Our
taxpayers" letter in the Homecoming
star this week is much better toned and
expressed than his effort of the week be-
fore.
So far is this true the JOURNAL is com
PEELED to admit there is much force III
his suggestions-if the current poverty
stricken methods of road administration
are to continue.
But why should they continue:
Congress is in session, the district has
a representative therein and the State
two Senators-why not have those gen
tlemen understand that now is the time
for governmental charity to begin at
home?''
There is a patent medicine illustration
of the therapeutic policy pursued by self
curists who are removing their ailments
by surface treatment. The advertiser
lIkens them to people who heat water by
building and maintaining the fire on top
of the kettle.
That is precisely what Congress Is do
ing all the time. The fire burns on top
for army snobbery, naval tuft-hunting
and other forms of big bumble-beedom.
The only transportation problems that
troubles that august body are those far
away, the isthmian canal, for instance
Hence, it is time for III" peop'r to start
the fire nnder the kettle, if they and
their children are ever to enjoy the full
filment of the primary purpose OF gov
eminent of, by and for the people.
Let it be understood as we go along
that Allegany county is not alone snf-
fering from current systems of road adj
ministratiOn.
The problem, national i'll scope, seems
to demand national solution, Mgi""i"g
~th the peopie themselves!
In one respect this county is an eXcep-
tional sufferer, the mining region par
ticularly-that from the absence at hand
of suitabIe material for making good
roads. The proper bases of durable road
surface must be brought here at consider
ably increased cost.
Let it be remembered also that mis-
carriage of river and harbor appropria-
tions is not a valid objection to giving
the roads chance. There will be frauds
and steals, no doubt, just as there are III
other lines of development, but the other
lines of development, 60 on just the
same, with several big rogues i'll the
penitentiary.
The JOURNAL believes firmly that
while we are about it Allegany county
should take the lead in claiming from
the government the same consideration
and promotion of the means for domestic
transportation as is so hvishly given to
the same purpose o"tside tie ro""fry.

Lynch Law.

The Leesburg authorities are de-
termined to make an example of
those who participated, in the lynch
ing of Charles Craven, colored,
charged with murder. The Judge
of the County Court recently deliver
ed charge to the grand jury, in
which their duty was pointed out in
no uncertain language. The grand
jury has measured up TO It's response
bilities, and brought in true bills
against those who participated - this
reckless disregard of the laws of the
land. \ number of the participants
are now in custody, and il remains
for the petit juries to pass upon the
indictments brought against th-u.
We do not mean to forestal the
legal tribunals: but we do SAY. that
If any Of the accused are found
guilty, splendid opportunity Is
offered to uphold the majesty of the
law, and check Judge Lynch The
offence with which Craven was
charged was the murder of white
man. The law was competent to
deal with his case. He was in custo-
dy, and awaiting his trial. IL the
evidence proved his guilt, he would
have been hung by the neck till he
he was dead, and this by the law of
the land. Such a termination Of his
case would have been an example TO
others of his color, not to do what
Craven had done But some men
wantonly set the law aside, and did
to death the man charged with muir
der. As result of their hasty act,
they today have taken the supposed
murderer's place. They have become
law breakers. Their homes are
darkened by impending disgrace. If
guilty, the law should be rigidly en-.
forced, and others inclined toward
lynch law will have their attention
diverted to the statute books. and the
peace and dignity Of the common.
wealth will be preserved.

Nirginia'S Gratitude.

Mr.G. W. Lindsay, Fredericksburg.
has contributed the following article
to the Boston Globe, which we clip
from that paper of the 9th instant:
Kindly permit Southern man to
express through your columns, that
gratitude, respect and esteem, which
the writer feels towards your noble
townsman and patriot, Hon. Charles
Francis Adams, because of manly
and just utter ances lately delivered
before public assembly in Chicago
in eulogy Of General Robt. L. Lee.
His remarks in praise and exhon-
GRAFTON of Lee. one of America
truest and greatest sons, were but
just even IN their lofty strains; and
coming from the lips aud heart OF
one Of New England's noblest sons
these utterances should arouse on
behalf of Mr.. Adams in the breast
OF every true American citizen that
esteem and respect SO Justly due him,
1t was that magnanimous conduct
shown Lee at the surrender at Appo.
mattox, that caused the whole South
to respect Gen. Grant. 1t is such
conduct AS this, enacted and express.
ed by our ablest and best citizens.
both North and South, that has a,
last united our country III that
amity and concert Of action, which
should have existed since the framing
Of our Constitution, even to the
present time. But for the nccursed
influence wrought by fanatics of both
sections. such would have been the
case. Thanks to God, that the
black cloud of bitterness that has
obscured the better sentiments of our
people has at last passed away. No
one did more to bring about this
happy state of affairs than our late
martyred President, WIN. Mckinley.
When viewed from the standpoint
of the loftiest Christian character
and ali those attributes that unite in
forming the noblest type of man

great sons Robert +. Lee had AN
equal, that man was VIM. Mckinley.
OF Ohio, whose untimely death not
only enshrouded our nation in the
deepest grief and lamentstion, but
caused the whole civilized world TO
express u sympathy and regret for
the loss of so good and great a man.
1t is the life, example and character
of such men as these, that dispense
about the flag of our nation it's dig
nifty, glory and fame.
The following anecdote of Gen.
Lee more beautifully pictures the
noble character of this great aud
good man, than all his victories won
upon the field of battle. The story
was told by DR.. Henkle, of New
Market, who was ut that time a
member of Gen. Lees staff.
Lees army had gone into winter
quarters in 1864, and there was uni.
verssl want felt throughout the camr
