HIGHWAYS IN EUROPE.
France Probably Has the Best Laws
for Building and Repairing
Public Roads.

Two hundred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world, be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking of them Macauley
says that a route connecting two
great towns which have large and
fourlshing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost of
the rural population scattered be-
tween them is manifestly unjust. 1t
was not until many toll bars had
been violently pulled down, until the
troops had in many instances been
forced to act against the people, and
until much blood had been shed that
a good system was introduced.
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road system in
England. The French have probably
the most efficient laws and regula-
lions in the world for the building
and repairing of highways. The min
lister of public works has the general
superintendence of all roads and
ways by land and by water. There
are four classes of road recognized
by law, namely: O national, (2) de-
partm entail, (3) military, (0 cross
roads. National roads are built and
kept up by the national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge
upon the departments through which
they pass, and part of the military
roads are kept up by the government
and part by the departments
through which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in
thinly populated regions these COM
munes receive assistance from the
government, especially when these
roads become of Importance.
The national roads are paved like
street, having an average width of
52a feet. The departmental roads
are 80 feet wide, and the military and
cross roads are of variable width.
Piles of broken stone are placed at
convenient distances and a man is
constantly employed in repairing each
section.-American Asphalt Journal.

THE SUGAR TARIFF QUESTION.
Noteworthy Feature of the Situation
Is Explosion of the Anti
Tariff Theory.

The status of the controversy over
the question whether the tariff on Gu
ban sugar should be reduced by this
government may be briefly described as
follows, says the Albany Journal:
Opposed to the tariff-reduction prop
osltion are the men who are interested
in the American beet-sugar industry.
Their contention is that their business
would be detrimentally, even ruinous-
ly, affected by the importation of Gu
ban raw sugar, which, with part of the
duty taken off, could be set down in
this country at price below that at
which it is profitable to produce beet
sugar.
In favor of the proposed tariff re-
duction are:
First, the Cuban sugar planters who
declare that they cannot profitably dis
pose of their product unless the United
States government admits it to the
markets of this country under more
favorable terms, and that consequently
they will suffer loss directly and Cuba
as whole will suffer indirectly, since
the. islands prosperity depends to a
considerable extent upon the develop
ment of its sugar industry. The plant
ers are naturally backed by the Cuban
people at large.
Second, a large part of the people OF
the United States, who hold that it is
this country's duty to assist Cuba in
its efforts TO develop it's resources and
to become prosperous as well as indie
pendent.
Third, the American sugar-cane re-
fning interests, whose represen TIA tives
argue, whatever the unspoken reasons
for their attitude may be, that a con-
siderable tariff on Cuban sugar is I'M
necessary for the proper protection of
any American interests, and declare
that a reduction of the present tariff
would be advantageous to the con-
sumner in that it would effect a per-
manent reduction in the price of re-
fined sugar.
The essential question to be consid-
cred is whether it is an indisputable
fact that reasonable reduction of the
duty on Cuban sugar must necessarily
have the effect of gripping the Amer
van oeel sugar iiuuslfy anu ultlmdle-
ly destroying it.
A noteworthy feature of the situa-
ton is the utter inability of the man
whose pet argument is that the tariff
should be taken from all articles made
by trusts, in order to bring the trusts
to terms and under subsection, to ap-
ply in this case. The stand taken by
the American Sugar Refining company
and kindred interests, by the side of
those who lead in the effort to secure
this tariff reduction, leaves that indi-
vidual to wonder vaguely how he ever
came to believe his argument to be
good and even incontrovertible.

Twenty times we were jostled by

Our Lord the Sun was on the verge

they, too, were taking their share of
the melee. But the massive stone
work of the walls hid all the actual
engagement from our view, and which
party was getting the upper hand we
could not even guess. But the sounds
told how tight fight was being ham,
mered out of those narrow boun-
daries, and my veins tingled to be
once more back at the old trade and
to be doing my share.
But there was no chivalry about
the fellows who held me by my
bonds. They thrust me into small
temple near by, which once had been
fame in much favor with travellers
who wished to show gratitude for the
safe journey to the capital, but which
now was robbed and ruined and they
swung to the stone entrance gate and
barred it, leaving me to commune
with myself. Presently, they told
me, I should be put to death by tor
ments. Well, this seemed to be the
new custom of Atlantic, and [ should
have to endure it as best L could. The

Government Help Is Needed.

The improvement of our country
roads is so nearly a private matter
that we need not look for govern
ment help. All the taxes raised in
cities for road improvement are ex-
pended within the city limits, so that
the wealth of the cities would be ex-
empt, except through the possible
channel of state or county aid Thus,
the expense of making hard roads
would fall upon the farm lands and
personal property outside of the
cities. AS the laws now stand there
is nothing to hinder the making of
good or hard roads wherever the ma
terial is within reasonable distance,
or where we feel like mourning the
necessary outlay of time and money.
