T KMSAY ABOUT THK nOAD LAW,
J The subject for discussion at this meet-
iVig was the proposed new read law and It
Waa opened by W. H. H. Klnzer, of East
arl. He began by saying that farmers
, 'want' better reads without tee much tax.
JHe referred te the following points sub
BalMed by Mr. Cooper te the Stale Beard of
Agriculture. These point are :
1. Privilege of working out read taxes te
be repealed.
2. Supervisors te employ labor where
best value can be obtained, preference te
be given home labor.
3. That all commodities of equal value
shall be taxed at the Batue rate as real
estate.
4. That some efficient head In each county
shall be appointed te prepare plans and
supervise the work of read building.
Tbese points wero approved by the State
Beard of Agriculture, and will without
doubt be accepted by the read commission
ers, and be embodied in the new law.
As te the first point all will agree that the
abuse of this privllege has given us peer
labor, peer reads and increased taxation.
Jt sounds much like working out an old
debt, and is worked in about the same way
by doing or giving as little as posslble te
accomplish the result.
The second point is based en the result of
the repeal of the privilege of working out
xead taxes and unties the hands of super
visors and allows tbem te de what the old
law did net encourage, viz: Te employ
the labor where the most and best work
can be had for tiie wages pa!d.;Thls la noth
ing' mere than employing labor en strlet
business principles, which method Is
adopted by all successful business Arms
or corporations. It further provides that
hmne labor shall'liave preference ; while it
requires home labor te de a dollar's worth
of work for one dollar en the read, as for
cibly as it would be expected In ether em
ployments. It gives the supervisors power
te employ labor when the reads require
attention and gets rid of the old excuse that
they would make the read but cannot get
the farmers and laborers te work for tbem.
He urged au agitation of the subject new,
when the reads are at their worst, and te
urge our law makers te relieve the people
who are oppressed with unjust taxation, se
that we may have better reads without op
pressing the land owners with all thetaxea
te make them, and that we have a regular
order and aystem as In ether lines of
, public Improvement.
In conclusion he aald if the new law is
te be an improvement, give it a fair trial,
and If it is a failure repeal it and make a
' better one. Make the reed te suit the
teams, the needs of the travelling public
and the increasing trade, instead of making
the teams and trade te nM the reads. Re
duce your read-making te a system and a
uniformity of method as you have in your
common schools.
Equalize taxation and relieve the land
owners of their burdens of taxation by a
state appropriation for new reads and for
piking a percentage of the reads yearly,
and you will have done nearly as much to
wards moving the old Keystone state In
tbe line of progress.
DISCUSSION ON THK SUBJECT.
Mr. Hlller referred te tbe 40 or 00 miles
of read In hla township, which costs from
40 te S0 per mile for repair each year.
The Danville turnpike In the aame town
skip be understood cost 9100 per mile te
rspilr. He waa opposed te a change of the
read law" which would put additional bur
den en tbe ftrmers, and the farmers are
net asking for the repeal of the present
laws.
Cilvin Cooper would net make ilia new
law obligatory en any township. As"?
member of tbe State Beard of Agriculture
he would use bis influence te have stocks,
..bends and ether securities taxed (or read
purposes, and in that way lighten tbe bur
den of the farmers. As te tbe fourth point
ss te a head of tbe read department in each
district, it was net the intention that each
person should be a high priced empleye.
Only such persons should be appointed as
tbe court knew were Judicious business
men.
Jehnsen Miller admitted (bit (be nublle
reads of Lancaster county are le ba4 con.'
dltlen. one reason for which waa the
unusual wet season. Te pike or macula-'
jnlze Is tbe only remedy, but that plan Is
tot? expensive, considering the low price of
produ'?e With the 'amount eC money
annually apeut for reads there should be
better reads. He recommended tbe elec
tion of geed reliable men as supervisors
and that th leads should be msde early in
tbe spring, and the superiors should net
be engaged In any ether bucjOMs. A
revision of tbe read Uar Is necessary.

