Great Improvement in public roads IS
sure to attend and follow the multipli-

diets that before the end Of 1900 the
total mileage Of macadam and asphalt
will be increased by fully 100 per cent"
More than 0,000,00O is said to be

The homely but expressive maxim

born every minute" daily receives ex-
empliiication, together with the corol-
larry fact that large percentage of

quire money out of which they may be

explain the survival of the Spanish
priest Swindle, which has been work
ed for many years and yet other years
despite the fact that it has been ex-
posed in the newspapers times with
out number. 1t continues to bob up,
and doubtless will continue to Sepa,
rate fools from their money for years
to come. Everybody should know of
it, yet If there be any reader who does
not let us advise him to beware of
letters purporting to come from a
Spanish priest, telling of great treas
ures to be found at such and such a
place provided a small sum OF money
be advanced for necessary expenses.

curious instance of the westward
drift of the country's population ap.
pears in the latest report Of the Fen.
sion bureau. The official reports of
the War Department for 1S61165 show
that New York led in the number OF
troops furnished; Pennsylvania came
second, ana Ohio third. The quotas Of
the respective States in the order
named were 467 DAT, 1856, 1O7, and 319.
6o9 men. On the pension list this or
der Is exactly reversed. Ohio has the
most pensioners, Pennsylvania stands
next, and New York is third. There
are 1OJ,52I pensioners in Ohio, draw
MIA. drawing $12,470, 1875; and 81, 52T in
New York, drawing $l2,O03.S5 Hi
nos stood fourth in the number Of
soldiers furnished. and it also stands
fourth in the number of pensioners
though Indiana is fourth in the amount
received for pensions. These changes
may be traced entirely to natural and
legitimate causes. 1t is nothing against
Ohio that it leads in the number Of is
pensioners. If it has usurped the place
that apparently belonged to New York
it is because there has been steady
drift westward Of population since the
war and enough of the veterans or
soldiers widows have moved from
New York and Pennsylvania into Ohio
to cause the change. The westN ard
movement Of the veterans explains
why Kansas has now twice as many
pensioners as it furnished soldiers.

came by others interfering in the royal
election. We have no official news about
Herr Rose having issued a proclama-
ton. We cannot tell what it's contents
are. Impartial as we have been in DR..

Rose Issued a provocati e proclamation
we shall disavow it. That Herr Rose
protested at the consuls meeting we
know, but that is a differ ent thing from

When he was questioned as to the
status Of the negotiations on the SUBJ
ject Of Samoa, DR.. Won Hamann re-
marked:
Or. Won Buiow, the minister of for
eign affairs, has shortened his leave and
returned to Berlin because he desires to
carry on the negotiations himself. He
has had a long conference with the
