SOME CURRENT COMMENT.

The spectacle of Nine. Boulanger mourn
ing with evident sincerity for the death of
husband who had deserted her for another
woman and who apparently had no parting
thought for her, is certainly anything but
Partisan. The touching lesson of her grief
will probably be lost in France.-IColumbu
(O.) Dispatch.
The Minnesota supreme court has declared
all operations in grain margins to be null
and void, but there is a law of trade more
powerful than the law Of the state, which
allows these transactions and compels the
loser to pay his losses. Until that law is
changed the state may legislate and the
supreme court may decide, but gambling in

The tendency of the time is toward prac-
teal education. The classes in technolog-
ical studies at our great universities begin
to outnumber those in the purely literary
courses. The graduates in engineering,
mining, electricity, etc, secure paying po-
sitions as soon as they have diplomas. The
literary graduates await circumstances and
expectations-which in many cases are
never realized Detroit Free Press.
The inability of the Farmers Alliance of
Kansas to make arrangements for the es-
Enlistment of a daily paper at Topeka may
cause temporary disappointment among the
members of that order, but the time is
likely to come when the failure to carry out
this project will be looked upon with more
composure. No publication can be long
maintained in Kansas or anywhere else

the theory that the American farmer is u

The fact that movement has begun in
Ohio on the part of Republicans to over
throw the Australian ballot law in that
state, does not prove that all the Republi-
cans are against it, by any means, but it
will not escape attention tina the only oppo-
sition to this ballot law in that state comes
from the Republicans. This may moderate
the claim, which we see often made, that
all the decency and fairness are on one side

The Dallas organ of the sub-treasury
party says: THE Mercury desires to
ask those who demand the repeal OF
the alien land law: Why should Amer
lean citizens be in financial bondage to
foreigners and work to pay them inter-
est, when We can make our money and
use it for the same purpose and retain
at home the interest that now goes to
fatteu foreign aristocracy:" This is
an admission of what THE GAZETTE
has been declaring: The sub-treasury
party indorse the Gossett law because
it drives money out of the state and
tends to make the people desperate.
Through the desperation of the people
the sub-treasury leaders hope to re-
cruit the ranks of pawnshop policy.

ants and are prosperous to an unusual de-
gree, the rich lands they have put in Guilt
walton yielding them bountiful harvest
each season. The full-bloods look upon
this as an innovation and are determined
to harass them as much as possible. They
prefer to see their broad prairies and rich
valleys covered with cattle and wild ami
mails rather than to see their more enterpris-
ing neighbors reaping golden harvests as the
fruits of pluck and enterprise. But they
are gradually being forced to adopt the
white mans ways and accept the inevitable
the obening of their country to enter
prise and progress.
The contest going on in Texas be-
tween the sub-treasury and alien land
law full-bloods and the Democratic and
progressive half-bloods, might be con-
sidered in the light of what IS doing in
the Indian Territory.

Methodists In Council.
Boston EeIaid.

Some ten years ago a general conference
OF MethodistS was called to meet in Lon
don. Thither went the great lights of the
Methodist church in America, and there
gathered bishops, clergymen and laity from
other lands. 1t was called the ecumeuical
conference, though it was social and in
tellectual gathering rather than canonical
one.
a similar meeting is now in progress at
Washington. About FIVE hundred delegates
are in attendance-3G0 from the American
churches and 200 from foreign lands. 1t is
large meeting representing various confer
ences and congregations aggregating more
than ffty-five million commandments. The
gathering also represents all branches of
Methodism, and is practical 'love-feast"
OF the denomination wherever scattered over
the earth.
The Methodist church is body Of Won
derful vitality. 1t is one of the latest
formed sects of Professionalism. and, in less
than two centuries, has grown from moth
ing to one of the largest religious denomi-
nations. Its creed and discipline appeal
strongly to the masses of the people, ard its
organization is peculiarly adapted TO mis-
sionary enterprise Like the Ca holic
church, il holds its followers in loyalty to
its standard, and increases its membership
at rapid rate. It's chief strength is its
plainness and enthusiasm. The one invites
all mankind, and the other bids fair to cap
ture the world.
The Washington conference is looked
upon as most important meeting, though
it will do nothing to change doctrine or es-
tablish new law for the Methodist church
However, it will discuss live questions, and
the result of the conference will be to sug-
gest lines of policy with reference to some
of the great and burning questions of the
day. This council will serve as an irspira-
ton to the regular conferences throughout
the world, and it is likely that educational,
missionary, charitable ard evangelical
work in tire church will take on new de-
partures as the outcome of the Washington
meeting.

Road, and Civilization.

Wellington Smith. Mtmintown, Pa.
Roads are an outgrowth Of civilization.
The more civilized and enlightened ma
ton, the more nearly does its system Of
roads approach perfection. Any age or ma
ton is best understood by the character of
its roads. II they have no roads at all they
are savages. The Romans were the best
ancient road builders, and among the best
in modern days arc those Of the English,
French and Germans. Sharp competition
in trade with lack of railroads render good
roads prime necessity 1t is said farm

farther on than ono four miles OF and over
Q good road. Nature of soil with local char
acteristics have much to do with the cost Of
construction, and hence quality Of roads,
but It u with nations Is with individuals,

cities, NO may say, roads are perfect, in
larger towns less 50, In smaller ones still

immigration company was fled in the Office
of the clerk of the United States circuit

states that the 20, l42 acres of land At the

of the improvement of the Brazos

TIE Connectieutters viii likely have
cause to thank themselves for politi-

Both the Democratic and Republican

chuckholes and boulders," the roads cor
responding exactly to the degree Of civil
lied progress. And the difference is less
aesthetic than unitarian. Good roads
shorten distance. Q They save wear and
tear. They save horses. They add to the
value Of real estate. They multiply bust
ness. The writer can get 2 cents more a
brshel for wheat by hauling two miles far
ther aud can draw forty bushels with two
horses. This would be 50 cents more, but
loss of time and wear and tear arising
from bad roads are so great that the so
cents are 10 lnducement. and even the
fact that lumber is usually from 80 cents to
81 less at the same place is not a sufficient
set-off against half-civilized roads. Only
good roads are true economy.
