Lieut. John NJ. Eflicott, L. S. NJ, con-
tributes to ST. Nicholas an article about
lighthouses, which he calls The Lights
That Guide in the Night" Lieut.. Eli
colt says: One seldom thinks, when he
watches the brightly cheering and safe
ly guiding light of u lighthouse, what
ceaseless watching and patient hero:sm
it takes to Keep the light burning year
in and year out through all weathers.
Generally there is for each light only
keeper with two assistants, and often
the keeper is assisted only by his wife,
sons or daughters. Even the most COM
fortably, situated lighthouses are gem
orally on lonely headlands, with no hui
man dwellings near. Others are on out
lying rocks, or islands swept by the
sea, and wholly cut of from land ex-
cept in fair weather. There are even a
few which, built upon sunken reefs,
seem to rise from the very bed of the
ocean, and against which storm-driven
seas break with shocks which shake
them to their foundationse Such are
the Eddystone lighthouse, of the coast
of England at the entrance to the Eng
.lIsh channel, and our own Minots
Ledge light, near the entrance to Bos,
ton harbor. These two are the most
isolated and exposed lighthouses in the
world. They were built at the utmost
peril to human life. Each was swept
away by storms after completion, and
had to be rebuilt.

should be lost in making the neces.
sary repairs. From there to town the
road is in good condition.
Bsides the place mentioned above
there are great many chuck holes
that should be graded down and filled
up. Supervisor johnson is doing
good work in his district. but his
force is so small and the distance he
has to cover so great that it is utterly
impossible for him to do the work
that is necessary to place the road
in decent condition for travel. He
has built new bridges over Penrod
Creek and the Owyhee and graded
good approaches. He has done ex-
cellent work and has the gratitude of
all the teamsters. The same can be
said of supervisor IIarrah's work at
Pie creek.
The Commissioners at their next
meeting should take immediate steps
to put the Sold Creek road in a de-
cent condition whatever the expense
may be. AS it Is now, the men who
are hauling freight over it are in
constant danger OF breaking their
wagons and killing their horses. These
mon are taxpayers and have a right
demand that the county keep the
roads they are compelled to travel
over in good co.. 'tlon Should
heavily loaded wagon tip over while
going around the grade near Gold
Creek the chances are that the team
ster would lose his life. Should this
happen any amount Of censura would
be heaped on the Commissioners for
their negligence in not placing the
road 10 decent condition. Thew
should not stand on the expense of

necessary work immediately and
economically regardless Of the

Senator Lodge on the Last Election.

In the January number OF the North
American Repieto an attempt is made by
Senator HENRY CABOT LODGE to elicit the
social, moral. and economical Significance
OF the votes cast for President last Novem-
Der. This he has done by a series Of tables
showing the percentage of illiteracy, Of
forelgn-born inhabitants. of wealth and of
population in the Mckinley States, on the
one hand, and in the Bryan States OF the
other. The results are remarkable.
For the purpose Of this inquiry the Sen
ator leaves out OF sight the electoral col
leges, which, however, as 1t Is well known,
gave Mr.. MCKINLEY a great majority. He
confines himself to the popular vote, aud
begins by pointing out that Mr.. MCKINLEY
received the largest plurality and the largest
majority over all, ever given to u President
since 1872, when GRANT defeated GREELEY.
With regard to the latter case, we are re-
minded hat In 1879 the full Republican
vote Of the South was still polled, and that
the Democratic vote did not come out. Ifthis
single election be omitted, it appears that
Mr.. MCKINLEY received the largest plural
ity ever obtained by a President since JAMES
MONROE was elected for a second term,
when he had no opposition. Mr.. MCkIN-
LEY received n majority Of about $50, 900
over all; and the magnitude OF this victory
is brought into stronger relief when w bear
in mind that, beginning with JAMES X.
POLK, we have had eight Presidents chosen
by a minority Of the popular vote; and es-
pecially when we recall that, in the case Of
CLEVELAND, this minority was over $780,
900 in 1884, and nearly $50, 600 In 1892.
We pass to the tables showing the per-
centage of illiteracy and Of forcign-born in
hab!tants. These prove that the heaviest
vote for MCKINLEY and against the revo-
lutionary programme, was cast In the States
where the average OF illiteracy was lowest.
From this fact the inference is drawn by
Senator LODGE that the public schools not
only teach people how to vote in~telligently,
but also teach them how to vote rightly on
fundamental questions, having imbued
them with the strongest American senti-
ments. The tables show, also, that the per-
| centage of foreign-born persons was consider
| ably larger In the Mckinley States, the fig
ures being so. 90 against 20.a o The SEN
ator is undoubtedly justified In the deduc-
