the predicted cold wave, which caused

for their morning meal the bears felt so
lUsty and strong that they knocked 1ac
off the price of May as soon as they got
a good chance at ii. The conclusion they
had evidently come to on observing the
heavy volume of wheat the foreigners had
taken this week was that the latter did
not know what they were about. as the

importing countries amounts to onlv

The Old Story Over Again.

During the civil war Copperheads
were always distinguishable by their
inability to conceal their qualification
at Union defeat or their depression
over Union victory.
Another sure revelation of the breed
was terrible distress over the strain the
Constitution YVES undergoing because of
the coercion of a State" by the
Union. Copperhead solicitude for the
Constitution and the Declaration of In.
dependence was always deep and ten
der.
The breed now makes itself known
not less unmistakably by its attitude
towards the Philippine insurrection
1t sorrows only when triumph attends
the valor of our soldiers. Its only hope
lies in the defeat of our arms, and for
that it prays.
The Copperhead of this time also is
troubled previously like his predecessor
OF the civil war by anxiety as to the
Constitution and the Declaration OF
Independence. Though we triumph in
the Philippines, he cries, alas, for the
Constitution and the Declaration!
1t is the old story over again; and its
ending will be the same.-Ne,c York

Colon cemetery Is a source OF large revenue
to the Church. Commercially, 1t is pre-
cisely equivalent to big block OF tenement

met by establishing in every large ceme-

rented one, they default In the payment Of

then throw the skeleton into the bone.pit.
The cemetery is now sentineled by
United States soldiers and with one
who was off duty as a guide M. Ken
nan inspected these CHASTITY adjuncts
of the place. The corpsedestroying
house was half-inclosed shed, fitted up
for its purpose. In a neighboriug shed
was a big pile OF lime, and on the
ground here and there were wooden
boxes, lined with zinc, into which,
the guide explained, the naked corpses
were placed for the removal of the
hesh. The companion horror is thus
described
The bone-pit proved to be rectangular

feet square and OF unknown depth, sur
rounded by a low wal OF rubble or brick
covered with cement 1t was filled nearly
to the level of the ground with dismem-
bered human skeletons OF both sexes and
all ages, lying in disorder and confusion

old metallic casket bottom side up and
with all the handles pulled out OF it, and
in another place some of our soldiers had
piled up twelve or fifteen skulls in such
manner as to suggest halt-buried skeletons
crawling up out Of the mass Of bones to
stare at us over one anothet's heads. How
deep this bone.pt was, and how many
thousands of human skeletons it contained,

been trying to dig to the bottom, 1 could
see to depth of twelve or fifteen feet. AS
far down as that the bones extended in a
solid mass, and the bottom OF the excava.
ton was perhaps fifteen or twenty feet
lower still.
In a hundred ways American inter-
vention and occupation in the islaud of
Cuba has been justified, and its be-
nevolent and civilzing aim indicated,
and in none more distinctively than by
the recent decree of Governor General
Brooke, upon the petition of aillarge
number of cities and towns, declaring
that all Gel eteries in Cuba shall hence
forth be regarded a. the property of
the municipalities, and that "if the
Roman Catholic clergy desire to main
tain their claim to ownership they must
do so in the courts Of Justice" So
shall these Cuban Gogothas become
christianized, and civilizations perfect
work be done.

Permanent Country Roads.

A writer on the subject of "Roads"
gives elsewhere in this paper mis- idea
of what constitutes "a permanent
country road" 50 far as we have seen
this is the first attempt at definition
of the terms designating this kind of a
highway, and the beginning of the &C.
luton of the country road problem in
Vermont. The State has raised by
taxation and distributed some $50, 900
to the towns and laid upon them the re-
quirement that it shall be expended in
building permanent roads but has not
defined the kind of road building
which it will accept as permanent"
1t has not distinguished between re-
pairs or maintenance and permanent
highway building. The common un-
Outstanding of permanent road" is
either a macadamized road or some
thing very like such road. Massa-
chusetts has 80 interpreted the term,
and the sum that State has expended,
the original cost per mile, and the ex-
pense of maintaining illustrate its ut
ter impracticability, on account of the
high cost, in county communities, or
such communities as are the towns Of
Vermont.
In what respect the kind of road the
writer of the article on "Roads" re.
CARDS as permanent differs from great
deal of road building that has beer
done in the State for half century
or more does not appear. This kline
of road, however, differs materially
from great deal of bodybuilding O.
another kind that certainly lacks every
quality of permanency. The author o
the article is thoroughly familiar will
the subject Of country roads, their main
tenance and their construction to Ell
dure and to meet he practical require
ments of country communities, in us
and cost. He has probably made wha
will be accepted as the definition of
permanent country road, which, how
ever, like some fire proof buildings
may be subject to some deductions o
the score of strict construction.
The writer's methods and precept
carried faithfully into practice in ever
town in the State, as they have been
some, would result in substantial Sc
fling in oil ito matarial features Of N
good road question, for the real que
ton is good roads, with the close
practicable approximation, in mann
of construction and in cost, toward pc
manency.
The JOURNAL heartily thanks t
writer for his valuable contribution
the discussion of this important gu
ject.

