Vote for tbe C situational Ansna me&U To tbe voters of Mlsaourl: For mora than a derde patriotic citizens of Missouri have been earnestly striv ing to bring about improvement la the wagon roadaof the State, UlievLsg that inestimable good would result to all the people if this could be accom plished. Progress baa been made but the ad vance ia too alow; the burden Imposed by bad roads on the people ta so grevicua that e?!ort must be made to haiitcs the encompassing of means for iu removal. . Ths great obstacle is tbe way of this ia the inadequate funds available for road licprovemtint, and this la made so by the limit of taxation as fixed by the state constitution. The people of the state have been heretofore somewhat opposed to per mitting the raising of this limit, but It is believed that now they are ready to have it done. At the State Roads Improvement Convention held Jan. 18-19, 1893, in Sedalia, Mo., a resolution was passed almost unanimously asking the legis lature then in session to provide for the submission to the vote of the peo ple at the next ge neral election a prop osition to amend the constitution so as to permit the raising of more rev enue for roads and btidges. The leg islature acceded to the request and adopted the following . JOINT AND CONCURRENT KESOLCTION. Resolved by the House of Represen atives, the Senate concurring therein: That at the general election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, A. D, 1894, the long years bore they have the bread on the table they ought to have, the orportiiiaties- in life they-ocjfht to have, if you do not want to wait your selves, write on your banner, so that every political trimmer, no matter how ehort-sighted he may be, can read It: "We never forget" If you launch the arrow cf sarcasm at labor, We never forget;'' if there is a division in Congress and you throw your vote in the wrong scale, we never forget. You may go down on your knees, and say, 'I am sorry I did the act, ' and wa will say it will avail you in heaven but on this side of tbe grave never." So that a man in taking tip the labor question will know he is dealing with a lair trigger pistol and will say: "I aia to be true to justice and to man,' other wise I am a dead duck." : . , ; Wanted to PtUr oa Lrffs. A curious advertisement appeared in some of the morning papers the other day to tlie effect that a ne-lef-ged man would hear something to his ad vantage by applying at a oertaia ad dress. Though hot one-kg-ged myelf, I called there and found the advertiser to be a Grand Army man who had lost a leg at Ar.t'etam. Questioned as to why he had inserted the advertisement which attracted ray attention, he -ave this explanation: "My idea," he said, "is to find a man who has lost lis left lc0'. You noice that any r:ght is gane. Now I pay 3 a pair for my shoes, and I wear about five pairs a year. That makes t-i'J. And besides, I wosir a great many socks, which also count up considerably. You can reaSily see that if I can find a man who has lost the other leg and wears the ssrna size shoe that I do, we can whaek up, and by buying our shoes and stock together wc would make cotisiiiara'." I apologized to tlie old gentleman for my curiosity in the matter and went away thickirg to myself what a von derful thing economy is. Xew York Korald! One Wy to litlN i'oney.

