which, under the present system, IS
not possible. Then, too, this system
would bring about spirit Of rivalry
one commissioner not willing that
another have better roads than he.
Again, it would give each township
the privilege of voting bonds for good
roads, or Of maintaining them by
those liable to road duty.
Now, as to voting 100000 bonds
for good roads,, my objections are
these:
All who pay taxes will have to pay
for them, yet, they will not all be
benefited by them, for I believe be-
fore they get ten miles from town
the money will all have been spent
Then, again, according to the plan by
which it is to be operated, the roads
are to be surveyed and laid off at a
certain grade, which will. Of course,
necessitate going around the hills,
therefore throwing some Of the res
idences that are now on the public
roads off from them, which I believe
will cause dissatisfaction. | could
enumerate other reasons for my OBJ
iections but let these suffice for the
present.

CARPET-BAGGERS IN SENATE.

Washington Letter II NeE YOrk Ererin- pos+-
The influence OF the "carpet-baggers'
upon national legislation as measured bv
the legislative careers OF men who now

Wheat Duty Exorbitant.

From the Boston Hszld.
Removal Of the tariff on wheat would
not make a speculative corner impossible
But the admission free Of duty OF the
product OF the Canadian wheat fields
would make the game OF such men as
Patten more difficult. However. criticism
Of the tariff on wheat does not rest solely
on the fact that il aids IN the "cornering''
process. The Z-cent duty On wheat is far
in excess Of the difference Of cost Of pro-
ductiOn here and IN foreign countries

Mr. Mason's Mistake.

Says the Hon. Billiken Mason, OF the
State Of Illinois, and sometime United
States Senator:
The American citizen is always thunpsnz him

people As mater q fact, he IS 51st a ulain
fool He has 20 Be Jumped on. slusged, and thrown
down Two fights q stairs before he understands

Congress 70 represent hin"
There is 4 grain OF so Of truth in the
Hon BllIiken's summing up of the great
American citizen, but not much more
The voters Of this land are not chronic
fools. albeit they sometimes do some very
foolish things,
But whlle the American voter is not
given strenuously TO violent lapses-it
must he admitted, as a matter OF cold
fact, that he does. on occasions. permit his
conception OF patience as virtue to
carry him 10 amazing lengths and cloak
him in astonishing indifference. apparent
y He certainly could. If ne would. have
anything he wants by way Of govern
ment- II would not take him. in his con-
certed capacity, more than three shakes

gregation Of Congressional undesirahles
upon which he might choose to vent his
righteous displeasure. He is the real
owner OF this country, and he possesses
powers OF eviction from which there is
no appeal The medicine he swallows IS
in its last analysis. distinctly Of his own
prescribing. and II it does him no good.
he has himself TO blame alone.
IN his heart Of hearts, the average Amer
ican voter is an honest man, and means
well. He is credulous because Of that
very honesty. He is loyal because Of
it. And II he suffers many injustices
he does II, too, because he has, per-
haps. a vague sort Of notion that they
are coming 20 him, somehow-and hence
he registers complaint slowly. because he
wants to be very sure It is in order and
indicated In all the circumstances. And.
then. WHEN he does get ready TO rebukc.
he comes down hard Nothing pays
statesman less, in the long run. than
'jobbing'' the people he Is sens 10 Wash
ington to represent. A glance over the
casualty lists Of national elections VIII
show instances Of his methods OF han
ding such men. Every statesman de-
nouneed by the muek-rakers is not a
scoundrei-nOt BY a great deal, we think.
But when one is caught with the goods
here and there. that is his nnizh; he Is
