THE STATE ROADS COMMISSION
VS.. THE TRACTION ENGINE

From the ElktOn Whig.
Last September the State Roads
Commission sought an injunction
from the Frederick County Court
against a number OF traction engine
owners in that county. prohibiting
their using the State Roads with en-
gines equipped with exposed cleats.
The Court denied the Injunction on
the ground that the highways should
have been designed to Withstand the
use of tractors which were prior
users Of the road. The State Roads
Commission. in arguing for the in
junction. urged that the tractors
should be equipped with smooth

delphia, submitted Last April, was
finally acted upon. after "dillY-dally-
il g for six months with the matter
for no good reason at al. Now il is
discovered that the project cannot be
installed at the original figure be-
cause of the advance in the price of
material. Those in the Council who
have been trying to thwart the will
of the. people are no doubt clapping
their hands with glee. Now it is
proposed TO assertion il the people
will petition the next legislature for
permission to dispose Of the bonds at
8 per cent instead of 4; hoping TO
realize more than par at public sale
and thus have enough more than $20,-
GOO to proceed with the project. We
predicted Council would make a mess

Of petitioning the legislature for the
appointment of a competent commits

COMMENDS GOVERNOR MILLER.
From the Newark Ledger.
The State of Delaware is to be
commended for the prompt action
taken by the authorities to stamp out
the foot and mouth disease Of cattle.
1t is too bad that the disease had
gained such headway before It was
discovered Hundreds of valuable
animals had to be killed. There was
no other remedy. To allow this
disease TO spread meant great loss
TO farmers and dairymen.
II is to be regretted that the dis
ease was not discovered earlier. Many
valuable dairy herds might have
been saved.
The prompt action Of the State
authorities in not allowing the dis
ease to spread is very creditable. The
strictest vigilance should be eXer-
cised by those whose dutys it is TO
carefully see that none Of the laws
are violated.
With careful work the disease can
be checked In its spread, and finally
] wiped out.

@THE CATS OF LEAVENWORTH."
The following verses we're written

dismal walls of woe;
They've got their marching orders
and they're packing up to go.
The children all are crying and the
girls are feeling sore.
And every house along the line has
Grape upon the door;
For the pretty, witty kitty cats have
been declared a pest,
And the guard is fixing bayonets to
speed the parting guest.
Big cats, little cats, formed in double

From the Wilmington Labor Herald
At Pullman's, over the Eleventh
street bridge, this city, something
like eighteen cars have been burned
within the last few weeks. These
cars were not burned by strikers,
neither were they burned in wrecks,
as they sometimes are But they
were burned all the same, and by or
ders of the firm. The cars. not one
of which cost less than $4,000 to

FOR 4 s0LpIERS MONuMENT.

FOR 4 SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
From the North East Star.
A movement is afoot to erect a
soldiers monument at Elkton, and
TO this end a public meeting has been
called 10 be held at the county seat
on Saturday afternoon, December Il.
The setting up of enduring stones
TO commemorate historical happen
ings, or as tribute to personal
worth, is an ancient custom that has
lost nothing through the passing
years. II symbolizes appreciation
aud gratitude, and perpetuates the
remembrance of great men or great
deeds.
Half a century ago our own Nation
founded upon the idea of human
rights-was put to the severest test.
Should this government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people
perish from the earth? And naught
but the blood of patriots offered in
sacrifice on their country's altar
could bring a satisfying and eyerlast-
ing answer That Offering was made
and not made in vain. A reunited
Nation, with a happy and prosperous
PEOPLE, is the outcome.
Memorials to this. to the patriot
ism and to the valor of the men who
stepped forward at their country's
call have been erected at many
places throughout this broad and
now happy land.

Famous FIaopote,

The Kew Gardens flagstaff, reputed
to be the tallest in the old world, has
had to be taken down owing to time
and decay having weakened it at many
places in its $50 feet length. Experts
will have to decide whether it can be
regretted. For over fifty years it has
been landmark in Kew Gardens, and
on the death Of reigning sovereign
and the coronation of his successor it
has borne a specially large Royal
Standard sent down by the board of
admiralty. This year, when it came
to be examined by the men who are
hauled to its giddy height by ropes,
it was found to have SO many weak
places that it was deemer advisable
to lower it to/the ground, and this has
just been done. The spar is a remark
ably fine specimen of Douglas fir,
and was sent to Kew Gardens by Mr..
Edward Grey, a timber merchant in
the Canadian trade. in 1851. It came
from Vancouver island. and was then
$50 years old.-London Mail.

Manners in Russia.

Nine. Viardot, the famous musician,
gives one a poor impression of Rus
sian manners from the account she
narrates in her Memories and Adven-
lures" of a visit to the Crimea in 1886
Their want Of logic" amused her.
1T enables them to be scrupulously
clean in their persons" she says, and
yet they are not nice in their table
manners. One substitutes his finger
for his fork; another drinks out of the
cream-jug. third cools his perspirin2
brow with the break-knife.'
But, if their manners were doubtful
their music was divine. The whole
nation is thoroughly musical, down to
the lowest" And in the matter OF
manners, as in other things, Russia
has Travelled long way since 1886.
