An exchange gives the following
valuable points on good roads:
Good roads have money value
to the farmers as well as political
and social value.
The difference betw cen good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference between profit and loss.
Charles Sumner once said "the
road and school master are the two
most important agents in advancing
civilization"
Good roads raise the the value of
farm land and farm products. and
tend to beautify the country
through which they pass.
Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life and for the
lack of good roads the farmer srf-
fers more than any other class.
Good roads, like good streets,
make habitation along them most
desirable; they economic time and
fare in transportation of products,
reduce wear and tear on horses,
harness and vehicles and enhance
the market value of real estate.
Life on a farm often becomes,
and result of bottomless roads,
isolated and barren of social enjoy
ments and pleasures, and country
people in some communities suffer
such great disadvantage that am
bition is checked, energy weaken
ed and industry paratyzed.

Once Prominent Man Passes
AWAY.

Charleston, W. Va, July H.
DR.. John P. Hale died this morn
ing, aged IS. He was president of
the State Historical society and
the author of several books of local
history. 1t was due principally to
his efforts that the state capital
was first located here. Thirty
years ago he was interested in
many business enterprises, oper.
ated the largest salt furnace in the
valley and owned several steam
boats, but financial misfortunes
overlook him, and for many years
he lived in comparative poverty,
devoting himself principally to lit
erary pursuits. He was the inven-
tor of the Hale system of street
paving now in use in nearly every
city in the country. He never
married.

Democratic success in this part
of West Virginia is dependent up
on the character of the nominee,
and likewise upon the degree and
earnestness and sincerity of the
effort in their behalf by the party.
The democrats can win, but be-
cause they can it must not be as
sumed that they necessarily will.
The opportunity of success pre-
sented to the democracy carries
with it the proposition that excel
lent nominees, united party action
and unceasing effort are requisites.
Our candidates must be such in
capacity and fitness as to inspire
confidence in the democratic ranks
and invite support from the oppo
sition.
The best, ablest, cleanest and
most available men should be our
nominees, around whom every
democrat will rally, and toward
whom republicans will naturally
gravitate because of their superior
qualifications.
1t does not follow that because
some republicans are displeased
with their own candidates, partly
because of the candidates them.
selves, and partly because of the
methods applied to secure their
nominations, that they are overly
eager to rush to the support of any
name that may be printed on the
democratic side of the ballot.
Such is not the case at all. Unless
prudence and wisdom are allowed
full sway in the choice of oandi-
dates there will be less assurance
of MISUNDERSTANDING Sentinel.

The FaIsehood ana Hypocrisy
OF 1t.
One of the provisions of the

One of the provisions of the
PHILIPPINE Government bill is:
THAT neither slavery, nor invol.
untary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crimes, whereof the
party shall have been duly convict
ed, shall exist in said islands,"
Of course, this does not apply to
several sultans, rajahs, etc., in said
islands," of Sulu, or Jolo, who are
not only permitted to maintain
their slaves and harems- the latter,
the worst form of human slavery
but are, with their datos, on the
pay roll of the United States gov
eminent.
True. the treaty provides that
the slaves in the islands may buy
their freedom, but if they have not
sufficient money-and few, if any,
of them have or ever will have
they must remain slaves-though
living under the starry banner of
freedom. Civil war veterans who
fought the greatest war of history
to abolish slavery under the Star
and Stripes and who thought they
did abolish it, may now guess
again.

Party Harmony.

OF course Ex-President Cleye-
land cannot submit any set of
principles for party harmony, that
will be acceptable to Mr.. Bryan.
On the other hand Mr.. Bryan can-
not submit any terms for harmony
that will be accepted by Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. Neither is he will
ing to make any concessions, and
compromise means mutual conces-
sions. While all Democrats have
well-defned ideas on the money
question, why has it grown to such
great proportions in this late day,
as to split and disrupt the party +?
The merits and the principle of the
question of finance are the same as
they have been from the time of
the founding of the Democratic
party, and yet it is only within the
last eight years that the differen-
ces in opinion relative to it have
become SO irreooncilable as to rift
the party in twain.
The extreme ideas in favor of
gold and in favor of silver have
sprung up within the last ten years
and are largely the creatures of
self-interest, and unreasonably OBJ
stinancy.
The best plane on which for the
party to unite and harmonic is
on the old line principles of De-
mocracy. Get back to the princi-
pies of honest, representative, econ
omioal government of the people,
for the people, by the people, and
the Clevelands, the Bryans and all
other good Democrats are bound to
rally under one flag. There is
neither reason nor justification for
introducing new issues and ex-
treme ideas that are calculated to
not only produce discord, but lend
to disruption.-Wayne News.

drawn upon for the relief of the
people. But Congress is afraid to
repeal this meat tariff or to enact
any law that would cripple the
barons of the Meat Trust. The
markets of the world are, and of
right, should be for the laboring
people and not for the wealthy.
AS to the connection between high
prices and prosperity it can only
hold while prices are in reach of
the masses. What is consumed by
few hundred thousand rich peo.
pie in this country is as but a drop
of water in an ocean when COM
pared with what the millions of
poCr people eat, drink and wear.
Let us make a calculation. There
are 100000 people in this coun-
try. Now suppose their living ex-
penses are increased one cent per
capita day. That makes S75O,OOO
per day. or s27,OOO,OOO per year.
But with the Meat Trust, The
Medicine Trust, The Butter Trust,
ETC., the expense, per capita, has
increased more than one cent dav.
