WE have received a huge petition,
numbering some 700 names of citizens
of all parties in the middle east part
of the county, against the Norton Pike
Law, with request that we publish
it. This we cannot do, on account of
it's length We are also informed that
the petition in question is but one
among many of similar kind and
number which have been sent to the
Legislature recently, praying for the
repeal of the law. There is no doubt
but that the law may as well oe
stricken from the Statutes, for it is
not likely it will ever be brought into
practical use. 1t is unpopular, and
does not seem to be what the people
want-at the present time at least.

New Road System.

The present Legislature is talking
considerable about changing our road
working system, and several bills have
been introduced to that end. The
House standing committee has intro
duced a substitute bill, which COM
pletely revolutionizes the present sys-
TEN of road supervision and work in
the State. The levy for road purpo'
ses will be paid in money sothel taxes,
and giving Township Trustees gen
eral supervision over work upon the
highways, the regular Supervisors
simply having control of the men and
of the work in progress, thus securing
a general system of drainage and pix
ing. The bill exempts counties where
the present pike laws are put into op-
Grafton, as also the counties Of Hamil.
ton and Cuyahoga 1t applies more
particularly to those counties that de-
pend upon the natural soil for material
for roads, and upon the general laws
relative to roads and highways for
their construction and improvement.

THERE are in the treasury SlO5,25l,'

people prefer the paper representative

strange that gold accumulates more
rapidly than silver, and il is the latter

would demonetize.

ACCORDING to the last census, 1885,
ss3 persons died in the United States
during 1880. The death rate for the
whole Union was, therefore, ISL to
the 1000. That is low rate, and yet
it was much higher than that given in
1870, which was only 1873 the 1000,
while the death rate, according to the
census of 1880, was 1875.

A PROTEST FROM WRITER'S OF BOOKS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-In the Senate to-day
Mr. Morrill, presented remembrance against any reduc-
ton Of the tariff upon books below % per cent II was
signed by Oliver Wendell Holmes. T b. Adrch and John
G. whittier as writers of books" 1t sets forth the fol-
lowing reasons:
FIRST that the prosperity OF authors is closely con-
nected prosperity Of publishers, who are their
agents in manufacturing, advertising and selling the
books which they write. Sc 'ond, that American
books demand American publishers, and whatever
seriously checks the business Of publishing checks
the freedom Of writing Third that the removal or
essential reduction Of the existing tariff books would
give the foreign publisher an advantage over the
american publisher bv enabling him TO occupy the
American market with books written ana maze abroad
nj lower rate than they be made In this country
Fourth that the effect will be TO force American pub
fishers into the publication OF those copyright books
only whose reputation has already been made, or OF
those which professional user as reports OF courts
and school books Fifth that higher literature viii be
discouraged aud that the greatest volume OF current
literature which is in the form OF reading for the young
will guided by foreign authors instead OF Dy men Snu
women OF their own Nation.
