NEU-yORK'S ROAD MATERIAL.

Tho State of New-York enjoys one decided al
vantage in the work of constructing improNeu
roads in the fact that it contains, wlthin us
own limits and pretty well distributed through
ont It's area. an ample supply of first rate ia"
material There are doubtless other States as
fully best In this respect and there are certain
lv many others not thus bleSt. On the whole. 1t
IS doubtful If any other State with so great a
nroportionate extent of level and arabic land
has so abundant and well distributed supply
Of roadmaking material.
There are few counties in the State In which
auarries of good road stone are not now III OPP
GRAFTON. and there are still fewer in which such
ouarries might not proltably be opened On
Long Island there Is, we believe. no quarry,
strictly speaking, but there are numerous de-
posts Of gravel and powders, which may be
utilized for roadmaking with admirable results.
The Hudson River region Is thckly dotted win
auarries Of limestone, granite and trap. In the
Catskill and ShawanGunk mountains and along
the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers and their
tributaries bluestone is plentiful with liberal
admxture Of sandstone and limestone. Along
the Mohawk Valley and the line OF the Erie
Canal. clear TO Lake Erie. sandstone and lime
stone abound as they do northward. on Lake
Ontario and the St Lawrence River In the
lake region and the Southern Tier sandstone is
the chief material, with here and there an out
cropping Of bluestone. We are not sure that
there is more than one county In the State
outside Of Long Island in which there is not
now quarry of one OF these kinds Of stone in
operation And wherever such quarry exists
nothing is needed but n stone crnsher 10 enable
the outputtng of first rate material for improved
roads
The value OF these different stones for road
making varies, Of course. but they are all good.
Trap and granite are no doubt, the best the
former because of its unrivalled binding or self
cementing qualities. and the latter because Of
It's hardness and durability. Limestone has fine
binding properties, but is too soft 10 withstand
heavy traffic. Bluestone and other varieties Of
sandstone are not particularly hard. and have
almost no binding qualities 1t is evident. how
ever that these less desirable stones may profit
ably be combined with other kinds. and that
thus road may be made which will be better
than any of any single kind Of stone while of
course the poorest OF them. used alone will
make an incomparably better road than mere
clay and loam

TO think that learning Is the one thing IN lie,
the panacea for all Ills, whether OF the civiilzeo

Now II we are not careful we shall be re-
proached as attacking the higher education.
Far from IT, We are merely recognizing the
truth Of the old saying that IT Is pity TO spoil

only believe that the aim Of all education should

who have yet far to climb the essentials or prog

organization which they 80 much need as

INDUSTRY AND INDIANS.

The value of industrial training in the educa-
ton of backward races is coming more and
more TO be recognized. The Tribune few
days ago called attention TO Mr.. Booker r. Wash
ngtons plea that the way for the negro 10
make a place for himself in this country was
to become master of Industries. 1t is inter
estlng to note the advancement Of the same
idea with reference TO the Indian by so com
petcnt an observer as Miss Estelle Reel. the
General Superintendent Of Indian Schools. In
her annual report just submitted. she advocates
strictly industrial teaching for Indian children,
and says that while this practical work Of edu-
cation should be emphasized. the purely literary
instruction should be narrowed 10 the simple ee-
ments. She urges that the Indian girls be
taught cooking nursing and economic house
keeping, and equipped to be home makers in
the highest sense. The boys, too, should learn
farming stock raising and the ordinary trades
as we'll as the usual subjects Of the common
school

THE SENATE CURRENCY BILL.

Most of those who desire the best currency
,btainable, and believe that no other is fit for
The use of the self governing people OF these
United States, will probably consider the bill
prepared by the Republicans Of the Senate
Finance Committee distinctly preferable In
many provisions to the bill prepared by the Re-
,ubicans of the House. II has some defects
rs has the other bill, but both will probably be
modified somewhat either by general Repub
dean caucus If one should be called, or by
separate action of the Republicans in the two
houses These mea sures leave no decent ex-
use for doubling that the Republican Congress
men sincerely desire TO place the currency on
the soundest possible basis, and in the main the
steps by which they seek that end are the same
IN both houses Both measures open with a
formal declaration that the gold standard is
oow and In future shall be established, that all
other forms of money shall he kept at parity in
standard gold coin, that gold reserve fund
shall be formed and used for redemption Of
aotes only, and replenShed if necessary by sales
Of bonds.
The differences between the two measures
gre of some importance. The first sentence Of the
Senate bill Is the most compact and impressive
part of either measure, defining the standard
gold dollar declaring that AL forms OF money
ISSUED or coined by the United States shall be
maintained at a parity of value with this
standard" and providing that United States
and Treasury notes shall be redeemed in gold
.oin of such standard. Where the House bin Gre
ates a separate division for redemption, with a
reserve fund of $109,000O00. the Senate bill
makes 1t the duty Of the Secretary of the Treas
dry TO set apart reserve fund Of $4,000 900
in gold con which shall be used for such re-
iempton purposes only. Besides putting
larger sum behind the outstanding notes. the
Senate provision seems to be more distinct and
explicit regarding the steps to maintain their
value including the sales of bonds.
The difference between the two measures re-
xarding the treatment Of silver certificates Is
perhaps more apparent than real The object
Of both seems TO be the gradual retirement OF
other forms Of paper in denominations OF $40
Or less, and the exclusive occupation OF that
aeld by small silver certificates For this pur-
pose the Senate bill provides for retirement Of
Treasury notes and the issue Of silver certih-
Gates instead, and both bills seem to leave these
certificates TO be redeemed In silver only AZ
sxAaaszs times. but In any emergency TO be 50
