Next to the United States among the
great nations is the German empire,
with a total of 29,SS0 miles, and then
follows France, with 1858 miles, Rus
STA with 25,OO3 miles, although, if we
include the transcaspian district of
Russia and Siberia, Russia would come
third with total of 2S,302 miles. Fol-
lowing France ar ] 'ssia are Great
Britain and Ireland, 800 miles; Brit
ish India, 21,000 miles; Austria Hun
gary, 20,90S miles; British North
America. 1864 miles; Italy, 9,714
miles, and the Argentine Republic,
9,422 miles. Belgium has the largest
amount of railroad in comparison with
its total area, the amount being 1922
miles for each square mile of area.
In comparing the countries by the
length of railroad compared with the
amount of population that they serve,
we find that the colony of South Aus
tralia stands first with 523 miles for
each 10000 people, this result, of
course, being due 20 the comparative
sparseness Of the population. In the
United States there are 26 miles to each
10000 inhabitants.

In the more densely populated dis
tricts of Europe the figures fall con-
siderably, Germany having 81 miles
for each 10000 people. The small in
crease of 3.6 per cent in the total mile
age for the United States is due to the
fact that the years 1893 and 1897 were
among the least active in railroad con-
struction in the history of the country,
the previous decade having been one
of extraordinary increase, over 10000
miles, or more than half the present
total length of railroads in Great Brit
ain, having been built in single year.

THE INTERIOR OFFICE.

The vacancy In the Interior once
needs to be filled with the least pos
sible delay. The absence Of Mr.. Damon
leaves a Cabinet OF but two men. and
the chief executive department Of the
government Is at a stand still.
The chief functions Of Minister OF
Interior at the present time are not
those Of fighter. a statesman or q
politician. The duties Of the Minister
Of Interior are mainly to see that the
road. bridge, wharf and public build
ing program laid out by the legisla-
ture. Is carried out and that the bulg-
Ing surplus is expended for the public
benent instead of being allowed to
tester in the public treasury until 1t
breeds a money panic.
This work needs to be done nOw.
A live, snappy, business man, reason
ably familiar with governmental affairs
and with the practical work Of the
Office should be secured II possible.
A man who answers this description
is Hon. John A. McCandless. now a
member Of the Senate.
The Advertiser has at times dis
agreed with Mr.. McCandless upon
various issues CT the day, and, as he
Is a man who does his own thinking
ard the Advertiser proposes to con-
tinue as an Independent journal. there
will probably be differences in the
future; but at the present juncture and
under existing conditions. it is sub.
mitted that Mr.. McCandless will fill
the bill better than any other available
man.
As a member of the Advisory Coun-
Gil Of the Provisional Government and
Of the Senate, for the last seven years,
he has a close knowledge Of govern
mental affairs, more particularly Of
the Interior Department, in which. as
practical man, ne has always mani
tested the greatest interest.
As an executive and business man
he has dem onstrated his ability by the
accumulation Of a comfortable fortune
entirely through his own personal ef-
forts. He has been a staunch and con-
tinuous supporter Of annexation and
the policy Of progress.
He has strong personal support
among the younger and more radical
men of the community and would bring
support to the. administration as well
as infuse new blood into executive
affairs.
The appointment Is entirely in the
hands Of President Dole. and he will
appoint whom he deems best; but he
can feel assured that the appointment
of Mr.. McCandless will meet with gen.
eral approval In the community.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

Prof. Lyons meteorological sum-
mary Of the month Is unusually inter-
esting. The school children should be
made familiar with 1t each month as 1t
Ia one Of those matters which touch
their daily lives.
There has been little rain for seven
months, and there is some apprehen-
sion that the artesian wells are fail
ing. The facts do not warrant any
serious fear Of that kind. provided the
facts furnished by Prof. Lyons give
sufhcient data. As to their accuracy,
Prof. Lyons name is an absolute guar
antee OF that.
The normal amount Of rainfall for
the month Ia 2.04 feet. There has fallen
since January LIST. 1857 feet.
During the month Of September the
rainfall was O.S0. The waterworks
were pumping about 100000 Of gall
Ions OF artesian water per day. A num-
Der. perhaps 20, other artesian wells
were discharging many millions gal
Ions more Of water night and day In
and near the city.
But according to Prof. Lyons state
ments, the fall OF water In the artesian

from 34.4 feet above sea level
to 34.2 feet above the same level. The

DRINKING FOUNTAINS.

