Cost of Government Per Hour.
An ingenious Englishman lias figured
out tin* cost of an hour of government
since the beginning of the century. In
France the figure's show an alarming
tendency to increase. Under Napoleon
an hour of government cost $23,000;
under Louis Piilllippe, $30,000; under
the Second Republic, $20,600; under
Napoleon III., $62,000; from 1870 to
1880, $61,500, on account of the raising
of the average ley the cost of the war
with Germany, but from 1880 to 1800
the cost was $80,000 an hour. A
French paper remarks that this seems
to prove the undesirability of paying
a government by the hour or by tlm
day; payment by the piece, according
to the work done, is the only way, it
thinks.

AGUINALDO'S FIGHTING KEN.
The Filipino Method of Resisting the Americans is to
Mass Forces Instead of Using the
. Skirmish Formation.
INSURGENTS RECRUITED FROM VARIOUS SECRET SOCIETIES.
Most of the Americans in the Phil
ippines are becoming convinced that
the backbone of the insurgent opposi
tion is broken. There are numerous
rumorp pointing to an early collapse
of the insurrection, One of these is
that General Pio del Pilar, the best
fighter among the Filipino officers,
will desert Aguinaldo and give his
support to the Americans.
The Spaniards, reasoning from
■their experience with the natives, re
fuse to believe that the rebellion is
anywhere near put down. They de
clare that the Filipinos will not take
their defeat at Malolos, with the loss
of the city and the removal of their
so-called government, seriously to
heart. Oil the contrary, the Span
iards predict that the insurgents will
hover near the American lines, both
ering them as much as possible, and,
when attacked iu force, dissolve, only
to reappear at other points, This
sort of tactics, the Spaniards say, will
be followed until the wet season
compels the Americans to be boused
in barracks, and then the Filipinos
will return aud reoccupy such towns
as the United States troops do not gar
rison. With the next dry season a
repetition of the present operations
will begin. Time alone will show
bow much there is in this theory;
but, as against it, it must be borne in
mind that the Spaniards in all their
domination of the Philippines never
gave the inhabitants a demonstration
of power comparable ineffectiveness
to that given them by the United
States.
A priest and two members of the
so-called Philippine Congress, \vho
hid themselves in the woods during
the fighting which preceded the cap
ture of Malolos, returned there and
declared that 2000 of the Filipino sol
diers were anxious to give up fight
ing, and would do so, but for their
officers, who keep them under arms.
The whole country between Malolos
and Caloocau is now full of friendlies,
mostly women, children and old peo
ple, who are returning to their homes,
carrying white flags. The Americans
are trying to gain the confidence of
the inhabitants by proving to them
that if they will return and attend to
their ordinary work peacefully no barm
will befall them. Two hundred and
fifty civilians have come back to their
homes in Malolos. Two hundred
women and children, with a sprink
ling of unarmed men, supposed to be
warriors, came to the outskirts of Ma
lolos on the sea side of the city and
afterward sneaked away, carrying ail
the goods they could.
The mainstay of Aguinaldo’s army

They would shoot without further
thought the wearer of it simply to get
that decoration.
These native have been described
in dispatches: their guerilla style of
fighting; their cruelty to foreigners
Avhofall into their hands; their heredi
tary notion of revenge.
The more intelligent natives, brought
up in and about Manila are the only
ones who are intrusted with the mod
ern gun. The Tagalos and other
tribesmen would be as apt to kill them
selves as the Americans with the Mau
ser rifles.
The reports of the tremendous
losses to the natives are not surpris
ing to one acquainted with their mode
of warfare. Their method of attack
differs widely from the cautious and
stealthy approach of the American
Indian. The Filipinos seem to gain

for companionship. This trait is
strongly brought out in their method
of fighting. They mass themselves
together like a lot of sheep, and, in
stead of spreading out in skirmish
lines, each man taking advantage of
some natural obstacle for protection,
they rush forward, often with arms
thrown around each other, much like
a gigantic flyiug wedge on the football
field. With this method of approach
it is not difficult to see how the rapid
fire guns of the American artillery
could tear holes in their formation and
no doubt layout more men than would
have been the case bad the attack been
made by skirmish lines,
At present it would be a most dif
ficult matter to say what course the
insurgents will pursue, Aguiualdo
has a fond hope for a Tagal Republic
composed of the entire group. The
whole Tagal race is most ambitious.
In the insurgeut army every man
wears some mark indicating position,
for all claim to be officers of various
rank. It has not been long since
Aguinaldo declared that he was ready
to disband his army just as soon as
assured that the United States in
tended permanently to occupy the
islands. But that does not mean that
Aguinaldo means to keep his promise,
or that he ever had any intention of
doing so, for on former occasions th«
insurgent lender ba» violated bis
promises. If the insurgents lay down
tbeir arms they will avert great trouble,

