DEATH OF DR.. BISHOP.

In the death of DIR. George
w. Bishop, Snow Hill has lost
one of her most useful and esti-
mable citizens, and the people
of the county a warm friend
and an earnest advocate of all
matters pertaining to the pub
lie good.
For nearly two score years,
DR.. Bishop has been closely
identified with the business in
terests of Snow Hill and COM
munity, and he has given his
aid. moral and financial, to
many ventures which at incipi
ency and formation, were weak
and lettering. but which are
now on a solid basis. and
fiourishing and prosperous in
situations. Out of his means he
has contributed largely to the
success of others, and out of
the goodly store of his manly
and upright qualities, he has
set shining example of a kind
and benevolent gentleman, of
a courteous and considerable
friend, and of a generous and
magnanimous benefactor.
Coming to his prime at a time
when his country was passing
through stirring times, it was
but natural that he should take
prominent part, and should
himself become a great part of
them. From time to time he
has been called upon to serve
his county, which he has al
ways done acceptably, and he
has also served his state with
honor and distinction. Full of
honors and of years he has gone
on that long journey from whose
bourne no traveller returns. His
flesh shall move no more among
us, but the spirit of his life
shall not pass away, but shall
be kept alive in our memories.
We would be building well,
if our actions were controlled
by the same high motives, if
our thoughts were on the same
high plane, and our deeds were
guided by the same generous
and unselfish spirit. That he
should die so suddenly. and al
a time when apparently in ro-
bust health. is most impressive;
while it was both fitting and
appropriate that deaths vista
ton should come to him in the
office where he had spent Sc
many years, and i'm the discus
sion of an institution. with the
formation of which he had been
closely identified. Herein, is
it exemplified, that in the midst
of life is death; but may we sc
live, that when our summons
comes, we may lie down as
peacefully.

FOR PRESIDENT:
HON. A. P. GORMAN,
Of Maryland.
MR.. GORMAN THE TAN.

Some months ago the MEssEN-
GER predicted that when the
Hon. A. p. German took his
seat in the United States Senate
he would at once be accorded
the leadership of the Democrats
of that body. 1t is not alone
that Mr.. German is an astute
politician that the Democrats
have placed him in command
but because he contains all the
elements of a successful leader
of men. He possesses statesman
ship of the highest order and
has the confidence of the Demo
cracyr The leading newspapers
of the countrp, regardless of
their political tendency. point
to him as the leading Democrat
of the country. Mr.. German is
not an obstructionist and will
not oppose Republican party
measures just because they orr
ginate with Republicans, but he
will exercise that good common
sense and judgment for which
he is so justly noted and will
once more put his party in the
Senate to the front, where it be-
longs, as a party of ideas and
action.
To-day the eyes of the Demo
cracy are turned to him, and
there are many more Democrats
who desire him to be the Presi-
Dental nominee of their party
than who desire any other man.
We who live in Maryland
should be proud that we have
such a distinguished citizen
representing us in the first law
making body in the world, and
the name of Maryland will once
more be coupled with those
states which are represented by
statesmen. Let us show our ap-
probation of his worth by max
ing a united effort to have him
elected President of the United
States. His election will do
more to advance the State of
Maryland than anything that
has been done in years. With
this idea in view we proudly
raise the name of Hon. Arthur
z. German, of Maryland. for
the Presidency at the head of
the editorial columns of the
MESSENGER. We know this is
an old-fashioned method but
we are Old-fashioned ourselves.
We have never feared to express
our opinion, and as we favor Mr..
German for the Presidency it is
our duty to show to others that
he is worthy of their support.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The action of the County Com
missioners in discarding the old
plan by which our roads have
been worked, and in adopting
a new and improved system.
should be commended by all
the taxpayers of the county.
Indeed, any movement whose
definite aim and ultimate end,
tends to the betterment of our
public roads and highways.
should be hailed with applause.
The new system does not inn
pose any additional tax upon
the county, inasmuch as the
Commissioners are merely
making use of the appropriation
already at hand. Reports from
rarious parts of the county dur
* the past winter, show that
Ime of our roads have been in
very deplorable condition, in
,me places almost impossible,
in consequence of which, the
ublic has been subjected to
reat inconvenience. The say
g that all roads lead to Rome
has passed into a proverb, and
we might paraphrase this by re
marking that, if all roads in the
ounty lead to Snow Hill, much
the way is through mud and
lush in the winter, and sand
md dust in the summer. The
building of roads was an art
with the Romans. After the
ccupation of a country, their
rst care was given to the con-
ruction of roads.-which at
nee, afforded facilities for ex-
editious travelling, and the
Wifi mobilization and transfer
troops from one locality to
mother. When the English
ettled in America, the hand
nj of emigrants made no sys-
ematic effort at road-structure
FOR the country lay too vast
before them, and they gradu-
ally imbibed the customs of the
Indians with whom they came
in contact, and initiated their
example of following a trail
through the painless forests.
Even as late as 1S4S, when the
gold fever started the tide OF
emigration toward California
we find the band of eager emf
grants burning their bridges
behind them. 1t is a brave
people that will thus cut them,
selves off from the outside
world, but a time favorable foI
the performance of brave deeds,
