The only reason why they want aw extra ion is that they are afraid they will lore their slim majority by death if oow i» not called. They are not honest enaugfa to say so, however. Gov. Foraker transmitted his menage to the lewfebfcrrr the other day, and other things he said: “Hoaest •lections will not hurt anybody who is hottest’’ That was Chairman Quay’s eppiuion when he need money to buy votes in New York, finHana, and several Dr. MoGlynn seems to be about at the and of his row.

Tbs subject of publio roads is undw in several northern The fore shore of Pennsylvania and Mas attention to it in their and it has been taken of those stakes and of Gov. Beaver attributes the bad roads in Pennsylvania to the want of system in the road Iowa, and the troub¬ le in New Jersey seems to be identical with that in Pennsylvania. Gov. Ames thinks that good roads could be secured eventually*in Massachusetts if a state road commissioner fere appointed with authority to inspect the roads, and to make snoh suggestions to the legislature as he might think proper. If, as has bean asserted, the civilization of a country is indicated by its pnblis roads, then civilization has not advanced very greatly in Georgia. The roads of this state are not kept in much better condition than they were yean ago. Great improvement has been mode in them in some localities, but in all the counties there is yet a very brood margin for improvement. In fact the roads gener¬ ally are about as bad as they can be, con¬ sidering that they receive any attention ataiL The trouble is not that we have not sufficient road laws to make good roads possible,, but that the laws are not enforced. The work in most of the counties is done during a few weeks of the spring and fall, and it is not well done. The aim of the overseen seems to be to put the roads in such a condi¬ tion as will barely canne the work to be aooepted by the commissioners, and the commissioners have apparently found out that the grand juries do nothing more than to recommend in their gener¬ al presentiments that in future raoio at. tention be given to the roads. Tho subject of roads is one to which the different Farmer’s Allianoes of the state might give attention with entire propriety and profit No class of peo¬ ple would be so greatly benefltted by good roads as farmers. Good roads would would lessen the injury to horses and mules and the wear and tear of vehioles and harness, and they would facilitate travel and transportation. In addition they would add very greatly to oomfort. By united action the fanners might do a great deal in this important matter. It is gratifying to note that Georgia appears to be waking up on the subject. Several to roads have been made lately, Ouo of them is that oonviots l>e pnt to work on tho roads in the counties in which they are convicted, and another is that spec¬ ial county taxes for road purposes .)pe levied, so that a road force, under a com¬ petent commissioner, may be kept at work throughout tho year. Objections have been urged to both plana, but it is very ovident that in order to havo good roads, repairs must bo made whenever necessary, and without delay, and that the work must bo almost? continual^ and not at intervals of six months.—Savan¬ nah Nows. m »e« e Last week the constitutional conven¬ tion of New Hampshire amended the state constitution by a provision that no person shall be eligible to citizenship who cannot read the English language. The NewfYork Sun is opposed to the adoption of this policy, but the reason it gives does not seem to water cover the case It says that there are many foreign born people in this oountry who cannot read the’Engfish language, and who yet make good citizens, The question is, do they make good American citizens? Foreigners who come here with the in¬ tention of becoming citizens usually serve a term of probation, and it can be im¬ posing no great hardship on an intelli¬ gent man to insist that he be able to speak and read the langnaga of his adopted oountry. Thore are very few German or French born citizens in this oountry who cannot rend the English language- But there is a very dangerou element in tho west and northwest which not only refuses to learn to speak and write English, but will not permit its children to do so. There are Polish and Scandinavian settlements in this country where English is rarely heard, and where American citizenship is ignored. It is from this dare that the anarchists and socialists are drawn. It is a class that refuses to assimilate with our people and scorns our govern¬ ment and institutions. In omr opinion Naw H a m ps hi re is on the right line. Atlanta Cnoatitution. to Judge Albion W. Tourgee fa still writ¬ ing about tho South. Bo said lately: “The South fa on the up-grade, not bo oaoae her people believe in progress and are willing to get behind and push, but because the world is moving, and no matter how heavily it hangs back in the breeching the sooth must move toa The progress of the south morally, intellectu rily and materially, fa very largely the result of •re friction with northern en terprise, aspiration and sympathy, Nor them capital, northern brain, and very often northern brawn, have fought thoii way through the crust of southern life, and madrf unaccustomed stir among the particles which, seems phenomenal to its people. ” It fa true that the aonth fa on the up-grad«v but it fa not true that southern **opic do met believe in prog¬ ress and are unwilling to get behind and ptuh. So oe of theirortbem people whe haw oome aonth are yrogrsesive and en erge^e, and have hatred to build np thi auction, but in every htte ef bua>nc» they are hionght into competition with enterprising wide-awake ann industrion* southern people. Some of the eueq mid ahrowd buainesB men of New 1 find their most snooessiui rivals an the southern-men oa WaU street —? Nm Jerseys in the South. One of the rtfougest arguments used by those who favor stock lavs is that the natural molt of sach lavs would b« the introduction of better grades of cat¬ tle. Now that many communities hare stock lavs in fores a great many of their people are experimenting with Jersey cattle. If these experiments are intelli¬ gently conducted the result will be grat¬ ifying in every instance. In diacusasng the value of Jersey cows, an expert says: “They do not snooeed veQ on sorub oow fare. Well fed, well sheltered in bad weather, well watered and kindly treated, as all milch sows should be, they are the queen of cows and the glo¬ ry of dairymen. They take th*e load of all breeds of oovs as gilt-edge butter cow s, cream cows. Their milk is the richest and the best When the farm-! ere of the Sooth shall have bams crowd-1 ed with the beet southern hay and pas¬ tures with rieh grasses, these states will have millions of Jersey oowa, and the finest dairies in the world, and gilt edge winter grass hotter will sell at high fig¬ ures in northern markets when northern pastures are covered with snow and bliz¬ zards sweep over northern farms.” |_ The Enquirer-Sun is glad to note a steadily growing interest among the farmers of the South upon this subject. The Jersey oow is sarely winning her way into their pastures and barnyards.— Enquirer-Sun. The Chinese minister at Washington has made himself conspicuous on several oooasions lately. One was when he en¬ tered into a pleasant rivalry with Mr. Blaine for the social honors at one of the Chief Justioe Fuller’s receptions. A few days later he attended a at Secretary Bayard’s, and oomplained of having a headache^ vited him to whereupon seat Mias comfortable Bayard in¬ a on a sofa where he might be quiet for a short while. The minister at onfte sank down among the cushions, croasod one leg over the other and clasped his left foot in his hands. Then ho fell asleep, which was a little more than the hostess had calcu¬ lated upon, and she took the liberty of arousing him before his snores became load enough to f>o kesrd throughout the rooms, and of bundling him off to his carriage. The minister probably had fallen a victim to the American habit of being too convivial at times. He should suggest to his government that it send a few missionaries to this coun¬ try.—Exchange «♦* One Fact Is worth a column of rhetorio, said an American at ataman. It is a fact estab¬ lished by the testimony of thousands of people, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt rhenm, and other diseases or affections arising from im¬ pure state, or low condition of the blood, it‘also overcomes that tired feeling, cre¬ ates a good appetite, and gives strength to every part of the system.
