TENDING TOWARD AN ADJUSTMENT.

Another reason for believing that our contro-
versy with England concerning Venezuela is
on the way to an honorable and satisfactory
adjustment is added to those which had come TO
public knowledge already, by the announcement
that the British Colonial Office has cordially
sponded to the request Of our State Department
that British representatives In South Africa
should be instructed 10 Use their influence for
the protection Of American citizens in the Trans
vaal In itself this exchange Of humane and
friendly communications would be significant
but the fact that II closely followed the dis
closure Of the English Cabinets decision to pub
lish the English side of the boundary more
than doubles It's Importance. 1t Is probable
that Secretary Olney's dispatch to Mr.. Bayard
invoking the good offices Of the English Govern
ment in South Africa was intended to convey
an intimation Of the pleasure with which the
Administration at Washington had heard of that
concession, and Of the grateful sentiments which
inspired it.
There can be no offence in using the words
concession" and grateful" for they are fully
warranted by the obviously authoritative dec
laration of The London Standard on Monday
that the Venezuela Blue Book would be pub
lished as soon as possible, and of the reasons
for that change Of intention. 1t says, truly we
do not doubt, that Lord Salisbury and his col
leagues have clearly recognized the meaning
and the value OF 1.-The magnanimous attitude OF
the American Nation toward Great Britain
since the sudden development Of perious com
plications in South Africa and are glad to sig
Nifty their appreciation In manner sure TO be
acceptable to this country. There Is no question
that a prompt and frank disclosure of the evil
dence on which the English Government relies
to sustain Its South American boundary claims

insure intelligent and harmonious treatment Oh
the highways in each neighborhood. which Is
totally wanting under the present primitive ar
rangcmcnt. Another important proposition OF
the committee is that there should be a law
enacted providing for the Use of wide tires Oh
vehicles to take effect in the year 1900, the
width Of tire being governed by the weight car
ried Certain II is that there is small use IN
building frs-class roads if they are to be speed
ilv destroyed by the use Of narrow tires on
vehicles carrying heavy loads. The recon-
mcndation that the convcts in the State prisons
be employed in the work of road building may
be viewed with misgiving by many citizens;
but. on the whole, the work of the committee
is deserving of cordial praise. and we hope that
II will bear fruit in legislation.

4 STEP TOWARD GOOD ROADS.

With most Of the recommendations OF the
special Committee on Good Roads appointed 10y
the Legislature the intelligent citizens Of the
State will find themselves In cordial agreement,
and they will look hopefully to see them enacted
into legislation The foundation plan OF the
committee has been borrowed wisely we think
from Massachusetts, Connecticut. NewJerscy
and other States. In which progress has been
made in the cause Of road Improvement The
committee proposes that II central body, with
headquarters at Albany, shall have supervision
Of all roads hereafter built. Provision Is made
for State aid in the construction Of roads under
certain conditions, but the initiative must be-
taken by the people Of the town or section 10 be-
benefited Petitions may be presented by the
people Of any region, by town, or by the Board
OF Supervisors Of Il county; and in general il
may be said that the State Is 10 bear Onethir,l
Of the cost Of building roads authorized by the
central body, or Highway Commission. This is
substantially the Massachusetts system, which
has produced excellent results. A large num-
Der Of petitions have been submitted 10 the
Commission there, and the desire for improved
roads Is general throughout the State 1t is pos
sible that considerable time will be required to
educate the people OF Ncw-York to the impor-
tance Of this matter, but with State aid and
State supervision it can scarcely be doubted
that the era OF road reform here will soon begin.
Other noteworthy recommendations made
by the committee and have been embodied in
the bills presented 10 the Legislature. One of
these Is that the present pathmaster system be
abolished. and that the working OUT Of road
taxes be done away with. That this will be an
important step in the right direction we have
no doubt whatever. The old system has nothing
to commend II, and 1t is chiefly responsible for
the evils Of our roads as they exist In place Of
it, il is recommended thai there be one Commits
sioner Of Highways In each town. That would

One of the ideas which Mr.. Blaine hoped TO
carry out through the agency of the Pan-Ameri-
can Conference seems likely to take practical
form in the course of the next two weeks. This
is the establishment Of permanent commission
to bring about closer political and commercial
relations between the Central and South Ameri-
can republics and the United States The com
mission is to be composed of the Ministers repre-
senting the several countries interested at Wash
ington. and it is understood that all the coun-
tries look favorably on the plan. although formal
action has thus far been taken only by Brazil
The Pan-Amercan Conference did not accom-
plish the purpose for which il was convened
mainly because of the opposition of Chill to the
projects brought forward. There is reason TO
believe that Chill has experienced change or
heart, and that the plan now under considera-
ton will receive its hearty support.
