THE PIKE COUNTY DEMOCRAT Br a. »cC. stoops. ritIDAY, FEB. 3^893. - The Oakland Ciif Journal has made its appearance and from its looks seems to be catching at once. It is clean and full of news from an independent standpoint. it

Ms. FIarrmon could makes fining and consistent end or his administration by appointing Lair Partner Miller to the supreme beneh vacatev. The country’s estimate of Mr. Hijfrleott is seen the fact that the couiitrv is looking for such a result as a possibility. The article in the Press -of last week in answer to The Democrat's articles of the week previous on citv affairs, shows the hand of one who is being slightly fed at the crib. The Democrat is not kicking on his salary. It is low, very low, for one of his ability. Keep a stiff upper lip and your salary will be increased. Win® Cum Foo is in Washington as the representative of “the Chinese Equal Rights League ” but he ought to know that it is useless to t^k about the rights of Cfiinamen in' America. They have been out lawed by act of congress and they have fewer rights in enr courts than a dog on trial for being dangerous to t lie neghborhood. EjcieuNciKS frequently arise in which poor bruins would he very expensive economy.Prett. This is very good coming from the source it does just at this critical period in the stage of affairs in the town of Petersburg; We have always been of the opinion that there were a few others outside the machine that had good braitis and would make suitable town officials. Bui possibly not. Thb Pemocrat Is beginning early Us tactics for having a citizen*’ ticket in the field nt the municipal election the coining spring.— Prett. It is no ielliug. The Democrat is for the plain people against the machine, From ojd files in this office it is learned the able editor of the Press was once for the People. But time has it many changes, and the editor ofthePrewis now found defending bigh salaries and high taxation, The Indiana supreme court on Friday decided that the present legislative apportionment of the slate is unconstitutional. 'Ihis will necessitate the ^districting of the state by the present legislature. A fair apportionment should be made and all at-li-flTpts at trickery and gerrymander should be frowned dowu. The people can be trusted. If legislators resort to scheming and unfair means she people will retire them to private life.

“The committee having in charge the redistricting ot the judicial circuits have succeeded in making a report. The change if made will put Knox and Pike counties in one circuit and would be known as the third district. There is quite an opposition, to this apportionment from the fact that there is considerable court-husi-Iie88 done in Knox county and the terms in this county would be rather short and besides would be a ycry inconvenient circuit. I?evolution, sudden an unexpected find yet bloodless overtook the IIa wniiau kingdom the other day, bv which the monarchy was overthrown and martial law proclaimed. Provisional government was established and order maintained. The quecu, Lilikalini, a mere figure head undertook to assume despotic power, made a new constitution and tried to enforce it, but the foreign element vigorously and successfully opposed. A commission is on the way to ask for union and protection. James Gillespie Blaine, the '‘plumed knight,” one of the ablest men that this couutrv ever knew is jto more. lie has passed to the great bevond full of the honors of a great people. As a statesman Ijlaine stood -Without a peer in this or any other - - ponntrv. lie was a power in the ranks of hi* partv, although lie never readied the ambition of his life—the presidency. Mr. Blaine has served as secretary of state under Garfield and under .Harrison, and for many vears was the honored senator from Maiu’c. At the time of his death he was livit* Washington. The funeral was private and took V®6® Monday. The survey, profiles and estimates made two.year. ago of the proposed Jiew Albany and Vincennes railroad, are being critically examined b.vthose interested in the building of this road and it is probable that the surrey will >>e adopted and the location of the roote made upon it. It ia expected that a meeting of the parties lias interested in the construction pf this road will be held in this city the latter part of February, when the organisation of the company will be completed and officers will be elected. The projectors of the road expect, if (he financial condition of the country undergoes no unfavorable change fraref the road completed within one year of the commencement of w'ork upon it, ft will prove a valuable local road to Mew Albany. The survey made connects with the Ohio & Mississippi road at Galt street in this citv. It also connects with the O. 4 M, at Yincennea.^-ilfaw Albany f.cdper.

Better Couutr; Road*. The !'•)! low lug paper wan read before the Pike county farmer’* ttisll— tule, recently held in this city, by Hon. M L^fleathman; The subject of “Better Country : Roads’’ ha* been talked of and writ* hen about sp^ much in the past tew veers that'll would seem that the whole people of the west anil northwest had been taking a Rip Vanwinkle snooze for the last fifty yetfrs and woke up sometime in February of March and found themselves stuck in a mud hole oil somfe of our highways The subject has been nearly exhausted consequently I shall lay no claims to originality in what I shall say upon the question but shall only endeavor to collect and condense some of the many factSilhat have already been stated bv others who have given it more thought. There is certainly no economical question which affects the masses as a whole that has been discussed so extensively by the press and the people in general as has this one of improved roads. This discussion has not been limited to any special class of journals either. The agricultural, the political, the literary and the religious papers have all thrown open their columns for the advancement of this cause. The same may be said ot individuals of the various advocations. The merchant, the mechanic and the business man seem to lie equally interested with the farmer.

