Americans who visit Europe, and
come home with complaints Of the In
feriority Of our roads, would do well to
remember that this country is still
young, that our population Is compara-
lively small and Is spread over wide
spaces, and we have had our hands full
Of the business Of setting up national
housekeeping and training a wild con-
tinent to civilized uses; but our coun-
trymen are a practical folk, and now
that the "good roads movement" has
fairly begun, 1t Is sure TO spread from
sea to sea, and from the rivers to the
ends Of the land. The advent of the BIZ
cycle helps; the coming propulsion Of
carriages by storage-batteries will help
more; and meanwhile every enlighten-
ed owner Of vehicle or draft ami
NAL Is quick to see where the economy
comes In. And the invention and use
of road building machines is creating
G new art and new industry.

According to report received from
persons arriving at Port Townsend on

veloped in the capital of the Klondike,

the Dirigo came up the Yukon on the

were met at Fort Selkirk on their
way to Dawson, where they will be
stationed for the winter. The Dirigo
brings news of the arrival at Juneau
of the steamer Excelsior with a large
crowd of Copper river prospectors,
who report that about 400 men will
winter at Klutina lake, while few
will remain at Valdez. Captain Aber-
crombie is caring for twenty-five or
thirty destitute men. Several lives are
reported to have been lost in the
struggle to reach the coast from the

A correspondent Of the Cork Examin-
er claims Ireland as the birthplace Of
Admiral Sampson and says that he first
saw the light almost under the shadow
Of the Moore abbey, now in ruins, just
outside of the village Of Galbally,
County Limerick, and close to the con-
fines Of the glen Of Aberlow." Ad-
miral SIMPSONS father, according to
the correspondent, was blacksmith,
who emigrated to America when the fu-
lure admiral was but a mere child. The
first of the Simpsons who came to Ire
land was a colonel in Cromwell's ar

This gives a good fighting stock and
genealogy to the admiral, who is now,
wherever he may have been born, as
good an American as any Spaniard
could wish.

Despite the successful suppression
Of It's latest revolution, the outlook for
Italy Is unfavorable. To the constant
but secret assaults Of the politicians
of the vatican is added the permanent
unrest of the tax-burdened populace.
Socialist agitators are everywhere,
while the Christian democratic move
ment, with the approval Of the papal
chancery, Is making headway. Cabi-
nets may come and go, premiers may
rise and fall, but the outlook, under
existing or similar conditions, must
still remain disappointing and disheart-
ening to the monarchy.

Spain, in reality, loses little by this
war except some ships. Cuba she had
made worthless to herself and to the
rest Of the world. The Philippines
were rapidly approaching the same
condition. Since the war began she
has not sent a soldier nor musket to
Cuba and she has some Of the soldiers
already there returned to her on pass.
She spent some money in tolls for the
passage OF her feet through the Suez
Canal, but the crews can say with the
old whaler captain in the story that
though they did not 'get any oip' they
had mighty fine SAIL" Her colonies
have never been In the true sense out
lets for superhuous population, nor yet
commercial feeders. They have been
q source of deep-seated civil corruption.
Spain has large Industrious and thrift
ty home population and a diversified
territory, part Of 1t agriculturally pro-
ductive, part rich in minerals. Her
coast population are admirable sailors,
and she Is favorab1y situated for COM
merce. If she win abandon her
medieval methods, there is no reason
why In ten years she should not find
herself more prosperous than she has
been since the fifteenth century.

AGUINALDO's FORCE MELTING.
Maior-General E. S. Otis Cables Situ-
alton in Philippines.
A dispatch from Washington says:

A dispatch from Washington says:
Maior-General Otis has cabled to
the War Department review OF the
situation in the Philippines, showing
that Aguinaldo's influence is on the
wane. General Otis states that Agui-
naldos forces are being rapidly depict
ed. Many of the deserters are joining
the Spanish party, apparently Of the
belief in the possibility that the is
lands may be returned to Spain. The
situation is peaceful and there is lit
tie danger of trouble between the ma
tives and Americans, and General
Otis expresses confidence in his abil-
ity to cope with any developments.
Secretary Alger sent a copy Of the
dispatch to the state department andit
is expected that it will be cabled to
the American commissioners at Paris.
Adjutant-General Simpkins, who
has just returned to Washington,
brought with him from Manila all the
correspondence which had passed be-
tween Rear Admiral Dewey and Ma
jor-General Merritt and Aguinaldo.
This correspondence shows conclu-
sively that the American officers en-
tered into no alliance, implied or di-
rect, with Aguinaldo, and that the
hands Of the government are tied in
no way as a result of cooperation
with the insurgents. Some of the more
important passages of the correspond
ence have been cabled to Paris and
complete copies were forwarded to
the commissioners by mail.

