They require an active, strong, intelligent

us, be secured for so meagre a salary.
There is a constant temp alton to corrupt
practices in insufficient or small salaries
Il is not true economy to employ dis
honest man at any salary, no matter how
small, it is never wise to place a man
under the temptation Of eling out a
meagre salary by corrupt practices.

and require him to cover all the Der.

ers shall be compelled to work in a stone
quarry in procuring and breaking stone
suitable to be used for the improvement
of the roads. and that workhouse and
prison, in charge Of superintendent and
assistants, shall be provided for them.
The provisions Of the bill are excellent
but we are sorry that some more immedi.

measure for the permanent Improvement

workhouse and work for the prisoners
Il is true that the several hundreds of
the county may obtain metal for th,
roads within their limits at no direct
cost except that of transportation. But
the metal is a small part Of the cost OF
road building. If there were broken
stone sufficient at New Castle to day Il
macadamize every road in the county. W,
would be very little nearer than we wer,
last year to the actual Improvement OF
the roads. We do not need an act L,
provide macadamized stone so much as an
act to provide the money for putting In,

cheap at any price.

the coroner took IL, without an inquest,
to the Potter's field at Farnhurst and

among sailors to bury their dead at low

The ReoeiW Of Reoieaos for July is
strong in all it's departments. In the
Progress of the World - is summed up
and discussed the important political,
social and economic movements of the
month, and the text is enlivened with
numerous portraits and other illustra-
tons. The fifteen new forest reserVa,
tions recently created by the govern
ment are described and the maps are
presented showing the exact location
of each. These reservations are scat
tered throughout the great western
half of the country, and aggregate in
extent probably not less than fifteen
million acres. The writer makes plain
the Importance of preserving the great
forests which guard the headwaters of
many of our large rivers, and urges
that the undertaking so splendidly be-
gun may be further extended.

The steps taken by the State of South
Carolina in dealing with the liquor
question, after the manner of the Swiss,
seems to be both legally and financially
sound. If the sale of liquor in state
county or city has debasing effect up
on the morality of such, it is but just
and proper that the source of evil
should be heavily taxed to meet the
consequences of its existence. But how
heavily? has been the stumbling block
in the path of reform and correction.
This course now adopted gives the state
all the profits from the sale, and
makes it sole dispenser of intoxicants;
so that those who indulge their &C
quired taste pay direct revenue, to
the people who have no such taste, as
defense fund against the hydra-headed
monster. Individual liberty is preserved,
but the commonwealth is reimbursed
for losses resulting from the ibertine
act. There is but one cloud upon the
fair promise of successful solution of
this vexed question; can politics be kept
out of business that has so long and
universally controlled it? Can the new
venture be run without pull and rings
on an honest basis of by the people for
the people. If it can, then much of the
burden of the liquor traffic will be re-
moved from the shoulders of the repub-
lie.

The destructive cyclone that swept
across Iowa, wiped out the town of
Pomeroy, and left behind it wide
swath and terrible death and casualty
list, should teach all jewellers on the
Western and Northwestern prairies to
make cyclone cellar an absolute requi-
site. The old saying "look out for
squalls should be always kept in mind
and the cellar sought when the omi-
nous clouds gather too near. The
weather bureau usually gives ample
warning of stormy probabilities.

That the prOmiscuous use of explo-
sives, fireworks, pistols and guns for the
celebration of Independence day is an in
dication of a still latent barbarism in
the American people, is beyond doubt;
but no one seems to fully appreciate
it till by some sad accident, of which
hundreds annually occur, it comes to
rend heart strings and break gap in a
beautiful family circle. Those who
know Sheriff Chapel of St. Paul, or
came under his kindly restraint, will
regret that the American Moloch should
have snatched his little daughter from
him by this deplorable means.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa,

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvcts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper; to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological informa-
ton, and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

The Inter Ocean seems to be the only
