The Free Trade Resolution.

The Free Trade Resolution.
Inasmuch rs the resolution requests
that free trade 90 into effect the 25th OF
the present month, and ii is desirable
that mail copies of the presidents

fact shall he promulgated III advance Of
that date simultaneously in the United
States ana Porto REQ, it will be seen
that little time Is available for the
work to he done, alid the Maytlowpr
will start northward Immediately.
The approaching return of Governor
Allen to the United States has had the
effect Of reviving tile old rumor of his
intended resignation aS governor Of
Porto Rico. 1t Is n fact that Governor
Allen was induced to return to Porto
Rico on the last occasion by President
Mckinley under the special plea that
he should bring TO Il fitting conclusion
the task he had assumed of installing a
complete autonomous and self support
ing system of government.
1t Is conjccturcd that on the govern
or'S own opinion as to the completeness
Of the work will depend his return 10
Porto Rico. Meanwhile his friends
here and the officials with whom he
has had communication declare that hr
has not notified them Of Il fresh inten-
tion to resign.

Good Roads q Necessity.

Industrial Association adjourned to
meet next year in Memphis, Tenn.
Before adjourning the following reso.

Whereas, The territory Of 1hany Of
the Southern States is entirely or
largely remote from water navigation,
and,
Whereas, The more prosperous coun-
tries of Europe have realized from the
earliest periods the vital importance
of good roads, and that much OF their
prosperity depends upon a system Of
fine roads, and,
Whereas, We Of the South realize
Che great disadvantage under which
we are marketing our valuable pro-
ducts; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we. the Southern In
dustrial Association in convention as
sembled, do hereby earnestly urge
upon the attention of all good citizens
of the South the Importance of the
Improvement Of the roads, and do
hereby memorialize the Legislatures
of the various Southern States to take
up this important matter and to enact
such laws as will tend toward the bet

Woman's Tucked Skirt Waist.

The shirt waist that closes at the
back is a marked feature Of the sea-
son and is peculiarly effective when
made of fine material stitched in tucks.
The smart May Manton design shown
is admirable in every way. The orig
inal is of white lawn with insertion
of Valencennies lace and is charming
ly simple; but the style lends itself TO
many materials and combinations.
The front is tucked to yoke depth
only and 80 forms soft, becoming
folds below, but the backs are tucked
to the waist line to give the snug lit
essential to correct style. The sleeves
are novel, and altogether charming,
being laid in two groups of tucks, four
each, with lace between. At the
wrists are soft cuffs of lace and tuck
ing and at the neck is q stock to match.
As shown, the material beneath the
lace is cut away to give transparent
effect, bu: the insertion can be put on
as applique if preferred.

Paners Build Up Towns.

The effort of any newspaper to
build up q town Is practically nullif1ed
unless it is backed up by the business
men Of the town. A stranger turns
from the news columns Of a paper to
Its advertising columns, and If he fails
to find there the business cards Of the
merchants and professional firms he
comes to the conclusion that the ed
itor is not appreciated, in which case
it Is a good place to keep clear from.
No town ever grew up without the
active assistance Of its papers. Nor
can papers grow and build up their
localities without the assistance Of the
town.
Business men should realize this,
and remember that in lending support
to their local paper they are not only
building up their own business, but
are helping to support that which is
steadily working for the growth OF
the whole town.
In fact the newspaper is so impor-
tant to community's welfare that
If there is town struggling along
without one the merchants are keep
ing money out of their own pockets by
not seeing to it that one is established

Penalty For Neglected Highways.


TT HE Postoffice Department is
trying to use the rural free
delivery experiment as an
argument in favor OF good
roads, and where the experiment has
failed to improve the bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned.
The department has gone over the
records to see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition of the
roads last spring, and has sent out
notices that unless the roads are i'm
proved to prevent similar interruption
this spring these routes will have to
be abandoned. The records show that
a great many routes were interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were forty of these routes in
Iowa, twelve in Illinois, ten in Wis
consin and q less number in other
Western and Southern States. The
record against Iowa is not so bad as
it seems because that State has a
great many more rural free delivery
routes than any other State, and, like
Illinois, the State suffers at times
from bad roads which cannot be i'm
proved.
The department admits that 1t will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty in building roads in Iowa and
Illinois, where the depth of the soil
makes it almost impossible to con-
struct roads that will be passable at
all seasons of the year. 1t is admitted
that there are routes in Illinois and
Iowa where everything possible has
been done to make good roads for the
greater part Of the year, but during
the spring freshets these may be i'm
passable for few days.
The order is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are indifferent
to the condition Of the roads and have
allowed them to become impossible
through neglect. The inspectors will
report on the routes that are inter-
rupted this spring, and where the in
terruption is due to neglect OF the
roads they will be abandoned. Where
the interruption is due to conditions
which cannot be overcome the depart
ment will make allowances and con-
tinue the service.
But the department regar6s rural
free delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
she advantages Of the service the de-
partmnt holds that the experiment ls
q failure. The demand for rural free
delivery is greater than the deparY-
ment can meet with the appropriation
by Congress, and it will favor those
communities which show most appre-
citation by building roads over which
the Government can send mails with
the least possible interruption.

An Interesting Possibility.

The market for bridges Is far great
er in the United States than elsewhere.
The States have now 10000 miles Of
railways, and it has been estimated
that there is an average Of one span
of metallic bridge for every three
miles Of railway. This gives $4,000
bridges on existing lines, without In
cluding those required for new lines.
The increase in the United States OF
the weight Of cars and engines has re-
suited in wonderful economic changes.
This increase Of weight Of rolling stock
has led to the renewal Of the $4,000
old bridges by stronger and heavier
ones. This demand has brought Into
existence many bridge building COM
panies, and they can we'll afford to
equip themselves with the best labor
saving and accurate working machin.
cry, regardless Of first cost, as they
know it would seldom, if ever, lie Idle.
