"AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,"
remarked an old gentleman, as he gazed
fohilly upon the comely little woman by bis
side; "but frankly," he continued, "at one
time I was afraid cosmetics would. The silly
little woman, in order to appear youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, yclept 'balms,' creams,' 'lotions,'
etc." " Yes," interrupted the little woman,
" i did, until my akin became like parchment
and so pimply and coarse." "Well," said tho
listener. " What do you use now?" "User"
was tho reply, " nothing but common sense
and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Common sense told mo that if my blood was
pure, liver active, appetite and digestion good,
that the outward woman would take on tho
hue of health. The ' Discovery ' did all thoso
things and actually rejuvenated mc." If you

spots and roughness, use the "Golden Med

JOHN HENRY BONNER.
Here lived the soul enchanted
By melody of song;
Here dwelt the spirit haunted
By a demoniac throng;
Here sang tbe lis elated ; v
Here grief and death were sated ;
Here loved and here un mated -
Was he, so frail, so strong.
Here wintry winds and cheerless
The dying firelight blew,
While he whose song was peerless
Dreamed the drear midnight through,
And from dull emherschilling
Crept shadows darklyiilling
The silent place, and thrilling
His fancy as they grew.
Here, with brow bared to heaven,
In starry night he stood,
With the' lost star of seven
Feeling sad brotherhood,
Here in sobbing showers
Of dark autumnal hours
He heard suspected powers
Shriek through the stormv wiud.
From visions of Apollo
And the Astarte's bliss,
He gazed into tho hollow
And hopeless vale of Dis ;
And though earth were surrounded
By heaven, it still was mounded
With graves. His soul had sounded
The dolorous abyss.
Proud mad, but not defiant,
He touched at heaven and hell,
Fate found a rare soul pliant
And rung her changes well,
Alternately his lyre,
Stranded with strings of fire,
Led earth's most happy choir
Or flashed with Israel.
No singer of old story
Luting accustomed lays,
No harper for new glory,
No' mendicant for praise,
He struck high chords ami splendid,
Wherein were fiercely blended
Tones that unfinished ended
With his unfini -hed days.
Here through this bnvl portal,
Made sacred by his name,
fjjpheralded immortal
The mortal went and came,
And fate that then denied him,
And envy that decried him,
And malice that belied him,
Have ceuotaphed his fame.

BOSTOX.
Mr. President and Gentlemen :
Macauley says that of all inventions. I
he alphabet and printing press alone
excepted. thoseinventions which abridge
distance have done most f-r the civili
zation of our species.
A nation, or an age of civilization is
perhaps more easily judged and under
stood by the character and extensive-
ness of its roads, than by any othei
ymbol of progress.
Intercourse between communities,
and
n
i
the development of commercial
lite,
have afforded the necessity for
regularly adopted routes of travel, and
more or less systematically prepared
roadways from the time before tin
building of those famous highway-
between ancient Memphis and baby ton,
over which the untold wealth of the
valleys of the Euphrates and the Nile
found means of exchange, where the
magnificent cities of Nineveh, Dam as
ens and lvre. me earliest great com
i rai i i " i i
mercial centres, sprang up, and over
which the splendid armies ot Xerxes
and Alexander the Great passed in all
the pride and glory of those early days.
I he roadways of which the earliest
traces appear, were well constructed,
as is evident from the remains found,
but they were limited in number, laid
out generally in direct lines, and had
the advantage in their construction of
all the resources of the rich and power
ful nations which built them.

The old countries where war has
been a constant factor, have looked
after them as a matter of national pol-

Canute interests, in eacn country tney
early came under the national surper
vision, t!i results of which are seer in
the most splendid highways in exist
ence, costing the least to maintain, and
in every way the most satisfactory and
economical for those who use them.
Up to the advent of railroads, most of
the settlements in this country were
along ouj wnter fronts, and on our sea
coasts, lakes and rivers. The invention
of steam and the development of the
railroad, seem to have taken all our en
ergies and resources, to the neglec; of
oar roads and highways, and now that
we have more miles of railway than the
whole of the Eastern Hemisphere, and
about all that we can make to pay, at
present, we can well afford to turn our
attentiou to the matter of highways in
which everybody should be interested,
for all who have to use them, rich and
poor alike, those that ride and those
that walk.
No country has a greater road mile
age, in proportion to the population,
than the United Slates, but while with

munication and intercourse have been

settlers who, when the necessities of the
case seemed to demand that a road he
established for the convenience of the
public I ravel, each contributed a way
across his farm, laving perhaps over the
worst hill, and through the sandiest, or
the rockiest, or the wettest land, with a
view rather to economy of his best pas
tures, than the saving, in the years to
come, of the time and strength f the
Ur.ivdW obliwd to use it.
American roads are far lieh w the
average: they are certainly among tin
worst in the civilized world, and always
have been largely as a result of per
mitting local circumstances to deter
mine the location, with little or no re

