DURHAM RECORDER. B. C. HACKNEY, ErtUor. Pro. WEDNESDAY Jan. 13, 1892? Good Country Roads aud Con vict. The need of improvement in the quality of good roads is bo severely felt in every section tbat every intelligent effort in that direction ought to be made. Thk Bbcobdeb has urged this matter for several years, and will continue to do so. The chief obstacle in the way of obtaining a good system of country roads has, of course, been the unwillingness to incur the necessary expense. If the people could have been con vinced years ago that bad roads were more costly than good ones, a large part of the task of securing an improvement in their quality would have been accomplished. The public highways should be worked by conviet labor; this is precisely what the peeple want in general, and when the people become thoroughly con vinced ta this matter good roads will multiply with un exampled rapidity Our legislators must 6tand by the people on this matter they will demand it; better methods of construction and repair are absolutely necessary; the woi k is a vast one, but it is indispen sable, and it can not be prose outed too diligently. That able and conservative journal, the Asheville Citizen, has the following to say on the subject, which we heartily endorse. It says: "The action of the last legislature of North Carolina in enacting a law whereby certain classes of violators of the law may be put to work upon the public highways of the coun ties in which their offenses were committed, is one step in the right direction. "There is no way in which the convicts of North Carolina could be utilized with greater benefit to all the people thnn by putting every man of them to work upon the public roads. In this way they will in no sense come into competition with hon est labor, a complaint often heard of late years, and with much reason and justice be cause it cannot be done with out degrading the largest and most aeservmg portion of our citizenship. "There is not an honest labor er ia North Carolina but detests the working of roads, and it is mere than the truth to say that nine out of ten who do work the roads do so under protest, and uerexore never ao and never will do full and fair work. "And this question of public rjads is really the most vita with which the American ogri culturalist has tp deal today. It has been demoastrated by those making a study of the question that the fanners of the United States lose more money every year by reason of bad roads thai they pay out in the way of taxes for all purposes. "With the convict force of the state kept constantly at work year by year upon the public highways, upon a fixed plan and in a systsmatic way, North Carolina farmers in a few years would realize that they were gaining innniteiy more than the cost, that of their maintenance. "The Citizen proposes to agi tate this question, and endeavor J make it a distinct issue in the lection of the next members of our state legislature, and see if it is not possible to inaugurate a system whereby North Carolina may eventually hope to have public roads that will be the pride of the state and the great est blessing that over came to the farmer. "And it is hoped that the press will lend their aid. To the press will be attributed this blessing if it over comes, and to the press wo look for the ag itation cf this question, which may mean more, and will mean more, in the long run, if prop erty undertaken and systematic ally prosecuted, than any meas ure which has engaged the at tention of our legislators du ring the past quarter of a cen tury." tf?ir; There is a grand display of civil service now going on in ennsylvania. The devotion of the Republican party and the Administration to it is exempli fied in a most beautiful manner. t is very well understood that Senator Quay opposes the .Ad ministration and tho result is, thjt the Superintendent of the Mint, the Collectors of the port and internal revenue officers and all the other officials have been instruced to go out in the high-ways and by-ways of hiladelphia and Pittsburg and capture the. primaries so that Harrison delegates may be sent to theState Convention. This is civil service with a ven geance. Thb Washington correspond ent of tho Baltimore Sun has obtained the views of a number of Senators relative to the idea which is advanced in some quarters particularly in the West of amending the Consti tution so as to elect Senators by the direct vote of the people, and finds that many of them re willing to the change, pro vided the same is demanded by the masses. Except in detach ed localities, however, there has been no movement ia the direction indicated. The ad vanced political thought of the country is more strongly de veloped at the West than in any ather section at this time, and if there is any real agitation on the subject that section will take the lead. Thb Republicans of Now York had a great time declar ing that they would not submit to what they called the stealing of the State Senate by Governor Hill. But when the time came tor them to be sworn in they quietly accepted the situation and went to work as they should have done in the dis charge of the duties which they were selected to perform. Of course tne democrats win re- district New York and, if the Census of 1890 is taken as basis, the majority in the New York General Assembly next year, upon the basis of the last vote, will be not less than for ty. That would mean tfie re tirement of the Hon. Frank Hiscock from the United States Senate and the replacing of him by a Democrat. Senator Hill will then have achieved the greatest political triumph hai by any political manager of late. lie has turned New York State solidly Democratic and will have it represented in the Un:ted States Senate by two Democrats and that for the first time in over thirty years. Secretary Blaine has had another attack of illness. There were four doctors in ten min utes after he was taken sick and they all reported that it was merely a case of acute in digestion. It is a little curious that four distinguished doctors should be called in because the distinguished Secretary hap pened to have a pain in the stomach. There is a belief about Washington that there was a great deal more to it than indi gestion. Ix the House there has been action upon but one subject an that was to defeat the proposa which passed the Senate author izingtho Secretary of the Navy to expend f 100,000 or leas to transport the food donated to the people of Russia. The Sen . . ... t i . . . . mvm aHu mis uui W9 JiOUSe would not as it did not know where tho Constitution author ized tho expenditure t-f such money. Mb. Robert P. Porter failed to get the immediate parage of nis million dollar deficiency bill and, if the Houko will in ply investigate tho method in which Mr. Porter has expended over six million dollars already, mey win let the Census" remain unfinished before they will trust him with the expenditure of any more money. mm Pender and Caswell counties hare fallen in th wake of .Mecklenburg a A Vance and refused to irrant liquor license. The JlcKinley tariff does not appear to have benefited a num ber of Connecticut workmen ui protected industries in that State, as their wages in several manufacturing establishments have recently been reduced the ; reduction in some cases amounting to twenty per cent. Ix tho House proceedings, and among the bills introduced Monday, was J,he following: "By Mr. Bunn ef North Caro- lnaJror a public buudinjr at Durham, N. C." We hope tho committee to which it was refered will not pass it over lightly. This matter deserves serious and favorable consideration. Dur ham is paying tho government revenue, from the sale of reve nue stamps alone, the amount of $616,129,85 a year. The stamps are handled with groat inconvenience and the govern ment should certaiuly provide a suitable building for this busi ness and the largely increasing post office business here. The northern part of Ireland is wrapped in an impassable snow storm. Clergymen were unable to reach their churches Sunday. At Tyrone a funeral procession became lost in , the storm, and after many fruitless attempts on the part ot those taking part in it to find out their way, the horses became exhausted, and it was found necessary to abandon the hearse in a snow drift. Secretary Blaine spent sev- eral houis in conference with the President yesterd iy, in re gard to the Chilian affair. The press dispatches say it is under stood that tho President is mak ing a careful and thorough stu dy of the entire correspondence with a view to the preparation of a message to Congress on that subject. The 105th annual comrnmuni- cationofthe Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina meets in Raleigh this evening. Tho usual transportation rates have Lean secured over the railroads. They had a Republican love feast in Ohio after John Sher man was elected to tho Senate.

It directs the '.President to invite government of countries comprising the Latin Uni n (so-called), and of such other mili um in ho may deem advisable, to join the United States in a conference, and to adopt a com mon ratio between gold and silver for the purpose of entablmhing inter nationally the use of bimetallic money and of securing fixity of rel ative yalui between thoso metals. A conference w to be held at such plaoias may be mutually agreed upon by the executives of the various governments. Y henever these gov ernments, or any three of them, shall have agreed to unito upon and whenuver in the judgment of the Pnuident a sufficient number of na tions shall have entered into such in ternational agreement, the President is to d't-lare a ratio in tho United Whites and nil coinage , thereafter is to be ut such ratio until eh uiged by law.
