Economy Of Good Streets.

Upon the basis that there is an ay-
erage saving of two-thirds in the cost
Of all transportation by means of an
imals and vehicles where paved streets
are used, q trade journal devoted to
this subject maks some interesting es-
Inmates as to the possible gain in dol
lars throughout the United States that
would result from better paving:
Iu the year 1890 tho railways OF the
United States moved 70l, 34l, 437 tons Of
freight, which was probably hauled over
roaus or streets at the points OF loading
and unloading tho cars an average dis.
tance of half mile each way. AS load
weighing a ton cannot be transported a
mile by means Of animals aud vehicles for
less than 40 cents which will be used in
this calculation as an average charge, the
street haulage OF the freight moved by
the railroads OF the United States in 1890
inust have amounted to about 1880 537.
1850. 1t will be assumed, however, at
the risk Of being much too liberal In a
tendency to underestimate, that the aver
age street haul was only quarter of u
mile each way, and that the cost was
therefore SAC, 26S SSL40. Asaving of two
thirds Of this sum would carry to the
credit OF the economy account OF street
paving &93,5l2 G9l.60 year, or,
without making any allowance for the an
nual lncrease Of traffic, sp35, 125, 9l6 in ten
years. The freight moved by the railroads,

Catholicism and the Saloon.


The trenchant letter written by
Archbishop Corrigan to the editor OF
the "Wine and Spirit Gazette" i'll re-
ply to that papers challenge wherein
it dared" the archbishop ''to enforce
in letter and in spirit the decree
against the liquor traffic just issued 10y
Mgr. Satolli, the papal delegate, " adds
another interesting chapter to this im-
portant ard engrossing discussion.
The archbishop's letter is in his own
handwriting. In it he says: "ln re-
ply to your expressed wish, have the
honor to say that | Loyalty accept the
principles laid down by Mgr. Satolll,
both in their spirit and to the letter.
More than this, no Catholic can refuse
to accept them. AS to the fear Of con-
sequences, | have yet, thank God, to
learn what fear is in the discharge of
my duty. Please remember, however,
that acceptance Of principles is not to
be confouuded with the blind applica-
ton Of the same on all occasions and
under all circumstances"
The general character of the conclud-
ing sentence is the only thing in this
emphatic answer to which the editor
Of the "Wine and Spirit Gazette'
could attach any uncertainty, In pur-
suance of the controversy he says:
"rhe answer does not entirely end
squarely meet the issue. 1t is not u
question of accepting principle laid
down by the head of the church, but
Of the courage to carry out in letter
and in spirit the principles just pro-
claimed by the papal delegate in the
face of seemingly adverse public senti-
ment. The issue is: will the arch
bishop give orders to refuse admission
to Roman Catholic societies, any
one engaged either as principal or
agent in the manufacture or sale of ln-
toxicating liquors, and will he instruct
the clergy to deny the rights and
privileges of the church TO liquor
dealers who sell on Sunday"
A reply to these questions will no
doubt be made during the convention
of Catholic total abstainers which will
assemble in the st. Paul auditorium
this morning which, if not possessing
the ecclesiastical weight of Mgr. Sa-
tolli's deliverance, will have decided
moral force. The uncommon import
ance with which this recent discussion
of Catholicism's attitude toward the
liquor traffic has invested the st. Paul
national temperance convention is well
evinced in the fact that many Protest.
ants are tlOcking to the scene of the
convention to participate, if only as
deeply interested spectators, in the
discussion of this latest phase of the
temperance question.
If we were asked to advise the liquor
interests which course to pursue il
order the more ehectually to entrencE
themselves against this advanced move
OF the Catholic church, we should sug
gest at least show Of respectful Obedi
ence. The inconsistency Of trying tC
| join their business with their religion
by means Of Sunday sales does moi
need extended definition. 1t is the
defiant tone of certain indiscreet fac
tors in the liquor trade in America
evidenced, for example, in the "WinC
and Spirit Gazette's' audacious "dare'
which has accelerated the agencies thai
are moving toward its overt hrow.

WE ARE glad now that, before CIV
ing way to criticism, we waited until
Governor Pattison, in his leisurely
manner, had taken the public into his
confidence as to his opinion of the
presidents course in ordering troops to
Chicago. We learn, nearly a month
afterward, that he favored that course
and would, had it become necessary,
have taken hand in the shindy him
self $50 you see" as the governor
himself writes, under date of July %,
1--WE had not talked very much at this
end OF the line, but, as in 1861, at the
sound of the first gun fired upon Sum-
ter, Pennsylvania troops were the first
in Washington for the defense of the
union, so they would have been in
1894, if needed" Not having expressed
any criticism of Governor PattisOn's
course we naturally have nothing to
take back, and are even free to say, at
this remote hour, that had he been
less secretive in his approval of the
chief executives attitude at critical
time it would have done him no
harm.

Let Willis Be Recalled.

