The Questions Answered.

4 number Of our Democratic contem
poraries are running an article, present
ing five questions supposed to cover
those points 10 resolution introduced
for the purpose of inquirlng into the
managem ent OF the national treasury,
by Secretary Gage. All of these ques-
tions were promptly met by the national
secretary, and as his answers have not
yet been published by these papers, will
give them from week To week until the
five are answered. The fourth is as fol-
lows:
What securities passed back and
fourth between the treasury department
and the Standard Oil company"
To this secretary Gage replied:

time held any bonds in trust for the

Road Commissioners Meet.

On last Saturday the newly appointed
road commissioners OF Lewis township
met IN this city and effected an organi,
Zatipn by selecting W. ). Clifford as
president and NJ. ID. Walker as clerk
After organizing they proceeded TO dis
cuss the best manner in which TO work
the roads thus year in order to give the
best possible service. knowing as they
do that the new ruad law makes nc
provision for expenditures from the
county revenue fund; that each road
district must keep it's roads in order
from the districts revenue. viz: the ten
cent levy and the poll tax. If this can
not lie done, then they must vote an
additional levy.
They decided on allowing 500 for mar
and team, aud fixed the poll tax at 81 90
They divided the township INTO two sub
districts. The north and south part Of
the towrship to each constitute dis
trict.
for the making OF the roads in the south
district and with }. NJ Foster for the
north district, the price being fixed at
81 90 per day fer man and team. Work
only to be done when and where ordered
ty the commissioners.
Mr. Elder is a new man, IN one sense
Of the word. but We believe he will
prove a most excellent selection. Mr..
Foster Is an old overseer and fully uu-
ders tands the work. and doubtless will
give the very best of satisfaction.
We believe the commissioners chosen
by the county court TO superintend the
road making IN this township, will com
pare with any other three men along
this line, to be found any where 10 this
part of our state. While in some res
poets they regard the law as weak, their
loyalty and patriotism will prompt their
every action to give II a free and i'm
martial trial, and, under their guidance,
we believe we will have better roads
than ever before.

As to Puerto Rico.

There has not been 10 all the history
OF our insular possessions more divert
ing, and more characteristic episode
than that of the game which has beer
undertaken in the case of Puerto Rico
by a curious combination of free traders,
anti-eXpansionists, and well, there Is no
one word sufficiently polite which
accurately describes those who would
drag the polyglot islands of the sea into
theAmericanunion and give them a share
in the government Of this continent.
The first thing was to get this coun-
try committed. if possible, to the ex.
tension of the United States tariff sys-
tenn as matter OF course to Puerto
Rico. To that end it was deemed desir-
able to convey the Impression-udeed,
categorically to declare that there had
been free trade between that island and
Spain, whence it could be argued with
some effect that this country should be
at least as generous as Spain had been
to Puerto Rico. or course that state-
ment was n deliberate falsehood.
And if that point could have been
gained, what next? Well, the people
who want Puerto Ricans to make laws
for the government of the United
States would have won their trick. For
il Puerto Rico was by right under bet
United States tariff, why, IT must be uu-
der the whole constitution, and be
eligible for statehood in year or two.
But the other two parties would have
had other cards to play. Obviously the
the island would be without adequate
revenue. and there would be a cry that
we were starving it to death more
cruelty than Spain ever did. \ revenue
must be provided. How? by direct
taxes. That was the prime grievance
against Spain. by issuing bonds? That
would mean ultimate-and rot very
remote te-bankruptcy. BY making ap-
propriatious from the United States
treasury? What howl that would raise
of ..paternalsm" and "pauperism" aud
.annexing expenditures" And in that
the auti-expansionists would win their
trick.
The Republican party had its birth in
an issue very like that which rs now pre-
septed. The Calhoun doctrine was that
the constitution, by its own force, car
ried slavery INTO the territories of the
United States The Republican party
sprapg into being from the uprising OF
the public conscience against that doc
trina. One of the resolutions of the
Chicago platform OF looO on which
Abraham Lincoln was elected president
was in these words:
THAT the new dogma that the con
stituti3n OF its own force carries slavery
INTO any or all OF the territories OF the
United States, is dangerous political
heresy. at variance with explicit pro-
visions Of that instrument itself, with
contemporaneous exposition, and with
Legislative and Judicial precedent; is
revolutionary in its tendency and sub
versive OF the peace and harmony of tBe
country.
"Tne political heirs OF those who put
forward the dogma that the constitu-
tion OF it's own force carried slavery into
the territory Of the United States now
msistain the dogma that the constitu-
ton Of IT. own force carries free trade
even into the new island territory Of the
