If a gnat demand for the reports of the Nov
Jersey Bond Commissioner, which show:
that the subject of good roads is being con
sidered in many other States.
Nearly all the larger cities and town;
have macadamised roads from their cen
tree to the farming districts. Union Es
lex* Morris, and Psssaio have built man]
aifles of road under the count v law, but art
*ow embracing the State aid law. Tht
farmers have found by experience that tb<
increased taxes sit lightly upon them and
* ire a small expense compared WKQ in<
Mriof made by the more easy trans porta
tton of their prodaee to markets a id th?
tedueemeat tt offers to city people to loeat<
In the eoaotry.
The Coavlsslonez says the Offloe of Boac
Inquiry at Washington is urging New Jer
say farmers to try steel tracks for roads
Soeh tracks would save four-fifths of th<
power now expended on a macadamize^
toad. The aee ef broad tires isreeom
r - mended* aad the report urges the Legists
tare to pass a law giving a rebate in tax*
to all owners of Wagons who use tires no
leas than three*and a half inches wide.
The work of abolishing toll roads ha
been began, and two turnpikes in Burling
ton and Camden ooantips are to be eon
rtomnci! as soon as the County Boards o
Freeholders ratify the action of the ap
^raisers. This will eost the eonnties f43,

"IteostsV,V oents per ooshel to ship

kett it. Is estimated that the cost oJ
hauling 5M>00QJHb tons of farm produce t?

"These statements are startling, but true
They show the importance of rood roads
' Tha real cost of transportation that burdeni
our agricultural classes is the part of it be
tweea toe farm and toe town or raliwaj
station rather than between the railway
station and toe market. The loss due t<
bad roads ts one of the greatest wastes o
energy oonnected with farming, as it fc
carried on in this eountry. Boad and stred
improvement throughout the United States
Is becoming a subject of universal interest,
Its national impuetonee is such that to-daj
It absorbs a large share of public attentior

WHITE ELECTED CHAIRMAN.
Bailey's Friends Hake Him Head of the
democratic Congressional Committee.
The New Democratic Congressional Committee
at Washington elected as Chairman
Senator White, of California. The election
has attracted a good deal of attention in
the House, owing to its bearing on the
Speakership contest.
8E31TOB TTHITX, OF CAUTOB3TU.
Senator I White was supported by the
friends of lBepresentative Bailey, who axe
favorable tb Bailey's candidacy in ease the
next House is Democratic. Under these
circumstances considerable oonfldence was
expressed la Senator White's election, although
Messrs. MoBae, of Arkansas;
Richardson, \ot Tennessee; Osborne, of
Wyoming, and Mien, of Indiana, had been
prominent ln\ the race. Owing to the
Speakership Issue, however, tie friends of
Mr. Bailey felt what It wtsderlrcMe a Senator
should head the Committee, so that the
Chairmanship ^nd the Speakership should
be entirely separated.
An unexpected dark hone developed in
Senator Cookreil, of Missouri, who was defeated
by Senator White by the narrow
margin of eighteen to fifteen.

"Say," he said, aa be broke ruthlessly
into a lawyer's office, "I've got a' job 1

"That's what I'm here for," said tho
lawyer. "State your case and I'll make
a fee pretty quick."
"Weil, way," said the dentlst,
for that's wbatjie was, "I made a
set of false teeth torjL scalawag a few
weeks ago, and made 'em on the in- J
stallment plan. The feller paid me a
dollar down, and he was to pay me a '
dollar a week Yor ten weeks, and I was
to hare a lien on the teeth until they
were paid fat*. Now he's quit paying
and won't let me hare the molars. Says
they hurt his jaW, but I take notice
they never affected his cheek very
much."
"Did you give him a bill for 'em?"
"No. Nearer gave him anything bat
the teeth.".
"Have no agreement In writing for
a chattel mortgage specifying the kind
of plates, jand the gums, and the number
of teeth?"
"No. If tell yon I didn't have anything,
add I ain't got anything yet.
What I want to know Is, haven't I got 1
a mechanic's lien on them teeth? j
Didn't Jj work on 'em, and isn't my j
work as good as a carpenter's or a j
bricklayer's?"
"Well[ I hardly think a mechanic's J
lieu copers your case. I don't think ;
you cam get them back."
"What would they do to me if I held
him up and took 'em out of his mouth
and vJcut off with 'em?'
"Maybe they could hold you for petit
larceny. If you can catch him in his J
room/ asleep, and attach them by get
ting but a writ, mayb. you can get him
to come to taw, but that would cost j
you /more than the teeth are worth. I j
guedg you're in for it this time."
"Well, I won't get In that kind of a j
