New York, June IA special TO the
Tribune from Newport News says
Your correspondent today received con-
firmation, from semi official sources, reia-
tive to the formation of new or the re-
organization Of the old. flying squadron.
According to a naval attachc who was in
the city today ON business in connection
with the work on the cruisers now in these
waters the mobilization OF warshps IN
Hampton Roads is for no other reason
than that given above.
Tho navy department is believed TO be
considering two plans for proposed dash
across the ocean. one being 10 send a squat
ron OF fast ships with large coal carrying
caracity only for scouting purposes, ana
the other being to dispatch one squadron
ahead, composed OF the ileetcst ships and
best fighters among the cruiser class ana
10 follM this with a second squadron.
probably composed of two batileships. a
number of golfers. and several of the crus-
ers with lighter coal capacity.
rbs fret ra1a Of .,t
for the purpose Of having good ships In
Spanish waters 10 keep tab on the reserve
armada.
The idea OF adopting the second plan
would be to dispatch swifter cruisers ahead
for the purpose of fixing the position OF
the Spanish ships. in order that the second
and more formidable fleet might engage
the enemy in its own waters If occasion
permitted.
The Spanish reserve feet" said the
officer referred to, lis in as good condition
today as 1t ever will be, and reports com
ing from Madrid about delays in repairs
and shortness OF ammunition is all an ex-
cuse TO gain time. Spain will never send
her reserve fleet to swallow Cerveras dose.
and the government knows IL. We have
got to go after them. and from plans now
on foot 1t looks as II that would soon be
done"
1t can be stated on good authority that
this squadron, II the department decides
to send 1t across the ocean. viii be made
up in part OF the following cruisers:
Brooklyn or New York, probably both, in
which event the Brooklyn would he the
flagship; Minneapolis and Columbia, ST.
Paul. St. Louis. Yale and Harvard.
Any delay on SPANS part in moving its
reserve feet is likely to cause the forma-
ton of reinforcing squadron. to lie COM
posed OF two such battleships as the oregon
and Texas. number OF colliers, and proc
ably several more cruisers.

abuse of Republican administration Of
state affairs, but alleged nothing spe-
cific, and only repeated I'm general and
more picturesque terms the old and
discredited charges for which DR..
Swallow. when he put them in definite
form, was criminally convicted in the
Dauphin county court. II set up a ghost
Of dishonesty in state AFFAIRS and then
scared at II. although not one dollar
has been lost or stolen from the state
treasury by mismanagement or dis
honesty in all the years of Republican
administration. and It cried out against
alleged extravaganza and oppressive
taxation under which the people are
groaning, although not a man in all the
state of Pennsylvania, except he has
money at interest, pays a special IL
cense for conducting a particular bus
mess, or Is a stockholder In a bank. a
railroad company, or some like corpor-
alton, pays one cent of tax toward the
support Of the state government, di-
rectly or indirectly. II anyone will
take the trouble to look at the official
records he viii see that there is only
one county in the state, that Of Phila-
delphia, which does not get directly
back from the state in appropriations
for local purposes, and which go to
tighten the burden of local taxation,
thousands of dollars more than II
pays In. running In some of the poorer
counties as high as eight times as
much. There are only two counties,
Philadelphia and Allegheny. which do
not get back more money for common
school purposes alone than all that
their citizens pay in. The individual
.NNN L.. D.. -
islatlon which the Republican party
has made, pays nothing as an indlvld-
ual toward the support of the state
government. The corporation taxes and
the special taxes and the license fees
upon particular classes of business foot
the entire bill, and amount to over
S5,0O00O0 besides, which is divided
among the counties to tighten the bur
dens of local taxation.
This is the sort of Republican rec
ord which anybody has to go up against
who undertakes to make anti-Republl-
can fight on state issues The truth is
that the state of Pennsylvania is not
the oppressor of It's citizens, but their
benefactor, and nobody is "groaning"
under anything worse than an unsat-
isfied ambition to hold office, or some
thing he has eaten that doesn't agree
with him There are a good many peo-
pie, you know, who mistake their in
active liver for an active conscience.