So far as he "has the right to do"
Minister Albert Il. Willis has tex
tended to the republic of Hawaii the
recognition accorded to its prede-
cessor, the Provisional government Of
the Hawaiian islands," and has even
chopped that the cordial ,sic) interna-
uonal relations Of the past will be con-
tiuued in the future"-all of which is
good so far rs it goes; bur it doesn't go
far enough. We greatly err as to the
temper Of the American people if they
will rest content with such q recogni-
tion Of the youthful Pacific republic as
we accorded to its predecessor, the pro-
visioual government.
Does Mr. Willis suppose that his
countrymen have already forgotten
that treatment? Does he fancy that
the deceitfulneSs of his course, where
by while he accorded the provisional
government a nominal outward recog-
milton, he was, under instructions
from Washington, stretching every
energy to compass its treacherous over
throw has so quickly passed from
mind? Is he such short-sighted di-
plOmatist as to suspect for an instant
that the hand once reached forth, as
sassin-like, to stab the Hawaiian pat
riots in the back will be welcomed by
them in thin pretence Of open friend
illness, now that the God of liberty has
frustrated Willis imperialistic ma
chinatious and protected those who
simply struggled for the defense Of
their natural rights?
If Mr.. Cleveland possessed a fine
sense Of the fitness of things he would
recall this man Willis and send as the
representative OF the pioneer republic
to its latest disciple in self-gOvernment
u man whose record is not smirched
by the remembrance of unhOly intrigue
and despicable duplicity. Its splen.
did instance Of magnanimity and self.
control on the part Of President Dole
that, out of courtesy to the real senti.
ment Of the American people who are
his sympathizers and his friends, he
consents to accept the overtures Of this
smiling hypocrite and dissembler, in.
stead of following what must be
his natural inclination to kick him Out
of sight. That he has thus far con
quered this prompting of the old Adam
that is in his veins constitutes one ol
the most acceptable compliments he
could have paid to the American
people, indicating as it does his full
sense and appreciation Of their mora
support; and his adequate comprehen
sion Of the temporary accident anC
misfortune which have entrusted with
executive authority q president who
could find it in his soul to plot and
palaver with a savage and bloodthirsty
eX-queen, against a new and strug
Cling experiment Of patriots bent or
establishing a democracy similar t
our own.

COMPLAINT is again made at the un-
due liberties which certain senators
have recently taken with the text OF
the speeches which they had "held out
for revision" AS revised In the Con-
gressional Record they differ mater
tally from the form in which they
were spoken; and the so-called Record
is simply made to belle its name. This
is not honest, however convenient and
consoling ii may be; and the sooner
the newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington riddle that sort of pretcnce the
sooner will the guilty senators be re-
stored topublic respect. We say news
paper correspondents, because they
appear to be the only honest class left

are brought at last to the conclusion that
the cost of street traffic, largely in cities
OF more than 100000 population, can be
reduced SlS7 OPS, lS3 a year, or Sl,SIO,25l, =
S32 in ten years. which, with interest at
the rate OF 8 per cent. per annum, would
make total saving in u decade of 81, 963, :
S04, 1890, which would pay for 4s, Ol4
miles OF street paving at cost of s27o, UOO
mile.
1t is possible that this estimate is
exaggerated; but even with liberal dis
counts deducted it remains strong
argument in favor of better paving.
The experience of all communities
where paving Improvements have been
adopted has been such that while we
hear much talk of increasing the I'M
provements, we never hear expressions
of regret that Improvements were
made, Good streets are economical,
us we'll as convenient and agreeable.

That other women viewed her dress with

And thought up dishes that he liked, that
were not indigestible.
She listened to the jokes he sprung and

She did not drag him off to call when he
WAS quite undragnbe,
And when he had II nervous 1T her tongue
was quite unwagable.
She brushed him up, she brushed him
down, and kept him spick and span
able,
And showed him why the schemes he
planned were not always quite plan
able
But she had no ear for music and her mind
was quite unbookable,
And when 1t came to beauty, why, she
wasn't very lookable.
She did not care to go out much. She was

The Maiden, Mass, ''hen case" will 60
hurtling down the corridors of ii me, One
Wakefield Burgess accused his neighbor OF
having poisoned some of Wakensld's choice
chickens by the use of salt. Ia his defense
the ncighbor affirmed that he had put salt
in some weeds ia his yard IN order to kill
them, and that Burgess's hens, having no
right to cross the boundary fence, never
theless did so, pecked at the salted plants
and SO came to their death. Judge Petta-
RilPs decision impresses tho Now York
Tribune as masterly. In the frat place he
laid down the broad general principle that
sat is.not usually classed as II poison
take notice that he did not
rule that it was not and could
under no circumstances be n poison-and
he followed this up with the contention
that the defendant had right to use salt
in order to destroy weeds; then, finally, he
held that 1t was through no fault of the
defendant that Burgess, hens invaded his
grounds and devoured the picked weeds.
Only QUO conclusion was possible from
those premise,--a non-suit for Burgess.
The hen question was settled for Maiden
ana its vicinity by Judge Pettengill's cru
dite nnd comprehensive decision, and he
has undoubtedly established number Of
precedents that will be controlling through
out Massachusetts and possibly in ali parts
OF the country.
