ASPHALT PAYMENTS.
Pittsburg DISPATCH.

Pi.tsburg Dispatch.
A rather interesting and important dis
cussiOn as to the valuesOf different paving
materials has arisen in the east, with the
result OF making very good showing for
the asphalt pavement General Meigs, of
Washington, has written letter stating
the present cost of asphalt pavement at
$1.S5 per square yard, and granite block
at 81 70. The cost of repairs in that city
averages 1-2 to 1-2 cents pei square an
nually on the asphalt pavement, which,
considering the superior cleanliness,
smoothness, saving of wear. and tear On
vehicles, and freedom from noise, makes,
it is claimed, the asphalt pavement the
most economical in the end In addition
to this the idea that asphalt will not stand
heavy traffic is combatted by Mr.. Fernie, a
London civil engineer, who says that
Cheapside, which is conceded to have the
heaviest traffic Of any street in the old
world, has now been paved with asphalt
for ten years and during that time has
never been closed a day for repairs. 1t has
been, he aifirms, the experience of London
and Paris that asphalt will stand more
wear than either granite or iron

RIVAL CITIES.

The fact is, Hutchinson is getting to be
very dangerous rival of Wichita. -Topeka
/ Commonwealth.
Yes, the prairies are full of rivals OF
Wichita, Notwithstanding which fact if
Topeka can get rates over the Santa Fe
Wichita will supply the capital city with
every line of goods demanded in that city
at lower prices than her merchants are
paying today As the Commonwealth no
doubt appreciates the rivals of Wichita we
will say right now that as soon as the
Chicago and Rock Island is completed
from Topeka to this point we will agree to
supply the Commonwealth with white paper
delivered at Topeka seven per cent cheaper
than il is now paying. If, however,
Hut Crimson is the rival of Wichita that the
Commonwealth seems to think, Hutchinson
dealers may be able to make better figures
than the ones offered by us.

do not build up stable communities and
thriving cities. Kansas offers abundant
proof on this point,

SOME QUEER STATEMENTS.

In an interview recently published in the
Boston Globe, the authenticity of which is
not questioned, Neal Dow SAYS:
Our quarrel with the Republican party
does not all grow out of what it has done
or is supposed to have done for prohibition
in the past but it originates entirely in
what it does and refuses to do now For
the last twenty-five years no progress what
ever has been made in the eXlinguishing of
the liquor traffic in Maine The volume
of it now in the state is as large as it was
then. This arises partly from the fact that
the Republican party officials ignore the
law, and more from the fact that the law
in some respect is defective so
that without substantial amend
of the traffic is impossible. Republican
officials continue now, as they have done
in the past to ignore the law, and the Re
publican legislatures have uniformity per
sisted in refusing any effective legislation
to accomplish the work which it is the sole
purpose of the law to do; that is, to sup
press the liquor traffic.
We have here Mr.. BOWS positive asser-
ton that there has been no progress what
ever in the work of eXtinguishing the liquor
tTaiil III NdiHe toI u quarter VI century,
and Republican officials continue, las they
have done in the past, to ignore the law
Now, let us see what Mr.. Dow said on
this subject ten months ago, to-wit, on the
9th of November. 1885. Here it is:
The Main law is as we'll executed as any
other of our statutes, and its effect for good
upon our moral and material interests is so
great that it cannot be measured by any
mode of computation now known to us
If Mr.. Dow spoke the truth ten months
ago he is not doing so now, and vice versa.
for the two statements are most emphati-
cally contradictory But this is not all the
testimony that has been introduced in the
case of Dow VS. Dow. No longer ago than
the month of last June Mr. Dow wrote to
the English Temperance Alliance
The Maine law. administered by the Re
publican party. has driven every distillery
and brewery from the state, has stopped
nineteeEtwentieihs of the liquor traffic.
and has added $40, o00, 600 annually to the
wealth of the state

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC TO BE EXTEND
ED TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

From tie Chicago Tribune.
1t is learned from reliable authority that
Jay Gould has virtually decided upon the
construction of an extension of the Mis-
souri, Pacific from Wichita to the Rocky
mountains and Denver. Surveyors are
said to be now in the field locating the new
line The terminus has not yet been de-
cided upon, but will either be Pueblo or
some point further south on the Canadian
river and at either one or the other point
connection is to be made with the Denver
and New Orleans railroad, The latter road
is now constructed and in operat on be-
tween Denver and Pueblo, and surveys
have been made for extending it south from
Pueblo to the Canadian river. Mr. Gould,
it is claimed, now owns about $500, 900 in
the Denver and New Orleans and is nego-
tating for controlling interest in that
road This movement on the part of Mr.
Gould is said to be due to the construction
by the Rock Island of new line from ST.
Joseph, Mo, southwest to Wichita, going
through some Of the most important terri
tory now covered by the Missouri Pacific's
Kansas system. 1t is understood that the
Rock Island contemplates the extension of
its new southwestern line as soon rs it
reaches Wichita and it is said to be Mr.
Gould's intention TO head off the Rock
Island and reach. the Rocky mountains
first. The construction of the new extern
sion of the Missouri Pacific is to be com
menceG in a few weeks, and preparations
are said to have been made to lay about
three miles of track each day.

TIE NEW noNp cAnLs.

Acting Secretary Fairchild yesterday
made two financial announcements.
One was the extension without limit
as to time or amount of his proposition
TO redeem all the three per cent. bonds
that are offered, and the other was of
fifteen million dollar call to mature
in the middle Of October
The extension of the previous notice
TO redeem such bonds as are surren-
dered Is an evidence of satisfaction
rather than disappointment in the pre-.
vious experiments. The arguments in
favor of the extension are the same as
tor the original proposition, with the
added fact that tho money market can.
not fail to be relieved and regulated by
this standing offer of the Treasury to
pay out the value of all the three per
cent. bonds whenever the bondholders
care to accept the money. The wis.
dom of this notice is quite apparent;
MS line of policy ii seems entirely free
from objection.
The fifteen million call affords an
other indication of consistent policy
of rapid debt reduction. from which 1t
is perfectly safe to infer that all the
three per cent. bonds will have been re-
deemed within year from the present
time.
During the first fiscal year of the
present Administration $4,000, 900 OF
bonds were redeemed. Although the
second fiscal year is not yet quite three
months old more than that amount
has already been redeemed or called
within this period. Deducting
the amount of yesterdays call,
there remain to be called only
about SOO,OOO,O0O less than the
amount called since the present Admin
istration came into power. When this
