THE FIFTY-sECOND CONGRESS.

When it is remembered that the
democrats of the house were constantly
confronted by an unfriendly senate and
executive, they have reason to feel
proud of what they accomplished
during the session just closed. Among
the important bills passed by the house
and not acted upon by the senate. were
those for the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico as states, and the one
authorizing home rule for Utah. the
anticipation bill, the bill to compel rail-
roads to equip their freight cars with
automatic couplers, the bill forfeitinpr
%, 1873 1896 acres of unea1ned land
granted to railroads by previous legisla-
ton, and the various separate bills re-
pealing or modifying some of the most
oppressive sections of the Mckinley
tariff law. These bills stand for what
the house wished to do, and what the
democratic party would have done had
1T controlled all branches of the govern
ment, as it hopes soon to do. The bills
which became laws are too we'll known
to be recapitulated here.
The only feature of the first session
of the ffty-second congress which
causes any disappointment to democrats
is the aggregate of the appropriations
made, but when the trouble is taken tn
analyze the situation it will be seen that
many millions of tho money appronri-
ated was called for by previous Iegisla-
ton for which the democratic house
was in no way responsible-Senator
German places it at 500, 900, 900. The
same senator also called attention to the
fact that it will be necessary under the
present laws to make the pension appro-
prlatlon to be made at the next session
OF congress at least 2O,OOO, 900 larger
than the enormous one passed at the
last session, and that other large expend-
itures wall have to be made, which will.
In his opinion, make it necessary for
congress to levy other and additional
taxes to raise the money,

Denial from Archbishop Ireland.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. S.-Archbishop
Ireland has made a brief statment touch
ing the report that President Harrison
had urged the Pope to bestow the Red
Hat upon him. The statement is as fol-
lows: Il am much panied by these con-
slant recurring rumors about me.
Whether they originate with well mean
ing but imprudent friends or with SIMS
ter minded enemies they result in giving
deep displeasure and harming the cause
of religion. repeat what I have said
that for all these rumors those who speak
them have no foundation for their words.
Matters grow worse when it is sought to
implicate persons of prominence These
reports are SO evidently false on their face

In the United Strtes intelligent road
making in the COZ ~ is, as Il general
thing. almost wlolly unknown. The
ridiculous misapplication Of rustic labor
and foolishness known as road work
ing is the gravcst farce an ordinarily
Intelligent people ever took part in year
after wear. 1t is too well known to need
description and the fact that it has long
been tolerated suggests doubt as to
whether as people we are not destitute
of humor. The spectacle of all the able
bodied men of the district" turning
out under that master of roadmaking
farce, the supervisor, as he is called, and
spending two days each year i'll max
ing the roads almost impossible for the
rest of the year, and thus imprisoning
themselves in the country during the
late autumn and early spring, is one
that would have delighted the heart Of
Cervantes and perhaps furnished com
panion volume to the adventures Of the
Knight If La Mancha.
But the farce goes gravely ON year
after year. If here and there city be-
gins to agitate the cause of good roads
into the country in the interest of both
country and city residents, it is opposed
with much the same arguments and OBJ
stiuacy that good roads We're opposed in
/ England century ago. The fact thar
it has been proved i'll other countries
that good country roads have benefited
the country on the whole far more than
the cities is fact country jewellers, as
rule, are ignorant of and apparently
cannot understand or appreciate.
Railroads can never supply the place
of good wagon roads, and the develop
ment of system of good roads in any
state will demonstrate that fact so clear
lowed by other states.-Chicago Herald

THE NEW YORK Or ruuaY.
A City Made Up of Nationaiities from
Almost Every Part of the World.


Almost Every Part of the World.
People talk about the value of foreign
travel in broadening the mind and correct
ing that tone of provincialism which used
to be more common in this country than it
is now What they say is all very true,
hut no one seems to realize that right here
In New York man may travel among
many foreign peoples, and by so doing
may acquire that cosmopolitan outlook
which should distinguish the modern man
of the world. There are, for instance, GER
tain localities in the east side which are as
Hebrew as any modern community can be.
Hebrew papers are exposed for sale on the
newsstands. Hebrew shops with Hebrew
signs abound Hebrew restaurants an

