Secretary Wilson has taken charge of the Departrrent of Agriculture in a manner to demonstrate that he is the right man for the piace. Since his induction into of- fice he has made a systematic survey of the field, has apparently located the corners for particular cultivation and now he an-| nounces that one of his chief efforts will be to secure something tangible and prac- tical from the good roads inquiry that has been under way in the department for some time past. There is no more important mat- ter from the standpoint of the American farmer than the improvement of the high- ways of the country. Many farmers real- ize this fact, while many more have yet to be educated up to the knowledge that the ordinary, muddy, rough road, such as they are accustomed to regard as inevitable is a positive loss to them, a hindrance to the quick marketing of their crops and a constant drain on their stock. In some parts of the country the roads are so bad that travel is almost impracticable, save in the t weather. A rainstorm causes complete isolation to those who must travel by carriage cr wagon. On the suc- ceeding days teaming is out of question. On ot! er roads so little attention is paid to repairs that the tracks are normally bad and cannot be brought to decent condition | without a prohibitory expense. Much has been done of recent years by the wheelmen of the country to arouse an interest in the subject of good roads, and indeed the pres- ent movement is traceable directly to the efforts of the League of American Wheet- men, which organization tuted the first effort at general education on the sub- ject. It has been found, however, that the agricultural interests have so much at stake that the matter is far too important to be permitted to remain unofficial and the work that is now to be carried on by the Department of Agriculture, with every prospect of success has at last put the where it belongs. There is a good deal vet to be learned in the way of de- tails of construction and repair. Very much of the work is as yet experimental. ‘There seem to have been uncovered, how- ever, enough basic principles to enable the farmers to go ahead in towns and coun- tles to put their roads on a proper foun- dation. eel rail that is used in some portions of the far west with great success is coming into favor, reducing as it does the hauling strain from forty pounds per ton to eight pounds. Cheap materials duce the initial cost and better methods of ! construction lower the expense of main- tenar.ce, so that this system, it is thought, will soon come into general use in other localities. 4 macadam is favored by the scientific road builders for its so- lidity and its smoothness when well laid. Th. department, {t appears, pro- poses to learn all possible about the whole subject and then to give the farmers prac- tical demonstrations of the folly of the old system and the advantages of improve- ments. In no surer way could the Secretary of Agriculture work to the betterment of the great army of American agriculturists. —+¢e —___ May 30. Memorial Day continues to cail out the great affection and gratitude with which the memory of the men who died for the Union is cherished by the people. The ceremonies of the day, simple in their na- ture and of short duration, are yet per- formed with every touch of genuine feelirg, and are never viewed by patriotic men but with a profound sense of their significance. It is not a day for long faces nor deep bands of black, nor need it be. The recall- ing of stirring events in which men in arms strove for mastery on the field of battle is rot associated with either gloom or de- spair. The parade is spirited, the poems and addresses contain the note of triumph, and the music is patriotic rather than fu- nereal. At the capital here, and in all the great centers, the observance of the day is on a scale commensurate with the surroundings. ‘The large populations and the thousands of soldiers’ graves to be decorated are factors for the full development of the spirit of the eceasion. The processions are imposing, nd the long rows of flower-strewn graves are sadly beautiful and suggestive. But probably the more beautiful and suggestive sight is that presented in some village cemetery, where a small flag waves at the head of a single grave, and where some single individual, an old man or a child, comes with a handful of flowers to lay upon it. For, by the thoroughness of the organi- zation of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the pains it has taken with this par- ticular feature of its work, no soldier's grave, however solitary or remote, is ne- glected. Wherever lies buried a man who died for the flag, his grave, if known, is re- membered on this day. And there is profit as well as sacred beauty in this service. What is better cal- culated te make men iove the country than this sincere and unaffected exhibition of reverence for the memory of those who have died for it? Men, it is true, do not stipulate for such things when they enlist for war, or when they go into battle, but | the country which cherishes in times of peace grateful recollections of its dead heroes and provides for those they have left behind, never lacks for defenders when the hour of danger arrives. So that, throughout all the land on Memorial Day, there Is a service which no man may con- sider unmoved, and which testifies no less to gratitude for what has beer offered up upon the country’s altar, than to as noble sacrifices still to come if the country shall at any time need them and demand them. —_ += —__ Mr. Havemeyer has not gone so far as to decisre that the result of his trial ought to be a lesson to the Senate to curb its curiosity. ——_ +e —___ Mr. Aldrich’s Second Statement. Mr. Aldrich has made two statements re- specting the Senate subcommittee’s sugar schedule, but it cannot be said that either one helps his side of the contention. In his speech on Tuesday, the Rhode Isiand Senator declared that the sugar re- Miners would fare better under the House than under the Senate schedule. But in the ame breath he pictured the growth of the business of the German refiners, and inti- ated that unless the American refiners ‘were properly protected, thelr interests would—as had been the case with the in- terests of the refiners in other countries— succumb to the powerful German competi- tion. There seemed to be room for explana- tien here. Why, with full appreciation of this peril to the American refiners, did Mr. Aldrich and his coadjutors reject the House schedule for one of their own, less favor- able to the refining interests? Nobody was usking for the destruction of the American refining interests. It was conceded that they, along with other