" At tlio vet season advances and oar
JiuWic highways become less praetica
Ittc as arteries of commerce or social
intercourse, tho painful fact is each
day more forcibly impressed upon us
that less talk and theory and more
horse sense and "elbow-greiwse" Bhonld
be expended upon our county roads.
Conflioling opinions prevail hi to the
. fowl, cheapest,' and roost substantial
ilan of improving roads, but a fair and
unbiased verdict cannot be other than
favorable lo a plan which, though a
little more expeusive, rill insure the
most substantial,, and consequently
f ho most satisfactory results.
This county has abundant resources
in the way of wood and stone where,
with to improve roads, and both have
been used to some extent for that pur
pose with good restilts iu both cases,
but afier careful observation of the re
mits obtained, we are convinced that
macadam is by far the most serviceable
of ilie two, though it is undoubtedly
the most expensive.
Accepting the macadam or crushed
rocs: proposition as the best, the next
problem is the least expensive means
of getting the roclc, and. in this con
nection the attention of the county
court is called to the proposition of
Messrs. Burko Chapman, who of
ered to sell the county their crasher,
which they are operating just north
of town, for $.0J and deliver it to any
pari of the county. The machiuery it
comparatively new and in perfect,
working order. It consists of a port
aible engine and boiler, and a crusher
that will crush sufficient rock in ten
hours to macadamize several hundred
feet of road. This is certainly a splen
did offer and one that should receive
the favorable consideration of . tbe
county court. This county ia at an
annual expense of about f 1500 for road
work without any visible improvement
in the roads except, possibly, during
the dry- sebson, when nature does
more to pat the roads iu a passable
condition than all the fruitless, labor
which is expended upon them. ' The
threadbare, absolele system of patch
ing up a few chuckholes in the roads
every spring, with the material sup
plied by nature, only to have the mud
gel deeper and the roads more impass
able each succeeding winter, bas be
come very monotonous and tiresome.
The lime has arrived when a change
must be made regardless of expense.
The county yearly pays out enough
money for practically useless labor to
bny two or three stone-crnsbers and
operate them several months, and
whej once their woik is done it will
be substantial and luitiug'and there
fore the most economical. There is
no longer any use trying to disguise
the fact that the present system of
working roads is a dismal failure.
Itlany years of failure has demon
strated it, and the sooner we adopt
Home other system the sooner we will
have taken a long stride iu the direc
tion of convenience aud prosperity.
As ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, and county commis
sioners and road supervisors should
see to it that laws for tbe suppression
of weed peals are executed. The Phil
adelphia Ledger says that appeals have
racenlly been, coming into the depart
ment of agriculture from farmers in
the northwest lor aid to exterminate
the Russian thistle. The pest, which,
by the way. is not really a thistle, but
an annual nearly allied to the suit
worts, was introduced into Scotland.
8. P., years ago, in some flaxseed im
ported from Kunoia. It took kindly
to the soil, and no effort being made
to eiadicate it, speedily overran South
Dakota; establiahing itself by 1891
over a territory of more than 30,000
square miles, and now it has invaded
oilier states, and if steps or not speed
ily taken it bids fair lo establish itself
over the whole country from Canada
. to the Gulf of Mexico. Last year the
damage to crops from this new pest
was over $2,000,000, and this year it is
estimated that it will be more than
double that amount. In Columbia
county tli i a thislle obtain to no small
decree, especially in the western part,
where it is becoming a great nuisance
and is proving very detiimonlal to
agricultural pursuits. Tbe seeds,
which in the dry season exist in in
numerable millione.a re carried for mile
by tlio wind, and in another quarter.
it tbe pest inaugurated. If there can be
any way devised to eradicate this fast
becoming nuisance there should be no
time lost in itaexettillon.
A "ssap" for making money easily
now a days is to contract, on a per
cent, with a county court, to get lip
"present ownership map" am! collect
troni-lhe county for unassessed lands,
nays the Independence West Side.
When the maps arc finished they nre
nil Greek, as far aa the court is con
cerned , and the coutity pays a big bill
am) gets no great value in return.
Over in Washington that "snap" was
played out ten years ago. Over there
they elect business men for county
commissioners, and pay the assessor a
decent salary, and as a consequence
sneh "fake" methods cannot be woi ktxl
Lake county has agreed to pay cigh
teen per cent.
THK peoples' party t;as orcanized
an alliance at Suit creek, Tolk county.
They will have an opportunity next
June lo entertain the entire party of
tbe state including sickly delegation
front Columbia coutity.
