RalIroads and eood Road.

Seattle Post-Inteligencer.
The officials OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad are evideneing an earnest pur-
pose TO cooperate with the state In the
matter Of the construction Of general
good road system. They have offered for
example, TO assist in the construction OF
spurs TO reach points suitable for quarry
locations, where the state can secure rock
for macadam roads. They offer further
10 turn over TO the state all abandoned
rights-of way where II is possible to use
them as part Of any state road. and gem
orally to aid in every way possible in the
perfecting OF q system Of state highways.
There is enlightened self-interest in this.
It is good thing for the railroads to
have better roads in the state, TO facili-
tate the moving of freight to the railroad
lines and oheapen the cost Of this work
as well. The heaviest transportation
charge borne to-day by any article OF
farm produce, in proportion TO the dis
tance Travelled, is on the movement from
the farm to the railroad station. In many
cases It costs as much 10 move wheat
from the farm TO the railroad station as
Il does 10 move Il from the station to
tidewater, $50 miles or so away. The
better the roads, the easier and cheaper
It is to move farm produce from the farm

been the subject OF discussion, just as other pub
lie men have been who have visited various
towns
When any OF the prominent statesmen visit
Delaware towns il is a question of debate among
the good housewives as to what they like to eat,
and how they should be entertained. At one
home they used to have a special chair ready for
a prominent politician who was of large size
About men high in the church there is always
considerable discussion. What do they like, and
how shall we entertain thems is the chief topic
of debate at parish teas, sewing circles, meetings
OF women's clubs, and the like. So far as the
Methodists are concerned it seems to be as fixed
and settled as the laws of the Medes and Per-
slams were, that chicken is the proper thing at
conference time. Every rooster that has any
regard for his personal safety flies the coop and
takes long vacation as conference approaches.
1t appears, however, that one good soul in
Delaware is puzzled as to how the Eps-
copal Bishop should be entertained Counsel

a dialectica dissertation on diatetics.
The striking thing in "Counsellors" advice is
the implication that the drinking of tea is
token of misfortune. Listen to "Counsellor:"
Encourage Bishops to cat sparingly, and to
certain extent consult their tastes. If they are
so unfortunate as not to drink coffee, 1--WE have
heard of at least one such), give them tea, plenty
OF it, and weak and keep your opinions to your
self"
Unfortunate? Thrice fortunate is he that es-
capes coffee
This letter is the first intimation that we have
had that anyone should have opinions that are
hard TO conceal about tea drinkers. That great
Texan, Joe Bailey, during the last session OF the
Senate lauded tea. The coffee drinkers in Della
ware towns are in a large majority but there
are tea drinkers a-plenty When company
comes in many Delaware home both tea and
coffee are in readiness and the good housewife
is prepared to give either tea or coffee without
remarks We don't think the good Bishop is at
all fncky How could man that once was the
head of a boys boarding school and lived on
the food furnished there be fnicky?
We are suspicious Of Counselor as an au-
thority on the entertainment OF Bishops in Del

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
The following from the Chicago
Record Herald is interesting;
1.-THE clamor against express rates
is heard all over the country. 1t does
not come from the 'scorned common
people either, but largely from manu-
facturers and merchants. The rates
from Chicago to points I'm the State
are so high and the service so bad
that business mems movement grew
up TO get some relief from our own
Legislature. The Legislature, of course,
grinned ct the request and did moth
ing. A parcels post system, such as
European governments provide for
their citizens, would solve the trouble
speedily"
There you have 1t. The remedy for
extortion is public ownership. II a
public express company would solve
the bad service and high charges, why
would not public sugar refinery act
the same. Ditto, a public oil indus
try; ditto. a public coal industry, ditto,
a public beef industry; ditto, a public
steel inlustry. and the same with every
other industry that exploits the peo-
pie?
When all the industries are thus
owned ITO solve the trouble speedily
we would have Socialism.
Socialists have been advocating this
principle for the last twenty years. and
at last one old party paper secs the
inevitable and boldly says so.

TOAD EVIDENTLY A THINKER
Clever Maneuver by Which Batrach-
ian FoiIed His inveterate
Enemy, the Serpent.

The following snake story was told
some years ago by reputable citi-
zen of Arson county: Driving along
a public road one day he saw a toad
frog crossing the road at top speed
hitting only the high places and few
of them. AS the frog disappeared in
the bOsky underbrush on one side a
black snake in hot pursuit made it's
appearance on the other The story
teller followed the two into the bushes
to see what the result would be. He
had proceeded only a short distance
when he found the frog at bay, fac
ing the snake and with the latter circ-
ling about in the effort to make an
attack from the rear His frogship
kept turning all the time, always fac
ing the enemy.
The reason of this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth, held crosswise and about
the middle, a stick about the size and
length Of lead pencil The frog knew
the snake could not swallow him so
long as he presented such a front.
The man watched the performance
for some time and when he left the
snake was still circling the frog and
the latter facing it's enemy on every

a London Problem.

They are dealing with a psychologist
cal problem in London that is not on
the cards. The problem is nothing
less than little baby boy in the
Wlckham workhouse, a scrap of a
child only two years and four months
old, who no sooner has to make
any serious remark than he rolls forth
such string of unmitigated billings
gate that he petrifies all who hear
him. He is described as beautiful
child with dark, soulful eyes. soft fair
hair, chubby limbs and the face of an
angel. At ordinary times hs is the
best OF boys, but does anything upset
his equanimity he brings into play
such volume Of foul language that
he quite communicates the infant ward.
Where the baby learned to curse and
swear is the question. It has been so
lar mystery, as his antecedents are
unknown, and his age so tender his
comprehension of the forms of Ian
guage might well be of the slightest.
but such does not appear to be the
case This little workhouse baby eyi-
IDENTIFY knows what he is talking about.

The Duty Of Rest and PLAY.

Rest is just as much a necessity of
life as Work is. In the face Of the
popular theory which supposes that
work in itself is respectable unless it
is proved to be wrong and that rest
in itself is suspicious-that it must
prove itself to be right; in the face of
this popular theory, which is the the
DRY of the spelling books, of careless
talk and unframed consciences, I
must remind you that Work and
Rest have each its own place, and
that neither must step beyond that
place. In its right place and proper
ton Rest is as dignifed, as creditable.
as Work is.-EdWard Everett Hale.
