CENTRE HALL, PA., THURS. DEC.
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.

DANGER IN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM.
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.
If this were a close Presidential con-
test the nation would now be on the
very verge of anarchy.

MAKE EVERY IMMIGRANT PAY,
The best way to check pauper im-
migration to this country is to check
it.
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
