ABOUT ROAD MAKING.

There should be no demagogy in the
treatment of the road question. If the
present method of making and maintain
ing roads is better than any other pro-
posed, it should be maintained. If it is
not, it should improved. When apollo
gistS of the present system, replying to
the declaration that men who undertake
to work out their taxes do not perform
honest days work, content themselves
with the assertion that the honesty of
men is assailed, they beg the question
and make an unworthy appeal to the
baser instincts of men. Is the declara-
tion that men do not do an honest day
work upon the roads well founded?-
That s the question, and it is an import
ant one. If it can be demonstrated that
the working out of taxes assessed upon
lands and other property produces good
results, it is in order to do so. If, on the
other hand, it is shown that the roads
receive little benefit from the taxes so
levied and worked out, it is not sufficient
answer to say that such demonstration is
an imputation upon the good faith and
! integrity of such men. Sensible people
will readily see that that is tri1ing with
the question.
In this township of Richland, making
fair estimate of the time spent in two
days labor, and adding to that the road
tax levied upon lands and personal pro-
perty, there is annually expended about
$500 upon roads, outside of st. Clairs-
vile corporation. What is the result?
For more than two months men who live
off the line of turnpikes have been, prac-
tically, cut off from all communication
by wagon, or other vehicle, with the bal
ance of mankind. Looking at it in a
purely economic point of view, does that
pay? And beyond that, people are en-
titled to some comforts and pleasures as
they go through this world. These they
can not get tfloundering through mud axle
deep on their way to church or to mar
ket. Suppose that, instead of men and
teams trifling away time, with no other
object than frolic and to obtain a re-
ceipt which can be turned into the Treas
ury in part payment of taxes, that sum
in cash could be expended under con-
tract for betterment of roads, does any
one doubt the roads would receive greater
benefits than they have in three or even
FIVE years under the present system?-
Leaving out bridges (and none of that
sum was expended for bridges) what is
there TO show for this large expenditure,

THE ADDRESS.

Eighty-eight s dead, but eighty-nine S here;
We face its days with hope, not fear,
OF what they hold.
To some twill bring good-tO others bad
But We II hope for joy and guard 'gainst the bad
Have you seen the new court house, where in styl
The lawyers try the witnesses to beguile,
You know it is finished? of course you do.
Do you think this address is meant to give you
Nothing but news?
They say they II strike oil in this vicinity;
When,the first well comes in may be there to see
And tell you
That good strong well in ''paying sand
Would be a bonanza to old Richand,
Is truei
A flood washed our railroads out,
Scattering ties and rails about,
In play.
But the iron horses are harnessed again,
And ready to haul women, children and men,
Any day.
Eighty-eght brought us lots Of apples and sich,
Tile poor could buy plenty as well as the rich
And can have lots of jam to eat on their bread;
They only had to work and not lay in bed
Too long.
Wheat and barley, corn and rye,
Every crop that grows meath our sky,
We d enough for ourselves and plenty TO spare;
To sell to our neighbors of Wheeling and Bellaire
For food
Did you hear of Cleveland Grover the Great
Who ran for President in eighteen-eighty-eight
(Free trade plank.
He could MT be beat-Oh, no; not he!
He was well-knOwn child of deStineer'
(WaS MT it rank.
But the people rose up and sat down on &. C..
With dull, duh thud that even he
Understood.
And for four years Harrison will rule this land
He and Morton hand in hand
For good.
Then we We COngress-anOther feather in our cap.
You do MT catch Matt Quay taking nap,
Or shirking.
The Democrats tried every dirty, mean game,
But NJ. q. got there just the same
By working.
Now good people, You surely do mt think
A boy like me lives without victualS or drink;
SO don't refuse
To pay for my toll with quarter or so,
To make my heart happy as on my way go,
With the news.
So all kind friends be liberal do;
For Il good donation from each of you
Is what tickles;
And that you have turkey in your New Years dish,
| IN sure is the honest, heartfelt wish

