RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The railroad bill which has been
agreed upon BY the committee on H.
ternsl improvements. and which we
print in full to-day, is probably tho
most important measure that Will 10
passed upon at jefferson City this
winter. We need not say to our read.
ers that we approve it, for they WIN
know that 1t Is exactly In line with
what we have advocated in legislation.
We do not believe, for many reasons
that it is practicable for the legislature
to regulate freight rates directly, and
we do believe that the railroad COM
missioners can do it and do it success
fully If the law gives them the necessary
power. The strength OF the railroads
ia ip the division Of members Of the
legislature. 1t IL that that causes us
to fear legislation direct, IS whenevel
| the least flaw in . law occurs the rail
road lobby can defer legislation to-
wears, ss it has done up to this time
| Whom the commissioners al readtus
the law from day to day the road
| will know that evasions are futile, ant
they will obey the law. Lot the mem
bers unite. Their committee ha
agreed. Let them pass the bill, an
let it not be said that it Is impossible t.
secure legislation in Missouri agains
powerful corporations.

DUB ROADS.

The question of good roads Is ono OF
the most important before the people.
We do not expect any benefits from
legislation, indeed we do not see what
legislation can do. The county can
now, If It had enough revenue, wsfk
the roads by contract. but there is not
sufficient revenue and will not be. We
are compelled to continue the present
system. Smaller districts may occa-
sionally do good, but as q matter OF
fact, the best worked roads are where
one road overseer has two or more dis
tricts. Our idea ia to combine the sys-
TENS. This can DO done successfully.
Let the court, the people and the over
cooperate to the very best adj
vantage, and then let the county court,
as early in tho spring as possible, EN-
ploy q gang Of say ton good hands,
with q competent superintendent, sup
ply him with q complete outfit of pile
driver, road machines, heavy plows,
scrapers, thing, &c. Let them camp out.
aud passing yer all the roads; let them
thoroughly drain all Doggy places,
drive down piles where needed, and
generally do such work as the ordina'
~ road overseer and his men canno,
do, thus experimenting and helping
them out, aud, our word for 1t, In thret
years Lafayette county will hsve The
best dirt roads In central Missouri.

The new p~estofice appropriation bill
makes two important changes in the
present rates Of postage. 1t is propos
ed to charge two cents An ounce, or
fraction of an ounce, for carrying first
class matter; that Is to say, letters and
sealed parcels on which people now
pay postage at the rate Of two cents for
each half ounce. On letters requiring
a single postage stamp, there will, of
course, be no reduction. Letters which
now 60 for four cents will 90 for two;
while on all heavier parcels belonging
to this class of mail matter the postage
will be reduced one-haif. The other
change proposed by the bill affects
second-class matter. The postage on
newspapers and other periodicals reg
ularly mailed from q recognized Office
of publication IL now two cents g
pound. The bill reduces the rate to
one cent a pound. This is q measure
in which everybody 10 interested and Il
