such care brings its own reward since

There is chief officer who has

the exact condition OF the roads. OF
course the work is divided into sec

furnished by contract and, consider
ing everything, the cost is surpris-
ingly small.
In lower Austria, where the ma

easily at hand, a few years ago the
government offered large rewards for

Dirt is removed at once and the
slightest defect repaired in order to
prevent the formation of ruts.
In Hungary the state roads are
under the ministry OF public works,
while the country thOroughfares are
maintained by the local governments.
All these governments understand,
what is indeed the truth, that good
road pays, and is even more impOr-
tant than the railway, for practically
the road trade exceeds rail by many
millions of tons. The railway and the
common road are, however, alike in
what goes to make good highway.
Now all improvements in the rail-

essential for good roadway. 1t

THERE is no doubt that an effort

tam. But If it undertakes to make a
military display it should do it in a
way that would reflect credit upon the
nation. Congress, therefore, ought
TO make an appropriation in accord
ance with the suggestion of General
Miles to pay for the transportation of
all the soldiers from their homes to
Chicago and return. If IL shall be
left to the States to provide for this
expense some may not be represented
at all. Besides, whatever the States
may be prepared to expend upon this
military exhibition should be devoted
to perfecting the National Guard and
training the soldiers to make credit
able appearance.

While In the northwestern portion
OF the United States, and throughout
all that section of America lying west
OF the Mississippi River, the fall Of
1891 was one OF unusually dry
weather, reports from the Spanish
peninsula tell OF destructive floods by
which whole villages and towns have
been destroyed, the crops ruined and
hundreds of lives lost.
The weather conditions in Europe,
says the Chicago Graphic, like those
of the United States since last
autumn, have been unusual. While
last winter on this side OF the Allan
tic was unusually mild, on the oppo-
site side OF the ocean IL was the re-
verse, and during the entire year the
reverse Of the weather in the United
States has almost uniformly prevail
ed in Europe.
Ccnsuegra, town OF 1900 popula-
tion, sixty miles from the capital of the
kingdom of Spain, WIS almost entirely
drowned by heavy rains lasting from
Sept. 13 to Is, and the overflow of
the mountain streams which run
through the valley in which it is To-
Gated. The storm extended over
nearly the entire peninsula and was
OF unexampled violence. America
has been supposed to be the home of
the cyclone of recent years, but the
storm in Spain outrivals the most
severe cyclones of Kansas and the
great Southwest.
The grape harvest was ripe and
ready for the gathering, as were also
the olive and other crops upon which
the Spanish peasant depends for his
livelihood. Millions OF dollars worth

roads their efficiency will depend al
most wholly on the care given them.
The two destroyers of such roads
are narrow wheel tires and water. If
q ditch could be made and the road
sloped on either side, in most cases
the road would be improved. AS to
the narrow tire, the wheel acts as a
roller on the road. Ii the tire be, say
IA inches, passing over a half dried
dirt road it will form ruts: If, how
ever, il should be 3 or inches il
would serve the purpose of keeping
the road smooth and ruts would not
be formed.
But how, it will be asked, can we
have roads and management equal to
that Of Europe? Simply by insisting
that roads shall be constructed and
repaired at the expense of the State
at large instead of by "A tax directed
against the farmer alone.
The Department OF State at Wash
ington has received from various for
eign countries most interesting re-
ports on the subject Of roads. In 1888
the report of the Department of Ag-
riculture contained, among other
things, this statement: while our
railway system has become the most
perfect in the world the common
roads of the United States have been
neglected and are inferior to those OF
any other civilized country in the
world"
These things are worth being con-
sidercd by all, and especially by the
farmer, in whose power the reform
really lies.

few Others would venture, and, lastly,
began TO bury the dead.
One officer in the army, who had
gone to Consuega on sick leave, is
said to have saved no less than sew
enty lives, though wounded three
times in the attempt; at last he near
ly tainted. Poor fellow. with much
difficulty he had saved up 1000 pese-
tas (el60) during his career. All this
was, with his belongings, in a box
which was swept away by the flood.
A poor shepherd in the nelghborhood
rescued twenty-three people.
A man servant was shut up by the
waters In house with twelve other
persons. He bravely swan out, and
made a raft, saving the rest. After
this he went elsewhere, and rescued
three children. Wearied out, he would
fam have rested, but man on roof
near, which was expected every mo-
ment to fall, implored his aid. At
the risk Of his life, he swan out and
brought him safely back. Many other
heroic acts were performed.

Of laden vines and fruit trees were
totally destroyed, and cattle and
granaries were swept away. In Con-

drowned, and their decaying car
cases, lodged among the debris of the
houses, are menace to the lives OF
the survivors, who, aided by large
corps of engineers and soldiers, are

Many OF the interior provinces were
cut off from the rest of the world,
being entirely surrounded by water,
bridges over the streams having been
swept away.
The local stock of food in those prov
inces was almost entirely exhausted,
and the sanitary and relief corps
were unable to reach them. The
government has done all within it's
power for the relief of the sufferers.

personally superintended the govern

from the flooded provinces, and sew

1t has been said that the ideal
method OF road building would be TO
make IL matter OF private enter
prise; that governmental discipline
produces order and courage but not
ingenuity or enterprise. However
specious such an argument may seem,
In Europe where the roads are directly
under government control facts seem
TO prove tho reverse TO be true, says
the Utica Globe. In Europe the
government spends immense sums In
the maintenance OF the roads, and
the result Is that there a farmer can
drive huge load twenty or thirty
miles to market in any kind OF
weather, returning the same day and
a horse can haul twice as much as an
American horse, simply because the
roads are better.
In Belgium the principal roads are
in the hands of the government, and.
in 1880, in the nine provinces over 10
per cent. of the high-roads we're Of
this class, the entire length of the
roads being Alb English miles.
In Italy the minister OF public
works Is head of the department Of
public roads. These roads are mostly
undertaken by contract and are under
the government engineers. The con-
tracts also extend to the cost of re-
pairs.
In Bavaria, too, the roads are sup

fright and amazement. There is a

The annexation fever in Canada is
exciting much attention In England,
and such open advocacy of political
union with the United States as has
lately been expressed in Quebec and
Ontario may prompt Tory Ministry
to be as foolish as those politicians
who, century ago, tried to coerce
the American colonies. So grave is
the situation in the Province of
Quebec that startling events may
happen at any moment. The French
claim that their constitutional priv
ileges have been outraged, and they
say that unless England offers a
speedy remedy for this, they "will
turn where their rights can be pro
tected."

THE news comes from Germany
that the beginning Of winter finds
500 cases Of influenza in Silesia. 1t
is useless to expect that the same
winds which blow the poison germs
across Europe will not also watt them
over the Atlantic and bind the west
ern hemisphere with a broad girdle
OF disease. This new appearance is
said to have originated in Russian
churches, in an atmosphere breathed
over and over again by the most
wretched and dirty people in Europe.
Formerly the Mohammedans at Mecca
had credit for every pestilence; now
the Greek branch of the Christian
church-of which the Car is sover-
eign pontiff-is the head and front of
the offending. Medical science in
the United States will now be called
upon for its most strenuous efforts.
Two winters ago the epidemic slew
its thousands and last winter its tens
of thousands. II a specific has not
been discovered by this time it is
probable that systems weakened by
the former attacks will give way in
still greater numbers. Experience,
however, must now have something
to go upon in dealing with the ear
liest symptoms. Influenza, in any OF
its forms, should not be closed book
to the medical profession. Every
public health Office in the country
should be made an agency for the
diffusion of information as to the
latest and most successful methods OF
dealing with the enemy.
