The Road Question.

The late Gov. Hovey, of Indiana, in
one of his messages, estimated that over
80, 200, 900 is expended annually on the
wagon roads of that State, and, under the
present inefficient and wasteful methods,
is practically thrown away. The expen-
ditures for the same purpose in kentuc-
ky are about as heavy, amounting to
nearly as much as the whole cost of the
State government, and are wasted Just
as thoroughly as in Indiana. This is a
tax borne almost exclusively by the
farming class, and is in addition to the
other taxes that mud roads impose on
them. The burden which bad roads i'm
poses on farmers is far greater than all
the taxes they pay to the Government
combined.
The great objection which farming life
offers to many, and especially to young
people, is its isolation and loneliness.
During the very season when the fam
lilies of farmers have most leisure the
roads are in such condition that they are
compelled to stay at home. There are
weeks together when the mud puts an
embargo on social intercourse, and for
a large part of the year carriage-driving
is uncomfortable.
A farm on a road on which full load
can be hauled every day in the year and
on which carriage can be driven with
comfort every day in the year, is worth
good deal more than one located
alongside mud road. That i is prac-
ticable without too great cost for coun-
ty to secure system of good free roads
IS proven by the example of Rush coun-
ty, Ind. Every road leading out of its
county-seat is good gravel road which
can be travelled as well one time of year
as another, and they have cost the
people hardly more than was wasted
under the old system. They are all well
constructed, and it costs very little to
keep them in good repair.
Macadamized roads in Kentucky
would cost more, but it will pay farmers
to build them and have them as toll
roads, if they cannot be made free. /
There is no roadwhich costs farmer as
much as an old-fashioned mud one.

We DO not like an iconoclast who
tears down what we have, but offers
nothing in its stead. Hence the
writer in the Breckenridge Ne,c,
who devotes two columns to the
abuse of the Teachers Institute as il
is, yet offers no suggestion for its
benefit, is a mere destroyer with no
claim TO a following. He will have
following among a class of teachers
who have long used his stock argu-
ment against the "force" and ode.
struction of liberty, Ne, &C., which
"drives" the teachers of Kentucky
once year to the Institute. The truth
is, nobody is driven, by law or
otherwise, into our Teachers Institute.
The law of the State upon the ques.
ton has been fixed since long before
any present certificate was granted.

has the fullest individual liberty to
stay away from these meetings. No

ment of the State as teachers, they
do so with a full knowledge of what
the State requires of this particular
class of her employees. Since the
State employs and pays, the State
has the right to fix the terms and
conditions of the service to be rem
dered, and if anybody does not
choose to subscribe to her require
ments, they have the fullest liberty
to turn to other employment. But
if they do enter this work, they
should do so fully and with the pow
er which they and they alone have,
they should make the Institute alike
profitable and interesting, just as
they could do if such as "A Teach
er" who writes for the NeWs would
turn their attention to contributing
to the well being and interest of the
Institute instead of discouraging
and fighting down the enterprise.
That our teachers are too poorly
paid for the work they are supposed
to do, we join in lamenting; but the
only way to remedy that lamentable
fact is to encourage and foster every
institution looking to their better
organization and equipment for their
work. Let our Institutes be en-.

HOW A UNITED STATES TREASURER
died IN A DEBTORS PRISON.

During the Revolutionary war the
question of money was often of vital
Importance, and there were many times
when the patriotic government had not
even money enough to purchase rations
for the soldiers in the field, and when it's
credit was not good enough to enable it
to borrow. 1t is we'll remembered that
George Washington betrayed his own
official expenses out of his private purse
for long time, and was only repaid after
some years. =,
The services of Robert Morris, the
treasurer of the United States, are not so
often recalled. He was very wealthy and
enjoyed splendid personal credit, which
he did not hesitate to use time and again
when money was indispensably necessary
to the government. For instance, he
once became personally responsible for
the flour which the army had to have
for rations. At another time he borrow
ed on his individual credit money to pay
off the army. He also gave his personal
notes for large amounts needed by, the
government, and in no instance did he
fail to pay on time or to redeem his
notes. Yet he lost all his fortune in his
old age through land speculations and
died in a debtors prison on May Tth,

and offered to take the bundle on the

"Ahl baby. Well, I'll be careful of

and we didn't speak again until We

TIE GREAT STRIKE.

A New York dispatch, under date of
the 25th, says; The Granite Manufac-
turers Association issued statement to
the public this afternoon giving a re-
hearsal for the lookout among quarry
men, PAYERS and others. In partit is as
follows: "The Unions reasons for in
sisting on May 1st, and the employers
reason for insisting on January lst, are
the essence of the present difficulty and
may be stated in few words. The en-
ployers when closing their books and
making the usual business statements
and settlements for the year desire to
know for certainty the rate of wages,
hours of labor, etc., when entering upon
the new year, and not have their bust
ness disturbed by possible disagree
ments in the spring. The Unions, on
the other hand, desire to have all agree
ments terminate May 1st, believing that
they can more easily dictate terms to
the employers in the middle of the seas
on than at the beginning, and this reason
has been openly acknowledged. The
charge made by the Unions that the
Manufacturers Association has COM
PEELED its members to break agreements
with their workmen is denied and is un-
true. The statement concludes as fol
lows: We do refuse, as we have the
right to refuse, any new agreements
which do no begin and end with the
calendar year, and no sound or proper
reason has been offered for any other
date. We are very glad to see that some
of the men are disposed to go into the
business on their own account, for there
is no other remedy so good as that to
cure striker of his folly"
The un-American nature of the slavery
attaching to the present conduct OF labor
Unions in sympathetic strikes, is illus
trated by this New York city item of the
same date as above: ga committee from
the striking PAYERS were granted an in
terview this morning with Commission
Ell Gilroy with reference to the re-pavlne
of the streets, which were Temporarily
torn up, with old blocks. 1t was agreed
that the strikers would be permitted tC
pave the streets torn up with old blocks,
but that new granite must not be used
When the contractors heard of this they
put number of'non- Union men to work
and the committee from the strikers
agained appealed to Commissioner Gil
roy, but as yet he has done nothing II
the matter. At the headquarters of thu
striking PAYERS it was said the condition
of the strike remained unchanged. Al
though the strikers have plenty of mon
ey on hand, they will inaugurate a new
fund next week, to be used in case o
emergency"
