GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL.

There is good horse sense in the fol- lowing editorial from the Washington Star relative to the credit for the de- struction of Cervera's fleet:
 s'There is glory enough in the naval victory at Santiago to go around. Every man should have the credit which is due, without depreciating any one else.
 'The acting admiral in command of the fleet, under whose general direc- ticns the ships were stationed and in- structed for the purpose of preventing Cerv era's escape, cannot possibly be deprived of his share of the credit for the brilliant achievements of his ships, no matter how small his personal par ticipation in these exploits.
 'Ihe commodore who was the rank ins officer on the scene of actual bat tie, who was in command in the thick of the fight, whose flagship was ,thl tai get of the enemy's concentrated fire, and who received the surrender of the last of the enemy's ships cannot be de- nied a very large slice of Santiago glory.
 "1he men in command of the war ships of the republic wno responded promptly and effectively to the en- emy's challenge, and who in the hurry 1 of the unexpected encounter and chase mal euvered and fought almost entirely on their own individual judgment, ir- respective of admiral and commodore are entitled to full credit for thei1 individual victories
 ''1'he brave men upon our ships arc also to be remembered, and especially the gHnners, who have clothed them selves in imperishable glory. This i: no time for spiteful backbitings ant jealous wranglings among those whom the republic and the world honor fol the wonderful victory of Santiago"

The democrats and populists who were talking of fusion ticket for this fall already are weakening as a result of the appointment of N. o. Murphy as gov ernor. They know MT.

The retiring board Of directors of the National Education association, which met at Washington last week, voted to spell twelve words phoneti- cally. Among them are catalogue, which becomes catalog; programme, charged to program, and thorough, hereafter to be thoro. What strikes enc as curious is why the board did not select more or fewer words than twelve. If they had taken more, they might have hoped to confuse the popu- lar memory after a period, and if they had chosen just one, say the last men,

LET'S HAVE GOOD ROADS.

The Republican has had consider able to say about the value of good roads to community. It differs with the supervisors of this county and the street committee of the common coun- cil ill that it believes that good road cannot be made simply by dumping gravel on poor roadway. Rolling and sprinkling and then more rolling and sprinkling after the roadway has been formed is absolutely necessary to keep a road good. This valley pre- sents ideal conditions for good road ways Gravel in inexhaustible quantities can be secured at a low figure. The best invest ment this county could make would be the purchase of substantial steam road roller such as those which have made the roads of New Jersey and New York and Massachusetts the best in this country. The first cost would not be heavy, and with practical management the result would be highly satisfactory.
 There are roads in this county that are a disgrace to a civilized commun- ity. The only improvements, so called, are made in accordance with the plan long since discarded in pro- gressiye eastern communities, of heap ing the dirt in the center of the road and giving vehicles the option of using the ridge or the outside edges. The re- suit invariably is three roads in one. and all intolerably dusty and uneven.
 Were the roads at the outset scraped
 and then rolled with heavy steam roller. and sprinkled occasionally, driving in this valley would be pleas ure rather than a d1sagreeable task The use of broad tires would be of inestimable aid in making good roads. There is sprinkler employed on the Yuma road occasionally that ought to afford good object lesson in the value of broad tires. The writer drove a mile or more behind this cart a day or two ago. It left a smooth track at least eight inches wide on an otherwise uneven roadway. Heavily loaded and | driven with the purpose of widening | the track it would in a single day make I pretty good driving road. It is a standing advertisement of the benefit
 to region like this of broad tired ve- hicles. We are of the opinion that
 dealers in such wagons would accom-
 plish much for themselves by operat- ing one or two of these wagons a few
 days each month on notoriously poor
 highways. The farmer is not insensi-
 ble to improvements that tend to fat
 ten his pccketbook, and it would be a
 pretty dull man who, using a road con-
 stantly and seeing a broad, smooth
 track in place of pitch holes and minia-
 ture arroyas, would not be influenced
 to buy such a wagon himself. Broad
 tires are made obligatory in some re-
 gions, but in all cases their value first
 had to be demonstrated by progressive people. The supervisors and the
 city council should make an eff fort to improve the city and county
 roads on the lines we have suggested.
 The raw material for magnificent roads exists in this valley to wonderful degree. What is needed is little pub-
 lie spirit

