BUTLER'S BITE.


the 23d.
BUTLER'S BITE.
When Senator Butler took hold
of the road problem, many predict
ed that he had :.bit off more than he
could chaw.' His second letter has
appeared. After quoting the road
law he says: -ss;si5t5...
Who feels inclined to lodge a
complaint upon which an indict-
ment can be foundedagainst commits
sioners who have done their best to:
discharge their duties faithfully? !?
A still more ungraeious piece Of
business would it be to arraign a
superintendent or overseer, who
may be your neighbor and friend,
serving without pay and perhaps
against his will, for it appears he
mast serve if appointed, although
he may be disqualified by want of
experience or otherwise for the
place. The penalties are prac-
tically dead letters. A ''hand" may
60 upon the road, carrying a hoe
broken at both corners, a worthless
shovel or axe or mattock, cut few
bushes, dig little earth, open a
drain or two, all Of which may be
wholly Intellectual in improving the
road. and yet he has complied with
the letter Of the law. He may
never travel the road once in twelve
months. He may not own a vehicle
in which to travel, and mule path
would answer his purposes as well
as a macadamized road; but how
are you going to reach him ? He
has responded to the warning" of
the overseer, who was required" by
the superintendent, who was"order-
ed'' by the commissioners, and he
has worked the road Such divi-
sion of responsibility in public
administration will take the mar
row out of any law. There never
was truer maxim than the trite
one, 'sWhat is everybody's business
is nobody's business" and this road
law is. a striking example OF it. l
have endeavored to state it fairly.
I have stated it fairly because l
have taken it from the book, and
have given all that appears to me
material to full understanding of
it's scope. I wish it to be understood
that in criticising the law I am not
rejecting upon the men charged
with its execution. have no doubt
they are generally as good men as
the country affords. l am dealing
with principles, not men, and in no
spirit Of mere fault-finding and cap
tious criticism. for / have lived lSpg
enough to learn that nothing is
easier than to find fault with and
pick to pieces any system of laws
created by man, and few things
more difficult than to substitute
something better In this case,
however, trust shall be able to
suggest an improvement, but be-
fore entering upon that | will en-
deavor to show, approximately at
least, what our public roads now
cost the people of the State.

Why suffer from dyspepsia, indig-
estion, want of appetite, loss of
strength, lack of energy, malaria,
intermittent fevers, etc.? Browns
Iron Bitters never fail to cure these
diseases. They act like q charm on
the digestive organs, removing all
dyspeptic symptoms, such as belch-
ing, heartburn, billiousness, etc.
Remember it is the only iron pre-
paration that will not blacken the
teeth or give headache. Ask your
druggists concerning its merit.

On a farm near Calhoun, Ca,
there are three families of white
people, consisting of eight adults
and three children, not one Of whom
can read or write, nor is there a
Bible in any of their houses, and
yet the good people of this village
yearly subscribe quite a sum of
money to buy. Bibles for the poor
heather in foreign lands.

rHE TIME has COME.

THE TIME BIAS COME.
twenty-five thousand dollars, at
the outside, would buy the Mollohon
Block. Many of cur citizens have
long cherished the hope that they
would live to see the Public Square
enlarged by converting Mollohon
Block into public property, and
each succeeding fire in that block
has opened the discussion of the
question, whether it would not be
wise for the town to buy the prop
erty. Last Thursday night the
discussion was renewed by a forci-
BILE, if not unanswerable. argument
in favor of the project. Not one
complete building is left on the
square, and the property is cheaper
to-day than it will ever be again.
If anything is to be done in this
matter, it should be done immedl-
ately; for every additional nail
that is driven into the Crotwell
stores will add to the cost Of the
property. With that block of
building out of the way, the frame
buildings below Martins, which are
now a tinder-box, would be replaced
with handsome brick stores. The
CrotweI Hotel would stand on
Monohon Row; and we would have
as pretty town as any other in the
State. Besides, the Public Square
is so small as to render travel, at
times, mostimpossible. This dis
advantage has often been experienc-
ed by our country friends in mar
keting season.
But perhaps the weightiest con-
siderafion is this. The fire fend
seems to have determined that
Mollohon Block shall not stand.
The stores there have been so
crowded together that it was almost
impossible to burn one without
destroying others. Most of our
destructive fires-all within the
year-have originated in Mollohon
Block; and, owing to the narrow
ness of the streets, every fire there
endangers the whole town. Now
that the buildings are in ruins, let
the ruins be scattered and the
square made public.
The property can be bought and
the town should be willing to pay
all that cannot be made up by
private subscription. The Singley
lots could not be sold without an
order of Court; but that could be
obtained without difficulty by the
proper parties. The opening of
this square would greatly increase
the value of the property lying ad-
;acent and facing towards it on
three sides, and there is no doubt
that the owners of this property
would subscribe literally to insure
Che success of the project. Yes,
the thing can be done; and it ought
to be done. Moreover, if it is not
done now, it will be needless to re-
open the discussion hereafter. Let
MS have breathing space.

When man leaves the old farm for the
city, succeeds in getting into fortune by
hook or by crook, especially by crook, and
is ashamed to have his old father and
mother visit him because they don't dress
in the latest style and are ignorant of the
ways of fashionable society, he is a con-
temptible migrate, and ought in the phras-
eology of the plague-stricken west, to be
clicked to death by grasshoppers. Money
is good thing to have, and we only wish
there was more of it in the world or that
few bushels more of gold dollars had fallen
to our lot; but when bank bill is SO large
that it hides your old fathers face, and is
SO long that you can't look over it standing
on tiptoe and see your old mothers proud
but anxious look, it is too much for any
man to have. The money that makes you
ashamed of the humble homestead in which
you were born is counterfeit coin and not
worth your toll to possess.

it should be done, you must go about it
cooliy, moderately, faithfully, heartily.
Hurrying, fretting, fumbling, spluttering,
will do no good-not in the least. Are
great works of great men done in a hurry?
Not at all. They are the products of time
and labor-the result of slow, solid devel-
opment. Nothing ought to be done in a
hurry. 1t is contrary to nature, reason,
right, Justice and common sense. Your
man of hurry is no sort Of character at all
