GOOD ROADS There is one thing that farmers and all others should keep agitating, name- ly, that we have better roads. What work is done on the roads in the fu- ture, let it be done with a view to per- manency and an improvement of the old system that was washed out by ev- ery passing rain. There can be great improvement in roads; much money has been wasted in past years, by repairs that did not repair, and every season the work had to be gone over again, and road taxes have been heavy. One half the money spent upon the roads in Centre county in the past thirty-five years, if proper- ly spent, would have put our roads in such condition that but a trifle would need to be spent now. But it not too late to do this important work properly and lastingly now, and ten or fifteen years hence, the good results will begin to tell. Money, much mon- ey,Twill be saved by getting out of the old ruts of road making. is classes, just as all classes have, and ev- er will,"cursed bad roads.

California and North Dakota sent most impressive object lessons of the peril of our Electoral system in the election of President. The vote of North Dakota has been twice revised and it now, returns the three Weaver electors as successful by 15, 50 and 88 majority respectively. The official vote of California returns Republican Elector and eight Democratic Electors as’ successful, with the highest plurality of any at 152. Taking the two highest Electors on each ticket the Cleveland majority is 152 The total vote of California is 117- 008 for Cleveland; 117,766 for Harrison; 25,226 for Weaver, and 7,187 for Bid- well.

Committers and sub-committees and delegates and conventions have talked the matter over until there is nothing more to be said. It is full time that a conclusion was reached on the subject, and that the order be given to down brakes and slow up. We are almost overwhelm ed, submerged and almost drowned out by a great flood tide of European riff- rafl, the refuse of every nation on the continent, paupers, criminals, beggars and thefmuddy residuum of foreign civilizations, We dont wonder that they want to come to this country, but the country is not being run as a philanthropic in- stitution or an asylum for the erippled and depraved of the globe. The ques- tion is a purely practical one—namely, Bhail Europe keep her best for herself and dump her worst on our shores for us to take care of? We have endured that sort of business’long enough, and the sooner we take a decided stand and shut down the gates the better, It is a great privilege for any man to avail himself of the opportunities which this Republic affords and he willing to pay for it.
