Some of our exchanges have been
saying unpleasant things about our
new United States Senator. Geogra
phically speaking Crittenden county
has been considered an outlying pro-
vince of all the civic divisions, and
the obtuse have evidently been erro-
neously reasoning that nothing good
except the PRESS, Of course-could
come out OF Nazareth. THIS ia not
the first time this idea has been prov.
en- ephemeral. Just wait until our
Senator develops, as occasions pre-
sent themselves, aud then it will be
early enough for untavorsbis criti-
cislns, if such are deserved.

Kentucky's senior Senator, Lind
sey, has recently awakened to the
fact that "free silver" is not dead.
He has SO expressed himself and he
further says that there is something
wrong with the financial legislation
of the country. He does not under
take to prescribe for the disease, but
he admits its existence. 1t is a pity
that doctor. believing his patient
suffering, does not recommend either
a medicine or change of diet.

If Senator Deboe had properly APP
preciated the hotel keepers Of his
home town, he would not have rush &.
ed off to Washington so quick. Ten
days in Marion would have added
many dollar to the till of our bland
landlords, The "pie hunters" rolled

one of the races at our old county
fair. Had our Senator remained with
us a couple Of weeks, Marion would
have been a Mecca, second only to
Washington.

Whiskey Tax to be Raised.

Washington, May 4.-The internal
revenue tax on whiskey is to be in.
creased. 1t is now s1.10 a gallon
and the increase is expected to be at
least fifteen cents. The sub commit.
tee Of the Senate Finance Committee
has arrived at this conclusion. It
has made up its mind that it might
as well 60 the whole thing on the in.
ternal revenue features. So beer,
and whisky are to have in
creased taxes.

Again gold Is being drawn from the
United States Treasury, and shipped
to Europe. The endless chain mach
merry of the gold standard has thus
been put in motion, and it is likely to
move on until the treasury reserve
melts away, and Wall street demands
another issue of bonds. Secretary
Gage has already been to New York
to ascertain from the bond hawkers
"what sort of legislation is most nee
died."

OUR ROADS.

roads" and bad ones. too, IN the win
ter and spring, but when summer
comes and old Sol, with his trip ham
mer of hot rays, pounds our road
beds into a solid mass, hard as con.
crete, the road question drops to the
bottom Of the calendar, there to re.
main until resurrected by the fall
rains. Any thought Of fine ROADS in
! this country during the winter and
spring is simply Utopian. We may
amuse ourselves with our magma
ton, picturing turnpike here and
there, or skip along at a two forty
gait with Pegasus over graded and
graveled imagery, but SO far as ever
seeing these things in this section
we may as well dismiss the idea, or
leave the problem to be wrought out
by the children Of our great grand
Children and really, if the tide does
not turn, they will not have time to
play with the imagination, much less
the means wherewith to build roads.
We may, however, console our
selves with this fact, that while our
roads readily yield to water, they
just as readily yield to sunshine,
Comparatively speaking, they are
"bad" one day and ''good" the next
They are neither bad all the time nor
good all the time. The philosopher
might say that they are prototypes
of ourselves, placid, tranquil and
smoo.he; rugged, rough and ugly, |
each in season; for has not some po-
ct said
"The good are half bad, the bad half
good"
While we may not entertain the
idea of fine roads, of turnpikes, gra.
ded aor graveled roads, we can dis
cuss the road problem from a more
practicable point of view. We can
not have fine roads, but we can have
better roads; improvements can be
made. The best is not obtainable,
put better is within our reach. First,
among the things that should be con
,idered in this matter is, can the for.
,es no v spent in working the public
'oads be directed so as to prove more
advantageous. The labor is the ca
,ital spent on the roads. Can this
capital be 80 spent as to bring IN
greater returns2 Can the labor be
more intelligently directed? DO the
Dad overseers exercise the best judg
nent in the use Of the means placed
n their hands for working the roads2

Broad silvered braiding answers the same
