IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.

One of the most important sub
ieets of material improvement that
can engage the attention of our peo-
pie is shat of good roads. It is a
subject in which not only the farmers,
but all classes are interested. 1t
seems that when a community be-
comes thoroughly alive to the mat
ter and really Institutes q forward
step in this Improvement, they then
see more clearly than every the dis
advantages under which they have
labored in the past and for no con-
sideration would they return to the
former condition of things.
As worthy of consideration along
this line we give the following from
the pen of Rev. Sam Jones:

bespeak for him rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-

is making us pay more for paper, the
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products on
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford to sell it on long
time. So we urge prompt settlement

HOBSON'S CHOICE.
Origin of the Famous Old Saying te
Be Found in London.

Origin of the Famous Old Saying to
Be Found in London.
Baltimore Herald.
The significance of "Hobson's
choice" is that a man has to take
what is left, meaning practically no
choice at all. There used to be an
old pioneer saying, This Is Hob
sons country-if a man has no shoes
be can go barefoOted." For long
time in England Hobson's choice
meant specifically the worst horse in
the stable.
Like most sayings, "HObson's
choice" had serious origin. Dur
ing the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles, particularly in the Shake
spearean era, it was the custom for
we'll to do people to go to and from
the theatres on horseback. Tobias
Hobson, hard headed keeper of a
stable at Cambridge, established the
| custom of placing his horses I line,
accompanied by the strict rule that
| the first patron must take the horse
| nearest the entrance to the theatre.
The enforcement OF this rule caused
much dissatisfaction. The English
gentry were very wrathy over this
lmperlOuS regulation, ana often
berated old Hobson, but to no pur-
pose, as he was man ''set in his
ways"
Since the brilliant performance of
Lieutenant HobsoD at Santiago the
| phrase of "Hobson's choice" has, at
least temporarily, assumed new
significance. In the modern instance,
"Hobson's CHOICE" instead OF re
minding us of a broken-down hack
| horse. brings up a magnificent vision
| of heroic conduct, of daredevil ad-
venture, of patriotic sacrifices.
1t is not likely, however. that the
"Hobson's choice" of Shakespeare's
| time, which has stood the test of
three centuries, will, in the long run,
lose any part OF it's original piqnancy
or applicability.

WAR INDEMNITY.
The Vanqafshed Have to Pay the
Vfcfors Dearly.

Ine tanq0fsneQ Have to Pay the
Vicfors Dearly.
From the Atlanta Journal.l
As a matter of course we will exact
a war indemnity from Spain, when
the conflict is over. Whether that
indemnity will be paid in territory
or whether we shall hold Spanish
territory as security for the debt
until it is paid is uncertain, but in
one way or another Spain will have
to pay dearly.
1t would be impossible for Spain to
raise at once or in a few years sum
sufficient to satisfy our claim, but
she might raise the money on some
of her islands.
Nations which lose in the arbitra-
ment of war have to pay the victor
very heavily.
In 1871 Germany not only took
the greater part of Alsace and
Lorraine, which France had held since
the time of Louis XIV, but was com
PEELED to pay 81, 100000 in money.
This was equivalent to 5000 for
every German soldier who was killed
or wounded in the war with France.
With her wonderful resources, France
was enabled to pay the war debt
| long before it was due, and very
soon after the war in which she lost
so heavily was actually mole pros
| porous than Germany.
The war between Prussia and
Austria ia 1866 lasted only a little
more than a month, but Austria
besides giving up very valuable ter
rltory had to pay war indemnity
of So, 100000.
Russia demanded 100000, 900 fol
the war of 1877, but the amount YVES
reduced through the mediation o
other powers to $16O,OOO,OOO anC
nearly half of that is yet unpaid,
Japan wanted to make China pay
much more for her war expenses thar
she was able to get.
Russia stepped in and compelled
Japan to accept much less territor,
aud money than she demanded ant
expected. She got the islands o
Formosa and Pescadores and $1S5,
100000 in money. A large part o
the fruits of Japan's victory wer
appropriated by Russia, Englan'
and Germany.
The sultan demanded $4,000, 0O'
from Greece at the conclusion of tn
farcical war last year, but the power
would not permit him to exact NOR
than $1O,O0O,OOO
Our war with Spain has alread,
cost an immense sum, and will cos
vastly more. Spain is having hug
account piled up against her.

1t was the eminent Z T. Barnum
who declared as one of the fOunda-
ton truths of his hopeful philosophy:
"More persons, on the whole. are
humbugged by believing in nothing
than by believing in too much"
Yesterday semi-official note, pub
lished in Madrid, announced that
Spain is "full of hope, and deter
mined to continue the war" Even
Brother Barnum's greatest disciple,
Gen. Blanco, could not have asked
for anything better than that.
Spain turns defeats to paper vic
tories, losses to paper gains, debts to
paper promises, and by the gentle
alchemy of continuous lying tries to
make the people believe that she is
winning the war.
