MoKENDREE DowNHAM has bought
the lfiddIetoaon Transcript. Mr.
Downham has had newspaper exper-
ience and will probably make the
Transcript a fearless and vigorous
Republican paper. We wish him
success in every direction, even in a
financial way, which can barely be
expected to very beautifully pan out.
The success of the average Delaware
newspaper from a financial point of
view, is rarely to be expected.

Japan is 4 land without the domes-
tic animals. It is this lack which
strikes the. stranger so forcibly in
looking upon japanese landscapes.
There are no cows; the japanese
neither drink milk nor eat meat.
There are bat few horses, and these
are imported mainly for the use of
foreigners. The freight cars in the
city streets are pulled and pushed by
coolies, and=the pleasure carriages are
drawn by men. There are but few
dogs and these are neither used as
watch dogs beasts of burden, nor in
hunting, except by foreigners. For

The Situation in Cuba.

The struggle for freedom by a few
against fearful numerical odds still
continue. The patriots are few in
number and poorly armed. and COM
posed Of inexperienced though brave
soldiers. 1t is believed that the entire
Cuban force numbers about 28,00O,
whereas Gen. Campos has under his
command DlD the island over 10000
trained, we'll accoutred soldiers. Yet
the able Cuban generals Maceo and
Gomez, With these few, succeed in
holding the thousands at bay; and
force them to con6ne their movements
to the vicinity Of the coast. Gen.
Campos, the Spanish general, is at
present playing waiting game, hop
ing after the summers heat and au-
tumnal rains have passed away, rein
forced by.30, 900 more soldiers from
Spain, to =be able to drive the Cubans
to the very mountain recesses, and
force them (hemmed in on all sides)
to surrender.
Decent Der and January will prove
critical months for the Cuban cause
and will probably witness the decision
as to the death Of Cuban freedom or
the abandonment Of the struggle by
the spaniards, Backed by 100000
soldiers Gen. Campos intends then to
force matters to an issue and decide
the struggle.
Fighting against such fearful odds,
our hope for the success Of Cuban
freedom IS not strong, and it is feared
that the gallant band Of patriots vii,
be overpowered. Congress should
not hesitate at its coming session to
recognize the Cubans as belligerents
and permit their relatives and friends
in this country to 60 there and aid
them vita men and arms.

Cotton Seed Prospects.

The oil reporter states that the pre-
sent condition Of the oil trade is very
discouraging to the mill owners owing
to lack Of demand for oil, meal, cake
ETC., and contends that as the crushers
cannot advance tie rate, and the pro-
ducers are holding back, the ;ndica-
tions point to a short run and small
crush. The admission is made that
the existing conditions are not expect
ed to continue, and later, better prices
may prevail. One third Of the seed
is usually reserved by the producers
and most of the remaining two-thirds
had better be held by them until that
'later" time arrives. To sell seed at
a net price Of two or three dollars a
ton or double that amount is sheer
folly, as it is worth far more applied
to any kind of lands except that which
is new and of rank fertility.
Store it away in doors in stalls, gin
or barn loft, or If there is not room
for it, pen it as heretofore advised
and practiced and in next years crops
Of cotton and corn, profit BY a yield
in worn land, equal to that of new
ground, will be far more than the few
dollars the raw seed will now bring.

IT was stated in the national coun-
Gil of women recently held in Wash
ington that so per cent of the appli-
cations for divorce in the Chicago
courts came throur ne traffic in
strong drink.
AN attempt is being made in New
Hampshire Legislature to introduce
a license law, the revenue being used
to support paupers and schools. There
is something shocking n the idea of
educating innocent children on the
money gained from such a source.
SPEAKING of the enormous increase
in the consumption of spirits and to-
bacco, Dean LEROY said that what
struck him was this, that notwith-
standing all the sorrows of the work
ing classes, and the depletion of their
homes, they had plenty Of money to
spend upon both alcohol and tobacco.
ALTHOUGH Jesus said, "It is lawful
to pull an OK or an ass out of a pit on
the Sabbath day." that does not, in
the estimation of the Christian Stand
ard, warrant the opening OF liquor
saloons on the Sabbath; that is the
way to cast men into the pit, the bot
tomless pit. Multitudes are going
there by this route"
A DRUNKEN man was going down
the street in Baltimore, finging his
hands right and left, when one of
his hands came across the nose of
passer-by. The passer-by instructive
ly clenched his fist and sent the in
truder sprawling to the ground. He
got up, rubbing the place where he
was hit, and said, 81 would like to
know if this is not land of libertv?'
SIT is, said the other fellow; "but
want you to understand that your
liberty ends where my nose begins"
The Supreme Court of Canada has
decided that the Provinces cannot
constiiutional'y prohibit the liquor
traffic. The Court was unanimous in
its decision that the manufacture and
importation Of liquor could not be
prohibited, but Chief Justice Strong
and Judge Fournier held that the
sale of liquor could he. The case is
OF great Importance, as the Provinces
Of Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island and
Manitoba had ali given overwhelming
majotlties in favor of complete prohi-
bition. In fact Quebec is the only
Province that has arrayed itself
against prohibition. The decision of
the Supreme Court is not final, and
an appeal is TO be taken to the Privy
Council in England.
