THE RESOLUTIONS.
Tho Republicans of Schuylkill county, In
convention assembled,- reaffirm their devotion
to tho DrlnclDles of tho ereat nolltlcal party
whose achievements constitute a record of
thirty years' Intellectual, moral and political
advancement amonc tne most cnnenienea. in
crjendentandnatriotloneonloln the civilized
world. This convention, representing and
speaking for tho Republicans of the great
county or scnuyiiuii, mane tne toiiowing uec
laratlons: 1. We heartily endorse tho pure, prudent and
natriotlc administration of President Harri
son, which, by Its statesmanship, dignity and
firmness, has evoked the enthusiastlo appro
bation of Americans, regardless of political
nmuations, ana won tne respect anu connaenco
of all civilized nations.
3. We congratulate not alone the Republican
party, nut tne entire country, upon mo Denen
cent results of tho system of protection to
American Industry, as embodied In the law
universally known as the McKlnley bill, and
regard tho attacks being mado upon It by the
present Democratic Congress as assidious at
tempts to destroy tho unprecedented Industrial
and commercial prosperity attained under Its
influence and operation, and to drag American
labor down to the level of tho semi-slavery of
Kuropcan nations,
3. we earnestly commend tho efforts of the
itepuDiican party to maintain a sound ana uni
form currencv. and rceiird us extremelv danger
ous to tho industrial and commercial prosperity
of tho nation, the attempt to depreciate It by
tho enactment of legislation which is calculated
only to benefit tho producers of silver, at the
expense 01 tne people.
4. Wo recognize In tho history of the National
campaign of 1888, recently published, the valuo
of tho matchless services rendered to the party
by tho Hon II. S. Quay, who, as chairman of
tho Republican National Committee, thwarted
tho corrupt Democratic organization of the
City of New York In Its attempt to securo the
Presidency by election frauds. We also en
dorse the Senatorial career of Senator Quay
and recognize and appreciate the valuo of his
ncrvjces 10 me poucy or 1'rotection to American
Industry, and his unswerving ildellty to tho
Republican nartv
lean party and its principles : and wo
mokt emphatically
condemn the vituperative.
malevolent and mendacious attacks made upon
his personal and political character, as assanlts
not alone upon the man, but upon tho party and
principles or which he 1 u disttnguls
representative.

PRESENT SYSTEM OF ROAD
MAKING BAD.
THE STONE GRUSHER THEORY.
Tho IWere llrenklnp of fstono ami Dumping
it Upon the Streets Will Not Make
tho Knatli any lletter Hints for
Improvements
INCE the construction
has been pushed in
town aid the gangs ol
workmen havo made-
tho tronches on Coal
and Main streets for
tho sills and rails, tho
subject of good streot work has come to the
front again. The digging up ot the streets
shows tho falso theory upon which the
so-called road improvements of the past
have beon basod.
That the condition of the common roads
has much to do with the prosperity of a
town, raisos it socially, commercially and
financially, widens its influence, and brings
it in touch with all tho improving and
civilizinif influences of tho busier world
there can be no matter of doubt.
Tho question askod is, "How should
roads be mado?" It should always bo
roroembercd that the hurdness and smooth
ness of surface aro two prime qaalitl'' in
every good highway; thero should bo
thorough drainage to prevent the softtning
of the road by rain and flood, and thorough
rolling.
A well known writer speaks on the treat
ment of dirt roads whore thoy must bo
tolerated. "The first and most Important
thing necessary for a dirt road may bo
staled in a single word drainage. It is
tho ono thing that can neither bo disponsed
with nor neglected. Most dirt is soluble,
and is easily displaced under the sofloning
influence of lain, and this process is has
tened in the dirt road by tho passing of
hoavy wBgons over tho wet surface. Wutor
is hard to confino and easy to release, and
yet, through sheer neglect of the simplest
principles of drainago, water is tbo most
active destroyer of our roads."
