There never was a time iu the history of the West Side wheu it w as so meagerly patronized by it advertisers as at the present time; and, ou the other hand, it was never so prosperous iu the additions to its subscription list, aud payments of subscription for the coming year, The reason is not hard to Cud the state of trade is such that men who are liberal advertisers are unable to spcud the money, aud the read era ef the paper are numerous who are wanting to kuow why we have Bnch a stringency in the money market- People are thinking. Our readers are hum of intelligence, aud they realize that something is radically wrong, and they are demanding a remedy. The remedy lies with the people. The time will come wheu it will be em ployed. ' The Oregon legislature is getting down to work with Hon. C W. Fulton, president of the Senate.and W. P. lCeady,speakerof the House. Bills innumerable have been intro duced. Gov. Sylvester Pennoyer has submitted his message, and it abounds in strong and worthy rec ommendations, among which are are the iepeal of the pres ent deductions for indebted ness in taxation, the abolition of railroad and other commissioners, a maximum rate for railroads, tele graph, and telephone lines, a bet ter system of road laws, the pur chase by the state of the locks at Oregon City, the creation of a State Auditing Board, and a por tage railway at the dalles of the Columbia, besides many others of less prominence, such as a fish-ladder at Oregon City, a liberal ap propriation for the State Normal , school at Monmouth, the building of a jute factory to employ the con victs in the penitentiary, to give all state and county officers a fixed salary. One of the recommenda tions is to pay the state printer a salary,the state to own its own plant and should meet with but little op- " position. "If you are one of those who are suffering from the unequal distri-1 bution of wealth you have only yourself to blame," said a well- known financier, ''you had the op portunity, why did you not take advantage of itl". Gov, Lewelling, of Kansas, expresses our senti ments when he said: "The 'sur vival of the fittest' is the govern ment of brutes and reptiles, anil such philosophy must give place to a governnieut which recognizes ' a human brotherhood to protect the rights of the laborer and pro ducer. Sectional animosities must ' be forgotten. The state is greater . than party, but the citizen is greater than the state, while the family the citizen produces is the priceless jewel of our civilization. The problem is how to make it possible ' '. for the citizen to live by his own labor. If it fails of these things it ceases to be of advantage to the citizen,, He is absolved from, his allegiance, and is no longer held by civil compact But the govern ment is not a failure. This is a generation which has come to the - rescue. Conscience is in the sad . die, and the grandeur of civilization shall be emphasized by the dawn of ' a new era, in which the ' people shall reign; when the withered , hand of want shall not be out stretched for charity; when liberty, equality, and justice shall have ' permanent abiding places in tins republic."

One cannot help but wonder why It Is that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" always proves a drawing card, and yet there Is nothing very wonderful about when once tlie plot and presentation of this realistic drama is taken Into consider ation, We have rcud "Uncle Tom's Caliin" a many us twenty times aud always with absorbing Interest, Und so, too, we have seen it presented on tlie stage forty times, mid It seems as If we enjoy the last better than any previous rendition, There are some plays like "Uncle Tom" and "Kip Van Winkle" thud will never wear out. There is thut about the plot of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" a combination of drama, com edy, wit, humor.and puthos,all blended so uuturally and real Istlo that the au dience lives through it all, become part of the players ou tlie stage, and have their sympathies aroused to a degree that makes them feel as If they were witnessing a real drama of evcry-day life.