The committee appointed by the Car riage Builders' National Association at its Philadelphia meeting to consider the aubject of roada and highways reootaaended ths adoption, by the country at large of road laws altniiar to those of Massachusetts and New Jersey. The committee also join with the League of Good Roads and the League of American Wheelmen in recomfaersdixig laws requiring the use cf wide tires and varying tracks. The recommendation of the road laws of Massachusetts and New Jersey by such an influential body as the Car riage Builders' National Association makes it important that the 'public should be fully Informed a a to tbe general lines upon widen those laws are drawn. The Massachusetts statute provides for the appointment by the Governor and Council of three Com missioners at a salary of 12000 each and traveling expenses. This com mission compiles statistics, makes in vestigations, advises regarding the construction, alteration and mainten ance of roads, prepares maps, showing the location of road materials,- and holds annually a public meeting In each county for the discussion of road topics. Upon the petition of County Commissioners the commission may adopt any road as a State highway and build it if the Legislature makes an appropriation for it, but the grad ing and bridging must be done by the county. Such a highway is maintained by the State, under supervision of the commission, and upon the petition of two or more cities or towns a con necting road may be made a State (highway. In New JerBey the roads of a township are plaoed in charge of a township committee, - and money may be raised for road construction and improvement by iBuing township bonds, authorized by a vote In the annual town meeting. The Board of Chosen Freeholders of any county may designate certain roads as county roads and Improve them with funds raised by county bonds. The State pays one-third the cost of road im provement so authorized by the Chosen Freeholders within the limit of 875,000. When the owners of two-thirds of the lands abutting on a public road agree to pay one-tenth of the cost of the im provement of the road the Chosen Freeholders shall make such improve ment. The custom of working out road taxes has been abandoned, and now all taxes are payable In money. To ascertain the full text of these excellent road laws, an abstract of which Is presented In the foregoing, it is only necessary to send a request for bulletin No. 1, office of road inquiry, Department of Agriculture. - This bulletin contains all the State laws re lating to road unanagement from 1888 to 1893, Inclusive, and It should be within reach of every citizen of the State who pays road taxes or has any interest in the good roads movement. Philadelphia Ledger. The Correct the Blander, , way that the Northern States supported the Democratic nominee for President in 1892 really looked as ii a delirium bad seized upon the people. In every instance, however, since that fateful year, where the people have been called up to ratify or condemn their former actipn, the result has been an cverwhelmingannouncementagainst the fearful mistake into which they fell. , Every true friend of industry and the hundreds of thousands of the un employed throughout the length and breadth of the country, will look to the industrious East and the great Northwest for a thunder of protest against the party of Free-Trade ia the coming election, and for such a con trol in the next Congress as will check further Tarilf reductions until all branches of tlie Governmsnt can be re covered la 1S06, and the devastated in dustries of the land be rehabilitated and restored by wise, effective Protec tion laws.

There may be some little savings in tbe bask to draw upon, but it is a shame to have to touch these eld time savbgs that were put by againt eld age and which represent the economy of former days. But they must eat. And if there are no saving to draw upon to feed the many hungry mouths, then, indeed, is the mother's let an unhappy one. Wbstcan she say to her children who appeal for food. They do not understand thia dreaded Free Trade of Democracy. They only know that "father is is out of work" and that they are hungry. Can the moth er stop her tears or still her aching heart as she turns from the empty cup board and tells them there is no food in the bouse? No wonder the women are taking an interest in politics. They want to see those raseals turned out of office who have turned their husbands out of their jobs. The women know that Protection means food and clothing while Free-Trade means hunger and maddness. The women will see to it that their husbands vote for Protection this fall. A Faithful Vetera Fire Ilors. The Intelligence of the horse under systematic and careful training was strikingly illustrated at the house of Pioneer Hose Company No. 1. on Monday. ' Having an extra horse which was idle, and desiring to grad ually t train him ior fire . purposes, he was substituted for the veteran fire horse, Samuel. For five years Sam has been called out by an alarm drill each day at noon by Driver Albert Glatz, but on this day was taken out and securely tied in the stable about 100 feet In the rear of the engine bouae, where he seemed to feel lonely, ' dispirited and for gotten. , When the nsnal noon alarm was turned in and the firemen were instruct ing the new horse, a struggle was heard outside, and through the rear doors, the middle room and his stall, thundered Sam with broken halter. Straight to bis place he ran, pushed the new horse out of the way and placed himself beneath the harness. He seemed to resent the intrusion of the late arrival, and anxious to do bis duty. It is the intention to break the new horse in and use him while resting the others. Neither horse in i the department has been relieved from duty one hour in over five years.

She jumped up in a hurry, and was dressed in a minute. Mamma, what is. that going like a dog? Come in here, said her mother, and see what It is. Nellie followed her mother in thrt dining-roora, and there sure enough was a Utile brown puppy. O, O, cried Nellie,tbat U my doggie, isn't it mamma? Yes, that belongs to you; now take it some breakfast, and then eat yours. Nellie fed her pet, and then ate her breakfast After breakfast she had a big play with her dog out on the la a d. Then Mrs. Brown called Nellie und told her to go down to the post oJTije. Nellie did so, and brought the letter to her mamma. Mrs. Brown read it, aiid then said: Nellie, Thursday you are going to have company. O, mamma, who is it? It is a little girl from St Louis. Thursday came, and with it the little girl. Her name was Bessie Maple. Bessie and Nellie played together ail day, and the next day they were well acquainted. They played together ail the time she was there, but she was just there on a visit to stay a week, and the next Thursday she left on the 6 o'clock train. It was now two years since Bessie's visit and Nellie's dopgie is a good big dogi Nellie taught it bow to play I spy and other games.
