NEW Works. ROAD LAW.
BY Its Provisions the State Will Aid In
Highway Construction.

BY Its Provisions the State Will Aid In
Highway Construction.
In spite of opposition, mostly from
rural districts, the state Of New York
has placed a road law on the statute
books
The measure is not mandatory. It
carries no appropriation and there can
be no cost to the state unless an item Of
$4,000 or 100000 be placed in the
supply bill to carry out the provisions
for state aid. If no county in the state
wants good roads, then even this appro-
priation will be returned to the treasury
of the state.
In other words, the law will depend
for its operation Oh the desire for good
roads. If a county wishes to take ad-
vantage Of its provisions, the law d.
reefs that the board OF supervisors shall
adopt resolution asking the state en-
gineer for plans and estimates on the
work Of constructing certain improved
highways.
When they get this information, the
supervisors are to adopt final resolu-
ton declaring their intention of going
Oh with the work. This done, the state
engineer is authorized to take charge
and build the highway. The state pays
one-half the cost Of the improved road,
the county 35 per cent and the locality
benefited 10 per cent.
The whole matter of acting under the
law is left with each county to decide
for itself. The only mandatory section
OF the bill is one providing that if ma
jority OF the property owners along
highway petitions the supervisors for an
estimate of what it would cost to i'm
prove that highway, then the super
visors must adopt resolution asking
such information of the state engineer.
The second step is left permissive, and
the supervisors can refuse to order the
building of new roads.
The opposition to the bill meant sim
ply that a considerable number of the
farmers of New Y ork do not know what
good road is, remarks the New York
Times. If they did, they would not con-
tlnue to believe that a dirt road made
with a sc1aper was "good enough"
Nothing is good enough for traffic that
becomes bog for several months in the

ing back to the old system or want Of
system. a few sample miles of good
road IN every county would form an
object lesson that would convert the
community. Such an object lesson will
be provided under the new law, and
after that the cause of good roads will
take care of itself.

THE CASE OF CAPT. HART.

Many of our readers are familiar
with the case of Capt. John Hart, the
..filibustern who was imprisoned by
the United States Government more
than a year ago for the high crime(?)
of aiding and abetting the Cuban In
surgents in their brave fight against
Spanish tyranny and their attempt
to throw off Spanish oppression.
He still languishes in prison as
though he were a common felon, but
it is believed the Government will
not longer permit this wrong in view
of present coalitions. As mas been
truly said in the following:
What Lafayette did for the colo
mics in their struggle for liberty,
Capt. John D. Hart attempted for
the struggling Cuban patriots. The
former is honored throughout the
limits of civilization, and his heroic
deeds will live in history and in
song until 1.-The last syllable of re-
corded time,'' while the other pines
in penitentiary, the victim of that
infamous policy which allied this
nation with Spain against the cause
of liberty and humanity. He was a
patriot and man, like Lafayette
at time when the Spanish-Cuban
affairs of his Government were under
the control of the Spanish minister
at Washington and that creatures
associated tories in Wall Street and
Congress. The national authorities
stand to-day where John ID. Hart
stood in 1896. There is a difference,
however! They wear purple and fine
linen, and consume terrapin and
Burgundy, while he. the simple and
brave lover of freedom, wears the
garb of a convict and does common
labor in prinon!
This patriot has lain in prison
now for more than year, against
petitions that have gone up to the
President for pardon from millions
of patriotic Americans, including
every Senator except Senator Hoar,
and nearly all of the Members Of the
House. In the mean time the Presi-
dent has pardoned scores of bank
rObber cOnvicts.
Remember, Mr.. President, the ma
ton will not long submit to an out
rage like the incarceration of Capt.
Hart for .scrime' which the whole
Government and people are commit
ting to-day, will commit tomorrow,
and on every day thereafter until
the foul power of Spain has been
driven from the Western Hemisphere.
