Defects in the Road.

Some Of our road.workcrs have de-
tected limp in the late act on roads.
Formerly when IN obstruction encum-
bcred any road its overseer, upon two
hours notice, could bring his hands out
and remove the obstruction or if the
road by other causes became impossible
he could keep the hands at work until
it was safe for travel.
After Il due number of days work
have now been done the overacer has no
further authority over the hands, so he
cannot force them to 90 upon the road
After he has expended all the money al
lotted to his section Of road he has no
further resource at hand, and if any
thing should then happen to his road
the question is, How shall he proceed :?
He has neither hands nor money to hire
them with. He and the commissioners
are responsible. If Il storm should
blow Il lot of trees across the road, they
may lay there, provided the ovcrseer
and his hands do not 90 to work upon
their resources, until next years taxes
are due.

$500 3lJ

Total 1902 3i5
1t is thus seen that the aggregate for
furniture and repairs under Grant and
Hayes was four times greater than it
should have been. Also, that the ap-
preparation for furniture, instead Of be
ing qaadrennial, was made annually
Daring eight years the notorious Bah
cock handled this money, and that fact
tells the story, in connection with the
other fact that Boss Shepherd was the
man Of "repairs."
That these appropriations were not
expended according to law is capable Of
proof if Il proper and stern investigation
should be ordcrcd. Everybody familiar
with the White House knows that no
such amount of furniture WAS put into
it during the last twelve years. Con
federatcs Of Babcock may have given
vouchers for furniture, but they never
delivered it.
Recurring to the statement from
Washington that Il large part Of the
furniture had not been changed Gin ten
years" the question will naturally be
asked, What became Of this three hun
dred thousand dollars? The ready ans
wcr is that great portion Of it was
stolen outright, and the accounts were
passed by accommodating Auditors 0!
the Treasury, just as those Of liowgatc
were, with prompttude and without
challenge.
Power has the faculty Of overcoming
scrutiny at Washington Hayes drew
his salary u month in advance for a
long time, and when Il mild suggestion
was made that this course was unusual,
he changed the practice from the lst to
the 10Th Of the month, still in advance,
and when not dime had been earned
for the long or the short period. He
knew that the Treasury officials com
mitted Il felony in every instance by
passing an account for money not due.
But as thrifty patriot he wanted to
pocket the interest on his salary, which
was Immediately invested, ana ne COM
manded silence on the part Of the en-
forced subordinatcs by the reserved pen
atty Of removal in case they dared to
speak Of his criminal and despicablo av-
arice.
After all these liberal appropriations,
for which Congress deserves blame,
when Gen. Garfield entered the White
House on the 18th Of March, he could
not find ordinary table equipment for
the use Of his family, and he was
Obliged to buy Immediately dinner and
breakfast sets of china and to order sup
plies Of linen. In the graphic language
of Il member of the family, there was
not "a napkin in the house"
