former who resolved and re-resolved,

Briefly stated. the resolutions 'ecom-
mend changes in the road law to pro-
vide that the township shall be the unit
road district; that the townshiptrustees
may levy 2-mill tax for road
purposes; that the county supervisors
shall levy mill tax on all property
of the state, to be expended under the
direction of the board, and so far as
practical for the local tax payers; and
that all road taxes shall be paid in
cash.

be accepted as certain. His present
state of health is such as TO preclude
his continuance in public life, and the
labors of another campaign would be
apt to result seriously. Roosevelt is a
more intense and conspicuous political

presidency. He is an ardent republican
of the best and most progressive type,

and clean and high minded public
man. He would make a conspicuous
candidate and a useful vice president.

A MARLIkE MnyEMEN.

The Beers have decided to test the
fortunes of war The ultimatum they
sent to Great Britain is equivalent to a
declaration of hostilities. British spirit
and pride Will hardly yield TO the def
ant tone of the Transvaal authorities.
1t may be expected that peaceful hopes
of settlement by diplomacy ended at 5
O'clock this evening the tune limit given
by the Beers for withdrawal of Eng
lish troops from the Transvaal frontier.
Should war ensue it can but be viewed
with Worldwide regret by lovers OF
peace. 1t can have but one issue, as
weighed in the balance of probability
and thar is the utter defeat of the little
republic in South Africa.
That the Beers should take the initis
alive in a movement that is tantamount
to a declaration of war may seem
strange. Looking back Of the act for
the motive which inlpelled it, it may be
surmised that, having decided not to
yield to British demands, they conelud-
ed they would reap more advantage in
an immediate contest by attempting to
overthrow or defeat the force now AT
hand than TO hazard battle With a
stronger forge, such as the British
troops en- route would form. Whatever
the motive for seeking to end the dis
pute they show a spirit that is in strik-
ing contrast with the fearful chances
they have assumed
