The Pomeroy Telegraph is agitating the
question of better roads in Meigs county.
The following. from that paper, throws
some light upon this question which will
be of interest to the people of this county:
Mr.. James Trip, of Jackson County,
publishes an article in the last Jackson
Standard in favor Of macadamiZing the
main thoroughfares of travel in that
county, by a system almost identical with
the one which we have been advocating
in the Telegraph for this county. He
SAYS Jackson County has expended $780,
600 for railroads with good results, and
now he wants the people to go to work
and macadamize their highways. He es-
Inmates the cost in that county at about
81 $50 per mile, which is probably about
the average cost of such roads in the in
terror counties of the State, where the
gravel has to be dug from pits and paid
for besides. Even under these disadvan-
tages, however. graveled roads of excel
lent quality were made in Pickaway Co.
previous to the war, at an expense OF
81 900 per mile. The stone for the road
bed up there is even more difficult toiob-
tain than the gravel, and consequently
more expensive, while in this county
stone may Dc udu dlLnOsb AZ AOi
the trouble of gathering it up and haul
ing it away. We mention these facts be
cause there are parties in this county
who are apparently seeking to defeat our
road project by spreading abroad e-ag-
gerated estimates of the cost of such
roads. In Scioto County, soon after the
war. when labor was much higher than
now, excellent macadamized roads were
constructed, under the direct supervision
of the Commissioners, at 81 500 per mile,
the Commissioners meanwhile drawing
their regular per diem wages, while thus
engaged, which went to swell the expense.
We are satisfied such roads can be made
in Meigs County in the present condition
of the labor market at prices considera-
bly, below the Scioto County figures
There is, therefore, nothing in this road
project to be frightened about, but every
thing to commend it to the property
owners of the county.

lowing, taken from the New York Sun
of last Thursday:
"Word was sent to the Twenty-second

403 East Twentieth street On the land
ing at the head of the first fight of stairs
Officer Carroll found a young woman,
dressed in her night clothes, and lying
in a pool of blood. A little l0-year old
girl was trying to support her mother S

in the other. Three boys, aged 3. 6, and
8, respectively, looked out timidly
through a half opened door. The woman
was sent to Bellevue Hospital
Joseph p Wall, the little girl said, is
her father. He worked in Buckbee's
restaurant, at Ludlow and Grand streets.
He has been drinking heavily for sever
al weeks past, she said, and returned
home intoxicated every night After
she and the boy had retired last evening,
her father burst open the door and reeled

A persistent effort is being made to get
Congress to reduce the tax on whisky and
tobacco. The tobacco men think they
can get the tax reduced from "a cents per
pound to 10 or IL cents per pound. and
90 cents per gallon to 25 cents. The de-
ficiency is to be made up by taxing in
comes. That is right. Take the tax off
the necessaries of life of the drunken,
sinking loafer, and put it upon the iu-
dustry of the man who attends to busi-
ness, and produces something.

HUMBUGGERY.

We have had nearly year OF Civil Ser
vice on the patent plan. 1t may be too
soon, now, to form judgment on the
workings Of the Civil Service under the
present Administration, but we must
weigh the promises for the future by the
experiences of the past. The question
that arises first, is, wherein does the
present Administration differ from 9TH
ers which have preceded it. in its rela-
tion to tho Civil Service. Those politi
clans who howl, SO persistently, for re-
form of the Civil Service, should remem-
Der that the great body of the American
people are capable of reading and reson-
ing and when Hayes, after his much
vaunted Letter Of Acceptance, and In
augural Address, appoints to high po-
sition in his Cabinet the most chronic
office seeker in America-Carl Schurz,
people naturally pause, and wonder how
great reforms are to be accomplished, af-
ter such a start. Again; has not Mr..
Hayes followed, precisely, the course Of
Mr.. Grant, in appointing his personal
friends to office? This we believe to be
right; a President should appoint to re-
sponsible positions men whom he knows
he can rely upon. What iseems strange
in the manner of conducting the Civil
Service under the present administra-
ton, is, that we had been led by persis-
tent protestations, to look for something
new in the management of public affairs.
Instead, we have the spectacle of these
great reformers denouncing former Ad.
ministrations, while following in their
footsteps