Tho came writer says, that Macadam
roads, when mado with care, ure infinitely
superior to tho ordinary dirt roads, and are
mo3t excellently cdipted to suburban lo
calltios where tho travel is not too heavy
and where tho earth bottom can bo made
firm and compact. It Is not uncommon in
some ot our states to una tne idea pre'
valent with town authorities that the pur
chase of a (tone crusher, and the turning
oat of a large macs of broken stone.whlch
can bo dumped in irregular quantities
along the length of a road, to bo leveled
and worn down by passing trafllo, will re
sult in tho lormatlon of a Macadam road
and such a process is sometimes miscalled
macadamizing. To say nothing of th
false economy generally entailod by such
process, it may be asserted to be not only
wholly unlike the method of road improve
ment which Macadam instituted, but it is
In diroct violation of tho principles upon
which he most strongly insisted.
The evil results of this shiftless and un
systematic use of broken stone may not
only be seen in the long and toilsomo pro
cess of rolling this material into passable
shape by the wheels of wagon traffic, but
it involves questions of economy In use of
material, and In the pormanoncy of tho
road Itsolf, which ought to bo considered,
In the first place the foundation for tho
stone to be placed on a road should be
rolled many times with a heavy rollor and
should be shaped into a convex cross sec
tion so as to insure tho quick drainage of
such water as may find its way through tho
Upper surface. The dumping of looso stone
upon tho soft and flattened earth founda
tion invites disaster in many ways. In the
first place, tho looso, opon texture of tho
superstructure readily admits the water of
rain and melting snow, and this water,
passing quickly through the sieve-like
material, still further softens tho earth
beneath. Then the weight of the stones
themselves, added t) that of heavy wagons
which pass over tho road, serves to press
the local, angular stones down into the
soft earth beneath, while the dirt Itself
seems to permoato the body of tho stone
and eventually to find its way to the
surface, where it forms Into puddles aud
hastens tho disintegration ot tho entire
structure.
In this condition the passing of loaded
wagons for a considerable time results in
tho disappearance of the Macadam stone
into tho soft dirt, and in such cases it too
often happens that tho remody attempted
results In the adding of new material In the
samo neglectful aud slovenly way as
markod tho putting down ot the first. The
writer feels confident that by tbo wasteful
process just described, enough stono has
bien sunk Into tho earth foundation of the
rof.d bed to serve in tho building of six
times tho same length of cxcollent Maca
dam road.

AKitliiit the Construction.
Tho pick and shovel gang on the electric
railway are plowing their way down Main
troet.at a rattling pac and the trench Is
now down to Odk street. The work it
being pushed with all possible speed to
compiote Iho road In town at an early data
and have tho mounds of dirt cleared away.
This morning the track and wire men
jmmencid work on Coal street, -tnd-at
noon trucks were laid and spiktd as far as
ardin street. Ralls will be in position as
far as Main street by tho time the gang
tuits work to-night.
It is understood that ono or two of tho
Councilmen caused tho spe. ial mooting of
Council to be called for this evening with
view to applying for an injunction
against tbo railway company. If the
grounds of complaint are no bettor than
those staled by ono Cjuncllman thechuncrs
for an injunction will bo very slim. ThiB
Councilman maintains that tho road should
bo laid on one square at a time and the
digging should not bo pushed as it has been
the ptst three days. It thould bo plain to
any intelligent man that the p'ck and
shovel rain must bo in advance of the
tract-men and that both gangs cannot work
at the samo tirno on one square; and t
would certainly be unreasonable to expect
tbo company to havo pick and shovel men
make a trench on one square, thon
rest upon their tools until the trackmen
finish their work ; snd then havo the latter
gang Iny idle until anoihor trench is mado
for them.
The work done since Monday shows that
iho company is doing all It can to get
through its work in town as as soon as pos
sible. The p-'oplo realize this, and they
will not bridge any obstacles from parties
who wish to vent a personal prejudice.
