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.

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 are natives unused to the arts of mod ern warfare and schooled only in the crude methods of the savage. Their m r // V-— m ¥• w.

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.

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, aud if they are induced to do this it will be due greatly to the fear inspired '’dZ.'VE insurgents no* *UU Aguinaldo are recruited Iron the STSS^uSTiXoaS: is said to have nan Society, which some connection with Free-masonry.

Fora long time the natives were not able to maintain an organization in Manila, owing to the vigilance of the Spanish police and spies. But the Philippine Social Club lived and to-day numbers in its membership the leading Fili pinos of Manila. Just what position these societies have taken in regard to our occupation is not known. Un doubtedly they can be a great aid or a great menace to us. 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 pif 5 PSa; MONA ISLAND, UNCLE SAM’s TROPICAL PARADISE, TO BE OPENED UP UNDER THE HOMESTEAD ACT. 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 teem rvith the finest variety of fish, ready to be given away to the first comers. * 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. ? 1 pieieieieiieieiueieieioieioioieioKjeGioK^teieK * : $ GOOD ROADS NOTES, * • i###5 wiu* Bad Bead.

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.
