The city of Chicago offere 1 to pay
for one-sixth of all the good roads it
quired throughout the State of Ill
inois, but the farmer repietentatives
of the Legislature ''yelled joyously '
when they defeated the good roads
bill requiring tho State to pay fifty per
cent, of tho cost of roads, the county
th.rty-tive per cent, and tho properly
owucrs petitioning for the rosul hfteeu
per cent.
As one-third of the taxable properly
of the Statu is iu Chicago, it would
seem as though the people of that city
would have opposed tho bill, but they
did not. It was the farmers who
jumped on the bill with ghoulish gleo
aud ripped it up the back. The think
ing people of Illinois are now wonder
ing if 1 li 0 farmers would accept good
lea Is, wire they olVerod to them free,
with a ninety-nine year guaranty to
keep them iu good repair.
It is evident some of our good farmer
friend", who are floundering iu the
mud several mouths every year, are
ia il v in ne.- l of some mental phos
phate. liceause of its deep, soft soil, Ill
inois is thought to ji the champion

Coal In China.
It ia doubtful if the prospects of
railway niakiug iu China would lie bo
attractive were it not for the rich de
posits of coal possessed by the Em
pire. Coal is said to have been found
in every province, and theie are good
reasons for believing that, in the mora
or less dim aud distant future. China
may be tho greatest eoal-pro.lueiug
country in the world. Iu Sh.m-si, iu
tho north of China, is a continuous
field, 13.500 miles iu area, of anthra
cite coal, said to be equal to tho best
Pennsylvania, iu seams up to forty
feet, aud nowhere less than lifteeu
feet in thickness. Iu the same prov
inco is also a rich bituminous deposit.
The fontheastern part of tho province
of Hunan was reported by i'wcbthofou
to the Shanghai Chamber cf Com
merce to be "one (rrent coalfield" of
21, TOO equate miles in extent. Some
of the most important of the recent
railway concessions- have reference to
coalfields, though it may lie stated
that some of tho miues are well situ
ated for water carriage. The coal de
posits of Szeehiien havo been fre
quently referred to by tiavelers, aud
Mrs. Bishop found nn enoi mons coal
traffic on tho Kiuhug Bivcr. All the
mines of the interior have been uutil
now worked iu a primitive slipnliod
fashion by the Chincso themselves.
At Kaiping, however, in the prov

some time past been v.i.rked under
European manngemenl, in connection
with a railway to the seaboard; nnd
from tho Faugehau-hsion mines I'ek
in is supplied with coal.
Kear to the coal seam of Shan-si
are large deposits of iron ore, which
tho Chinese have hitherto smelted by
native methods. This primitively
conducted industry isulieady of great
extent- To what extent it may grow,
with railway connection nud European
technical skill, who cau say'' In sev
