, soon it be-
comes a rut, then the rut develops into
a pitch hole. The soil underneath is
brought up and mixed with surface
covering, the surface covering is bro
ken down and forced into the soil.
Here, then, is bad road and per-
manent weakness, the result of a neg
lect to repair the road at the proper
time and a neglect to keep the drain

Dtscre1.4.d Prophets.

The Republican party gave the coun-
try a protective tariff. Now watch
the ever increasing exports: In 1895,
$8O7, 100000; in 1896, 1882, 100000; in
1897, $1,OOO,OOO,OOO; in 1898, $1,231,-
100000, and when the present fiscal
year is completed on the Both Of June
inst look out for larger figure even
than the last one. And yet Democrat
ic free traders Dredicted-they would
not have ii any other way-that Re-
publican protection would destroy our
foreign commerce by killing off our
exports. What prophets! And why
should the country further trust them?

Bryan's Election Would Cause Good
Times to Vanish.
The quick revival Of business when
the election OF President Mckinley
was assured, followed by a steady i'm
provement along all lines and notably
in the value of our exports, should i'm
press the voters of the country with
the necessity for standing by the Re-
publican party next year.
The matter Of the war with Spain
did not interfere in the slightest de-
gree with the steady betterment of
conditions, and the unfortunate con-
tlict In the Philippines has no bear
ing upon the industrial and CONNER
cial prosperity Of the people, 1t must
be borne in mind that the present era
Of phenomenal progress has come I'M
der a Republican administration and
largely as the result Of guarantee
that the standard Of value could not
be attacked successfully for many
years yet, If ever. The Philippine mat
ter can in no sense be taken as an ex-
cuse for opposing the retention of the
Republicans in power. To make
change next year would be to jeopar-
die every interest in the country.
The one Democratic administration
the president and both houses of con-
gress-that the country has had since
the civil war was a blight upon the
nation. Another Democratic admins
tration, with the Bryan element ia con-
troll would certainly disturb the coun-
try to an alarming extent. The matter
of trusts and so called trusts Is prob
| ably to be taken as the Democratic slo-
gan next year. But 1t must be borne
in mind that the craze for great corpo-
rations will run itself in time, and
just as soon as the people cease to
make them possible by dropping their
money into the hats Of the promoters.
Trusts are not the creature Of any par
ty. They have f1ourished in free trade
England, and they are managed in this
country alike by Republicans and Dem
ocrats. Party principles have no in
fuence upon trusts and overcapitalized
concerns of every description. The
prosperity of the present is largely re-

tiers for companies with fictitious capt.
tails of millions Of dollars. 1t is not
because the Republican party is in
power, and it is not because the Re-
publicans as a body favor such
schemes.
| We must take the facts as they are.
Almost Immediately after Cleveland
became president for the second time
a period Of depression set in and con-
! tinued until a Republican president
! was elected, and since then there has
been a steady betterment along all
lines. If Bryan had been elected in
1885, the country would be in the
depths Of despair today. If Bryan or
any one Of his caliber should be elected
next year, the good times OF today
would vanish. The Bryan element
holds control of the Democratic party,
and it is the duty of the voters next
year, as a matter Of self preservation,
to retain the Republicans in control Of
! affairs.-Wilmingt Del.) News.

and nearly 5000 in Porto Rico. In
Alaska is a total of ass soldiers and in
Hawaii 483. These two possessions
are light charge IN military sense.
Some of the troops in Cuba might be
withdrawn from present peaceful indi-
cations throughout the island, but as
the details of paci6cation are still
ahead and ger era1 election TO be held

full if the existing army of 1900 will
be much reduced.
In the Philippines are ESQ regulars
and 5O72 are on the way there. By the
end of the month Otis will have total
of 81, 622 regulars. In San Francisco,
ready to sail, are 28O1 men, which will
make the aggregate 80, 423. The three
regiments organizing at Manila, and
in service now as far as recruited, will
bring the aggregate to 34,288. Ten
new volunteer regiments, whose ranks
are now full, can depart for Manila as
seon as transports are ready. This
gives an aggregate of 48.961 fighting
men who should be in the Philippines
before the end of November. Nearly
10000 more recruits could be accepted
before the maximum of 100000 men is
reached. They can easily be obtained
long before ships could be secured to
take them across the Pacific. The
problem of ocean transportation must
be allowed for, but in any case the end
of the rainy season will find powerful
American army in Luzon, and re-en-
forcement in hand, if needed.

Fifty-one weeks in the year, Ell?
That, to The Inquirer, sounds like
rather steady work. There are 50

But never mind that. 1t is to the
point, but so are other facts. That
which we now have uppermost in
mind is the fact that there Is a silk
industry in this country.
Who is there, Democrat or Republic
an, who does not remember the saw
age Democratic arguments against the
very duties which built up the silk in
dustry in the United States2 They
were 'sthe height Of folly" because it
was not possible to foster that indus
try in this country. The conditions in
France were such that Lyons had
natural monopoly Of the business.

steel rails too. Who has forgotten
that? 1t was doubted whether Tren-
ton pottery would be a success. For q
long time we had to buy our hats
abroad. Our gloves too. American
skill and genius were of such an in
ferior order that nothing was to be
left to them. Who has forgotten that?
To which we would like to add only
that the Reading Telegram is an ex-
cellent Democratic newspaper, but in
its articles showing the progress Of the
iron and silk industries Of the United
States it is furnishing some very
strong Republican arguments.-Phila-

DRAINAGE or ROADS.
Durability Depends ON Speedy Re-
mOva1 of Water.

Durability Depends ON speedy He
mOval of Water.
In road building the chief effort
should be toward securing the best
drainage, as water and dirt are bound
to make mud. A dry road is usually q
good road or will become a good road
In time by constant usage. The excep-
ton which proves the rule Is the sandy
road. A sandy road is a dry road, but
not often good road, says S. d. Tall
man in The Pneumatic.
To assist the drainage the road
should be first crowned and then about
four to six inches of crushed stone,
depending upon the amount of travel,
put on, gradually decreasing a little in
thickness as it approaches the cutters;
then heavy steam roller passed over
it two or three times to set it; upon
this about three or four inches of finer
crushed stone should be placed and a
steam roller passed over it again. A
great deal of care should be taken not
to have the road fat on top. This hard
stone dressing forms almost water
proof covering that will last for years
if properly taken care of each spring
by putting on some fine crushed stone.
This covering will let the water
drain freely to the cutters and leave a
comparatively dry road in a few min
utes after heavy rain. This is very
