Of those cities to come to New Jersey
This improvement has been extended

and the sides covering the machinery

The Eads gunboats were constructed
for inland waters The Monitor. which
was launched at New York in March,
was the first seagoing ironclad of the
war. She finally proved unseawortIy.
The Nferrimac never put to open sea.
SO the main weapon for sea fighting on
a grand scale which the Federal gov

for opening up the James and NIissis-
sippi rivers was the OLD type of wood.

1t was almost solely with the hope
OF sinking the Merrimac and thus pre-
serving the wooden ships for the heavy
purposes Of naval warfare that the
Federal government adopted Erics-
sons plans and LET him build the Moni-

For that date the wooden ships had
given a good account of themselves.
They had fought land batteries at Ro-
anoke and Port Royal in the fall of
1861 with better execution than the
Eads ironcIads in the west. Not one
Of them was put out Of the fight by
the enemy's shots, and after the Port
Royal battle the Confederates aban-
doned all their exposed forts on the
seacoast. Farragut went to the gulf
to attack New Orleans with a feet
which consisted wholly of wooden
ships, but even these were not all
steamers nor all built for warfare.
Not only that but Confederates had
on the lower Mississippi two ironclad
ships, the Louisiana, constructed very

resentative elective assembly chosen in accordance with the expressed deter imitation of the constituent assembly.
 The writers presuppose that the Czar will concede the right of the people to participate in legislation. and in calling the constituent assembly will with a single stroke of the pen. do away once and for always with all administrative abuses, and abolish all spurious forms of law which masquerade under the name of temporary regulations, minis terial circulars and administrative de- cisions," and which suspend, revive or alter laws at the will of the admins tration. Along with this purifcation of the body polite there is presupposed the grant of thOrough-going amnesty to all who. have suffered or are suffering under the yoke of exceptional laws and arbitrary administrative acts.
 This is reasonable programme, but there is no reason to think it will have the consideration it deserves.

WHAT CAN RE DONE.

The Asphalt trust will be able to get on it's feet again if it can do few such turns as it has done in Philadelphia. It first secured an ordinance prohibiting the use of any asphalt material by the city which is not controlled by the trust, and then, when bids were invited for about $1,5OO,O0O worth of work for the city, the trust of course won the contract at practically its own price. This is about $2.5O square yard. The trust has lately bid in a Washington contract at $156 It had to compete with outside companies there, and one of the latter has taken a large New York contract lately. at about $1.50 a square yard.
 When New Haven gets her brick pavement all fixed up perhaps she will have an opportunity to buy some as- phalt pavement cheap. It is to be hoped that she wont have such an opportuni- ty as Philadelphia has.