Our prevent road yttm, a w term It, wa never intended to b anything mora than a makwddft to cover th iimnediaU necettte of pioneer Ufa. In the half century covering the period from 1880 to 1880 w expanded our great railroad ytm. It teemed that oouer or later wa thould be abl to bear th oreaut of th whUtl at our very door, and w wr proud of th prat ba- towd by th world on our railroad. Latterly w have been oouipelled to hear with ihaut beeau of th truth of tit amertion that our earth road art th very wont under th tun. Th fact mutt b apparent to every man that our roaduiaater yteiu fall at vry point to mt th neceMltle of our lnereaea potratatlou aud advanced agricultural hitemta, Th work that i dou i for tli inoit part thrown away from lack of knowledge of th fundamental prin ciple of road oonatraction. In th United Bute th altnott unt- vernal euatom of road building i direct taxation. A aupwvuor 1 appointed for th year, who principal qualification for th ofllo ia hi ability to do nothing, which entitle him to atxmt three dollar adayforhlmaelf and hi horMtolook after th road of hi district. H mt form Uil duty by oalllng out hi neigh bor to work out their tax. Utuallyno on among them kuow much about road building, but every man, being on of th ovreign peopl with a vote, con ttitute hlmtelf an luspeoU.r of highway and require a great deal of Urn to com municate hi view to th uprvlor. A an initanc of lack of practical knowledge of road building, which char acter! th ordinary tupervtaor, th following extract from a letter of Mr. Helim II. Peabody, of th World' fair liberal arta bureau, to Colonel Pop ia amnalug. to ay th least: "A crossroad wa required to connect a highway along a rtttge with th road in th valley be low, four mile distant, pausing all th way through a prlmltiv fort. Th appropriation wa barely tufncleni to build one-half th road, and th tuper vior wa bent on building th full width from th valley half way np, (topping in th midst of th uninhabited timber a road from tomewber to no wher. An engineer theorist, however, tnggeatod that h build a half width, running clear through, with intromit that, calling out th men who lived boy and wanted to get down, with tho from below who (ought to reach the ridga, h got a rueful dngla track from th ridge to the river a well a th reputation of being a man of iup rlor Judgment." It I now generally understood that onr railway ytem ha about reached it conomlo limit. Th iron road havacom a near our farm a possible. W must now go to meet them. Th real cost of transportation atlll remain in bullng our crop from th Held to th tor bouse and depot. Whatever w suffer from high tariff on railroad, th chief trouble i that a yet we have devised no method to cheaply haul our crop out of th field without large waste and wear and delay. Our ahaiu i that w are driviug our home in th Eighteenth century while our tteam engine ran in the Nineteenth. Tlie etubbortme of our fanner in re listing a change which wilt add one-fifth to their producing capital in the next half century can be overcome only when they e that their low by th present yitem far exceed any taving thateome from working out their taxe. Th goal at which we should aim a our ultimate ia either tlie macadam or th telford (tone road, Th cost of Dies doe not materially differ, the telford when well laid costing the larger mm. The grading, draining and forming th roadbed are of the same character and require boat the same amount of ma terial. The telford a ordinarily laid, however, cost about twice a much a the macadam. The latter i considered by most eaglneer fully adequate to tlie needs of this country. It consist of a roadlMtd constructed of atone not to exceed in diameter an inch and a half, j Th harder the rock used th better the road. The thickuee of th stone bed should be twelve or fifteen inches, although much i laid but six inches. Th telford 1 laid on a bottom of larger tone placed point upward. Macadam boasted that he could build permanently good roads over bog, and he did it, using a thickness of seven inches only. In this country it is not probable so thin a layer would suffice on account ot the severe freexlngs in winter breaking np the solidity. The average cost of good macadam 1 about 5,000 for a 80-foot road and half that sum for a road of fifteen feet. The roads proposed by the Richardson bill for New York state are to be nine feet wide and to cost but $3,000 per mile. Fifty dollars will keep mile of good road in repair for on year. While an important phase of the ques tion ia how to secure stone roads, another point is how to build our dirt roads until we can get rid of them. The principle of any good roadbed, whether of (tone or dirt, is drainage, and no road that ia not properly drained can ever be else than an eyesore and a waste of good money. It is not necessary that it should be rounded, but it is imperative that it be underdrained. The plan adopted by road builders in Europe to get a good bottom la to dig ditches four feet deep on each side and another down the center of the road, with crors sections. These are tiled or stoned, and the water is carried away by drains. In constructing roads remember that money spent in obtain ing a firm and dry roadbed will save a vast amount of labor in keeping It what very community should pride itself in having good country roads.
