Our Common Roads

The total length of the common roads
in this country. good, bad and indiffer-
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone of the
road bureau of the department of agri-
culture at something over 300, 900 miles.
The majority of these roads have been
opened by common laborers, hired by
local supervisors, and no engineering
principles have been observed in their
construction. AS a result 1t costs more
to keep them in repair than If they wero
as many finely macadamized roads
Keeping these poor roads in repair
and opening new thoroughfares cost
Massachusetts in 1893, outside of cities,
$1.136,944, or $500 per mile; New York.
81, 800, ,000 or $50 per mile and New Jer-
sey, SITS, ,407.S2, or $43.25 peh mile. AS a
greater part Of the enormous sum was
spent in repairing poorly constructed
roads that would need exactly the same
attention next year. it Is not an exag-
geration to say that most of the money
was wasted. Fine roads can be con-
structed all the way from $400 to $500 per
mile, according to the nature of the coun-
try through which they pass, the cost
of crushed stone and other engineering
problems The cost of keeping these
roads in repair is infinitely smaller than
that required to repair the ordinary dirt

orally presumed that he would be elect
ed by the biggest majority ever given a
candidate in California. This majority
was to be rebuke to the meddling
Field and to his railroad friends.
Thousands upon thousands of Demo-
Gratis voted for Waite They threw
their hats in air for him. They made no
secret of their desertion of party and
were not taken to task for it. But when
the votes were counted where was that
overpowering majority? Where was
that mighty rebuke? They were looked
for in vain. Waite was elected, to be
sure, but he barely ran up with his tick
ct. Why?
The railroad merely sent out it's or
ders, and subservient Republicans de-
serted Waite in sufficient numbers to
offset the thousands of enthusiastically
hating Democrats who went over to him.
Now, suppose this rule should be re-
versed in the case of Crocker. Suppose
Huntington should send out his orders
that Crocker must not be defeated.
Does anybody doubt that the Buckleys
and Boggses and Irishes and Motts and
Mitchells ct i'd genus omne would be
found quietly sneaking up and scratch
ing Democratic electors to offset the Re-
publican slump away from Crocker? If
those Democrats who are now so eager
to win the honor,of defeating the Re-
publican railroad man will consider
these things they will see that once they
get the nominations they must watch

America have taken their rise In the
plain east Of the Rocky mountains and
passed in an easterly direction across
the United States, in a few cases ex-
tending across the Atlantic to Europe.
In the southern hemisphere the storms
take the opposite course from that taken
by those north of the equator. Sudden
changes in the course of storms some-
times occur as in the case of that which
swept st. Louis, the great European
storm of 1898 furnishing another notable
example. 4A
The progressive speed varies from
fifteen to forty miles an hour, and the
rotary motion of the wind around the
center of the storm varies from sixty to
eighty miles an hour and in extreme
cases reaches 120 miles an hour.
That electricity plays an active part
in the atmospheric disturbances is be-
yond doubt, but although science has
been able to evolve heat, light and power
from the energy of this mysterious force
and the lightning rod has a recognized
value as q protector of cities and towns
from the violent manifestations which
dash everything into a confused mass
before them, the inventor who can pro-
vide such defense will benefit buman-

KATE FIELDS CAREER

For what she achieved and for what
she had undertaken without living to
accomplish, Kate Field is historical
American character.
The shame of polygamy might still
blacken the face of the republic but for
Kate Field. The institution" had re-
sisted every assault upon it's fastness.
Congressional attempts to wipe it out
by statute had repeatedly been made
and repeatedly had failed. Executive
manipulation of territorial affairs had
been applied unsuccesSfully to detach
federal patronage from it's adherents.
So long as the movement for it's abolition
proceeded from either sectarianism or
political party, it was ineffectual. The
Saints We're intrenched in their last
stronghold, and its distance, it's isola-
ton, its self-reliance, its accumulated
traditions and superstition had heaped
up around it Notifications that We're ap-
parently invulnerable. Kate Field went
to Utan as q tourist. She came back an
apostle.
Her crusade against polygamy was
carried on in the press with eXtraordi-
nary viSor. 1t was ON the platform her
power became a national force for the
cause to which she had dedicated nat
urally great gifts, heightened by broad
and liberal culture and rendered more
winning by perfect dignity of deport-
ment combined with a clear voice. n
formed out of more characteristic one
too suggestive of pedantry and affecta-
ton, and with a certain magnetism in
which the Srotesque, the pathetic and
the tragic were made to play each its
own subtle part. She told what she saw.
what she heard from lips that were silent
at home; she depicted the Mormon
mothers, the households that were living
tonbS for the unfaYored wives. hierar
chies for the preferred concubines Her
eloquence simple, but cogent, scientific
in its ingenuity of detail and pictur-
esque in its dramatic accessories of an
ecdote, picture portrait, episode. made
pro ound impression, slowly put con-
Vineingly, upon the country The Times
Herald repeats that to Kate Field more
than to any man or to any other woman
is due extirpation of American polyg-
amy.
Kate Fields second claim to histori-
cal rank is her service to American art.
1T has been difficult to eradicate from
the superficial intelligence of American
politicians of all parties the stupidity
that art is luxury for the rich onlv:
that wealth alone is concerned about
pictures and statuary, and that. there
Iore, heaVy duty should be laid upon
them at the custom-house There was
time When such an argument held
good against books. Indeed, there was
a time when such an argument was valid
against the alphabet Only the rich
could afford to buy books before the |
printing press cheapened their manu- |
facture. Only the aristocracy at one per |
iod in the development of the world
could indulge in the luxury of the al !

