WILL BE FREE ROAD.

Derby Turnpike to be Paid for and
 Opened on Saturday of Next Week.
 The old Derby turnpike, which has been established for over a century, will become a free highway on Satur- day, February 6.
 By a decree of the court the town of New Haven will have to pay the company $5000 out of the $S,0O0 dam- ages assessed by the various towns on that date. The decree also provides that the several other towns against whom damages were awarded must pay to the town of New Haven the va rious amounts and New Haven must pay it to the New Haven Turnpike company.
 As soon as the money is paid to the company the road will then become a free one.
 For years this road has been a poor one, and when the owners gain control of it they will unquestionably repair it and thus make a straight, good high way from New Haven to Derby. It will become quite popular as the scen- cry is very pretty along the road The change will be also a benefit to New Haven's tax list and New Ha- ven merchants, as many new houses are being erected inside the town linn its just across Derby avenue bridge and many more are to come,and as ln- creased visitations of our big depart ment stores from Derby, Ansonia, Bir- mingham and Shelton will ensue. Bi- cyclists will also rejoice as the bao state of the road and the inevitable toll gate fee and delay were objectionable This highway will no doubt be among those to be improved in the near flu. ture.

BUTTERNORTH's SPEECH.

Chicago Tribune: 1t is needless to dwell
upon the existing condition. No one will
deny that our Legislators are corrupted by
corporate wealth and that our people are
msled by demagogues 1t is more to the
point what is to be done to stop this political
decay. The least that can be done is to
sound the alarm as General Butterworth has
done and to sound it in the same bold man
ner he has used.
Detroit Free Press: All of which demon
strates that man of General Butterworth's g
years should be careful what he eats for din
ner. Such pessimistic visions bespeak an
impaired digestion. Grounds for concern and
quickened vigilance and renewed consecra-
tion there certainly are, but not for hope
lessness and despair. We are not on the
rocks yet nor under the protection Of man
on horseback, and General Butterworth
should dismiss his direful imaginings and be
of good cheer. His words of counsel and
warning will do the country good, but his
pessmism afflicts a patient people.
Chicago Chronicle: General Butterworth
has reached that time in life when men are
prone to look on the dark side of human
affairs. III our youth the leaders in politics
and all the walks of life loom up before our
eyes in exaggerated proportions. The lead
ing orators and statesmen seem to us al
most superhuman in intellect, force and
moral worth. When We reach the sixtieth
milestone in the journey Of life the con-
temporaries of our youth or men younger
than ourselves are in the saddle and so
far from eXaggerating their proportions we
are apt to belittle them, and then compare
them with the fathers whom we venerated
and whose worth we magnifed in our youth.
Perhaps the generation now in the political
zenith may not be much worse than the
last. 1t is bad enough. indeed, and every
available moral force should be applied for
it's Improvement. But it is not utterly
reprobate. There is reason to believe that
the moral forces now in action are not work
ing in vain. There is reason to believe that
they are working out practical results which
soon will become so unmstakably apparent
that even the despondil-g heart of General
Butterworth will jubilantly sing. "a thou
sand years, my own Columbia"

between Turkey and Greece should them
selves become involved in war over the

they may risk war to attain them.
Philadelphia Record Kaiser Wilhelm's
queer policy in the eastern crisis may have
some other motive than a mere desire on the
part of the war lord to play first fiddle in the
concert OF Europe. The fact that Edhem
PaSha has 100000 troops under his command,
and that another 100000 Turks, fully armed
and equipped are within easy striking dis
tance of a possible field of action I'M Europe
may explain the backing and filling tactics
of Germany whereby the sultan has been
encouraged in resisting the powers. At the
head of the triple alliance, and with mill
tant Turkey as an auxiliary member Of tho
compact the kaiser might feel that he could
dictate terms to Europe. The difficulty is,
however, that the triple alliance might go
to pieces. and Germany be left stranded in

THE !JDITSE rs TJRM.

The house of representatives again re-
fused yesterday to consider the senate
Cuban resolution, though it did some
business under Il special order. The
attempt was made, rs on Il previous
OCCASION to have the resolution taken up
~ n privileged matter, it being urged
that as it relates to our foreign policy
it is privileged. The speaker ruled
against this view, however, rs he had
done before. and he was sustained by n
vote of the house. We are not prepared
to express an opinion on the question
of privilege in connection with the Gu
ban resolution, but we have no sort of
doubt that the refusal of the house to
consider it at this time is entirely salts
factory to the conservative sentiment OF
the country. The cabinet crisis in Spain
seems to rs to make it particularly de-
Sirable that congress should let the mat
ter of our rela tionS to the Cuban CON
fct rest, since IA change in the Spanish
government may materially alter the
situation in Cuba and quite possibly lead
to conditions which would enable this
government to employ its friendly offices
for etfecting Il settlement of the war.
There is reason to believe that IA liberal
ministry in Spain would be disposed to
accept II proposal from the United States
to aid in bringing the insurrection 10 an

leans have not been disturbed by the re-

Those who say that the country Is going
