Of all the misfortunes which have fallen to the lot of China In recent years the death of Ii Hung Chang may prove to be the greatest. He was the one statesman of the empire who combined a shrewd knowledge and ap- preciaticn of western people and meth
 o6s with an ability to holi the Confi
 dence of his own countrymen. More than once his diplomacy has warded off the disruption Of China. He alone was able to limit in a measure the fool
 ish policies Of the stubborn empress dowa ger. His influence gone. it is inn possible to predict what new compli- e. tions may arise by reason of the empress bitter hatred Of all things foreign. for it is assured by nobody that she has learned any useful les sons from the punishment inflicted on the empire by the powers during the past year. The Chin1=lan best quail flied to take up the leadership now va
 cant is unauestionabIy wu Ting-fang the popular minister to the United States. He has shown himself to be a statesman of broad ability, and dip lomat of the first order. But within week Mir. Wu has been recalled, pre- sumably in disgrace; which, if true would preclude the possibility of his advancement-unless indeed, his re- call was at the instance of Ii Hung Chang, who was said to be jealous of his growing infiuerce abroad. But from any standpoint the death of Chiua's grand old man must be con sidcred q great misfortune, not only for China but for the whole world. After meeting Gladstone of England. Ferry of France. Crispi of Italy. Bis marck of Germany. Gortchakoff of Russia and Abdul Hamid of Turkey.

and congress planned to surrender through last winters legislation.
 The block on which their calculations stumbled was the unsuspected shrink age of expenditures, due to the pro- gramme of economy enforced in the war department by Secretary Root. For the month of October the war de- partment's disbursements were only s9543.4T0, against over S14 900. 900 in October 1900. Equally gratifying re- auctions were made in the months pre- ceding and in consequence the treas ury's expenditures for the first third of tie present fiscal year have fallen short of last years figures by some s27. .Oco, GOO. Naval expenditures this year show a tendency to increase. which may slightly counterbalance the saving effected in the army account. But it is safe. perhaps, to assume that the fiscal years expenditures will drop far enough below those of 1901 to in validate completely the calculations of the frarrers of the tax reduction law. The paradoxicGi results of that meas ure will continue to excite a curious interest. Yet it will be readily agreed on sll sides that the treasury can bet ter afford % smile at a paradoxicai surplus than to frown at paradoxica1 deficit.

The difference between American and Spanish practice in the Philippines is well indicated in the fact that the act just drafted by the Taft commits sion against treason and sedition re- stricts the death penalty to those who give aid and comfort to the insurgents. whereas the Spanish were accustomed to shoot those who expressed senti-. nents which even by an extreme inter- pretation could be deemed sedltious. Rizal was shot for words which ap- peared in a novel Under the proposed law of the Philippine commission. the. penalty for seditious utterances may be s2.000 fine or two years inprison- ment. So far as we have adopted Spanish methods in the Philippines at all, their adoption has been forced by the ordinary contempt of the F'ilipinos for milder American methods. They have, as it were, insisted upon having something of the Spanish in their gov e.-pnant

Notwithstanding Fred Grants ia nous dictum that Lit is easier to man
 age a surplus than THE deficit" the increas- TROUBLESOME ing surplus in the SURPLUS. federal treasury will
 demand the early consideration of congress.
 By the war revenue tax reduction act of March 3. 1901. a cut of from s4O, 100000 to $45.OOO. 900 was made in the treasury's annual income. The fiscal year ending June 30. 1900. had shown surplus revenue of s79, 500, 900, and this huge balance was diminished only to s75. 100000 in the fiscal year ending June 30. 1901. The reductions in the internal revenue schedules authorized by congress would, it was gravely cal culated. restore a fairer balance be- tween receipts and expenditures. leav- ing the treasury merely the margin needed to secure it against some wholly unexpected national demand. The tax reduction law has now been in force four months. Yet under it's opera tions the treasury balance, instead of shrinking to less than half it's former volume has mounted almost as per sistently as ever. and now threatens to reach or pass the superfiuous figures of 1900 and 1901. In the last four months the net excess of government receipts over government expenditures has been about $22, GOO 900; and as Sep tember and October produced much larger surpluses than July and August, and each month larger surplus than the corresponding month last year, it seems not unreasonable to calculate on a surplus for 1901-'02 running for up toward the S100. 0.000. 900 mark.
 It is scarcely just, of course, to charge the tax reduction act with the apparent absolute failure of last win ter's well meant effort to diminish the surplus and Tighten the burdens of federal taxation. The law of March 3 has by no means fulfilled the expecta- tions of it's framers. Yet it has checked materially the inflow of i'm ternal revenue collections. and for the first four months of the present year has lowered the treasury's total re- ceipts about si 300, GOO. At this rate it will result in cut of SIS, ,50O. 900 for the full twelve months-about a third of the sum the secretary of the treasury

