WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The aim and

wool and hair specified in paragraphs
372 to 800 inclusive of the tariff act,
with the exceptions of shoddy and gar
Melted waste, which are TO be excepted
for the reason that they undergo pro-
cess of manufacture. The text of the
bill, as drafted by Mr.. Springer, does
not embrace more than five hundred
words, and simply recites that
all specific duties imposed by certain
paragraphs of the law, which para
graphs are reported, shall be repealed,
leaving the ad valorem duties of the
manufactures of uwool and hair as pre-
scribed by the Mckinley act. The
specific duties of the carpet paragraphs
Of the law, which range from II cents
per square yard to 80 cents per square
yard, are also repealed by Mr. Spring.

AN important argument In favor oil
good roads and against poor ones is
that the 40. 900. 900 tons OF hay grown
here last year were moved at an ex-
pense OF twice as much power as would
have been the case had good roads
prevailed. France spends $l8. 900. 900
year to keep her roads in repair
and her territory is only four times as
large as New York state. The roads
have a vital effect upon developing
and increasing agriculture and so long
rs the improvement OF them is not a
national affair. run by the federal gov
ernment 1t lies with the farmers TO
make them better. 1t is for their
benefit and not for pleasure seekers
who wish to ride over them.

E. c. sTANDIFoRD DEAD.
A weil-Known Chicago Newspaper Man
Passes Away.

Passes Away.
CHICAGO, Jan. Be. G. Standiford,
president of the International Press as
socia ton, died at his residence in this
city Saturday morning. He was taken
down with typhoid fever three weeks
ago and continued to sink until his
death. The deceased was the founder
of the International, the growth and de-
velopment of which Is filter tribute to
his sterling qualities as a broad-gauged
business man, than can be pictured
with ink. His social anna bilities are
better told by the pail of gloom occa-
stoned among the wide circle of ac-
quaintances by his unlocked for de-
mise. Around the Chicago offices Of the
association the grief manifested tells Of
the human kindness that lived between
him and those with whom he was most
closely associated. He was 80 years old
and married and leaves a widow and
one child. He was the inventor of a
new type-setting machine which it is
believed will revolutionize the printing
business. 1t was just about to be placed
on the market.
Mr.. Stamford was possessed of quail
flies which endeared him to all with
whom ne came in contact. His open
and frank nature, CHEEKY disposition
and unassuming manner, together with
a pleasant smile and encouraging word
for all. whether superintendent or office
boy, made him great favorite with
all the employees of the international
Press association. The announcement
of his demise was shock to them all.
AS soon as they had recovered from
their unwelcome shock q meeting was
called Of all employed in the different
departments and resolutions were
adopted expressive of the grief which
they felt at his untimely taking off and
extending condolences to the bcrcaved
family in their affiiction, and cxtolIing
his character as a man and employer.
Handsome floral offerings were sent to
the late home of the deceased. The
funeral took place this afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Supreme
Court will reassemble after its holiday
vacation, and a number of i'm
portant decisions are likely TO be
handed down. II is stated
that the finding in the Behring
Sea case may await the treaty which is
to go to the Senate soon. An early de-
cision is looked for on the anti-lottery
law, and the understanding is that the
constitutionality will be sustained.
The same is true of the cases brought
by Marshall Field and others to test
the validity of the Mckinley tariff law.
1t is limited that this will be upheld on
all the three points raised, the error in
the tobacco clause, the powers granted
the President in the reciprocity section.

may DO dissenting opinions on that
point.

TRACK-LAYINO IN 1891.
Smallest Mileage for Six Years---wher,
Work Was Done.


Work Was Done.
New YORK, Jan. lin its issue of
this week the Engineering News will
publish its usual annual summary of
track laid in the United States during

According to the figures given there
have been 4,093 miles of new railway
constructed between Jan. /, 1891, and
Jan. 1, 1892, bringing the total mileage
of the United States up to III, 100. This
is a decrease of 1,574 miles from last
years figures or the smallest mileage
built during any year since
1855, when 3,131 miles of
track were laid. This decrease is quite
evenly distributed over the country,
each group of States showing de.
crease, with the exception of the Mid
die States New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
which show an increase of SO per cent.
over last year and the largest mileage
constructed during any year since 1888,
The six South Atlantic States have
laid the largest amount of new
track-1,O96 miles-and the six
New England States the smallest-5O

lowed in order by Georgia, Washington
and South Carolina with 244 mules, geo

necticut, Delaware, Mississippi or the
Territory of Arizona. The State OF
Kansas, which laid 1893 miles in 1886,

