WE ARE BEHIND.

To whatever cause it may be due, the
interest in the establishment of good
roads has increased remarkably within
the past few months The increased
interest is not confined to any one 10
cality or section. 1t extends all over the
country but seems to have found it's
Northwestern limit at the boundary lire
of the state of Minnesota. Iowa, Wis
consin and IllinoiSsare well in advance in
the movement, While in the East and
South the work in its practical aspect is
advancing apace. In Kentucky the move
ment is in active progress, and there are
already hundreds of miles of well built
roads i'll the adjacent states of Tennessee
and North and South Carolina. The eff
feet in the South is making itself visible.
Knoxville, Tenn, for instance, has one of
the best, if not the best local markets
in the South. This fact is now generally
conceded to be due to the excellent con-
dition of the country roads in that vicin-
tty, Knox county having more good roads
than any other county in the South.
In the advancement which is being
made in the East, New Jersey may be
said to take the lead. The construction
of the macadam roads in that state last
year was eighty-seven miles. The chief
trouble now lies in the inability to con-
struct roads enough to meet the public
demand in that state. A system of con-
tinuous avenues has been adopted, so
that lines of good roads are now nearly
completed through the heart of the state.
Atlantic City and Jersey City are now
united by such roads, while many lateral
roads join these main ones and run out
to county seats and important towns
Farmers, who at the outset of the move
ment went into court to save themselves
through mandamus proceedings the in
! creased expense of such roads, are now
enthusiastic in support of them, and it
is highly probable that the popular de-
mand for state appropriation of at
least 100000 for good roads will be
adopted
/ The progress of the movement in the
! Middle Western states is indicated by the
fact that between Sept and %
there will be twelve good road conven-
lions held in the state of Illinois alone,
one being a state convention to be held
at Springfield on the last date named
The others are all district conventions
/ each covering several counties. They
will be attended by prominent speakers
They are all held in prosperous and pro-
gressive cities and the railroads in each
case have given reduced rates to them
! So also in Iowa and Wisconsin good
roads conventions are being provided for
at several points, the dates, however,
having not yet been decided upon.
Strange as it may appear at first
thought, the best friends of the good
roads movement are the railroad corpor-
atoms. But these concerns know how
materially the movement affects the gem
eral welfare and how greatly localities
are benefited by it. Hence their interest
in the movement. 1t would be an ex-
ceedingly gratifying circumstance if the
railroads or some other equally strong
influence could be induced to take the
necessary steps to awaken the people of
Minnesota from their strange Indifference
| to this important subject.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Secretary
hitchcock and other government officials
IN this city have received copies of a
circular signed by Edward Atkinson,
which, the author says, has been, or
WIFI be, sent to the commissioned and
non-commissioned officers of each re-
turning regiment returning from the
Philippines, together with pamphlets con-
tanning articles on the Philippine situa-
ton from an anti-imperlalist point of
view. The circular is dated Boston, Aug.
s, is headed THE Anti-Imperialist, and
is addressed to the survivors of the vol
unteer regiments returned from Manila.
Mr.. Atkinson says that having been in
formed that Geographic messages from
the mothers and sisters of volunteers
from Nebraska, urging them not to re
enlist, had been refused delivery, he
thought he would test the question. He
then recocnts his efforts to send through
the mails to prominent officials In the
Philippines the pamphlets seized by the
postmaster at San Francisco, some time
ago, for which the author of the circular
says he was threatened with prosecu-
ton for treason and sedition. because of
this effort on my part to convey infOr-
nation to you citizens and voters, which
would inform you as to the work being
done in this country to stop what we
believe to be criminal aggression in the
Philippine islands"

WHY THE BULL DOG is LIKED.


A real lover of dogs is apt To have a
preference as to type, but he is apt
also to be fond of all good dogs. no
matter what the class or their special
purposes in the world. says the Critic
rion. The dog lover is very like in this
regard the truly gallant man-he
may prefer blue eyes aud fair hair. or
the opposite, but his heart goes out
to all women who are good because
they are women and because thew
are good. To the unltSted an
affection for a bulldog seems a perver-
sion OF taste. for the bulldog is not
symmetrical, is not graceful, and
sometimes appears 60 lack intelligence
About his intelligence. however thara
is more than one opinion: about his
affection and loyalty there can be po

neither hesitation' wCvering nor
