The State of Pennsylvania has struggled
with the ANTICIPATED system of road-mending
In use pretty nearly everywhere, allowing
farmers to work out their tax at certain
fixed rate as the equivalent for days work.
until the people are heartily sick of 1t, and
Is now trying to devise some better pain. A
State road commission has drawn a bill
winch provides for road commissioners in
every township, under whose direction far
mers are to be permitted to work out their
road tax, or to pay the tax for the employ
ment of substitute; and for every mile of
improved road constructed by township
the county is to construct another and the
State third. This arrangement, since it puts
premium on promptness and good work is
praiseworthy. but it would be better to make
the working out of taxes thing of the past.
the other provisions remaining the same. A
Ierce OF laborers under the direction of a
competent road commissioner could do more
satisfactory work for less money than
farmers could working by fits and starts
when they had nothing else to do. If the
men who work out taxes could be brought to
look at their work at its true money value
they would see that the system or makeshift
is wasteful and expensive.

The steamship Alameda, bearing The Spaldng
baseball tourists, arrived at Honolulu on Sun
day, November %, 1888. The steamer had been
expected tie day before and ellborats prepara-
tUns had be n made TO receive the visitors, after
which they were TO play an exhibition game OF
ball. When the vessel arrived early on Sunday
morning The tourists were met at The wharf by
the leading citizens of Honolulu, and, headed
by the Royal Hawaiian band a procession
WAS formed and escorted these pauper" ball
rlay rs TO the Kings palace, where they were
received In stale by his Majesty, Kalakaua.
Jhey were then driven through lhe surrounding
country, and ii was proposed to give the exhibi-
ton game III The afternoon. Mr. A. e. Spaldng,
however, learned that an old missionary law pro.
hibiting Sunday amusements was SIM In effect
and Immediately declined TO allow the game to
take place. The most prominent men on the
