The New York Sun has the following
to say about federal aid for the i'm
%provement of the highways:
The federal congress has nothing what
soever to do with the roads in the sew
eral states, and it is absurd to ask con-
gress to give the secretary of agriculture
money to make an inquiry which can do
no good. A pamphlet compiled and
printed by the secretary of agriculture
on this question will be little read and
will serve no good purpose.
Every one will admit the Importance
of constructing and maintaining good
roads in every state of the Union, and
all the funds available for that purpose
should be judiciously expended upon the
public highways. But the roads belong
peculiarly to the state sovereignty or to
the people of each individual state, and
it is the we'll settled law that the roads
are held in trust by the public authori-
ties for the benefit Of the people Of the
whole state. The authority of the fed
eral government extends only over the
land within a state which has been coded
to the federal government or which has
been reserved for it's uses, such as land
occupied for lighthouses or government
Notifications.
The streets of our great cities are kept
in good order through taxation levied on
the inhabitants of the city or county,
and in New York state in the country
districts the roads are under the charge
of local authorities, and such, we be-
lieve, is the cast in every other state Of
the Union.
The remedy, therefore, for poor roads
must be found in a change of local sem
timent or in the enactment of new laws
by the state legislatures.

AN E[GHT-DAY CLOCK.

Its an uncommOnly queer wOrld"
said Zedekiah. He leaned back
against the broken gatepost and
stared hard at the setting sun. The
ragged looking cornfields stretched
desolately away at his feet and wore
an apologize aspect, as though
ashamed to call attention to the mea-
ger array of cornstocks and diminu-
tive yellow pumpkins which We're
their utmost effort in the way of
crops. 1t was a poverty stricken in
heritance enough; land that had
run out" from lack of enriching; q
belt of once glorious woodlands, nov
sadly shrunk and spoiled by repeat
ed telling, and the low, gray farm
house, implanted for many a long
year and showing the ravages of
time and weather to an alarming eX-
tent despite all Zedekiah's unfag
ging efforts at patching and repairs.
Yes, it was a poor patrimony, and
yet Zedekiah loved every tree and
every s~tone-there were plenty-on
the place, and his heart within him
swelled with sorrow and passionate
regret at the thought that that terri
BILE mortgage must be foreclosed
next Monday, and Birch Brook farm
lost to the name Of Barnes forever.
1t had been a desperate struggle to
keep their heads above water ever
since their fathers death two years
before. Farming carried on by a
delicate widow and a boy of Is, how
ever much energy and good will
they bring to bear between them on
the work in hand, can hardly be eX-
pected to afford brilliant results, and
the wet season just passed had Gin
ished the job" as Zedekiah himself
would have said. The hay was
spoiled and the wheat sprouted, and
where the magnificent income of the
owners just sutficed to buy the salt
for the stirabout which the ruined
corn should have supplied, that
meant ruin.
And SO the mortgage was to be
f~oreclosed next Monday, and the
harnesses We're to be homeless.
"Zedl Zed!" 1t was a gentle voice
that called, and Zedekiah, with a
shake of his shoulders, forced a
CHASTITY smile of assumed cheerful,
ness and turned to greet his mother
at the open door,
She had been a pretty woman
once, and even now, faded and worn
though she was, there was a certain
grace and gentleness about hel
which accounted for her sons devo
ton, even though the little plain
tive voice and manner showed, pool
woman, that life had been a pretty
hard and bitter struggle.
Come in to your supper, Zed,
she called again as he came up tn,
tagged walk with an air of intens'
jauntiness to hide the fact that h,
was ~footsore and lame where tn,
fiints had bruised through the wor1
boots. The children are that hungry
that l can't keep them quiet, an(
they ought to have been in bed, pool

Two yellow haired little girls rar
up as they entered.
"Ah Zed," cried little Mamie
II amt had no supper yet. Wasn'1
you bad to stay away SO long!'
While baby Carry chimed in: "Yeth
Zed velly bad boy. Shan't have nc

been instructed TO protest against the firing
from the forts as an indefensible act, con-
stituting a violation of international law,
inasmuch as the friendly relations estab-
lished between France and Siam by the
treaty of 1856 had remained unimpaired up
to that time.
The secretary Of tho Siamese legation In
Paris denies in an interview that the
Siamese were the agyressors in the affair.
The conflict was due, he says, TO the fact
that the French commanders misunder-
stood the orders Of their government not
to cross the bar Advices received from his
government he says, assert that the king
is determined to resist any claims made
by France for damages to the French war
ships.
