now serving no Interior motive
should influence their removal; where
inefficient men are serving, no motive
should prompt their retention. 1t is
tair in this connection to say that the
public should be willing to divide the
honor or the responsibility with the
commissioners in the selection OF
general road supervisors, and not
reserve their assistance until it takes
the shape of harsh criticism because
of injudicious selections. We are in
ciined to believe that the Commits
sioners are made very much like
other people and are not only willing
but anxious to do what will rebound
to their credit.

THE REMEDY.

Assuming that the aboveis correct,
what are the initial steps toward a
remedy? We will not at this time
discuss a more modern system,
though sincerely pledging our best
support to one which indicates i'm
provement over existing methods;
but make some suggestions as to
executing the present one.
First and most important, select
general road supervisors with special
fitness for their work, rather than
for any other reasons. This is not a
very difficult task and will make it
possible for the Commissioners
through them to keep in touch with
all the roads and all the travelling
public. 1t will be good politics, and
still better it will be good bust
ness morals and give good business
results. Such men should keep we'll
informed as to the condition of their
roads, treat considerably, inquiries,
complaints and offers of aid made
by their patrons, educate the latter
rs to the proper use and the frequent
abuse of roads, and use their best
endeavors to secure competent road
members. When such are found they
should be given all the road they will
mend within reasonable time, in
stead of parceling it out in small
sections, sometimes for grossly i'm
proper reasons.
Wehave dwelt at some length upon
this branch of the subject because at
an early day these men will be settled
for the ensuing year, and it is due
alike to the County Commissioners
and the taxpaying traveller that they
should be selected because of their
special fitness. Where good men are

FAIR DEALING.

When the National Gamers Asso-
citation meets in Cincinnati in Feb
ruary, no subject of more practical
Importance to their business can
come before them than the advisable
ity of formulating reasonable rules
and regulations to control the mutual
actions of Gamer and jobber with
reference to the acceptance or reJec-
ton of goods bought under contract.
While this is an ever fruitful sub
ject of difficulty to the trade, it ap-
plies with special force when special
causes affect the market. For in
stance, in a year when the output is
short, the Gamer gets his opportuni-
ty to thrust on his buyer goods not
up to standard. We recall several
years ago a sale of tomatoes in
March Eat 60 cents subject to
sample" and when the samples were
made up in August of such charac-
ter that the Gamer earnestly desired
a rejection, goods then being at 95
cents, the jobber 'sreply was accept
ed but not acceptable" in other
words, he could not afford on the
existing market to reject anything.
But the shoe ordinarily fits the
other foot; the goods are shipped to
a distant market, probably on sight
draft with bill of lading attached, and
in course of time they are rejected,
frequently for nominal reason by the
jobber. The Gamers goods are then
subjected to heavy demurrage, they
are in distant territory where the
legal charge for looking after his in
terests is heavy, and he is practical
ly compelled under most circum-
stances to accept cut-rate price or
stand heavy loss through litiga-
ton.
This condition has been more con-
spicuous this season than ever be-
fore, growing out of the stagnation
in trade, caused by the financial
panic. 1t is we'll known to all in
terested in the canning trade in Har-
ford how completely it has been para
lyzed during the past two months,
goods in almost every case lying in
foreign field unaccepted and drawing
heavy charges; but it is apparent
that the innocent shipper, who has
in good faith fulfilled the conditions
of his contract should not be the suf-
ferer. A proper set of rules govern
ing the relations of shipper and
buyer, to be carried out faithfully by
both, the offender being subject to
such punishment as the association
may find necessary, just as is done
under similar circumstances in other
lines of trade, would 60 far, not only
to educate the commercial morals of
both, but to preclude serious griev-
ance which is continually showing
itself in this important line of our
trade.
Boards of trade in other lines have
accomplished wonders in this way
and there is no good reason why
their successful methods should not
be applied to this very important in
dustry.

CHRISTMAS.

