Not only has government by elective legislatures sufllccd thus won derfully to build u our own people but It has drawn to us from abroad more than 18,000,000 poison who live become citizens by adoption because of their preference for American Insti tutions, included In the roheslve rc RiiltM of our elective) avptotn Is the Americanization of a lirgo body of Spanish-Amrlrnns catrlcd under our flag in coiiPequcnio of the war with Mexico, who nt the time were not In any essential pnttlculars different from the peoples coming to us by reason of the war with Spain. Heme to raise at thli Jate day the plea of the In capacity of congress as an argument against territoiial expansion otherwise desirable Is to confess at once Ignor ance of history unil lack of vital faith In tin- principles of our government. After all, Mugwump defamation of moricnn Institutions, however pest IfiMous In times of general calm, re etles little heed when the pulse of the nation is stirred. Slowly but irre sistibly this nation is proceeding for ward along the lines of Its glorious destiny and the protests of the faint hearted are but as feminine bloom sweeps against ti rising ocean tide. And now nn anonymous correspon dent of Harper's Weekly for whom that Journal of civilization vouches as serts that If It hadn't been for peremp tory orders from Sampson Schley would have run nway from Cervcra. The exigencies of the attempt to make a hero of Sampson evidently impose a severe strain upon the imagination.

It stands to reason that If we couldn't longer tolerate Spain as a neighbor in Cuba we could not consistently permit her to remain In Porto Rico. Peace. The magnanimity and self-control of the American character are supiemely evidenced In the cordial readiness of government nnd people to end a thor oughly victorious war In terms of clem ency and moderation. There exists among the victors no strut of pompous piidu and no lust for meie conquest. The vanquished receive our kindliest consideration lOtfilrtg In way of In demnity Is exacted which could In hon or be spared, and from the humblest American to the highest the return of peace Is welcomed with profoundest thanksgiving. The hlstoiy which has been made in the past four months is replete with cheer to btlieveis in the American de mocracy. For purity of motive and brilliance of achievement It stands without a paialltl. liiutal as war iece.ss.aiily Is at best, this has been a war in which biutallty has been le duced to an unpiecedentedly small minimum, while never before hab a war been studded with finer deeds of heroism or grander exemplifications In tho grim and scotching tests of bat Slo. He that ruleth his own spirit is greater, the Bible sas, than him who Japtureth a city. The American peo ple have not only mastered the enemy; they have kept sovereignty over them selves. This having been a war for con science and principle, its victories will be eternal. By them tho standards of civilization have been lifted up; and their lesson Is that government of, by and for the people not only shall not perish fiom the earth but shall spread until It encircles the earth. Theie Is this to be said for the plan of holding at flist only a small part of the Philippines: American Influence, when placed In competition with Kit ropean influence, never diminishes but always expands Mugwumps In Ketrent. A short time ago Harper's "Weekly was declaiming defiantly against any increase In the tetritory of the United States; now it begins to supplicate the public not to go further in the direction of national expansion than tho annex ation of Hawaii and Porto Rico until the capability of congress to govern new territory Is made manifest. It dis trusts and despises congress; congress men are, In Its opinion, "too much de voted to the mat &?, and pecuniary interests of their Jtyrlcts and of In fluential prlvato ty.lzqns to care for law and Justice generally. If," It adds, "there Is money for any one In pro posed legislation for a distant colony, we may expect tho enactment of a law; If the proposed legislation mciely contemplates the welfare of tho colon ists, the establishment of a Just and equitable rule over the subjects of the republic, we may expect to wait for many years beforo congress will be come sufficiently interested to consider the measure seriously and to establish tho law." Now it Is a peculiar fact that under the government of congress the United States has grown from one of the smallest to the most powerful of na tions. Hefe.. under laws passed by these despised vongresBmen, Individual liberty 1 ampler.and Individual oppor tunity and IncirfllVfe are more marked than In any olhir nation under the eun. This maryebjthi development has advanced steadily over an niea, at the The General Commanding. Now that the re-establishment of peace peimlts liberation of views con cerning the chief actors in our brief drama of wr.r ll is not inappropriate to say a few words regarding the ma jor general commanding, Nelson A. Miles. General Miles entered upon the cam paign handicapped In the first place by a curious and altogether undeserved lack of public confidence, and secondly by filctlon not of his seeking with men In the war department whom he knew to be Incompetent, but whom, fortified as they weie behind political pulls, and upheld by an ofllclous and rlone tuo capable chief, he lacked power to icmove Yet at the beginning he im picssed hl soldlufahlp so stjongly upon the administration that upon his advice the contemplated immediate assault upon Havana was abandoned and a gicat sacrifice to fever averted. This economy in life nnd suffering Is per hnps his most conspicuous credit. The management of the executive work of the war department was not In his hands, et It deserves to be noted that