VIOLA SAYINGS.

Mrs. Geo. CrettS is expected to arrive
In few days from Omaha.
John G. BOnWeIl has been making
some good improvements on his farm
in the way of three hundred and sixty
rods of woven fence.
Wills Fingry has about one hundred
tons Of hay that he can spare now to
farmers since the recent bountiful
rains and prospects Of plenty yet to
come assures a good hay crop this sea-
son. Wills laid in good supply OF all
kinds of feed last fall costing $4,000.
After careful observation for several
weeks it is generally conceded that
Jennie Oliver is one of the pluckiest of
plucky school ma'amE. She teaches the
Praine Hall school, the largest in Viola
township. Each Monday morning she
comes from her home in melville town
ship, distance of ten miles, and it has
been her lot in every instance but one
to face pelting rain storm but she is
promptly at her post an hour before
school time. Jenny is teaching a good
school in Az intellectual community
which is giving her hearty and cordial
support.
Did you say there was to be another
drouth? Well we rather think not the
rains came thicker and faster, the

Many of our readers know what it means to be debarred from church or social privileges for weeks at time on account of the roads, and more than one earnest, hard-working pastor knows that the low-spirited condition Of his church is due as much to bad reads as to other causes. Qndeed, don't know but road making mlght be incorporated into some practical ser mon, and am sure it might well come within the limits of home missionary discussions and work
 We have seen business lag; have had our children kept at home from school, all for nothing but bad roads. Now what shall we do about the matter? Surely as women we need to do some serious thinking on this subject; for usually with woman to think is to plan, and to plan is to execute. Shall we have better roads?-Clara Sensi- baugh Everts, in Farm, Field and Fire side.

CONVENTION OF FARMERS Growing interest in Its
 Session. Will Be the First of It's Kind
 in Arizona. Addresses to Be Delivered by Ex- perts in All Matters
 Agricultural.

The convention of farmers, fruit Phoenix on the 18th and 18th of this month, promises to be a very import ant meeting There has never yet been a farmers institute or terri torial gathering of agriculturists in Arizona, and the interest apparent respecting the first one shows full well that it is high time that such 8 gathering should convene. The meet ing cannot but result in the disseni- nation of much valuable information among the farming fraternity, as some of the men of long residence in the territory are to relate their eEperi- ences in the various agricultural oc- equations, and the members of the staff of the agricultural experiment station of the university of Arizona are to be present and take part in the discussions upon both the scientific and practical sides of the questions.
 Among the topics to be discussed are the following: 'The Measure ment of Water, 'The Economic Use of Water" Water Distribution, , "AlkaH in Soil and Water,' ''Irriga- tion of Different Crops" Adaptation of the Water Supply of Arizona to Farming" Cattle Feeding" Dairy Advantages of the Salt River Valley, , Fruit Culture,'' ''The Prevention of Blight" Citrus Fruits" Economic Insects 'Canaigre," "The Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, D ''The University of Arizona" Figs y Peaches" Grapes" Pears ''Prun- ing Fruit Trees" Fruits of Eastern Markets "Cultivation vs. Irriga- tion," Economic Fungi 'Improv- ing Fruits, Storage Reservoirs, D "A Reference Library" and others.
 Among the speakers announced are the following: W. s. Johnson, of Mesa; Judge c. w. Grouse, of Phoenix; Prof. F. A. Gully, of Phoenix; D. s. Thomas, of Arizola; A. s. Clough, of Prescott; Alfred c. Lockwood, of Glendale; F. A. Hough, of Tempe; J. M McMillan, of Gila Bend; Wm. H. Hardy, Kingman; H. H. Logan, of Phoenix; Geo. H. Smith, of Phoenix; J. s. Tait, of Phoenix; President Bill man, of the university: Governor Hughes and Professors Boggs, Devol, Tourney and Forbes, of the experi- ment station staff, and others, each of whom will present one or more papers or addresses. It is certainly an array of men of experience and talent well worth going to hear.
 There is to be an opportunity for discussion and interchange of ideas upon each topic brought before the convention, and besides, there will be a question box in which any prsent will have an opportunity to present any query which may suggest itself to him.