THE OLD AND THE NEW

Upon the Threshold of the New Year
we contemplate the events of the Old
1t has not been an especially eventful
one, but in every field of human activity
has been fairly prosperous one. This
land was blessed with bounteous crops,
of some descriptions of grains and fruits
the yield was almost Unprecedented
The corn crop is estimated at 100000
900 bushels, and the wheat crop at 400
100000 bushels. These enormous crops
will furnish our own people with bread
stuffs, and help to feed the people Of less
favored lands. Commercial and manu-
featuring enterprises, likewise, have en-
joyed average prosperity.
The success of the Republican party
in the elections insures stability in the
protection and development of American
industries. The tariff will be maintain
ed, and the indications are the country
will enter upon a new era Of develop
ment and prosperity.
The death roll includes two German
Emperors, Marshal Bazaine, and General
Sheridan, in the field of war; Matthew
Arnold and E. p Roe, in the field of lit
erature; in science and literature, Prof
Gray (the botanist) and Richard A Proc
tor, the astronomer; in the law, Chief
Justice Waite, BENZ. II. Brewster, and
Roscoe Conkling; in the drama, Lester
Wallack; in journalism, Thomas McEl-
rath (Greeley's old partneD and A. S
Abel, of the Baltimore San.
Our new court house was completed
and occupied. 1t is, substantially, fire
proof, and is one of the noblest public
buildings in Ohio. Destructive storms
passed over parts of the county in July
and August, but the damage was repair
ed, and the railroads, especially, are in
better condition than ever before. Pro-
tracted rains in August and September
threatened serious damage to the corn
and other crops, but they were gathered
without serious loss.
The people enter upon the duties and
labors of the New Year hopefully. That
the readers of these columns may find it
a pleasant and prosperous one is the
hearty wish of THE CHRONICLE.

TIE GLENCOE INSTITUTE.

Reported for The Chronicle.
The Glencoe Farmers Institute, held
at Glencoe, December q and 28, was a
grand success in every sense of the word
No Institute ever held in the county had
a finer programme, and, to use the words
of Hon. \. T. McKelvey, no more atten-
tive audience ever greeted a speaker at a
Farmers Institute.
The day sessions, which We're arranged
especially for the farmer and his family,
were exceedingly practical and pointed.
Seldom have we had SO much from expe-
rience so ably and pointedly given.
Every exercise promised by the mana
gers, with a single exception-that of Mr..
Garvin, who was present but sick-was
carried out Mr. r. E. Citizens paper on
Glover" will, we understand, be repeated
at the st. Clairsyille Institute, and your
readers are assured it will pay to hear it.
The road question was ably opened by
Hon. VIM. Bundy, and discussed by a
number of gentlemen present, after
which meeting of all interested was
called to meet at the school house, on Sat
urday, January 3, at o'clock, to further
discuss the question and endeavor to
take some action with regard to our
roads. Following this came most ad-
mirable essay by Mrs. j. A. Stitt, and if
ST. Clairsville fails to get this they will fail
to get something good.
j. W. Nichols, Esq, delivered his
Farmer as a aCitizen,s and Miss Sallie J.
MehOlin recited some selections.
Friday. the 2Sth capped the climax, if
a whole day was needed sas a cap. We
hardly know how to speak of it. Each
speaker had the undivided attention of
the whole audience First came Mr..
George Neff, of Monroe county, with a
paper on improving the soil, then a grand
essay by Lyde M. Bower, then "The Ap-
pie and the Peach" by Hugh Kearney,
of Quaker City, who was recalled after
dinner. Even the ladies and children
. listened as if their lives depended on hear
ing these.
But we forgot to mention that we had
Mr.. Theodore Neff's S paper on our
Agricultural Fairs, the evening before
Gn place of Mr.. Garyin, who was sick
and unable to speak,, and a grand paper
it was, toO.-
The afternoon session was opened by
hODeIG NJ. OdIIOHS, Vi w dSnlllSIOll, Ia,
who talked on how to manage the milk,
followed by A. T. McKelvey, with
Health on the Farm" An excellent es-
say by Miss Maggie Kirker came next,
and this was followed by a "Talk on 81
los and Ensilage," by John NJ. Stewart,
Farm Manager Pennsylvania State Re-
form Farm. The afternoon closed with
everybody happy, especially the mana
gers, and when the time arrived many
were at the door awaiting admission for
the evening session.
The house was again filled to its utmost
capacity, and the fact having developed
that we have good supply of home tai
ent which our people were anxious to
have brought out, rendered this session
especially interesting and somewhat pro-
tracted, yet the audience remained at
tentive to the very close.
The recitation off Charley Fulton, was
very fine, as was the one of Ida Henry,
and the lecture of Hon. A. 7. McKelvey
on Work and Play interesting and in
structive.

