THE PAVING QUESTION.


Now that election is over, the ques-
ton of paving Tenth street will again
come to the front. 1t cannot be set
tied any too soon, If the contracts
are let within ten days no work can be
done until spring. The quarries will
be kept busy all winter getting out the
stone and the grading and preparation
OF the bed for the blocks cannot be
begun until the frost is out of the
ground.
But for all this the Board Of Public
Works ought to let the contracts in
accordance with the petitions of the
property owners on Tenth street, the
expressed wishes of our citizens AMI
the mandate of the City Council.
There has already been too much de-
lay. There has also been some un.
derhand work which has aroused sus.
picions that members of the board
have private interests to forwarded by
postponing the letting of the contracts
with Sioux Falls granite. Trips to U.
p. headquarters have been too num-
erous on behalf Of certain par.
ties to escape attention and the
hard fight which is being made for an
inferior paving material gives good
grounds for the belief that a niger Is
concealed somewhere in the wood
pile.
When the idea of creating a board
of public works was first preached this
paper advanced as an objection the
possibility o%fijust such. a deadlock as
has since taken place. 1t suggested
that antagonism between the council
and the members of the board, cpnsti-
tuted as it is, was certain to result, and
that any two members could combine
to set at defiance the wishes of the
property wner whom it was their
duty to serve.
1t remains to be seen whether the
persistence of Messrs. Barker and
Wilson in their opposition to granite
pavements will require legal action to
compel them to perform their duties
according to law. OF one thing they
may be certain. Omaha is determined
to haye durable and substantial pave
ments. She will not be satisfied with
anything else. Her people are in no
mood for experimenting with materi-
ais which have proved to be a failure
elsewhere. The cost of paving our
streets will be loo heavy to permit any
such waste of money. Granite is the
only approved pavement for heavy
traffic. 1t has been tried in our larg-
est cities and not found wanting.
And We very much mistake the temper
of our people if they do not succeed
IN securing the kind of pavement that
they want.

ALTHOUGH the new congress will
not meet until a year from the coming
December, the scramble among demo-
cratic politicians for the speakership
has already begun. Among the can
didstes already mentioned are Randall
of Pennsylvania, Morrison of Illinois,
Blackburn aud Carlisle of Kentucky,
Tucker of Virginia, and Hurd and
Converse of Ohio. The objection
being urged against Sam Randall is
that he is not in favor of revenue
reform while the people of the United
States plainly are. This will be the
chief ground of opposition TO him on
the part of the southern members.
On the other hand complaints are
made of Mi. Hurd's too bold advo.
cacy of absolute free trade. A demo-
GRAFT holding middle ground between
the two, in other words a good strad-
dler on a question which is attracting
more and more attention will probably
be selected.

Crooks last report from the Depart
ment Of the Platte, regarding the CON
centration of troops at q small num-
Der of posts on Or rear the railroads,
and the building of permanent and
substantial barracks Of brick or stone
for the companies, which may DO sta
toned at these military centres. He
says: "The timo is now come for Q
radical change in the whole system of
piecemeal work in %quartering the
troops of the United States. For a
hundred years We have been sweeping
across the continent with q skirmish
line, building q post here and another
there, to be abandoned next year for
another line, and &C on. Now we r
across and have railroads everywhere,
so that the whole problem Is changed,
and l advise the honorable secretary
of war to go to congress with a plan
than will approximate permanency in
stead of, as heretofore, meeting
specific temporary wants by special
appropriations, often il the interest
of private parties"
He recommends that the following
posts in the department of the Platte
should be held permanently, and that
quarters should be erected of brick or
stone for the number of companies
mentioned: Fort Omaha, ton COM

thinks we will have for the whole
army an abundance of good quarters
which will endure for 30 years. L. will
be remembered that early last spring
plans and specifications were drawn
up under General Crooks direction
for the enlargement and improvement
OF Fort Omaha on the basis of a ten
company post, and an estimated ex.
penditure of oyer $l62, 600. It may

The Cost Of Living In France.

