They paved them and mado them "a thing of biauty and a joy forever" compared with our mud holes called sticets in Shenandoah. Wo could havo just as good sticets as Mt. Carniol. Why not?

At a meeting of the Borough Council last night an attempt was mado to reduco tho salary of tho Chief Burgess from $000 to $200 per year, The Borough Solicitor stated that, ns the salary of the official had been fixed for tho term, it could not be leduccd, whereupon the mo tion was withdrawn. 11 appears tho under standing was that tho Chief Burgess would open an office to try borough cases and turn the lines collected into the borough treasury. Tho idea was that tho lines and license fees collected hy leason of the Burgess devoting his entire time to the ollico would cover Ills Increased salary, but this has not been tho case, licnco the attempt to reduce the salary to the old flguio.

"At the Capitol yesterdny tremendous effort wns made to lmve ooiigreKs sup port the outlined policy of the presi dent. A general belief WHS expressed whpn the house adjourned that u ma jority of the house committee on for eign iiffiilrs wns rrndy tn support Sir. JIcKInley's plan, nnd the Impie.sslon prevailed that a resolution In line with the rrcornmenilathiiis of the president would he reported from the committee. There Is a great deal of uncertainty icsardiiiK tho senate committee. . A de bate which occurred In the executive session of the senate Into yesterday af ternoon would Indicate that, no matter what was the character of the resolu tion to come from the committee, the resolution would cause n serious and perhaps ptoloniteil discussion. It em phasized the fact that there are two elements In the senate, one for Inde pendence with intervention and the other for Intervention alone, and these two factions will light vigorously for their Ideas. The relations of tho United States with Spain was the uppermost topic in tho executive session, and constituted the subject of many conferences among senators. Tho nctivlty was due to tho announcement that the president's messaRo would recommend the adop tion of a policy looking to Intervention in Cuba on the nart of the executive branch of the government rather than the recognition of Independence, and to an effort to make smooth tho way for the reception of such a report. The executive session was devoted to a general discussion of the policy to be pursued towards Spain, and developed the fact that much opposition would be made to the acceptance of a policy In line with the president's desires. While the senate was In executive session a formidable element In the senate was considering what should be done In cas'o the resolutions should be reported for recognition ot Independ ence. This faction was composed of what Is known as tho conservative ele ment on the Itcpuhllcan side of the senate. Their conference was held In Senator Aldrich's committee room, and among those present were Senators Hanna, I'latt of Connecticut, Spooner, Halo, Fairbanks nnd Aldrich. Senator Allison was also there for a brief time. Opposod to ('ilium ItoooKiiltlon. A general purpose was expressed to oppose the adoption ot any report that should recommend a recognition of Cu ban Independence and which did not Indeed conllne Itself to the support of the pjeslden's recommendation for In tervention only. This position was taken because of tho generally ex pressed conviction among the senators present that in case of war with Spain and the triumph of the arms of the United States this country should be left free to dispose of Cuba as she might see proper. Many of them ex presed dissatisfaction with the present Cuban administration nnd the opinion was given Hint the recognition of In dependence at this time would hind tho United States tu the support of the present Cuban administration and to guaranteeing Its bonds, giving to the Cuban Junta a position ot Influence and power to which it Is not In their opinion entitled. Hence n decision was reached to labor with the committee on foreign relations not to report a resolution with a double purpose, and the Inten tion wns expiessed on the part of some to nppi so Its adoption If reported. The ptevulllng opinion nmong sena tors is that Hie committee will recede from Its position for both Independence and intervention and report a resolu tion iu accordance with the president's recommendation for Intervention alone, but this Is not certain. Of tliree mem bers of the committee seen, nil classed as pro-Cubans, one, Senator Frye, an nounced himself satisfied with inter vention: another, Senator Foralter, an nounced that lio would not favor the change, and a third, Senntor Davis, re fused to commit himself. Senator Lodge had previously said that lie would support the president's position. Headache Quickly Cured, Dr. Davis' Anti-Headache never falls, 23c. Our Two Now AVnr"VoiHMl.
