CUBA.

Cuba's effort in government seems to be rather unsuccessful, and Uncle Samuel has had to send a couple of his most skillful nurses to that island to see if the wounds self-given to the cause of Cuban independence cannot be healed. Cuba gave Spain no end of trouble, and now, when set on It's feet and given chance to take care of itself and run it's own affairs, acts like a spoiled child and much as if it wasn't yet able to go it alone. The bowling malcontents and revolutionists use high sounding phrases and much high flown rhetoric in denouncing their own gov- ernment, but present no definite or in- telligible statement of actual griev- ances, if they have any. Revolutions still seem to be considered necessary by Cubans to the well being of the island, the same as is the case with Guate- mala, Costa Rica, Venezuela and other countries in those attitudes. Cubans seem disposed to sulk unless there's a row of some kind on involving blood shed, rioting and pillage.
 Lieutenant-Col James B. Hickey, in the military secretary's office, who was adjutant-general under General Wood and was in Cuba the greater part of the time during the formation of the government, when asked his opinion as to the significance of the present revo- lutionary troubles said: At the time when the American forces were with drawn from Cuba the island was in good order. It was, of course, impos- sible to foresee what the future politi- cal conditions would be, but there seemed every prospect of good govern ment. Certainly the present develop ments could not be anticipated four years ago. I am hardly at liberty to comment on what is taking place now, Political excitement over the elections seems to be the cause.
 Other officers who served for a long time in Cuba are not apparently sur prised that political excitement has dis turbed the stability of the island. These officers take the view that the Cubans are temperamentally akin to their South American neighbors, and that it is a most difficult task for them to eliminate intense feeling from political contests.
 An important officer of our War de- pertinent says: "The Cubans themselves seemed to have full realization of the benefits to be derived under stable form of government, encouraging the inflow of American and foreign capital in great quantities If these conditions are to be changed, and if riot and rev. olution are to force American interven- tion for the protection of American lives and property, there can be no one to blame but the Cubans themselves"

TOWN ELECTIONS.

On the first Monday of next month the usual number of annual town meet ings in this state will occur After that the number will be less.
 The general law provides that the an- nual local elections, except in the towns of Ansonia, Bridgeport, Derby Hartford and New Haven, shall be held on the first Monday of October. But the constitutional amendment which was adopted last October authorizes towns to hold their elections either an- nually or biennlally as the electors may determine.
 No doubt a considerable number of towns will vote to adopt the biennial system of holding local elections. As is remarked by the Hartford Times: The drift of sentiment and of practice in Connecticut has for some time been toward the establishment of two years as the term of public office. The vari- ous state officers (except the attorney general, many local officers, the mem bers of the legislature and the repre- sentatiyes in congress arc now chosen for two years. Heretofore the constitu- tion has required the annual election of selectmen and that provision conn pelled the holding of town meetings every year. Under the elastic home rule amendment the towns are now at liberty to conform to the general trend of sentiment and to put their elections on a biennial basis.
 It is years and years ago since New Haven used to have those town meet ings of the old fashioned kind at which hundreds of voters appeared all alive and kicking, and excitement at times ran high, The public turned out in force and local leaders in politlca strategy and oratory were on hand and the moderator frequently had his hands full to keep order and exercise a sem. blance of parliamentary rules. Those were lively meetings, the like oc which we see no more.

4 DAZZLING YISTA.

All honor to the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company for it's tunnel under the Hudson river. The event has big significance. Years and years ago a company of capitalists tried to build tunnel under the river, but the ex4 pertinent was too costly and the enter prise failed, Other capitalists took up the work, but they, too, had to aban- don it. Finally the Pennsylvania has achieved the work triumphautly.
 Probably in another year Pennsyl- vania Railroad trains will be running under the bed of the Hudson river, and not long afterward there will be, it is expected, twelve tunnels in operation for all the railroads debouching on the Hudson, and for trolley cars, while the East river also will be spanned with tunnels.
 But the conquest of the Hudson will not end there. It is believed that a great interstate bridge, the largest, per- haps in the world, will stretch from shore to shore, a bridge beside which the East river bridges will be pigmy affairs, Manhattan will then be welded to New Jersey and residential places in that section of the State will be as convenient of access from Manhattan as Westchester or the Bronx or Long Island.
 The passage of that car through the Pennsylvania tube under the Hudson opens up, says the Newark Advertiser "a dazzling vista of possibilities for Northern New Jersey It adds: "We are on the eve of great changes and wonderful development. Manhattan Island is the lodestone for attracting population, and as this area is solidly built up this population must flow out again to fill up the unoccupied places within the metropolitan area.

Although the assertion recently made by an Italian sea captain that the pow CT of sails was increased by their be- ing perforated was ridiculed, it has just been proved that he is right. His theory was that the force of the wind cannot fairly take effect on an inflated sail because of the cushion of immov- able air that fills up the hollow, To prevent the creation and presence of that cushion he pierced his sails with many holes, through which the wind blew, the balance of the air pressure striking against the canvas and exer- cising its full effect. Several experi- ments have been made on these lines, and the results are declared to have been enlinently satisfactory.
