Ours is not the only country that
has been cursed with bad roads.
Until the beginning of the present
century, England was not much bet
ter off. For several centuries prior
to that time, her roads like ours,
had been maintained by each parish
with it's free labor; and, as with US.
turnpike trusts and toll roads did
not materially improve the situation.
During the 18th century expert
ments were made but without much
benefit. With the opening Of this,
however, the general government
adopted central plan of road con-
struction according to the principles
of Ledyard and McAdam, which has
resulted in systematic network of
thoroughfares, at once the pride OF
her people and the wonder of trav-
elers.
We take it, therefore, that the
construction and repair of our roads
upon some general plan and upon
correct methods of road building, il
the true solution of this vexed prob
lem. To do this requires skill and
experience, and also correct knowl-
edge of the value and use of mater
ials The mere "piking" of existing
roads would for many reasons, be
unwise. While considerable expert
information is involved in making
the bed of a road itself, still greater
is needed in the more important
tasks, of making the grades allow
| ing for drainage and preventing un-
necessary crookedness. These latter
requisites are not observed in oul
roads, and to pike them no matter
how well done, will never make a
really good road system. Further
more, regard should be had for the
needs of our own people, and the
quantity of travel. And since VIC
hope to maintain our connection
with the outside world, and derived
from it as much benefit as we can
the central points of adjacent coun.
ties, and our present excellent turn.
pixies should also be observed.
A competent supervision, with
power to lay out roads and execute
orders is, in such an undertaking q
necessity.
However, legislation is needed to
secure system Of this kind; the
more general, in opposition to local
we can make the legislation, the
greater will be the good accomplish
ed. In this respect the late messages
of Governors Beaver and Ames on
the same subject, are especially val
liable. Whatever is done should
form the basis Of comprehensive
scheme, to which we can add from
year to year until all the roads arc
made good II fact the chief fault

this glorious Union, but they soon
will be. The empowering act has
become law, and the respective
Territories will soon complete the
details. They will send Representa-
tives to the Fifty-second Congress,
will furnish eight brand-new Sena-
tors on the 4th Of March, 1891, and
will add twelve Electoral votes to
the Presidential contest Of 1892.
This is great event, the taking
in of four new States in a lump. Let
us talk about them.
There is singular delusion per-
vading the people that it was neces-
sary to cut Dakota into two States
because Of the vastness Of her area.
And yet she is much smaller than
California and but little more than
half as large as Texas. Here are
the exact figures Of area in square
miles: Dakota, lao, 100; California,
15s, 800; Texas, 265,7SO. The last
Federal census--the only source Of
reliable information--gives the pop
ulation of the three as follows: Da-
kota, 135,177; California, 1854, 694;
Texas, 1,591,749 The total yalua-
ton Of both real and personal prop
erty in the three, by the same. re-
turns, is as follows: Dakota, $685.
100000; California, $1,430, 900, 900;
Texas, 1875, 200, 900. -
1t is true that there has been a
good deal Of immigration to Dakota
since this census was taken. She
got up q little census Of her own two
years ago for the express purpose Of
showing the country that she ought
to come into the Union as twins. 1t
is presumable that she put the fig
ure as high as possible, and her very
best effort reached up to 415,610.
Every one laughed. And still it was
not half the population Of Califor-
mia, and less than one-third that Of
Texas. But we have made two
States of her.
Washington Territory has an area
of SO, 100 square miles, and proper
ty valuation of $60,00O,00O. Her
population is estimated at 10000.
Her territory surrounds the magnifi-
cent estuary of Puget Sound; and,
through that, we could control the
trade Of the world with China and
Japan if we had not been so idiotic
as to let England take possession of
Vancouver Island and build her
Canadian Pacific road. This leaves
Washington Territory out in the
cold.
Montana is very handsome Ter
ritory, sloping slowly up the Rock
les, with an area of l46,080 square
miles, population of about 10000
and property valuation of some
$50, 100000. She has splendid pos
sibilities. Neither her mineral
wealth nor her agricultural resources
have been fairly opened. She is not
unlikely to have the greatest of the
four, save Washington.
Washington will be the greatest
State West of the Mississippi if we
can ever force Great Britain to let
loose her hold upon the throat Of
Puget Sound.-Cin. Enquirer.

A Plea For Woman.


