The mud has been deep and adhesive, but til,
frost is now out and the culvers have suffered less
than usual. The great need of our city streets and
avenues is gravel coarse gravel, and lots of it. The
shore gravel is not easily obtainablc and is eNpcn
sve. Mr.. }. f. Wilson, late street commissioner
says that in Bangor large quantities of gravel arc
hauled in the winter and left in piles at convenient
points for putting on the streets in the spring. u,
thought supply might he got in this way from the
gravel bed at Guneys, and says the gravel is bet
ter than that obtained on the shore. Coarse gravel
put on before the frost comes out would work into
the clay of which our roads are made and give {;
solid foundation. Perhaps stone crusher is what
we want. The Calais Times says:
Calais ought to invest in stone crusher The
one at Gardiner has given great satisfaction
though gravel is cheaper there than here. More
over, crushed stone makes far better roads than
gravel.

gre>s last week recommending the modification
of the present National Labor Bureau into &

htrate in disputes between laborers and en-,

shall be given except on voluntary application
of the diSputlng parties, or that its judgments
shall have any force except as a guide TO public
opinion. He would have it also ''inyestigatc
the cause, of all disputes as they occur, whetll-
er submitted for arbitration or not as Il fel-
ture of the compilation of labor statistics. The
message was referred TO the Labor Committee
with instructions to report on OF before May
-.
The Democratic members of the Labor Com
mittce DO not approve Of the message, and seem
to think the President should have consulted
them before writing it; but Senator Beck is en-
thu-iastic in it, praise. ''lIe says if he could
have his way, he would name Allen q. Thur

ling as labor commissioners and give them S10,-
900 a year. Such commission would command
the respect of all parties and would settle the
labor troubles If Mr.. Beck is right this COM
mission should be appointed without delay.
The present labor troubles are causing loss to

The Judgment of the court Of inquiry in re-

Cunard Company and all the officers of the
steamship except the first officer, Mr.. Mat
thews, who it is found was somewhat remiss
in his duties. He is not, however, to lose his
| certificate or even to be suspended. This de-
| cision is somewhat of surprise, and is severe
ly criticised by marine experts on both sides of
| the Atlantic. The New York Herald saws: /.
If the sliding doors to the bukheads of the
watcr-tight compartments had been in working
order the disaster could not have happened ..
The captain should have been at his post on the
| bridge and not in his bunk. 8. Had the Off
| GERS of the watch been alert and kept sharp
lookout they might have avoided the Inflated

Made an AstonishIng Change.

1t beats all what lot of little things
there are that might be done to improve
this terrestrial ball, and that are not done
simply because nobody happens to think of
them. Somebody in the elevated railroad
company's management has had a happy
iden in that direction. When the roads
were being built the makers OF the iron
work painted the piece, as they always do
large castings, the deepest shade of red
brown. These were put up as they came,
and that somber color forthwith became
the standard hue OF the elevated struc-
lures all over the city. Everything
about them, above and below. even TO the
cars, was daubed with this gloom. Now,
an elevated railroad is not at best an en-
tightening thing to have in the street,
and its gsyety Is the reverse Of enlivened
by its being painted the darkest color that
can be painted short Of black. Endless
complaint WAS made against the compa-
MES for cutting Off the lglt from the
streets, and in the suits for damages
started against them by the hundred this
was the most grievous allegation.
Still nobody thought that is might
make a difference if the structures were
painted u Light color. and for over ten
years the dark red masses Of iron have
stood through miles Of city streets, turn
ing them into veritable caves OF gloom
even OH the brightest days. A few weeks
ago. however. some rash innovator with
big head tried the experiment OF cover
ing little section of the roai with paint
of light gray. The change it made was
astonishing. 1t was daylight after ten
years of night. Once started, every body
wondered why in creation the the thing
hadn't been thought Of sooner, and steps
were promptly taken to extend the good
work. A mile or so of semi-midnight
cav,rnS have already been transformed
into lofty. light, iron-arched halls by this
simple magic Of the paint brush.
