the people, and itmakes no difference
whether it is expended on roads by
the local commissioner or by the
State at large. The great trouble
with the road building in this coun-
try is that it is done on the patch
work plan. Every township, or every
hundred, or every county as the case
may be, has a different plan of oper-
alton. The result is that a score of
different roadbeds, of as many de-
grees of vileness, are to be found in
a days drive, The common custom
of having farmers work out their
taxes by repairing" the roads is a
foolish one. 1t consists of convert
ing the roads into alternate sloughs
and dirt piles, with the certainty
that the work must be done over the
next year.
Representative Cooch has now
under consideration a bill to be in
troduced in the General Assembly
at Dover, which will provide for the
State making an annual apprOpria-
tiOn to be used not in making roads
for a few months every
year, but to systematically build
every year few miles of road that
will last for a generation or more
without requiring the expenditure
of much money. We commend it to
our legislators and to our farmers.
The latter would be greatly benefit
ted if every road in the State was
put in the condition Of good turn
pike. There is a demand and ne
cessity for better roads and the State
Of Delaware can well afford to ap-
propriate a few thousand dollars
every year to build Morning |

Better Roads Needed.

The question of better roads, how
to make them, and who shall pay
for them is being discussed in every
portion of the country. To a great
extent the thousands of bicycle riders
and the manufacturers of bicycles
are to be credited with the agitation
of the subject. The roads of the
United States have the reputation OF
being the worst in the world. To be
sure this country is new yet-it is
not score of years over one hun
dred years old. 1t is the pleasure OF
carpers to point to the roads OF
France and England and to ask why
we do not have the same roads here.
The reason is obvious for anyone
who stops to think moment. The
building of roads in France and En-.
gland began years and years before
this country was full-hedged nation.

ADHERENCE OF OPINION.

The SHREVEPORT PROGREss SAYS:
The city of Monroe Is now agitatlng
the question of building Il cotton fac
tory. 1t seems that a gentleman,
Major Bright. has submitted propo-
aItlOn to erect one on receipt of a
certain sum as bonus, and the citi-
zens of the place are dehberating
whether they will accept this offer, or
build the factory entirely of home
capital. 1t seems to US that the bet
ter plan would be to get as much
foreign capital there as possible, even
if a donation must be made to Sc
cure it. 't.,
We must differ with our friend of
The PROGRESS. 1t is better two to
one for the Monroe people to build
the factory, Independent of foreign
capital, if they can. That is the
trouble with our Southern people,
they depend too much upon some
body coming from de Norf' and do
ing what they ought to do them
selves.-Natchitoches Enterprise.
In the first place, friendl We said
nothing about Northern capital. In
using the word foreign, in this sense,
we mean any other place than home
And even if We had stated Northern
capital, the same idea would have
prevailed. In our opinion, town or
community is strengthened fnan-
cially IN greater proportion by the
investment of foreign capital there
than by home. This, because new
investments are centered there. If
the home people are not already in
terested in building up their commu
nifty they are exceedingly poor citi-
zens, and don't count in the general
makeup of the place. We make the
general proposition that a town is
benefited more by the investment
therein of $4,000 by foreign people
than of 100000 by the citizens. And
as to the case in point, we thought it
much better For onroe to get as
much outside capital interested there
as it could, believing that the enter
prising citizens of that town would
invest their money in something else,
of which there were many which
would be both lucrative to the invest
ors and beneficial to the city. Now
what has the Enterprise to say of this

Horg, Senator HOar, Fred Douglas
and other negroes OF Washington,
and we have just this much to say
respecting all parties: If Governor
Hogg desires to bring on war aud
get himself hung. he will accomplish
both by attempting to really prose-
cute the lynchers of Lamar county.
We don't believe that there is sher-
if in the State of Texas or a military
company but who would blush to eX-
ecute an order for the arrest of these
citizens, Our country contains neith-
er office nor position high enough for
the Southern people to submit to an
interference in the protection of their
homes and their women, though We
have offices which are greater than
the crowns Of kingdoms or empires.
We have always entertained a high
opinion of Governor Hogg, but he
will forfeit this and we believe that
of any other man, if be attempts to
strike down the arm raised in defense
of femal virtue. And if he does re-
ally mean to attempt to put his threat
or mandate of arrest into execution,
We say to the honorable men of Tex
as to resist such unholy oppression,
and if they need help we think we
know enough of the chivalry of Loui-
siana's men, to say that they will
readily respond to the call for assist
ance, for this fight is every mans
fight who holds sacred and dear the
honor and purity of mother, wife,
daughter and sister.
As for Senator Hoar and those ne
groes, Douglas and others, who are
raising a disturbance about this at
Washington, we say to them if they
will come to Louisiana and raise
howl about this, we will save our Sis
ter State Texas the trouble of put
