RoADs.-Alexandria needs roads as
we'll as cooperative enterprise and Ia
Dor. The necessity of country roads
requires an argument. From Fifth
street to the foot hills tributary to this
Town, every mile bears testimony in
favor of rural roads. 1t seems as if
every effort tended towards diverting
trade from this point, for by reading
the reports of the Police Jury it will
be seen that the members from the
lower wards tributary to Lecomte are
always opening new roads and build
ing bridges, whilst this ward appears
to make no progress in getting good
roads leading into Alexandria. One
week of rain will make every road
coming into this Town sea of slack
mud and we know from experience
that every food of rains washes nearly
all the bridges from here to Cotile.-
We think, as far as we have heard,
that only three or four bridges stood
the freshet of this summer and they
had been built before the era of strict
economy, the prospective payment of
the Parish debt (sic), and the happy
millennium of a labor kept sober by a
strict construction of the law so far as
that labor is concerned. Roads we
want and if the Police Jury cannot
give us roads, let special tax be le-
We'd by this Town to be applied to
keeping in repairs the main trunk
roads leading here. There are only
four, say: up the river, down the riv-
er, Bayou Rapides and Bayou Robert.
Not over six miles of the up river load
need to be looked after; the lower
river road needs very little care; ten
miles of the Bayou Rapides road is all
that requires attention, and the Bayou
| Robert road to Harris is the only part
generally in bad order. A tax fol
roads will pay hundred iold whilst a
railroad tax would only be prospec
lively beneficial. Yes, give US good
roads and more of them.

THAT there should be differences Of opin-
1on and even quarrels in churches is not
strange. The regenerate man possesses many
Of the traits of him who is supposed to be yet
deep in trespass and sin. But it must prove
y puzzle to many that members of the same
Christian organization could be wrought up
to such pitch of frenzy as to do murder.
The rioting that has taken place at Detroit
and the imminent danger of fresh outbreaks
there are calculated to make one wonder of
what value religion is as check on excuses.
IL it be answered that these Polish Catholics
are unlearned, it simply shows that they have
not taken advantage of educational adj
vantages. While religion is supposed
70 exert wholesome restraining
influence upon even the unlettered, the
Spirit of God working upon the heart Of man
ought to have the effect Of removing or
softening the grosser passions, and it would
deed as murder, could find no tolerance in the
heart of any man in the bosom of the church.
But in the Detroit affair, as in that only few
weeks ago at Toledo, the spectacle is presented
of an entire church gone mad, and hot with
the desire to murder and destroy. Men,
women and children alike seem insane in their
frenzy, and all brought about by compare
lively trivial cause The inevitable con.
clusion must be that there is some
thing wrong with the church in which
each awful excuses are possible. The
Polish congregation at Detroit must be little
different from herd of human cattle, held
in organization by fear or superstition. We're
it not for the scandal of such proposition, it
might be argued that the church should take
it upon itself to suppress these murderous out
breaks. Yet how much less scandalous is it
that organized society must protect itself
from thema The bloody impulses Of these
madmen should be promptly and effectively
checked-not only to shield society, but to
save the church from the disgrace Of such
outrageous proceedings. There is no reason
Why the entire mob should not be dispersed
ct once, and with such vigor that no thought
of rallying again will be entertained.

A Y. n. g. A, BUILDING.

A new building for the Young Mems Chris
tan Association in this city is an absolute
and imperative necessity. It has been ne
cessity for years, but the time has now come
when it must be built There are no ifs nor
ands about it; the new structure must be put
under way and be ready for occupancy as
soon as possible. The only question to be
discussed now is methods. It is too late, and
unnecessary as well, to debate the value of a
Young Mems Christian Association in city
like Indianapolis. Fortunately, even under
the disadvantages incident to an old rattle
trap of home, the association in this city
has record which commends it to the active
sympathy and support of every thoughtful
man, whether Christian or not. In this world,
whatever substantial and permanent en-
croachment is made upon evil is by displace-
ment. A coffee-house will take the place
of saloon, and do more for the tenn
perance reform than series of meetings
protracted till doomsday, attended only by the
men and women already sanctifed to this
most important moral movement. So a
Young Mems Christian Association, with
comfortable and commodious homo, with
light cheerful parlors, well-appointed gymna-