Phoenix is honored today by visit

Phoenix is honored today by visit from AIr. E. P. Ripley, president. and
 Mir. Paul Morton. DISTINGUISHED third vice president, VISITORS. of the great Santa
 Fe railway system. They meet here MT. F. M. Murphy president of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix line, and the coming of Messrs. Ripley and Morton is in connection with the recent requirement of the S. T., p e P. by the Santa Fe. Naturally, they wish to look at a region which is a large contributor to the business of their lines and which is destined to be such an important factor in promot- ing the prosperity of the system
 That they will be pleased with what they see, is foresone conclusion As matter of course. they$ already have g comprehensive knowledge of the Salt River valley. The remarkable success which Mir. Ripley ard MT. Morton have achieved as the controlling spirits in one of the greatest railway systems in the world makes it certain that they have an excellent acquaintance with every bit of territory tributary to the line. but it is only after one has seen the Salt River valley thoroughly that a fuil appreciation of it's great re- sources and wonderful possibilities is gained.
 What it means to have the frienI- ship of such men, and what it means to be really ''on the Santa Fe." will be brought home to the people Of Phoe- nix and the valley in a most gratifying manner hereafter. The entrance of the the most important events in our his tory. the future will prove Mir. Ripley is conceded to be one of the greatest railroad presidents the coun- try has produced. The genius of MT. Morton for building up and expanding the traffic of railroads under his charge has made him famous as the leading young man of the railroad world. When men of such ability and discernment lend their influence to building up q community in the manner in which their aid may be counted upon for this valley in the future. it assures great prosperity to such community. This  valley is merely at the threshold of it's development. One of the great days in it's calendar belongs to the advent of the Santa Fe.
 That it also has happy and most important bearing on the prosperity of all Arizona, the future will demon strate.

Good Roads Object Lesson.

-Four or five years ago the town OF
Hampstead, Queens county, N. Y, voted
to spend S4OO, 900 in road improvements.
Farms at the time were worth from $50
to $50 an acre. They are now worth
several hundred dollars an acre and re-
turn good interest for those who pur-
chased them at that price. This has
been such an object lesson to their
neighbors that understand something
like 81, 900, 900 will be spent this year
in other parts of Queens county and
neighborhood in building good roads.
This may seem a large amount of mon
ey to be spent for the purpose, but ow-
ing to the character Of the soil and the
fact that good road material must be
brought the cost Of construction is high
er than it would be in most parts Of the
state.

Recent Laws Provide For Their System
alto Improvement.
The highways Of Montana, by bill
passed by the state legislature, are
placed in the charge of the county sur
veyor, and the old Office Of road super
visor, usually held by an inexperienced
man, is abolished. The act defines the
powers and duties Of county surveyors
and provides for their compensation.
By this act each Of these officers is re-
quired to keep the highways in his
county clear Of obstruction aud in good
repair and maintain bridges, to make
all plans and specifications for new
roads and bridges, to report to the coun-
ty commissioners on all work completed,
and if the work is done according to
the plans, specifications and contract
he is to draw his vouchers for the same
before payment is made.
The county surveyor is chairman OF
all boards of viewers Of roads, keeps
the records of road surveys and is the
general superintendent of all roads. He
may employ labor, teams, etc., and has
power to contract for all work not ex-
ceeding 5000 in cost. For larger amounts
the approval Of a majority Of the board
Of county commissioners is required.
The salary received varies with the
class of county, from $3.50 to So, 900
per year. Viewers and all assistants Of
the county surveyor may not receive
more than $3 per day.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In .
Tempting Way.

-
/ Tempting Way.
| AS the patient begins to regain health
and strength more solid food is given
milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or we'll baked
potato. Great care must be taken not
to overtax the digestive organs. Re-
lapses are often caused by too much in
diligence of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. a broiled bird or
piece Of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient is in q sut1l-
ciently advanced stage Of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
| If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gllls begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable, as they are
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal Of attention should be
paid to the serving Of food for a sick
person. The faint appetite of illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on tray with
a fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
| II. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or a little sprig of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt q vase Of flowers unless 1t be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much COL
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all Of a single pale tint the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eye Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains Of food served stand In the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served imme-
diately after they are prepared, and 1t
seems superfuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However. this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn
perature.
There are a great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream Is often
given and is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very i'll patients and
it Is almost always relished.

Fifty Miles to Market.

