Immediately proceed the surveyors
over the entire route of the state way
on road to be built through the cen
trail part of The state. The road
passes through vast but little ex-
pored mineral region, and such a
search is certain to reveal many rich
finds. Being, as they will, on the
direct line of the state highway, their
value will be greatly augmented.
The men will be paid regular wages
and everything found will belong to

Rapid river placer developments of
last fall will give remarkable impe-

winter closed everything indicated
that the opening of new ground
would disclose some vast and valu-

if he would pay off the note he could

he could sell them and retain the

There was no ground for suspicion that
he meditated a coup d'etat or was plot
ting to continue himself in office after
the expiration of his constitutional term.
quite the opposite, for he had publicly
announced that because of i'll health. he
should not stand for reelection. Nor
did the assassin have any personal griev-
ance against the President. There was
no fancled wrong that Santo had nursed
until his mind had become unbalanced.
HE murder was the outgrowth pure
and simple of a doctrine that teaches
that all government is tyranny and that
the taking off of ruler is step in the
progress toward liberty which to men
like Santo is synonymous with license.
The stab that sent Carnot to his death
was aimed at social order, and its design
was to throw France into confusion and
anarchy that the enemies of social order
might have free scope to indulge their
passion for pillage and destruction.
Luckily the republic is too firmly es
tablished to be toppled over by this
startling and hideous assassination.
fortunately the friends of royalty are
too few and too feeble to take advant-
age of the temporary confusion that
this crime may create to tear down the
Republic and set up the empire For
tunately the army is loyal to the Repub-
lie, and can be relied. upon to sternly
repress any attempt at insurrection on
the part of the anarchistic and commun-
lstlc classes. Able men devoted to the
republic are plenty in France to take
the helm and guide the ship of State
in safety. CARROTS death will fill every
loyal Frenchman with horror, it will
shock the whole civilized world, but
though the President be dead the gov
eminent of France will still live, and
the ultimate effect of the crime will be
to repress with sterner measures the doc
trines that precipitated it.

The Spread of English,

The rapid spread of English is largely
to be attributed to the simplicity OF it's
grammar, which is less complicated than
that of and other Western nation. Its
marked poverty of infections, as dis
tinguished, for example, from the Ger
man, is great point in it's favor, and
thus 1t is much easier for German to
learn English than for an Englishman
or American to learn German. On the
other hand the extraordinary ortho-
graphic Inconsistency of the language is
a decided drawback, and there is little
doubt that if English were written on
phonetic principles, as Spanish or Ger
man, it's spread would be much more
rapid, to say nothing of the great boon
this would be to the Anglo-Saxons them
selves, who spend years of unnecessary
toll in learning to read and write their
own language.
1t is not likely, however, that any
change will be made in this direction in
the near future, at least in England for
the English as a nation are noted for
their conservative habits, and, although
they recognize the great advantages of a
phonetic system, are in no hurry to

must probably be looked for to America,
where few innovations have been al
ready introduced. Thus, the spelling
"vigor," favor" honor" ETC., are

etc. Other more recent forms, as PRO

four great branches, as follows: O) The

The kidnapping and tarring and feath-
ering of Attorney General Iarsney of
Colorado could hardly have happened at
the place and under the circumstances it
did had it not been connived at by some of
the officers of the law. The motive of
it was probably to punish him for the
part he took in the controversy between
the militia and the deputy sheriffs dur
ing the Cripple Creek mining trouble,
though precisely what he did to incur
enmity SO deep as to lead to such an
outrageous attack as was made upon
him is not made clear by the dispatches.
The villains who kidnapped him will
doubtless be caught if the law officers
want to catch them, but of that there
is some doubt. OF course there is snoth-
ing to be said in extenuation of this
outrage, but it is altogether probable
that the spirit of lawlessness that has
been encouraged by Gov. Waite is partly
responsible for this attack upon his at
torney general.

THE ASSASSINATION OF cARNoT.

The killing OF the President of the
French Republic was deliberate, inten-
tional murder without the slightest ex-
cuse. 1t sometimes happens that the as
sassination of a ruler admits of some ex-
tenuation. The victim may have been a
despot crushing his subjects beneath an
iron heel. By his military power he may
have deprived his subjects of God-given
rights and goaded them to madness by
his prosecutions. But none of these ex-
tenuating conditions existed in the case
of Carnot. He was ruler elected by the
people, serving in an Office to which he
had the clearest sort of title and using
his power within constitutional limits
for the benefit of the people of France.
