FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

There seems to be an apprehension among Connecticut tobacco growers. that the coming acquisition of Porto Rico and the eventual absorption of Gu ba, will operate to their disadvantage by bringing the West Indian leaf into free competition with their product.- Bridgeport Farmer.
 The man or men who think any kind of fare or accommodations are good enough for a private soldier ought to be ferreted out. There are too many of them in places where they can put into practice their undemocratic and assinine ideas. Bulletin.
 The death of Engineer Olds, at New Rochelle, was owing, in part at least, to which his neglect of the signals on the road was the cause. Mir Olds was one of the most faithful and experienced engineers on the road and no one, him. self the least of any, could explain how he came for the first time in his long experience on the road, to run against the signals. We have noticed this case as an unfortunate one, and it's ending shows that it was peculiarly so.- Bridgeport Standard.
 The Syracuse Post says: It is incon, grous to maintain the prize-money sys tenn in the navy and not in the army. Il the soldiers capture arms, munitions, supplies and treasure from the enemy, | the Government takes it all. But if the navy takes a valuable prize. it receives | under certain conditions one-half the value of the prize and under other con ditions the whole value. In each case soldier and sailor is supposed to be fighting for the honor of his flag, and not for the spoils of battle. There ii no mercensry spirit in the army. There ought to be none in the navy. It it high time that the prize-money system were abolished. 1t should be relegated | to the past. It smacks too much of pi racy to be tolerated by the civilization of to-day.
 The buyer of the gold brick severs himself from belief in It's value with reluctance, and the New England in. vestors in the North Lubec Sea Water Gold Company, or some of them. still cling to the notion that there is money in it. What there is they contributed, and have therefore paid for the right to have an opinion on the subject, though it is fo olish one.-N. Y. Tribune. The man who enters the army takes with him there his stomach and his self respect. He is entitled to decent treatment. t.-Hartford Courant.

There may be reasons of some weight why provisions and medicines can not be got to an invading army on foreign soil. But no particle of weight can be attached to the reasons for our soldiers going without these supplies when they are here within our midst. Montauk, Ohiokamauga. Florida. All within easy acoess, and yet American soldiers starving in those places. A disgrace to America, and whose fault? We want that certainly established and then we will prepare punishment for the American Weyler.

Admiral Sampson says of Ga rcia and the Cubans:

''General Garcia is grand old man, and learned to admire him during my short stay before Santiago. think it very natural that he should withdraw his men when it seems that he was not invited to witness the surrender of San- tiago. He had waged a war in that country several years, and had even been captured once, and 1t was not out of the ordinary for him to set his heart upon seeing the fall of Santiago.
 "It has been asserted that he was in- vited by General Shafter. As to that I do not know. He said himself that he was not and under the circumstances it was appropriate that he should be in vited. When he withdrew his men his reason was probably sufficient and good.
 ''I think the Cubsns will be able to govern themselves. that is judging from what saw of them. Garcia seemed to appreciate the purposes and aims of the Americans, and the men of his army were supposed to do the right thing too"

A prominent New York newspaper remarks to the effect that instead of enacting curfew ordinances in the diff ierent cities, the cities ought to make their streets safe place for children even after nine o'clock at night. The idea k all right, but the danger to the children is not in the shape of bodily harm, but in evil influences of such a nature that the city government is yet unknown that can effectually suppress them.

1t was his yearly custom to write a
letter of regret at being unable to ac-
cept. and attend these annual reunions,
to which he received the regular and
yearly invitation, and it was his last
request that his wife should represent
him this year in person. 1t is needless
to say that, the ''old boys in blue" gave
their beloved Captains widow a royal
reception.
1t will be of interest to those inter

that the national encampment of the