afraid she would die before any one came
to help her
Mrs. Walls injuries are considered to
be fatal. Wall was arrested in front Of
his home. In the police station he said
that he guessed IL didn't amount to
much When told that his wife would
probably die, he turned deathly pale, and
said that there must be some mistake
about it, as he was sure that he had no
intention OF iniuring his wife Among
the neighbors he has the reputation Of
being a brutal, quarrelsome man, who
had often beaten his wife.
And the conclusion Of the matter, TAX
en- from the Sun Of Friday:
MRS. Elizabeth Wall, who was brutal
| ly kicked by her husband. Joseph p
Wall, in their home at 4O3 East Twen-
tieth street, on "Wednesday evening, died
in Belleview Hospital yesterday. A post
mortem examination showed that death
was caused by laceration of the lower
part Of the abdomen. There were bruis
es on the chest, arms, neck, and lower
limbs. 1T is, said DR. Cushman, the
most brutally maltrcated subject that ]
have ever had to operate upon
In the Twenty-secOnd street police sta
ton, Coroner Woltman began a prelimi
nary examination. John, Joseph, Thorn
as, Willie, and Mariah, Mrs. Walls chill
dren, the oldest being only 10 years old
had been IN the station all night. Ma
riah, an intelligent girl, told the Coroner
the story of her fathers crime. 1t wa

told the Coroner that he quit work a

only beer and ale. He had an indistinC
recollection of having entered his hom

Hayes stock is a good deal under par
with the Republican members of the
Ohio Legislature. One night last week
there was caucus Of Republican mem
bers, to nominate some one for which the
Republicans should vote, for U. s. Sena-
tor. OF course, the vote would only be
complimentary. After many ballots it
was decided to cast their votes blank.
The following is reported as having taken
place during the proceedings:
Mr.. Dalzell favored Stanley Matthews.
He regarded Mr.. Matthews as an active
supporter of the Administration, and
should, therefore have this Endorsement
No one seconded the views of Mr.. Dal-
zell
When the vote was taken Matthews
received t0o votes. Who the other lunatic
was, other than Dalzell, the report does
not show. Was it G. Francis Train, ].

Jones. of the Waverly Watchman, re-
ceived his mail over the new Narrow
Gauge Railway. the other day, and as he
had not received any mail for three or
four days, it tickled him immensely
They have always had good mail facili-
ties at Waverly. Formerly, man footed
it down the Bottom from Chillicothe, and
carried the mail in his hat. but latterly
this slow method has given way to moro
rapid mule team. OF course, railroad
is too much for Jones TO take in, all at
once, but he will get used to the ways of
after while.

Gov. Young, in his message to the Leg

Gov Young, in his message to the Leg
islature slys:
am not one of those who believe that
legislation can regulate the relation be-
tween capital and labor except to make
additional safeguards for the protection
of each interest in its proper sphere.
The law Of supply and demand has been
found adequate in the past, to harmonic
them; but the great increase in our
population, in our wealth. and in our in
dustries, has made the relation of capi-
tai and labor more complex than for
merly.
The legislation of last winter, creating
the Bureau OF Labor Statistics, will be
found of great value to you, for the in
formation it will furnish you Of the num-
Der of men and the amount of capital
employed in the various industries it has
been possible to hear from. The defects in
the law. pointed out by the Commission
er, ought to be remedied by legislation
and especially should some law be enact
ed to punish the employers who issue. in
payment for labor, their script, payable
at their own stores, known as the truck
system. THE laborer is worthy Of his
hire" and the law should compel the
employer to pay him in money which is
| the legal tender OF the nation, so that ne
may be enabled to purchase his necessa-
ry supplies of food and clothing wherever
he pleases.
| 1t seems to US that this is rather
weak for Governor. even if he did be
come Governor by an s to arrangement
When parties have no agreement as tC
payment, the law compels the debtor tC
pay his creditor in legal tender money
whether it be gold, silver, greenbacks oi
copper. If parties agree to take furnace
scrip, or punch, whose business is it, save
the business of the contracting parties
We have contracts all the time for adver
tising, to be paid for in ink, type, &c. i
suits US, and the parties for whom VIZ
advertise. Has the Legislature any righ
to pass a law forbidding us making sucl
contracts
We believe Gov. Young is a demagogu,
or an ass Perhaps both.