It's all nonsense for the supervisors or the city council to say that the reads can't be improved at this time The same cry has been heard in every ceeded in securing good roads A com munity that boasts of good roads is as far ahead of bad roads community as Phoenix is ahead of Kyrene Some body has to take the initiative. As soon as the value of good roads is ap- parent the means will be forthcoming to build them. The board of supervis- .ors that will take hold of this question in earnest will build itself an everlast- ing monument

Captain Clark of the Oregon thinks that but for the speed qualities of his ship the Vizcaya and Colon might have given the Brooklyn too much to attend to and have escaped. He says he pushed the Oregon to a sixteen-knot pace and was able in that way to bring his guns to aid the armored cruiser. Is rot that an argument for the con- struction of other fast battleships, say some good for eighteen knots?

Lincoln, Neb., May 1S.-A violent tor
nado devastated wide district along
Republican river in south central Ne
braska early Tuesday evening. A spe-
cial from Franklin says: The vicinity
of Franklin was visited Tuesday even
ing by terrific rain and hailstorm.
Shortly afterward the funnel form of a
tornado was seen eight miles southeast
of town. IL swept rapidly northward
devastating the farms, groves and cat
tie ranches that lay in its path. The
forest growth along the Republican
river lies PROSTATE and tangled. The
tornado lifted the water from the river
bed where IL crossed. forming great
volume of spray and water that flooded
the valley behind IL. The telegraph
wires and poles along the Burlington
road are broken off, splintered and
twisted for nearly half n mile. Six
farmhouses are torn TO pieces, together
with outbuildings, but no one was
killed near here so far as is known. The
tornado veered eastward from this
place, passing into the thiekly settled
country of Thompson's Creek and Buff
falo township, where IL is feared there
Is loss of life and farther loss of prop
crty. Bladen reports three farmhouses
demolished, but no one killed. The
property damages are heavy at River
ton, but no fatalities are known.

MARINES SHOW THEIR PLUCK.
Cat Cable mt Cfenfuegos Harbor Un-
der n Heavy Fire from the
Enemy-Two Killed.

Key West, Fla, May 16.--Amid per-
feet storm of shot from Spanish rifles
and batteries the American forces cut
the cables at Cienfuegos Wednesday
morning. -Four determined boat crews
under command OF Lieut.. Winslow and
Ensign Magruder, from the cruiser
Narblehead and the gunboat Nashville,
put out from the ships, the coast hav-
ing previously been shelled. The work
of the volunteers was perilous. The
cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nash
vi.le and the auxiliary cruiser Window
drew up 1000 yards from shore with
their guns manned for desperate duty.
One cable had already been cut and
the work was in progress on the other
when the Spaniards in rifle pits and
battery in an old lighthouse standing
out in the bay opened fire. The war
ships poured in thunderous volley,
their great guns belching forth massive
shells into the swarms Of the enemy.
The crews of the boats calmly proceed
ed with their desperate work, notwith-
standing the fact that a number had
fallen, and finished il, returning 10 the
ships through binding smoke and a
heavy fire. One man in a Marblehead
boat was killed and six were seriously
wounded, one of whom, Robert Boltz,
is now at Key West and is expected 20
die, a bullet having passed through the
base of his brain. Harry Hendrickson,
who also may die. was shot through the
abdomen.
More than 1000 infantry on shore
kept up a continuous fire, and the bull
let's from the machine guns struck the
warships a hundred times, but did no
great damage.
Ernest Suntzenech, one of the Amer
lean seamen wounded at Cienfuegos
last Wednesday, died at the marine hos
pital Saturday night and was buried
Sunday. lie was a first-class seaman
apprentice and belonged to the United
States cruiser Marblehead. He was
shot through the left leg, in a boat,
while assisting in cutting the cable off
Cienfuegos. He died after his limb had
been amputated.

Reason for the Gu..le,. Failure.

last Tuesday laden with arms, ammuni-
tion and supplies for the use Of Gen.

OF the First infantry, re
turned Monday bringing most of her
cargo back. The army officials are
strongly inclined to lay the blame OF
the failure OF the Gussie expedition 10
the wide publicity given to the sail
ing. The Spanish forces in Cuba were
undoubtedly kept fully posted on every
detail OF the movement, and made prep
amtions 10 meet the Gussic when she
appeared off the coast. II is intimated
a press censorship at Tampa may be
established should movement OF
troops take place from here in the near