FREE-A FINE TROPICAL ISLAND.
Uies OIF the Coast of Porto Rico and May
lie Had For the Asking.
Who wants a fine tropical island in
the West Indies—a veritable “Pearl
of the Antilles?” Such an island now
belongs to Uncle Sam, but nobody
lives on it except a lighthouse keeper,
and nobody seems to care anything
about it. It is lying down there in
the Southern seas waiting for some
enterprising homesteader to come
along and stake out his claim.
Mona has a luxuriaut vegetation, is
well watered and well drained. Every
variety of tropical fruits will grow
here, and it possesses every natural
advantage that could make life easy
and pleasant. It has an area of fifteen
miles—nearly 10,000 acres.
Mona lies forty-two miles due east
of Porto Piico, in the middle of Mona
Passage, to which it gives its name,
and which is one of the highways of
travel in the West Indies, being the
widest break in the great coral reef
that joins the Antilles like a string of
beads.
Mona comes to the United States by
virtue of the second clause in the peace
treaty, which cedes “the island of
Porto Rico and other islands now un
der Spanish sovereignity in the West
Indies.” It has been celebrated in
West Indian history for hundreds of
years, and just why it remained unin
habited except by nomadic fisher folk
is bard to surmise. Nevertheless it
is true that here are nearly ten tliou

sand acres of land witiiout a private
owner, and which is or soon will be
open to any citizen of the United
States to homestead or pre-empt. In
other words, here is an ocean para
dise that will grow every kind of tropi
cal crop—bananas, oranges, limes,
guavas and other fruits; that is the
nesting place of thousands of turtles,
the green turtle of the Northern res
taurants. and the waters around which

* A Mexican Want.
In Mexico there is not sufficient an
nual rainfall to keep cisterns filled
with drinking Avater, anil almost the
only source of fresh water is secured
by baud pumps aud windmills. They
are necessary at every Mexican home,
at all mining camps and on the cattle
ranges. At the camps and on the
ranges windmills are used and they
are invariably of United States manu
facture. There is a growing demand
for windmills aud band pumps of the
latest aud most approved pattern. A
windmill or pump is as essential to a
home in Northern Mexico as a cooking
stove. In consideration of the fact
that pumps are such an important fac
tor in the economy of domestic estab
lishments, the Mexican Government
admits them free of duty.
The per capita cost of maintaining
convicts at the Michigan prison is
thirty-eight aud a half cents a day,
and the average daily earnings are
thirty-five aud a half cents.

At- present the people spend the vast
sum of $20,000,000 each year iu re
pairing their worthless roads. This
sum would build 4000 miles of thor
oughly good macadam road, sufficiently
wide for rural use.
Experiments made in the Missouri
agricultural experiment station show
that in nearly all road conditions
broad-tired wagons pull easier than
those with narrow tires. On macadam
road a load of 2518 pounds can be
hauled on broad tires with .the same
draught as a load of 2000 pounds on
when narrow ones. and On graveljfroad, except
wet sloppy on top, the
draught of the broad-tired wagon is
much less than that of the narrow
tired wagon; a load of 2482 pounds can
be hauled on broad tires with the
draught required for 2000 pounds on
narrow tires.
The trials on dirt roads give varying
results. When it is dry, bard and
f ree from dust 2530 pounds can be
hauled on broad tires with the draught
required for 2000 pounds on narrow
tires. When the surface is covered
with two or three inches of dry, loose
dust, the results are unfavorable to
the broad tire,
In general the better the road the
greater the advantage of the broad
tire. On turf it is much easier of
draught.
The Good Koads Gospel.
Hon. John P. Brown, of Conners
ville, Ind., was recently invited by
Governor Mount to address the Indi
ana State Association of Trustees,
and from his brilliant effort the fol
lowing bright shafts of good roads
advocation are worthy of cousidera
tion;
“No influence has been so potent
as the wheel in developing the system
of good roads, and all of these thou
sands of L. A. W. wheelmen are
ready to help the farmer to secure
good roads,
“Civilization and education are the
results of perfect highways, not only
among nations, but localities as well.
“The future prosperity of the State
will be determined by those’ who are
now in school. Good roads will aid
them in accomplishing their future
work in the advancement of the State.
“A good road cannot be built with
out the expenditure of much money
and great labor.
“A high land tax now means a low
land tax hereafter, while a low land
tax is the highest and longest con
tinued.
“All taxes should be collected in
cash.
i < All wealth should aid in that which
Benefits all, and in nothing is this
more true than good roads.
“The 1 State should aid in highway
construction, on which her future
welfare so greatly depends.”
Culverts.
A great deal of money is spent an
nually in bridges, culverts and sluice
ways, and it is obligatory on the coun
cil to keep them open and in repair.
It is a shiftless plan to use any mater
ial that is going to require continued
repairs, so why not use the most sub
stantial materials? Concrete pipe for
smaller sluiceways is advisable, while
for culverts, concrete is also the best,
as the lumber costs nearly as much
and is perishable besides, A little
money spent in first construction is
saved many times afterwarus. In five
or six years most municipalities will
have gone over the ground and after
that will have no further improve
ments to make in this direction.
More money will be at their disposal
then for road work.—The Municipal
World.
The Crusade in Brief.
The patkmaster should inspect the
roads under his charge after every
heavy rain storm. A few minutes’
Avork in freeing drains from obstruc
tions, filling holes, diverting a cur
rent of water, may save several days’
■work if not neglected.
A writer has recently observed that
in the matter of absorption there can
be no objection to asphalt, vitrified
bricks or stone blocks. Asphalt is im
pervious brick sfone to water, ivhile the joints of
or pavements can be easily
made practically perfect against ab
sorption.
A report from Bowling Green, Ky.,
says that measures have been taken by
the Warren Fiscal Court to purchase
the pikes of the county. The cost
will be $80,000, and the stockholders
Avill receive four per eent. per annum
on this amount until the bonds are sold
and they are paid for their stock.
Two bills are before the California
legislature for the repeal of the wide
tire law in the State. The Sacramento'
Record-Union editorially states that.
to repeal the law “will be to say to the
world that California is retrogressive, i
and denies what everywhere else ia
accepted as an economic truth.
