The Much Needed Coal Road,

CINCINNATI, Jan. 80, 18S0.-The
people of Cincinnati have not yet for
gotten the coal famine in the early
part of the present winter. In the
midst of it city paper longed most
wistfully for ''a coal road with down
grades, 40 miles long" Such a road
twenty miles shorter is within the
grasp Of the capitalists of Cincinnati.
This is the talked-of road to Jackson,
through Fayetteville and Hillsboro.
This road, at distance of 115 miles,
reaches the best soft coal in Ohio in
unlimited quantities. The road once
built would be to Cincinnati what the
Reading road is to Philadelphia. As
a coal road it would be the best pay
ing one in the State. Not only as a
coal road is this line of great import
ance. By it, down Symmes Creek to
the Ohio River, opposite Huntington,
is the shortest and best connection af-
forded with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad and with tide-water on the
Atlantic coast
Just at this time. this road can be
cheaply built. A road has already
been graded nearly to Fayetteville.
Thence the line to Hillsboro is through
a level country until it joins the Co
lumbus and Maysville road, two miles
west Of the latter place By the CO.
lumbus and Maysville an entrance to
Hillsboro can easily be secured. East
of HiIlsboro a great deal of work has
been done on what is almost an air
line to jackson, the old Cincinnati and
Parkersburg road. This old road-bed
and the work done upon it can be Sc
cured without difficulty The road
thence to the mouth of Symmes' Creek
has been carefully surveyed. All that
is needed is for Cincinnati capitalists
to become interested in the enterprise
and build the road. 1t offers advan-
tages to Cincinnati second only to
those anticipated from the Cincinnati
Southern. 1t not only opens commu-
nications with magnificent fields of
coal and iron, but affords the most di-
rect route to tide-water on the South
east Atlantic coast. Once in opera
ton, the road will pay better than any
other road in Ohio. Why it has not
been built is cause of wonder to
every one who has investigated the
merits of the line.
Columbus and Toledo are pushing
their roads into Southern Ohio.
Springfield and Chicago will soon
have connection with Southeastern
Ohio's coal fields and with the Chesa-
peake road. These roads will divert
trade that should come to Cincinnati.
Can our city afford to be fanked in
this direction? Has the Southern
road exhausted .Cincinnati's railroad
enterprise and spirit? Do we not
need coal road that can be depended
upon when the river dries up or is
frozen over? Have we no capital
seeking investment IN what must be
paying road? Is not this project
worth looking into? If so who will
be the first to move in the matter?
There's more in it than can be told in
the limits of this short communica-
tion. ID.

Temperance-LOcal Option.

Thousands of the people of Ohio
are now petitioning the Legislature
for law allowing them to protect
themselves against crime. This sounds
queerly, but it is the precise meaning
of the application for local option
law. The statute law Of Ohio has de-
clared selling liquor to be drank on the
premises Except native wines and
beer) a nuisance, and an offense pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment. 1t
has made the offense a crime just as it
has theft, and various other crimes. |
don't say that they are morally or So
cially ON the same level, any more than
theft is on level with murder, but
say that they are alike crimes. Society
does not view them in the same light
socially, but the law does, and the law
has remained unrepealed, representing
the sober judgment Of society. The
petitions to the Legislature for local
option ask that in those towns and
municipalities where the people agree
with the law they may be allowed to
exclude this crime by their own votes,
just as they do other nuisances-iust
as they tax themselves to make roads,
or make water works. In other words,
they ask to apply the great principle
of local self-government 20 the sup
preston of what the laws declares a
nrisance. Why any one should deny
such right seems a serious illustra-
ton of not only the inconsistency of
men, but especially of politicians. But
that the last Legislature did refuse
such right is good reason for exam
lining the position and aspects of the
question We may ask what is the
existing law on this subject, and why
is it not enforced? Why is this mea-
sure needed? And why should it be
denied? A very brief statement will
answer these questions.
The Constitution of 1850 forbids
the license of places to sell intoxicat-
ing drinks, but provided that laws
might be enacted to prevent the evils
arising therefrom." Accordingly il
1854 the Legislature passed an ac
providing first, that it shall be unlaw
full to sell Intoxicating liquors" to be
drank in, or upon, or abodt the prem
ises; second, That it shall be unlawful
to sell such liquors by any person, 0.

written order of parent, guardian, O

Home ReSnOnSihilitY.