SPECULATIoNS as to the actual character of
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's religious be-
lief are not infrequent among those who are
given to a discussion Of such matters Some
Of his recent utterances bearing on this sub
ject have been of nature so vague and con
Trajectory that the public may well be ex-
cused for an inability to formulate the creed
Of tho distinguished divine, since he seemed
unable or unwilling to do so himself. 1t has
been supposed by some that he leaned to the
panetheism which requires
'he sun, the moon, the stars, the sea, the hills and
Are not these soul the vision of Him who reignss
Is not the vision He though He be not that which He
Dreams true while they last and do we not live in
dreamsi"
Under the circumstances, therefore, Mr..
Beechers sermon of last Sunday is something
of a surprise in the distinctness with which
he defines his views on the personality of
God. and the disclosure that those views are
strictly sound according to the orthodox be-
lief. He said
1--WE must think of God as a person, al
though the limitation of human personality
is such as by no means to cover the whole
extent of what would be divine personality;
but our personality represents more nearly
perfect conception of the divine existence
than any other point in human experience. y
Any other method of thinking of God
evaporates the Divine Being. That He is a
tendency to righteousness is all very well in
an essay or poem; but as an object OF
thought, influence and communion, it really
takes away all thought of God. No man ever
wants to throw his arms around the neck Of
q tendency. If we are to worship God, and
to love God, and to obey God, there must be
something that shall answer to the training
that we have had in human life, and along
which training our affections, and our obedi-
ences, and our reverences have had their out
fow."
Admirers of the Plymouth pastor, who have
feared that he was wandering into paths which
might impair his usefulness, will be pleased
with this plain avowal of belief which it is
the fashion to accept with notifications, if at
oil. Others, weak in the faith, and who are
given to a dependence upon teachers and
preachers for the statements of proper doc

ing-rooms, win do moro for the benefit of
young men, be better aid to public morals
and the welfare Of the city, than any number
Of meetings attended only by those who do
not specially need the practical and personal
ministrations Of the gospel. Of course, the
work of building new association home
must be largely committed to the hearts and
hands of the church people, for in all such
enterprises it is the church that must lead
and carry them forward. The thoughtless
and goddess may scoff at the church
and at religion as much as they
please, yet it remains fact that
the church bears the burden Of all advance in
humanitarian movements. So in the nature
Of the case, the churches Of Indianapolis must
be the nucleus Of the movement for the put
ting up of a Y. III. C. A. building. Subscrip-
tons for the necessary funds should be under
taken by churches, and every church in the
city should be represented according to its
ability in the walls of the coming structure
But outside Of the churches it is an enterprise
that appeals to every shrewd, sagacious bust
ness man and taxpayer. Simply upon the
low plane Of business and economic self
ishness, new Christian Association
building commends itself. As a police
and sanitary measure it will more than
pay. Merchants and manufacturers who
employ young men should be glad to take an
interest in the work, paying for it just as they
pay for insurance policies or any necessary ex-
pense of their business.
Other cities Of the country have built and
are building fine homes for their Y. NJ. C. As
sociations, and Indianapolis must not and will
not allow the year 1886 to close without see
ing commodious, substantial, well-equipped
building erected on the site of the present dis
grace. In Albany, N. Y, one gentleman has
given $50, 900 for new association building;
Atlanta raised more than $100, 1000 for one;
Nashville raised $50, 600, and so it goes. At

property worth $4,000. How such a home
would strengthen the hearts and hands of the
Association, and make it vital force over
the hundreds and thousands Of young men
who need its influence and saving power. We
believe the people of indianapolis will
raise this amount and put it
at the disposal Of the association.