Roughly speaking the statement
Is based upon varied experience-ths
cost..of living in France is third higher
than IN England; probably more, only
IN remote country districts less. Take
Tor instance, a foremost necessity
OF existence in a country whe.t
winter IS long and severe namely, fuel
we all know the exorbitant price of fue
ID Paris, but we do not find in the prov
lnces at all the diminution in price thai
might be expected. Burgundy is 6
wooded country, and wood is the prin.
cpal fuel used, yet the csot of firing il
enormous. An English traveller was
lately at Autun, and complained to the
iandlady OF the hotel that the charge
OF three francs day for the small fire
was excessive: whereupon the hostess
explained that the actual cost to herself
OF live small logs of wood was l franc.
Now we could hardly credit such a state
ment, and referred the matter to coun.
Try gentleman living near, well able to
Judge. He assured us that the charge
was 10y no means exaggerated, and that
at Dllon i've small pieces of wood would
cost franc. One moderate fire. there.
tore, III the heart of Franc costs one hall
crown day, whereas even seaside land
ladies IN England give decent coal
fire for five shillings a week.
Why jams and iellies made of fruits
should be SO exorbitant in Brance seems
strange, considering that it is the coun-
try par excellence of fruits. Yet. ordi-
nary preserve costs more than double
Inc prlce We give here, for which reason
IL ngures on the dessert table as q lux
ury. True, the sugar costs more than
I'D England; but, on the other hand
frlllt Is cheaper. When we come to
MINOR necessaries we find them all con.
slderably higher in price. Haberdashery
Tor instance: why should ribbons. pins.
needles and tapes be SO absurdly dear in
France? Why should ladies be able 70
purchase fuffies of Breton lace at Hast.
lngs for one-third of the price demanded
over the water? And to come to the
merest trihes, why should a French
christmas card cost 5 pence-no whit
peter IN design and getting up than
the English card sold at penny? Why
should tine-scented soap cost double
the price IN France? House rent in
towns Is quite as dear as with us-in
certain large towns dearer-perhaps
IN isolated country places cheaper, but
IN no marked degree. Servants wages.
even in the provinces, are rising to the
rams and English standard, while the
cost OF manual labor is very high. In
Inc nelghborhood of Dion the pay of 6
day iaborer is francs day with wine
and this will give us some idea of the
cost OF Keeping up house and garden,
as gardening, carpentering, etc, have tc
be paid for at the same rate.

A Wonderful Thing Of Life.

In our boyhood we often heard of
hoop snake. one that, bringing its head
and tail together, rolled over and over
like wagon wheel It is said that this
snake did its execution with its tail, that
being pointed and like needle. We
never had the terror of seeing one of
them, but did, when about eight years
old, see a jointed snake. The joints
were about six inches long. When
alarmed the snake fell to pieces, the
head Joint darting off like an arrow to a
place of concealment. That was the last
snake of the kind viewers saw until quite
recently we saw a hoop-jointed snake.
We were walking leisurely Ia our field.
All of sudden we were startled out
Of ourself by something rolling by US,
which looked like the rim of a buggy
wheel without the spokes. When it
passed about ten steps beyond us, in
making an effort to turn, it accidentally
struck the end of a projecting rail.
This must have alarmed it, for all at
once it fell to pieces, and the head Joint
darted throu gh crack of the fence and
into the swamp as quickly as possible.
Remembering the jointed snake of our
boyhood, and that our grandfather had
told ms if we would watch we would see
the head return for the joints left, as
badly as we were scared we determined
to watch and wait the heads return.
Not unmindful that we had been told by
them of old time that the only protector
from hoop-snake was to get behind a
tree or stump on the opposite side from
the one it was coming, we took q posi-
ton behind an old stump and waited
developments.
It was not long before the head came
slowly and cautiously through the crack
of the fence, raised itself to an angle OF
| forty-fve degrees, looked in every direc-
| ton, and then commenced the work OF
rejoining its body and tail to its head.
This was soon done. It's Reinforcement
was to rear itself up perpendicularly, OF
in other words to stand on it's tail. As
the head went up we distinctly saw that
each joint possessed India rubber quail.
ties, for as it went up each joint became
extended until, when the perpendicular
position was attained, the head was en-
tirely out of sight. By mathematical
calculation we ascertained its head to be
little less than five miles high, when
it passed out of sight. Having taken
its bearings it gradually contracted tc
nine feet. It then made circular dart
for its tail and without more ado rolled
off rapidly in the direction of Atlanta.