MsoMrnem en tbe suaiacr.
Mr. Miller offered thefollewlng rosolu resolu roselu
tlons en ths subject t
Whkbjus, The question of our public
reada and read lawa la snaaaina ths atten
tien of our whole people, both in ths city
ter reada, and the latter squally favoring
geed reada, bnt opposed te the Increased
taxation that would necessarily fellow
such nroDeaed legislation ter better reada t
and
Wberkas, The governor haa appointed
a commission te revise the present system
of read making, and frame a new read law
for the general publtc and for tbe people of
the whole state, te be presented te the next
Legislature, having In view the appoint
ment of a state organisatien, with county
superintendents, civil engineers and a gen
eral Idea of macadamising some of our
puuue reaas : inereiere de it
Resolved, That the Lancaster County
Agricultural and Horticultural society,
representing the interests of the farmers of
one of the arrset counties of this common
wealth, de hereby express our approval of
a aystem of making our publle reada upon
a mera Improved plan by which we may
gat and have better reada.
Jtetelvtd, That ws express the sentiment
of the farmers and taxpayers of Lancaster
county when we say that we are opposed
te any new read law which would create a
county superintendent or civil engineer
and a host of township officers, thus in
creasing our taxes and making unnecessary
expenditures of the people's money.
Itetelvtd, That wa would recommend te
the commission which Is te frame the new
read lawrthat It should be made with a
view te have one geed supervisor elected
by the people in each tewnahlp ; that there
should be no additional taxation te the
fkrmera who are already paying four-fifths
of all the taxes ; that If the public reads
are te be macadamised thai wa would
favor a state appropriation therefer, mak
ing money capital at interest pay its equal
portion or the read tax.
Jtesetved,- That we favor the three first
suggestions of the State Beard of Agricul
ture te ths read commission, namely, te
repeal all tbe old laws; te abolish the
working out of the read tax ; that super
visors employ ths bast and most skilled
labor, and that all money value aecuritiea
and capital pay the same rate of read tax
as real osiers.
Muelvtd, That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent te the read commissioners at
Harrlsburg, Pa,
A motion te adept the resolution waa
amended by Mr. Cooper, that the society
recommend the appointment of an efficient
person in each county who shall supervise
the construction of reads.
Mr. Breslus was opposed te taking the
direction of making the reads out of the
hands of the township supervisor.
Mr. Engle took tbe view, that a super
intendent la a necessity. There is no
Intention, as he understood tbe amend amend
tment, te take the control of read
making from the supervisors. With a
superintendent the work would be done
under proper directions. He referred te
the prejudice that existed when school su
perintendents were first appointed. It was
said then that the direction of the schools
would be taken from tbe directors of the
several districts In each county. The su
perintendent of schools did net interfere
with prerogatives of school directors, and
te-day you would net de without school
superintendents. Se It would be with su
perintendents of reada, after the system
was given a fair trial.
The 'amendment waa further discussed
by Messrs. Hoever and Hlller and de
feated. "
Mr. Hlller moved that the preamble be
stricken out and tbe motion waa adopted.
The resolutions as published above were
then adopted.
nESOLUTIONS OF RKSPECT.

tailing the retfltlonsef Quay aad Mr. and
Mrs. A. Wilsen Merris, which, U matter of

nutters of public concern, which is new te
us and which ws take entirely upon the
responsibility of ths World for its truth
aad accuracy.
, OnoAnemernlng dining Wilsen Xerrls'
Incumbency of the office of auditor gen
eral, a cab sped te the deer of a person In
Philadelphia with whom he waa en con
fidential terms. The vehicle contained ths
auditor general and one ether person. The
former quickly stepped eat ; his companion
remained within. rAa Nerrla ismiiiI nn
the conventional white marble deer-Steps
onaraeteristlo of ths Qnakar city, he in
voluntarily placed hla hand te hla breast
and mevsd his fingers sa if makln sura of
something concealed In te inside pocket
of his waistcoat. . Us rang the bell, waa ad
mitted, and In a few minutes waa closeted
with his friend. After a few preliminary
remarks ths auditor general exclaimed!
