labor to pay for one dollar of the
bond or debt 1t makes money deal
and labor and property and farm
products cheap. It was violation
tof every honest contract. Every dol
lar loaned TO the United States by
the bankers of England must now he
paid in gold. And we now give Eng
land one dollar and thirty three cent;
worth Of silver for their dollar while
she turns right around to India, Rus
sia and to Argentine Republic and
gets full value in wheat for the sll
yer. because these countries, have
silver at par.
He explained what efforts have al
ready been mads to repeal this un-
| just law.
The proposed new road law, House
Bill No. 153, was an interesting sub
iect at all the sessions.
Mr.. VIM. Uisb, sketched the bill
in a veay clear way, but the whole
bill was finally read by sections and
discussion followed where ever q
doubtful or Objectionable word came
in.
The bill creates a county engineer,
with a salary of $3.50 a day 5 cts.
milage, Office rent, stationery, fuel
and light in the bargain, with almost
absolute power. A long discussion
followed by Mossrs. Patterson, Esh,
UIsh, Junk, Milligan, Yoder, Ubil,
Smith. The latter speaker offered
to test the house, namely,
THAT we the taxpayers having
carefully considered the section
creating the Office of County Engi-
neer, consider that Office useless,
burdensome, impracticable and dan
gerous to good government, pray
our member to oppose the same"
The resolution was carried unani-
mously.
Then the road supervisors sec
ton was considered. He is to get
no pay for services and in case Of
failing to be faithful" shall be fined,
not eIceedings$5OO, and undergo i'm
prisonment not over six months
The duties of his office are many and
trying and unpleasant and the read
er sees what his pay is,
Compared with the engineer it is
q downright insult to any free Amer
lean citizen, but it was supposed to
do for a farmer. A farmer offered q
motion to fix his pay at dollar a
day for every day actually employed
which carried.
On Friday Mr.. David Esh, read a
paper to be sent to our member and
senator embodying the wish of the
meeting all Of which was carried.
There was no time TO consider the
revenue bill, but it was stated that
the petitions which were sent to the
county for each election district had
for some reason not been given out
or were purposely smuggled into the
enemies camp. Persons were ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
and demand an explanation.
No one can measure the import
ance Of this meeting. Farmers are
to see this if they and
their children are not to become
peasants as in England, tenants like
in Ireland OF serfs as in Russia they
must organize and in one solid pha-
Ianx stand up for thoir liberty, like
did their fathers.
The master, Mr. Wellington Smith
on behalf of the organization thank
cd the ladies, for the sumptuous re-
frcshments they provided, the farm
ers for. their hospitality and the
Young folks for their music and the
use of their organ.

II the editor Of the Perry County
Freeman lived in this town along
Washington and Bridge streets, be-
tween East Point and the river
bridge, he would not publish an
item ike the following'which appear
ed in his paper of last week: At
this time Of the year when the !
streets are generally covered with |
mud, it is aggrayating to have to
walk around a wagon or buggy,
which has been left to blockade the
crossing. This does not occur only
once or twice month, but -almost
daily.

ported in all streams that head in the

families vacated their houses. No

bridges on Stony Greek, and the

people feared that the drift would
choke the channel in the railroad
bridge below town, and again back
water as in 1889, to the great disas-
ter Of the place. A number wanted
to blow up the bridge with dynamite.
The railroad company had n large
force of mon to guide the drift
through the arches. A good
deal of damage was done in

sumption as to the prescriptions of inter
national law at the present time to which
her majesty's government are not prepared
to acCede.
The sixth question (relating to the es
tablishment of closed period in seal fish
ing which deals with the issue that will
arise in case the controversy should be
decided in favor of Great Britain, would
perhaps more fifty form the subject of a
separate reference. Her majesty's govern
ment nave no objection to refer the IN
eral question of a close time to arbitration,
or to ascertain by that means and how far
the enactmeut of such a provision is neces-
sary for the preservation of the seal
specie; but any reference ought not to
contain words appearing to attribute spe-
cial and abnormal rights in the matter to
the United States.
There is an omission in these questions
which | have no doubt the government
and the president will be very glad to re-
pair; and tha: is the reference to the arbi-
traitor of the question what damages are
due to the persons who have been injured,
in case it should be determined by him
that the action of the United States in
seizing British vessels has been without
warrant in international law Subject to
these reservations, her maiesty's govern
ment will have great satisfaction in join
ing with the government of the United
States in seeking by means of arbitration
an adjustment of the international ques-
tions which have so long formed a matter
of controversy between the two govern
ments.
In closing Lord Salisbury requests
that Mr.. Blaine be furnished with a
copy of his dispatch.

one Problem of the Fair solved.

CHICAGO, March 12.--The worlds fair
transportation puzzle has apparently been
solved by Engineer E. l.. Corthell. He
has submitted plan to Mayor Cregier,
in which the fact that the Illinois Cen
trail tracks ent rely surround jackson
park, except the lake side, is, instead of
being an obstacle. made distinct ad-
vantage BY the plan proposed all the
steam surface roads will utilize the
Illinois Central tracks, which are to be
elevated for a considerable distance
The streets crossing the tracks and
entering the park are to be depressed,
and the subways thus created will be
used by the cable lines, other street
vehicles and pedestrians. The expense
will be apportioned between the eXposi-
ton company, the city and the various
transportation lines. 1t is said all the
railroads interested have informally ap-
proved the plan.