American interests, were entitled to fair treatment. had remembered them, and the country had ret complained of the House schedule. Strange to say, however, the Sugar Trust was complaining, and this should not nave escaped the attention of so astute a man‘as Mr. Aldrich. The public had been puzzling over this matter for three days when, yesterday, Mr. Aldrich teok the floor in the Senate again with another statement respecting the Senate schedule. Replying to some in- quiries made by Mr. Tillman, the Rhode Island Senator, speaking for all the mem- bers of the Senate subcommittee, declared, with emphasis, “that no person connected directly or indirectly with the American Sugar Refining Company or any other re- fining company, or any other person at any time or in any manner suggested or dictated any schedule or any rates upon sugar to the Republican members of the Finance Ccmmittee at any time or In any place.” This, instead of clearing up the matter, js to the confusion. How did it come about, then, that the sugar schedule in the House bill was taken up and changed? Who discovered its defects and demanded a remedy? According to this explanation, the Sugar Trust, during the time the Dingley bill was jin the Senate subcommittee’s bands, was indifferent to its own interests. It was not satisfied with the House sched- ule, and it had a perfect right to appear be- fore the subcommittee and ask for a change. It was understood that other in- terests not satisfied with the rates of the House bill were asking to be heard, and were securing audiences. That was per- feetly proper. But the Sugar Trust, ac- cording to Mr. Aldrich, let the matter go by default. Well, blessed are those who expect noth- irg. Here was the Sugar Trust, dissatisfied with the House schedule, and the Senate subcommittee engaged in preparing a sub- stitute cutting down even the House's beg- garly allowance, and yet no word of sug- gestion or protest from the unfortunate vie- tim. But the Good Fairy steps in and pro- tects the Trust. The stars in their course were fighting for the Trust. The Senate subcommittee was foiled. The schedule which was to deal fairly by the people, and reduce the protection granted by the House to the Trust, was queered somehow in con- struction, and as it came out of the com- mittee room proved to bé a bigger boon than any previous boon ever granted to the Trust. In the language of the poet, slightly altered to meet a Board of Trade topic, the Sugar Trust awoke and found itself in town by a large majority. Sugar stocks went up with a whirl, and there was a great deal of money made by various shrewd parties who had their own opinion of the merits of the Aldrich contention that his sugar schedule was less favorable to the Trust than the House schedule. Mr. Aldrich’s third expianation is awaited with some interest. It's coming, and the third time's the char: ——————_+ +2 —____ Rapid Transit on Aqueduct Bridge. The completion of the new union pas senger station in Georgetown brings to the front once more the question of how best to secure rapid transit between the Dis- trict side of the river and the Virginia shore. This is an important matter, inas- much as it irvolves certain considerations affecting the repair or reconstruction of the Aqueduct bridge and the item ot com- pensation of the District or the govern- ment by the traction companies that may use that structure. The union station was desigred as part of the general traffic plan for the western end of Georgetown, which included the construction of one or more Street railways to connect the two shores and to brirg into easy reach the beautiful home sites in Virginia and the piaces of-| public interest on that side of the river. Whenever the matter has come to the front, however, it has Leen pointed out that it would be unsafe for any heavy traffic to be permitted on the bridge before it had been subst«ntially repaired. the weak piers almost rebuilt and an additional width ad- ded tv the roadway for the accommodation of the car lines, The bridge in its present condition svffices for all ordirary traffic, and it is piain equity that whatever ex- penses are incurred to permit the use of the bridge by cars should be borne by the companies securing this valuable privilege. The question comes, therefore, to the point of determining just what form and propor- tions this compensation should take. It has been proposed that the railroad com- panies pay all the cost of repair and again that the District and the government pay the cost ard secure reimbursement from a tax upon the companies, based perhaps upon the volume of their business. Such car lines are needed by the steadily de- veloping population and would lead to a much more rapid growth. They would ald, too, in eradicating the evil nests that have grown like fungi around the south end of the bridge. In return for such a service the community would probably be willing to permit the practically free use of the bridge provided the traction companies put it in condition for such a purpose. ——__+ +e —-—___ A Pro-Spanish Statement From Cabs. ‘The latest letter from Mr. Pepper, The Star’s special correspondent in Cuba, gives an unprejudiced statement of the views of @ pro-Spanish sugar planter. Naturally, his sentiment is adverse to the insurgent cause, ard Mr. Pepper, in giving free play to the friend of Spain, presents the best argument of that side. It is to be noted that no at- tempt 1s made in this letter to analyze the propositions of the planter, or to indicate the flaws in his reasoning. They stand for themselves, and may furnish a text for further interesting commentaries from this same exceilent source of information. The letter indicates clearly that Mr. Calhoun ts striving to get full information from all sides upon the Cuban situation. The Marquis Ito declares that Japan does not want the Hawaiian Islands. The marquis should not fail to have this fact brought to the attention of some of his countrymen who have taken up a resi- dence there. —___~eo—__ Srain declares that she is not a nation of merchants.

The Senate began the consideration of the tariff bill, progress being made on the schedules. Senator Tillman made a sensa- tional speech in which he repeated news- paper assertions that the Senate finance committee had been involved in a scandal in connection with the preparation of the sugar schedule; he offered a resoiution providing for an investigation of these charges by a committee; Senator Aldrich denied the charges and courted the fullest investigation. It was announced that President McKinley had decided to send a special ambassador to London, in the per- son of Whitelaw Reid, to yepresent the United States at the queen's jubilee. Gov.