PERSONS who are looking after clerk
ships in the Departments at Washing
ton should bear in mind that they will
have to pass civil service examination,
after which they are put upon the list
and take their chances of recommends

The Commission, as at present constitu-

it will be seen appointments of Repub-

appointments as he used to be.

A SURPLUS OF GREAT uEN

1t may be well enough for all concern
ed to take notice that the Republican
party of Ohio will not be torn asundel
because some of its alleged great meI
may not be rated by the party as high a.
they rate themselves, and, at the same
time, that affairs will be carried on reas
onably well if Ohio shall have no repre-
sentatioRin the Cabinet.
Senator Sherman seems to be serenely
attending to his duties in the Senate
and the indications are prefers to stay
there, rather than to go into the Cabinet
Governor Foraker, on the other hand. is
anxious that Mr.. Sherman shall go into
the Cabinet, and thus make vacancy in
the Senate, or, failing in that, would not
himself object to a seat in the Cabinet
Indications are that neither will happen
hence the Governor is in an unhappy
frame of mind.
There has been great deal of non
sense in the newspapers about the alleged
big Four" and it is not at all remark
able that, contemplating their greatness
some heads have been turned: neverthe-
less, we think if our alleged great men
should annihilate each other entirely an
other crop would be produced equal to
all emergencies.
1t is to be hoped that no contingency
will arise that will remove Mr.. Sherman
from the Senate. He is the wisest and
levelest-headed Senator of his time
Since Henry Clay, no other member has
made such impress upon the legislation
of the country. His fame is secure
Fifteen years younger than Gladstone,
in the prime of splendid manhood, he
is without peer in the Senate A mar
velOus worker, his mental resources are
so great, his training so extraordinary,
his grasp so wide, that he handles great
questions as has no other man of his
time. He should remain where he is, the
acknowledged head of the most illustri-
Gus deliberative body in the world. IN
less something unlocked for shall hap
pen, he is good for many more years in
the Senate; and the people whom he has
served SO well can be depended upon to
keep him there.
Meantime, "let us have peace" but
not peace conditioned upon the asSas-
sination of our illustrious Senator and
First Citizen, to further the ambition of
small politicians.
The Columbus Dispatch, the personal
organ of Governor Foraker, says:
a crisis in Ohio politics will be reached
next year. a U. 5. Senator is to be elect
ed. Will he be Republican or a Demo-
crat? Is the fight to which we have re-
ferred going to demoralize if not disor-
ganize and disrupt the Republican party
in this State? 1t is for Senator Sherman
to answer these questions. 1t is for Sen
ator Sherman to realize his responsibility.
1t is for Senator Sherman to decide wheth-
er he will sacrifice his party for his per-
sonal aggrandizement or not
The Dispatch should be more specific.
What would the Governors friends have
Senator Sherman do? Are we to under
stand that unless Governor Foraker is
sent to the Senate in place of Mr.. Payne
the Republican party is to be disrupted,
and Democrat elected? Is Mr.. Sher-
mans support of Foraker's pretensions
to the Senate the condition of peace?
