We noted the fact short time ago that
a new and splendid road had just been
completed around the point of Lookout
Mountain, connecting Chattanooga with
! the Wauhatchie valley. The Chattanooga
Times Of Tuesday last announces that as
a result of the building of this road a
''boom" has already started in real estate
In the valley, AMI that some places here.
tofore worth only $40 per acre have been
sold at $40, and that there are marked in-
dications that a new era of prosperity is
dawning on that part of the section al
iected.
During the past ten years the authori-
ties of Hamilton county, Tenn, have
built several frst-class macada mixed
roads to points in the county, aud each
one has added very largely to the value of
real estate near it, aud the enlightened
policy of building good and permanent
roads has been eXemplited in a manner
that should stimulate other sections of the
Southern country to efforts in the same
direction.
The value OF good roads to a community
cannot be estimated in dollars and cents
4
rial prosperity of a country, but it's moral
and mental development. Poor roads are
evidences o. a more or less poor state of
morals and a want of culture, Just as
they are evidences of a want OF thrift.
Good roads are not generally very diff
cult or expensive TO construct. While in
Hamilton county, Tenn, costly grading
and matchmaking was necessary, in
most sections of the Southern country,
this state especially, such is not the case.
In this section sand is the chief obstacle
to be overcome in the construction Of
good roads, and there are plenty of oys-
ter shells Ootainable, which make "A mag
niticent road bed. In some sections OF
Georgia and neIghboring States little need
be done u secure excellent roads except
20 look after the drainage.
Probably the money invested in making
good roads brings better return than
that invested In any other way The re-
turn is indirect, but it is nevertheless
large Good roads increase the value of
land in their vicinity, make markets
easier OF access and decrease the wear
and tear upon vehicles and draught ami
mails.
This subject is worthy of careful con-
sideratiOn. 1t is a matter of reproach
tnat 50 few counties in this and other
Southern states nave adopted an Intelli-
gent and thorough system OF road i'm.

Whether labor is a marketable COM
modify or not is a question that it is not
necessary now, perhaps, TO discuss. 1t
is, however, subject to the laws of de-
mand and supply, and all efforts to con-
troll it without regard to these laws have
proved abortive, and will probably CON
tinue to prove so. The sooner, therefore.
that laborers learn the first lessons in
political and practical economy, and
acknowledge the truth OF that which is
undeniaDle, the better it will be for them.
The MORNING NEWS has several times
mad occasion to advise workmen in over
crowded sections OF the country where
work was scarce and wages necessarily
low, to look to the agricultural districts
for homes and employment. True, farm
wages are comparatively low in dollars
and cents, but there are compromising
advantages in farm life which will more
than make up the difference in money
wages. Besides this, in many Western
and Southern States, active, intelligent
men, who are unable TO buy or rent farms.
can arrange TO work land on shares, and
80 become their own masters, and be en-
aOleu ny INDUSTRY anu eCOuOub 10 graz
ually become independent.
Thousands of workmen cooped up in
cities and manufacturing villages look on
country life as partaking Of most OF tho
hardsnips and deprivations that are ex-
perienced by pioneers. This is very in
correct view. What, with pure air and
water, cheap fuel, and vegetables aad
fruit for almost the wishing for them, the
birds, the bees, the flowers. and that
communion with nature that few in town
can understand, country life Is usually
delightful, even Tor the poor. Then there
is generally moral and social purity that
is as grateful as the purity OF the air and
the water. Country life develops that in
dyiduality IN man which gives him self
respect without arrogance.
1T is stated that the demand for farm
laborers from the West and portions OF
the South is now very great. Immigrants
arriving at New York from Germany and
Ireland find ready homes, and the supply
is said to be wholly inadequate. This is
an opportune time for many idle workmen
to change their plans in life for the better.

The Pension NetOes.

The Republican members OF the Senate
Committee on Pensions don't ike tue
Presidents veto messages, aud insinuate
jha. rot only is the tone OF them undlgni-
iiea but that the statements IN some Of
them, OF the grounds on which the yetoes
are based, are incorrect. 1t vas to be ex-
pected that the vetOes would not please
the Republicans, and it was to be expected
a, SO that they would take tue first oppor-
tunity to reply to the President by appeal
ing TO the soldier n.iment.
1t is probable. however, that the course
they are pursuing will not prove to be
wise one. The country unde rstands
pretty well that the pension business has
been made lto play a prominent part in
politics, and it is ready to sustain the
President in calling halt in it.
There may be few instances in which
the President has made mistakes, but it
will hardly be denied that he IS on the
right track.
rake for instance the very last pension
bill which he vetoed. What are the facts?
The bill gave pension TO William Boone.
He had been in the army three months,
when he was taken prisoner and soon
after parOled. tie returned to his home in
Illinois. and after he had been there eight
months be was seriously hurt by the burst
ing of a cannon at a Fourth of July cele-
brdtion. He was assisting to fire the
cannon. He admitted that he had no
thought of applying for pension until
ne became quite poor and his old friends
advised him to do so.
There is certainly no law under which
William Boone could draw pension, and
the granting of it BY Congress was more
an act of charity than anything else. II
Congress Is going to grant pensions TO
u those VINO are objects Of charity il will
soon have more applications than it can
well attend to.
1t will hardly be denied by any fair
minded person that tle Boone bill ought
to have been vetoed, and yet the Repup-
Ilcan members OF the Committee on PEN
sions say that all claims for pensions IA
vOrably recommended ny them were care
fully examined. The Senate passed 400
pension bills in one hour. 1t
clearly knew nothing about the
bills, and the truth probably
is that the committee charged with in
quiry into their merits gave them little or
no attention. The statement of the Re-
publican members of the Pension Com
mttee, that the President accepts the
reports of clerks in the Pension Bureau
rather than those OF the Pension Com
mttees OF Congress when inqur-
ing into pension bills, Will no.
weaken the vetoes. The country
knows that it is the business of the Pen
sion Bureau to find out all the facts re-
lating to pensions claims, and the bust
ness is thoroughly done. Congressional
committees are not so much Interested in
knowing whether a claimant has valid
claim as they are in knowing whether he
has political influence. The Republicans
may "talk back" to the President in this
pension matter, but they will not make
any political capital by doing so.
