LEETowN. January %, lS99:
DEAR REGISTER The question win
us today is not annexation but agita,
ton: and what to agitate is ROADS.
Now I will assert without fear OF con-
tradiction that we have as rich coun-
tv. agricuturally, as any in the state
and in intelligence our people certainly
are the peers Of any in any section OF
this broad land. Now what does this
all amount TO if we do not make some
use of our advantages The day mas
come when this county should come 10
the front with good macadamlzed roads
Free roads. The farmers as class are
the ones 10 be benefited by this I'M
provement, and they are strongly In Ia
vor Of It. The question is up as 10 the
taking away of the tollgateS and keep
ing our roads in repair by taxation.
The farmers pay the most Of the taxes
for roads, each district paying for lis
own roads. and they are beginning TO
see the great benefits that will come 10
them by having good turnplkeS all over
our country free of gates.
Does anyone for moment think that
of all the taxes we pay the road tax IS
the only one that comes back TO the DIS
trict that pays 1t. and is paid out 10 the
Iaborers in that district! So we have the
money back. but also have the improved
roads which money, if judicially spent,
i a standing invest meut, more lmpor-
tant TO US and yielding L larger interest,"
than any government bonds. Now hOld
that the office of county commissioner
is an important one We elect those men
TO attend to the fiscal affairs OF the cOun-
ty. 1t is an office that requires business
men. We expect greater things OF our
commissioners than TO say they have
lowered the tax levy So many cents IN
the hundred dollars. We want good
roads. We demand them. Reads can
not be built without money, and we ask
them to levy for a SuticieutSum 10 com
mence merchandising our roads upon Il
larger scale than IS now being done.
Heretofore ii has been with how small a
sum of money can the roads be kept up.
Let the court determine that they Will
pat this county in the forefront OF all
other counties with good roads. The
farmers will stand by them. Let them
appoint good men as road surveyors; II
the present surveyors do not do good
work put them out Appoint such men
as J. NJ. Hendricks, Of ShepherdStown
district. who have the subject OF good
roads at heart, and also have the intelii-
gence to make them.
In closing will make this prediction.
that if our county will fully determine
and maradamize all the main roadS,t that
in less than ten years this grand old
county of Jefferson Will be the garden
spot of all this eastern section OF our
great country. Our lands viii bring 20
per cent more in the market, and our
people will bless the day and the man
that inauguratcd good roads.
This county should not follow but
take the lcad-the material prosperity
3r our people demands it, Living as We
do in the heart OF the great Shenandoah
Valley. almost within sight OF the Ma
tons Capitol. let US push To the front
aud let others follow. FARMER.

FREE TURNPlkES.

We have noted with interest the
movement on foot in Jefferson county
looking to the adjustment of toll-gates
and making the turnpikes free to all
travellers. The plan of those who favor
free pixies is to do away with the ex-
penses of gate-keepers and superin-
tendents, and by direct taxation raise
sufficient money to keep the roads in
good repair. 1t is claimed that this
can be done with very slight increase
in the taxes.
The REGISTER is, first of all, in favor
of good roads. We would not favor
the present movement until plan Is
matured and adopted that will provide
for the maintenance Of our turnplkes
at their present standard and look to
the extension of good roads When
this can be accomplished, we shall be
only too glad to see the toll-gates go.
1t is not wise, however, to give up one
plan until better is substituted.
The roads of Jefferson county are
conceded to be, we believe, fully up to
the average and great deal better
than some in our neighboring States
This is not, in our opinion, sufficient.
A county as wealthy as this and with
as intelligent and progressive people,
ought to be far in the lead so far as
good roads are concerned All that
is needed to accomplish this is thought
full and intelligent cooperation on the
part of our citizens and our county
court. 1t ought not be a difficult mat
ter to devise a system that would
eventually result in good roads all over
the county.
There has been talk recently of the
purchase of stone-crushers. We heart
lily favor this proposition. Four or five
of these machines, which can be pur-
chased on easy terms and at moderate
prices, could be made to do much to-
ward macadamizing our roads. With
unlimited quantities oflimestone--the
best material for road making that Is
known-the expenditure Of a moder-
ate sum of money would show Won
derful results in few years. 1t Is
modest estimate to say that IN each OF
the five districts of the county 1t Is
possible to construct three miles Of
macadamized road in a year, without
unduly burdening the taxpayers.
This would give US in the county hf-
teen miles of new turnpike in year.
In ten years we would have $50 miles!
The combined wisdom of our citi-
zens ought to give US plan for i'm
proving the roads. Then with capA-
bic road supervisors, such as J. NJ
Hendricks, John P. Keartott, Z. II.
MrDon,lI .nl othars UhO have shown
that they understand their business,
to carry on the practical part Of the
work, Jefferson county would make a
big stride forward in the line of pro-
erosion and public Improvement.
We hope to see continued agitation
of this subject until the result shall
be turnplkes-free, if possible-all
over the county.

Mr.. McGraw Interviewed.

Hon. John T. McGraw, Of West Vir-
gina, was IN Washington the first OF
the week, and was III conference with
his friends in the United States SEN
ate concerning the prospects OF success
should the seat OF Hon n B. Scott be
contested. In answer TO "a question
concerning this matter he sand:
The revolutionary proceedings Of
the Senate Of West Virginia, II allowed
to 90 unrebuked, threaten the whole
fabric of constitutional government IN
that State. Ii the Legislature of West
Virginia can, by an agreement, deter
mine that a part OF the votes Of the
Senate shall neither be cast nor in any
way considered in the choice of Uni
ted States Senator, then Just to that
extent the Legislature can defranchlse
portions Of the State as to any office
If their action be legal, then 1t would
be legal for them to determine that all
of the officers of the State, including
the Uulted States Senators, should be
elected by the votes Of the people OF
Charleston or Wheeling. The consti-
tuition Of West Virginia is very explicit
as to the two Senators who accepted
commissions in the army. These votes
We're counted and constitute part of
the votes received by Commissioner
Scott, and the protest spread upon the
journal of the joint convention brings
the matter directly to the considera-
ton of the United States Senate Ny
contention is in harmony with the un-
broken precedents Of the Senate for
one hundred years, with the exception
of the reconstruction period, which IN
volved rump houses IN two cases.

We believe our Legislature would
do well to repeal the Australian bal
lot system and return TO the old style
of voting from the vest pocket. The
Australian method is expensive and
cumbersome and pretends to have
many merits that are positive disad-
vantages to honest or secret voting.
We don't believe that the present sys-
tenn of voting is as free from corrup-
ton as the old way, and there is, in
our opinion, more rascslity at the cleo
tions now than there was ten years
ago.

THERE are some indications that
the sober second thought of the Amer
lean people is being aroused, aud the
policy of expansion is not as popular
as it was few months ago. Of
course, the administration is so fully
committed to the new idea that it
must push it through, but We doubt
if the people will endorse the move
ment when its folhes and fallacies are
fully aired.