THERE are other than purely politi.
cal and economic issues which, in our
day. challenge public attention and
deserve thoughtful consideration. And
among these pertinent issues is the
source from whence we are to draw
our supply of the new citizens of this
republic. Two sources OF supply are
accessible to us-immigration and the
growing up of American children. We
are all keenly alive to the dangers that
threaten our government when igno-
rant immoral and vicious foreigners
are made citizens by hundreds and
thousands and the importance of sur
rounding the process of naturalization
with proper safeguards is readily ap-
preciated by all who are awake to the
danger OF the republic from this quar-
ter. Too great circumspection at this
point cannot be exercised, for any lack
OF vigilance here will very eeriously
imperil the future OF our institutions
and undermine the very foundations

UNTIL within a very recent period
civilization has never been studied at
all. There has been some theorizing
about 1t by poets. historians and meta
physicians but no study; no slow and
laborious putting together of the facts
OF one century to the facts OF
another to reach the truth OF the
whole. In this study the nineteenth
century has been pre-eminent; and
from whatever standpoint the subject
has been approached. the conclusion
has been reached that there is a pur-
pose In civilization above the con-
scious purposes Of any or all who have
worked from century to century to
bring it about. The materialists
among evolutionists who deduce civ
ilization from brutes with the highest
possibilities of humanity in them. agree
in this with the sternest theologians,
who deduce 1t from "a fallen man"
with the lowest possibilities OF brutal
ity in him.

UNITED STATES TROOPS DIS
PERSE THE REvOLUTIONISTS
a Proclamation Calling Upon Mexicans
to Assist In Overthrowing Pres
ident Diaz.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 5.-The
latest news from the border, where
United States troops are in the field
against the Mexican revolutionist,
Garza, is included in telegram re-
ceived at the military headquarters
here to-day from CaptsWheeler, COM
handing officer at Fort Ringgold. He
reports that Lieut.. Langhorne, with q
detachment, surprised a camp of revo-
lutionists three miles from Los Cueva-
tos, who ran at the approach of the
troops and escaped into the dense thick
et-not, however, until one of Garza's
leaders, Col. Pablo Munoz had been
captured, as well ras the horses and
complete equipments of nine revolu ton
lists, including two guns, ammunition
bags and many important papers.
Great credit Is given Private Walker,

as courier.
Appeal of the Revolutionists.
The spirit of the revolutionists Is
best shown by the following pronun-
ciamento translated from Spanish to

hours has been given wide but surrep-
titious circulation:
FELLowCIrIzENs: As Mexicans we
must not remain any longer as single
spectators before the revolutionary
movement initiated by the frontier
writer, c. R. Cara, because, besides
basing his revolution on the holy prin-
ciple OF the democracy and proclaiming
thereby the liberty of the people, he
has demonstrated to us that his politi-
cal ideal rests on the pillar of the
rights of the people. Who is that
worthy Mexican who does not love the
freedom of his country? Is the Mexican
the most miserable type in America?
No; a thousand times, no.
Mexicans, be convinced that the rev.
dictionary spark has been kindled and
the blaze that will give us our freedom
Is rapidly spreading throughout all our
territory, and it only lacks the from
tiersmen to rise so that the throne of
the tyrant Diaz may be overthrown by
the great work inaugurated by the
most modest of Mexican writers.
The attitude of the United States
government with regard to the perse-
cution OF CARA signifies nothing, TAX
ing into consideration the proposition
or compacts that the tyrant Diaz has
been making to it. Mexicans, to arms!
lie who writes this is Mexican who
loves the freedom of his country.

Hurrah for Mexico!

sion will probably begin active work
in organizing the state for the Ne

direction. 1t is generally conceded
that the state appropriation is alto-
gether too small and should not only
be increased oy the next legislature,
but should De generously supplemented
by contributions from philosophical
chlzens and special organizations for
the promotion OF the state exhibit.
Omaha has a deep interest in the
Nebraska exhibit. She should raise
an ample fund OF her own and request
special allotment OF space in the
Nebraska building where facts ana fic-
ures concerning her resources and fu
turc prospects may be attractively
shown. Being but 500 miles from Chi