Columbia county must have better
roads before it can enjoy the full ineaa
lire; of prosperity to which it is justly
entitled. Giv aa planked roads or
macadam roaJs, anything, but give us
better roads.
FROM WASHINGTON.
f ' ''''
Our Correspondent Tells Us What
'. is Going on at tbe Capital.
; Washington, December 15, 1S93.
Battled in his extraordinary and on
American Hawaiian policy aud humil
iated iu the eyes of his owu country
men as well as of the entire world.
Such is today the eneviable position
uf the would-be American dictator,
Grover Cleveland. Even the most
pronounced opponent of the adminis
tration can afford to feel a little sym
pathy for Mr. Cleveland, who is, after
ali, the president of the Uniteil States.
If members of congress would vote as
they think, regardless of political ties.
tli impeachment of Jlr. Cleveland
would be as certain as the coming of
Christmas, and. as il is, it is probable
that only his shrewdness in making
the unconstitutional portions of his
instructions to Paramount Blount and
Minister Willis verbal instead of writ
ten is all that will save him from that
fate. There is no reasonable gmund
for doubt thai in those verba) iostruc
lions he was guilty of an impeachable
crime, which the written instructions
do not entirely corroborate. It should
be a terrible warning, even to a man
as bull-headed as the president has
shown himself to be.
Senator Morrill is the oldest man in
congress, and his physical condition is
somewhat feeble, bul he proved by.an
able tariff speech, contrasting the Eng
lish policy of tree traue as outlined in
Mr. Cleveland's message with the
American policy of protection, which
lias made the United Slates the most
prosperous country on earth and given
our workingmen an opportunity to
rise, thai is boI given to wage-earners
of other countries, that there is uo fall
ing off in the menial vigor that has for
thirty years made him prominent
figure in congress. He treated the
matter from an American, not a par
tisan, point of view, and was conserva
tive in his language, as he always is.
The democratic scheme for the ad
mission of only such territories as are
likely to go democratic was fully un
covered by the tactics used to railroad
the bill, providing for the admission of
Utah, through tbe bouse. The scheme
will be checkmated in the senate,
where the bill will be amended to make
it include Oklahoma, and then the
issue will be squarely made to admit
both or admit neither.
' Exclusivenegs seems to be getting
contagiums under this administration,
and somebody at the capitol appears
to be desirous of making that building
even more exclusive, than the white
house has been made. First, orders
were issued shutting the public nut of
the senate chamber entirely ; it has
always been a favorite custom with vis
itors to tbe capital to stroll through
the senate chamber, which has always
been open to them until fifteen min
utes before the time for . opening the
daily sessions, until this order went
into effect. Next, the public, with the
exception of the newspaper man. was
prohibited the use of the elevator from
the casement to the senate galleries.
To the credit of the newspaper men,
this exception has not lessened their
criticism of this sudden exclusiveness.
But the most unsatisfactory rule of all
is that which closed all of the entrances
to the capitol, excepting one through
the senate basement and another
through the house basement, every
day at 4: 30 o'clock p. m. No matter
in what part of tho building you were
or wished to go after that lime you had
lo use one or the other of ihse two
doors, which are about an eighth of a
mile apart. This rule proved so ob
jectionable that it has already been
rescinded.
Democratic distinction over the tar
fT bill is increasing instead of de
creasing. The bill which was, accord
ing to the original programme, to have
been passed before the Christmas ad
journment, has not been reported to
the house, and Mr. Cleveland's man,
Wilson, Iihb become so utterly demor
alized that he u i lunger mikes prom-

ises as to when it will be reported. The
democrats on the committee on ways
and moans have made numorons
changes in the bill in the interest of
industries that happened to have a
strong democratic "pull,' notably the
brewers, and the end is not jet. . The
democrats opposed to various sections
it the bill have interceded in their ef
forts to have the bill submitted lo a
deniocrntiu caucus, nouviihstandinit
the efforts of Mr. Cleveland and the
administration democrats, to defnst
iheru.- The holdiiiit of the caucus is
now rertuiit, bui it rids with Repre
sentative llnlman, of Indiana, chair
man of the democrntiu caucus, to av
when it shall be held, ami the admin
istration men are tryin to get him to
ilefer callint! it until after Hie bill is
reported lo the house, believing that
i he changes will then be fewer. Re
publican are patiently waiting to see
what the democrats will do. When
lite democrats gel through tightinu
turning themselves the republicans
will opeu tire on thorn.
