Our Hero Memorials.

Secretary Dickinson'S plea for na- tional memorials at San Juan and oth- CT battlefields of Cuba because of the individual and united valor shown by our commanders and our troons at those landmarks of signal victories is well enough in it's way, for tablets at sacred spots where men have laid down their lives in a humane cause serve to remind the thoughtless of deeds worthy of emulation.
 But one cannot but reflect that in a larger sense we have reared up a memorial that all the world may read as it runs, in the reconstructed Cuba whose sufferings enlisted our forces in the most unselfish war the world has ever witnessed.
 Inscriptions of metal may be nec- essary to mark the spots of special valor for the guidance of future gen. erations. but the visible and glorious monument is already reared to our heroes in the happiness and prosper ity of the islanders whom we liberat- cd from oppression by the very hero- ism now detailed by off1cialdom for congress to recognize.-Omaha Bee.

For the first time since the Christ mas night storm there was telephonic communication between Westerly and New York Wednesday morning. Over 75 per cent. of the service of the Vest erly Automatic1 Telephone company is now in good working order, and it is expected that the complete service will be available by the end of the week. The repair work is being done out from the center to where the service has connection with the Southern New England Telephone company, and thus connection is lacking to give service to Providence, Boston and the east. As much of the wire is underground, the Westerly Automatic Telephone compa- ny sustained slight damage in com- parison with the like territory covered by other companies or branches.
 Up to Wednesday evening the Paw catuck Valley trolley road had reached a point opposite the Misquamicut Golf club grounds; it was expected that cars would be run through to Watch Hill by Friday morning.
 The Block Island pier at Watch Hill was not damaged by the storm, but port bns of the seawall of the Griscom propt~, near the pier, were washed away and much of the land flooded. This seawall was built last spring and it was believed ras substantial enough to withstand any water attack, no matter how severe the storm.
