We publish. elsewhere in this issue.
an editorial from the Washington Posi-
which rightly interprets the broad and
generous spirit of Maine Republican,
ism. 1t is to the credit of our State
that its people have never failed TO
appreciate a man with honest convic
tions and the courage of them
whether they have coincided with his
views OF not. Mr.. Reed has lost nona
Of mis- hold upon the people of his dis
trict ana his state, who feel just
pride in his distinguished public career,
because he has adhered firmly to his
honest convictions upon the question Of
Hawaiian annexation. For many
years the Journal has earnestly adyo-
Gated the securing of these islands. It
is move which it has long regarded
as Of very great Importance to this
future welfare of the immense inter
ests of our Pacific coast. At the same
time we have recognized the fact that
there were strong men, whose devotion
to the national welfare was above
question, who have entertained OPP
posite views upon this question. They
certainly have a right to their opinions.
and, entertaining them honestly, are
entitled to the respect Of those Who
may as honestly differ from them.
The people Of Maine know the sterling
integrity Of Mr.. Reeds character, and
they viii never think less of him for
having under trying circumstances
the splendid courage of his conve-
tiOnS.

Reflections OF a Married Man.

The cutcst baby sayings come from the
brightest mothers.
It's the quiver in a girls voice that
transiixes the beau.
Woman is the one book that proves a
neVer-endng study.
The man who follows the races cannot
expect to beat them.
Woman's aim is notorously bad except
when the target is a man.
Undeserved praise is an offering that
even brave men rarely reject.
The --LATEST way to win girl is to pay
plenty of attention to her mother.
The world may praise the inventor but
it saves honor and riches for the promot-
er.
The most dangerous and effective board
of strategy is the mother of loVapie
girl.
The supreme test of love is to listen to
the poetry composed by an lS-year-old
damSel.
Few men really try to live up to the
reputation they want TO have in the eyes
of others.
A male fool is obnoxious for his self
confidence; a simpcrins female one for
the utter lack Of it.
The most Objectionable parts of the
honeymoon are those the wife insists on
repeatedly recalling.
When h woman spends the night lying
awake smelling smoke. its a pretty talr
inference that she has given up all
thought of marriage or else her husband
has left her.-New York Press.

did his duty promptly. fearlessly, and
well. His record was a creditable one,
and the American people Will honor
him for it.
! believe, Mr. Speaker, that the an
nexation Of the beautiful islands OF
the Pacific that he loved next to his
native land will soon be an accom-
plished fact. The trend of events is
irresistibly in that direction.
I shared in the general Humiliation
when our flag was pulled down under
the Cleveland administration, and ]
shall rejoice to see it raised there again
in permanency and in pride.
Such a move will establish an ocean
fortress for the protection of the great
and growing interests of our Pacific
coast and bring nothing but benefits
to the American people.

a week ago that tho transports had
been sighted near Manila on the 1fth,
but this was evidently a mistake. They
were not expected to arrive before the

PLANTATION of the delay it is now said
that the Charleston was directed to
stop at the Caroline Islands, and r.
duce the Spanish forts there 50 as to

there has been time since then tc
despatch a boat to Hong Kong with
news Of the arrival Of the first party
of rcinforccments. The news may
come now at any nour. If it should be
much longer delayed it will give rise
to apprehensions, for it is reasonable
to suppose that the news of the arrival
would he promptly dispatched to the
nearest cable station, which can be
reached in from two to three days.

The college bred men who are fight

of themselves. There are thousands in
the volunteer army ready and eager TO
join the advance guard in Cuba. They
belong OF the athletic division of the
schools, and while they may find little
use for their training in the higher
mathematics and none at all for their
classics. they show the good influences
of the gymnasium and the training
table. Their constitutions are strong.
their eyes are sharp, their muscles are
tough, and, withal. their minds are
trained SO that they can make the best
use OF whatever situation confronts
them. They are the equals of the

pertains to physical endurance and in

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
How They Could Be Provided Without
Increasing Expenses

There are II Is estimated, 100000 miles OF
highway roads In the Und; ed States, about
20 per cent of the roads of all the world.
Great Britain has 10000 miles of highways
and these are some of the best in the world.
Germany has 275.OOO miles of roads. ard
some of them are as poor a the roadways
OF a great country can be. France. which
has taken an enlightened view of the good
roads question for many years, and has
spent by governme initial or local authority
over 81. 900, ,00O, 900 on highways, has a road
mileage Of 100000. more than any other
country. Russia, with an enormous area.
has only 10000 miles OF roadways, while
Italy, smaller country, has 5000.
There are approximately, though the
number is steadily on the decline, 1000 COO
horses In the United States (there we're 15.-
100000 by the census OF $780, and there are
about 100000 mules. principally in the
south, the annual cost of fodder for these
animals being 81. 500. 900 900. On fine stone
roads one horse can haul as much as three
horses can haul over the average dirt road
OF this country. 1t is estimated that 1t
would be necessary to build 1000. 600 miles
of macadamized roads in the United States
In order to have as good system of high
ways as is found in several European
states. At $4,000 mile this would involve
an outlay of $4,000, 600 OOO-a pretty large
sum. Blu; IL oneLhalf of the draft animals
could be dispensed with by the building OF
such roads there would be anannual saw
ing Of $7000O0,00O in the food bill. Conse-
Quently If road bonds were issued bearing

amzed roads could be built without in