" I'm cursedly nervous I" snd then he re
moved a package from hla breast pocket.
De you see thlsT" he said. In a low voice.
"It represents hundreds of tbeusanda of
uouaraei atawranas. it is gotngte carry
Qnay through another deal. By , rdthlnk
hehad enough erfingeringtreasury money.
I'm afraid of a smash up."
Then the story was told hew Quay had
made a fresh raid en the public funds.
x nave iracea ims act or me paonyaer paenyaer paonyaer
mateuN statesman from the beginning te
the end, and It la net strange that Wilsen
Nerrls waa nervous or that he should say :
"If this affair turns out like the '79 busi
ness I'll skip te Canada."
Quay waa served when state treasurer
by William Llvaey, aa cashier of tbe treas
ury. When hia election Je the United
States Senate occurred he could no longer
act In the state offiee, and Llvaey, a pliant
follower of the boss, waa appointed te the
office of state treasurer. W. B. Hart suc
ceeded him and died. Then Llvaey was
reappointed, and Beyer, the newly elected
treasurer, does net step In bis place until
May next. During the period when Quay
waa ircmsurer no nau me power 10 use tnc
treasury funds very much aa he pleased,
providing that he looked out for the wel
fare or tbe boys" of the Inner circle.
In Philadelphia there la a little coterie of
sharp, able and sagacious men who consti
tute what la known aa the horse railway
syndicate. They control tramways In
cities. In order te fight their way
along, in common with ether corporation
managers, they have employed a lobby.
It may be said without any qualification
that ths Harrlsburg legislators de net
propose te allow the evanescent and fuga
cious dollar te roll past their pockets when
a simple act like the casting of a favorable
ballet will cause the coin te trundle inside.
On pest occasions the syndicate had occa
sion te call en Statesman Quay for the ex
ercise of his kind office In sheeting bills
along towards enactment and be had been
a useful and unscrupulous agent, as cer
tain sped He Instances, of which I have
the details, would demonstrate If I were te
make use of them here. When Quay was
In flnanelal trouble he would go te certaln
members of tbe syndicate for aid, and aa he
baa generally been in a condition of impe impe
cunieslty, bis calls have net been as infre
quent as might be imagined.
The Philadelphia ay ndlcate cast a num
bar or eyes en the railway property at tbe
Windy City known as the West Chicago
company, aud en ascertaining that tbe busi
ness chances were geed straightway ab
sorbed tbe plant by purchase Then bends
were Issued together with stock in the com
pany. The syndicate wasunderobllgatien
te tbe boss, and, when the acheme had at
tained the right stage, a certaln member of
tbe financial clique gave the Beaver states
man a chanee te pocket some profits. He
waa offered 1100,000 In bends of the West
Chicago railway and each bend carried a
share of tbe capital stock. Among the ob
servations plainly made te the eager states
man waa the excellent ad vice thathe should
net gamble away the profits of the trans
action, but that no should glve them te his
geed wife. Quay assented, for he would
nave agreed te auytblng that would put coin
In hla pocket, in order te agree en Ills part
of the transaction, it waa neeessary
te raise the sum of $400,000. Did be visit
banks and secure the meney ? Net a bit of
ill Why should he T Had net he the state
treasury at his finger-tint, ae te speak T Aa
coolly as if he bad never en a previous oc
casion speculated with and lest a large
amount of public money, with tbe conniv
ance of an official of tbe treasury, he sent
the required aum in atate funds down te
Philadelphia and it waa deposited in the
People's bank, located en Fourth and
Walnut streets, which was and is te-day
the depository of the herae railway syndi
cate. Tbe president, tbe notorious "Ad
dition, Division and Silence" W. II. Kern
ble, was. aa everybody knows, saved from
tbe penitentiary after be had pleaded guilty
in court prier te tbe conviction of Emfl
Petroff-by the Influence of Statesman Quay
ever the state pardoning beard. Quay al
lotted a portion of what be received te Wil Wil
eon Nerrls, and tbe official of the treasury
previously referred te get a share of tbe
prize.
