Oar Road SYSTEM

] have often thought that people, speak
ing of them generally, have never yet un
derstood the value of good roads. They
are not only matters Of convenience, but
they are really matters Of great economy
in every community. The farmer, wi h
one team OF two horses, is able to move
on good road more than he couldomove
with four horses and wagon of much
greater strength on poor road This
have tested personally many times Far
meis are constantly in need Of the use OF
highways TO transport their property and
10 move themselves from place TO p'sce
The average farmer is five miles distant
from the nearest railway station, and his
surplus produce must to moved this dis.

ing them so. Our road system is misera,
bly, deficient. We could learn from the
the Romans and Germans in this respect
very much.

Our wagon roads throughout the coun
try are generally disgrace TO civilization,
and before we undertake TO support Jae
ger underwear and sealskin covered BIZ
bes wi Ii flexible backs to the African, il
might be well to put few do lars into
the relief Of CALLED and broken down hor
ses that have lost their health on our mis-
cradle highways.
The country system, ss l call it, was, in
my boyhood, about as poor and inefficient
as it could well be- Each township was
divided up into road districts, and each
road district was presided over by an over
seer of highways whose duty it is to coll
lect so many days woik or SO many do lars
from each lax payer in the district OF
course no taxpayer would paya dollar
when he could come and make mud pies
on their road all day and visit and gossip
with the neighbors and save his dollar
too.
The result seemed 10 be that the work
done was misditec ed and gene ally an I'M
jury to the road. With all due respect to
farmer, will state right here that he does
not know how to make roads. An all wise
Providence never intended that he should
know. The professional road builder,
with the money used by the ignorant sap
heads and self made road architects, would
in few years make roads in the Uni ed
States over which two or three times the
present sized load could be easily drawn,
and the dumb beasts Of the republic
would rise up and call us blessed for do
it.

in earthen pots, and the Indians, negroes
and lower classes generally prize it very
highly for seasoning their food, though it
retains strong flavor of fish OIL
tits estimated that in the earlier times as
many as go, 0OO 600 turtle eggs were des-
troyed every year in the manufacture of
manteiga, and there are still extensive
beaches, notably on Marajo, which yield
every year as many as two thousand pots
of OIL each pot containing five gallons,
the product of about $500 eggs. The
wonder is how any turtle can come to
maturity, so many enemies lie in wait for
it. From the moment it energies from the
shell and makes its way to the waters
alligators are waiting to swallow it.,
iuguars to feed upon it, buzzards, eagles
and great wood-i bises to pounce upon and
devour it: and if it escapes all these and
reaches the water, ravenous fishes are
waiting to seize upon it in the stream.
But so prodigiously prolific are they that
only their most po Nerful enemy, man, has
visibly diminished their numbers.

discharged soldier to wear Grand Army
badge. The bill provided that any person
who shall wear the badge of the Grand
Army of the Republic, or who shall use
or wear the same to obtain aid or assist
ance thereby within this State, unless he
shall be entitled to use or wear the same
under the rules regulations or bylaws of
a Grand Army Post, duly and regularly
organized, shall be guilty of a INSIDE
meanor, and upon conviction thereof by a
court of competent jurisdiction, shall be
punished by imprisonment for term not
to exceed 30 days, OF of a fine not to exceed
$40, or by both such fine and imprison-
ment. The fines collected under the pro-
visions of this act shall be paid if the
complaint upon which a conviction is pro-
cured is made by the comrade of any post,
to the post to which such complainant be-
longs. If such complaint shall be made
by any other person than comrade, then
to the post OF to the widow OF orphan

Der in good standing OF sach post as may
be designated 10y the complainant. This
was the veto: ''This bill makes it a mis-
demeanor to wear a badge Of the Grand
Army. The wearing need not be charac-
terized by any intent, but is criminal if
not in accordance with the rules and regu-
latlons Of any army post with which the
wearer may be entirely unacquainted, and
the penalty recovered in conviction is left
i'll its disposition, altogether too indeti-
mite.
This bill was passed in 1855 and signed
by Governor Hill 1t has passed in nearly
every State since that time. Even Mary
land enacted the law. Governor Hill also,
in 1888. signed charters for the Depart
ment of New York Grand Army of the
Republic and for the Department of New
York Sons Of Veterans.
But Gov. Gle -eland' $ animus against
the old soldiers did not stop here. An
other exploit i'll opposition to the Grand
Army of the Republic was his veto Of the
bill passed by the Legislature allowing a
gratuity of 81. 200 to John Young, who
lost an arm in the service and was made a
hopeless cripple by an accident which
happened to him while working in the
Capitol building at Albany. All the Grand
Army of the Republic posts of Albany pc
titioned the Legislature for the relief they
extended, which Cleveland vetoed.
All of these acts, while Governor, onl y
foreshadowed Cleveland's attitude on the
pension bills when he became President
and led to the violent attacks Of the New
York Times and other Democratic papers
on the Grand Army in 1897 1t was a
happy deliverance when President Cleve-
land withdrew his letter accepting the in
vitation to the National Encampment in
st. Louis in the same year; it was a happy
deliverance for the old soldiers when
Cleveland was defeated in 1885, and they
will rejoice more than any other class of
citizens when their votes finally get them
and their country rid OF the man in 1892.

ADVICE OF GEN. ~ICKLE~ TO THE VEL
EEANS AT WASHINGTON.

ADVICE OF GEN. SIC kLt> TO TILE VEL
EEANs AT WASHINGTON.
At the reunion of the Third Corps in
Washington. during the encampment Of
the Grand Army, Gen. d. f. Sickles paid
a feeling compliment to President Harri-
son, saying that he had seen him lead his
troops in action and that he never failed
his soldiers during the war and had not
gone back Oh an old veteran since. In
concluding his remarks referring to the
duty of the Government in the matter OF
pensions he said: You are going home
nov, and there is something | want You
to take home with YOU. Ponder it: teach
it to Your children; tell it to your neigh
bors. 1t is this truth, that the people Of
the United States will see that no man is
ever elected to an office OF profit and trust
in this country who opposes the payment
of pensions to the soldiers Of the rebel
lion.
As :; result Of this speech the following
correspondence has been made public and
should be read 10y every old veteran:
NEW YORK, Sept. -, 1892
Ueur Gen. .>ichles:
Your old comrades of the Army of the
Potomac. WHO We're fortunate enough to
hear your words last night at the reunion
OF the Third Corps in Washington. We're
greatly impressed by them. and | had
hoped that they would be published in
full that they might reach the thousands
who We're absent.
Your touching all,lsion to the domestic
affection of our comlade the President of
the United States was characteristic of
the affection You II I've ever manifested for
those who served in the Union Army:
r.,
Judge between the man who riskcd his
life for the Unioil ami has ever since es-
pollsed the honest cause of the soldier,
and the one who did neither one nor the
other, met with Il response which clearly
indicated how the veterans Of the Union
Army, Irrespective OF political ties, feel
upon this sub trt.
, As the commander of Il brigade of six
Pennsylvania regiments in yoln corps,
thank YOU for this manly and fearless eX-
| preston of Your views. and be- IF You
to put them in such form that they may
reach every man and the sons Of every
man who has Il loyal record to defend
against the slurs and dispaagements OF
+ those who constituted the enemy in the
rear while we were at the front.
Very truly and sincerely yours,
