THE way to have good roads is to
build them. You can't make them by
adopting long winded resolutions
Warren Mail.
Here is a pointer to Butler county
people who have for years been clamor-
ing for good roads. If all the energy ex-
pended In Butler county in public meet
ings and in the drafting of resolutions
and bills to be presented to the legisla-
ture within the past three years could
b. collected and applied to road con-
struction 1t would build macadamized
thoroughfare of the latest improved
pattern several miles in length.

1T appears that the building Of
bridges by the State is not in all cases
. tisfactory to the counties benefited.
The State officials last week awarded a
Z ,ntract for building bridge ut Au-
burn, Schuylkill county. for $4,000.
The county commissioners protest
against such an expenditure, on the
ground that the bridge will accommodate
o ily a few persons, whose property can
be bought for sl2, 900; and they propose
that the State buy the land at this price
a turn 1t into State forest. instead
OF spending $19, 900 for bridge.

CURRENT EVENTS.

The greatest enterprise OF inter
national importance, that has been pro-
iected for many year-the building OF
. ship-canal across the Isthmus of Pan
anna lis being held mp at present by the
Colombian Congress. They have fac
tions or parties there, as everywhere,
playing for position, but there is little
doubt that the gist of the matter Is that
they want more money, both from the
United States and the French company
that yet holds the concession. The
completion Of that canal would probably
increase our trade with the western
states of South America, and with the
eastern states of Asia, but as it wonld
be inimical to the interests Of the great.
trans continental railroad companies OF
this country, opposition of all kinds
from all sources can be expected.
The American Nation seems to take
. great interest in the boat races. though
perhaps that interest is forced upon
them by the spacious accounts in the
dailies. These two boats are mere rae
ing machines, of no utility whatever;
whereas the old America" which won
the cup. was q stout, two-masted, sea-
going schooner, capable of carrying con-
siderable Of a carg1, safely and swiftly
to any port on the planet.
The appearance Of an American feet
in Turkish harbor will probably Je
IN object lesson to the Sultan's govern
ment, rs to an offense against the Stars
and Stripes. In dealing with Turkey
this Nation has only to consult its own
interests, while the European powers
have to watch each other. England. for
instance is 30 determined that Russia
shall not obtain port on the Mediter-
ranean that she has been protecting
Turkey for years. and the Massacres Of
Cbristisn rs in Macedonia proceed with
ont punishment.
President Roosevelt over-ruled Minis
ter Conger's recommendation for the
surrender Of the Shanghai editors. and
they are yet under the protection of the
British and Japanese Consuls
These Shanghai editors are reformers;
that IL they are men who perceive the
superiority Of Western civilization. and
who understand that If the Chinese are
to prosper, if they are to retain their
place among the nations of the world,
they must get out of the ruts in which
they have been moving fo- centuries,
and bring their institutions up to date
The Empress Dowager, who is still run
Mug things at Pekin, has no use for
men Of that kind, wanted to get hold of
them. and made demands for their sur
render, which were were referred to the
Foreign Ministers at Pekin. Mr. Con-
ger joined the Fre.ch and Russian Min
isters In the opinion that they ought to
" given up. If the Empress and her party
% not change their views, the partition

future.

ATTACK OF APPENDICITIS.
An Operation to Be Performed Upon
Archbishop Kahn.

Baltimore, Sept. 2s.-Late Sunday af-
ternoon a consultation of three eminent
physicians of this city was held at ST.
Agnes sanitarium and it was decided
that Archbishop Kahn of ST. Louis has
an attack of appendicitis DIR. Charles
G. Hill, who has attended the arch
bishop since his arrival here last May
stated last night that an operation
would probably be performed on his
grace at an early date. The archbishop
had made arrangements to go to his
home in ST. Louis next week, but owing
to the serious turn in his condition. ne
has upon the advice of Cardinal Glib
bons and other ecclesiastical dignitar1es
changed his plans. Doctors John D.
Blake, professor of surgery of the Bal
timore Medical college, and r. w Jonn-
son were the physicians who attended
the consultation with DR.. Hill.
Among those who have visited Arch
bishop Kahn recently were Archbishop
Kane of Dubuque, Archbishop Glennon,
coadjutor of the archdiocese of StLouls.
Bishop Hardy, the newly appointed head
of the Catholic hierarchy in the Philip
pines and Bishop Foley of Detroit.