Net a dollar of his own money did Quay
use. but he took the state meney, and by
that, which was no mere or less practically
than simple embezzlement, purchased
400,000 worth or West Chicago railway
bends, together with the accompanying
stock. He took tbe aame chances that he
boldly assumed wben lie ombarked In the
speculation of 1870. The fact illustrates
exactly the character of the man. He Is a
born gambler. Always ready te risk
everything be pessesses en the turn of a
card or the tumble of a set of dice, he ap
parently trusted bis luck and ran tbe rik
of the state prison unflinchingly. The
fkte which overtook htm waa different from
that which resulted from tbe provieua
defalcation, and tbe West Chicago scheme
proved successful. Tbe profits of the
transaction te Quay arose from the
sale of stock which practically cost lilin
nothing but that which by ether men
would ue counted as honor. Of course the
word is net te be wspd in connection wjt.h
the sets and deeds of the eminent states
man of Pennsylvania. He sold stock as
mgu as as, or be, anu, or course, msde a
ell
:i
le of money by tbe daring be displayed.
The bends were used
w uiuKe me aiaie
treasury geed and Den Cameren was net
again cauea m ai a suiciuai moment. Mart,
the new treasurer, knew all about tbe
deal, and it is understood that he had his
little piece of mutton.
It is impossible te conduct raids en tbe
state treasury without the knowledge pr a
number of persons, and they require sub
sidizing te keep them quiet. An experi
enced member of tbe Pennsylvania Legis
lature informed me that there have been
rnernbers of the Harrlsburg ring who
would c)en)nd 8,099 as tbe price of silence
and accept $SQ. ' ' ' '
Aye, and he named many of tbem, as I
will hereafter.
The fete of Wilsen Nerrls must be re
lated in order te bring te light a portion of
tbe subjeet of the story. Ills convivial
habits Increased during the anxiety be felt
ever his part in the deal. At one period
Quay also became nervous, and he and
Nerrls walked tbe room together and In
dulged in reflections en the steal of 1679,
wondering whether there would be a dis
astrous ending te the new en.terprWp,

New Yerk Tobacco Market.
Frem tbe U. S. Tobacco Journal.
Again a week has passed without any
considerable atir in our market. Business
is aragging along miner unsatisfactorily.
In spite of the pronounced failure or some
efthe new seed crops, the old stock does
net command a brisk market. Even for
filler and binder purposes it does net corns
up in price te Just expectations although a
higher price will certainly be realized later
en.
The transactions In Sumatra show up
about 300 bales for the week. Salea or Su
matra arejust at present very tough work.
Buyers take advantage of the reported
large stock en hand net only te screw tbe
prices down but te buy aa sparingly aa,
possible. But experience baa proved that
old Sumatra Is always In better demand
after the new has made Ite appearance
And buyera will very likely have te pay
this year again for pursuing a niggardly
policy.
Havana Is continuing te enjoy a brisk
demand. The sales for the week reached
1,200 bales. Heme leta of new Remedlea
were purchased ataa high a price as Hi
cents. Old Vueltaa command from (1.15
te 11.25.
Frem the Tobacco I-taf.
Tbe market presented no marked change
from tbe provieua week, and about the
same amount of tobaeno changed hands.
Tbere is considerable activity In the grow
ing aoctlens and in Pennsylvania the
worst crop raised In years is being pur
chased when It can be bought low eneugh.
This crop contains an Immense amount of
damaged goods.