1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer 40 or 30 miles
from home in wet weather with heavy
load. If he sees a prospect of three
days rain, he puts his tarpaulin over
his load, a cover over his horses and
waterproof coat on and starts off to mar
ket. He may 60 30 miles before he finds
market that suits him, or he may
know in advance just where he is going.
You do not often see anybody driving 30
miles through a rainstorm in the United
States to find market for a load of
hay, but it is not at all uncommon to
see farmers wagons 40 or 30 miles from
home in France. They choose the wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any time

How to Cure Insomnia.

It is now a generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes or
insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in a disturbed condi'
ton of the digestive organs If in moth
ing more serious. The remedy IN such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia Of a protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
period of fasting. There are few
cases Of sleeplessness. in fact. in which
little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking OF cold
water just before retiring Is often
highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power is
generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness. the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry Watterson's Idea Is That They Be

Local, Not National.
Henry Watterson takes issue with
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge of road making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times-Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language Of
Colonel Watterson, are those that "lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill,
the factory, the school, the church, the
ferry and the market.
This apt remark Of Colonel Watterson
is a condensation, simpliication, an
absolutely plain presentation Of what Ia
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads. Garry out that idea, and what
will be wanting? 1t will meet the re-
quirements of the farmer; it will save
the farming element hundreds Of mil.
lions Of dollars every year; twill meet
the expectations Of the pleasure seeker;
1t will add to the value Of every foot OF
land in the country; it will be Of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be source Of pleasure
and profit to all classes, in all oommu-
mites.

Convict Labor on Roads.

Convict labor in road building is be-
ing employed in Duval county, Fla,
and in North Carolina. In the latter
case 21A cents per day per head is said
to cover the cost Of food, clothes, medi-
Cal attendance and guards, as compared
with % cents per day for maintaining
the same prisoners in Jail. The Duval
Good Roads association Of Florida ad-
vocates the use of short term convicts
on such work and makes the claim that
they would in this manner pay back
some Of the money expended upon them,
and they would also stand a better
chance Of being called back to an honest
life than if they were made to associ.
ate with more hardened criminals in q
prison.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
The Burden Of Their Cost Should Be
Alike on All the People.

The Burden Of Their Cost Should BE
Alike on All the People.
It has been estimated that 500, 000,'
900 tons Of farm produce are hauled to
market annually in the United States
and that the cost Of marketing it is So
per ton, or just about 81, 900, 900, 600.
This is not money paid out, but is the
value Of the time spent by farmers with
their teams in marketing crops or what
these men and teams would have earned
if they had been hired for cash to dc
this amount Of hauling. The secretary
Of the farmers national congress and
the United States department of agri-
culture agree in estimating that about
60 per cent of this vast amount, OF
5000, 900, 900, would be saved each yeal
if farmers were able to do this hauling
over good roads.
This, then, is the amount Of the an
nual mud tax to which we have been
submitting, says the Cedar Rapids (1a.
Gazette. Railroads, telegraphs and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the states and subsidized by the govern
ment, but nothing has been done for
the common country road. The farmers
alone have had to build country roads,
without assistance from the cities, from
wealthy corporations or from the state.
Every citizen will be benefited by the
construction of good roads, directly and
Indirectly, and every taxpayer should
contribute his share to their cost. Nc
wonder the farmer opposes the good
roads movement, if he alone is to stand
the expense. He has rightly suggested
that he should be assisted through the
medium of state road tax, under sys-
tenn of state aid, as now employed in
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachu-
satts.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
The Employment of Free Labor Gives the
Best Results.

The Employment of Free Labor Gives the
Best Results.
Commenting on the employment OF
conyicts on the public highways, the
New Orleans Times Democrat points
out that the best results have been OBJ
tanned in road building when the best
free labor only has been employed. 1t
says:
Road construction is science re-
curing more careful study of the sub
ject than is generally imagined. The
prevalent idea that any one can build a
good road will not hold good. The
matter requires study, care and thor
ough knowledge Of the soil and country
through which the road is to be built.
The department of agriculture has late
ly been doing good work by laying be-
fore the people exactly what is neces-
sary in road construction.
The employment Of convicts in road
construction is very popular just now,
as Offering simultaneously solution OF
the two troublesome problems of what
to do with our prison population and
how to improve our highways. In view
Of the fact that the convicts in New
York, Indiana and other states are kept
idle, as the law makes no provision for
their support, it is we'll that Louisiana
should take some steps to utilize hers
when it has them on its hands, and
road construction seems an ideal en-
ployment for them.
On the other hand, the experience OF
those states which have been most sue
cessful with their roads is that only
the best labor (and convict labor is not
the best) should be employed in their
construction and maintenance. No state
which has made any material improve
ment with its highways has employed
convict labor, and no state which has
employed that kind of labor has secured
much improvement in its roads. The
best results have been accomplished by
road taxes and the giving out of con-
tracts.
