Does the Course of Empire Pay?

1t is question whether empire
pays in hard cash. Estimating the
cost of the Boer war to the British
at 100000, 900, Il small figure, the
Boston Herald finds that "the out
lay will far more than absorb all the
profit made IN Il year by the bust
ness men of the United Kingdom on
the exports of British products to all
the colonies and dependencies of the
British crown reckoned together. F"
And how is it as to the venture of
the United States in the Philippines ,
We paid Spain $4,000, 900, and
have been spending money ever
since at the rate of $1,000, 900 Il
month to conquer and subjugate the
unfinished war that we bought of
Spain. For the five years ending
with 1897 exports of American
products to the Philippines averaged
the trifle of $4,000 year, while
our imports from the Philippines
averaged $6,ooo,ooo a year. We
are paying more every month Tor
our military expenditures out there
than the money value of the entire
commerce of the United States with
the Philippines for any given year.

How to Cure Burns,

A great deal of unnecessary suffering
ia endured in this world, and much of
1t is caused by burns and scalds There
is simple relief for such accidents,
which will prove invaluable if properly
applied An application Of common
whiting and OIL or water if oil cannot
be obtained will draw tho fire out Of
the burn or scald and give immediate
relief. Make the ingredients into a
paste and lay it over the part affected,
covering it with some old linen and cot

soothing and at the same time best Of

CLUBBING LIST.
STATE AID FOR ROADS.
II Has Solved the Problem Of Road
Improvement.

Il Has Solved the Problem of Road
Improvement.
The improvement of country ruahs--
the principal arteries Of commerce and
travel-has not kept pace with the de-
velopment of transportation facilities
by rail and water. says Otto Posrer in
Forum. The country road seems tc
have been a stercE;,d of legislatures.
Its construction ana Improvement have
been left almost entirely in the hands of
the farmer, and the rural district Is not
equal to the occasion. Road building
requires method and system. Il cunsid-
cradle investment Of funds judiciUus
6nanciering. careful economy and, above
all. scientific knowledge The farmer
too often fails to bring any uf these es-
eentials into his rad b1ilding efforts.
"Working out the road tax is general
~ farce. Our average country high
ways are little better today than they
were ut the close OF tn civil war.
The present losses from bad roads in
the United States Ire enormous. Inve1-
LEGATIONS made in LOO counties
throughout the country by the Unihsl
States Office OF road inquiry show that
the average load of crops drawn to mar
ket in the United States weighs ?, 003
pounds - practically ton - varying
from 1897 pounds in some states to
3, 400 pounds in others. Collateral in
vestigations of tho Office made through
United States consuls abroad show the
average load of crops hauled in Europe
to be upward of tons In the consular
district of Munich, Germany. the aver
age load is 81 tons, and in that Of
Hanover. it is practically 6 tons, a load
which good team there can haul for
an all day trip. Let us assume that loads
Of farm produce in this country are one
half or one-third of what they are in
Europe. and some conception may be
formed Of the enormous waste of effort
IN hauling them. The road inquiry office
states the cost Of hauling to be 25 cents
per ton per mile in the United States,
while reports from our consuls show it
to be only g. cents per ton per mile in
Europe. u trife more than one-third Of
what it is with u.s.
While often admitting the need Of
better highways the average farmer is
inclined to resent any attempt to inter-
fere with his road building methods,
which he considers peculiarly his own
affair No reform. therefore can be
forced upon him. Any proposed plan of
road improvement, to be successful,
must leave it optional with him to avail
himself of its provisions OF not. rs he
may choose The initiative must be left
in his hands.
The state aid system seems to have
solved the problem Of country road i'm
provement to the farmers satisfaction.
This system has been adopted in several
states. but is most successfully in opera
ton in New Jersey, where it was first
introduced about five years ago.
This system Of state aid divides the
cost Of road improvement between the
state. the county and the owners Of
AUDITING property. Improvements are
made only upon IL petition from the lat
ter. stating the character of the i'm
provements to be made and consenting
to an assessment of their property to
cover one tenth of the cost.

Let Us Each Find a Rock.

Citizens of Vermont who profess
that their state is prohibition may
we'll pray for rocks to hide under.
What can they do, or what can they
say? Here is our own little Repub-
lican ex-governor accused of main
tanning common nuisance, and as
setting for this uncommonly in
teresting spectacle are ranged the
leading politicians of the state-of-
fice-holders and candidates, govern
ors, ex-governors, congressman aud
legislators. 1t is great! There was
a Fish and Game league banquet at
the Van Ness house in Burlington
the same hotel and the same pro-
prietor that figured in Il notorious
t,ial few years ago. Bottles and
bottles of ale were served and drank,
and not one, SO far as known, of the
guests denied himself any privileges
conferred by his ticket. There were
toasts and speeches, and doubtless
they were nothing without patriotic
praises of Vermont, her people, her
laws, her rulers, and pious thank
fulness for the special dispensaton
which banished rum from our bor-
ders, made things as good and true
as they are to-day, and made YER
mont prohibition state.
All this was under the ex-govern-
or's own hospitable roof, but he
claims that he neither furnished nor
handled any of the pint bottles of
ale used at the banquet. Now ex-
Governor Woodbury. is brought into
court, along with lot of sympa-
thetic druggists and hotel keepers,
to show why his house should not
be closed as common nuisance
under the laws which he once took
oath to uphold to the letter. And
the crowd at the banquet, and its
managers, who profess prohibition
are they not concerned in the
plight of the ex-governor, the drug
gists and the dryer Burlington?
Will their persistence in the habit
of Republication force from them
renewed professions that Vermont
is a prohibition state, or will they
look for rocks to hide under?
