How does the idea of Mr.. Cooper for
Speaker of the House strike your
fancy? This paper believes it would
be an interesting phenomenon if there
should happen to be a vacancy.
American engineers, electricians and
capitalists can find favorable oppor-
tunities for service and investment in
the empire of Brazil. But before en-
barking it will be necessary to master
the Portuguese language.
The American Ice company is
gigantic and opu1ent combination. 1t
is capitalized at S6O,0O0,0Oo It has a
monopoly of the ice business of the
city of New York. Having that great
city in its ta1ons the Trust increases
the cost of ice to consumers one hum
dred per cent and threatens to still
farther raise the price of the commod-
ity. This is suggestive of the public
peril inhering in a monstrous and
constituencies syndicate, and exposes
the point at which it must be- made to
answer for its offence against the peo-
pie at the tribunal of the nation.
Whatever threatens and endangers
the property and peace of the public
must be checkmated. A thousand kid
g1oved Cresuses self surrendered to
plumber are no more respectable, and
are worthy of no more favoritism from
the divinity of Justice than so many
half clad hoodoos who engage in a
similar abominab1e business. Later
The Ice Trust has been compelled to
succumb-it will deliver ice at four
dollars per ton. Not the courts, but
the newspapers of New York achieved
this triumph.

SALVATION IN ROADS.
They Are the Great Universal Mis-
siOnaries of Regeneration.

They Are the Great Universal Mis-
siOnaries of Regeneration.
These far fetched notions Of the ''ru-
raj social settlement" and the institu-
tionaI rural church, ETC., are mere
moonshine. They are altogether too
visionary and extraneous and forced,
says lions Herald. They could never
be made to work in actual practice be-
cause so foreign in spirit and method.
The salvation OF the backwoods, like
the salvation of China, lies in opening
up the country. Roads, roads, roads
these are the great universal mission
aries; roads of all kinds-railroads,
electric roads, macadamized highways,
bicycle paths-anything that invites
wheels.
Build a broad, hard, well graded
highway between 8 decadent town and
the nearest wide awake town, and
there will be no need to send a social
settlement resident to and fro over
it in any kind Of vehicle The people
will go to and fro and regenerate them
selves That road will be church and
school and lyceum and social enamel
pator for them And then, as commu-
nication Increases, the electric road
will occupy one side Of she highway,
and the steam railroad will find it eX-
pedient to build a competing branch
into the hills, and so the isolated COM
munity will be walked up and saved.
That is the logic of the situation as
some of us see it.

The Road Problem.

The improvement of country roads is
chiefly an economical question, relat-
ing principally to the waste Of effort
In hauling over bad roads, the saving
in money, time and energy in hauling
over good ones, the initial cost Of i'm
proving roads and the difference in the
cost of maintaining good and bad ones.
It is not necessary to enlarge on this
subject in order to convince the aver
age reader that good roads reduce the
resistance to traffic, and consequently
the cost of transportation of products
and goods to and from farms and mar
kets is reduced to a minimum.

Asphalt Pavement.

The laying of bituminous pavements
in this country began in 1869, and they
were first made of tar concrete, or
ScrimshaW. Asphalt began to be used
within the next year or two, and its
popularity has been astonishing, as
will be seen from the fact that on Jan.

ment laid in the United States was,
as nearly as could be ascertained, 3d.

BADGER MEN PRESIDE.
Cooper and Jenkins in Speaker Henderson's


Cua1Ts
Speaker Henderson is doing his part
toward bringing several representa-
tives from the Northwest to'the front
by making them presiding officers of
the house. tits the custom of speakers
to give the honor of presiding over the
house in committee Of the whole to
special friends among the members,
and it is an honor which they thorough
ly appreciate.
During the sessions when Speaker
Reed presided over the house, he almost
invariably selected as chairman under
circumstances, eastern representatives
who were by these means enabled to
become thoroughly familiar with the
rules of the house and given the prom
inence which belongs to the position.
Speaker Henderson is recognizing
the Northwestern members and espeC-
tally his close friends, among them,
with the honor. Representative Coop
er presided while the Nicaragua canal
bill was under consideration, and now
while the Alaskan Code and Civil Gov
eminent bill occupies the time of the
house, Representative Jenkins is the
presiding officer. Mr.. Jenkins has
thorough familiarity with Alaskan
affairs in connection with Legislation
in congress, and during the last session
he contributed more than any other
member of the house to perfect the
code for that distant territorial posses
sion.
