Gray is doubtless entitled to mueh credit for his conception of the "three-roads" Idea end no one can rightly question his entire slnetrlty In adocaiIrg Its adoption. Will he now forfeit the good opinion of the large nun ber of taxpayers who agree with him in favoring the proposition, but dread the long and costly litigation which must ensue on the present pro ceedings, by procrastinating the final actim of the court in dismissing a seriK of petitions against which o much reasonable objection can be urged? Since the announcement of the legal advice upon which it was tacitly understood the court would base its proceedings, there has been a fctrong revolution of feeling against further action, among those even who iwive bevn the .strongest advocates of j tht proposed plan of improvements. I The people are in no humor to stand j an additional burdens of taxation which Involve the slightest doubt of j public benefit. Let every advantage I claimed for the construction of the toads be conceded and yet to attempt to go on against the advice and con viction of some of the ablest lawyers in the community will necessarily tn vite litigation that must cost hundreds of dollars of costs and other expenses in return for which thvre can be no possible public benefit. The three roads or any other comprehensive scheme of road Improvements can surely wait another year within which time, as Mr. Fulton has sensibly sug gested, all doubts as to the regularity of the proceedings can be settled by submitting the question to a vote at the coining election. There is reason to 'hope, too, that within a year the outlook for the county will be so al tered for the better that little 1t any objection will be made to the Improve ment or construction of as many roads as the siiuation may Justify.

The growth of cur export trade in manufactured articles is o remarkable as to deserve further comment. The lucre ise in our exportatlons of manu factured articles Is steady and not in termittent, and would seem to promise within a decade a total so large as to have seemed impossible a few years ago. The Importations of raw materials for manufacturing purposes in 1S9S was S3 per cent., and at the same time the ex portation, of manufactured goods showed a gain of 25 per cent. The total ahie of our exports for last year ag gregated three hundred and eighty mil- lion dollars, giving promise of a total for the fiscal year ending June 30 next of four hundred millions, or far larger than heretofore recorded in our history. In the calendar year 1SS our exporta tion or manufactures averaged twenty-live million dolars each month, while last year the average was thirty-one nililWiii, a month, or more than a mil linn dollars a day. Commencing with January last the value of our exports I was iiT,?0G.STf, and the figures steadily j Increased until for December last they reached $33,002,053. December and March, 1399, each showed the largest i exportatlons of manufactuied articles ' that had been recorded. The exporta-1 tions of manufactures for ISM were not only the largest of any calendar year, but formed a larger percentage of our . total exports than in any preceding j ar. The percentage for 1&97 was 25.9 forlsf'i 2.9, and for 2899 30.4. ! L-X ! The important feature of Henry ! Wattti son's denunciation of the Taylor government in Kentucky is his omis- si jii to express any opinion as to who was elected governor at the last elec tion. That is the point upon which the country is most Interested, and not in the 'purity ' of Goebel's life, except his a t in procuring the adoption of (sic) his ..deetion law. It will strike most people that the lime when Mr. Wtlr. I son's voice should have been heard against the anarchy or state of revolu tion with which his state is threat- en-d was when CJetH was preparing I puiuiB , to put the machinery of his infamous ; election law 'the creation of which Mr. i , Watlerson admits to have been a Main ( upon his character) into operation to j f ter.l the state administration from the men who had t-etn legally dttignated t by a larg majority of the voters of 1 Kentucky to take charge of It In oppo-! fltion to Mr. Cocbel. This is when anor- 1 t chy began in Kentucky, and It will be the responsible cause of the revolution, 1 if the situation in Kentucky should ! unhappily r that extreme. j GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS WANTED.
