About two years ago we furnished

Mr.. Edgar, In commenting upon the

"Whilc 1t il true that our road and

tensive system Of road making, 1t Is pos

and laying the foundation of IL grand
system of county roads. may state
that this county is about two thirds
black prairie and the balance mountain
land The black land furnishes good
dry weather road. but bad and often
impossible one in wet weather The
mountain roads are rough but never
closed TO travel, and do not give the
travellers much trouble Road improve
ment is, therefore, confined to our black
mud lanes For some years the county
has owned a number of scrapers, mule
teams, plows, etc, which were used for
road purposes. but the controlling pow
er seemed content to do small repairs
and had no plan of road-making.
Now, we have II good grading ma
chine, drawn by twelve mules, which
eXcavates the soil on the sides and
dumps it in the middle of the road,
leaving good bitches We have
also got a stone crushing machine,
driven by steam power, for converting
rock into road metal.
Our mountain formation is lime
stone, well adapted for road material
in this climate, where we never have
frost TO swell and h,ave as in more
northern climates There is
plenty of good material being used, in
deed more than plenty, in fact more
than double the amount necessary.
Our roads are being covered with
crushed stone To a depth of twelve to
eighteen inches, according TO the vary
ing formation of the surface This is
not thoroughness, but waste. Macad-
am rarely put down u coat OF material
thicker than six or eight inches, the
exception being the near approach 10
large cites, where the traffic was con-
tinuous and heavy II six
inches of road metal ever made "a good
and durable road, IL would do so where
they are now depositing eighteen
inches
THAT is where the waste comes by
this management we are now getting
but one mile OF road where we should
have two and half, aud that of "A bet
ter quality The chief item OF
cost where convict labor and steam
crushers are used is for hauling. Our
farmers are arranging 81 do this volun-
tarily by weekly turns IL
seems 20 me If the farmers in our
black land counties would unite in this
matter and press IL upon their county
representatives, instead of clamoring
and demanding impossible concessions
from paternal government, they
would be doing more To improve their
condition and advance the prosperity
of their class"
Any comment on the foregoing
seems TO rs To be unnecessary. 1t
shows conclusively that the work of
improving American roads Ia much
harder In contemplation than in reali-
ration; and, although necessarily n
work of considerable magnitude. IL
must be apparent TO the thoughtful
mind that the same character of ener-
gy, persistence and intelligence which |
has produced such stupendous results
In the development of other branches
OF our internal improvements, must
eventually give To this country u con-
dition OF pablo highways which VIII |

France made several unkind remarks
some years ago about the procrastination of
Americans apropos of the delay in prepar-
ing a suitable tomb for Gen. Grant. 1t is
not to be argued that those words Of
reproach were unwarranted OF undeserved.
The citizens of New York were greatly
remiss in this matter. But now comes word
to show that critics are often blind to
nearby faults. Victor Hugo's coffin in the
Pantheon of Paris rests today upon the
temporary trestles upon which it was set
on the day Of his funeral about ten years
ago. At the time of his death there was a
great outburst of sentiment, richly deserved
IN the case Of this great man of letters, and
there was a rush toward a fund for the
erection of splendid monument to the
novelist. But the enterprise has slumbered
and today the subscriptions are few and
small. Can 1t be that the volatile French
nature Is not even stable enough to be true
to the great dead of the nation? Is 1t pos
sible that the unsentimental Yankee, intent
upon business and in too much Of a hurry
for tears. has more lasting memory for
illustrious names than the exuberant
Frenchman? Why would 1t not be a good
thing for the American lovers Of Hugo-and
they are probably quite as numerous as his
French friends-to chip In now and build
this long-neglected monument?

General Master Workman Sovereign Of
the knights of Labor IL by no means the
unreasonable person many folks believe
him to be, speaking comparatively, he
may properly be referred to a moder
ate man and not given to revolutionary
rotions. People v no have followed the de-
vious trail made by Mr.. Sovereign's wan
dering ideas will. perhaps, fiEd Ii difficult
to believe this, but the evidence is 50
strong and so recent as to be FAR beyond
any efforts at cross-exan.ination. In his
annual address, delivered at New Oriears
Thursday Mr. Sovereign urged mis- fellow
knights to advocate decrease in the regu-
lar army and the abolition of the state
militia. How these suggestions were re-
ceived doth not yet appear, hut the proba
bllities are that they achieved instant
popularity, not because they were novel;
for similar propositions have been made by
Others who, for some reason or other, dis
agreed with the statutes which have been
dr ly made and provided-but because they
were conservative. Avowsd anarchists and
others Of the intensely radical school would
not have stopped 50 far short of what. to
them, would be the desirable ultimate;
they would have insisted upon the abolition
of all United States marshals, would have
demanded the discharge of every policeman
In the country, and have urged legislation
which would make 1t penal offense for
any man to be a sheriff or peace officer Of
any sort. whether of high or low degree.
Mr.. Sovereign might have done these things
himself, but he graciously refrained from
pulling the throttle wide open, and will be
satisfied to have the country crawl along
with a acknowledgements army and no
tional guard. Mr.. Sovereign's generosity
Is so great as to be surpassed in bulk only
by his patriotism.