Ere the Kgis greets its friends
again they will have joined in glad
hallelujahs which for over nineteen
hundred years have made the welkin
ring on Christmas morn. Old men
will have become young-at least for
single day-and lent glad hand
and CHEEKY voice to their younger
companions as they merrily ring the
Christmas chimes.
We do not even conjecture how
long this annual holiday will hold
first place among christian nations,
for we would not, if we could, pene-
trate the dim distant future and see
when life shall be no more on this
earth; but when we glance for but a
moment at the Christian nations of
the earth and note how they have
given to the world practically all
that is worth living for, we can in
feeble way try to measure their
gratitude for the Great Gift when the
wise men from the East fell down
and worshiped Him at Bethlehem.
So let us all be merry on this glad
day, for it contains blessings enough
to go around and to spare. There
are many who sometimes do not
seem to get their share,-these especi-
ally should appropriate large por-
ton of the Christmas blessings to
themselves.
And, to be sure that the good cheer
will certainly hold out, let US all dis
pense some,-even though it be only
little. There are few who cannot
give a smile and a cheerful word,
both of which are often worth more
than fine gold; and none who cannot
give cup of cold water in His name.
Such gifts nought impoverish the
giver, and oft make the recipient rich
indeed. Then too we may we'll re-
member that it is more blessed mot
necessarily more agreeable) to give
than to receive, and there are a good
many of US for whom it is we'll worth
while to increase their stock of bless
ings. To this class we believe the
blessings will be biggest if their gifts
are specific, not general; if instead of
contenting themselves with drifting
along with the crowd of merry
makers thinking chow much we are
doing" they seek out, as opportuni-
ty and ability will permit, one or
more worthy objects and make dill
gent study and persistent effort to
guarantee to such a bright, CHEEKY,
joyous Christmas day.

A PHRLLC ROAD SYSTEM.

We are glad to publish elsewhere
communication from one of our lead
ing citizens on the above subject, and
trust that it may be followed by
others.
is only by hearing from the pub
lie that officials can discover what
their patrons want, and it is Proba-
BILE that every such communication
will contain some good points, so
that together they might be very
helpful in for nulating satisfactory
system.
Before considering any thing con-
structive it IS we'll to note some ex-
listing difficulties to meet:
First, the county is not richer or
poorer than its people and has prac-
tically the same problems to meet in
doing its work. We venture the as
sertion that not two per cent. OF our
population are in a position to buy
lust when and where and what their
best Judgment dictates; indeed they
are often compelled to let bargains
go by the board, or to adapt their
Purchases to their purchasing power,
though satisfied in doing so that
UGH a course is dictated by the
inch of necessity rather than by
shrewd business Judgment. Just so
road-mending is often done on a
meager scale, not because it is de-
sirable but because no funds are
available for more thorough work.
Second, the proposition that gravel
where available should be used in
stead of broken stone because so
much more fairly good road can be
built for the same money, is we'll
taken; but in its application it is
limited to a small part of the coun-
ty because gravel pits are confined to
limited areas. We are pretty fami-
liar with the topography and soil
composition of Hartford, but recall
no gravel deposits except in portions
of the lower half Of the county.
Third, it does not follow that the
$35O,OOO spent during the past ten
years Oh our earth roads has been
wastedbecause we have few maca-
dam road resulting therefrom; every
householder has little to show at the
end of ten years for the money con-
sumed for food, clothing and other
wear-and-tear expenses of his family,
except the kno Wedge that he and
his family have lived thereby and
enjoyed the comforts flowing there
from. Just so in the case of roads,
where this money has been discreetly
expended travel has been made
reasonably satisfactory for from
eight to ten months in the year. We
will probably all agree that the
smallest possible amount should be
spent il repairing earth roads and
as much as possible be dedicated to
permanent Improvement.
Fourth, great emphasis is always
laid-and properly soon repairing
roads at the proper time; but while
the Importance of this applies with
equal force to every calling in life, it
is often very hard to carry out the
rule. Probably not one farmer in
Hartford during the past season has
been able to plant and save all his
crops at the most seasonable time; it
has been the old question of supply
and demand, with the demand far
above the supply. Stillless then has
it been possible in many cases to Sc
ire proper workmen on the roads
FOR the very modest price paid.
