The argument that it is the duty, and Within the province, of the gen- eral government to undertake road building quite as much as internal im- provements is not’frequently advanced. .It has recently been brought forward by Col. J. B. Killebrew, of Nashville, who says some interesting things about it. i : gash) . In the first place he claims that thé undertaking would be a proper one, as the constitution permit-s the construc- tion of “post roads,” and this he thinks may be construed “so [as to include all roads made for carrying mails,” which A PLEASANT HIGHWAY. (An Ideal Scene Near Peekskill, N. Y.) would enable the government to “un- dertake a very comprehensive system of road building.” If an- amount equal to that now paid for pensions, say $150,- 000,000, were expended annually on the covering, say, 500 square miles, with a population of 25,000, would receive an- nually for the building of roads $50,000. This continued for ten years would grade, macadamize and gravel every . . . Is there a, single person now using the highways of the country, or whose business is in any way affected by the traffic on the highways, who would not roads as he now pays for the war with Spain? “The revenue bill passed by the last funds for carrying on the war, prom- ises to yield a much larger income than will be needed for war expenses. Broad- ly stated, it may be. said that the peo- ple of the country do not feel these war taxes, and if this bill should be contin- ued in effect, and the surplus revenue to the extent of, say, $150, 000, 000 a year be voted to the improvement of the 2 roads throughout the country, the ag- ' ricultural interests of every section would be revolutionized, farm life w ould become popular, and a vast upward-7 movement would ‘be given to every"‘ phase and feature of the business, so- cial and educational life of Ameripa.” WIDE TIRE TESTIMONY. ' Here Is-Some Which Come- All the Way from Australia, and Is Quite Convincing. v Testimony on the value of wide tire-s comes from all sections of the globe A correspondent of a paper in Sydney describes a road in which heavily-laden wagons with narrow tires sank “half- spoke deep, and in places to their wheell hubs,” and yet a. load of five tons car- ried on six-inch tires sank but two to four inches in the worst places. In dry weather, he says, the roads are cut up by narrow tires until the dust isa foot deep, and then the rain will not make l the dust set hard again. ! Agocd material for roads is gravel, ! “but no gravel loads of ten and twelve ‘ tons 011 three and four inch tires. An , experienced teamster will not speak ' about the tonnage his team can draw He will say: ‘I think the road will carry five tons’ or more, as the case mightbe. I have heard road superintendents say! 1 l .at enormous sums of money could be 2:1ved annually if broad tires were used. l The only objection I have heard raised against the wide tires is that they do 3 not fit into the ruts cut by the narrow ‘ ones, which makes the draught heavier ' upon the team. That is: partially true, but the. ruts would not be cut if all 11 the wagons‘had wide tires. Portable engines varying from six to eight horse- power and Weighing five tons and over' are drawn by lighter teams than'wag- ons w,hich with their loads, would not weigh more. This isowing to the broad tire-s already used on engines. Thea'sh 5 pans on engines are seldom more than about ten inches from the ground, but, ! l owing to the wide tires, these engines seldom bog deep enough to allow the pans to touch the ground. ” — North American Horticultul ist.

The roadsnow That Is Why Felt :l-e Agoncillo Is Pers 0113 Non Grata. Agent of the Filipino Republic at Washington Is a Shrew-d Man, But Unused to the Methods of Diplomacy. Felipe Agoncillo, the special agent of (lien. Aguinaldo, is a shrewd, cultivated man, who is all the more adroit and Dangerous because he has had the ad- vantage of the drill and veneer of the schools. It must not be forgotten that this Malay, emissary, although a pol- ished and well-educated personage, is the representative of a race that until recently belonged, and even yet be- longs, to that branch of humanity that Europeans consider uncivilized. Smooth of exterior, yet prickhis skin and the Filipino is still a savage. Spanish dominion in the Philippines has never been able to “civilize” the native Filipinos. Agoncillo, while pre- senting all the outward seeming of'a gentleman, cannot really be blamed if he inherits the instinctsof the Malay race with which he is one in blood. He is a lawyer of Manila and is a .most trusted friend of Aguinaldo, the rebel leader. For a long time he has been the repository of that leader’s hopes, ambitions and fears. It is said that Agoncillo was a sharer in the $600,000 paid to Aguinaldo by the Spanish gov- ernment in cOnsideration of the lat- ter’s abandonment of the rebellion. Agoncillo, physically, bears all‘the marks of his Malay origin. He is of small but compact frame and has the appearance of being able to stand much fatigue, either mental or phys- ical, in cas his reserve of vitality should be called upon. He is suave in manner, as are all orientals, and under a seeming quietude there dwells a