1 SUBJECT Of INTEREST TO ALL.

A SUBJECT Of INTEREST TO ALL.
Tho agitation of tho subject of good
roads by the leading newspapers Of
the country has already produced
good results, and the work 10 just
begun.
Congress has taken hold OF the
subject BY appointing committees to
study the question in i.s various hear
ings, with the view Of initiating suit
able legislation to ft the case, At its
next session.
Several States, such a. Massacbu.
sets, New York, Ohio, Penns, lvsnia,
Illinois, California and Idaho, have
been sufficiently aroused to pass laws
calculated to improve their respective
highway systems.
Yet this is but beginning in what
will surely prove to be one Of the
most Important reforms OF tho century,
as few statistics will demonstrate.
1t 10 estimated that eco O cal road
improvement would save $3.50, 600, 900
. year in the transportation Of farm
products in this country alone.
Good roads would permit farmers
to market their products in winter and
early spring, thus leaving them all the
time during which such work 10 pos.
sible to attcnd to their fields and trees.
This would enable them to dispense
with two million Of the twenty million
draft animals. These two million
draft animals are worth $4,000, 900.
and to feed them costs $lOO,OOO,OOO
ayear.
Among the many advantages Of
good roads are these, which appeal to
every farmer: Heavier loads can be
drawn, and drawn faster, with les.
exertion, and the difference in the
selling price Of produce, If carried il
. wagon over q smooth road for one
hour, and the same produce carried
over . rough road for three hours, il
the difference, often times, between
profit and loss.
In short, tho advantages Of gooi
roads, while great to special GLASSES
are enormous to the entire community
They increase the valuation of al
property, make reduced taxes possible
aud conduoe very materially to tn
general prosperity.

her offspring bad escaped from farm-
yard just - the train came noisily by.
The colt, whose four weeks OF life
had been insufficient to acquaint il
with tho vociferous harmlessness Of .
railroad train seen from . distance,
became frightened and ran on the
track ahead Of the engine.
Almost instantly the cowcatcher Of
the engine thrust its nose beneath the
colt and sudden shake OF ,he engine
jerked the animal upon its iron frame,
where it hung helpless and terrified,
but out OF danger.
The intelligent mother Ralloped
frantically after the colt, jumping
fences and uttering piseous neighs
distinctly audible above tho roar Of
the cars. The mare appeared so
frantic with grief that tho train men
slowed down, and, finally stopping,
nearly two miles from the poiot of the
collision with the colt, removed the
younaster uninjured from its perilous
position.
Witnesses Of the meeting between
the two animals say it was enough to
move ono to tears. The mother
caressed the little one, jumped up and
down, and acted in the most ex.
ubersnt manner. The last seen OF the
pair the mother was holding her nose
against the colts head a. if whisper.
ing her joy.

verdict that Idaho fruit was the finest

stance, are inoontestably the best in

ascertained that they carry from 10
to 20 per cent. less moisture than the

The CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW,

Anu VuANESE CACAOSAVN Lave
This was the date originally fixed
for tho enforcement of tho Chinese
exclusion act. This law required al
Chinese men and women in this
country to obtain q certificate Of reg
istratioo to which their photograph
was attached. In the absence OF such
. oertifoate they were to have been
arrested and deported to China.
But the enforcement of tho law has
been postponed by orders from Wash
ingeon to the United States District
Attorneys. instructing them not to
order arrests under the law until the
United States Supreme Court has
rendered . decision in tho test case
that will DO presented to the court
upon the going into effect Of the law.
This test case 10 to be made up on
behalf of the os.sacized Chinese. As
10 generally known, about all the
Chinese in this country have come
under contract to six Chinese COM
psnies with headquarters in San
Francisco. These companies pay the
cost Of passage aud all necessary ex.
penses Of the Chinese coming to this
country. from the time they leave
HongkonR, the seaport where they
take ship, until employment is secured
for them in this country, when the
companies are reimbursed for thei,
outlay at an agreed price per bead.
Last Fall these six companies do.
termined to contest the constitution,
atty of the exclusion law. To tina,
end they levied an assessment Of 81
upon each Chinaman in this country
Other assessments followed until The
total aggregated Sc per head d
Chinese. With this money the 81,
companies retained as eminent counse
~ could be found in this country. and
proceedings were begun to test the
validity of the law.
What the courts decision will be il
is. of course, impossible to say. Blu,
this much 10 evident: That tho Law
will be contested in every possible
way. The result will be that the Law
may become . dead letter, and tia,
the Chinese will remain.

The idea emenates from the Senate,

The courts Of the State are most OF them
in session aud as nearly all the senators
are lawyers, their business suffers severe
ly by their absence. They feel that they
are bound TO be at home. and they
are going to try and get there. 1hey
propose AZ soon as the impeachment case
Is presented to them to set u Tor the
1st Of June and then force the House
to take a recess.
That is what the plan IL now and II IS
being widely discussed. Many OF the
members say they positively will not come
back here in June They want TINS

TO wind il up.
Efforts are being made to hasten mat