that we find them the worst where nat

poor. Now it is rich, there is no excuse
i . , - . t i i
A good road is always to be desired,
and is a source of comfort and conveni
ence to everv traveller.
Good roads attract population, as well
t?ood schools and churches. Good
roads enhance the value of property, so
r-
that it is said a farm lying hve miles
from market connected by a bad road
js Gf less value than an equally good
farm lying ten miles away from market
connected by a good road.
A larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good, than by two over a
bad one.
Various movements, already under
Way, in the direction of road improve-
. , i 1
ments, must have and already are nav-
ing their effect, in bringing about a
material raising ot the nverage quality.
The governors ot several btates nave
J made special and important references
I.. .. 1-
to it in their annual messages, and in
several States bills have been presented
highways, by regularly organized sys-
tenis of work, to be carried out under
the supervision of departments provided
by the State.
n Pennsylvania a general tax levy of
seven and one-half mills has been order-
ed bv the legislature, for road lmprove-
ments. The forces working to bring
about such results as this are powerful,
and increasing everv day.
I The high point to be aimed at, is the
recognition of the importance of the
whole situati n by the national govern-
merit, and the establishment bv Con
bureau and the prosecution of the work
in the most thorough and practical wav.
each State should b
commissioner, charged with the high-
ests of the State in the wav of main
taining its system of roads' under the
most approved methods and for the
general public welfare. The best prac
tical results could probably be attained,
by the division of the State into high
way districts, consisting of counties, or
perhaps townships, each of which should
have its overseer in full charge of the
opening and construction of new roads
in his district and the proper mainten
ance of all, responsible for the expendi
ture of the regular appropriations for
these purposes. These districts could
then le divide I itito smaller ones under
sub overseers.
The importance and the value to any
country, any section, and every citizen
from tt-.e highest to the lowest, whether
tax-payers or tramps, of well construct
ed and properly maintained roads, is not
easily estimated, but clearly it is greater
than that of m my affairs which are
continually receiving the time and at
tention of the people in their homes.
counting-rooms, public meetings and
legislative halls.
It is a matter to be considered side bv
side with our splendid and always im
proving system of public education, the
assessment of our tariff duties, or the
appropriations regularly made for river
nd harbor improvements.
But the question of the most partic
dar interest, to-day, to von and to me.
as manufacturers and merchants, in the
whole question of good and bad roads
is. irhat is the effect on our business?
Now it may be possible that there are
those who will think they see an ad
vantage for the carriage builder in poor
ro ids, where in traveling over hills that
might easily be avoided, going ten
miles to make five as the crow, flies,
pulling through mud and sand that
should be gravel and jolting over rocks
that might be macadam, the vehicles of
the unfortunate owners would go to
pieces in one-half the time they ought
to stand under favorable circumstances,
and necessitate the purchase of new
ones, to the advantage and profit of the
manufacturer.
Hut a man who entertains such nn
idea would waste no time in killing his
soose to secure the last golden egg.

most ordinary business instincts that
good roads mean thrift, liberality and

on his teams, will be a richer man on
account of them, and have the more
money to buy our carriages, running
into higher value, (while his sons and
daughters can have their bicycles and
tricycles at less expense), and his exam
ple must be followed by his neighbors.
Now you are honest manufacturers,
and have no desire to have your vehicles
wear out quickly, that they may be
sooner replaced, but you believe, I doubt
not, that the better the vehicle the
longer it lasts, the better business and
profit will come to you
Good roads mean for you and for me
better business. Good roads encourage
riding and driving, and the tale of our
vehicles, while bad roads mean less nns-
ness for you and for roe, for where the
roads are bad the traffic must of neces
sity be much less.
As a nation we are remarkably pa-
tient and an easy-going people, con-
sidering the enterprise and business
activity for which we are noted the
world over, and rather too apt to fall
into the way of doing things as a mat-
ter of course. As a result of this, very
strenuous and continuous efforts are
frequently necessary, to bring about
the farthest reaching and most desir-
tble reforms. From a business, point
of view, we cannot afford to neglect
:mv onnortunitv to help along the pres -
ent movement.