firm, quick and most- i'mpulsive nature that is, to a civilized man, a complete sur- prise when it. shows itself. In one word, ' Agoncillo is calculated to offer to the untraveled and unsuspicious American one ‘of those surprising transforma- tion scenes that are known in the United States only' in theaters. For an American in New York or Chicago, for example, Aguinaldo’s agent, or spy, as he now appears to be, would seem a plain, honest, unequivo- cal man, with the bestt’interests of his country at heart, desirous of be- ing a friend of the new and big power that has comeinto the: Philippines. The American could hardly believe that he ~ could meditate a stroke against such: a- powerful government as that of the FELIPE AGONCILLO. (Agulnaldo’ 5 Representative in the United 3. States.) United States. cisely Aguinaldo’s ignorance becomes But that is where pre- apparent. Lawyer and college man as he 1s, he suffers under the delus1on that the rebel Filipinos can whip America. There he discloses the shrewdness of the fox without the natural instinct of that animal that warns him against danger 01 against a tremendously more powerful enemy. ’ When Agoncillo came to Washington he was treated with all the kindness and consideration he deserved, and probably more. tends to be ignorant of the English language, but that 111 reality he under- stands the. tongue perfectly well. He has been interviewed several time-swith the aid of an interpreter, and, if it be true that he understands English, it is probable that he will hear many things that will not be grateful to his ears. One characteristic shown by Agon- cillo since his arrival in this country is peculiarly savage? He has evinced a childish love for gay clothes and highs ly colored neckties, which, while amus- ing to many who will not regard the Filipino rebels with the same serious- ness given them by the Spaniards, has been proof positive to the thoughtful persons that he was not to be taken in good faith. Whatever may be the out- come Of the present snarl in Which Agoncillo finds himself, it is certain that few will longerfeel’" disposed to humor him as they W ould a child. Sav- age or civilized, Agoncillo must stand or fall with his deserts. How.to Measure Progress. I recently came across a remark, Writes the bishop of London in the Cornhill, that any political reputation which survives for ahundred years sur- vives because it is a. peg on which his- torians hang their theories. This does not detract from a man’s real great- ness, for what higher position could be hope to fill than that of serving as a milestone in the great track of the World’s progress? If that position be It is said that he pre- ‘ .TALKED T00 FREELYP 1031131211 v. 9111111113,. New United State. Senator from WI.» con-In II n Nntlve o! the State He Will Represent. J. V. Quarlcs is a native of W'isconsin and was born at Soutllport, now known as Kenosha. on December 16, 1843. His father’s family came originally from New Hampshire, and his father, Joseph V. Quarles. Sr., was a native of that state, but his mother was a native of' .New ‘York. Young Quarles pursued his studies in the public schools and the high schools of Kenosha, graduating from the latter when he was 17 years of age. The following two years were spent 'in teaching and earning money in other ways for the expenses of a col- lege course, which be had set his heart upon pursuing. In 1862 he entered the University of ‘Michigan as a £1 eshman He was con- spicuous among his classmates“ from th? start and, upon the organization of ’ the class, was chosen its president and class orator for that year.

B. He then entered the law department of that institution, spending a year therein. Havipg exhausted his finan- cial resourcesfhe returned to Kenosha and continued his law studies in the of- fice of 0. S. Head, a distinguished law- yer of those days, with whom, upon his admission to the bar' 1n 1868, he formed a law partnership, the firm being Head & Quarles. His ability and activity soon led to his being called outside to duties other than his profession. In 1876 he was elected mayor of Kenosha, and the two following y ears he was president of the Kenoshaa board of education. . In 1879 he was a member of the leg- islative assembly, and in ,1880 and 1881 he was the representative of Kenosha and Walworth counties in the state senate. .. NEW CHECKER BOARD. It Admits Two Men Playing fax-t. ners Against Two Others or “Going It Alone.” Many a. man has sat near a. checker board watching two contestants at work on a. game, whose fingers have, itched to make a move- the players would not see. In fact, few games are played where outside advice is not too plentiful for comfort. One man recent- ly patented a. device by means of which three players could play at the same board. Now a. Chicago man comes to the front with a board which admits of four contestants. The Englewood board admits of two men playing part- ners against the other two or all “go- ing it alone.” This four-handed checker board dif- fers radically from the old style, or the three-handed board. The latter has sets of squales outside the old beard so arranged that the players can in- lade each other’s territory at will.