How varied and peculiar are the
means that must be emp Dyed for the
regeneration of Cuba, in all the ramif
cations Of regenerative effort, is strik'
ipply sho IN by recent article on Ha.
vana, by George KEENAN,, in the series
of papers on Cuba he is contributing to
the Outlook. The practice in Cuba
| in the matter of burial of the
dead is certainly peculiar, one of the
remaining relics of priestly medieval
ism. AS described by Mr.. KEENAN,, in
his visit to the Christopher Colon Gem
etery, the practice seems horrible be-
You'd comprehension, seems incredible
in any Christianized or semi civilized
people.
Mr.. KEENAN, describes this burial
place as presenting the customary as
pect of a city of the dead. There are
walks or alleys, shaded here and there
by trees, and thickly set with marble
columns, crosses and slabs of the usual
forms and designs. Many of the mon.
uments are of great beauty, and the
cemetery shows evidence of care and
attention, but, writes Mr.. KEENAN,,
"there is nothing distinctively Cuban
about it except the corpse 'destroyine
house and the bone-pit."
To make clear the part these Gdjuncts
of Cuban burying-grouu0 play in the
treatment and disposition of the dead,
Mr.. KEENAN, explains the relation Gu
ban cemeteries bear to the established
Church and the methods adopted for
their management aud control, All
the "consecrated" burial places on the
island were, until recently, the proper.
ty of the Roman Catholic church, and
were under the direct and exclusive
control of the clergy. Private individ-
uals might for sum of money lease
burial plots for term of year9, and
might renew such leases from time to
time, but they could not, as rule, buy
these lots or secure title that would
insure perpetual possession. If the
lease were not renewed and the price
paid the priests, who virtually owned
the ground, had a right to remove the
occupant of a grave and put another
corpse in its place, just as landlord
would eject tenant who had failed to
pay his rent and put in another.
SO far as Mr.. KEENAN, could learn,
burial could not be denied to person
who had been during his lifetime in
good standing in the Church, although
his relatives might be too poor to lease
a grave, but they could refuse to read
the burial service over him, and if, at
the end Of few days, they wanted to
put another corpse in the place he oc.
cupied but had not paid for, they coul
dig him up and make some o her dis
position of his remains. 1t is this
other disposition that constitutes the
"distinctively Cub IN feature" of the
Christopher Colon cemetery, aud ls
thus explained by Mr., KEENAN,:
AS the people OF Havana die at the rate
of from one hundred and fifty to two hun.
dred per week. as they mast all be buried
in this cemetery, AMI as the priests can turn

The Second Battle Of Santiago.

Captain Chadwick OF the New York
has examined Lieutenant Commander
Heilner, navigator of the Texas, as to
what Lieutenant Commander Hodgson,
navigator Of the Brooklyn, had told
Helner of the alleged colloquy between
Schley and Hodgson on the Brooklyn
at a critical time in the naval battle of
Santiago de Cuba. There seem to be
some points of difference between what
Hodgson now says passed between
Schley and hmstlf on that occasion,
and what Heilner says Hodgson had
said TO him on a certain occasion some
time after the battle. The Sampson
Schley controversy seems TO have shift.
ed, as to one of its aspects, to ques-
ton of recollection or veracity between
two Junior officers. Meantime nobody's
opinions or impressions are materially
affected by the discord.
1t does, however, seem a little odd
that the Secretary of the Navy should
have selected Captain Chadwick of the
New York, then and now the CON-
mander of Admiral SIMPSONS flagship,
to determine the facts in a matter
which has bearing upon the profess
sionsl interests of his friend and super
ior officer. The Sampson-Schley i'm
brogio embraces the men and officers
on the two ships, the New York and
the Brooklyn, as well as the Admrals
themselves. Scbley aud the Brooklyn
were in the thckest of the fight The
ship bore from the contest more marks
of the fierce encounter than any other
engaged. Scbley wos the officer inn
mediately in command. The men OF
the Brooklyn, who fought the Spaniards
from the beginning of the encounter
till the Colon, the last of Cervera's ILL
fated line, hauled down her colors, bit
terly resent the attempted transfer of
the chief honors of the battle from the
quarterback of the Brooklyn, which
was in the fight, to the New York
which came up after the fight was over.
This feeling between the crews of the
two ships was at the timc-and very
likely still is-one of extreme bitter
ness. A sentiment akin to the hostility
felt for the Spanisrd was nursed by the
men of the Brooklyn for its sister
cruiser as the flagship of the command
ing officer who in his otficisl report had
no word of recognition for the part
taken by the Brooklyn in the battle OF
Santiago, and who appropriated to him
self the chief honors of decisive vic
tory. And, as human nature is con-
st,tuted, who shsll blame them2 Take
that element of ugliness that is 30
closely kin to virtue out of human
nature and where had been that spirit
that won the victories of the late war?

There is hope for Kansas. The signs
are many and of the kind that do not
fail in dry times. Jerry Simson, the
sockless, and PETER the hirsute, states
men have been retired to private life
by the mandate of the people, and
Funston at the head of the Kansas
volunteers in the Philippines has COW
cred the State with martial renown.
The girls of Wichita have put the cap
sheaf on the stack of Sunfiower fame
and cinched the claim of the State to
renewed and distinguished considera-
ton by all its compeers. The Wichita
Girls Bachelor Club has just passed,
with fervid unaninity, a resolution to
marry no one else except the amphibious
heroes of the Twentieth Kansas, and
this resolution will not embarrass Fun
ston's miscellaneous scrappers. The
members of the Wichita Girls Bachelor
Club are not aged. The name of their as.
sociation is somewhat misleading. They
are reputed to be young and handsome
and most of them have wealthy parents.
They had long desired to show, in
practical way, their appreciation OF the
heroic deeds OF Kansas sons, and when
this resolution was introduced it went
through with whoop. The author Of
the resolution when interviewed sale
the members OF the club chad long de
sired something to stir up the girls,
when she thought of this. For he
own part she proposed to marry n
one else but member of the Twentiet
Kansas regiment. These boys, for tn
most part, are unmarried, handsom
: and daring fellows, and l think woul
make us good husbands. Think ever
C girl will stick to her agreement" Th
t completes the regeneration of Kansa
