ABOUT STREET PAVING.

The good influence that street paving
would have on the business interests OF
the city can hardly be overestimated.
The same beneficial effects which it has
everywhere else would necessarily be
repeated here. That it is paying in
vestment, all cities that have tried it
will readily admit.
1t is the most effectual method OF ad-
vertising that any municipality can
adopt.
IL tie principal streets OF the city
were paved they would be constantly
crowded by people in vehicles of every
description, on bicycles and a-foot,
anxious to find clean, smooth place to
ride and promenade.
When strangers then entered the city
they would very naturally exclaim:
"Hoy crowded are the streets OF Pueblo.
What a lively, business like air tho city
has" And they would go away to
spread the report that Pueblo is the
very best town they had seen anywhere.
The paving Of the principal streets
would mean more capital invested in
business blocks, and it takes building to
snliven any city and give it an air Of
business anG progress
It lies with the owners Of real estate
abutting the streets to be paved to
make the start. The public may clamor
for paved streets, tho chamber OF COM
msrcs may resolute in favor Of them and
the business men may petition for them

PROPOSED NEW STREET CAR
LINE.
The Construction of the New Street
Railway is Problematical.

The survey for the new street car
line extending from the eastern eXtrem-
ity of the line on Northern avenue
Bessemer, out to the Philadelphia
smelter, the Nucsolls Packing Co., and
the Riverview cemetery has been com
pleted.
1t would require a considerable
amount OF hard cash to construct the
line, and in the present depleted con
dltion of the treasury of the Pueblo
Electric Street Ry. Co, it is "A question
il anything will be done at this time un-
less fair sized bonus is put up by the
institutions helped by the new line.
There can be no question but that the
Philadelphia smeter, the Nuckolls
Packing Co. and the Riverview Gem
etery Co. would each be beneticiaries Of
street car service, but to what extent
is for them TO consider. That bonuses
have been offered we are aware, though
we are not at libcr.y to state the
amounts at this time. However, the
ssreet car company VIII hardly feel
justified in accepting them until they
get in better shape.
There is no doubt but that the line
would have fair patronage of working
men, who would ride to and from their
work, but the company figures that its
profits would depend on the amount OF
travel out to the cemetery, and that is
problematical.
With the brightning up of things gen
orally next fall, however, it would not
be surprising to see the new line built.

the former were Senor Sagasta, the

Martinez Campos, the captain general
of Cuba, who gave way to Gen. Weyler.

UNTRooDEN GROUND

Goal OF q Party of Scientific ExplorerS-
By the Aid OF Mortar and Kites Will Scale
q Rectangular Tablet with Perpendicular
Sides Seven Hundred Feet High-Indics-
tions of Occupancy by Prehistoric Race
BAYoNNE, n. j., June 7.-Prof. VIII
liam Libby, Jr., of Princeton univer-
sity, will leave for Albuquerque, n. NJ,
early in July, with party of six ex-
plorers. Their plan is to attempt to
scale relatively a rectangular tablet,
shaped like a figure s, with per-
pendicular sides seven hundred feet
high. The outcroppings of red sand
stone project from the face of the walls,
making it almost inaccessible. There
are indications of occupancy by pre-
historic race in the fragments-of pot
terry at the base of the formation.
Prof. Libby has arranged to throw a
line over the table of land, which is sew
eral acres in extent on top, by means
Of the tandem kites, with which
experiments were conducted here
Saturday by VIM. A. Eddy, who sent
up three large kites, which were main
tanned some time in the air, although
the wind was too light for a satisfac-
tory experiment.
Prof. Libby has a mortar and life
line packed ready for shipment with
which an attempt will be made to fire
line over the tablet in case the wind
is too light for the kites. Larger lines
will be dragged over and the ascent
made in boatswain's chair. The ta-
BILE land can be approached on all sides
and is surrounded by Il plain, but so
far it has never been scaled. Some
cliff dwellings have been seen along
its edges aloft. Mr.. Eddy says that
the top of the table land can be pho
tographed by means of his mid-aIr
kite camera.

