The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-08-04

Mr.. J. Polk RACINE, the leading
literary light of Cecil county, has
been led by the incidents of the war
to indulge in some interesting remin-
iscences Of the civil strife, in which he
was an active participant. He CON
tributes to the Cecil Wing an article
in which the storming of the defenses
Of Santiago is compared with the
charge at Petersburg. The line of
defense around Petersburg, he says.
was about Is miles long and our bri-
gade being on the right and the point
of assault being over near the left, it
caused our brigade a march of 10 miles
through that Virginia sand which
burned the feet like hot embers, and
the heat from that awful ball of fire,
which was almost in its zenith of glory
by this time, was doing nearly as
much harm to the already sweltering
soldiers as the enemy's grape and
canister would do a few hours hence.
"A large chamber was made in the
bowels of the earth under Fort He'll,
and therein was placed many tons of
giant powder with a train or fuse of
powder leading thereto. Three lines
of battle were formed in the ravine
below our solid front Grant was seen
to move up and down these lines with
a stump of cigar in his mouth, and
his old straw hat in one hand, and
see Great God. he is pointing to the
lurid hell beyond.
Not one of us knew that the terri
bic mine was there. But what is the
great chieftain lighting that news
paper for? Surely he could have
lighted his cigar stump with the light
ed match which he has just thrown
away. He stoops and ignites some
thing at his feet in the ravine, a noise
is heard, but the kissing devil disap-
pears under the ground.
Grant runs up the hill to where
we are en- masse. He gazes for a
moment, but only for a moment, and,
Great God! the heavens and the
earth have at last come together,
and over at Fort Hell, in the enemy's
lines, human heads, arms, legs and
bodies are hundreds of feet heaven
ward and are now beginning to de-
scend to Mother Earth again. But
we see nothing more of this, for the
awful word has been given, Charge
bayonets, double quick, march"' and
l declare now, "a years after, that
Grant, the silent man, was leading
the van when passing over the HILL

newspapers. The article was widely
published. The Baltimore Sun gave
it editorial notice and aid The arti-
Gle was copied over the country as the
better roads movement was then as
now receiving great attention.
Last winter in the Maryland Legis-
lative many bills were introduced for
the improvement of our county roads.
Nearly every county in the state was
agitating this important question. |
cannot understand why Garrett
county was silent. This large, we'll
improvedand rich agricultural region,
known as northern Garrett county
has hardly continuous mile of first
class road. Vast quantities of timber
and lumber have been taken out of
this section lately and greater quanti-
ties are likely to go out in the early
future. This heavy traffic is said to
account for the shameful condition of
the roads.
The Old Pike or National Road
which cost the government at least
$4,000 per mile to build, appears to
be abandoned to its fate and to the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
in places barely passible; four horses
are required to draw one ton of hay
to Frostburg; west of Grantsville the
condition, if possible, is even worse,
I cannot understand why such a
rich, prosperous, thrifty and enter
prising community should be so in
different to subject so important
throughout the civilized world. The
condition of the public roads and
thoroughtares are in evidence as to
the intelligence and enterprise of the
community Here this matter has
been too long neglected A road i'm

only one or two American sailors.
With no serious injury to a single
American warship, SPANS navy has
been ruined and Spanish seapower
wiped out. Such swift execution, so
terrible in its destructive results to
one power and so utterly without cas-
ualty to the other, is unexampled in
the worlds naval annals.
The rapidity with which an army
has been called into existence is also
astonishing. In less than 80 days
there have been recruited, mustered
equipped and placed in the field an
army of nearly 100000 men, every
man having undergone strict exam
ination. European military experts
have been amazed at the work accom-
plished, and after witnessing the two
naval and one land engagement they
frankly admit that Europe contains
no such fighting material, in intelli-
gence and effectiveness, as constitutes
the American army and navy.
The naval part of the fighting may
be considered as ended since Spain
no longer has any navy to fight with,
beyond the few old ships which she
cannot spare from home. Nor is it
likely that any more such land fight
ing as that at Santiago will occur.
After a brief but Intellectual resist
ance, Porto Rico will surrender to the
formidable expedition now headed
by Gen. Miles. That will clean up
SPANS power in the West Indies, ex-
cept the last stronghold at Havana,
which will doubtless capitulate with
out a battle.
Dewey and Merritt will capture and
hold the Philippines, and Spain will
then be driven from the seas.
The American progress has been
swift and unchecked.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-08-04

IT is intended by the Navy Depart
ment to recommend to Congress, and
request authority for the cOnstruc-
ton of six additional vessels for our
navy-three of them to be battleships
and the others armOred cruisers of
great size, swiftness and offensive and
defensive power. The reasons as
signed in the Bureau rumOrs of this
extensive addition to our fleet are
that Russia's program of naval eX-
pansion calls for an expenditure OF
1913, 900, 600, to extend over seven
years; that France is adding to her
fleet at an expense of $144 ,300,0 900; that
Germany has a program looking to
the expenditure Of $240, 100000, and
that Japan's naval plans require the
expenditure of $192, 100000. We are
getting quite Europeanly imperialis-
tic in our views of our naval require
ments; indeed, the completion of the
three mooted battleships would put
us in the second rank among the nav
al powers of the world we should then
have fifteen vessels of Glass A.
that is to say battleships ten years
old or less, with a speed of 16 knots or
more, carrying primary batteries Of
12-inch or larger calibre guns and a
heavy quick-fre armament on a dis
placement of 5000 tons or more. Of
vessels Of this class Great Britain has
thirty-four in commission or under
construction, while France has thir-
