wooden houses in tbs United States at

GOOD ROADS AGAIN.

1t is refreshing to know that such
papers as the Norfolk Landmark and
the Newport News Press, whose read
ers are naturally more interested in
deep water than in deep mud, still are
big enough Of soul and broad enough
Of mind to advocate government aid to
the good roads fund as well as for i'm
proving our water ways.
The latter clinches the argument in
this mastery way:
mo intelligent man will dissent
from the view that national good roads
would be beneficial to more people than
the improvement Of rivers and harbors.
for where the latter vitslly affect ten
persons the former touches at MANY
points the lives and interests of thou
sands. Those who inveigh against
good roads via national assistance Ger.
Ialnly should refrain from suggesting
the desirability and necessity of river
and harbOr Improvements.
Replies to this may be made, but
none can shake it for it is uuanswer-
able.

MIR. CLEVELAND TO DEMOCRATS.

This oft-times- honored Democrat has
recently from his retirement sent out a
battle cry TO the Democrats Of the ma
ton on this the eve Of a national en-
gagement Like all effusions from his
pen il is wordy and in some respects
weighty. When he speaks Of "uue
Democrats" We begin to wonder what
he means by it? The fewor the many?
Those who stand by the colors OF those
who in the hour of battle desert TO the
enemy? Those who by their conduct
in public aud private life give and and
comfort 10 their associates or their an
tagonists? Those who prefer 10 cater
20 the wishes Of Wall street rather than
TO the wants Of the people?
With some men it is an easy matter
TO define Democracy but to do Demo
cratic work seems among the things
hard, if not impossible to do. 1t Is
easy 10 write letters and frame plat
forms, but 10 write and make only, are

"REMEMBER HIM As IN LIFE.y

When the members OF the immedi-
ate family circle of the late Senator
Hanna went INTO the death chamber
to take a last look at their dead, the
wife declined going with them, and
gave as her reason. that 81 prefer ito
remember him a. in life." And could
better reason have been given? The
desire TO look into the faces Of the dead,
even our own, is something we could
never understand. How much better
TO remember them in life when such is
possible, and we well know it Is not al
ways possible, but in her case it was as
she, worn by long and patient watch
ing, was sleeping in an adjoining room
when her husband died, and then she
wisely said: 81 will remember him
only as living.
The custom Of opening the casket in
the church or at the grave, should be
honored in the breach rather than the
observance.

The Richmond Times Dispatch saws.

The Richmond Iimes-D Dispatch says:
"ln all likelihood Congress will con-
sent 10 increase the salary of the rural
free delivery carrier from 5000 TO 500 a

cause they could not afford TO furnish
their own horses, vehicles and other
necessary equipments, and make a

made, hat don't let it stop with the

Helen Keller is without controversy
the mental marvel Of the age. On the
subject of optimism, among other
things, she has recently written;
"Once I knew only darkness and
stiffness. Now / know hope and joy.
Once / fretted and beat myself against
the wall that shut me i'm. Now / re-
i0ice iu the consciousness that can
think, act, and attain heaven. My
life was without past or future; death,
the pessimist would say, "a cOnsumma-
ton devouuy To- be wished" But a
little word from the fingers Of another
fell into my hand that clutched at emp
tiness, and my heart leaped to tie
rapture of living. Night fled before
the day of thought and love and JOY
and hope came up IN a passion Of Obe-
dience TO knowledge Can any one
who has escaped such activity, who
has felt the thrill aud glory OF freedom,
be pessimist ?'
Those of us who can see, hear and
talk and yet are dlsc01solate after read
ing words Of such cheer from one who
never looked into the face Of mother,
never heard a note harmonious, nor
uttered a welcome, ought to be asham-
ed and 60 away and hide.