As the subject of co-educatiop at
the University has Of late been dis
cussed by our great and wise legis-
lators we are moved to throw in our
mite. In introd ucing the subject
we shall first consider man and
woman in their various relations.
They are virtually regarded as two
distinct races, but the truth is they
are one in every particular. This
false idea which is part of the law
and religion Of all nations, evidently
had it's origin in the selfishness Of
man. Now, to get at the root of the
matter, let us go back to their crea-
tion, when the inspired writer de-
clares that they were both created
in the image of God. Then as God
is spirit that image must refer
solely to their minds and spirits and
that without any intimat:on of
superiority neither is there the least
difference in their animal nature.
Their passions, appetites and pro-
pensities are chemically the same.
Nor in the man do they differ in their
anatomy and ply siology, yet the
universal cry is that woman is the
weaker vessel. Granted that at pres
ent this is true, but it is necessarily
SOY Is it because she was SO created
or is it the result Of suffering six
thousand years from mans tyranny
and abuse. Were men imprisoned,
enslaved and defrauded, the coming
six thousand years, would they be
superior to the women of to-day?
No, ten thousand times no!
Now let those who deny woman $
equality either physically or mental
ly prove by the records Of the past
or present that woman with equal
advantages has as rule fallen below
man in any of the callings or pro-
fessions. 1t is admitted by educa-
tors that they equal if they do not
excel men, in law and medicine, in
fact in all the different sciences she
has proved herself equal to her broth
er. In reforms, social, moral and
religious she is always found in the
front ranks. In prohibition we have
Francis Willard, the commander-in-
chief of the hosts leading them on
to success and complete victory. In
literature we have that prince Of
authors Harriet Beecher Stowe,
George Elliot and an army of others
whom the world delights to honor.
In the missionary field both home
and foreign, in labor and success, she
has not fallen below her brother In
agriculture and husbandry she is
becoming wonder to many. As a
ruler to nations she has no superior,
as proof of this the advancement and
prosperity Of England under the rule
Of Queens Elizabeth and Victoria
have no parallel in her history. As
in the intellectual SO in the physical
her present weakness is the result Of
her present and past environment.
In proof Of this, outside Of the pale
of civilization, we do not find this in
trinity. Now in the face Of these
and hundreds of other facts can we
fail to see that woman is not simply
an automatic attachment to man but
a like and kindred spirit, with the
same almost unlimited powers Of
mind, with an.equally unbendingiwill
and with inferior powers Of endur-
ance, repaying gospel measure fol
all she receives.
In our next we shall consider the
social and moral side of the subject
as these seem to be the bone of con
tention. JUSTICE.

The Plumber Of the Capitol.

Our Washington correspondent
send lis statement which will in
terest many people, and for various
reasons. 1t has occurred to them to
ascertain the number of appointees
Of the Democratic administration in
Washington in the three great de-
partments-the Treasury, Interior
and Post Offlce-and the number of
sshold overs" as they are called
officials appointed by Republican
administrations and still in office.
The figures stand thus
Treasury-1,200 "hold overs"
with 81, 1855, 900 annual pay, and 440
democratic appointments, with $685.
$40 annual pay.
Interior-1,674 "hold OVERS" with
100000 annual pay, and 456 dem
ocratic appointments, with $550,000
annual pay.
Post Ofiice-44S "hold overs"
with $550,O0O annual salary, and LAB
democratic appointees, with $475,o 900
pay.
Republican ofIice-seekers will see
in these figures cause for despair,
because Mr.. Harrison can scarcely
lie asked to turn out republican Office
holders who have survived the Dem
ccratic food to make room for the
hungry who are already besieging
him.
Civil service reformers will see in
them cause to congratulate them
selves that they have had strength
enough with Mr.. Cleveland to keep
50 great proportion of republicans
in Office.
Democrats will wonder why, when
they came in on the cry Of republi-
can OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and corrup-
tion, SO large number of their OPP
poncnts in Office were found by Mr..
Cleveland to have all the requisites

In the Form fer March, which
begins the seventh volume, several
subjects are discussed oflarge polit-
ical and commercial Importance.
Prof j. G. Schurman, of Cornell
University, who is Canadian by
birth, describes the resources Of the
Canadian half of the continent, and
concludes that there is as great a
destiny for Canada as for the United
States; and he predicts that the Ca
nadians will never favor annexation,
because they do not need to burden
themselves with the problems Of the
United States, Of the South in par
ticular.
A contribution to the discussion
Of the Negro question is made by a
Negro writer, Prot. w. S. Scarbor-
ough, of Wilberforce University, who
takes hopeful view Of the future of
his race. Mr.. Edward Atkinson
makes a test of several reformatory
theories, such as cooperation, profit
sharing, prohibition, protection, free
trade and prohibition, by applying
them to small community, where
the practical workings ofeach theory
may be measured.
Among the religious and educa-
tiol al discussions is an unfavorable
review Of our public school system
BY Cardinal Manning. He sees the
destruction of religion and morality
in any system of compulsory State
education, and a severe loss of mo-
rality in any system of public in
struction. Kate Stephens writes a
record OF the advance of education
of woman during the last fifty
years, presenting statistics of all the
principal colleges for women and of
the admission ofwomen to equal pay
with men as teachers.

This Time It Is Truckee.

TRUcKEE. Cal, Aug. 13.-The most destructive fire that has occurred for years started from a defective flue in
 the house of c. B. Dullen this morn- ing. Heroic efforts were made by the citizens, but fierce wind was blowing
 and the inflammable nature of the
 building gave the flames full sway for
 several hours. Volunteers poured in from every side, and with the limited appliances at hand did good work though the flames spread from build
 ing to building as though the houses
 were made of kindling wood. The business portion of the city was saved through the efforts of the ire fighters and the direction in which the wind was blowing. Residences, churches and schools suffered in its stead. Thirty-four buildings were burned to
 the ground and the loss will probably foot up over s150,0o0 Among the
 buildings burned were the public school houses, two churches and the American hotel No railroad property was burned.
