The women OF Perrysburg school
district No. l cast 23l ballots at the
Election last Monday, and OF the entire
number only one ballot was marked
incorrectly. OF the other ballots cast
for school board by the male voters, a
large number were so marked that only
one candidate Of the entire six could be
given the count. This proves that
the average woman is either more
intelligent, or, knowing that she may
not be correct, is more willing to be
instructed so that her vote may be
properly marked. To those who were
watching the voting, it was rather
amusing to observe how some of the
men who would be indignant IL their
knowledge OF such matters was doubted
had marked their ballots in such man
ner that only one candidate would
receive the count. They did not know
how to vote, and were too full of foolish
pride to ask for instruction. Voters,
especially, should remember that it is
no disgrace to seek knowledge, even
though 1t refer to the casting of bal
lot. The ladies of Perrysburg have
reason to feel proud of the condition in
which their ballots were cast last Mon
day,

Representative Norris recently intro
duced bill for improving turnpikes
but it was killed in the house. 1t pro-
proposed to have the township trustees
improve roads by macadamlzing, and to
use convict labor for the purpose of
crushing stone. If the prisoners es-
capped they were to be hunted by blood
hounds. The latter clause is what
caused the bill to be defeated, because
some of the members thought that feat
ure not in keeping with the humanita
ran ideas OF the present time. While
this feature may have been too severe,
the bill In itself was step in the right
direction. Convict labor could be used
in this manner and be of greater benefit
to the State and at the same time be
sayed the horrors of confinement in the
idle house as many OF them are at the
present time. The money spent by the
State to maintain prisoners in idleness
would be used TO greatly benefit the
general public. The possibilities OF es-
cape would not be 80 great as might be
supposed. The trusty conYlcts could be
used as guards over the less trust
worthy, and in many ways this great
army of convicts could be employed for
the Improvement OF highways through.

Now that politics have been settled
for the Spring let the citizens of Per-
rysburg turn their attention to the
improvement of the village. Let the
streets be ut least put in passabls con-
dition. Let it be known that the
principal streets of the village are In
such condition that people may come
to town with teams and not fear losing
both teams and vehicles in the bogs OF
the village. Let it be known that the
few stone sidewalks are so constructed
that pedestrians do not need to wear
rubber boots in order to wade through
the pudies OF water that are always to
be found after rain. Wherever side
walks are so laid as TO form reservoirs
let the stones be taken up and properly
re-laid. When crossing ls put in let it
be so constructed that it can be found
without using shovel TO dig it out oi
the mud, When a sidewalk needs
repair, see that the repairs are proper
ly and promptly made and do not serve
notice upon property owners to build
Wake and then allow them TO dc
as they please about 1t. These
suggestions are not intended
as personal reflections upon an,
particular person, but direct him
to all people who have been yestet
with authority (Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike). Let the village of Perrys
burg unite and resolve that this village
80 greatly endowed by Nature shall b,
what she can be--the most beautilu
suburban village In the State OF Ohio
II only needs unanimity OF action O
our people to make 1t 80, Shall it b.
so, or shall We sit In the mud, nursing
sore heads, jealousy and discomfort
: ment forever, while other villages loo
upon US as sluggards aud mossbacks?

The Toledo Collectorship and the
Cuban situation seem to be locked up
in the Administration strong box, and
while the JOURNAL is not inclined to
complain with the delay in the latter
case, because we cannot be expected to
know the real condition OF affairs gov
erning this great international situa-
tion, yet we believe the time tor action
in the collectorship matter has long
since passed the point where patience
is a virtue, and the unwarranted
delay should no longer be tolerated.
Surely the people have some rights,
and it Is time that some action be
taken that will compel the settlement
OF this too long delayed appointment.
II there are no Republicans in the dis
trict who are capable of filling the posi-
tion, let the fac: be made known and
thus end the contest. We have always
supposed Messrs Bonner, Waldorf,
Vortriede, Weed, ct al, to be men
worthy OF al least a respectable reiec-
tion, but the powers that be seem to
give them but little notice and the
present situation is becoming rather
disgusting TO say the least. In this
connection it may not be out OF place to
remind Congressman Southland that to
him is accorded no little blame for this
delay, and if he desires to make good
stroke for himself, let him put forth
his strongest efforts in behalf of an
early settlement of this appointment.
II the two Senators cannot agree the
President should take the matter out
OF their hands and make the appoint
ment without consulting either. A
third party is oft times very handy in
the settlement of such disputes.

In conversation with the Board OF
Commissioners at their meeting last
Tuesday, the JOURNAL was informed
that there was no law for the proper
care OF the old pike road. They claim
that when the road was turned oyer to
the tender mercies OF the counties
through which 1t was construct ed,
there was no law provided Tor its main
tenance, which accounts in great
measure for the apparent neglect by
means of which the road has been per-
mitted to become remarkable for its
miserable condition. A small levy has
been made for the purpose of keeping
up the road but it is not sufficient to
make the muoh needed repairs. The
Commissioners are ready to do any
thing they are enabled to do under the
present law. Either a special bill
must be passed to provide for this road
or it will soon be worse than a mud
road
