a National Peril.

From the New York Herald.
There viii be about a thousand dele

vention In Chicago next June.
They VIII meet IN the Coliseum. in
the presence of at least ten thousand
spectators. who win be in a sense part
OF the convention. by their excited de-
monstrations influencing it's action.
National conventions Of both parties
have ceased to be deliberate bodies sol
emnly impressed with the far-reachine
Importance of their function. They
have degenerated into theatrical spec
tacles OF turbulent mass meetings, in
which delegates are swayed by the
prejudice, passion. or contagious furore
Of the assembled multitude.
The antics Of a strikingly costumed
woman. the shriezs OF a rustic visitor
through his hog whistle or a bit OF
Jack Cade rhetoric from one OF the or
ators excites the gallery into Mysteries
and the delegates are swept off their
feet In the psychological cyclone.

convention been brought about2 In the

There is red tape in The methods or

recent illustration in the British army
eclipses all records on this side the
water. An officer had occasion to use a
screw-driver just a PLAN, ordinary

moment of rashnes he decided not to
buy it on his own account, but made
formal application for the implement

was read. approved. indorsed, by one
officer after another up the long lad

SHIFTING THE BURDEN.

We do not wish TO discourage any
measure that win result in the improve
ment Of our public highways, but we
are not prepared to say that the
Brownlow bin before Congress provid-
Ing for the creation Of a national roads
commission is worthy OF passage. Why
should the national government con-
cern itself specifically with this Ques-
tion? AS a bureau OF the Department
OF Agriculture perhaps such a body
might be Of service in collecting data
and giving information that would be
useful; but IN the matter Of the actual
construction Of roads or in making ap-
propriatlons therefor. 1t is dificult to
see on what grounds the government
is requested to act, save on the supposi-
tion that the government is bound to
give us anything that we want.
If we mistake not. the matter of road
building is a question for the counties
or the States. because the UNITED
states government hasn't the right to
build mile Of road in any State with
out its consent. unless It condemns the
property. Then suppose the govern
ment should take the burden of road
building upon itself. wouldn't It have
a herculean task? There would be a
clamor from every quarter and taxes
that we now pay the county would
have to be turned into the national
treasury to meet the new obligations.
There is a tendency to shirlx our OBJ
legations and to ask Uncle Sam to do
everything. and We're our lawmakers to
listen to these pleas we should have a
paternalism that would soon exhaust
our resources and bankrupt the coun-
try Let's not shiris our responsibility.
II we want good roads in Delaware. it
is our business to build them. II we
don't know how, or we can't find any
body we can trust. then we are too be-
nighted to need good roads. The fact
is that we have found the task so great
