Some OF the newspapers. commenting
upon the resignation of United States
Circuit Judge MeCraTy, speak Of the in
suficiency ofthe salary-which is $4,000
per annum-urge that such positions
should pay as much or more than O for
tunate lawyer could make in his profess
sional practice, or as much as a corpora
ton would pay, To this contemporary
answers that the theory of our institu-
tons is simplicity in public positions.
As the masses of the people can never
be rich, it was the design of the fathers
Of our system that the distance between
the high and the low in the scale of for
tune should never be great gulf which
neither side should see across. Imbued
with this idea, men Of liberaity. and
without even tinge Of the vulgar dem,
agogue in their characters, opposed the
doubling OF the presidents salary, and
vet condemn tae universal tendency to
increase official emoMments. When the
disparity between the pay of our rep,1b-
Iican officials Of monarchical and aristo-
cratic Europe is pointed out the fact is
at once Omitted and the argument an
swered BY recalling the purposes for
which we instituted different system.
Official life ID the United States cannot
be what II is abroad and it is q peryer-
sica Of the ideas ef the founders Of our
popular system to attempt TO make it SO.

things N oursown and that under any
other form OF government are not oppo--
site, and ther efore cannot. be instruc-
tive.

one of t most economical methods Of

Roads That Need Reforming.

Major Hugh Z. Brooks remarks that
the cost of bad roads can never be sum
med up till We are able to compute the
value Of time, life, health and happi-
ness. Part of his tale Of "frightful
LOSSES" traceable to this source, We
quote from Rural Home:
''Here are farmers going ten miles to
market with forty bushels Of wheat
when they might draw eighty with more
ease if the roads were suitably graded
and prepared-half the day thrown
away. A we'll broken team will move
several tons on road level smooth and
hard. Here is valuable young horse,
stuck in the mud: indiscreetly urged he
takes issue with his driver and passes
into the category of 'balky' animals.
Here is a span Of horses iaded, spawned
and windbroken by drawing loads over
steep. slippery and miry places. Here
are people overtaken by storms drag
ging slowly along through mud and
mire, Immensely uncomfortable. Here
are invalids who started out for health
delayed and damaged by the rough and
rutty ways. Here are persons going on
moonless midnights to minister TO the
sick and dying, themselves in imminent
danger from the protuberances, pits and
precipices that line the roadsides."
And here, in conclusion, are the writ
er's views as to what we ought to do
about it,
eve should secure good grade,
either by passing around the hills which
can often be done without much in
crease of distance, or by carting them
into the valleys, A steep hill ON lead
ing road, compelling tesmsters to load
light, generation alter generation, costs
ten times as much as it would cost to
grade it down. Soft ground should be
turnpiked, the road-bed raised high,
with deep little bitches at the sides, hav.
ing free outlet for water, and no scrap
ing in of sod, clay and muck afterward
Small stones and very coarse gravel al
least a foot thick well rounded up and
covered with little fine gravel make 8
good roadhed, and nothing else will,
After putting the road into proper
shape, don't tolerate ruts, but hoe back
the gravel every few days till the road
is smooth and Well-settled. ;" '~

Common salt spread upon the ground

mineral matters used in stifening the

The wicked newspapers are making
q good deal of fun over the itemized ex-
penses of the United States Senate late
ly published. From the accounts Of the
sergeantat-arms, it appears that each
senator averaged, deducting Sundays
and adjournmsnts, over three quarts of
mineral water day during parts Of the
months of July and August, 1882. The
consumption of Apollnaris in these
months was also tremendous, the bills
for this beverage aggregating $406.50.
During the same months the ice bills
were $l007, and the enormous total of
20l, 900 pounds is reported as consumed,
or nearly 5000 pounds for each senator,
deducting Sundays and adjournments,
for the months Of July, and August.
Seventeen hundred two-grain quinine
pills were furnished for senators, who
must have had attacks of malaria, and
preferred not to cali in a doctor. This
is ridi ulous enough to one who does
not understand that large portion of
the Apollinaris, ice bills, quinine, &C.,
stands for fine wines and cigars, which
could not be named without still
greater scandal.
