OUR STREETS.

One hundred thousand dollars on
the streets, twenty thousand dollars
on bridges and culverts, and twenty
seven thousand dollars on sanitation is
the sum total of public money spent
in these respective departments Of city
government during the past four years.
While we may have good results, it
will strike the average citizen that
the expenditure Of such a vast amount
of money for the benefits we have OBJ
tanned was the most wanton extrava-
gance. In the departments alluded to
much money has to be spent every
year, and there are few in which it
could be spent TO better advantage.
Yet il will be generally believed
that we have not secured 100000
worth Of benefit. New streets cost
comparatively little, as the city has to
pay for only the intersections. The
average spent on repairs to old streets
is therefore about $4,000 a year.
And our streets are never in good
condition. One has only TO drive over
them to fully realize. how disgracefully
bad the are, Even the brick street has
its defects. and despite the regard for
public thoroughfares which has result
ed in the expenditure o. 100000 in
four years, the streets are torn up by
various corporations, and no official
steps taken to compel the latter to
place them IN good condition. Many
of the streets are now dishgured by
successive blocks of ridges left by the
gas company IN filling its trenches. Ii
could be made to place them in proper
condition, but is not.
There is nothing to use for a criter-
ion in estimating what should be re-
quired to keep the streets in repair,
it is true, but a contractor a few
years ago offered to keep them all in
good repair, and give q bond to do
the same. for $4,000 year, or only
$50, 900 for five years, the contract

peated claim that he dictated to or
Influenced President Mckinley. They
we're staunch friends, and had a mu-
tual confidence in each ether that
probably was the only foundation for
the Misrepresentation. President
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna are both
good Republicans, and they are not
the kind of men to become enemies.
They know that to become such would
disrupt their party, and prob
ably result in the cleo
ton Of Democratic president
next time. The Republicans as well
as any one know tho value Of keeping
the party intact, and can be counted
on to keep it so. On this have they
often relied in past years for the many
victories over the democrats. And
on this they must rely for future
victories, which are inevitable as
long as the party is led by sue h
staunch and able men as have directed
its destinies in past years.

IL seem that Venezuela is under the
impression that the Monroe Doctrine,
enforced by the United States, will
enable her TO do a great many things
with IMMUNITY. Venezuela owes a
heavy indemnity TO German citizens,
and it is feared that Germany contem-
plates forcing the payment of the in-
demnity. The Monroe doctrine, it Is
believed in official circles, would not
be applied in such case, and if Ven
ezuela received a good Grabbing il
might do her good. She seems to
know about as much about the Mon
roe doctrine as some of tn European
powers. When the United States a
few days ago prohibited the use of the
isthmus railroad to the Colombian
government for Transporting its sol
diers, some Of the European papers at
tributed it to the Monroe doctrine. 4"
This had nothing to do with it, The
United States was merely fulfilling
its treaty agreement to keep the
isthmian open, and II the Colombian
government had been allowed 20 use
the railroad,to carry its soldiers, the
rebels would have been justified in
tearing up the railrod to prevent it,
and in this way travel and traffic
would be interfered with, and the
United States subjected to the accuse
tion of having failed to comply with
its contract.
