Senator Hoar, who sailed for Eu-
rope in May on account of serious
trouble with his eyes, has returned in
good health and with his sight greatly
improved. On politics he naturally
has little to say, but he is confident
that Massachusetts will remain true
to it's traditions, and is hopeful that
New York will do as we'll as in 1888.
Like ex-senator Edmunds, Mr. Hoar
returns from abroad more than ever
convinced of the great value of the
Protective system. At this late day
it is, unfortunately, hardly likely that
the Senator will be able to take an ac-
tive part in the campaign.

PROPOSED HIGHWA Y La w.

A bill has been introduced into the
legislature which does away entirely
with surveyors of highways, and re-
quires the appointment Of aroad COM
missioner, who shall have all the
power now conferred by law on street
commissioners and surveyors, such
commissioner is requested to give
bonds to a sum which is twice as large
as the money raised for highway pur-
poses. Towns are requested to raise
20 per cent on a dollar of the grand
list, and the state must raise 5 per
cent. on the grand list of the state,
this sum to be appropriated accord
ing to road mileage. Seventy five
per cent. of the taxes raised must be
expended previous to July 15thb each
year No part of the above sum shall
be expended in repairing or building
bridges or culverts exceeding four
feet span, the selectmen being re-
quested to build all bridges exceeding
the width mentioned by expending
money raised in the general town tax.
The commissioner must make an an
nual report both to the town and the
state and keep his books open to the
inspection of the town. The select
men are to fix the salary per day of
the commissioner at q sum not less
than $500 day. The law, should it
be enacted, would be simple and would
be much better than the present law,
provided that some intelligent, goa
head man could be found in each town
to do the work assigned. The princi-
pie of putting the supervision of the
roads into the hands of one, Or not to
exceed three men, is wise one.
There ought to be some man in each
town who could do this very impor-
tant work better than other men.
One man with head on him ought to
be able to plan the highway repair of
the town that money could be wisely
and economically expended.
We believe that the roads of the
State will never be improved to any
great extent until the State shall take
the matter in hand and have the high
way system of each town planned,
built and repaired by competent men
engineers, to order when, how and
where money shall be expended, and
to SO build roads that they Will be i'm

ginia, though a rampant free trader
is opposed to the Democratic bill
placing coal and iron on the free list.
Why? Because the prosperity of his
State depends on the development OF
its vast coal and iron deposits. Yet
Wilson eagerly joins i'll the cry to
have wool made free. His constitu-
ents are not SO deeply concerned in
that, and he feels safe in practicing
his economic theories on the farmers.
Yet why shouldn't the farmers ofthc
country have the same right TO tariff

BIG FIRE.

Hurned.

At about four o'clock Friday even
ing (April 81 the fire alarm was
sounded, calm for the fire engines
at a fire that was raging III q row Of
frame buildings up on Lorimier street
just north of the Opera House. The
fire originated in Bartles' cooper
shop. a frame building, and before it
was discovered the flames had gain
ed such Roadway that there was no
use in trying to IA the building.
The cooper shop stood on the west
end of the lot on an alley along which
were the stables belonging to the
residents along LOrilnier street. Tie
buildings were SO les each other
that the flames leaped from one to
another and in a few minutes after
the alarm was sounded three or four
of the stables were burning. The

ing. The water from the engines
were turned on the dwellings that
were rear the burning stables and by
hard work all the dwellings except
o1e small house that stood in the real
OF the Boss house was saved.
The buildings burned were: A
small dwelling house owned by Mrs.
Boss, a cooper shop and stable owned
by Mr.. Bartles, and four other sta
blcs. Mr.. Bartles lost 4 horse and a
fine surry that were in his stable.
With the exception of IL stable
belonging to Mrs. Tetrick none of
the buildings were insured. The to-
tai loss of the property destroyed and
damaged is estimated at about two
thousand dollars.

An intellectual man who canht take
nine hours sleep is simply a misnomcr.
Of course, people who have nothing
whatever TO think of can theoretically
get along with very little. because
they v tire out their brains. But
it must be supposed because a man
a-bcd late in the morning that he is
therefore intellectual. His mind NAV
be absolutely vacant. lie may never
have thought out a wearing problem
in all the days of a useless life. lie
may be absolutely dependent on others
for every motion which he supposes
TO he his own. And yet he NAV STAY
in bed for nine or ten hours. and NAV
not know enough TO get up ever then
by any more intellectual prompting
than the clamor of the stomach f.

generally good sleepcrs because their

than how TO do anything else. The

1t is a serious question whether
the United States has not gone far
enough, if not too far, in anti Chinese
legislation. Wholesale discrimina-
ten against the Chinese is not desir-
able and will inevitably destroy our
important trade with China. The re-
cent case of a Chinese merchant in
baltimore shows how complications
already exist in the administration of
the present laws on the subject. lie
went ON a visit to China and return
ed with his wife. The collector of
Customs at the port of re-entry de-
Sained them until the Treasury De-
partlnent decided that the woman
should be allowed to pass if it were
found that she was in fact the mer-
chants wife. There is no good reas-
on why the better class of Chinese
should not be allowed free access to
this country for residence or travel,
business or pleasure.