SENSIBLE MRS. EvERTS.
She Tells Why Women Should Advocate
 Better Country Roads.

She Tells Why Women Should Advocate
 Better Country Roads.
 Was ever a reform agitated and moved forward to success in which women were not either the leaders or else that power behind the throne" which steadily and quietly melted the aggressive ones, helping on to victory? So in the present movement, or rather feeling, prevailing the entire country concerning good roads, women must help if the sentiment being manifested is ever to eliminate into any decided action that will prove advantageous. Usually we leave road making and kindred things entirely to the men. What is the result? In what condition are our roads?
 While there is not a woman in the lard that is not more or less affected by the condition of the roads, those re- siding in rural districts and small towns are the ones most interested, and so such especially is this little article written, ill the hope of causing them to think on the subject, and to decide what their responsibility in the matter is.
 While women cannot go onto the road and work with shovel and grader. they can do effective work in other ways. They can think and plan for others to execute, which is, after all, the highest kind of generalship. They can by united effort so use their in- fluence that only the best posted men shall be elected for road supervisors. They can agltate the subject at home and abroad, helping father. husband, brothers and neighbors to see what is needed Ill making better roads. They cal have the question: discussed in the public schools, thus interesting even the children and teaching them to think and plan for Improvement. They can briug it before the Institute, the alliance, the literary and debating cIuEs, as well as women's clubs.
 Who has not had their business or social plans sadly marred or entirely ruined by bad roads? While in remote districts more than one life has gone out, more than one soul passed over into the mysterious beyond, because bad roads prevented obtaining medical aid.

prise and in technical ability, but in those
sounder ideas of civic. and social, and
moral order. of which the greatest ma
tons have yet 80 much to learn
I do not forget the fine disdain which ex-
lists among Us in certain quarters toward the
scholar in politics." nor the impatience of
| his criticisms. But the scholar, happily for
the betterment OF the State however little
the ringnasters officeholders happen to like
it, persists in obtruding himself into poll
tics, as into all other burning questions and
turns the eye OF his pitileSs lantern of truth
upon partisan leaders and placemen with
equal and searching impartality.'
And then the Bishop asks if we have
ever thought what would become of us
if the scholar did not thus obtrude him
self? Have we ever thought what ignor-
lous lust of power, would do with the
Republic if it were not for some clear
voice of warning, which. from time to
time, lifts its penetrating note. names the
insolent defer of the eternal equities,
paints the infamy of bis conduct, and
pursues him with relentless denuncia-
ton?
We think that the Bishop does not need
to entertain fear that the American peo-
pie are unaware of all this, or that they
fail to respect learning, or that they have
any disposition to reject the educated
man from political councils. On the
contrary it has been complaint and not
without reason that the scholarly men
have greatly held themselves aloof from
political activities, and that they have not
come out into the arena of practical
civics as they should. Of course the
fearless leader is that much better
equipped for his task because of his wide
reading of history, his habits of deep
thinking and the finer training Of his
mental powers. The people know all
this and respect the truth. They are not
contemptuous of learning in politics,
rather they will and do welcome the
scholar whenever he gets out of his
thinking long enough to give the people
the benefit of his thought from the
rostrum, the stump, OK in monographs
in the reviews.

The RECORD UNION in the original
article of this debate said, that as rule
inferior material is considered available
for the Legislature, and that this is es-
pecially true of the younger element sent
to the Legislature in California. That
Express contends, proves our case still
more. OF course the fixing of an arbi-
tlary age of qualification would be no
guarantee Of better material. but it would
at least be an assurance that the inca
pacity would not be the result and col
experience.

