Sixteen beats fifteen. According to
reliable information that is the meas
ure Of the strength of the anti-AddiclSs
and the Addicks men who will sit in
the next General Assembly, nine Rep
resentatives and four Senators in this
county and three Representatives in
Sussex being classified as opposing
Addicks and one Representative in
New Castle; six Representatives and
two Senators in Kent and four Repre-
sentatives and two Senators in Sussex
being classified as Addicks men. The
following table shows the classification
In detail:

From the foregoing it will be seen
that the opponents of Addicks will get
their chief strength from New Castle
that Addicks will have the whole Kent
delegation and six out of nine in
Sussex.
Again, on the foregoing basis, the
anti-Addicks people will control the
Republican majority of the House by q
vote Of - to IL. The Senate will stan6
four anti-Addicks to four Addicks men.
Such is the situation as it appear.

Washington, Nov. 90. The Navy
Department has ordered tho trial, by
court martial, of Naval Constructor
John f. Hanscom, in charge Of the
construction department at the League
Island navy yard. This is one of the
first results, aside from the discharge
of several employees, of the investiga-
tion conducted by Lieut., Knapp into
charges that there had boon gross vio-
lation of the rules relative to the en-
ployment OF labor in navy yards and
at this particular yard. Among other
things, it was charged that employees
had been paid what is known as "time
and half" for ordinary time. There
are many other allegations Of like
character.

The suggestion has been advanced
that one scheme to secure the nomina-
ton and election of Mr.. Addicks to the
Senate will be the absence from the
caucus or from the sessions for balloting
for Senator, if necessary, Of members
of the Legislature opposed to him.
This is a move that should be carefully
guarded against. No member who is
conscientiously opposed to the election
of Mr.. Addicks can afford to give him
the benefit OF half vote by remaining
away from the caucus or any of tho
daily sessions.

Fearful misery In ouDa.

a private letter rom CuDa, wrltten
under date of November 18th and
printed in New York paper, contains
the following:
Misery stares us in the face here
daily. The country people not having
employment in the country are now in
the cities, and beneath the portals
every night You can see crouched
together men, women and children.
There is more misery and death now

to all the cities. What the Commits

they must be aware of these facts.
The condition of these same people
in Cuba was one of the pretexts for our
recent war with Spain. 1t was classed
as a war for humanity, for the purpose
of relieving these sufferers from cruel
and bnrbarous Spanish rule.
Bnt, after the firing of the first hos
tile shot, these people were absolutely
forgotten. A rigid blockade of Cuban
ports kept supplies of all kinds out Of
the island, and no doubt hundreds died
of actual starvation. Now we are in

The wilmington Race Riots.

John Y. Darcy, colored, the collector
of the port at Wilmington, N. c.,
places the blame for the perturbed
condition of affairs in his State upon
Editor Manly. He says "Manly is
responsible for the whole unfortunate
condition of things. When he pub
lished his editorial rejecting upon the
white women of the State, I with
other leading colored men of Whining
ton held a conference with him and
urged him to retract the article. We
even went so far as to write an edi-
torial retracting the one written by
Manly, but he would not take our
advice and publish it. If he had done
SO there would have been no race war
in Wilmington. He accepted the ad-
vice of others, and the folly of his
course is shown by the events which
followed. The intelligent colored people
of the State did not endorse the utter
ances of Manly, and il he had acted
wisely there would have been no blood
shed in Wilmington. And then, too,
the committee of colored citizens ap-
pointed for the purpose of suppressing
Manly's paper Numbered in not
making known at once their dis
approval Of Manly's course, and their
determination to get rid of HIM. do
not believe that it was the intention of
the white citizens to wreck or destroy
his office, but when the committee of
colored citizens were apparently in
different to the suppression of Menly,
this enraged the white citizens, and
the wreck OF the office followed

occurrences, Mr.. Darcy declares,

white and colored citizens of North
Carolina was most cordial and ami

secured permanently, and that the
former pleasant relationship will be
restored. But the white men Of the
South will not tolerate any reflection
upon their women, and it is a mis-.
taken idea to reflect upon them,
whether it be by Mr.. Manly in NORTH
Carolina or by Mrs. Grannis in New
York, but fortunately for Mrs. Grannii
she was in New York while Mr.. Manly
was in Wilmington.
