A little fish story is floating around the City

the tale, but not in the hilarity occasioned by
its tollinG. He was one Of q party Of three
who recently went on q fishing expedition into
tho Moose Lake region OF the Adirondacks.
Aldermen Lynch and Terrell were the other
members OF tho party. and on the way out
they were overwhelmed with thankfulness be-
cause they had Moebus with them. 1t was not
alone the fact that he is Jolly. hearty fellow
and excellent company. 1t was more than
that. He knew all about fishes and fishing.
and was good man to have along. They were
sure Of 1t. for he said so himself. and who
should know better than he.

Patterson affirmed the commitment The
mother instructed Lawyer Philip T. Clarkin to
obtain the child's release. and he fled a petit

writ OF habeas corpus. Then he visited the
city office OF the Third Order OF st. Francis at

to be produced In court the next day. He
called for the child and took her away. sho

Tho writ left with the Sister did not bear the

BETTER ROADS.

This is the season of the year when il
is well to call the attention of the farm
Crs everywhere to the necessity for bet
ter roads. They cannot be obtained
without cooperation, legislation, and in
some cases taxation. But every years
experience will show that the farmers
are neglecting their own interests in
neglecting this matter. Roads will not
be built for them by other sections Of the
country, neither by the National nor by
the State Government.
II we are to have better country roads
they are to be obtained only by the con-
slant agitation of this subject among the
farmers themselves. The cost of good
roads is considerable, but the annual ex-
pense of bad roads is simply enormous.
A revival of interest on this subject that
would result in building a good system
of roads throughout the country would
benefit the entire community as much
al most as the building of the railroad
system has done, and they would give
far more value to the railroads than they
now possess. Every railroad station
should be the center of system OF good
country roads by which the farmer could
get access to transportation facilities.
We do not believe that there is any
subject OF more vital Importance to the
farmer than this, and we would be glad
to have the various associations of farm
ers take up the question and discuss it
in all of its relations, and so arouse a
local sentiment that would give us bet
ter roads.
The value OF your crops largely depends
upon your access to your markets, not
simply to your town or village, but to
the worldwide markets. In many cases
it costs you more to haul your crop to
town than it does to haul it from that
town to New York. You do not know
it always you do not consider the wear
and tear OF your wagons nor the use of
your horses and men but if the farmers
would for moment consider the saving
that could be accomplished by good roads
they would have them in very short
time-Home and Farm.

100000 Per Day.

The Commercial Gazette remarks that
Uncle Sans government costs him 81
100000 day, and adds apologetically,
that at the same time he enjoys the sat
isfaction of knowing that he has the
best government on the face of the earth.
There is difference of opinion among
statesmen and journals of the Republi-
can party as to just how much it does
take per day for Uncle Sam to manage to
squeeze through with.
The differences run to the extent OF
several hundred thousand dollars; a
trife of course in daily expenditures to
the Tariff Takers. But while it costs
Uncle Sam that much more, every day,
thanks to the extravaganza ofthe Repub-
lican Congress, now happily dead and
gone, the trouble about it is that almost
as much goes to pet schemes, jobs and
donations in the shape of subsidies,
bounties and other means of Treasury
exits afforded by that class legislation in
which the Republican party SO greatly
delights as goes to pay Uncle Sans ex-
penses.
The people would have no cause for
complaint and would not complain if
the 100000 per day was needed for
Uncle Sans expenses but they do COM
plain, and justly, and they protest against
being taxed for the support of wealthy
ship-owners and other monopolists,
whose mendicant hat is always under
the spout, and filled with the peoples
money when the Republican party is at
the spigot. -Covington Commonwealth.