An item in the Advertiser OF yes
terday called attention to the need OF
drinking fountains for man and beast
in this place.
For animals there is now only one,
II the evidence OF several hack-drivers
IL correct. For man there Is substan-
tally none. The need Of them in the
case Of animals Is SO obvious that 1t
requires no argument. Those who take
a kindly interest in them declare that
the absence Of convenient watering
places, causes large amount Of suffer-
ing to the many animals used in town,
especially among those owned by the
poorer classes Of people, who drive
them from some remote places in the
rural parts. A community which Is, on
the whole, rather Indifferent to the
cause OF preventing cruelty to animals,
will not take much interest in such a
trivial affair as providing drinking
fountains for creatures that can't take
care Of themselves. One would expect
In a generous community, that these
horse drinking fountains would be
found in many places. as the gifts OF
humane people. but benevolence does
not seem to run in that direction.
As to man, the case is still more
serious
An oficer in one OF the regiments in
transitu, says that at a railway sta
ton In Indiana, at which the trains
conveying troops stopped for five
minutes, q plain farmer, handicapped
with benevolence. placed five barrels
o. Ice water on the platform, and
whenever a train pulled up, every
thirsty soldier had drink OF cool
water. Whenever the coming OF a
train with troops was wired. the
farmer bought the ice and carted 1t to
the station. and his barrels were full

swampy tract about the mouth of the

who deal with the South American
Republics usually ask for cash in ad-
vance, as the officers and crews Of these

Did the ex-President get his hands IN

services on "tick?" The amount which
rumor says he has or will receive for
his services, namely, $250.O00, Is pro-
baby far beyond the amount really
agreed upon. Rumors like to deal in
big figures. II the ex-President failed
to collect in advance. he may have
trouble in obtaining from the revolu-

The Venezuelan award seems to be
an excellent illustration OF the practi-
cal methods Of disposing Of inter-
national disputes. The rights Of the

The arbitrator well knew that the
British policy would be In the venezu-
elan case. to keep the gold fields open
to all the world. and protect the
miners. They knew on the other hand
that the Venezuelan government would
attempt to squeeze the miners, and
would not protect them. So they gave
the gold fields to the British, which
was most sensible thing to do. Hav-
ing made up their minds that the Brit
ish should have the gold fields, 1t was
not dificult to find reasons to sustain
a judgment to that effect. a..

A RADICAL VIEW.

The Advertiser in discussing the
Aspects of the missionary work done
Aero and elsewhere. has suggested that
- younger generation Of Christian
men and women, were taking new and
somewhat radical views Of the nature
a the work, and the means for making
II effective.
Dr.. Lyman Abbott, one Of the lead
Ing Christian thinkers Of America, ex-
Dressed some new and noticeable views
on the subject. In his remarks made
recently. in the International Congre-
gational council. The Springfield Re-
publican sums up his remarks In the
following words:
"The practical reputation Of Christ
an missions as pioneer force In civil
iaatioa Is formally and fatty made q
part Of DR.. Abbott's creed. He said
that missions may save some individ-
ual lives. and will emancipate some
fragments Of some tribes. but as far as
the illumination Of Africa Is concern
Cd the mission stations are like glow
worms In the midnight darkness OF q
great meadow. II Africa Is to be re-
deemed, first must go the law and after
thak The gospel A little further ON
he ssid, In SO many words. that he put
Law bsf0re the gospel as the means OF
tho worlds redemption. and said that
the authority OF the law must be estab-
lisAed before an effort Is made to give
the gospel. His argument was support
ed by the illustration of England's
course, and he favored military con-
quest Of inferior nations as prelimi-
nary to giving them the gospel. Dr.
Abbott has. in public and with empha-
tic Formally. declared that the pres
ent missionary policy Is a failure. and
he holds up to ridicule what has been
done by the American board and other
missionary bodies in Africa for over
half a century. BY the same standard
the missions in China and all other
parts OF the world are a failure. Yet
the American board has heard, year
after year, for rs years, reports from
tho front which have encouraged them
20 labor on, struggling for larger re-
wards. First Of all should come the
military conquest OF Africa, China and
the other heather parts OF the world.
Force should be used. and after that
has prevailed, then the gospel OF love
should be preached to the people whom
the armies were killing Just before. lie
