The public debt Of the United States

These are questions voters should ask
themselves before deciding which
ticket they will support next Novem-

to see the national debt wiped out from

Road Repairs in France.

In France, when road has been
built in good order by the landlords.
or by the district, or by common
wealth, it IL classified and given In
charge to the Cantomier, or road-man.
The roadman is q workingman OF
good steady habits. A nice little stone
house is built for his use, with q gar
den, In the most central part Of the
different roads he has charge Of.
He receives from the State . fixed
annual salary, and must give all his
time to the roads he 10 entrusted with,
and keep them In constant repair.
A wheelbarrow, shovel and q kind
Of iron club TO break big stones, is
about all the tools be has.
There are from place to place, some
little huts by the roadside where he
can find shelter and place his tools,
when too far from his habitation. He
wears silver badge on his breast like
some conductors Of trains or police
men, showing that he is the roadman.
He also has kind Of crook surmoun t.
ed by his number. which he plants on
the side Of the road at the place where
he is working. 1t indicates his near
presence.
Az soon as hole or depression ex-
lists in the the road, he fills It with
stones that he breaks from time to
time when he has nothing else to do.
Those piles Of stone broken to size
according to regulation, form nice per-
feet cubes Of about yard. He takes
from these piles when wanted. The
big stones are carried by farmers and
others to the required places, and the
farmers pay in that way their road tax.
Others who have no horses or wagons,
would acquit themselves by day labor
under the direction and with the
assistance Of the roadman, who keeps
strict account OF such labor. Under
that system the work Of repairing is
done conscientiously, as there is
somebody responsible for the keeping
OF the roads in good order. It costs in
reality very little; for being constantly
repaired, daily nursed and attended,
the roads once built last eternally, and
they are beautiful highways, each
roadman being proud Of having the
best roads in his keeping.
The county Roadmen hsve . sort Of
military organization /; their chief Is a
supervisor, who has to attend to the
details Of administration, keep the
books, settle accounts and disputes
ETC., and rides very often over the
roads Of his county to see that each
subordinate faithfully obeys instruc-
tons and discharges his duty Land

the number of shingles required for a
roof of any size, one which he thinks
every mechanic and farmer should
remember. First find the number Of
square inches in one side Of the roof ;
cut Off the right hand or unit figure.
and the result will be the number of
shingles required to cover both sides
Of the roof, laying five inches to the
weather. The ridge board provides
for the double courses at the bottom.

From the Spirit Of Jefferson.l
The New Constitution.

The Republicans who oppose the new
Constitution must do 80 from feeling
of pique that their political opponents
are about to work 9 change which the
Republicans themselves believe to be
demanded by all sensible men; for no
sensible man will maintain that the Leg.
islature ought to have the power by the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus,
in time of peace, to retain q man in
prison for an indefinite period of time
without even a judicial investigation Of
the, legality of the imprisonment. Be-
sides these very grave objections to the
Constitution under which we are now
living, there are others which would re-
quire too much space to dwell upon;
as for instance il, by any unfortunate
chance, war should once more break
out, the Legislature would then have