LITERATURE.
The Diseases of Modern and the
Health of Classic Styles.

The Diseases of Modern and the
Health of Classic Styles.
Modern literature has been more or
less sentimental since Petrarch, NOR
bidly subjective strain has existed in
it since Rousseau, while of late quail
ity is beginning to appear which we
cannot better describe than as neurotic.
We simply say, to paraphrase an utter
ance of Chamfort's, that the success OF
some contemporary books is due to the
correspondence that exists between the
state of the authors nerves and the state
of the nerves of the public. Spiritual
dependency, which, under the name
of acedia, was accounted one of the
seven deadly sins during the middle ages,
has come in these later days to be one
of the main resources of literature. Life
itself has recently been defined by one
of the lights of the French deliquescent
school as "an epileptic fit between two
nothings."
1t is no small resource to be able to
escape from these miaSmatic eXhala-
tions of contemporary literature into
the bracing atmosphere of the classics,
for of him who has caught the pro
founder teachings of Greek literature
we may say, in the words of the "Imita-
tion," that he is released from a null
titude of opinions. We may apply to
authors like Sophocles and Plato and to
those who have penetrated their deeper
meaning the language the Buddhists
used to describe their perfect sage
language which will at once remind the
scholar of the beginning of the second
book of Lucretius: "When the learned
man has driven away vanity by earnest
ness, he, the wise, climbing the ter
raced heights of wisdom, looks down
upon the fools. Serene he looks upon
the toiling crowd, as one that stands
upon a mountain looks down on them
that stand upon the plain.

THE CRISIS IN SPAIN.
The Most Difficult Situation Since
the Death of Alfonso.
One OF Two Things Must be Done, Either
Adhere to the Canovas Cabinet, with All
Its Faults, or Call Senior Sagasts, LIB
berRl, to the Head of Affairs

New YORK, June 3.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
crisis is extremely grave. The excite
ment in political and financial circles
is intense. Never since the death of
King Alfonso MI, in 1856, has
Queen Christina found herself in
SO serious and difficult a posi-
tion. One of two things she must
do. She may keep Senor Canovas
as premier with his conservative cabi-
net intact or modified, and keep Gen.
Weyler in Cuba to perse we're in his
present policy, with the ample means
recently voted by the cortes; or she
may call on Senor Sagasta to form
liberal cabinet, in which Senor MOret
probably would be minister of foreign
affairs, with opportunity to follow his
weil-known inclination to come to an
understanding with the United
States; Senator Maura, the great
home ruler, minister of the
colonies; Marshal Lopez Do'uinguez,
war minister; Spain's best tInancier,
Senator Gamazo, minister of i.Lance,
aud which cabinet probably would
send Marshal Campos to Cuba with
full power to concilIate the insurgents
and the loyalists by establishing more
radical home rule than Senor Canovss
contemplated.
The queen can only pursue the latter
course after duly considering all the
prospects. because it would be virtu-
ally stalking everything on the success
of the liberal government and policy.
The liberals seem confident, the con-
servatives are downcast. In the mill
tary clubs and in political circles, the
majority believe that the queen will
decide to have liberal government.
The general impression throughout
the city tonight is Senor Sagasta is
likely to succeed Senior Canovas as
prime minister, as the latter could
hardly revise the colonial policy or re-
call Weyler.

TROUBLE FOR THE DONS

Caused by Senator MOrgans Belligerency
ResoIution-The Cabinet Resigns.
Madrid, June 2.-The premier, Senior
Canovas del Castillo, has rendered to
the queen regent the resignation of
the cabinet, owing to the difficulty the
ministers experienced in carrying on
the government in view of the parlia-
mentary situation caused by the re-
fuSal of the liberals to take part in the
deliberations of the corteS.
This attitude of the liberals is due to
the personal encounter between the
duke of Tetuan, the minister for for
eign affairs, and Prof. Comas, liberal
senator, on May 81, when the duke
slapped the face of the senator after q
heated debate on the Morgan belliger-
ency resolution adopted by the United
States senate.
The queen regent will hold cabi-
net council tomorrow in order to dis
cusS the situation.
