Include the TraInps.

There has been some talk of doing
away altogether with Jail workshops
on the plea that they are not profit
able. This has led to some declara-
tons of opinion respecting the mat
ter. The Bar Harbor Record and Els
worth AMERICAN take the ground that
it isn't question Of expense at all;
that ''the modern idea of imprison-
ment is toward the betterment Of the
morals of criminals, and idleness per-
verts the object of the law There's
sense in that, and while the need of
good hard work, especially for tramps,
is not mentioned, we yet have faith
to believe that the average hobo will
steer clear of place of confinement
where he will be obliged to employ
from eight to ten hours of the TWEEN
ty-four at hard manual labor.-Ken

Affairs in Cuba.

1t should not be supposed from the
Temporary lull in the reports from
Cuba, says a writer from that war
disturbed island that the insurgents
are not holding up their end of the
fight as firmly as ever. Indeed, mat
tiers look no better for the Spanish
forces than they did several weeks
ago. The troops under Gen. Campos
are still suffering from the effects OF
Cuban climate and have been unable
to strike even one Very effective
blow. Meanwhile the insurgents keep
up a harassing guerilla warfare, cal
culated to gnaw the courage out OF
far better soldiers than Spain has at
present on her island dependency.
To add to the disheartening features,
SO far as Spain is concerned, Campos
has finally mapped out the plan of
campaign winch he has delayed so
long, and it is not a promising one.
He proposes to stretch his army out
in an attenuated line from coast to
coast and sweep the islands length,
driving the insurgents into the forests
or killing them outright. Once hay
ing made the journey, Campos as
sumes the rebellion would be effect
ually quelled.
There could scarcely be more fav-
orable policy for the insurgents. Fa-
miliar with the topography of the is
land and aware of all its resources
of refuge or saccor, they would have
little difficulty in nagging Campos'
imposing battle line and cutting
through it at any of its weaker points.
That the mere passing of the troops
over the length of the island would
subdue such an uprising as that now
in progress no one will believe. The
troops having gone on, those insur-
gents who remained behind would
still be ready for battle and would be
able to take the Spanish forces by
both front and rear.
To heighten the difficulties still fur
Their, Campos has given it out very
plainly that if Spain is to continue her
present policy toward the insurgents
there may be a demand for $4,000
more troops, and that the campaign
might easily kill off half of these. AS
Spain has neither men nor money to
spare without depicting the forces
needed at nome and scraping the last
dollars out of her treasury, this is a
prospect that will give the ministry
some anxiety. Taken in connection
with the very friendly expressions of
a large part of the American people
toward the Cubans, and the fact that
Congress is to meet SO soon, Spain
can hardly regard her prospects in
Cuba as other than gloomy.

Select large oysters and have them
scrubbed thoroughly, then place them in
the oven in large tin with the round
side of he shells down, so that " hen they
open the liquor will not be lost, As soon
they do open remove the upper she'll,
sprinkle them with salt, pepper and
chopped parsley, add little butter and
serve hot as possible on bed of water

an excellent first course at dinner if ac-
companied by hin slices Of brown bread

FRIED MARYLAND, he is reported to

carried Maryland, he is reported to
have said:
1.-THE fact is that the protection
sentiment in the state has largely in
creased. In my own county, for ex-
ample, we have a number of wooden
mills. Until very recently they have
been run upon a rough and cheap
class of goods In the last two or
three years, however, they have
undertaken a higher grade of work,
and in order to do it they have been
obliged to import a large number of
skilled laborers from MASSACHUSETTS
and other New England states. Most
of these men are republicans.
"A like condition exists in other
counties. There has been a change,
too, among democrats who are nat
urally inclined towards protection,
and who believe that republican SUI
premacy will more certainly insure. a
permanent protective policy
There is no question that the pro-
lection sentiment among all classes is
now very strong, and many who be-
lieye in the doctrine have been dis
gusted by the business depression of
the last two years. Naturally they
turn to the party which is not IN
power for relief, especially in view of
the fact that that party has con-
sistent protection record"

This was Miss NJ onaghans first appear

in Bangor last evening and scored an in
Simultaneous success. Her voice is one OF
rare beauty and it was used with very
pleasing effect. That the audience

1t is seldom that such absolute in
difference is shown by senators and
representatives a week before the
meeting of Congress as to what
recommendations the President
message may contain as exists among
those now in Washington. This in
difference is not confined to either
party. Everybody seems to have
arrived at the conclusion that it
makes no difference what Mr.. Cleve-
land may say or leave unsaid; that it
is the wisdom of the republicans in
Congress that must be depended upon,
and not Mr.. Cleveland's message.
Ex-Governor Dingley, of this State,
is likely to be made chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
next House. Mr. Dingley is one of
the best equipped members of the
House of Representatives, an indefat-

pointment to the responsible posi-
