WHAT BAD ROADS COST,
Interesting Result OF Rn Investigation by

Interesting Result OF Rn Investigation by
the Government.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov 27.-The
office of road inquiry of the department
of agriculture has completed an inter
esting investigation relating to the use
of common roads of the United States
Returns have been received from about
L2OO counties, showing the average
length OF haul from farms to markets
Tor shipping points to be ~ miles, the
average weight OF load for two horses
being 2,002 pounds; the average cost per
ton per mile, rs cents, or So for the en-
tire haul, Estimating the farm prod
uct at 2l9,624,227 tons In weight and
making estimates on other articles car
ried over the public roads, It Is calcula-
ted that the aggregate expense OF this
transportation in the United States Is
SsI6, ,s65 per annum, Reports have
been asked from the United States con-
suls abroad OF the expense OF hauling
where the roads are good, so as to rem
der possible a calculation which will
show how much Of this vast outlay is
due to bad roads. The estimate 10 ven
tured, however. upon information in
the office, counting loss Of time In
reaching markets, the enforced idleness
and the wear and tear Of live stock and
hauling machinery, caused by poor
roads. that two-thlrds OF the cost might
be saved by an Improvement Of the
roads.

Says the Chicago Tribune: Among
the strange condolences OF. history
none is stranger than that now present.
ed IN Maryland, where a man named
Bonaparte is fighting for the senator
ship against man named Welllnton.
And It looks as ifwaterloo were gongto
be avenged" Stranger then the coin
cldence of names is the fact that Mr.,
Bonaparte is closely related to that
great soldier and bad man who gave
Europe the nightmare, His grand
father was that brother Of the corsiean
adyenturer who came to this country,
married the accomplished Betsy Pat
terson, of Baltimore, and basely per-
mitted her to be divorced from him at
the command OF Napoleon.
Mr.. Charles j. Bonaparte referred to
by the Tribune. is one of the leading
lawyers of Baltimore. AS a man no
citizen OF Maryland stands higher In
the recent campaign he did splendid
service in behalf of an honest registra-
ton and fair vote. We are not aware
that Mr.. wellington is in any way re-
lated to the great English soldier OF
that name, but in politics he has shown
himself a general of courage and re-
source who knows how to win battles.
The senatorial contest in Maryland
has not developed enough to make 1t
look las though Waterloo were going to
be avenged" The field invites any
knight who will to enter and break a
lance. Fortunately the Republican
party in Maryland has an abundance
OF good senatorial material.

There have been few political fights in

He now makes public a letter In which

to the Republican party,
In u letter to A. s. Caldwell, secretary
Of the congressional committee, he ass

President Cleveland will be thankful
that he has had two pulls at It.

Reform In tho House of Representatives.
one who for the first time visits the
house of representatives in session is
not favorably impressed. Few MEM
beers seem to be paying any attention to
what is going on. A member may be
speaking. 1t would be at least polite
to pretend to listen to him. While he
speaks other members move about,
visit each other, read the morning
papers, display their feet on the desks,
do anything but listen.
1t is n great time for letter-wrlting'
There are members who do little else
than write letters while the house is In
session. Few members except the lead.
ers keep IN touch with what Is going on.
When a vote is to be taken the inatten-
tive ones must ask what it is they are
voting on, or content Themselves with
following their leader The business Of
the house is greatly delayed because
members are not attending 1t.
IT has long been recognized that the
deBks are the chief cause of the trouble.
It is now proposed to remove the desks,
provide seats only and bring the mcm-
beers ciocer together. The plan Is to d.
vide tho present hall Of the house into
three rooms, the central room to be the
hall Of the house, and a room on each
side to be used for consultation.
1t is gratifying to know that many
members IRE in favor Of the change.
It will be still more gratifying when
the desks shall have been taken out

"A pinel.y Woman'a Fight

Mrs. Getz, OF 81, Louis, Is in a fair
way 10 become famous through treat
ment which IS hardly LESS than infa-
nous. Mrs Getzs husband, an insur-
ance agent, died, leaving the widow a
family to support. Mr.. Getz worked for
a firm of Hirsehbergs, with whom he
had contract stipulating that In the
event OF his death his business was TO
be taken up by his wife.
The Hirschbergs have done what
they could 10 carry out in good faith
their part OF the contract, They asked
the board OF FIRE underwriters to admit
Mrs. Gets to membership. This the
underwriters would not do, but finally
they expelled the Hirschbergs for their
persistency. The refusal is all the
more remarkable because a committee
OF the board reported after inquiry
that Mrs. Getz was proper person to
be, admitted to membership and recon-
mended her admission.
There is nothing against Mrs, Getz
except that she is q woman. In the
mean, unmanly view Of the fire under
writer's of st. Louis a woman should
moi, be allowed to support herself and
her family in the insurance business
At all hazards that buslhess must be
reserved for men-there are other
things woman can do.
II is gratifying to know that this ca
pable woman is getting on without the
underwriters. She does not need them
iniher business. The insurance COM
panies represented by the Hirschbergs
are standing by her and so is the in
surfing public. She is doing rushing
trade and can snap her fingers at the
spiteful underwriters.
The sense OF fair play has been
aroused in st. Louis and the response
is about what 1t would be anywhere in
this country in like case. Every real
man admires real woman who has
the pluck to assert a natural right and
the.brains to go through in triumph
Is absurd to suppose that in his
message the President will say that he
has not quite made up his mind about