both at Tampa and at Slboney, when ntiangements became hopelessly contused, Geneial Mllefa was sent to straighten them out, and In each In stance he did it without loss of time. The complete success which has at tended his invasion of Poito Rico by which term wo lefer not to the atti tude of the Inhabitants but to the thoioughness which has chatacterlzed the work of the mechanism of the inva sion In dliectlonswhlch caused somuch tiouble at Santiago emphasizes Miles' executive skill, for the campaign to the smallest detail has been his in con ception nnd execution. It turned out that he did not have to fight much, but the plans were so laid that had resist ance been offered it would have made small diffeience. Finally in dlspioof of the once cur rent hallucination that the major gen eial commanding was something of a snob may be cited the quiet manliness of his tieatment of Shafter at Santiago and the extiemely cordial recognition of the good woik of suboidlnates which chat octet Izes his official messages to the war depaitment since the war's be ginning. That hostilities did not last long enough to supply him with a chance to show his genius In battle Is In one sense his mlsfoituno though In a laiger sense It Is both his and his countrj's good foitune; but ho has had opportunity enough to show very con clusively that in him the country has a geneial In every way equal to lils position and a fit successor to Grant, Sherman, Sheridan nnd Schofleld. Tho country owes Its most cordial thanks to Nelson A. Miles. beginning. They can scarcely bo rem Idled or Indeed Improved by occasion ally spreading broken stones or gravel Into the rutH and gutters formed by disintegrating ptoceFsc3 of rain and frost. Tho beds of such roads have been worn down to tho subsoil, which, having no uslstlng consistency, is pul vcilred In summer and becomes thick black paste in winter. Our roads cost us rulllluns every year In the wear and tear or hnrucflish und vehicles alone, not to speak of the unutterable delays and disappointments which they entail. Money has been lavishly expended, on their construction and pre Hcrvatlon, hut it has not been wisely expended. It was possible for tho Romans to build those everlasting roads, such as the Roman roads of Britain, or tho Apian way, by enfor ced labor. It Is possible for Russia to build them still, because a highly cen tralized government can glvo unifor mity of expenditure and construc tion on these permanent ways. In this country it Is different, because each local nuthorlly allots what money it likes to the care nnd construction of the roads under Its conttol, and ex pends It In any way that Is plenslng to It. Hence there Is no uniformity. One taction of a load mav be In n fine state of preservation, while across the township border It may run Its course like a larva stream. We confess we do not know nny way out of the diffi culty, unless state conventions nro summoned for the purpose, nnd that Is not at all Jlkely In our time at least. It must be admitted that It Is far more difficult to keep roads In proper repair here than In almost nny other country. Our winters arc long and the disin tegrating powet of frost Is enormous. Toll roads are relics of batbarlsm. The roads of tho country should nnd must belong to tho people If they nre bad, the people themselves nre the flist and the last to suffer tho consequences of their own negligence. We must do away with this rollc of feudalism. It is strange how they have survived the match of time, the last survival of manoilal and baronial autocracy. Bo cause our fathers and grandfathers, as Mr. Peiry points our, tolerated these miserable pretences of a common high way, It is a very good reason In Itself why we should not. They do not Jus tify nor apologize for their existence by being any better than other roads. They simply act ns a barricade to lo cal progress in road building. Otip Foreign Trade In Iron and Steel T GOLDSMnirS kl BAZAAR Garcia and Gomez will probably stop fighting as soon as we request them to; and the fact that we have furnished both with weapons and ammunition gives us ample authority to prefer such a request. The Navy and Anthracite. A six-hours' fire in the coal bunkers of the Minneapolis, which nearly caused this noble cruiser's destruction, comes within a day or two after the navy department had announced Its unwillingness to change from the use of bituminous to that of anthiaclte coal. The department's stated objec tions to anthiaclte were: (1) The low rate of combustion of an thracite coal with natural draught, thus Involving great weight and spaca for boilers to give tho name power. (Z) Prattltal impossibility to procure nnthraclte toal except on our Atlantic toast, so that bituminous coal would have be used elsewhere. O) Greater length of tlmo requlied to change the condition of the tires fiom slow to rapid production of steam with anthracite than with bituminous coal a great strategic disadvantage. Weighty as these objections seem to be It Is doubtful If they would warrant the use of soft coal save perhaps In time of actual war, and then only with in zones of danger. The fact that bituminous coal can be burned with ease in anthracite grates would, If our ships weie fitted to use anthracite, en able It to be consumed upon .special occasions; while the use of anthracite meantime would remove entirely the risks arising from the proneness of bituminous to hpontnneous combustion. This matter should not jet be con sidered settled. UK hcnomenal growth of our man. ufacturlpg Industries, notn in hup Piling our own markets and thoso of other parts of tho world, in il lustrated bv some figures Just compiled by tho tiensiity bureau of sta tistics rcgurdlng the Imports and export ot mamifuctuics of Iron und Mccl.

