THE REST rs THE CHEAPEST.

Sioux Falls granite paving blocks
laid in sand are offered at two dollars
and twenty-seven cents per yard; cedar
blocks in sand and plank, will cost one
dollar and thirty-four and one-half
cents per yard. In other words for q
difference of ninety-two and one-half
cents per yard you can pave with Sioux
Falls granite in place of cedar block.
II the cedar block be laid on concrete
it will cost one dollar and sixty-one
cents per yard, or only sixty-six
cents less per yard than Sioux
Falls granite. Cedar block will
last from five to seven years, and tho
decay during the three last years
makes it worse than cobble stone. Sioux
Falls granite will never wear out. A
granite pavement may become uneven
tions, or it may after twenty or thirty
years of wear become too smooth, but
it can be made as good as new by merely
turning and resetting the blocks at q
trifling cost.
Would any sane man sign for wooden
paving and vote a perpetual tax upon
his own property and upon the city
also?
The only obje ction that can be urged
against granite pavement is that it is
noisy, but noise Is not Objectionable on
heavy-traffic thoroughfares. On level
streets that have little traffic the noise
is comparatively trifing. On the other
hand, if smooth and noiseless pavement
is deemed essential, sheet or block as
phaltum is the proper material. Block
asphaltum, which has not been tried in
this city, is an admirable material for
light-traffic streets. The blocks can be
reset just the same as stone, and when
worn down after number of years they
can be turned at least three times.
After that period they can be dressed
down again and reset. Sheet asphal.
tum with guaranty of ten or twenty
years maintenance would, of course,
be preferable to all other
| materials on streets that are lined
with costly residences. But that luxury
involves a heavier outlay than even the
Belgian block pavement,
In any event, the cedar block and all
other wooden paving ought to be dis.
carded in Omaha from now on. We
have had costly experience, like other
cities, and that should teach us that the
| best pavement is the cheapest in the
end

The Real Hero of the Revolution.

N6U sui.
Every nation must have Its heroes. But
not even to Washington can monarchy OF
heroism be given. TLtsero of the American
people must be the American people. The
true hero of the American revolution is the
American people of the time. 1t is known
too well what treachery, despondency, FAINT
ness of heart, and shutting of the purse
strings were found among them. But they,
and not the sword non the genius of any
man, won the fight. The real Washington
deserves all the honor which is given to the
fabulous and nebulous Washington, and
more. The great herp OF, the revolution was
the American people, the plain citizen of the

 4 San Francisco paper says as follows:
 Public Administrator Pennie applied to Judge Cofey yesterday for letters Of admin
 igtration on the estate of Caroline Carpenter.
 In his petition he stated that she left an es-
 tate of S75 ,OOO, and that the heirs, if there
 were any, were not residents of the State.
 Caroline Carpenter was in a certain cir
 cle one of the most celebrated persons in
 San Francisco. She was born ct New Ha-
 ven, Conn, about sixty.fve years ago, and was the daughter of colored father and white mother. Her maiden name was Coe, and for the first quarter of century of her life she lived in the Connecticut town. When a young girl she married George Carpenter, a mulatto like herself, and came West. She came to this city about thirty years since. Her husband died more than q decade ago and left her comfortable com petence, which she invested, and more than I trebled by judicious management. She never had any children, and since her husbands death lived very secluded life, seldom re- ceiving visitors. She was remarkable for one ! peculiarity, that of moving. She seldom ! lived more than one year in any one part of
 the city, and nearly always leased house
 Her last home was 2,23s Post street, where she lived practically alone, except when two of her nieces came from her native place to visit her. She was a devout Christian, and frequently contributed libera1ly to the sup port of her fayori.e church. The last years
 of her life were spent in acquiring knowl' | edge of the languages, and she spoke huentl5 I four or five of them.
 Shortly before her death the old lady an nounced her intention of making will. She | sent for an attorney, had him draw up g ! will, and told him she would read 1t over and | send for him when she WAS ready to sign 1t This was three years ago, and the unsigned will was found in her trunk on Thursdsy among other effects.
 Mrs. Carpenter died on Monday last, aftsl short illness. None of her relatives were present at her death. Two of her nieces were visiting in the southern part of the State and came up on Thursday to attend the funeral.
 Mrs. Carpenter seldom spoke of her early life, but in her will she mentioned several relatives living in the East, and among them George Coe, brother, who is prominent business man of New Haven.

 The Henney secret ballot bill died In the Senate this afternoon, all but one senator voting to sustain the veto of the governor. Senator Clark made a forcible speech against the bill, and was warmly congratulated at it's conclusion. He showed up the defects in glowing manner.
 Senator Graham then introduced com mon sense bill not as cumbersome, revolu" tionsry and impracticable as the vetoed bill. Senator Graham's bill provides that there shall be a uniform paper furnished by the State on which all parties shall print their ballots in exactly uniform time. It also pro- vides that no person shall be allowed within 100 feet of the polls except the officers in charge. This bill with one offered by Sen- ator Cleveland and others were referred to the committee on the judiciary. Lieutenant Governor Herwin during the 6iseussion said to the Senate that he desired to place himself in the right light on this matter. It had been charged that his paI- liamentary ruling yesterday had been aimed at the secret ballot bill because he was op- posed to it. He ruled as he did because the authorities and precedents compelled him to ! do so. As matter of fact he favored a secret ballot as a progressive step and be- cause he believed political promises should be kept.
 a.The Senate spent nearly half of second l day on the Phosnix Mutual Insurance com pany bill, and finally passed the resolution providing that the policy holders may buy the company at $250 share, by vote ot l9 1 to 2, Senators Graham, Gardiner and Reed being excused from voting on the ground | that they did not fully understand the ques- l tion. Senators Clark and Hall explained their favorable vote on the ground that they accepted the assurance of Senator Coffin that this was the best thing for the policy hold CTS.
 Both houses passed the bill making all the bridges over the Housatontic river free. New Haven and Fairfield county will now have to maintain them, which will wipe out our sur plus and nscessitate the laying of county tax quite soon.
 The bill providing for the election of State officers by 8 plurality was defeated in the House IA to 80.
 Governor Bulkelsv sent in veto on the bill making e criminal court of common pleas in Fairfield county, of which Secretary of State Walsh was to be judge.
 The House spent the afternoon on the bill allowing an extension of time to complete the Olmstead Parallel, adversely reported by the committee.
