Rural Free Delivery.

Owing to the increased appropriation voted by congress, the postmaster gen. eral is able to maintain the rural free delivery system Tn all the present dis tricts, and also to extend it's benefits considerably during the coming year. This will be done in localities where the service can be established at the least cost and with certainty of rend- ering the best results There are many districts where rural free delivery can be started without extra cost to the government, by the abolition of star routes and minor post offices which will thus be superseded
 These, as far as possible, will be given the preference in the new ar engagements. The success of the sys- tenn, wherever it has been tried is be- yond question. Eventually, it is be- lieved, most of the settled agricultural districts of the country will enjoy these privileges It has been found where roads are reasonably good that the service can be performed most of the year by the use of bicycles. Ger tainly the advantages of the free mail delivery should be an incentive to the improvement of the country roads, and one reason for maintaining them in the best possible condition.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Naval Appropriation Bill as Agreed

THE SENATE.

APRIL 2sTH. Again today the Senate
was in the attitude of waiting for bust
ness to reach it. A few bills of unim-
portant character were passed, but no
business of general interest was trans
acted. Pasco, of Florida, presented
memorials from the floor of the House
concerning the interference with coast
wise trade by the men of-war. Mr..
Pasco said that the matter was becom-
ing serious, as American vessels were
being forced by the conditions existing
to refuse business. He thought the
committee on commerce ought to con-
slider the subject promptly, and the
memorials were referred to that COM
mittee. A joint resolution was passed
directing the Secretary Of War to sub
NIT plans and estimates for the pro-
posed improvement of Hillsboro Bay,
Fla.

Economy of Broad Tires.

The Missouri Experiment Station
(Columbia) recently published an IL
lustrated bulletin describing series
of interesting experiments on the
draught of broad and narrow tired
wagon wheels. The tests were made
with each kind on macadam, gray ell and
dirt roads and on farm fields in all
conditions. The experiments are sum-
married. as follows:
The broad tires pulled materially
lighter on the macadam streets and the
gravel roads; also on dirt roads in all
conditions, except when soft or sloppy
on the surface, underlaid by hard
roadbed, and when the mud was very
deep and sticky. In both these con-
ditions the narrow tires pulled con-
siderably lighter. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that the roads are
in these conditions for comparatively
short period of time, and this at sea-
sons when their use has naturally
been reduced to the minimum. The
tests on meadows, pastures, stubble
land, corn land and ploughed ground
in every condition, from dry, hard and
firm to very wet and soft, show, with
out single exception, large saving
in draft by the use of the broad tires.
The bulk of The hauling done by the
farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed
from the fields and hauling manure
from the barns, etc. The actual ton
mage hauled to markets. insignificant
in comparison with that hauled about
on the farm, inasmlch as large pro-
portion of the products of the average
farm is sent to market in the form of
live stock or its products.-Farm and

Touching State Aid.

When public highways first began
to receive attention their care was dele
gated to those who lived along them,
presumably on the principle that they
were chiefly interested in having pas
sable roads. At later period, as
towns and cities grew up, and travel
increased over the highways with the
development of commerce and the in
terchange of commodities, the wear
and tear became so great that the bur-
den of keeping the main roads in re-
pair was too much to be borne by the
inhabitants of the rural districts.
Macaulay alluded to this fifty years
ago when he wrote his picturesque ac-
count of the condition of England a
hundred and fifty years before. Even
then the inadequacy and injustice of
the plan had become apparent, and it
was gradually realized that a change
must be made. Macaulay says of this:
Zone chief cause of the badness of
the roads seems to have been the de-
fective state of the law. Every parish
was bound to repair the highways
which passed through it. The pea
santry was forced to give gratuitous
labor six days in the year. If this was
not sufficient. hired labor was en-
ployed, and the expense was met by a
parochial rate local tax
"That route connecting two great
towns, which have large and ,thriv-
ing trade with each o.her should be
maintained at the cost of the rural
population scattered between them, is
obviously unjust; and this injustice
was peculiarly glaring in the case of
the great North Road, which traversed
very poor and thinly inhabited dis
tricts, AMI joined very rich and popu-
lous districts. Indeed it was not IN
the power of the parishes of Hunting
donshire to mend highway worn by
the constant traffic between the West
Riding of Yorkshire and London.
eThis might be mistaken for refer
ence to American roads and methods
of to-day. Every year the tendency
to use the public highways for travel
and pleasure becomes greater, while
their use for business purposes is also
steadily increasing. The roads are
becoming more and more used for
through travel, and the proportion of
those who pass over them to those VINO
live along them is becoming greater.
To build and maintain suitable high
ways is an undertaking that involves
expenses, and requires resources, such
as can only be furnished by the States,
and on them devolves responsibility
for promoting the work.. A. W.
