Improve the Roads.

The charlottesville Progress SAYS
one of thc most important questions
for the people Of Virginia to decide
is whether they will remain satisfied
with the present plan Of working
county roads. The matter will be
brought to the attention of the next
Legislature, and upon its action will
depend a great deal Of the future
profits in farming in Virginia.
If convicts can be used to an adj
vantage in the construction Of rail
roads, III competition with labor
there should he little trouble in max
ing them available on the comfy
roads Of the State. 1t has been dem
onstratcA in Charlottesville that the
iail-bir,ls can be proIitably employed
in the manufacture of macalam for
use on the streets of the city. Tie
State could use its criminals to equal-
ly as good an advantage.
The value Of good roads is illus
trated in the following item: 'Ev-
cry road leading out of Raleigh, n

ed and nicely macademize,l for sew

estimates the gain to the city from

Tom Watson ON Churches and
Gums.

We are now constructing the most
expensive churches that the world
has known since the pagan religion
was superseded by the "meek and
Iowly Jesus" They are building
one in New York which is to cost
$40, 100000. Suppose Christ should
come again and should wear what he
wore before-a linen gown, a pair OF
wooden sandals on his feet, no socks,
and no hat-do you suppose the min
lister in that ten-million. dollar church
would be glad to see Jesus come in?
He would be just as the money
changers we're in the temple. The
finer our churches are the bigger Mr..
Krupp makes his cannon. He now
constructs them so large that it re-
auires several tons of powder to load
them. The ball is almost as heavy
as park of artillery used to be.
Wherever it hits there is trouble.
We are strange folks. We constant
ly build more churches and school
houses and we constantly want more
guns. The more we embrace the
doctrine that we must love our
neighbor as ourselves, the more thor
oughly we prepare to bore q hole
through him with Winchester. The
more we theorize on returning good
for evil, the more we practice trying
to get the drop on the other fellow"

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

Mr.. Erastus Wiman has discovered five
ways by which union between Canada
and the United States may be brought
about. but one OF which he considers prac-
ticable at the present time. That one way
is by commercial union. The reasoning
of Mr.. Wiman is that close commercial re-
lations will in time make political union
necessary. But Mr.. Wiman wants the
United States to make the first movement
in this direction. Canada Is dependency
of Great Britain and as such unable to
enter into any arrangement the mother
country would not consent to- One of the
things that men may be certain of is that
Great Britain would not consent to a
treaty of reciprocity which gave American
manufactured goods lower rates of duty
than are imposed on British goods. The
United States has nothing to gain by a
treaty of reciprocity which imposes a tariff
on American manufactured goods while
admitting Canadian natural products free
into the United States. Under these con-
ditions 1t does not seem worth while to
discuss union between Canada and the
United States. If it can onlv come through
any commercial treaty that England would
consent to it will not come at ali, at least
not for years to come. Neither country is
at present sufficiently convinced of the
advantages Of union to make sacrifices to
bring union about. Should Canada ever
be denied certain privileges In the way of
carrying goods through the United States
in bond. union might become live CUES
tion on that side of the line.
The morning call., 1893-12-16

bimetallic union that chooses. Ii any ma
tion chooses not to enter it it denies itself
privileges which another nation avails
itself of. BY adopting a policy of this
nature the United States would ally itself
with the nations from which we import
the principal necessaries of life. Tea
comes from Asia. coffee and sugar from
Central and South American countries and
Mexico. which are all silver-using coun-
tries. Under the terms of the suggested
monetary union these nations would admit
our goods at lower rates of duty than are
charged on goods from nations which re-
Quire payment in gold. We have given
only the rough outlines of comprehen-
sive plan. There is nothing impracticable
about it. nor is there any conflict with the
Federal constitution. 1t implies a inan-
cial declaration of independence from
Europe which will give some Eastern wor-
shippers at the shrine of England an ague
fit, but 1t is better that these gentlemen
should be stirred up little than that the
industries of the country should be para
lyzed through q contraction of the cur

IN THE FOG.

A know-it-all Eastern writer SAYS that
San Francisco has vile summer climate.
1t will be admitted that climate Is largely
matter of opinion. There are people
who like the extremes CT heat and cold,
people, IL word. who object to being
comfortable. They want the thermometer
to mark zero or go above 100 degrees. In
San Francisco there are usually number
of uncomfortable days in the summer.
Ibe thermometer ranges at about 60 de-
Rrees, but there is stiff breeze from
the ocean and toward night con siderable
fog, but really disagTeeabls days are few
in number. There were not more than
half dozen last June. hardly one in
July, but In August the ocean wind was
often disagreeably strong. The discom-
tort OF our worst summer days arise
largely from the dust the wind puts in
circulation. We probably shall always
have the dust with US. but it can be made
very mid nuisance by care and an in
considerable outlay. We have tolerated
some village practices which should be
stopped. With clean, well sprinkled
streets San Francisco would be as noted
as summer resort as it now is for the
mildness of its winter. But we shall