most strongly as a part of your most
urgent duty toward yourselves, to ap
point at once, if you have not already
done so, your committee on highwi ys,
clothing them with power to do some
practical work, and giving them under
reasonable limitations, nt least, the ap
proach to your treasury. A moderate
amonut of money judiciously expended
in educating the people up to' their needs
and let interests, in snowing them
how tiieir roads are, and how they
ought to le, and how to go to work
to make them so, could not be put out
at better interest. I am credibly in
formed that within one hundred miles
of this building the capital invested in
the carriage industry amounts to seven
million dollars; and the interest which I
informally represent to you is a true
branch of this v;.st industry. The manu
facture and s.d' of carriages to be drawn
by horses and the manufacture of car
riages to be impelled by the rider is es
sentially one and the same. Tfce char
acter of the motive power cannot of
course change the character of the ve
hicle. We, who manufacture bicycles,
feel that we have a right to fraterniza
tion with you. We seek fellow?diip
with you iu your effoits to improve the
travelling vehicles of the country 4iud
the roadways by the improvement in
which our interests as manufacturers
and the people's prosperity and happi
ness are to be enlarged.
The bicycle interest is young in years,
but it has already become a large one.
As an industry, it ranks among the fine
arts, while the magnitude of the busi
ness and the number of the vehicles
made and sold yearly would, we fancy,
btra matter of surprise to yome of you
and of amazement to the public at
large.
I need not say to this convention,
that we who construct these delicate
carriages propelled by human power
are intensely interested in the improve
ment of the country's roadways, even
as you who manufacture wagons and
carriages of the lighter and more ele
gant sort. It is true, that in a certain
sense the bicycler is not so dependent
as the man who drives his carriage or
road-wagon on the quality of the road
way, for he can pick his way with
much greater facility. W herever there
is a hand's-width of level way there he
can easily pass. He can turn from left
to right with wonderful ease and quick
ness. He can even take to the side
walk and so escape manv ill-condition
ed places which the driver of carriages
cannot. Nevertheless, I feel that our
interests and yours in good roadways
are equal uud identical, and 1 am here
to pledge our heartiest co-operation
with you in any practical measure
looking to the improvement of the
roadways of the country.
The history of carriage building and
the history of the development of this
country alike confirm the truth which
1 have tried to impress, namely, that
improvement in roads leads to and pre
cedes the use of better and higher
grade vehicles, and especially induces
the use of pleasure carnages.
It does not need argument or illus
tration to persuade you that more roads
means more carriages. Where now go
saddle-horse and mule-van in wide re
gions of this great country, ought to
be seen the carriage and the bicycle.

Public sentiment hits so crystal ized
against the trust in this country that
it has become only a question of time,
and that very no distant time, either,
when it must go, and go for good.
One' year ago a lender ns high in the
councils of the Republican party as
James G. Blaine, d -t tared in his public
speeches that "trusts were largely pri
vate enterprises with which the public T
had nothing to do," and this assertion
was tacitly assented to if not openly
endorsed by other distinguished
leaders in the same party, not one of
whom was found to condemn them.
Now not one of these haulers from
James G. Blaine down rould be found
bold enough to endorse them, not that
they are now hostile to the trusts
which ;hi?y then tacitly r openly" en
dorsed, but because they hare seen the
drift of public sentiment and they are
too politic and prudent to put tliemsel-"
ves in opposition to it - ;
Sherman took position ageinst whem
ou the stump in Ohio, hoping thus to
protect his party and retain the sup
port of the anti-trust men. Mot hie
change of front eame too late to have
the effect he hoped for, and the party
suffered.
In Iowa Senator Allison did the
same thing, vainly endeavored at the
same time to throw dust into the eyes
of the people and humbug them into
the belief that the high protective tar
iff, of which he is an advocate, was
rather unfavorable than favorable to
the fostering of trusts. But it didn't
work in that State either, which elected
a Democratic Governor for the first
time in thirty years, and came so near
electing a legislature that Allison will
retain his seat in the Senate, if indeed
he be elected, by the skin of his teeth,
Heretofore Iowa has been regarded as
an impregnable Republican stronghold,
wnere tne iota or auemocratic victory
was regarded as absurd, and Democrats
were laughed at for keeping up their
party organization.
Even in Kansas, "Bleeding Kansas,
where Democrats felt lonesome for
ant of goxl, honest society, Senator
Ingalls, who parts his h: ir in the mid
dle, and flies off at a tangent on the
lightest provocation, or sometimes
without provocation at all, felt con-
straiued to write to a friend to say
that "trusts formed for the purpose of
raising the price on the necessar'ei of
life committed a crime against society
and should be sevc,elypuni8hed.,,
These are all typical Republicans,
whose sudden conversion and change
of front is a striking index of the
change of public sentiment on the
trust question.
But another forcible illustrated is the
change of front in some of the trusts
themselves. The cotton seed oil trust,
at a meeting of stockholders and di
rectors recently, after a cat and parrot
time over its affairs and the squander
ing of some 8500,000 to buy up the
surplus oil eu the market and thus
keep up the price of the stocks of tne
trust, resolved to go out of .business,
to shut up shop as a trust and open un
at the same old stand as a joint stock
company, this ruse being adopted to
get around the present or anticipated
hostile legislation against trusts. This
dodge m.iy wot k for a while, while the
Keople are engaged in cracking the
eads of the trusts which don't crawl
into a hole.
But perhaps one of the most signifi
cant events as bearing upon the trust
is the affirmation of the Supreme
Court of New York sustaining the
order of Judge Barrett annulling the
charters of the North River Sugar Re
fining Company, a case which has gone
through the -regular course of the
sugar trust in that State. The Su
preme Court holds that "any "agree
ment, combination, association, or ar
rangement, or whatever else it may be
called, having for its object the remov
al of competition and the advancement
of the prices of the necessaries of life,
is subject to the condemnation of the
law, by which it is denounced as a
criminal enterprise." This settles the
legal status of the sugar trust, and of
all the other trusts in that State hav
ing for their obiect the "removal ol
competition and the advancement of
the prices of the necessaries of life,"
and covers the stock company dodge
quite as effectually as it does the trust
in its own proper name, lhe people
are getting on top, and the trust is
c nning down.