On tho other band tho imports of tho manufacturer- of lion nnd steel In 1S38 wero In valuo but one-sixth thoso of 1880, olio-fourth thoso of 1SS8 and onc-lmlf thoso of ISOfl o To quote tho rfllelnl figures the ex ports from the United States of nil nr tides classified ns "M inufneturcs of Iron nnd Steel' amounted In 1S80 to $ll,7lfi.MI, In ISM to $r.5l2,2PS, In 16 to $J1, 100,8.7, in 18''7, $37,10157.', and In 18")S to $70,oG7,i27.

Thus, while the exports of manufactures of Iron und steel nro in ISIS fivo times those of 18S0, tho Imports of tho same class of articles wero In 1K98 less than one-flfth thoso of l&eO. In 1SS0 our imports of manufactures of Iron nnd sled wero fivo times as much ns our expotts, while in 1898 our exports of Iron nnd steel wero moio than fivo times ns much ns our im ports, American manufaeturcis have, slnco ISsO, taken pofsslon of five-sixths of that portion of the home market which was held by fotclgn manufactures of iron and steel nnd have nt the same time In creased their sales In foreign mulkets 400 per cent. While the Imports ot lion and steel were fnlllns from 71 millions to 12 millions tho exports of the same class of articles Increased from II millions to 70 millions. While the list of articles of Iron and steel Is nn elaborato one and a decrease In Imports Ins occurred in nearly nil nrtlclcs, it is practicable to point out a few of tho more Important. Under tho classification ot "Ingots, Blooms, Slabs, Billets and Bars of Steel" the Importa tions of 1SS8 were tll,1S9,b9S pounds und In 1893 onl TO 821 U7 pounds. Wire rods, which in 18S8 were 7C 9 ,$) pounds weie In 1893 3s,G01.r pounds. Chains, which In lVsS were 2,0C5,7S7 pounds were 111 1893 17,316 pounds.

On the other hand tho Increase In exports of the leading ar ticles ot this character has been equally striking.

The fact that General Garcia has promptly responded to a request pre ferred by General Miles, although he has withdrawn from official contact with General Shatter, tends to confirm our belief that when the full truth of tne break between Shafter and Garcia 1 (comes known It will show that the blame was not wholly on one side.

Perry on tho disadvant age to bicyclists nnd drivers of bad country roads In general, und of toll and turnpike roads In particular. The United States Is behind all other coun tries in the building nnd permanent repair of roads. Our roads nre worse than those of any other nation on the face of the globe pretending to be civi lized and with a stable form of gov ernment. What Is true of the nation as a whole, is true of the unit of gov ernment in the states under which the control of lilghwajs has passed, whether township, county or city. Wo have been 60 progresjlve In every other direction, that In the building and construction of country roads we rank no higher than, and sometimes fall below, tho standard ot Russia, or even of Chlra, where the worst roads In the world aro supposecj to exist. During the winter months our joads are almost Impassable, vvlillo In sum mer they aro barely tolerable. Vet to keep even these brlilul paths within tho clicumsctlbed limits of n surveyed and passable track Is a costly operation. Where the foundation of n road has not been scientifically and endurlngly laid, every dollar expended upon Its macadamtzatlon Is a sheer waste nt money. It Is as Impossible permanent ly to construct a joad without a foun dation as It Is to raise a commodious dwelling without one. The long stretches of dust which matk our roads In summer, and the streams of glu tinous mud und expanded quagmires might all luivo been obviated In the We are curious to know what steps the government of Canada Intends to take ngnlnst that very fresh Span lard, Lieutenant Carranza, who evaded Its older to get out by sending a sub stitute in disguise, nnd himself le malned to continue violating Canadian neutrality. The matter is of slight actual Impoitnnce, but one would think the disrespect shown by Carranza to the government of the dominion would, In view of Carranza's official status, lequlro further nttentlon.
