BIRMINGHAM GOOD ROADS

"The Board of Revenue has the right to withdraw 50 eonyicts from the Ten ness Coal, Iron and Railroad company and put them to work on the county roads Since this can be done without the county violating it's contract, either in letter or spirit. it should be done without further delay. But from one cause or another the members of the present board are averse to giving the experiment a trial. The Age-Herald has no intention of questioning the motives of the Board of Revenue but in view of the board s failure to give us good roads, 1t does look as if the members should in com mon fairness to the public and also as a matter of business principle, use 50 con- victs on the roads. Sbw. if the board holds out in it's refusal to try an ex- pertinent which has operated admirably in other places and which would give, it Is believed, excellent results here, there is all the more reason why the voter should cast his ballot at the May primary only for snah candidates for the Board oi Revenue as are committed to the convict experiment.

Only the Private Deposition.

From TIT Indianapolis News. Ind.
The deposit guaranty idea seems to be
making its way in the face of the
frOwns of the ~financiers of New York
and the objurgations of the elect who
do not want it because they do not-and
If you want it you do not know
anythingl 1t never has been and it
shall not be. But are not we going
a little fast =? Never has been? When
the National Government deposits
money in banks any and everywhere
does not it insist on having its deposit
guaranteed? Yea, verify, it does. When
public funds of any kind are deposited
in banks, do the c~ustodians thereof
have a guaranty? They do. What
was the last law that we passed in
ndiana concerning the custody of
funds, but that they should be
dted according to bids received,
kanteed and interest accounted for?
|demnity bonds are an accompani-
bent Of all such deposits. 1t is only the
private depositor who is told that his
deposit shall have no guaranty and
who is told that the idea is simply a
crazy populistic doctrine.

Last week and this Mr.. Bryan's
lecture on the Prince of Peace was
publish in the RECORD. 1t seems odd
that a mar who was Denounced twelve
years ago as a dishonest demagogue,
who advocated national dishonOr and
reputation and was an anarchist
should know how to preach the honest
gospel. Many persons were deceived
and misled twelve and eight years ago
by the daily press which were paid
large sums of money to confuse the
people in order that the money kings
of the world might clinch the gold
standard OH the people, continue the
national debt of perpetual bondage for
the maintenance of the national bank
ing system, with a bank note cur
rency. The financiers have all the
laws they need TO continue their
system for several years and the reason
they are not so s%trenuonsly opposing
Mr.. Bryan's election this fall is be-
cause the laws cannot be changed if
he were president two terms. The
crisis is past. The peoples horse
has been stolen, the stable door
lock and the key thrown away, but
when told that the horse is in the stable
eany will believe it.

A fine of 81, 900 for the illegal sale of

Railroads to Cross Andes.

The prophets predict that ere many
years have passed there will be at
least three railroads across the Andes,
one of them transcontinental, the 9TH
ers connecting with steamers on the
Amazon or its tributaries. The line
which now runs from Valparaiso to
Juncal is to be extended through a
long tunnel, which in five or ten years
will be finished, and it will connect
with an Argentine road at Mendoza
The remarkable Central Peruvian
road, which rises 5000 feet in so miles
from its terminus and crosses the east
ern range at an elevation of 1866
feet, will in no great time be ready to
carry passengers to the Ucayali river,
thence there is an S00-mile journey
ere the traveller reaches the head of
navigation for ocean going vessels
And that place is 1000 miles from the
Atlantic. Another road farther to the
north will greatly shorten the jour
ney.
