Radical democrats everywhere are anxious that Mir Bryan shall come out fiat-footed for government ownership and declare that he will stand or fall by that policy. says Washington writer. They argue that such a course would be the best. of politics and their argument has a lot of sound logic back of 1t. The situation. as 1t appeals to the radicals. is about as follows: Tn 1896 and again fin 1900. Mir Bryan was condemned for certain radical preachments. Since then, republican president has taken up most of those radical preachments. adopted them as his own gospel. and forced them upon his party as good republican gospel. The result: tre- mendous popularity for Mir Roosevelt and public conviction that those poll cies have better, certainly as good, chance of becoming law with Mir Roosevelt at the helm as with Mir Bryan. Tn other words, Roosevelt has stolen Bryan's thunder. The thing for Mir Bryan to do. therefore, is to get some new thunder. and the most promising atmospheric disturb ance Is in government ownership of railroads. Mir Roosevelt has not gone that far. and there is no chance that he will go that far within the next two years. And the radicals believe the people will remember that the things with which Bryan scared them in 1896 and 1900 are now generally accepted as sound policy and will not take fright when the "conservatives" shout Wolf at government owner ship.

In the first half of the year 1906 Scotland produced an amount of tonnage from her ship yards unpre- cedented in the history of shipbuild- ing. In these six months. according to Glasgow dispatch, the ship yards put into the water no less than POT vessels of all sizes, with an aggregate tonnage of 360,4S9. The nearest ap- proach to that record was made in Scotland in 1902, when in six months 259,S04 tons were produced. The large output from the Clyde yards was, augmented by the launches of the Lusitania, Cunard steamer of 32,500 tons. and the Agamemnon, a battleship of 16,500 tons, in the clos ing weeks of the half year.

Road building is getting to be a matter that occupies considerable of the attention of the law makers, and citizens in many cities. People are beginning to realize that good roads are necessity, and this in turn has brought out great competition among builders and others who do this work. At the present time for eign asphalt companies are display ing much activity in Australia in their efforts to obtain street paving contracts, particularly in the city of Melbourne, where three companies are engaged in keen rivalry in ad- vertising their products. A Swiss asphalt company paved the side walks of leading thoroughfare at s1.S2 per yard. the company laying its own concrete. Later, another company, with an asphalt produced in Trinidad, laid a section in another busy thoroughfare at $1.54 per yard, the city authorities doing the con- crete part of the work. A German asphalt company then came forward with an offer of paving a street at $1.46 per yard, the city to prepare the path. These three firms have agreed to maintain the asphalt for twelve months. and the authorities and general public are greatly inter- ested in noting the wear of the rival sections. ,t

TRocHA BLocKHoUsE NOW A CUBAN HOME.

 Ring up the curtain on the scene in 1906 and note the changes. One can now go by train from Havana to Ciego de Avila, as sleepy Spanish town. in the very center of the Trocha, as one can well imagine, as peaceful and lazy as if it had never beheld the outrages that were committed at it's gate. It's plaza dozes in the monday sun; it's palms wave languorously while its few inhabitants lounge about their doorways unaffected by the hum of American industry that can almost reach them from the north and from the south. or listen to the tales of some black veteran of the war. A cross line of railroad runs here-if.in. deed, it may properly be said to do anything but creep-its single loco motive pufilng its wheezy way once each day.
 He who is in any haste to reach any given point along the Trocha, who de. sires to travel faster than the slowest freight that ever was conceived, will do well to take passage in the patient mule stage that is waiting. and from it view the fertile red land. The jour. ncy southward Is marked as with mile- stones by the grim blockhouses still standing at kilometer intervals. but from the portholes and the turrets, where Mauser rifles once bristied, the tropical foliage often now forms a chevaux-de-frise. and waves a gentle welcome in the trade wind that here sweeps across the island.
