The statement that the sightseers are
flocking to Johnsto wn carries with it an
unpleasant sensation. An appeal was made
to them few days ago to stay away. 1t
was stated that workers only were wanted,
and that sightssers would be in the way.
And yet the sightseers arc there. They
had so much curiosity that they couldn't
remain away even after an earnest appeal
to them to do 50. Thousands of homeless
and destitute people were to be cared for;
hundreds of corpses were to be found ss6
buried, and many houses were to be made
habitable again, and the sightseers would
retard the work-wouldn't they stay away?
Oh, no! They must go there aud see the
sights, even if dead bodies remained I'M
buried and destitute people were unpro-
vided for

The Recent Road Congress.

The recent road congress in this state con-
tinues to be the subject of favorable COM
ment by newspapers in different parts of
the country. The Baltimore Sun wants
Maryland 10 hold like convention. and in
speaking of the matter it pays Georgia a
handsome compliment 1t says Georgia is
one Of the most energetic and prosperous
states of the south, and that when her peo-
pie want public improvement they join
hands and go TO work for it
1t Is highly probable that the road con-
gress was the initial step toward better
public thoroughfares in this state. It was
composed of some Of the most practical and
intelligent Of the states citizens. and while
it did not formally commit itself to any
particular plans for carrying out its
object, it created the unmistak-
able impression that the people want better
roads, The committee to which was left
the work Of formulating bill on the sub
ject, to be introduced probably at the sum-
mer session Of the legislature. could hardly
have been selected with greater wis ION.
The fact that two SUCH men as Hon. w. ].
Northen, of'Hancock county, and Judge W
F. jenkins, Of Putnam county, are at the
head Of it and that II. P. Smart, of this county,
and others deeplY'interested in public roads
are associated with them, is a guarantee
| that the measure will be the best that could
be devised under the circumstances.
The Baltimore Sun and other newspapers
appear to be pleased that the sentiment of
the convention was in favor of putting tn g
convicts to work upon the roads. The
roads of Richmond county are mentioned
as an example of what convict labor can
do in this direction. The roads of that
county are in excellent condition, and
the work upon them has been done at a
comparatively small cost. 1t will hardly
be denied that convict labor upon the rolds
is more systematic than any other that is
likely to be obtained.
Any measure that the committee may
propose will doubtless receive the respectful
attention of the legislature, but it might be
best for the road congress to be convened
again, in order that the committees action
might be passed upon. In that way, no
doubt would remain as to the desire of the
people in this matter.

Read the Wrong Side.

From the Burlington Free Press.
To his love he sent some verses,
Tender verses. fond and true,
That expressed his deep devotion
Better than his prose could do.
So he clipped them from the paper,
Folded them with fondest care,
And inclossd them to his darling,
All his passion to declare.
Al but fate was dead against him,
For, by chance denoniac,
A divorce case and his verses
Had beed printed back to back,
And his love mistook his meaning;
She will never be his bride,
For she didn't turn the clipping,
And she read the other side.

History of a Nickel.
From the Baltimore American

fTcW tHe bulItnlOTe AnleTlcdn.
About year ago some wag polished off a
nickel till it only resembled the coin Of the
realm in size and color. After it had dropped
into the bottom of a bobtail car box the driver
eyed it snspiciously, and evidently thinking the
other side of the coin might be all right, he
gave the decisive pull and let it pass. From that
time to this the company has been endeavoring
TO get that nickel back on the rascally public
But strange to say, every man who tears open
the little envelope containing it and its com
panion piece always chucks the smooth nickel
back into the box. of course no driver can
now complain, because the coin always comes
out of the company's package. During its first
year of service it has taken about 2,190 trips
and as it is getting thinner and smoother all the
time, there is now no hope of its ever escaping
street car service except through the romantic
charity of some kind deliverer. or through the
final dissolution of the company's corporation

From the Philadelphia Record CDen.)

w
The policy Of establishing soldiers homes
under national aud state auspices should be
every honorably discharged veteran who may
seek one. This would be TAR more liberal TO the
poor and infirm soldiers than the passage OF an
INDECENT pension bill as the small amount from
this source could not possibly maintain them in
any degree of comfort. But this policy does
not suit the claim agents and the demagogues,

Echoes From the Centennial.

The different committees in New York
which had charge Of the centennial cele-
bration, have not yet settled their accounts.
They have got into a tangle because Mr..
Fish, who is chairman Of tie entertainment
committee, refuses to render any account
of the money which his committee received
and expended. Mr.. Fish takes high ground.
He says that zone of the pubiic's money
was spent in getting up the banquet and
the ball, and, therefore, it is none Of the
public's business what became of this
money that was received for ball and ban
quet tickets.
The other committees take a somewhat
different view of the matter, particularly
as Mr.. Fish wants $4,000 from the finance
committee for tickets which he furnished
on the order of the plan and scope commit
tee. The other committees say that the
tickets ordered by the plan and scope COM
mittee were for distribution among promi-
nent and privileged individuals, and they
were to be paid for out of the money con-
tributed by public spirited citizens. They
therefore insist that before the SIG, 900 is
paid to Mr.. Fish he shal tell the public
how much money he received for ball and
banquet tickets and how much he spent
It is probable that Mr.. Fish will have to
get off his high horse, or go without the
$4,000 He seems to have a contempt for
the public. In view of the fact that the
centennial ball under his management was
quite disgraceful affair, if the reports of
it were correct, he ought to present an
attitude of humiliation instead of putting
on lordly airs.

head upon his shoulder and told him that
she was "his'n" until a Chicago divorce

Mr.. Henry E. Exall, a Dallas (rex)
banker, says that the population of Texas,
which in 1880 was 100000, will be
100000 in 1890. This would give the
democrats several more congressman from
that state, and if the other southern states
should be found to have increased very con-
Siderabiy in population, the addition of
republican congressman from the new
states would not make much difference, so
far as the political complexion of congress
is concerned. The increase of population
in the south between 1870 and 1880 was
greater than in the north, and no doubt the
same will be found to be true of the COM
parative increase between 1880 and 1890.

The statement that several people at the
scene of the disaster in Pennsylvania were
lynched because they were caught robbing
dead bodies has brought forth expressions
of opinion from some of the northern news
papers as to whether or not lynching is ever
justified by circumstances. The New York
Star says that it is, and that those in Penn
sylvania were instances in question. The
Tribune says: Lynch law is never to be
approved, but there are times when it seems
TO be less obnoxious than at others" The
Baltimore american, a southern republican
newspaper, says that it is pleasant to know
that there was no lynching at Johnstown,
as was at first reported, but that several
of the theving villains were shot" The
american adds; Shooting is more legal
than lynching, and when done by experts
it is fully as fatal" The people in all parts
of the country are, as a rule, opposed to
lynch law, bat there are occasions when the
best of them think that it is demanded.