FRED CROCkER FOR
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR

Democrats have been marveling at
the number of honest patriots who have
expressed modest Willingness to pose
as presidential electors on the state
ticket this year. Ordinarily these places
are thrown as a sop to disappointed ones
or are used as balm for lacerated self
esteem
But this year is rush to get on.
1t is all because of Colonel Fred
Crocker.
This doesn't mean that Colonel Fred
has been urging his Democratic friends
to offer themselves, nor that he has been
dealing out Transportation" to acceler-
ate the progress toward fame of small
ambitions. But there is an idea burst
ing in many brains that Colonel Fred
may be used as stepping stone to a
mighty fame.
California has dropped into the habit
or beating one man on the successful
electoral ticket. The Democratic idea
is that this year Crocker is to be the Re-
publican sacrifice, offered up on the altar
of railroad hate. Should the state go
Republican,; should Colonel Fred be
slaughtered; should some Democrat de-
feat him for elector-that Democrat
would be notable man in his party
would be in position to ask for recog-
nition; would be able to demand divis-
ION or any spoils. Hence the rush.
Men are loosely saying about the
streets that Crocker will run 10. 900 votes
behind his ticket. If so, it will require
a tidal wave higher than the railroad
building to roll him up to a safe landing
place. popular Democrat could un-
doubtedly defeat him on any such fig
ures. But the eager ones had better
pause and reflect before donning their
medals of success and pluming them
selves for parade up the line of honor
Undoubtedly lot of Republicans will
scratch Crocker. The railroads bureau
for the creation of enemies has worked
up such feeling Of opposition in the
state that railroad badge is bad han
dicap. But a great deal is going to de-
pend on old c. z. Huntington in the mat
ter.
Huntington hates Crocker. Conse-
quently Herrin doesn't like Crocker
Neither does Mills. Crocker selected
Steve Gage as his factotum when rail-
Caaa roau politics 1oa, were placed in his hands.
Gage gave off that awful interview
which kept Herrin and Mills awake in
their wrath so long. So it is within the
possibilities that Huntington and Her
rim and Mills would be more than glad
10 see little Colonel Freddie get a good
oldTfashioned sailing from the enraged
people. In such case, there is no telling
how deep the snow would fall over his
bowed, repentant head
but suppose Huntington should get It
into his noddle that the railroads power
was being put in the balance. Suppose
ne should decide to sink his private en-
nifty for the company success Suppose
ne should issue orders to save Colonel
Fred at any cost. That might make the
path of the ambitious Democratic elec-
tors harder one than they now expect
to travel.
Not many years ago that now fading
incubus on the Democratic party Steph-
en- j. Field, interfered with the federal
ambitions Of e. G. Waite because that
gentleman had dared to write an honest
biography of David s. Terry. This
made Waite martyr and a hero. The
Republicans took him up and nominated
him for secretary Of state. It was gen.

HabitsOf CycIonea

Atmospheric disturbances have fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession
within the last fortnight, producing un-
told havoc and ruin in Texas, Kansas,
Iowa. and Illinois, and now comes the
story of fearful disaster in st. Louis,
which is the first city of any size in
American to suffer from such a catas
trophe. The frequency of occurrence
of these storms, which are in their ma
ture tornadoes rather than cyclones,
points out field for experiment in the
invention of a storm arrestor to combat
these disturbances and divert or weaken
their force.
All winds are caused directly or indi-
rectly by the changes of temperature,
the warm air rising and the colder at
mosphere rushing in to supply it's place,
and various theories have been ad-
vanced concerning the formation and
subsequent movements of storms. BY
the rotary, or cyclonic theory, storms
are considered to revolve around an
axis either upright or inclined to the
horizon, while at the same time the body
of the storm has a progressive move
ment over the surface of the EARTH One
of the ablest advocates of this theory
claims that storms are eddieS formed
by the junction of counter currents of
atmosphere. The centripetal theory, ad-
vanced by other scientists, is that the
wind blows from every direction to-
wards the center of the storm. and that
the heat generated by concentration is
responsible for the disturbance.
The direction of the progressive mo-
tion of storms varies in different local
tiles, being governed by the direction Of
the prevailing winds, but in the north
ern hemisphere the path generally fol-
lowed is from the southwest toward the
northeast. Only in few instances have
storms been found to travel toward the
west, and very frequently curve Is
made toward the east as the storms ad-
vance. This curvature has been ac-
counted for by the rotary motion Of the
earth. Most Of the storms of North
