A Matter for Thonght-Roads,

American Agriculturist for January.
Good roads not only cave horse
flesh, but vehicles. Take what
are ordinarily called "good roads"
and "bad roads," and a vehicle
used on the first only will last
twice as long, at least, as one used
on the latter only, No one can
doubt that country roads would be
fifty per cent, better than they now
are, il the labor and money put
upon them were properly applied.
How to have that work and money
properly applied is the matter to
be discussed now, that the best
methods may bo made ready for
adoption whom the season for road.
making comes. Whether or not
the road.bed should be only surface.
drained, or undetermined with tile,
or BY putting in corduroy founda.
tion; whether or not gravel, or
plank, or tile-these are points TO
b. decided before spring. The
farmers, club should also discuss
specifically the repair Of each high
way in the neighborhood. This
will lead, among other things, 10
an understanding whether or not
it will be proper to shorten a high
way by Strengthening it; whether
a road that now goes around a hill
should be carried over it by grad
ing down the hill, or whether max.
ing a road longer by carrying il
around d hill will be compensated
for by the less grade; how to keep
weeds FROM growing in the high.
ways, TO seed the adjacent land,
aud many other points which, thus
being settled, would greatly add TO
the imprOyement of the roads.

Since the Morrison bill will not
be considered, we are glad TO see
that the Randall Democrats are
getting ready a measure for the re.
ductiOn Of the revenue and the re.
vision Of the tariff that will doubt.
less be far more acceptable 10 the
people. All are decided that the
taxes must be reduced even TO a
greater extent than proposed BY
Col. Morrison aad the question Of
how is now under consideration.
It is likely that the bill will pro.
pose the repeal Of the revenue on
tobacco and Oh spirits that are used
in the arts and manufaeiures.-
Also il is likely that the duty on
sugar will b. reduced and some Of
the Coarser woods that are not rails
ed 10 this country and are import.
ed for making cheap fabrics will be
repealed and the tariff on the finer
woods raised as high as it was be.
fore il was reduced by the Republi
cans. There may also be reduc,
tions made in regard 10 iron ore,
lumber aud salt The tariff on
pteel rails Is now SIT un the tom
This is much higher than ia neces-
sary for protection, aud will no
doubt be greatly reduced.
Such changes as the above will
make reduction greater than Mr..
Morrison proposed aud will bring
down the revenues TO something
near The expenses Of the Govern.
ment.
There will be but eight weeks
more of this session Of Congress in
which 10 reduce the taxation, and
with other important bills already
under consideration, ii will take
active work to effect anything be-
fore adjournment. But the people
demand'all the speed possible.

with acute inRamma!ory rheuma.
tism. He will be sadly missed by
the whole country. A Washington
correspondent says Gen. Logan was
a man Of the strongest individual
ity. He had deep seated prejudices
aud convictions, was an extremely
bitter partisan, and Of the most IN.
doubted courage. lie was thor
ougbly genuine, and like all i'm
pulsive men had q warm side for
those who knew how TO touch it,
But partisan as be was, he would
separate from his party when his
own sentiment Of what was fair
and right came in conflict with its
interests. A memorable instance
Of this was the last occasion when
ho took part in any noted debate in
the Senate, on the motion to inyes.
tigatO the charges Of bribery and
corruption in the election Of Sena.
tor Payne, Of Ohio. He voted
against the motion, although his
course exposcd him to the most
malignant attacks from Republican
journals. Gen. Logan, like the late
OK Senator Howe, Of Wisconsin,
was ono Of that exceedingly small
number Of men having long public
careers at Washington who never
ainassed riches. He was poor all
his life, while many with whom
he sat in one or the other house Of
Congress, and who came here with
no moro in their pockets than he,
amassed millions. The slightest
breath Of suspicion never rested on
his integrity, and no man of all
the Hobbies which have tluurished
here ever dared to approach him.
Perhaps one Of the greatest defects
in his character was an over sensi.
tiveness, which often made him
take things in personal sense
which we're not so intended. His
term in the Senate would have
ended four years from next March,
and a Republican will Of course
succeed him.
