mw TO SET eooo ROAOS. >...., The Enemies pf Mud Should ?nite in a Campaign for a Principle. One great reason for the "prevalence of bad roads through? out the United States is lack agreement and united action jug the advocates of improvement* irybody prefers good roads to bad. ^Everybody knows that the roads can te improved only by the expenditure of mey and labor. But here the agree mt ends. There is a great variety >f ideas and schemes for securing the ired objoct. There is no end of ussion, but very little is accom led. Some people would rather ive! through mud than to have the improved by any other plan than own "pet scheme.'* Thus road reformers themselves sometimes actu? ally hinder the cause to which they are devoted. If the roads of the country are to be sade good within the life time of the present generation, it is high time, the aid voca tes of good roads should unite in support of a few general proposi? tions and go to work in favor of a general plas . If a .national good-roads movement ev6r gets started nothing sas stop it. It will sweep everything ; before it. But the difficulty is to get it started. One great advantage possessed by the national aid plan, which is now be* geming so popular, is that it is general Testend of sectional or local. It is as broad as th* whole country. It can bring into harmonious united action -?se friends of good roads in every State, and it is the only-plan yet pro? posed that can do this. Thefriencis of national aid will make a mistake If they undertake to work -oat details in advance. They will dis? agree among themselves and give ob? jections every advantage. They should go to work for the general principle and leave details to be worked out 3ater. This was the plan of action adopted by Gladstone. When his " op poaents asked for details of any great seform which he advocated, Gladstone would answer: "There will be time enough to work out the details when we get the power. " The advocates of national aid will do " well to emulate the exampiie of this great English statesman. They should organize everywhere and fight for the principle, leaving details to be worked out in ?se time. Mi OUTBREAK IN C0B1 Sural Susird Mobilized and Gov? ernment has the Situation Well in Hand. Havana, July 30.-In spite of the as? sertion which has been made that the j Jelling of three m'en and the cap? ture of a fourth man, their leader, j who had attempted to cause an upris? ing in the vicinity of Bayamo, Pro? vince of Santiago, effectually ended the only semblance of an uprising in Coba. The rumors of uprisings in Sasrern Cuba were fully confirmed to? day in the Government's reports re? ceived from the? Governor and other officials air Santigo. These are to the affect that since the night of Sunday last sixty armed and mounted men bare appeared outside villages in the danto ?iver district, proclaiming a evolution and demanding the pay? ment of the former members of the Tevolutionsiry army. No acts of vio? lence have been reported, but the in? habitants of tiie Canto region are ex? cited. The leader of the revolutionary; jsarty is named Pupo. He is a brother of one of the bandits killed by the Jforal Guaird on Tuesday. ?On Tnesday Gen. Rodriguez, com? mander-in-chief of the Bural Guard, ordered the mobilization of all the "Bural Guards in Eastern Cuba, and the Governor of Santiago Province bas been instructed to enlist as many' vol? unteers s may be deemed necessary to cooperate with the mounted troops, p Secretary of the Interior Yero says "there is no doubt that the authorities 4K?11 be abie to cope successfully with "?fcbe Station. Up to 10 atelock tonight the reported uprising in the province of Santiago bas not been confirmed either by Gov? ernment or other reports. Senor Yero, secretary of the interior, and other "Government officials, now are inclined to believe that the Santiago anthon were misled by persistent :rumors. Gen. Lora telgraphed at 10.30 o'clock tonight from Bayamo that it "bad been definitely determined that .the reports of an uprising originated with the bandits who were shot" on Monday, and who liad circulated stories 'before that date tha*; their band numbered seventy. The Govern? ment is satisfied that the incident is siosecL r Protection of Courts Invoked Columbus, Ga., July 30?-Through their trustee, the Mercantile Trust and Deposit company of Baltimore, the bondholders of ths Columbus Irater Works company today filed in the Federal court a petition asking that the city of Columbus be restrain? ed from selling 8250,000 of water works bonds recently authorized by an elec? tion and also from building a system of its own to be conducted in compe? tition whh the present system. Judge Ifowman refused to grant the injunc? tion asked, but will hear arguments in the petiti on in September. Point Well Taken. The members of the State Agricul? tural and Mechanical society should demand some explanation from the officer who sent the premium list away oat to Ohio to be printed, It ns a small matter financially, but if the leading industrial organization of the state does not patronize home industries, tarbat are we to expect?-Columbia JSecord. Danville, OL? July 30.-The police "today arrested Winifred Baker, who it ~is said tad the mob in its attack on th?^ail^ last Saturday night. Baker was found working in a small coal mine west of Danville. Three more -arrests were made today in addition to that of the alleged leader, making 17 in all. More warrants are still out and the officers expect to have 25 members -of the mob in jail by next Monday.
