IMPROVEMENT.

| Cleveland Leader.
From time to time we have urged the
need of better country roads, and, as the
time for the assembling of the Legisla-
ture approaches, we believe there is a
general feeling that the sentiment in
favor of the road improvements ought
| to crystalline into an active agitation and
an attempt be made to secure some leg
islative action on the subject this winter
No one familiar with the condition of
the country roads of Ohio at this season
and during at least half the year can say
anything in their defense. They are in
defensible and barbarous, disgrace to
our state of civilization. Half the year
they are nearly impossible and the trade
of country towns languishes and farmers
are shut up at home because the work
of going two, three, or four miles is too
great to be undertaken except under the
spur of actual necessity. The wear
and tear Of men, horses, and vehicles is
an immense tax on the farmers of the
State, one that would speedily lead to the
building of decent roads if the farmers
could but be made to realize how much
they now lose every year because of poor
ones.
At present farmers often lose the best
markets of the year simply because the
roads are SO bad that it is next to impossi-
bic to get load Of wheat or other produce
to town. 1t is altogether anomaly that
while we have the best of communica-
tion by rail between distant points, while
no nation has equaled us in this respect,
we have almost wholly neglected the
scarcely less important matter of good
communication in the country districts.
1t ought to be clear to every man of
good sense that good roads are vast
benefit to every community. They in
crease the value of real estate and save
time and expense to the farmers. Fur
ther, they make life pleasanter on the
farm by increasing the facilities for
neighborly intercourse. In short, it may
be said without fear of refutation, that
good roads are in every case good in
vestment to the communities that make
them.
These are points on which we have no
doubt there is very general unanimity
of opinion. The real question is, what
plan will secure the best results in
road improvement and be the least ex-
pensive all things considered. In regard
to this there is doubtless very great di-
verSity of sentiment. There ought to
be some means of securing general
expression of opinion and a general
discussion of this matter. If we are
ever to have better roads public interest |
must be aroused. To this end we sug-
gest that persons interested get together |
in each county or township, issue a call !
for general meeting, get out as large
a representation of the farmers and |
business men as possible, and thoroughly
discuss the matter in all its phases. We
believe very many more would attend
such meetings than is generallysupposed.
If it is found to be possible, organize
society in each township and thoroughly
canvass the whole question. In short
ct there be an active and thorough agi-
alton throughout Northern Ohio during
he next few months and go)d results
Ire certain to follow both in Legislation
md in the work of road improvement.

THE Russian method of stopping a
runaway horse is said to be very effect
i've, and is not particularly cruel. They
place cord with running knot around
the horses neck, near the neck strap.
To this slip moose is attached pair of
reins, which may be thrown over the
dashboard ready to be seized at once.
When the horse starts the extra reins are
taken up and the cord is frightened aronnd
the horses throat. The most furious
horse thus choked stops instantly, and
will not kick or fall.

CORPORAL TANNER voices senti-
ment, the expression of which is made
necessary by the silly flapdoodle nonsense
uttered by some Democratic journals
about Davis. He says: 1.-Two things
come up in my mind about Mr.. Davis.
One is the crime of centuries, the starva-
tion of prisoners with the accompanying
atrocities, which he certainly could have
stopped" Further on he says: 81 would
not march in the funeral procession of
Davis, yet l would uncover my head at
the grave of Jackson, who commanded
the forces, whose guns knocked my legs
off" There are volumes in those senti-
ments, volumes, the meaning of which
is perfectly plain and thoroughly under
stood in thousands of homes bereaved
tO-day.

BOSTON has lately been strong Dem
ocratic city, but lasl year the Democratic
ring was badly beaten in the municipal
election, and the Republicans have just
reelected Mayor Hart by a handsome
majority. There seems to be enough in
dependent Democrats in the Hub, for a
wonder, to turn the tide against their
own party in an election in which men,
rather than party principles, are at
stake.

THE G. A. r. AND JEFF. DAVIS.

| III l. U. a. Ii. AND JEFF. DAN Is.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Capt. Jacob Gray, a professional men,
Der of the Grand Army of the Republic,
has raised storm of indignation
throughout the North by declaring, at a
committee meeting in New Orleans, that
he would take pride in "hOnOring the
memory of the illustriOus patriot" Jeff
Davis. If this man is really member of
the &. A. r. he has as little regard for
his sOldierly obligations as Davis had
for his duties as a citizen when he en-
gagged in the Rebellion. The distinguish
ing feature of the organization is loyalty
to the country and its flag and hatred
of whatever tends to the encouragement
of treason and rebellion.
To speak of jeff Davis as a patriot
whose memory should be honored by the
survivors of the Union armies is to dis
honor the memory of those who fought
for the Union. If the representative of
Tue ReOelllOH Was d TRUE PdITlOI, Incu
the Union veterans were engaged, as
the arch-traitor always maintained, in
waging an unholy warfare against an
unoffending people. 1t cannot be possi-
BILE that each party to that bloody conflict
was in the right. All over the North the
absurd and disgusting declaration of
Capt. Gray is being rebuked in ringing
terms, and any member of Post of the
G. A. r. taking part in the Obsequies will
thereby be subject to discipline. 1t is
the special mission of the Grand Army
to "make treason odious," not to glOrify
it. In the language of contemporary:
"NO soldier of the Grand Army of the
has the right to degrade for all
future time the noble lesson he has sworn
to teach, by letting it become of record
that any part of this great host of loyalty
has displayed the banners, or the buttons,
of Grand Army comradeship. in form of
at the bier of tie man who has
kept himself conspicuous by the constant
of the doctrines that, had
they been successfully maintained by
arms, would have destroyed the Union"

both races represented by them. It is not
necessary n consider whether any her
plan OF union might have been moro
desirable when the pan proposed ignored the
distinction Of color. We desire 10 express our
respect for the devoted christian spirit and
frank ayoWals Of the brethren who present
their credentials, and their admiration for the
bearing OF the members OF the association.
Aver, therefore, a thorough examination OF
the case, and we may say successive
prayers for divine guidance. your committee
has unanimously come to the conclusion. Inas-
much, therefore. as these churches and confer
ences are congregational in doctrine. policy
and spirit, and as the rightfulness of the admit
ting OF the district conferences has been con-
sentet TO by the representatives of the Georgia
association, aud with our profound impress
sion OF the christian integrity of
those desiring to be affiliated with
our church, We recommend passage of the fol-
lowing resolution, viz: That Rev. S. C. Daniel,
representing the Atlanta district conference.
