Can there be anything of more i'm
portance to the welfare of the inhab-
itants of rural communities than good
roads? If we were to answer the
question we would say, mo, emphat-
ically no!' There is no one thing
more important or necessary for the
material welfare of the country than
good roads. What an apt illustration
we have at the present stimel The
farmer is, from necessity lat home"
and you will most certainly find him
there if you can reach his abode. And
lwhy? Simply because, in most instan-
ces, he cannot leave home. OF course
we do not mean that he cannot
emerge, but that he finds it difficult
task and improbable to 90 to the
nearest tOwn-fOr practical purposes,
he cannot get out He cannot go to
market with any great profit. II he
makes the attempt he does so with a
small load, he loses much time, there
is much unnecessary wear and tear
on his horses, harness and wagon and
trip that could be made ordinarily
IN Tour or live hours consumes a whole
day. 1t seems strange that all this
has not been realized and remedied
long since, and that the counties of
Maryland for what is true of Garrett
is generally true of others have not
sent a class of men to the Legislature
'who would do something practical in
the way of securing better roads. 1t
occurs to us that the present is good
time to agitate the good roads"
question; time when anyone can see
and appreciate the deplOrable condi-
ton of the county roads, a condition
which pertains during many months
of the year. OF course, it will cost
money to build roads-there is little
of value we can get nowadays without
money-but are the people not will
ing to pay for good roads? A Legis-
lature will be elected this year, and
let US see to it that our candidates
favor good roads legislation, and
make it, if necessary, one of the quail
ifications of anyone aspiring to the
honor There is little doubt but that
we all appreciate the necessity for
good roads, the saving of valuable
Tina and tbn ,yaop and taar pD ,Uao
ons and horses, in addition to the
great convenience and pleasure result
ing from an improved condition of the
public highways. Let US make Il
strong, firm and united effort to ac-
complish this result and we will sue
coed. Come out for good roads,"
We need them and want them-why
not have them?

The Fifty-fifth Congress of the
United States of America adjourned
at noon Saturday, March 4th, after a
most eventful session. In the House
of Representatives the closing scenes
made an impression upon the specta-
tors that will never be forgotten. The
usual resolutions commencing the
Speaker for his impartial rulings as a
presiding officer were passed by a
unanimous rising vote. Mr.. Bailey,
of Texas, the leader of the minority
side of the House, offered the resolu-
tions. After this, members and visi-
tors joined with great deal of enthu
siasm in singing America, Red, White
and Blue, and other national airs, in
terspersed with cheers for Dewey and
Wheeler, closing with the doxology.
The Senate was more dignified and
perhaps more busy in the closing
hours. President Mckinley had come
over to the capitol and was kept
unusually busy signing bills. He
signed all as they came at a rapid
rate. None were vetoed. The Fifty
sixth Congress will not likely convene
till December 4th, 1899, unless some
unforeseen contingency should arise
calling for an extra session.

There is no greater truism than the
one which teaches us that we reap
what we SOW. Men do not gather
figs of thistles in these days any more
than they did in Scriptural times.
The advertiser who plants the seed of
publicity in sterile soil will have a
barren harvest. Experiments of this
sort are wasted efforts, and they
sometimes engender skepticism about
the fertility of better soils. If bust
ness men who have frittered away
their substance in obscure places will
try season of trade cultivation in
the advertising columns of THE RE-
PUBLICAN they will see the rich fruit
age of success quickly ripen before
their eyes. The field is turned for the
sower and the harvest is sure.

Rear-Admiral Schley a place among
the nine rear-admirals who will rank
as major-generals, and so he has EN-
erged from the long fight against him
even more successfully than his
friends anticipated.
Rear-Admiral Schley will now re-
ceived $1,000 a year pay with his new
place on the naval register, while
Rear-Admiral Sampson, being in the
brigadier-general class of admirals,
will be paid $500 a year. These
are the figures for duty at sea. AS a
commodore, Rear-Admiral Schley's
pay was $4,000 a year on sea duty,
with a reduction both for shore duty
and when he was on leave.
The officers who distinguished
themselves when the Spanish fleet
was DESTROYED off Santiago were rec
commended for promotion, but the
Senate did not act upon their nOmi-
nations on account of the feeling
aroused by the effort of the admins
tratiOn to advance Sampson over
Schley. The nomination of Assist
ant Constructor Hobson to be a con
structor also failed, although it was
expected that prompt action would
be taken in his case at least.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

In view of the fact that the county
is getting its publishing done at
greatly reduced rates, THE REPUBLI-
CAN thinks that the individual is as
much entitled to the benefit of a cut
rate as the county treasury, if not
more so, for the reason that he or his
property must stand the whole ex-
pense for publishing, whereas that
for the county is borne by the many
and is, consequently, not nearly so
burdensome, individually, being a
mere b0gateUe compared with the
other.
We have, therefore, decided to re
duce our advertising rates onehalf-
so cents per square for the first inser-
ton and 25 cents per square for each
additional insertiOn-on the follow
ing class of legal advertising: Mort
gagee's Sales, Trustees Sales, Admin
istratOrs' and Executors Notices and
all other legal publications for which
the poor man, widow or orphan are
bound to pay.
Let all interested parties bear these
rates in mind and insist that those
representing them, or who have the
power to sell their property, shall
take advantage of these reduced rates
in advertising property for sale or in
sorting other legal notices.

