interesting information this week
about the good roads meeting held at
AppomattoX last Friday. 1t was Well
attended by the farmers There were
about this reform-among them, State
Highway Commissioner p. st. julien
Wilson and Congressman H. ID. Flood
The latter presented the results of
a study which he has made of the
question of good roads. He compar-
ed our county roads with those of
England and other countries where
good roads are in use, and said that
where it costs our farmers. from %
to so cents ton to haul to market
our products, it costs the good roads
people from cents ton down to 2

road Improvement, and urged that
steps be taken looking 10 an issue Of
bonds of from 100000 to $4,000 for

age when the lawyer was considered d

willingly brook the impediments set
up by Constitutions said Or. Wilson,

the groceries are matched by the shor.
yard stick in many of the dry goods
places.
Mr.. Driscoll, appointed by Mayor
Gaynor as Commissioner OF Weights
and Measures, has said that there arc
not three groceries in New York
where every pound package contains a
pound; pound packages are usually
from 10 to 40 per cent. short.
This is fearful story, hut it is a
story that ought to be told, and tic
people who practice these dishonest
methods should be exposed not only
to Sthe contempt of the public but to
criminal prosecution in the Courts. Il.
is well within the mark to say, accord
ing to the evidence that has been as
sembled on the subject, that the deal
ers in New York City steal 30,On0,OOO

Nothing better has been suggested
as to the disposition of the Colonel
than his selection as advisor in chief
of the Chinese Empire; that is to say,
If the appointment would carry with it
change of residence. If permitted to
direct" from Oyster Bay, after con-
ferences with One Lung and Hop
High, we should rather have him just
as he is, all our own. The Chinese
are heather people, and it does not
matter very much what happens to
them, although we must say that we
should be sorry for them. If he ac-
.cept the job, the Colonel should insist
upon having a lot out where the
tombs of the Ming Dynasty are placed.
We think the Colonel would suit the
Chinese exactly, and, if he didn't, no.
body in Christian lands need care.

STEALING ~ NEW YORK.

The people of New York have been
cheated out of s30,OOO,OO0 every Yearly
the system of short weights and meas
nres which have been permitted in that
God fearing community.
The current number Of the American
Review Of Reviews contains fearful
exposure of the trickery in scales and
measures that has been practiccd Tor
years in New York by the dealers In
all the necessities of life. This story
was written by Francis Arnold Collins,
who shows that two-thirds of all the
scales used in New York are three per
cent. fast or worse. THE minimum
deception of three per cent. is alone
equivalent to the interest paid by saw
ings banks or hrst-class bonds."a1 !. In
vestigations conducted by the Bureau
of Municipal Research have proved
that in Manhattan 44.47 per cent. OF
all the scales, 66,6G per cent. of all the
weights and 1851 per cent. OF tho
measures used by the dealers In New
York cheat their customers. Of Gil
