diversion. The scene with the false

the serious and poetic sprites are the

years before in the Palladis Tafnia

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, DEC. l6, 1890
SALARIES AND ROAD IMPROVEMENT

A contributor, in another column, pre-
sents series of questions to The DIS
PATCH, in connection with the projects for
the improvement of country roads, which
are obviously in criticism of the proposition.
Our correspondent also gives his criticisms
a wider scope by referring to the proposed
increase of the salaries of county officials
under the new census returns.
Without attempting to reply to our CORE
spondent1s questions seriatim, we will say
that The DISPATCH will undoubtedly op-
pose any 'looting" scheme or one which is
simply for the purpose of multiplying the
list of high-salaried county and State
officials. But there can hardly be any work
in which the expenditure of public funds is
more legitimate, or will yield more direct
returns to the people than in its honest
and economical application to the con-
struction of good highways. If that work is
simply to be made a pretext for jobbery
it will be the fault of our politics; but even
that result ought not to prevent good citi-
Lens from favoring the work done in an
honest manner, any more than unpleasant
features in the police system would justify
a proposal to abolish police protection alto
gether. Moreover, it is hardly proper to
take it for granted that the project will be
one for the multiplication OF fat Offices or
extrsvagant expenditures, until there is
some evidence to that effect in the measures
proposed.
Our correspondent makes it a foregone
Al. Al
ment will be placed in the hands of num-
Der of new and highly paid officials and re-
moved from the custody of the local authori-
ties. Yet the editorial which called out his
communication was a discussion of the plan
reported by a committee of the Road Com
mission which avoids these faults to re-
markable degree. 1t does not create sim
gle new salaried county or State position.
1t proposes to create township road commits
sions which are to be unsalaried. So far from
taking the work out of the hands of the
township officials, it leaves all the work in
their hands and provides for the payment to
them of the county and State aids to road
construction to be applied by them in the
actual work This plan would probably in
crease the duties of county engineers and
