SIDNEY.

Our farmers have been push
ing their work the past week and if
the weather continues good an.
other week it will find them well
up with their work.
C. w. p. Oliver has been very
low for several days but is some
better now and we hope to see
him en- our streets soon.
Our Sunday school come out
of winter quarters yesterday and
we hope there will be so much
interest awakened in this work
that it will not think Of going
into winter quarters again.
We give below a few reasons
why we think the people Of Eve.
ming Shade, Sidney, Polk and
Cushman should wake up and
build a good road from the "Gem
Of the Hills" to Cushman.
1t would save to your place
$500 in the way Of hauling
freight, II would put you in
three hours communication with
the railroad. II would save Sid
ney at least $3.50 on freight haul
ing and put her in easy com
munication with the railroad. 1t
would save about $3.50 a year in
wagons and horseflesh. 1t would
give Cushman q boom in the way
Of trade. Such a road as we
need and could make would DO
of vast benefit TO the three towns,
but this would be but a small
part of the benefits to be gained

DIR. J. ". Tibbles of Reeds

thusiastic members of the road
league.
C. H. Matheny showed his en-
thusiasm by lending his presence
and influence to the organization
of the league.
Gave City illustrated her true
southern hospitality by throwing
wide open the doors of her COM
Portable home and bidding all to

-Batesville sent good delega-
ton to the convention. OF the

son is decidedly the most enthus-
iastic advocate of good roads in

w. w. Powell, editor of the
Weekly Bee, and lawyer Of
ability, showed that he was ready
to practice what he preached, by
being present at the convention
and doing all that he could to
make it a success.
***
1t is said that the league
elected the ugliest member it had
for president. We have not
heard this disputed. But we are
sure what Bro. Gray lacks in
beauty he will make up for in
good solid horse sense and hard
work.
DIR. Case presided during the
temporary organization Of the
league to the great satisfaction
of all, and to say that he was
pleased with the work is putting
it rather light. He stated at the
close that more practical results
would come from the organiza-
ton than had, or were likely to
follow the Good Road meeting
at Little Rock.

ECHOES FROM THE ROAD
CONVENTION.

DR.. j. W. Tibbles of Reeds
Creek, was one of the most en-
thusiastic members of the road
league.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-12-01

1t is now said that the despatch from
Berlin which represented that our min
lister to Germany had been instructed to
INQUIRE what the German government
was going to do in regard to the case of
Lueders, German subject arrested and
imprisoned by the Haytians, was entire
~ unfounded, and it is stated that no
communication whatever has been sent by
our government to Minister White on
the subject Nevertheless the Washing
ton authorities are somewhat concerned
about the matter and are watching de-
velopments. UnquestioDably it is Ger
many's right under international laws to
make inquiry into the subject, and II
Lueders has been wronged, to demand rep
aration and even compel it. We made no
objection when the English landed at
Corinto and compelled Nicaragua to pay
damages for an affront to a British con-
sui, and if Germany confined herself
simply to obtaining reasonable reparation
we shall not interfere with her. But
anything like a permanent occupation
of the island or any excessive demand
upon Hayti would undoubtedly draw out
from our government strong protest,
to be followed, if that were not needed,
by forcible resistance. While the Mon
roe doctrine pledges us to resist the estab-
ishment of foreign dominion on this
continent and interference with existing
governments, it imposes upon us no OBJ
legation to shield the Haytian republic
or any other state to the south of us
from proper punishment for their insults
and their outrages. The sooner these
states understand that the better for
them and the better for US also.

AFRAID OF CAPTURE.
One of Bangor's Reasons for Wanting an
Army Post.

The Bangor Board of Trade is circulat.
ing petition to the secretary of war ask.
ing that an army post be established in
that city. The petition, among other
thins, says:
LIST. The State of Maine is nearly sur.
rounded by foreign territory, and IL
entirely unprotected from invasion and
capture in case of war.
I'd. The State Is pierced through its
centre and in its western part by two
railways, which are under the control Of
foreigners and foreign capital, and nc
means have been taken to secure the
State against invasion by either of these
railways or otherwise.
3rd. We respectfully submit that the
people of this State are entitled to an as
sured protection from the general govern
ment, and that steps should be taken il
time of peace for protection in case wal
should occur, and that for the reasons
stated an Army Post should be estab
lished in this State.
4th. Bangor is the last large town or
our eastern frontier. A trunk line leads
directly through it to the important cen.
tiers of ST. John and Halifax. The Ban.
gor & Aroostook railroad penetr9 ties New
Brunswick on two other points and gives
access to the Canadian Pacific railway in
case that road is to be destroyed. A rail
way will be built through Washington
county and Bangor will then be on an.
o her important route to the Provinces.
1t Is also at the head of navigation or
the Penobscot, by which it can be cheaply
supplied with coal and other necessities
and at the same time be safe from an at.
tack by water.

THE SEASONS RECORD.
Some of tho Results of Football as Played
in 1897.
Chicago Tribune. J


There is reason for congratulation in the
fact that the representatives of seven
Western colleges-the Northwestern Uni
versity, Purdue University, and thu Uni
versities of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin-have met to-
gether and decided to eliminate all the
features of brutality which have made
the game of football SO Objectionable.
At this meeting the following resolution
was passed:
Resolved, That the conference unani-
ously favor such modification of the rules
now governing football as win make the
game less rough, and that to this end the
chairman of this conference appoint a
committee of three, of which he shall be
member, to draft and report to the
members of this conference before Jan. l.,
1898, such modification of the present
rules as seems wise.'
The passage of this resolution confirms
and sustains every charge which has been
made by The Tribune against the game
of slugball as it has been played during
the season of 1897. AS to the necessity
|
few statistics. Among the minor acct
dents on Thanksgiving Day and the day
previous were the following:
German, Frederick, Md, leg broken.
Carpenter Anderson, Ind, shoulder
broken.
Hebron, Milwaukee, Wis, hand brok-
en-.
Maercklein. Milwaukee, Wis, badly
bruised.
Hayward, Nebraska College, nose brok-

We observe that Senior Dupuy de LONE.
the Spanish munster at Washington, in
his comparison between the autonomy
that is to be offered to Cuba and that
which Canada enjoys, stops when he gets
to the tariff feature of the Cuban measure.
He points out close resen blances between
the constitution of the legislative bodies
proposed for Cuba and those of Canada
and in the suffrage qualifications. but
whe he gets to the tariff feature, which
is by far the most important one of the
schedule, he forgets all about Canada,
merely pointing out that it is about as
liberal as most colonists enjoy. That may
be SO but it is far from being as liberal
as Canada enjoys. There is to be a pref
erential duty on all articles agreed upon
between the home government and the
| insular government. How many articles
this will co yer nobody can tell. AS the
ultimate arbiter is the Spanish Cortes, or
committee of it, in case of dispute, it
will be seen that it is possible that the
selection of articles on which preferen-
tial duty is to be placed may be made to
rest with the Spanish Cortes entirely.
Certainly in the light Of this preferential
provision it cannot be said that Cuba
has been given freedom to make its own
tariff. Far from it.