what not in the most approved modern

a Hebrew playhouse presents Hebrew
dramas la the Hebrew tongue Every
where around you are the evidences of
Semitic life, and as you behold the strange
manners and customs of these people, in
no respect modified by American civiliza-
ton, it is hard to believe that you are in
New York at all and not in some foreign
ghetto" which, maybe, you will spend a
good deal of time and money some day to
visit
The same thing is largely true of many
other natioualities and races to be found
in New York about which the self sufli
Gent New York provincial is frankly and
contemptuously ignorant. There are, in
deed, frequent general references to these
alien peoples rs being in some way men
ace" to our civilization Their shortcom
ings, especially the fact that they do not
at once become Anglo Saxon Americans,
are often dwelt on by eloquent preachers
and speakers.
But while New Workers are quick to dis
Germ the duty of the alien to New York,
they do not always realize the duty of the
New Yorker to the alien within his gates.
They take no pains to get into sympathy
with him. to understand his point of view
or to help him to Il truer appreciation of
his duty and obligation Doubtless he is
at fault in segregating himself in an alien
colony AMI in pcrpctuating the traditions
and preiudices of his native land.
But, on the other hand, New Workers
are also at fault when they help to con-
tinue this state of affairs 10y Keeping aloof
from the foreigner, by refusing to learn
anything about him and by making no
effort to bring him into right relations
with our civic life. Most of us fail to real
ize that New York today is not snug lit
tie community of English and Dutch peo-
pie homogeneous in thought and habit,
but great polyglot metropolis, in which
no element of character and no strain of
blood, however humble, can be safely ig-
nored.
New Workers are justly proud of the in
telligent interest they take in every corner
of the globe where men live and think and
act. Is it not high time for them to pay
some attention to their own city, of whose
present condition and future destiny many
of them are SO woefully ignorant?-New

WHAT GOOD ROADS SAVE.
Economies Amounting to Millions Are
in Reach of the Farmers.

Economics Amounting to Millions Are
in Reach of the Farmers.
If our common boast that we are a
progressive, wide awake and ingenious
nation is well founded, what can be
urged to excuse us for adhering to the
Anticipated and inefficient methods of
making and keeping our common roads
when we have before us the great econ
omy and splendid results produced by
the adoption of mo Q intelligent methods
i'll other countries? In many respects we
have greater need of hard surfaced
roads than has either France or Eng
land. Our rainfall is considerably
heavier than theirs and our dirt roads
for weeks at a time are half as deep as
they are wide. Farm traffic is suspended
and horses are kept in idleness.
Official statistics show that there are
something over 100000 horses and
males on the farms of the United States,
and at moderate estimate of twenty
five cents per day as the cost of feed for
each animal, we see that it costs the
farmers of this country about $1,000, 900
per day for this item alone. Less than
80 per cent. of these animals would be
sufficient to do all the hauling of farm
produce carried on in this country if
even the main roads were put in first
class condition, but, not to hope too
strongly for the attainment of distant
things. let us suppose that such an i'm
provement be projected as would render
unnecessary only one-eighth of the total
number of the draft animals now en-
ployed This would reduce the entire
number by little over 100000 and
would effect saving each day Of about
1000 tons of hay and $50, 900 bushels of
oats, which, reduced to a money value,
equals $500, 900 per day, or about $l14,-
900 600 per year.
Add to this the value of the animals,
| $40 900, 600, and we have total of $25l,
600, 900 saved for the first year OF
course these figures do not represent the
real loss ent;.led to our farmers by the
use of dirt roads. That loss is beyond
computation: but in whatever way the
computation is directed, and wherever
the loss Is susceptible of calculation, the
same startling exhibit is bound to ap
pear. A recent careful count shows
over 800 abandoned farms in the fertile
and populous state Of New jersey

Points in Potato Planting.


At one of the Minnesota farmers insti-
tutes practical farmer present expressed
himself as follows on the subject of plant
ing potatoes:
Plant during the very last days of May
or the first days of June, for the follow
ing reasons: |. The weeds are given am
pie time to sprout and grow upon the last
falls shallow blowing, so that the
springs deep blowing, done just before
planting, destroys them most effectively
2. can cultivate later in the season-in
July-and in that way destroy the best
crop of that seasons weeds. This late
cultivation is very important in securing
clean lands with any hoed crops. 3.
While the potatoes have ample time to
mature before injurious frosts and leave
abundant time for the harvesting of the
in the ground so long before digging.
This quick digging after maturity is de-
sirable, particularly in wet seasons, as
we avoid the tendency to rotting, and po-
tatoes are less liable to become scabby
have experimental with seed to some
extent and lay but little stress upon the
matter of size. so plant one or two small
potatoes, or put two pieces, each with
two eyes, in each hill. don't regard a
potato planter with favor, as it plants
with rows running but one way, and so
prevents that opportunity for clean cul-
tivation which is needed in weedy lands,
as frequently found under ordinary farm
conditions.
