Expenditures on Roads and Bridges.

This Is the season when repairs are usually
made on our roads and bridges. In hi. de-
partmcnt Of our city government there seems
to be an opportunity for greater economy.
Without any apparent reason the expenses last
year were greater than for several years. There
was occasion for no large outlay in any one
place, the cost Of keeping the roads open dur

than what was paid by the same official in

THE INTERSTATE LEyEE C0NvEN-
TI0N.
kfTimtIos-D Democrat j,

80 lTimes-Democrat.]
The proceedings of the Levee Con-
vention at Vicksburg will be read with
peeplisry interest this morning by that
la4ia {IalS whose property lies behind
and bpro{ected by the ievees along
the banks Of the Mississippi and its
tributaries. The thoroughly represen-
tative character of the delelegates gave
assurance that they would voice the
sentiments of the people of the valley,
as did the recent levee convention at
Baton Rouge those of the people of
Louisiana. Both conventions, put those
sentiments in the shape of resol utions.
These are similar in form and identical
in substance. The Vicksburg conven-
ton confirms aud emphasizes the ac-
ton at Baton Rouge, and gives the
country to understand what the peo-
pie Of the valley require for the inns
proyenent of their commercial rela-
tions and protection of their homes in
the alluvial districts. AS at Baton
Rouxe, the work of the River Com.
nilesloa Is cordially approved. A com.
mittee of three from each State is APP.
pointed ITO visit Washington during
the session of Congress, and watch the
interests Of the valley and secure need
ed aid for the Improvement of the
great commercial highway, and this
work Will be supplemented by the
laborssof the delegates to the conven-
ton, which adjourns to meet in Wash.
ington in January.
With the Valley States united in
support of the resolutions adopted at
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg, the bat
tie is already practically won. Con-
gress viii not turn deaf ear to the
wishes of so large section of the coun-
try, especially when expressed with
such unanimity. Favorable action
may be confidently expected, if the
delegates to Washington are diligent
in the performance Of. the duty entrus-
ted to them and of this there can be
no doubt.
For this happy contamination Loui-
siana and the other States of the lower
valley will be largely indebted to Gov.
McEnery. It was he who brought
about an authoritative declaration OF
the sentiments of the people of the
States. He called the Baton Rouge
Onvention-which has already result
ed in vast benefit to Louisisna-and
RECOMMENDED to that body the advis-
ability Of calling a convention of the
States of the lower valley, to formulate
the views and explain the needs of the
people along the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi. The adoption of his views
called into being the body assem-.
bled at Vicksburg yesterday, and Sc.
cures to Louisiana the assistance OF
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
it its efforts to protect its lands from
overflow and secure the Improvement
of the channel of the river for CONNER
cial purposes.
The action of the convention is a de-
cided compliment to the Governor
The views enunciated in his address
at Baton Rouge find expression in the
resolutions adopted at Vicksburg. His
judgment is approved and his efforts

Herman.

Christmas and New Years passed
off pleasantly and quietly. The mas
querade ball on Christmas night, and
the dance at the Pullman House on
New Years night, were pronounced
perfect in their way, and each was a
fair sample of all entertainments en-
joyed by Herman's young folks. The
New Years reception by Misses Jew
EFT and Martyr, was one of the most
pleasant and enjoyable events in Her
mans social history Rev. S. Nc
Chesney will deliver the second lee
ture in the High School Lecture
Course, on Friday night. Subject:

benefit of the school, and we are in
formed that success is insured. 49,.
Speaking of entertainments-why
"the woods is full of 'em." The Good
Templar's Lodge announce an oyster
supper and entertainment for Friday
night, Jan. 18th. We are assured that
it will be success by the energetic
manner in which they are going at it.
The Ladies Aid Society also have an
entertainment under way, which is
liable to be precipitated upon the
heads of an ''unsuspecting public" at
most any time q. The winter term of
the Herman High School opened on
Tuesday, with fair enrolment of
scholars. With the three energetic
teachers in charge, Herman can ask
for no better school facilities Hon.
H. H. Wells, of Morris, was noticed

dealers have good supply on hand
and G. A. Smith has 500 cords en-

We'll, sir, times am pirt enough wild

in my mind how de niger happens to

You take white man an he am salts

but de niger amt like nobody else.
I've seen de Frenchman, de Dutchman,

an der hair all grow straight, but ies'
look at de niger. His hair grows out

of the greatest intellectual strength.
Up to 1890, the four last Congress men
who died, were drunkards. We have
an array of intellectual ability, scarce
ly to be equalled in any other country,
but intemperance tends to the ruin of
intellectual power, and the depletion
of the ranks of intellectual men.
3. The sale and use of intoxicants
as beverage, encourages every species
of immortality and vice. This bust
ness stands as the head center of all
the evils of our land.
4. This business causes immense
expenditures to prevent crime, and
punish crime. Thousands upon thou
sands now spent to erect and maintain
jails, state prisons, reform institutions,
poor houses, &C., might be directed to
the moral and intellectual improve
ment of communities.
5. This business burdens the coun-
try with enormous taxes. A single
county, in one year, spent 81 200 as a
direct result of the business.
6. The sale and use of liquors bars
the progress of civilization and reli-
gion.
Z. 1t renders useless the stringent
resolutions, and prevents determinations
of character.
s. Liquor drinking causes the ma
jority of cases of insanity, and large
proportion of disease and suffering.
8. The sale and use of liquors de.
stroys the peace and happiness OF
thousands of families.
10. They burden sober people, fol
the support of paupers. The tronaps
that infest the country, stealing ano
burning property. are made what they
are by this business.
IL, This whole business is contrary
to the "highsr law" contrary to com
mon sense.
II. We have right to rid ourselve:
of the burden, and the curse. 1t mus
be done! S. P. NJ

How to Distinguish an Editor.

A young lady friend asks, "How
can tell an editor when see him ~
Why, bless your sweet, sparkling eyes,
it is the easiest thing in the world.
You can tell him by his august air, by
the perfect fit of his clothing, by his
elegance of manner, and by his pro
found silence when surrounded by the
common herd ofpromiscuous society.
You may recognize him by the way
he spends his money, scattering green
backs as lavishly as shavings from a
planning machine. He generally drives
a double team to park buggy and
things hum. He also keeps two set
tiers, pointer and pet bull dog with
brunette nose. He is decked in pro-
fusion with the most extensive jew
elry, and sports gOld-headed cane
with a rose solitaire in the center. He
does not invest in marriage associa-
tions, and is as modest as a school girl.
But the chief point is, he always speaks
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. Follow these directions
and you cannot mistake.-EX.
