10 The London Times speaking of
the display made by the United States,
at the great Industrial Exhibition, and run
ming general comparison between the
two countries, says with more good feel
ing and justice, than is usual in that paper:
at is beyond all denial that every practical sue

L. A writer in the New York Miro

L. A writer in the New York Mirror,
reviewing the case of the recent expedi-
ton against Cuba, and the course Of the
Administration in reference to that and sim
liar enterprises. says:
ain 1906, when Thomas Jefferson, the Presiden,
of the United States was informed that there were
a great number Of private individuals armng and
organizing themselves contrary to law to carry on
military expeditions against Spain, he said in his
sixth annual message to Congress 81 thought il
my duty by proclamation well as by special or
ders, to take measures for preventing and suppress
ing this enterprise. for Selling the vessel arms and
other provided for it. and for arrcsting and
bringing Justice its authors and abettors. 1t wa.
due to that good faith which ought be the rule Of
action in public well private transactions; il
was due to good order and regular government that
while the public force acting strictly the de-
fensive the criminal attcmp Of private individuals
to decide for their country the question of peace
war by commencing active and unauthorized hos
tilities, should be promptly and eflicaciously sup
pressed" In his fourth annual message he says ::
THAT individuals should undertake to wage private
war independently of the authority of their country
cannot be permitted in a well ordered society," Its
tendency to produce aggression the laws and
rights of other nations, and 10 cndanger the peace
of our own, is obvious that doubt not that you
will adopt measures for restraining it efectaaly in
future" The law OF 1918 was adopted for this
very purpose"

There is of course much speculation in
regard to the incoming crop, but it is yet
too early to fix the amount with any pre-
tension to accuracy. 1t is settled that the
crop will not be an extra large one, and
those usually best informed upon the sub
ject, estimate the yield at $500, 000a2,600,-
900 bales.

and opinions in regard to the tobacco crop

"The price of tobacco is, to the farmer, distress

we are unable to perceive. The demand for tobac-

II The Washington papers contain

U The Washington papers contain
correspondence between a committee
chosen from the one hundred and twenty
eight Hungarian Exiles. who lately landed
at New York, and Major Tochman and
lady. Qate Miss Jagello the heroine of
Comorn) in which the former under the re-
commentator of Kossuth, ask advice of
the latter, and respectfully suggest that
they consult "with the friends of humani-
ty and the Hungarian exiles, about raising
a fund for the purpose Of transporting the
band ofcxiles from New York to New
Buda, which is the name Of the colony
formed by Governor Ujhazi in Decatur
county, Iowa."
Major and Mrs. Tochman reply at some
length and with great good feelng,to the let
ter Of their fellow exiles, communicating a b
mong other things the following intelligence,
as honorable to the gentleman ,med as it
must have been agreeable to the exiles:
We laid your letter before the President and the
heads of the Executive branches ofthe Government
Of the United States, and explained TO them the
views of kossuth in advising you to settle in the
colony of New Buda. You will please say to your
constituents that the Chief Executive of this conn
tryiias not power to appropriate the public funds
to purposes not specified in the constitution and
laws Of the land, and, your case is not embraced
within their range, he could take aid
you from the national treasury; but that the Pres-
dent and heads of departments, with other friends
of your sacred cause and of kossuth approaching
your claims upon the American people, anxi-
that substantial evidence should be
given of the national hospitality. Fortunately their
anxiety relieved by the seasonable action of a
munifcent citizen Of Washington, Mr.. w. w. Cor
coran. gentleman of great wealth and no less lib
crafty. The subject having been brought his no.
tice, he cheerfully offered to pay all expenses of
transporting to the colony you and the hundred
and twcnty-eight exiles whose names the roll
annexed to the letter you addressed to
