Tho Edwards Road Bill.

A careful reading OF the road bill now
pending before tho legislature, intro
duced by Mr. Edwards, OF Kanawha
county, shows it to bo measure that
ought to pass, and doubtless will pass
The bill, which provides "ior the work
ing and construction Of public high
ways, and for tho employment OF con-
victs thereon" is designed to give us in
West Virginia good system OF i'm
proved roads at tho minimum of cost,
and Is decided step in the direction Of
much needed reform,
AS explained in the act, it is intend
ed ito promote tho public convenience,
advance the public interest, to induce
by example local authorities to improve
facilities for internal intercourse, to
provide heathiul and attractive en-
ploymont for criminals, to encourage
their reformation and to lessen compe-
tition between ielon and free labor in
the mechanical industries" In short,
while giving us good roads tho law will
also do away with the competition Of
convict labor with our honest labor,
which is now an Objectionable feature
Of our prison system.
The provisions Of tho Edwards bill
aro simple enough, being neither com.
plicatod nor expensive, The law pro.
vides for state commission Of high
ways, to consist OF five persons, two
each from tho two principal political
parties. Tho 9th member must DO a
aldllcd engineer OF recognized fitness,
who shall receive u salary Of $1,000 pOr
wear. Tho other four commissioners
shall receive each 81 per day when en-
ptoyed, and mileage, A secretary Is to
DO employed by the commission ut $500
per year II shall DO tho duty Of tho
commission to lay out and determine
lines OF road, travorsing tho state and
connecting tho leading citios and towns
and county seats, atIOr tho plans arc
approved by tho county courts Of the
counties through which tho roads pass.
Tho commissioners shall also have
power to widen or close existing roads
and lay out now routes whore better
grades aro necessary All maps and
surveys prepared by the state engineer

Partisanship Is run mad when
such scenes can occur as that
which has disgraced the name OF Kan
sas. Whatever the merits OF the dis
pute between the Republicans and
Populists may be; however just may be
the right of either to organize tho legis-
laturc, there is no palliRtion for the
revolutionary conduct OF both. The
question OF which is the lawfully elected
house of representatives is not ques-
ton to DO settled by the bayonet, nor Is
it one which warrants the maintain
Rnce OF either position by the aid OF
corporations on one side and the mill
tary authorities. on t6e.olher. Kansas
may bleed again, but that will not set
tic the legal issues involved in the dis
pute.
That state legislators, men chosen to
make laws, should become SO controlled
by party passion as, to forget their allie
glance to the regular constituted
authorities for the settlement OF dis
puted elections, is a reflection on their
ability to govern themselves. Such
things have occurred in Kansas before,
however, and the outside world is not
surprised,
In regard to the merits OF the issue
between the belligeront parties, the
Republicans have undoubtedly the
right side. The cause OF tho trouble,
briefly stated is this: The Republicans
have majority OF one on the face OF
returns and are entitled to organize
tho house. Three defeated Populists
arc contestants for seats. The consti-
tuition OF Kansas provides regular
manner Of deciding these contests, but
instead OF observing this. the Popu'
lists organized q second house. Theil
excuse for not waiting for the courts to
decide tho contests because the judici
airy is biased is weak and unprecedent'
ed, Their reliance upon military force
to capture the legislature from tho Re
publicans was revolutionary.
While this action OF the Populistf
was unlawful, the Republicans are moi
altogether blamoless, since their proper
course would have been to await the
decision OF the courts before resortlnG
to force to maintain their right to sit as
the legal legislature.

must be submitted to the county courts
for their approval and action regarding
rights OF way, &c.
Wherever the construction or i'm.
provement OF n highway shall have
been completed, under the proposed
law, the commissioners will transfer it
to the county authorities and it shall
afterward be maintained by the county.
For this purpose the sheriff is directed
to employ such male prisoners in the
Jail and tramps as shall have been COM
mitted to their custody.
On tho requisition OF the commits
sioners the warden OF the penitentiary
shall detail not less than two-thirds OF
the male convicts to labor on the high
ways under the direction OF the COM
missioners, the warden to provide suit
able quarters and guards, necessary
tools, clothing, food, etc, The details
must consist OF the better class OF con-
victs and those committed for the
shortest terms. Convicts not detailed
for this work are to be employed in
making clothing and tools for those
at work on the roads,
These are the main features of the
bill. Whatever defects there are in it
can be easily corrected. In the main it
is step in the right direction and I'M
der the operation we may hope that be-
fore many years West Virginia will en-
Joy an improved system OF roads, solve
the convict labor question, aud rid her
self OF the tramp nuisance, These re-
forms are worth trying ior.

Why Resent a Proper Domand2


With display OF righteousness that
is more amusing than harmful, the Re
gisisr does not hesitate to misrepreaent
the ISTELLIaEScERr regarding its attitude
toward gas board matters-an attitude
which is justified so long as there is q
suspicious and persistent resentment OF
every suggestion that it is the peoples
business to know whether the gas al
fairs have been properly conducted or
not.
In some ili.tempered comments on
this attitude tho Register departs from
tho truth long enough to say, in refer
ence to certain charges the INTELLIdEN-
GER made during the campaign and tho
fact that the Investigation ordered by
Council was never held, that there was
no investigation "because it was found
that there was no ground for an invests
gation-there was nothing to investi-
gate, for there was absolutely nothing
wrong" This assertion is important
news TO the people OF Wheeling. On
whose authority is it made? Certainly
not on the authority OF the committee
instructed to investigate, for no meeting
was ever held for that purpose.
II there was no ground for an investi-
cation why was one ordered? How did
the committee know there was "abso-
lutely nothing wrong" without making
the inquiry ordered by councilP What
right has the Register to speak for that
committee which mover obeyed orders?
II there was nothing wrong, why was
there no official declaration of that fact,
that the man most concerned might be
indicated and his accusers satisfied ?
1t was the public's business, not priv
ate matter.
The INTEIIIGENcER did make specific
charges. There was no "bushwhack-
ing" Not one of those charges, specld-
cally made, was ever disproved. The
Register surely has not forgotten history
SO recently made.
The INTRLIIaEHcsR is not disposed to
trihe with matter OF such serious i'm
portance to the citizens OF Wheeling.
1t repeats what it has before said,
namely, that "there may be more that
the people OF Wheeling should know;
and this is why it would BIO well to give
the gas board thorough Overhauling.
II the gas board is all right, what is the
objection to giving the people convlnc.
ing proof Of that important iact?"
Ii the Register continues its resenttul
course the people will arrive at the con-
clusion that it is afraid for them to in
vestigate the conduct OF their own in.
stitutions. II there is nothing wrong"
no honest man ought to object to an in.

space to-day to letter from DR.. L. NJ.
Turner, president Of the State Univer-
sity, defending himself from the per-
sonal attacks made upon him by a
newspaper in this city. Though tho
war has gone on for two years, Presi-
dent Turner has treated the matter
with dignifed silence, preierring,
doubtless, to trust to time to vindicate
his excellent administration. How
ever, ho now feels called upon to say u
word not only in his own defense, but
in vindication OF the reputation OF the
university.
tits a matter in which all tho people
of the state are concerned, and DR.. Tur-
ner's letter will, on this account, be

1t speaks for itself and throws q flood
OF light on the cause back OF tho weak
attempt to prejudice public opinion
against the faithful and efficient head
OF the state university.
