Two Kinds of Asphalt.

To the Editor OF The Times,
1t is stated that the conference com
Inittcrs OF thetwo Houses have agreed upon
a provision to lease the asphalt lands, COM
prised in the Uneompahgre reservation, in
Utah, on a royalty of 10 cents ton. 1t
was proposed in the bill, as it was
originally introduced to sell these land.

slipped through the House There is
fat ioh behind all this 1t was asserted
in the House that syndicate Is already
organized and ready to grab these lands,
and the provision was inserted at IT'S
instication, and for it's especial hehoof,
hoping TO have il slip through unnotoed.

Cove rnuent out Of it. / have given
some Investigation to the asphalts i'll
common use in our cities, however, and |
have found to my dismay that this great
Government, that essays TO protect It's
peopIe in their industries, does not practice
its own precepts. There are above eighty
miles OF asphalt pavement In Washington
and every foot OF ii Is laid with imported
material | am assured beyond all con-
troversy. and it Will surprise many to see
il stated, that the Kentucky asphalt Is as
good or better, than the Trinidad, and yet
this Government buys the British stuff in
preference.
Trinidad. must be mixed with oil, sand
and lime dust To make It work, whereas
the Kentucky product may be put down in
its natural state. IL is asserted by those
who ought TO know, and with much reason,
that the introduction of foreign substances
tends t. dislntegratioH that it rots and
thus ruins the pavement prcmaturely. The
nearer the natural sta'e it ca be utilized
the more enduring it is, and it is in this
that the Kentucky product cXccls.
| am surprised that this Congress, so
overwhelmingly for protection, should not
have provided protection for our own
product and put stop to importing the
foreign stuff, instead OF fostering a job
to swindIc the Government out of lands
that it must first swindle the Indians out
of There is not a foot of our own asphalt
in Washington, and they do not seem to
know that it exists. Here is, Indeed, an
infant industry worthy Of being fostered,
and yet, while the party In power prates
of protection to everything else, these
broad, Leautiful streets mock their pre-
tensions and cry shame upon their neglect
of a deserving home industry 1t is a
shame that the Government itself must
be a rarty to transactions that build up
and enrich foreign enterprise and gives
not cent of its patronage at home. Why
not try It? Congress is asleep on this mat
ter Every time a member sets his foot
on this Trinidad stuff he ought to go
around the corner and Kick himself.

The Cuban Lexington.

Amid the wild and irrepressiale enthu-
siaSm and JOY OF one of the greatestcroWds DIS
that ever overran the galleries and cor
ridors OF the United states Senate, Senator

ligereucy of the Cuban Republic was

vote OF fort y-one yeas to fourteen nays
Hundreds of liberty and humanity loving
American women, burning with rage at
the fiendsh and nameless outraGes COM

Navy OF tie United States, had sat all
day patiently and prayerfully waiting for
the end, and, when it came their shouts

made. The scene was one perhaps never
before presented in that historic chamber.
1t was the glad voice of a free people i'll

LETTERS FROM TIMESREADERS
The Freedman's Hospital.

To the Editor of The Times:
II is a matter of genuine regret among
the colored people of Washington and
throughout the country that the position
of surgeon-n-chef Of the Freedman S
Hospital should at last become d political
football, and be subject to all the dis
turbances that necessarily follow i'll the
wake of party defeat.
The hospital, sustained as 1T is, by
governmental appropriation, is thereby
made Government institution, and as
such, is the only institution managed and
controlled 10y professional colored men,
the only position under the Federal Govern
rent where the professional and executive
ability of the eolored raceis given IL fail
oppoI tunity for full development. Any ef-
foIt, therefore, to make such Change in
this position, as will involve the POSI-
hility of taking it out of the hands OF the
colorcd race, will obviously work an IRE
parable injustice to our race.
The present clamor for change must
be attributable either to political reasons
or to a disS satisfaction with the present
management.
If the anticipated change is to be Eased
upon political reasons alone, it is clearly
out Of harmony with the spirit and pur-
pose of the whole Government attitude
toward the hospital in the past, and at
variance with the established and uni
form practice in dealing with such lu'
stitutions throughout the country.
Hospitals are, in their nature, unlike
other organized institutions. Helpless
human lives are the objects with which
they deal, and the preservation of human
life is the standard of success in their
management And the highest success
is only attainable through stability "f
policy, where the policy is right and pro-
greSSive and the officers efficient and
worthy.
II, ON the other hand, the contemplated
change is to he the result Of dissatisfaction
with tue present management, would IL not
be well to inquire more fully into such a
cause with view TO ascertaining whether
the dissatisfaction is general or confined to
the few who seek to control the manage
ment for themselves.

An inquisitive statistician has discovered
.hat in go per cent of the divorce cases
recorded m Chicago courts, the trouble
included the fact that 1.-THE defendant did
with willful and with malicious intent, hurl
at me on such and such a day such and
such missiles +" The missiles are widely
different in character, and some Of them
hit the mark and some did not, but they
all had their effect, and paved the way
for the div orce court. 1t is a question why
this form OF combat between unhappy
couples should he so general. Perhaps It
Gates back TO the days of our monkey
ancestors, who, presumably, threw cocoa
nuts at each other when they wished to

things are usually handler than clubs;
and perhaps it arises from the desire to

son wishes to hit hack At any rate, the
impulse to throw things arises very early
in human nature, and in some cases con-
tinues in its pristine strength through life
The history Of these divorce cases-and
Chicago couples are probably not so very
different from other couples--indicates that
most Of the quarTels began at the break

a very large percentage OF plates, dishes,
glasses, pitchers and other implements Of

the courage Of his convictions in backing
