MORE ROAD IAw.-The last legis-
lature passed another elaborate road
law which in its general provisions
is very little different from the old
humbug system which provides for
letting the roads.
The point of difference seems to
be that the adoption of the new law
may be made matter of choice in
any county or district. The county
court is required to submit it to a
vote of the people upon the petition
of 100 voters.
But upon the same kind of petit
ton the people can have chance
to vote on a much better system
that known as the 'salternate road
law" And if the people of this and
other counties have not taken inter
est enough in the roads to ask for
good system in lieu of a bad one,
what is the use of multiplying laws?
The alternate road law furnishes
a business method of keeping the
public roads; on terms that are
equitable and fair to every taxpayer
at the smallest possible expense; in
in which the taxpayer gets what he
pays for; which gives good roads
wherever tried; and which can be
put into operation by asking for it
through the county court and then
voting for it.
But if the men who most depend
on the public roads are not enough
interested to even ask for a better
and cheaper plan than we now have,
we suppose that those people who
do not use the roads at all ought not
to be tearing their shirts about it.
LEG Cur OFF.-Conductor Chas.
Robinson, of the X. & NJ. Ry., met
with an accident here Thursday
night that cost him his left leg. He
was on the engine of his train on u
side track waiting for another train
to pass. The switch had been left
open, and the other train, instead of
passing, ran slowly on the side track
and into the train in front of it. No
damage was done to either train,
but Mr.. Robinson was caught be-
tween the engine and tender and
his leg crushed so badly that ampu-
tation was necessary just below the
thigh. Mr.. Robinson was conduc-
tor of the Inflated Fourth of July
excursion train that killed his broth
er and a dozen others, and at that
time, as well as on Thursday, was
making the run in place of Conduc-
tor Brobeck, whose regular trip it
was.

ed Il large gathering here tonight
and gave his views on some timely
topics. He was not badly stuck, he
said, on silver and gold rs a circu-

piece OF paper. and he would like to
see an estimate made of the qualities
OF precious metals in the mountains
and silver certificates issued by the
government based on the quantity
of gold and silver estimated to be
under the ground. Coin in the
treasury vaults is liable to be st olen
by foreign enemy, but no amount
OF faith could remove the mountains
containing the gold and silver. As
the government ownership of rail
roads, Jerry thought the people
wanted only one road at present.
They had mortgage on the Union
Pacific but We're too soft hearted to
collect the interest. The other fell
lows, however. he noticed visited the
farms once year for the interest
and when he got to Washington he
proposed to call Oh the Union Pa
citic, and if the interest was not paid
the people will get the road and the
debt be squared that way He un.
derstood there was number of at
torneys in the senate who looked af-
ter the interests of such corporations
but Tuesday last saw the number re-
duced by one,
