The evacuation of Havana by the
Spaniards took place without an in
cident to mar the proceedings, owing
to the firm stand taken by Gen.
Brooke, supported by the authorities
at Washington. The determination
Of the Cubans to parade and have IA
gala time was postponed to some
future time; thus all chances Of a
clash and humiliation OF the dons
was avoided. The insurgents should
now settle down to peaceful pur-
suits and demonstrate their capacity
for scli-gOvernment. Until such time
Uncle Sam will preserve order in all
parts Of the island, mt the same time
deal AS gently with the people as
safety will permit.

Yellowstone it was $57, 1872, or
nearly sll, 900 greater. From these
figures ii Ia impossible to conclude
that the burden of taxes will be any
less In Yellowstone than in Fergus.
The Billings Gazette reported that
Representative L.osekamp. who il in
charge Of the proposed segregation
measure, estimated the total assess-
ment Of this strip at about 800 900.
Deputy Assessor Plum has furnished
is with u list Of the taxable property
within the boundaries described and
the total Of personal and real prop
erty il $3.50 not including North
ern Pacific land, which, at an ASSESS
ment OF 81 per acre, amounts to
$751; 1888 and makes a grand total VI
$4l4,640, or about pne-twelfth OF the
assessment Of this county.
Should segregation carry, a pro-
portionate amount OF this county's
debt would have to be assumed by
Yellowstone.
So far as it il argued that residents
along the Musselshell desire to have
the division SO made as to have their
land all in one county, we believe,
with Mr.. Fergus, that the division is
now on natural boundaries and that
the change, wherever the line may be
run, would merely shift the annoy
ance from n taxpayer to another.
Segregation would result in a great
loss to Fergus county and a CORE
spending gain to YellO wstone. The
only mitigating effect would bethat
a great portion of the Northern Pa
cifc land, upon which Fergus county
has been unable to collect taxes,
would be unloaded onto Yellowstone.

The BoZeman ChrOnicleO f last week
contains the following in relation to
the road law, which is regarded with
disfavor in most of the counties:
The clamor for the adjustment Of
the road law should follow the pro-
pOsal to adopt a better one. To go
back to the old supervisor system Is
like going back tn horse cars. The
main argument against the present
road law, as lar as we have seen, is
that the county surveyors are inefii-
Client. This Is no fault of the law. II
people insist on electing surveyors
who are not qualified for the position
and fail to rise to the emergency, by
what force Of reasoning a the law
he blamed for theirlack of education?
As far IA we can learn the road law
exactly suits Gallatin county; il has
resulted I'm road improvement at an
expense not greater than that re-
quired under the old, haphazard way.
We understand several members
have bills ready to offer which will
supplant the present law or remove
it's objectionable features. While the
present law Is not entirely sstisfac-
tory, certainly nothing can begained
by going back To the old supervisor
system. Possibly the combined wis
dom Of the legislature will evolve
something that will give better roads
at much less expense. There willce
tainly be attempts in that direction.
