The Times was opposed to the war with
Spain, was and is opposed to imperialism
and We think it was an evil day for the
United States when the Philippines fell into
our hands. But now that we have under
taken the job. Low that the responsibility
is upon us, the United States government
must show its Anglo-Saxon blood and the
people are determined that the rebellion
shall be crushed.

The echoes of Independence day have not
died away and a general wall goes up all
over the country at the carnival OF death
and destruction that has come this year in
the wake of this holiday.
Will Americans remember this until next
July, or will they take measures, where
measures have not already been taken, to
limit the dangers and restrict the POSSIBLE
tiles of loss and discomfort and death?

AS many miles OF new road were
completed in the United States dur
ing he three months ending Septem-
Der 80 as were built in the first six
months Of the year, making in round
numbers a total of 200 miles of track
laid from January | to September 30
A survey of the field shows that work
has progressed steadily since July l.,
but that not as much has been aC-
cOmpliShed in the way of completed
road as had been anticipated. This
does not indicate that there has been
any perCeptible abandonment of the
work undertaken during the fore part
of the year, but it means that the
prosperity of the country is so general
that the demand for labor and ma
terial is so great that railway builders
have found it impossible TO secure
sufficient men and supplies TO carry on
the work with the speed desired, The
200 miles Of track laid thus far Dur
ing 1899 exceed the total mileage for
any year since 1892. with the except
ion Of 1898 when 1850 miles were com.
pleted.
