GIVE US PERMANENT ROADS.
,Vo nre too apt to Ignore that which
we trainple under foot. The ancients
knew and appreciated more the Irn
portanco of good public roads than we
do to-day. .Many of the roads built
by the ancient Romans and traveled
by the proud Roman conquerors re
main to this day. This Is particularly
the case In Turkey, where they have,
ever since the Roman era, been in use
with little or no repair. Of tho num
erous evidences left by them of their
greatntesand civilization these roads
are the seal and stamp.
Have we any Romaus In our Bor
ough Council? Wo need them, and If
the spirit ot refoim our Councllmen
profess is more than skin deep they
will prove themselves "the noblest
RomanB of them all" by commencing
good work on the streets early and
push it ahead until we have roads
upon which we may look without
blushing, And, above all, give us
roads that will not, like the flowers,
bloom In the spring arid die in the
fall, like fhe leaves. Where good
roads prevail you flud a community
loth to give them up. It Is a spirit of
economy that restrains the work, and
it is false economy. There are few
blessings that any community can
know equal to that of having first
clans roads. Circulation, which Is the
backbone of business, is facilitated by
good roads. But unless they are made
first class, to commence with, you will
never have them and you throw
away the money you invest in them
Free trades and free silver coinage,
In their inevitable results, mean the
reduction of home wages and em
ployment and the payment of all re
maining wages aud employment in
dollars worth seventy cents, or less.
Isn't that a dainly dish to set before

Mr. Sfrinceii Is a very agile per

attempt to pull free wool over the eyea
of the plain people of this country.
Cincinnati wants to expend $6,000,

This Is a direct blow at the first prin

Under the Democratic rules the
House is ruled by three kings Crisp,
McMillan and Catchings. All from

The fathers and founders of free
trade in this country advocated the

Free wool logically means free trade,

Ferguson JUouio Inst
evening when a 11k 11
ald roporter ontered
and was introduced to
Mr. F. B. Alitor,
superintendent of the
Eaitt Harrlsburg Elec
tric Railway. Mr. Musser is a pleasant
gentleman, cool and deliberate in conversa
tion, and seems perfectly at home when
discussing olectria affairs. living an
opportunity to tbrjw aside his labors at
Harrisburgfor a day and having beard
considerable meption of the Mahanoy
City, Shenandoah, Girardvilloand Ashland
Street Railway1 Company's road, Mr
Musser concluded he would pay Shenan'
doah a visit and Inspect tho lino.
"How are you impressed with the elec
tric railway hero ? ' tho rupyrter asked.
."Very favorably. Very favorably, in'
deod. I think you have (he makings of
one of tho best electrio railway lines I
know of,"
"How do you think this road will com
pare with the East Harritburg, as an in
vestment 7.
.."It ought to py belter than our road.
It will be an inducement for people to
travel from ono town to anothor and you
have bo many towns In a line in this valley
tho traffic ought to bo voryj brisk and the
income large. I wont over tho linn to-day
and muel confess that tho territory is a far
better one than I oxpectod to find. When
traveling on a railroad through tho valley
one is led to beliovo that the population
would hardly warrant the building of an
electric road, but a drivo over the route
changes this Impression."
"What kind of rail have you got on
your line?"
"The flat rail."
"Would you sooner have our rail 1"
"Tea, indeed i bocauso it is a "T" rail.
That kind of a rail is ibetter than the one
we havo in many respects. It Is more
easily kept up arid cleaned and it does not
induco .wagon traffic. Sometimes it fs
almost impossible for us to keep our tracks
-1 r . . . . .
ciear 01 wagons ara trucks. This is a
Bourco of considerable annoyance and
delay to bvlU tho traveling public and the
company."
"What is your .opinion of the plant at
Rappahannock 7"
"It is second to none. I don't know
that I have ever Been ono equal to It in
general appearance and equipment. I am
very favorably Improved with your cars.
They are very fine and far superior in
general appearanco , and workmanship to
any 1 have Been. I was surprised to find
such cars provided for a line that Is to have
bo much traffic by minors. The cars are of
much Jlner finish than tboso wo have. As
to the power .house, I am very much
ploased. It Is laid out we'll and the equip
ment Is first class. Tho car house Is very
nicely arranged and equal to any I know
of. I have been in tho electric railway
business for Eovoral years and have seen all
iW road in the country. In making a
comparison I am iree to say that this one is
first class. The road bed Is very good. It
ii constructed on first class principles and
I.canaee that money has been epentto
make it first class.
"What do you think of the grade on the
dirt bank on the outskirts of this town do
you think any difficulty will remit trom it
In connection with the curves 7"
"No, sir. We have curves of 34 feet
with a pitch of 8 per cont. I notice that
you have but 0 per cont. pitch on 45-foot
curves?"
. "Did you pay any attention to the tres
ties, at this point 7"
"Yes, sir; and I believe tho spans are
perfectly safe. I have seen trestles built
like those for main railroad lino travel. In
fact, I believe that half the timber you
have In tho trestles would answer the pur
pose. The spans are very close together
mvi I can seo that money has boon spent to
make it what It appears to mo a fiist class
job."
"Do you return to Uarrlsburg to-morrow
7"
"No; I have accoplod an invitation from
Mr. Sadlor, tho vico president of tho lino,
to witness the running of cars between
Lost Creek and tho power homo. I am
pleased that I havo au opportunity to wit
ness tho operation of such a plant, as I will
remain hero to-morrow."
"He who steals my purso steels trash;" but
he who wantonly purlolus my bottle of Salva
tion Oil, steals something that enriches him In
deed and leaves ine bankrupt, a victim to aches
and pains, a sorrowing, woeful citizen, until I

plank.
A. E. L. Lockio wants to represent this dis