The first institution ever organized
was the home. God set the solitary
in families. Although often sadly
mismanaged it still remains the best.
The sanctifying and saving influences
of the home are unequaled by any
other institution. The common
school, the Sunday-school, and the
church, are each important auxiliaries,
lending their aid in the work of edu-
eating the young, but neither nor all
combined can ever compensate for any
neglect-any want of interest or effort
on the part of those to whom is COM
mitted the care of the home, and its
inmates. 1t is the lessons conned in
childhood and in the dear old home
that come back to sanctify and bless
the gray-haired man when hard press
ed in the battles of life. There is no
other group of worshipers like those
who kneel around the home hearth
stone; no other lessons that remain
so long as those learned beside a pious
mothers knee. 1t has been well said
that 1.-The homes of the Nation are the
bulwarks of personal and National
safety and thrift"
But are not our homes being i'm
paired? 1t is true we have more pal
atial dwellings than our fathers. with
finer furniture, softer carpets, and
more expensive methods of living.
But the increased expense is largely in
answer to the demands Of fashion. 1t
costs more to entertain the Flora Nc
Flimseys than to provide for the wants
of the home circle; and we fear there
is many a mother who would be more
startled by a frown on the face of
Mrs. Grundy, than by the hectic flush
on the cheek of her own child.
And then, we have been adopting
new methods Of education. This work
has been turned over to the State and
the church. The consequence is that
fathers and mothers feel less RESPONSE
bility than formerly for the training
of their children. The State and
church are doing, perhaps, all that
may reasonably be expected of them
but they are not doing, in fact never
can do, what ought to be done, in the
way of mental and moral instruction
in every well organized home. An(
hence we sometimes fear that wha
: has been gained by our new methods
in one direction, is lost, if not NOR,
than lost, in another. No boy is SAT,
who has not received his besst lesson
in moral instruction in the home cir
Gle. And we Judge there are few mel
whose moral force Is not greatly Wea

DrunkardS' Wives.

If there be lionel y woman amid
the multitude of lone and sorrowful
women more to be pitied than anoth-
er, think it is wife looking upon
the one she has promised to honor, ly-'
ing upon the bed with hat and boots
on. Her comforter, who swore at her
as long as he could speak at all. Her
protector, utterly unable to brush fly
from his own face. Her companion,
lying in the stupor of death, with
none of its solemn dignity. As he is
entirely unconscious of her acts, |
wonder if she never employs the slow
ly passing moments in taking down
her old idol, her ideal, from its place
in her memory and comparing it with
its broken and defaced image before
her. Of all poor. broken idols, scat
tered into fragments for the divine pa
tience of womanhood to gather tOgeth-
er and cement with tears, such a ruin
as this seems the most impossible to
mold anew into any form of homeli-
ness. And if there is a commandment
seemingly impossible to obey, it is for
a woman to love man she is in dead
ly fear of, honor man she can't help
but be ashamed of, obey man who
can not speak his commands intelli-
gently.
The theory of recognizing. our
friends in a future world is a beauti-
full one, and worthy of much thought
but | think it is commendable to try
to keep our friends in a condition to
recognize us in this world, try to keep
a man while he is alive so he will
know his wife and children, and not,
as often occurs, turn them out into
the storm of a winter midnight, or
murder them in his frenzy.

An old German who lived down here
at South Chester sent his son to high
school but as the boy didn't seem to
learn anything in four years, the old
man thought there must be some favor
itism shown his neighbours children,
so he filed his pocket with greenbacks
and started for the school house. The
principal was glad to see him. The fa-
ther said: " come to see why is de
reason dat my child don't larn fast as
de rest of de children" Well, don't
know. 1t may be because he has not
the capacity to learn fast" The German
asked: "How much are dey2 I put $25