clear that the Government itself does not
recognize its own stamp when it comes
to paying out the money. It keeps a
volume of silver money in circulation by
agreeing to take it, and when this policy
has impoverished the Treasury, it Dor
rows gold to carry on the Government:
and for loans SO effected it gives it's bonds
bearing five per cent. interest. Thus the
Government demonetized silver, bastard
lied it as it were. and now repudiates
its parentage by refusing to recognize it
as money with which the public debt of
the country can be discharged.
The one thing certain, therefore, is that
in 1873 silver was repudiated as a primary
money; money of redemption; money In
the sense of possessing the quality of
self-redemption; money possessing in
itself the intrinsic value declared by it's
face. So far as silver ia concerned, all
these attributes of money were elimi-
mated. In all times it has been
canon of sound money that the only Of
fee the stamp performs is to officially
declare the weight and ineness of the
metal, and thereby declare its value. So
the true meaning Of a stamp in all times
has been that the stamp is the declaration
of the intrinsic value of the thing
stamped. The stamp proceeds from the
value Of the coin, not the value of the
coin from the stamp. This is the very
orthodoxy of sound money. But the one
thing certain is that the Government is
attempting 10 declare value in the silver
coinage which it does not possess. Thus
credit money is stamped upon a costly
article.
We recur again to the question, Why
was this done? What purpose was to be
accomplished by the class of people who
secured this lie gslation? What were they
aiming at when the legislation itself was
asked for, and what was accomplished
when the legislation was achieved? If
nothing; made no change: had no influ-
ence upon the price of the products of
industry, or the rate of wages for labor;
in short, if everything is just as it would
have been; if the demonstration of sill
yer has not enriched one class and i'm
poverished another, then why was there
any legislation at all on the subject in
1878?
When some friend of the gold standard
will give us perfectly clear exposition
of what was sought to be accomplished
by abolishing silver as a money OF re-
demption-what the intention was in the
Congressional mind which led to the
change from the silver to the gold stand
ard-we will at last have an Ineligible
standpoint from which to view the whole
situation.

Straw Hats of Wood.

A Massachusetts inventor has patented
a machine which is supplied with fine
planning teeth. a log of wood cut square
is fed to it, and when the log passes
through it has furnished hundred strips
OF wood much resembling excelsior
Their length, of course, is that of the log
1t is claimed that these when moistened
can be woven much more readily than
straw and make as durable hat.
The Inventor says it is twice as light as
straw, and that, because of it's easier ma
nipulation and cheaper cost, it will SUPER
sede the straw now used for the construc-
ton of headgear. Even women's Leg
horn hats and the finest Panamas may
become possible for those who cannot
afford them now.

taking place, by the fluctuations of GER
tain delicate instruments over a strip of
paper. That the movements of the earth
could thus transmit themselves lnstan-
taneously. registering, as it were, across
the Mediterranean and nearly the whole
of France more quickly than telegraph
message could have been sent, was
thought hardly plausible. But it can
well be believed now, in view of recent
more marvellous demonstration of the
self-registering of an earthquake much
further away.
Within an hour from the time it COM
menced the late earthq uake in Japan had
revealed itself 20 the instruments of the
Roman College. The oscillations of the
earth outlined themselves on q single
sheet of paper clearly and distinctly,
showing plainly that there were five sep
arate "distur Dances" of varying force.
recent scientific reports that have just
como from the Japanese Empire confirm
the accuracy of the instruments OF the
Roman College in most remarkable
manner. The practical part OF the dis
covery ls tina, the approach of an earth
quake may be told with little chance of
error. though it must be confessed that
the instruments give no hint of direction,
nor do they indicate the starting point
instruments of this character were at
Nicolaien and CharkOw, cities in the CEN
trail part OF Russia, and here the Japanese
earthquake mentioned was registered
even more plainly, the distance in this
case from its seat being fully 1850 miles.
The instruments in these towns were
carefully watched at this time and they
were seen to oscillate and mark the trem-
blIngs OF the earth for over an hour.
One of the most remarkable of modern
inventions, indeed, is this seismograph,
which was invented by Bertelli, the
Father of Earthquakes" The most
valuable evidence of it's practical benefit
TO mankind was in 1883, when the sensi-
tive machine gave warning of an erup-
ton of Mout Etna. Up to this time. how
ever, it has only been valuable for fore
telling shocks comparatively near at
hand. The long-distance instances re-
corded above are the first in the history
Of the seismograph.
