NEW WORKS.
GOOD ROADS,

The state engineer Of New York, In
his annual report to the legislature, de-a
votes considerable space to good roads.
He has charge of the design and con-
struction Of improved highways under
the Higbe- Armstrong law of 1896, ap-s
preparations for which work have been
made as follows: 1898. $4,000: 1899, $50,-
600; 1900, $3.50 900; 1901, $4,000.
The work was commenced in 1898,
and in 1899 three roads five and one half
miles in length were completed in three
counties; in 1900, nine roads twenty-six
miles in length were completed In five
counties; in 1901 twelve roads twenty
seven miles in length were completed
in eight counties, making twenty i've.
roads in twelve counties, aggregating
sixty miles, and thirty-two roads aggre-
eating no miles in sixteen counties are
now under contract, the money for
which has been appropriated.
1t is claimed that the improved roads
which have been completed have given
unqualified satisfaction to the people
who have used them and who have
helped to pay for them, and in nearly
every case the immediate result hiss
been the presentation Of petitions for
Improvement of other roads in the same
counties. Petitions have been received
since the enactment of the law from
forty counties for 298 roads, having an
estimated length of 1882 miles, surveys
have been made of 1875 of these roads IN
thirty-two counties, aggregating ga
miles in measured length.
In addition to the roads completed or
now under contract, surveys, plans and
estimates have been made and present
ed to boards OF supervisors, accepted by
them, and the counties one-half OF the
estimated cost, amounting to $916, 051,
has been appropriated by the supervis-
org for eighty-seven roads in twenty
one counties, aggregating IA miles.
Surveys, plans and estimates have been
made or are in progress for seventy
nine roads located in twenty five coun-
ties, aggregating 314 miles in measured
length. which will be submitted to the
boards Of supervisors at their coming
sessions.

THE NEW CUBA.

Cuba is almost ready to blossom out
az en- independent republic Some of the
preliminary steps yet to be taken are
important, tho they only involve move
ments already provided for. 1t is stated
from Washington that the formal trans
fer of the present military administra-
ton of affairs in the island to the gov
eminent NAMED in accordance with the
new constitution will take place not
earlier than May 1st at Havana. AT that
time the 5000 government troops in the
island will he withdrawn, or the greater
. part of them, and the new president
elect, Palma, will attempt the execution
of laws 1t may be deemed prudent to
continue a part of our forces there as
$ preca utionary measure to maintain
order, with the concurrence of Cuban
authorities.
1t is the general belief that our duty
toward Cuba will not end with the turn
president. The new chief executive
himself, in an interview published in
the T-R. columns last evening, set
forth this view. President Palma is
conscious that Cuba's independence will
be weakness unless cordial relations are
maintained with the United States. and
reciprocal trade concessions are granted
by our nation. His plea for the latter
are urgent, and win have some weight
when congress comes to act.
President Palma has lived long
enough in the United States to absorb
Aamerican ideas. He is thoroughly dem
5tratic in his view of Cuban needs. He
believes economy must be practiced
Ahere, that ostentation in government
must be avoided and that with indus
Rry in the island and close and favora-
BILE trade relations with our nation Cuba
Twill prosper. 1t is fortunate for the new
republic that It is to have level-head-
ed and wise leader in President Palma,
who earned his right to the first place
by his long and heroic effort to free the
island from Spanish domination. May
the little republic live to prove its use
fulness among the nations.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In noticing that the record shows that
Iowa gives her teachers smaller pay,
and that the state maintains the lowest
percentage of illiteracy, the Spirit Lake
Beacon declares There are no better
teachers anywhere. but we pinch them
to the lowest notch, because we cam
The Perry Chief Reporter is opposed
to further legislation in the interest of
the saloon, and 1t observes that The
liquor dealers are not receiving much
encouragement from n large part of the
press of this state. 1t seems to be the
concensus of opinion that the mulct law
should be left as 1t is. This should not
be the state nor the time to take any
more backward steps on the liquor ques-
ton. II the saloon man is unsatisfied,
let him go to some more liberal and
congenial place. His absence will not
be of any real consequence or loss to the
state"
Let harmony and wholesome laws re-
suit" suggests the Davenport Republi-
can. in referring to the meeting of the
Iowa legislature next week.
Oskaloosa Herald: In excavating for a
new building on High avenue west,
workmen had to use wedges and sledge
hammers to break the frozen ground
Friday morning. But Oskaloosa is too
busy to let frost stop it now.

Waterloo and Fort Dodge are having

that 1.-THE combined fiction of the two
places reaches a handsome total.'
The Rockford Register suggests "If
this state is to be redistricted congress

should be all locked up while it is being

The. Des Moines Capital can not be-
lieve that the Eighth district republi-
cans would seriously contemplate the
retirement Of Col. Hepburn at the peri

move, in the Capitals opinion, would
be grave mistake" Continuing, it
says: "All public men have their faults
and the colonel has his, but his ability
should outweigh all minor objections.
This has been the view that his district
has taken for great many years and
doubtless will continue to be the view for
some time to come"

last year in raising sugar beets was not
such as to encourage the development
of that industry. They had been led to

MOONS PHASES.
A PLAN THAT ooMMENDs ITSELF
The Baltimore SIN says:

Inc Baltimore Sun says:
"Rear-Admiral Melville's plan for the
establishment at Annapolis.in connection
with the Naval Academy, of an expert
mental station for the instruction Of engi-
neers on the lines OF that at Charlotten-
burg, Germany, must commend itself to
the intelligence OF the average Congress.
man, as well as to the naval expert and
scientist The Naval Academy. admira-
bic as it is in many respects. is, accord
ing to Rear-Admiral Melville. behind
many institutions in this country in its
engineering curriculum. Several, such
as the Institute OF Technology. Cornell
University and Stevens Institute. are
turning out better engineers than the
Naval Academy, because these institu
tons have a more modern engineering
plant and are better equipped in the way
Of shops.
"rhis is a condition OF affairs that
should not be allowed to continue. The
course at the Academy should be COM
plete in everything which pertains to the
naval profession and should be second to
none in anything. With our overflow
ing Treasury we can afford the appro-
priation OF $500. 900 required to carry out
Admiral Melville's idea. which is, in fact,
so essential to the proper rehabilitation
OF the Academy, upon which the Govern
ment is now spending So, ooo. oco. To
make these magnificent Improvements
and to omit the important feature to
which he calls attention would be an
oversight OF the most serious character.
For such station as he suggests the Ad-
miral recognizes that Annapolis is the
logical site, since everything relating to
naval education should. as far as pos
sible be concentrated at that point. II
the nations OF the world must continue to
cut each others throats, it is important,
from the standpoint of representation,
that we should be in position to do as
much skilliul murder as the next one, and
should, therefore, make our Naval Acad-
envy as complete as it can be made in its
capacity Tor instruction in the art of de-
struction. The experiment station sug-
gestcd by Admiral Melville would, how.
ever, have peaceful as well as a wa,
like value and would become center OF
scientific investigation useful for COM
mercial rs well as military purposes.
We could spend SAGE. 600 much less wise
ly than on such an object as this, and it is
to be hoped that Maryland's representa-.
tives in Congress win give their active
in,eresi and cooperation to The effort to
secure this appropriation.
