A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The New York legislature has lately set aside S50,O0O,0O0 which is to be de voted to the cause of good roads. This allowance on top of the voting of $101,- .000,0C0 for the improvement of the Erie canal would seem to put our New
 York friends in the class of cranks when it comes to the question of good roads. But it's a mighty good mania fo have, and many western state could follow New Yo-k's example even if she didn't vote more than S1,000,000 te the cause in question, with the re- suit that the hauling of produce to market would be i1nmeasurably cheap ened, while the highways would be i'm proved both from the standpoint of looks and comfort iH traversing them. Western legislators ought to go to York state and find out what is at the bottom of this good roads movement.
