Senator Proctor in recent interview

I'VE are not talking about presidential

We will Dc satisfied with any good Re.

done, but, of course, do not approve OF

The proclamation of the President
warning all citizens of the United States
not to break the neutrality law by send
ing arms and munitions of war to the
Cuban rebels is timely perhaps, i'll view OF
the numerous reports Of the fitting out
Of tilibusterng expeditions destined for
the island. Whatever the personal synI-
pathies of the people of the United States
in this conflict it is evident that it is the
government duty to prevent as far as
may be any assistance to rebellion
against a country with which we are at
peace. If fljbustcring expeditions land
men and arms in Cuba and our govern
ment has been guilty of lack of dill
Gence in discovering them and prevent
ing their departure we are liable to
Spain and may have to pay, just as Eng
land had to pay us for the spolations of
the Alabama.

the United States Circuit Court in favor
of the Gettysburg Electric Railway
Company in the dispute over the taking
Of land BY the government to preserve
the battlefield. Judge Dallas, in his
opinion, says that the right of the U.

use, upon making just compensation, is
fully recognized, but that this right
cannot be exercised within the limit OF
several States for any purpose which is
not incident to some power delegated to

WASHINGTON Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,
WAsHINGToN, D. c., April goth, 1896.
Is the Monroe doctrine the myth
which Europeans have always preten-
ded to think it? That has been very
live question in Washington ever since
the news Of the torcible occupation of
Corinto, the main port of entry Of Mic
aragua, by English sailors but nobody
answers it. Secretary Gresham, who
could if he would, has shown SO little
interest in the news from Mic
aragua, that the impression is general
that he was not surprised; while DR..
Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister to the
United States, has made it plain to all
who come in contact with him that he
was very much surprised at the occupa-
tion of the territory Of his country.
The air Of secrecy and mystery which
nearly always surrounds the State de
partment has been more dense than ever
Of late, but the British Foreign Office,
at London, is less secretlve, and the Ca
BILE has informed us that an understand.
ing with the United States existed.
What the understanding is cannot be
stated, but the absence of the squadron
of Z. S. warships now cruising in South
Atlantic waters from the harbor Of Co.
rinto when the English landing was
made, when it could e4sily haye been
there, implies that the understa nding
includes the acceptance by this govern.
ernment Of a construction Of the Mon
roe doctrine which permits the occupa-
ton of Nicaraguan territory by the
English for the purpose Of forcing com.

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.
The IDEA Of being able to invent something
trikcs most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to disncl.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money, and
the complex ones arc seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or another,
concciycs an idea, Which, if patented, you'd
probably be worth to HIM a fortune. UnfJr.
tunatcly such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple Invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock- the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way ofimproving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author
The prize we offer 1T the end ofcach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office ornote
Every competitor must apply fora patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc

MoNoREL RACE IN DELAWARE.
African and Indian Blood Mingled I'm =
Thrifty Community.


There has been much speculation
about tho so-called Moors living in
Kent and Sussex counties, Delaware,
says the Milford DELI Herald. These
people are usually swarthy, black
haired and black-eyed, though some
times OF fair complexion. They are
mostly farmers. They have their own
schools distinct from the general pub
lie school system, and they associate
neither with whites nor with blacks.
One theory has been that they are Of
the Moorish race and that their ancest-
ors were Spanish Moors wrecked on the
coast more than century ago. An
other tradition represents them as de-
scendants of the Nanticoke Indians.
George p. Fisher, lawyer long prac-
ticing in Delaware, writes to present
what he regards as satisfactory evil
dence as to the origin of these people.
He has been acquainted with these
people all his life. Noke Norwood, a
giant Of the tribe, erect and black
haired at IS, he knew from childhood,
When Mr.. Fisher became attorney gen.
eral of the state he was called upon to
prosecute Levin Sockum, one Of the
race, for selling ammunition to Isaiah
Harmon of the same race, the indict-
ment having been found under
statute Of Delaware making ii mis-
demeanor to sell arms and ammunition
to any negro or mulatto. Harmon was
man OF 20 years, with excellent eau
casian features, dark chestnut hair,
rosy cheeks and hazel eyes. Mr.. Fisher
thought him the handsomest man in the
courtroom. Nevertheless, Lydia Clark,
kinswoman Of Harmon, testified for
the state that according to a family
tradition, some years before the revo-
lutionary war broke out, when she was
little girl, their ancestress, woman
OF Irish birth, owning and cultivating
farm OF rstaqvet- sq'.p-croagfosc4o
farm in the Indian River Hundred,
Sussex county, few miles from
loves, bought of SLAYER that was
driven into Lewes Creek a negro slave
who professed to be a chief of one OF
the Congo tribes. The woman, whose
name was Reguh, shortly after married
her slave. and their children, not being
| allowed to associate with the whites,
.n.crmarried with the remnant of the
Nanticoke Indians then still living In
Sussex county. The witness, very
old woman, looked like an Indian OF
pure blood.
