A TANGLED WEB INDEED.

When the ogden Standard referred
to the shortcomings in the character
of w. ]. Bryan" the other day, smile
went round the state press.
A Standard subscriber" inquired
through its columns, whether the edi-
tor referred to Bryan's political or pri-
vate character Now subscriber, -
who is presumably a reader. should not
be compelled to ask an explanation OF
such an insinuation in the paper he
takes and reads.
In reply the Standard admits that the
expression quoted had appeared in one
of its editorials, but claims that 'Po-
litical character" was meant. OF this
it says: organs political shortcom-
ings would fill a big book"
1t is not necessary to turn back
through the files of our Ogden contem-
porary more than twenty-three days to
find the following:
Bryan has served his country in the
political arena with a fidelity that none
can question; he now buckles on the
panoply of war and takes the rank of
colonel in the defense of the nation. If
in war he displays the tact and ability
he has exhibited in peace, his will be a
glorious record.
That was the Standards opinion
three weeks ago.
From June. 1896, until June, 1898, in
Guiding half of the present month, the
Standard bore witness TO the political
purity. honesty, sagacity, acumen and
intelligence of William J. Bryan. And
some of the praise of the silver advo-
cate was exceedingly fulsome, too. The
sudden change surprised no one, but the
contrast is full of humor.
In this connection it may be well to
add that Mark Hanna said, some time
ago, in an interview, that organs fl
nancial follies would fill book"
The Standard, be it said in justice to
our ogden contemporary does not use
the same form of expression. 1t says:
organs political shortcomings would
fill big book"

ROAD MAKING IN CUBA.

In war few things are more import
ant than road making, for upon roads
depend movements of troops; so i'm
portant is this and bridge building that
the highest military school in France is
called the school of bridges and roads.
BTigadier General Roy Stone, of Cen
eral Miles staff, has prepared a manual
on road making for the use of troops
in Cuba 1t tells what are the most ex-
peditious methods of cutting military
roads through such a country as the
Americans are now marching through
in Cuba. General Stone has made a
study of Cuba, the nature of its soil,
vegetation and forests, and, of course,
of its topography. He knows the coun-
try personally.
In his manual he gives many dia-
grams showing how the guava bush
should be cut and bound so as to make
fascines, as the bundles are called in
military parlance. These bundles are
laid lengthwise, one row overlapping
another, like shingles. Successive lay
ers of this makes a very serviceable
road for troops to pass over; this. of
course. in swampy ground. The general
plan for road making in Cuba is laid
down as follows:
If the road is an important one, il
should have about 16 feet of travel
way, and, to allow for bitches on either
side, the ground should be cleared at

wooded country. the advance or clear
ing party should be equipped with axes,
machetes. bush scythes and a few
forks, and should be instructed to cut
and clear away all vines, weeds and
small underground, and to bind UP into
bundles all small bushes less than an
inch in diameter at the ground, these
bundles TO be kept for repairs of roads.
If there is heavy timber, the second
gang. equipped with axes and saws,
will chop out ali trees, leaving the
roots in the ground, and saw the trees
into such lengths as will allow the logs
to be hauled or rolled off the roadway.
The manual is said to be very COM
plete in every respect. 1t will surely
prove OF great service in Cuba, and it
should be OF value in all new countries
where pioneer work is to be done, IS
road making is the first essential to de-
veloping country.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says that President Nc
Kinley will, within a short time, issue
an order modifying the civil service
regulations materially. He has been in
consultation with Attorney General
Griggs about the matter for several
months, and the attorney general has
stated it to be his opinion that the
sweeping orders made by President
Cleveland prior to his retirement from
Office were for partisan reasons. and
should be modified
OF course the revocation will be in
the interests of good government, and
not for the purpose of making places
to bestow upon faithful partisans. At
tcrney General Griggs seems able TO
read the hearts of men, as well as to
construe the law.

The Ogden Standard thinks one of
Bryans shortcomings is his opposition
to the gold standard plank of the ST
Louis platform. At least it says: Mr..
Bryans political shortcomings. in our
way of thinking, are his views in favor
of free trade and states rights, his OPP
position to everything Republican, his
opposition to the government when he
had accepted commission as colonel

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

Louisville Courier Journal: General
Shafter seems to possess much of the
same elements of dash. and brilliancy as
those which have distinguished Admiral
Dewey. Like the hero of Manila the gen.
eral of the invading army is prompt in de-
cision and swift in action. Once free
from those who delayed the embarkation,
General Shafter has moved with the ce-
lerity that has distinguished every great
commander. The Washington authorities
thought he might require three weeks TO
land his troops; he has accomplished it in
three days. Hard fighting was feared by
the Washingtonians who were apprehen-
sve that he would be beleaguered by the
Spanish; he smote them hip and thigh as
soon as landed, driving them back at once
upon Santiago and compelling Admiral
Cervera, who seems to be the one truthful
Spanish commander. to telegraph the
home government that the situation was
most critical.
