the initiative. In its last issue it says !:
York county is recognized as a pioneer
in road improvement, as it was in the
adoption of the stock law more than 20
years ago, and it has more miles Of ma
cademized roads than any other county in
the state, we believe. 1t is in position to
experiment on the plan proposed, and
with the spirit Of the road improvement
existing there, it will not be out of the
range Of probabilities that one or more
townships will act upon the suggestion
to issue bonds. 1t is too late to put the
plan into operation for present relief of
the people, as it would be necessary to
obtain certain legislation in advance of
the popular vote, which will be requisite
to authorize All issue of bonds for any pur-
pose, but the agitation of the matter will
bear fruit in coming years, and we shall
confidently expect the citizens of York

A Washington dispatch says it is
believed that when congress assemblies
there will be considerable agitation of
the question of abandoning the gov
ernment's participation in the Paris
exposition. Already congress has ap-
propriated 81 100000 for the purposes
of the proposed exhibit, and there is
practically nothing further for this
country to do. Several congressman,
including Jefferson M. Levy, of New
York, have announced it as their pur-
pose to introduced resolutions looking
to the withdrawal of the support of
this government on account Of the
Dreyfus case. There is a very general
opinion that such action would result
in the severance of friendly relations
with France; but in view of the out
rageous verdict of the French court
martial, such relations are not altogeth-
er desirable. Washington officials are
also of opinion that the Dreyfus ver-
dict will probably defeat the ratifica-
tion of the pending treaty with France,
when the same comes before the senate.