Much depends upon the outcome OF the
trial that the coroner at Washington Court
House. Ohio, seeks to Institute in the case
II Col. Colt and Sheriff Cook, whom he
held on the charge of murder. The facts
oner was on trial on a serious charge,
public feeling was greatly aroused against
him, and the sheriff became fearful that he
could not protect the man from wratbful
,itizens. Under the laws of the state the
Iheriff has authority to call upon the mill
Tia in such cases, and, when he had be-
come convinced that there was a lynching
spirit abroad, he summoned a portion of
the fourteenth regiment. Ohio National
Guard, commanded by Col. Colt, who
promptly responded with one company.
After the trial. the prisoner being sem
fenced to a term of Imprisonment for
twenty years, public feeling became in
tense and there was imminent danger of
a riot. The sheriff and the militia barri-
caded the jail and made a sturdy defense
against the mob, which grew larger and
more threatening. Finally an assault was
made upon the structure by the leaders.
and they were commanded to stand back
A warning was given that the order to fire
would follow II they persisted. They gave
no heed, but again advanced to take the
prisoner by force. Thereupon Col. Colt
gave the order to fire, and four men were
killed and several others were wounded.

ity. but yet granted the protection Of the
highest authority, the law. was at stake
The resultant deaths are to be deplored
The succeeding proceedings, however are
much more disastrous, for now there is
threatened tie efficacy of the soldiery
which must always be the last resort Of
government against insurrection and an
archy. There is a combat between the
lynching spirit and the spirit of order. Be
tween these, good citizens cannot hesitate
to choose. The action of the coroner in
declaring Col. Colt and Sheriff Cook guilty
of murder-without the aid Of a jury it
would seem-brings to focus the ques-
ton Of whether or not the militia is to be
given the support of the law in its as
sistance to the law. There Is a fallacy in
the corohcr's reasoning in that he holds
both the commander and the sheriff re-
sponsble. There cannot be two sources
of authority in such a case. The COM
mander received his orders from the sher-
if, who, therefore, can only be respon-
sble. But neither should be SO regarded,
unless the accounts Of the tragedy which
were received at the time were very mis-
leading. In the District of Columbia there
is, fortunately. a provision in the statute
creating the National Guard that no men,
Der OF ii shall be held accountable for
casualties that may be the result of or
ders given TO the guard. Such law Is
reeded wherever there Is chance that the
militia may at any time be called to sup
plement the ordinary machinery of the
courts or the government. The three are
so thoroughly blended that they cannot
safely be separated.

There is no charitable institution in this
our citizens than the Home for Incurables,
which is now forced to appeal for aid. This
home Is the last resort of the hopeless in
valid. 1t takes cases that can no longer
be kept in the hospitals. 1t now affords a
shelter for forty-eight helpless, homeless
penniless, hopeless inmates of all ages and
conditions. Yet while other institutions
receive aid through congressional appro-
priations, not a dollar of such money goes
to this worthy charity. The other day the
managers issued an appeal to the charita-
BILE people of the District for aid, stating
that at that time there were but S2.lS IN
the treasury, while there was pressing de-
mand for money to meet necessary eX-
penses. The past summer has been most
trying on such an institution as this, and
the revenues have been sadly depleted. a
dollar given now may save life, for the
inmates of this home are in a sad condi-
ton and require every possible comfort.
Such appeals as this cannot fail to fill the
heart with sympathy. People in aftluent
circumstances who have dear ones OF their
own may be able to understand what such
suffering is, what 1t would mean to have
those near to their hearts afflicted with
hopeless disease, what it would be to be-
to find an incurable surrounded by every
luxury, but when such a case occurs in
poverty it is distressing indeed.
