honorable part. and at the expense OF
millions of dollars; we have been doing,
dirty work for Spain, while her olive
skinned officials have lolled in their cab
ms This is no exaggeration. With her
naval and marine strength Spain could
have thrown a chain of guard ships
about the entire Cuban coast. and out
side of that line have kept her swift
cruisers in sight of one another circum-
venting the island had she wished. This
enormous cost has been incurred in
faithful discharge of duty to Spain,
while she has been negligent of her
obligations, and the American people
have been denied expenditure of small
sums for needed river and harbor i'm
provements and other necessary pub
lie works
Our Government has under the cir
cumstances been too vigilant. The las
situde and neglect of Spain justified US
long ago in refusing to take extraor-
dinary precautions, for our treaty re-
quires the Spanish Government to do
its full part. We repeat the convic-
ton already announced, that the Span
ish have not desired to be vigilant in
these matters. The scheme of the eX-
termination of Cubans worked out bet
ter by permitting the islanders to have
just enough aid to keep alive their
hopes, and thus enable the desolation
Of the land to be more effectually ac-
complished, and the Spanish officers to
line their pockets with plunder. That
the whole course of Weyler justifies
this conclusion we believe careful ana
impartial digestion of the facts dis

most impossible to build a good road by
the piece-meal plan that the ordinary
machinery of county government at
fords. and a bond issue is too often
followed by incompeteney or worse, so
that on the whole the question of good
roads is one Of great difficulty. 1t is
not the manner of building SO much
as the management of the financial end
of the business. Where the scattering
plan must obtain there must of necessi-
ty be more or less Of bad management
on the lines The officer in charge must
try to please all his constituents, ana
this leads to such scattering of the
energy as to accomplish nothing IN
any one place; this even where it is IN
| the hands of competent men, but ex-
| perience shows that more than hait
the time the work is in very incompe-
| tent hands. And the system is to
blame. The town of Colusa struck out
| in the right direction years ago when
| it issued bonds to build a road across
the trough, but $4,000 was not enough
money. We could not have done with
out that road. No one i'll Colusa has
regretted the taxes paid on that ac-
count.
BAR AND PULPIT
| Grass Valley Union: A Santa Barbara
| preacher has deserted the pulpit for the
bar. He argues that there is a wider
field for doing good in law and poll
ties" A few months experience in his
new calling will probably convince the
! gentleman that the man who goes into
law and politics in these days simply
for the purpose of doing good has
undertaken a task more difficult than
pointing out the path to eternal saliva
ton.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.
! Marysville Appeal: There has been
some little criticism of the sturdy op-
position of the Cuban patriots to Span
ish overtures in the direction of au-
tonomy. 1t is manifest that the Gu
bans are fully determined to accept
nothing short of absolute independence
They undoubtedly have the courage of
their convictions, and, while they may
expressions, they, on the whole, deserve
and possess the sympathy and support
of the American people,
1t has been said that autonomy would
| be better than the present desperate
struggle waged to the bitter end, and
that IN refusing autonomy the Cubans
run the risk of losing ALL This opin-
| ion seems to be based upon the old
adage that a half loaf is better than
no bread. We have no sympathy with
this view of the case. A half loaf may
beworse than no bread. This is especial
iy true when in accepting a half loaf,
one stultifies a principle and sacrifices
self-respect 1t is also true when in ac-
ceptlng half loaf, one. condones the
unrighteous Withholding of the other
half. 1t is equally true when the half
loaf accepted contains a foreign sub
stance, poisonous or otherwise iniuri-
Gus, thereby defeating the very pur-
pose for which the bread is sought.

Western Horse Trade.

'I've got a job hauling lumber he

me anything that can't true" Chat is,
technically, good to pull,) because I
can get along with what I've got, but
If l can get a horse to mate this big

ter The ranchman showed him a
good sized horse, and asked him how
that would suit him. He'd do all
right" said the teamster, after looking
him over ''if he's true; will he pull?
"Pull." said the other, 'it would do
your heart good to see him pull" and
the trade was made, the smaller horse
turned over, together with a few dol
lars in money, to boot or difference
in value, to the ranchman, and the
new acquisition harnessed up in his
place and driven off.
In about twenty minutes the man
was back, this time in towering rage.
Forgot something?" blandly inquired
the ranchman. mo, sir" roared the
teamster; I'm here to give you a
humping for doin' me up like this.

