WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED.

There Is practical and scientific side 70
the matter Of public road building in Mary
land. Engineers by study and experiment
have devised systems and laid down the
principles Of scientific road making. These
are published and can be studied by County
Commissioners or anybody else interested
in the subject. There is no need to develop
mode Of road building In Maryland, for
that has already bsen done, Macadam roads,
Telford pixies, the old Roman highways,
and the various methods Of paving used in
Europe and America literally exhaust the
subject OF road making. 1t is only neces.
sary TO choose one of them and adapt ii to
the soil Of Maryland and the materials to be
used.
The other question of taxation and rails.
ing OF money TO pay for road improvements
Is the all important problem. Different
methods prevail In the different counties and
even in the different districts OF the same
counties. 1t Is this mass of conflicting laws
which ought to be swept aside and one
uniform system adopted for the whole State,
(which shall contain the best regulations re.
gardAg the raising and application Of road
funds.
Weincline TO the opinion that II is valuable
time wasted in trying to tinker and per-
petuate the local laws in force in various
parts Of the State. A single law, uniform
In its application, wise in It's provisions and
broad enough TO insure advanced ideas In
road making is what the people most need
at this time
The Hagerstown Nesos, writing upon the
improvement Of public roads, submits the
following sensible remarks;
ut Is encouraging 10 note that the i'm
provement of public roads is exciting 30
much attention In all the States of the Union
that the question has become national In
the sense Of universal interest in the matter
There is hardly q State In the Union where
the Legislatures are in session that the
means for road improvement will not be a
subisc Of serious consideration, and in some
Of hem, no doubt, such plans will be formed
ms will secure the much desired object
Maryland should be foremost in this great
and useful improvement. Our situation Is
such that we may command the CO opera
ton Of the general government with respect
To numerous roads leading into the District
Of Columbia, and there is no part Of the State
where good roads would not prove a sound
business foundation, or give an impetus Il
land values, us well as open markets and
facilitate trade"

THE LEGISLATURE.

After an interval of two years the legis.
lative mill has fairly begun grinding again
its grist for the people. During the remain
der Of the ninety days, the length Of its ses-
sion, the work will go on, and, in the end 4,
a few laws Of importance will be passed,
many more considered and rejected, and the
political interests Of the State disposed Of
for the time being.
An unusual amount Of important work
awaits the attention OF the Legislature. The
general development and progress of the
State has far outstripped its laws, and there
is need OF radical amendment in many Of
the regulations devised In the past for the
government OF the Commonwealth. The
tax laws are In a very imperfect state, par.
ticularly in the direction OF rules governing
assessment Of property and exemptions.
Election laws, especially those relating To
primaries and registration, need to be over.
hauled. A good road law should be created
while miscellaneous laws will require q
measure of discretion and wisdom which
cannot be shirked.
Political interests from the very nature OIL
circumstances have taken precedence of oil
else. The election of Senators and other
matters relating To State and national con
Germs now absorb the attention of the leg.
islAtorS Not that these things are intrinsic.
ally more important than State and county
affairs, but they have a mere intimate con-
nection with party politics, and hence take
first place in the legislative programme.
The matter Of chief Importance for the
members Of the Legislature is 10 be i'm
pressed with the value OF time. With sc
many reforms pressing upon the attention
of our lawmakers no long period should bt
spent in sorting over political plums with q
view TO their distribution.
This Is not exactly the time to indite Q
general homily upon the duties of the State
Legislature, but it is time to urge prompt
ness, dispatch in business and reasonable
regard for the rights Of the people as dis
tinguished from regulation politics. The
one is clearly Of greater importance thar
the Other.

The forthcoming gerrymander in Ohio is
to make seventeen districts Republican and
four Democratic. When the Democrats re-
districted the State few years ago and
made fourteen districts Democratic and
seven Republican a great cry of righteous
indignation went up from the party leaders.
President Harrison in his last message con-
demned gerrymandering in his best manner.
He so far forgot Connecticut, New York
and New Hampshire as to say, "These gerry
manders for congressional purposes are in
most cases buttressed by gerrymander Of
the legislative districts, thus making it i'm
possible for a majority of the legal voters to
correct the apportionment. A minority rule
is established that only political convul-
sion can overthrow" But the Republican
seventeen to four in Ohio is worse than the
Democratic fourteen TO seven, so that spe-
cial message on the subject ought to be now
forthcoming.
