Political and anti-Republican
Activity.

Opinions expressed in certain articles
of the Mensageira,' whispers Of later
wears concerning ou- share in the pOlem-
les Of the newspaper named Portugal,
and innumerable fictions about the Jes-
uits, on occasion of the late elections;
such we're the causes Of the accusation
that we meddled with politics.
As for the Mensageiro, its articles are
open to all who choose to read them. and
the doctrines there expressed as to the
responsibility of the electorate in regard
of legislation and it's execution, as to the
solidarity of the members of our party,
its traditions, programme. and political
life, are after all only those which are
common among every people with
whom the principles of civic culture and
the social obligations of Catholics have
not been SO lamentably forgotten as with
us. Only those who realize how utterly

of such matters. what kind OF liberty

INCREASED USES OF CEMENT.
Railroad Ties Now Made from 1t
md Barbed Wire.

Portland cement output in 1900 amount
ed to only 6OO0,0O0 barrels, while in 1910
it reached 65,000.00O barrels During the
past four years the use OF concrete has
extended in directions that have made it
one OF the most necessary articles of
American supply. The fact that it lends
itself so well to the decorative effects of
modern architecture has done much to
multiply its uses in construction.
In practicability il has proven SO well
adapted 10 the building of bridges, bust
ness buildings. and private residences,
that every year secs its employment in
creased. Even the farm has learned Of
its great value. and barns. homes, and
fence posts are now made of Portland
cement.
1t is asserted that George Gates,
struggling inventor OF San Jose, Cal. has
produced. after many years of experiment
tstion, a railroad tie of this substance
that meets all the requirements of such a
support, is cheaper than the wooden tie

railroads his patent rights for over s17,-

Cement and metal tics have been tried
before but in this country they have not
been found satisfactory The solid ce-
ment lacks resiliency, but the new tie
will spring nearly two inches and come
back to line, each one being REINFORCED
with thirty-SiN strands of barbed wire
The tie problem has been one of the most
critical confronting the railroads in re-
cent years. a mile of track requires
about $500 ties. This makes nearly 700.-

country. About S0,00o.oo0 are annually re-