Hold on said the ranchman, cool
ly. You asked me If the horse would
pull. and what 1 said was, 1t would do
your heart good to see him pull, and
wouldn't it?" On reflection the team
ster had to admit that this was So,
and that he had been. as he allowed,
fairly beat. They exchanged again,

GERMANY AND AMERICA.

Assuming that the accounts of Ger
man ill-feeling towards the United
States are verify, the matter becomes
amusing when we are told that Ger
man officials declare that America
must be disciplined and punished for
her interference in the Haytian mat
ter 1t is said also that the Emperor
himself some time ago declared that
the United States would have to be
taught manners, while now German
statesmen roar that Germany must
make ready to take the starch out of
America.
All this is ludicrous. That we inter
fered in the Haytian matter is news,
indeed. All that our country did in
that instance was to solicit President
Sam to release Herr Leuders, with
which request he complied. 1t is to
the common mortal clear that this was
friendly act 1t is conceivable, how
ever, that Germany is angered because
| Leuders was not kept in prison to give
the Emperor excuse for blowing hole
! through the little insular Republic.
/ Evidently the jingo Germans, among
whom the Emperor is to be rated, are
deSirous for trouble with the United
States. 1t will be difficult for them to
bring about a conflict however There
| is no cause for quarreling between the
two nations; nor is there likely to be,
except Germany herself furnishes it.
/ The latest attack by Germany upon
American pork and pork products can
hardly be worried into a difficulty in
volving unfriendly relations. If the
Germans do not wish to use American
pork there is no power to compel them.
We ask only the same rights in COM
mercial dealing that are accorded to
other foreign countries Until there is
unfrfendly discrimination then, Amer
lea will smile and preserve the peace,
despite the glowering of the German
sensationalists.

Dining Abroad.

An amusing account of a dinner IN
Budapest is given in What to Eat
for November. An American physician
was invited to dine at the house or
prominent journalist. He was in
troduced to an Austrian who, the host
whispered proudly, spoke English hu-
emily.
Il saw that Mr.. Fehevary was not at
his ease, for his English and reputa-
ton were at stake says the doctor.
Our Magyar friends Immediately
wished US to speak English to each
other, and circle was formed around
US as if we were two prize lighters
ready for the fray. | said:
How do you do, Mr.. Fehevary?'
Most vell, he answered bravely.
Where did you study English?'
I'm myself he said with great eff
fort"
The Young woman the doctor took
out to dinner had come in from the
country especially to meet him. She
was much disappointed to find the gen.
tleman from America was white. She
piled him with all manner of questions.
Dinner began with chicken soup,
and" continues the narrator "of

Next came roast goose that melted
upon the lips like butter; green peas

cause the kind I meant asked no ques-
tions; but l controlled myself and said
instead that they couldn't compare with
Hungarian geese. Spring chicken, fried
in olive oil-the chicken better than the
goose-was the third course.

interlocutor, and what did we do with
them?'

said. Dessert, which has no namesake

The news is that China has acceded
Kaichou Bay and so much of the
mainland as is necessary for occupancy
Of the waters, the earlier story of ces-
sion of Sam sub Inlet being denied. If
then we have on the historic page of
the century record of one of the most
shameless conquests over a helpless
people by a great military Power to
which the worlds annals bear any
testimony. That this conquest by Ger
many will inspire other Powers to seize
upon parts of China's domain is not
impossible; nay, it is not improbable.
The Record Union" foreshadowed
such a possibility the other day, and
row the dispatches speak of such in
tentions as already in mind in the
English Cabinet, and as contemplated
by Russia also Our forecast then, that
before the close of the century coast
China may be divided up and parceled
out among the great European Pow
ers, may turn out to have been pro-
phetic. In that case, what will be the
situation of the United States? Does
not the bare suggestion of such exten-
sion of European power in the Orient
emphasize the necessity for acquiring
Hawaii, that these predatory nations
may not establish themselves upon our
natural outposts?
