THE PRESIDENT deserves credit
for sending TO Congress a short mes.
sage, and especially for con6ning
himself to matters Ger which the
extra session was called. He says
it was to provide approp riations for
the army and navy that ongress
was assembled, and asks $50 ,436 ,556
for the army, and seve raj millions
more for the navy. He also recon-
mends acceptances of the invitation
TO take part in the French EXposi-
tion, to take, place next May. Mr..
Hayes wisely reserves his views and
Recommendations on the state of the
country for the regular annual mes
sage i'm December.
The country can rest assured that
the Democratic House will care
fully and rigidly scrutinize every
item of appropriation asked for, be-
fore it is granted. The extravaganza
and profligacy that have So dishonor-
ably marked Grants administratio

While most of our side walks are
not worth the nance, the one leading
to the School House is especially
bad. We were down there ON Mon
day morning to witness the opening
OF the schools and confess that it is
about as much as full sized man
cares to do. to make. his way over
broken planks and through minia-.
tnre lakes, on rainy day. The.
walk should be drained, filed UP
with good, clean gravel, or laid with
new plank, and the approaches to
the foot bridge should also be filed.
We suggest that our teachers take
the matter in hand at once and push
it through. Get up subscription,
and let us see whether our citizens
will risk the limbs and health of
their children rather than spend a
few dollars. Come along, Messrs.
Zerby d Gephart. 1f you handle
yourselves properly you can have a
good side walk completed aud paid
for within six days from date. Do
