WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-Important results are like

Useless Lamentations.

tits useless for lovers Of peace to con-
tinue their complaints about the evils Of
war. In fact. it Is unpatriotic for them to
10 80. War now exists. and the honor of
our country must be upheld. We believe
tho ends aimed at nre calculated to pro-
mote the good Of large body of people
as we'll as to avenge wrong that no ma
tion would tamely let pass unpublished.
Every European power guarantees pro.
tection to its citizens In every quarter Of
the globe and we should do the same We
must do 50 or be looked upon with con.
Tempt Besides 1t Is high time the butch.
sry in Cuba should stop. 1t has already
gone on too long and humanity demands
Its cessation. Through the greed and
pugnacity of Spain, war has been inaus-
Hrated and the evils which follow must
rest on her head. Our people, 10 man,
should sustain our Government and patrl-
btIcally submit to every privation which Is
seemed necessary to insure success. We
have no choice but to go forward and we
believe the result will justify every sacri
dee. All great reforms have been achieved
through the shedding of blood and the
naanumission of the Cubans from the
Spanish yoke will not be an exception to
the established rule. As in the days Of
Joshua, let tho people go forward and he
pnemies of Justice and right will sooa BIO
Fanquishetl.

Sanitation,

Mr. Ed FOR: Last week pokcd my long
hygenic nose into the stable yard of the
Transfer Co. on East Fourth street beioW
Pine street and also the stable yard on
Pine street near Third street, and say in
my opinion these stable yards are not in q
good sanitary condition. While in Dover
II few days ago my hygenic propensity WIS
drawn to the Relief Station in the rear of
the Court House to the left; one door was
locked and the one open. l say in my
Judgment the sanitary condition of thi
place could lie improved.
How long, o ye guardians of grenter
Wilmington and east Wilmington incluu-
ed. will the wretehed sidewalk leading to
the 8 ea,nBonb wharf on the Christiana be
allowed to remain to the dlsgust an an
noyance of our people and to thousands of

shame? Why not pave this sidewalk de-
Gently and send tho cost thereof to tho big
corporation. Don't like to, suppose.

Spanish FaIly,

The destruction Of the Spanish fleet at
Manfia, by the American fleet under Com.
niodore Dewey has failed to convince the
Spanish Government Of the futlii,y of
continuing the war against our country.
Indeed 1t seems to lave stimulated the
Queen and het cabinet to put forth greater
Efforts TO accomplish their purposes. Per.
baps one or two moro similar defeats will
cad them to change their views. They
must do go or they will be forced into
Bankruptcy and utter helplessness. Thor
D1urse IL another exemplifieation OF tho
old adage: "Whom the gods will to do
troy, they FIRST make mad!' Spain should
have relinquished Cuba and made repara-
zion ion blowing up the steamship Maine,
thus saving her credit and avoiding the
humiliation Of n terrible defeat. She had
abundant warning and now must take tho
consequences. The Spanish army will DO
driven cut Of Cuba JUST certainly as tho
iarth revolvas on its axis and in the end
Spain will pay n handsome sum toward
The liquidation of the expenses her hnugh-
Illness and pride made necessary. n