The way corn bread is prepared in
the South places 1t among the dainties
to a man who loves good things, and
If people do not grow fat and large on
it the reason is not forthcoming. For
breakfast, besides the biscuits, there is
set near the head of the family a plate
upholding a thin square of egg bread,
with crust as brown as oysters fried
in the French market at New Orleans.
At noon there is nothing that goes so
well with turnip greens and jowl, and
later with beans and well-done cab
bage, as the corn pone-brittle of crust
and with a prumb that melts in the

as he approaches the table by a stack
of steaming and buttered corn batter
cakes. Why shouldn't one grow ro-
bust where such things tempt In

EDITORIAL.
DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE"

'OEMOChAIlC DOCIhlNE.' -
Under the above indefinite cap
tion some newspapers calling
themselves Democratic are quoting
the opinions of Samuel j. Tilden,
Grover Cleveland and William J.
Bryan, whom they call the three
most noted leaders of Democracy
since the Civil War, against such
enterprises as the annexation of
Hawaii and the Philippine Islands.
The chief arguments lie in the as
sertion that this has been a war of
conquest, and that there is danger
in entering into partnership in
self government with inferior or
mixed races, That the Declaration
of Independence is eloquent against
taking forcible possession of the
islands of the sea and ruling them
against the consent of the inhabi-
tants. The difficulty with the
soundness of the argument is that
the premises are false. We entered
on no war of conquest. That was
distinctly disavowed at the very
outset, and the war was not prose.
cuted with any such spirit or aim.
1t was simply to free down trodden
people from the tyranny and exac-
tions of nation which had shown
itself incapable and too inhuman to
rule and govern its island depen-
denotes. The Cubans were in a
state of turmoil under Spanish out
RACES, prosecutions and oppres-
sions. This state of affairs existing
at our very doors was a menace to
our quiet national peace and pros
perity. Spain has shown herself
powerless to either subdue the in
surgents or afford them a stable
government. We undertook for
humanity's sake to paoify the exist
ing conditions, and, in less than
four months have accomplished
what Spain for many years had
been unable to do. Suppose that it
was proposed even to give the ballot
to the inhabitants of our new pos
sessions, can it be said that they are
less fitted for the ballot than were
the negroes of the South or large
number of foreigners upon whom
the right of suffrage is annually con-
ferred. Our Federal Government
is elastic and in spite of the oft
repeated predictions made by the
English and others who took pes
simistic view of our institutions, il
has not only survived but grown
stronger and more coherent. After
the Revolutionary War Great Brit
ain believed that we were not and
never could be united, and that We
would break in pieces and be ab-

sorbed by European States. When
the war of secession came and sue
ceeding States declared themselves
out of the Union, the unbelievers in
the stability of free government be-
lieved our hour had come and it was
announced by the British minister
at Washington that the "Great Re.
public is no more, and that all that
is now needed is a tombstone in the
graveyard of nations to indicate the
day of its birth and the day of its
death. The war with Spain has
welded anew the bonds between the
North and the South and we emerge
from the brief conflict with a new
cement of brotherly love and affec-
ton spread over our common coun-
try. The North and the South have
fought on the same field under one
flag, and their sons have mingled
their blood on foreign shores in n
common cause. Our country is
stronger to-day than ever before
and her feet are more firmly plant
ed on the rock of the brotherhood
of mankind, and the sentiment ex-
pressed in the immortal words of
jefferson in the Declaration of In
dependence finds new growth and
meaning in the nations heart. If
the Democrats desire to plant them
selves on the doctrine of non ex-
pansion of territory or non reten-
ton of our lately acquired islands,
they will find no answering response
among the people. We are a great
nation and have overcome i'll the
past difficulties which seemed in
surmountable, and this, too, when
we were alone, and opposed by the
nations of Europe. Now that our
strength on sea and land has COM
PEELED admiration, respect and even
fear in the whole world, there can
be no question as to whether this
Republic will live. The whole as
pect is changed and it will be no
longer asked who will be friendly
with us, but, with whom will we be
friends. We are imperialists in tie
sense of retaining and giving to the
islands over which our flag nov
floats a secure, stable and enlight
ened government, with Christian
iziug aims and impulses.

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

THE Department of Agriculture
has designated Tuesday, Nov.
29, as the day for holding the Far
mers' Institute at Dingman's Ferry
and Wednesday, Nov. 30, at Mil
ford. The attendance last year was
notlarge, though able andinteresting
speakers were present, and much
valuable information impaired. 1t
is to be hoped that those who may
be sent here this year will be greet
ed by good audiences. The State
pays out large sums of money an.
nually for the expenses of speakers,
and farmers and others should take
every advantage of the opportun-
tiles presented for gaining addition
al light on the problem of how to
make the farm pay. If they do
not, the money so expended for
their benefit is wasted. There are
none so deaf as those who, having
ears, will not hear to their advan-
tage, or SO little to be pitied as those
who, having light furnished, will
not take the pains to look at the
pitfalls which may beset their way.
The State maintains an experiment
tai farm where many theories, too
costly for individual attempts, are
tested, and numerous experiments
made, all of which go to benefit and
aid the farmers in their work. The
experience is all theirs simply for
the listening or asking. Come out
and avail yourselves of it.
