Not only does the road from yelling.
ton to Lexington need the prayerfuI
consideration of the people who travel
it, but almost every other road in the
county needs effective work. To know
how to crown and drain a road is i'm
portant, and it is also important to have
implements and money to do the work
with. 1t would be impossible to have
good roads during seasons like this,
unless they were macadamized; but the
roads would be much better than they
are, if they had been properly worked last
fall. In places where full time was given
to road work, and where road hands
were used, the present condition is not
near so bad as where insufficient time
and insufficient implements were used
Road overseers generally do the best they
can with the material and aid at their
disposal, but for effective work these are
frequently inadequate to practical re-
quirements, and the result is bound to
be bad roads, and great loss to the
people who travel them.

This week the republican leagues
have been in conclave at Cincinnati.
The object of the session was to bring
about a more aggressive and efficient
organization of the party. The declar-
ations of principles favor the protec-
tive policy, though McKinleyism was
not fully endorsed; favored Reeds rul-
ings as speaker of the house; suggested
more stringent immigration laws and
gave the Harrison administration q
strong send off. While there was rap,
turous applause at the mention of the
name of Blaine, a letter from Harri.
son was received with decided mani.
festations of favor, and there was little
doubt left but that he will be the choice
of the next republican national conyen'
ton.

Against the Hog.

Whenever a public enterprise changes
and that change is for the better we think
it but right to commend it and to do so
openly. In one thing we think the IN
TELLIGENCER is better by the editorial
change and that N thing of no small
Importance to the city of Lexington.
We speak OF the opposition to his swine
ship having the liberty and freedom of
the city by the present editor, whilst
the former editor and manager took the
opposite run OF the case. III this is not an
improvement put this writer down as
having got on the wrong side. Why the
citizens of a rich, refined and educated
community like Lexington have stood such
iilth-making creatures as the hog to roam
unmolested year after year, decorating our
pavemeGts to such an extent as to make
them lrRpassable, is u question hard to
answer TO our credit as citizens. 1t has
often been answered in the past that it
was denying the poor man the right to
raise his winter pork, and to do so was a
crime against the o Such an answer
has no more in il than TO claim that he
has the right to raise his potatoes and
corn for winter use in the alleys and
streets of the city. Many say MIR. Hog is
II natural scavenger and he does much to
keep our city clean. Now of such might
1t not be said, They are Of the hog hogish?
The idea OF the lowest and flthiest OF
creatures being used as public scavengers
street cleaners lat this point we are in the
condition OF the man whose end gate
came out at the top of the hill and let out
his load OF apples,) we can't do justice to
the subject so will give it up. Now let us
look ut the Office OF scavenger in a practi-
cal light, let's take, for example a city of
five or ten thousand inhabitants in Nebras-
ka. We TAX a walk and pass from steet
to street and alley TO alley. No hog, COW,
goose or other depredating animal is to be
seen loose.
No yard fences around the lots of the
poor man, or weli-to-do either. Seel no
expense to the Door to keep up fences. No
fear of loose stock destroying sod, trees
and vines.
But this is not all. Some several poor
do the work of ~scavenger, in this latter
town. The ladies and children nave no
fears in walking the streets either night
or day, for no decorating hog is there TO
modest or make afraid. Is it not time for
this city of churches, colleges and schools
to consider seriously what we are and how
We stand in the scale of refinement? With
unlimited freedom To hogs and cattle to
befoul our streets, may we not think too
highly OF ourselves aud be blind to what
we really are US others see us. IL to keep
theh hog on our streets is charity, then
indeed is IL charity to say the least OF it's
filthy. Il.

There is certainly no use in dividing
the democratic party on any Issue. II
n majority of the party is in favor OF
free silver coinage just as we had it be-
fore 1873, when silver was demonitized,
IL is the right of the majority to engraft
that expression in the National plat
form in 1892, and the candidates for
president and vice-president must be
willing 10 stand squarely upon it. II,
ON the contrary, the majority of the
party is opposed to silver coinage, il
will be the duty of the minority to
Weld. In the mean time, let those

little too irascible for the speakers

1t is stated on the authority of 4 New
York telegram that Treasurer Lon V.
Stevens, has recently had an interview
with Grover Cleveland upon the silver
question. While there is q good deal
of fishiness about the alleged inter
view it may be all true. Mr.. Cleveland
is represented as admitting that his
former views of the Bland silver bill
were not sustained by the facts, and
that his apprehensions of disaster to
follow the continuance of the law were
groundless. He said that in case he was
elected president in 1892, that nj silver
bill could come before him until 1894
and that that time was too far away to
say now what he would do; but he in
timated that conditions might be mate
rally altered by that time, and changes
comes that would demand the use and
coinage of silver. He seemed very
anxious, however that the question
should be disposed of before the next
national campaign.
