Havana, Cuba, July 81. The bishop
of Havana, Mgr. Manuel Santandsr ,
Frutes, has published a pastoral. that
has been read in all of the churches,
in which his says there are times when
war is justifahle, and reminds his
people how Saint Louis, Saint Maurice
and Saint Fernando became perfect in
military exercises. The pastoral pro-
cseds:
The war which Spain is sustaining
against the United States is Just war.
Spain is doing nothing but TO defend
her rights over her possession. When
the United States provoked q war to
obtain Spanish property. what should
u bravo and righteous people do.
Should they give away their rights to
stronger or more populous claimant?
Conscience arises against such injustice
and appeals TO the Justice of God.
ut is sweet to die for ones country
and in behalf of Gods justice. Life
without honor is Thousand times
worse than death. 1t is impossible to
ask the heroic Spanish army to Las
down its armu without struggle. Tht
Catholic religion does not enjoin upon
its votaries such humility as that.
Otherwise, nations would be but thu
playthings Of those who do not bslieve
in God. The right TO repel force by
force is not merely permissible right;
it ia obligatory right. In this case il
ia all the more, because the United
States declared thB war. In the days
of Pelayo and the times OF Isabella,
Spaniards cared nothing about the
number OF their enemias. II was a
shame to surrender, and they did NOS
give up their rights. They fought to
the death.
Neither the army nor the people il
the authority to settle the Issues in,
vulved. When the word goes forth TO.
resistance to invasion, all must obey
without murmur,ng or without finding
fault. I"
The pastoral calls upon the people to
give aims to the poor, and to help them
in other ways, that their lives may not
be in danger from, failing subsistence.

THE TIME TO STRIKE.

Dover Index.
The unanimous resolution Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, at it's
meeting in Dover last week, concerning
election corruption, is one which should
be marked, learned and inwardly digested
by every Delawarean.
There will be splendid opportunity
of making the coming fall election a
turning point in our State history. In
order to achieve such result, however,
the individual effort of every Della
warean, regardless of party affiliations,
must be called to the work.
1t is needless now to rethresh the old
straw of past political corruption. The
indisputable fact of its existence has
made of our little Commonwealth by
word in the mouths of the citizens Of
our sister States The shame of 1t all Is
too fresh upon US to admit of forgetful-
ness. The present need at this time is to
take the undoing this great wrong out OF
politics and put IL on the high plane OF
common decency and morality.
Much of the calling of names, crimi-
nation and recrimination over past
bribery at the polls, has been due to the
hope of thereby securing party advant-
age. Too many of those who have raved
furiously against the Ubiquitous practice
have been open to the charge that they
only shrieked when the shoe pinched
their own feet.
We believe in and heartily indorse the
| resolution of the State Central Committee
of the Democratic party. but we would
wish to have every Delawarean, whatever
his politics, to make just such a resolu-
| ton in his own heart
This eradication Of the greatest civil
\ evil of modern times can only be accom-
/ plished by the union of individual effort.
Political organizations may aid in the
great cause, but the true panacea lies
still with the people themselves.
| We are fast nearing a crucial point in
our history. After bribery and corrup'
ton had grown so wantonly bold in oul
very midst rs to threaten the permanent
sapping of our civil institutions, all that
can be accomplished by the mere enact
ment of laws was done, In our new Con
stitution itself, no provision was more
carefully considered and more conscien'
tiously resolved upon, than that provid
ing against political corruption. The
General Assembly has added its part and
share to statutory safeguards, until oul
little State has a complete and thorough
system of anti.corruption laws ant
statutes. tqs
All this is well enough, and was abso
lutely necessary, but he is simple indee(
who fancies that with the enactment o
these measures, the work has been done
A moral disease such as has possessed
Delaware for the length of time 1t has i
not SO easily killed. The germs are il
the very atmosphere and there is but on
cure-an aroused and indignant public.
If we are ever again to enjoy the plac
of honor which we once filled there mus
be united and determined effort, Their
must be no squirting, no evasion. no OK
cusing for party advantage. The ind
vidual, Democrat or Republican, VIII
dares to wink at any subterfuge Of tn
kind should be ground down under tn
iron heel of public contempt. Ii

IF you want your hair to look nice,
comb it,
This sounds abrupt. but she meant
literally what Hhe said. So many
combs are used this summer that the
hair ia mass of them. You can
scarcely get too many of these combs in
your hair. Many people do up the hair
with as few hair pins as possible, and
finish ii with combs. They set them
in the back and in the sides, and they
stick pins in between in bewildering
array.
The combs must be selected to bar-
months with the hair. A sharp con-
trast is not guod. For black hair dark
ambsr combs are appropriate, or any
kind OF dark natal or material. Dull
gold is good.
On blonde hair there may be silver,
pale amber and other light materials or
metal goods; but IL 10 never we'll to
employ too great contrast.
Ribbons are somewhat worn in the

In Honor of the Day

Yesterday Americans in all parts OF
the world celebrated the Fourth of July

American consul at this port had very
large specimen of "Old Glory" run up
on the flagstaff of the consulate, and the
two American craft in port looked gay
with the Stars and Stripes. The time
honored Fourth is day of national re-
ioicing, and must have been yesterday
celebrated with great enthusiasm In view
of the glorious news from Cuba. 1t was
most appropriate that on such, a day the
people of the great republic should be
presented with tidings Of victory on land
and sea by their army and navy In the
West Indies. Skaters operations in
Santiago province have been brilliant.
The landing of the troops was a mastery
bit of work, on which the American gen.
eral has been complimented by the Lon

strategy and tactics Of Shafter have been
OF high class. Working on q good
plan he has, byturning movements, forced
the Spaniards from their various posi-
tons, and has now, in the teeth OF des-
pcrate resistance, stormed she entrench-
ments in front Of Santiago, and seems on
the eve of capturing the city. Powerful
reinforcements had on 25th June been
ordered TO proceed to join the American
army, and ought To lie on the water now.
A decisive naval victory has been gained
over Cervera's fleet, but details are lack

At The afternoon session Of the

contract for supplying drugs to the
institution was awarded to j. Harvey
Spruance of this city.
DR.. Belville, who was one of the
committee appointed to look after the
proposed arrangements for the location
Of hospital department for ths in
stitution. made his report in relation
10 the matter as far as he was able to
90. lie stated that he bad looked into
the matter very carefully and had
found that it will shortly become one
of the necessities OF the institution.
He explained that there were needy
persons, persons who were too poor to
pay for the necessary treatment or
medicine in their illness. and he
thought that the proper thing for The
board to do, IL it could see aIy possible
way, was to arrange one or two rooms
in the third or fourth floor of the
building for the accommodation OF the
proposed hopsitRl department. lie also
thought that the institution should
then. be called New Castle County
Hospital.
Dr.. Springer stated that il was
becoming necessity. in order to prop.
erly take care of sick patients, and il
the members did not sse fit to establish
mora than one ward to establish ont
anyway. Messrs. Hart, Dickey, Tomar
and others stated that the suggestion
was able and the hospital was nesded.
DIR. Belville was continued on tn,
committee and will make more com
plete report at the next meeting of thu
board.

to look after ths proper heating OF th,