All inis tneans that the people are studying this question. Education is the first step to be taken in any great movement. The people must be educated upon this subject before we cau hope for much improvement and until they are we are likely to have none. It may take time to do this but it must be doue and it is very gratifying to know that it is being done very rapidly. There is no factor that is doing more in this cause than the press—-that great disseminator of knowledge"on all subject*—and especially the local press. Another great power and possibly the one that will be the most effective one will be that of object lessons this winter. As sofin as this education cau be accomplished and the people can unite upon some plan looking to a better system of highway improvement and will demand of their legislators that it be enacted into law, it will be done. Of course it may take some time to arrange the details, but It can and will be done, provided, )urw>ever. that their demands are just. SOME FAULTS OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM. The past has demonstrated bevond any question that the present method of calling nut labor upon the roads is a failure and is wrong in principle. It is unjust and is growing in disrespect from year to year. It is injustice for tiiat class of persons who own uo property and who do not n«e the roads scarcely any to be required to put in as much time as those who arc property owners and are using -them continually and are thus benefitted by such use. This injustice is apparent to all. As a consequence that class of laborers if they come out upon the road at all try to put in the time as quickly as they can with as little labor as possible. This is not only a waste of time upon their part but it is an incentive to others tq avoid as much labor as they can. It results in a system of deadbeating or shirking, eacli one endeavoring to see who can get in the lime with the least, labor. 2nd. It is a waste of time and money because the work done is onlytemporary. They are hurried over once or twice a year usually repair^ ing only such places as are in the ■worst condition. This has been repeated eyer sioce we have had /this system and who will say that we have much better roads than we had fifteeJ or twenty years ago? It is questionable if they are any bet'er. 3rd The supervisor is incompetent. Under the supervisor system road-making and repairing is placed in charge of persons who either have no interest iu them or who iiave no practical knowledge of the subject. ’

They are not chosen because of any special fitness for one having such can scarcely ever be induced to take the position under the law as it now stands. It is more frequently someone who i3 in sympathy with that class of men who want to deadbeat in (be time or someone whose parly happens to be in the majority or who is needing the emoluments nr is tinable to do much manual labor. It is not claimed that this is the cape in every instance, but the condition of the highways of the state shows that it is in ajnajority of them. Of course this is not the case in Pike couuty. , 4th. It eosts too much for the benfits received : It is estimated that in Indiana that there is expended annually upon the public roads and highways in Igbor and money about $3,000,000. an average of about $32,000 to each county. Who dare say that a greater part of thia does not go into the chuck-holes? Mr. W. P.Garinichael, secretary of the Indiana society of civil engineers, in s paper read before the Indiana road congresa said that not more than thirty per cent of this vast amount ia profitably expended. Think if you please of seventy per cent of this sum about $2,100,000 being wasted annually upou our roads. The amount expended upon the roads each year if properly applied would build 750 miles of macadam roads or about 1500 miles of gravel roada, This sum in ten years would giye the stale 7,500 miles of macadam nr 15,000 miles of gravel roads, or to each .township 7 inilea of the former *" ' of the latter. watted expenditure of

jibe above sum the loss resulting ! from the inability to get products into the market at times when the I roads are bad and from the conse1 quern interruption of commerce and it will t>e an immense sum. BXTTKR SYSTEMS PROPOSED There have been a number of plana suggested’ for road-making and maintaining any oue of which seem to be an improvement over the present one. In the first place they should be kept up by taxation as other public properly is done. This is the only equitable method. Let the commissioners make a special levy for this purpose, and let the taxes be collected as other taxes to be k nown at a road fund. Then let them or someone else who may be vested w^rtf that authority appoint some person having some practical knowledge of scientific road-making, superintendent of highways tor the county whose duty it shall be to supervise the work or the letting of all work done. Or it might be advisable to have a superintendent in each township subordinate to the county superintendent.

It matters but little as to whom the appointing power is vested in the main eWnitial is to secure persous that are competent. They should not only see that the roads were properly constructed but should see that they were kept in good repair afterwards. There are only three permanent roads that are in general use now the Telford, macadam and the gravel either_of which make a valuable permanent road.'' The Tallord and macadam are the most durable while the gravel is least expensive. The cost of thefirst two is from $4,000 to $10,000 per mile while the gravel costs from $2,000 to $4,000 per mile. The cost of each depends upon the distance from material and the amount of work required upon the road-bed before the material is placed upon it. The Telford and macadam differ only in c instruction, both being made from crushed limestone. . The location of a road would naturally determine the material for its construction those lying accessible to gravel are made from that, and those that are accessible to limestone arc made from that. Whatever kind of road-making we ifiav adopt should be done with a view to permanency. They should not be built for five years nor for ten years but for a generation. Many of the roads that were built during the existence of the roman empire were made so perfect that they are in use now. Ncith er should it be expected that they can be built in a few years. England has been making permanent roads ever since 1835 and France which has the best roads of any country on the globe, probably longer than that. ADVANTAGES OF BETTER IIIGHWATS. It is no longer necessary to argue that good roads are important to a country, that they constitute aiu immense agency in the progress oAcivilization, or even that they have a\dlstinct and appreciable economic value. All of this is accorded by men oil intelligence. - I Some one has said that “The /oad is that physical sign or symbol by which you will understand any age or people. It they have no roads they are savages; for the road is the creation of man and the type of civilization.” You can tell as much about their intelligence and progress by looking at their roads as yon can by looking at their colleges and churches for if thpre is any motion in society the road which is the symbol of motion will indicate thesfact. Good country roads are of as much value to the countrylas good streets and pavements are to the towns and Cities, and who does rot know that the condition of its streets and pavements has a great deal to do with the growth and financial prosperity of the town besides the convenience and general appearance. ' Good roads increases the value of property along the Hue of them and especially real estate. It furnishes employment at a leisure lime of the year thus releiving the farmer of a great deal of tjie work that is done during the crop season.