If we are to become dominant in the
commerce Of Mexico, in the Central
American and South American repub-
lies as well as in the islands which we
are about to acquire as result Of the
war with Spain, 1t becomes our mani
fest duty to offer the American youth
an opportunity to acquire q knowledge
Of the language that Is spoken in all
these countries. The reason Great
Britain has controlled the commerce
Of Mexico and the South American ma
tions Is because her consular repre-
sentatives in those countries speak the
Spanish language and because no Brit
ish merchant or manufacturer would
thing Of sending representative to
them who was not familiar with the
Spanish tongue. The trade Of Mexico
and the entire South American contin-
ent Is ours by reason Of geography and
by reason Of our Incompatible facili-
ties for supplying the articles they need
Or want for less money than they can
be purchased in Europe. But we can
not get this trade unless we get in
touch with the people, and the only
way to get in touch with them is to
speak their language. We have not
even cared to send consular representa-
tives who could speak the language Of
the countries to which they were ac-
credited. This is short-sighted pol
icy. There are indications that our
commercial awakening will soon re-
suit in reforms so far as the govern
ment is concerned. But even Spanish
speaking consuls will not be able to
control this trade against competitors
who can converse freely with mer-
chants, traders and miners In their ma
tive tongue. The Republic Of Mexico
evinces more business sagacity in this
respect. Believing that the English
speaking races are destined to domin-
ate the commerce Of the world, the
Mexican government makes the teach
ing Of the English language compul-
sorry in the public schools. The Mexi-
cans and South Americans are eager
to trade with us. Our greatest possible
commercial development lies in the
southern lands of our own hemisphere.
We should not wait until all the ma
tives of the Latin-American countries
learn the English language. The most
of them will never learn It.

Last spring corporation known as
the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company
established at North Lubec, Maine,
complicated apparatus which was said
to extract gold from sea-water. For
several months gold bricks, alleged to
be the outcome of the process, were
regularly shipped to the New York
assay office. In July the chief promo
ter Of the scheme, man named Jer-
negan, suddenly disappeared. The per-
sons who had invested several hundred
thousand dollars in his enterprise were
informed a few days later that they
had been grossly deceived. It was
shown that confederate went down
in a diving-suit and introduced into
the "separators" and "accumulators"
the gold which was supposed to be
drawn from the ocean! It Is doubtful
whether the annals Of great swindles
record any more plausible and in
genious than this. 1t was based upon
a scientific truth-that there Is gold in
sea-water; the pseudo-discoverer Of the
process was q man Of good repute, a
clergyman, In fact; the preliminary
tests were conducted by honorable
gentlemen, under conditions which
seemed to leave no opening for fraud.
Because Of all this the press treated
the project with respect. For the same
reasons, persons who could i'll afford to
lose money were willing to buy the
cOnpany'S stock These DerSonS are
entitled to the most cordial sympathy,
and yet they, and investors generally,
have learned a lesson which is worth,
perhaps, every dollar it cost. That is,
to be wary Of any investment which
depends upon "secret process" More
often than not the secret" conceals
nothing but rascals thefts.

Confirmation is given at the Min
istry of Marine at Paris that Admiral
Fournier, now at Tunis, has been or
de1ed to return Immediately to TOu
lon to prepare four cruisers for imme-
diate active service. These prepara
tions are thought to be the result of
the Fashoda dispute with Great Brit
ain. Papers say that three British
ironclads are engaged in gun prac-
tice off Bizarta, a French naval sta
ton, in the Mediterranean.
At a military conference held in

sented a note stating when the next

Gomez's staff have resigned, owing to
his unreasonableness. He is always
bad-tempered and but few of his staff
can remain with him. The city coun.
Gil has decided to charge the Ameri-
can commanders $12.50 each for six

Reports from Japanese sources are

Sir Claude Macdonald, British Minis
ter at Peking, has informed the Chi

posed, ard that he must be restored
to his position, while Kang Yu Wei