Commends Mckinley.

The Methodist Episcopal conference
in Baltimore Tuesday adopted the
resolution commencing the course of
President Mckinley in regard to the
war with Spain. A further resolu-
ton was also adopted commencing
the President to the prayers of the
conference for Divine aid in his work
The House of Representatives was re
quested to prevent Representative
Roberts, of Utah, from taking his
seat in that body.

Schley Wins at Last.

The Senate on Saturday confirmed
promoted under the provision of the
new personnel act. The nominations
followed the order of these officers in
the naval register, in which Admiral
Schley has always been two numbers
ahead of Sampson.
Under the navy personnel act there
are eighteen rear-admirals, and it is
provided that the first nine shall have
the pay and rank of major general in
the army, and the other nine the rank
and pay of acknowledgements. For
tunately, Rear-Admiral Dewey was
made an admiral just in time to give

which stream Cumberland draws her
water supply.

A CURIOUS and radical experiment
is about to be tried in Akron, O.,
apropos of the conflict that is going
on between the liquor dealers and the
temperance crusaders. The National
Liquor league has proposed to the
Akron dealers to shut up their places
of business for two years, and thus
by depriving the town of their bust
ness, rent and taxes to prove what an
inestimable blessing the liquor bust
ness is and how impossible it is to get
along without it. The National
league promises to back the dealers
up III this dire vengeance. In any
aspect of it the experiment is novel
one, and the abandonment Of the liq-
uor business will deprive the town of
$4,000 annual tax.

THE editorial in last weeks issue of
the Journal commenting upon com
munication printed in that paper adj
vocating the election of school officials
by vote of the people sounds all very
nice just now, eminating, as it does,
from an ex-member of a democratic
Board of School Commissioners who
received his appointment not because
of his qualifications as business man
or his ability as an educator but sim
ply and solely owing to the fact that
he was democrat and endorsed for
the appointment as such by the dem
ocrats of the county who used the
Board of School Commissioners as
machine for the purpose of promoting
the interests of the democratic party.
The Journal now opposes the APP
pointment of these officials except
when they are recommended by the
people and not by politicians" Was

mended by the people" when he re-
ceived the appointment as a member

Board of School Commissioners he
was so partisan in his views that re

To INVITE the ministers of the Cos
pei to witness a play is now one of
the established methods of theatrical
advertising. Hall Caine worked it to
perfection. The well known DR.. Sill
Ger, who was one of the preachers
who attended Hall Gaines play of
"The Christian' on invitation, was
asked for an opinion, and he said
that the only Christian in Hall
Gaines novel was the dog, and the
author had left him out of the play.
Now Miss Helen II. Gardiner has
written play called THE Rev. Crit
fifth Davenport" Miss Gardiner
made her debut in New York as a
prOteQee of Robert 6. Ingersoll, he
introducing her to the public as
lecturer and she proceeding to score
the preachers ruthlessly. But now,
having written a play with Meth
odist clergyman in it, her manager
sends out invitations to 500 clergy
men to come and see the show.

The democrats are very much wor-
ried. They are at sea as to what the
issue should be made in 1900 says the
Moundsyille Herald. Two opinions
now prevail very generally among
the party leaders. One would make
free silver the issue again while the
other would prefer to make the fight
on the question of expansion. One
thing is quite certain the party lead
ers are going to have q very hard
time getting. together on an issue next
time and no matter what it is made
the republicans have big advantage.
The fight against free coinage of sill
yer unlimited will make bigger
fight within the ranks of Democracy
than it did in '96 and by the wise,
judicious, safe course being pursued
by President Mckinley there will be
nothing of the expansion business
left of which to make an issue by the
time election day rolls around.
Where will Democracy turn next?

Clean Road Metal,

A principle learned from MacAdam
was that broken stone, pressed and
compacted, would cOhere together
and, by the mutual friction of its
parts, bear and distribute heavy pres
sures as well as if it actually were the
smooth and solid slab it seems
But when earth is mixed with stone
the friction is reduced by nearly one
half, the material is less compact and
firm and is much less capable of bear
ing heavy loads. Moisture effects the
volume of clay. Roads in which it is
used rut badly in wet weather, even
though they are very thick, while
thinner roads in which it is not used,
but in which the stones are pressed
together by their own angles through
adequate rolling, remain firm and
smooth. Road metal should be
clean, and free from clay. The use of
clay is attractive, because, with it,
light rolling seems to give a good sur
face, but this is only temporary and
is unsatisfactory and expensive in the
end.-L. A. w. Bulletin.
