Our capture Of Santiago is all the
more glorious because it was accom-
plished without great sacrifice OF life
and property. We lose nothing by per
mitting the Spanish troops to return tc
Spain with their arms. Their presence
in Cuba as prisoners of war would be a
source Of embarrassment and expense
to those charged with the prosecution
of vigorous campaign several hun
dred miles from the real base Of sup
plies. Step by step we have driven
the Spaniards from their chosen posi-
tions. We have destroyed their fleets
and conquered their armies. The end
is not far off. Spain must submit tC
the inevitable, and every days events
make 1t all the more apparent that she
is about convinced Of the hopelessness
OF her position.

A CHANCE OF BASE.

Regular Republicans having refused
to accept the Addicks apportionment
the Union Republican State Committee
has met and decided to go ahead and
map out a campaign without them, just
as they would have done had the har-
mony conference never been held. That
the Regulars cannot accept the Ad-
dicks conditions OF peace without self
immolatiOn is apparent. They are de
sirous Of effecting a union OF the two
factions, but not under an apporti0n-
ment which would deprive them OF en-
tity as a factor in local Republican
politics. They are in a position to die
tate terms. There is not one Of them
who does not recognize that a Regular
Republican ticket cannot win in Della
ware without the support OF the Ad-
dicks faction. Knowing that such sup
port is out OF the question, they do not
expect to nominate an Independent
ticket which will win. But they dc
know, and the Addicksites know t.
too, that with an independent Regular
Republican ticket in the field Union
Republican ticket can never be elected
in this state. Whatever agreement the
two parties may reach, the Addicksite'
must be the ultimate benefciaries OF It
for II once the Regular Republicans
surrender their organization anc
lose their identity, their PC
tency will be gone and a yeal
or two will eliminate them entirely

who, finding they cannot eliminate Ad
dicks, are willing to be themselves

CONTEMPORARY OPINION

THE WAR AND THE CANAL
Among the many lessons this war is
teaching the American people is that Of
the strategic of canal connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific oeans, either at
Panama or by the Nicaragua route.
Dealing with a sixth-rate power like
Spain, we have been able to get along
without the battleship Oregon during
her Tong passage around Cape Horn;
but it is easily conceivable that we
might have needed her-needed her
very much indeed. The existence OF a
ship canal between the Pacific ocean
and the gulf Of Mexico would have en-
abled her to take her place in the At
lantic fleet in a very short time.
Suppose the fruits of Dowey's great
victory in Manila bay were threatened
with a canal across the isthmus
through which a few strong ships could
be sent, = il would be possible to make
all safe in a short time, compared witt
the delay incident to the voyage arount
the entire continent. And when oul
fleets are dependent upon coaling sta
tions and practically all the world hal
proclaimed neutrality, this means Z
great deal.
The commercial advantages OF sucl
canal have for years been yer!
strongly urged; and so, for that matter
have the naval advantages. But aca
demic and theoretical arguments pal,
when compared with the actual demon
stration OF necessity which we hav,
had in this war.
That there must. at no distant day
be a ship canal between the Gulf o
Mexico and the Pacific ocean. and tha
the United States must absolutely con
troll this canal, has been clearly show
to the satisfaction of the American peo

At Z o'clock yesterday morning a

If physicians as a body were careful
of the interests Of their profession in
being prompt to invoke the law to
punish medical impostors, the occupa-
tion of the divine healer" and the
Christian Science demonstrators" would
soon be gone. The case of Josiah Cud-
ney, the divine healer" now practicing
his blasphemous imposture in Kensing-
ton, is in point. Here is man of low
intelligence who has been given the
use of a church by a well-meaning but
misguided clergyman, and harangues
his hearers against resorting TO the use
Of medicines. He is loud in claiming
that a doctors prescription is a fraud
and that all forms of bodily illness car
be cured by resource to him for laying
on OF hands and the use Of some conse-
Grated oil. The man is mischievous

of medicine by any one who is nol
qualified by training and authorized by
the commonwealth. Cudney is liable tC

OUR DEBT no BITMBUE-BEES


The work of the bumble-bee in
bringing about the cross-fertilization
bf flowers is as important as that of
the honey-bee, and these two stand at
the head of the list OF insects useful
in this respect. Each has its flowers
which it alone visits, but there are
many flowers on neutral ground, visit
ed by both. SO we may say Of the
bumble-bee, as of the honey-bee, the
more bumble-bees the more seeds; the
more seeds the more fowers-especial-
ly wild flowers, as the tall bell-fowor,
touch-me-not, Solomon 's-seal, gentian.
Dutchmen's-breeches, and turtle-head
But probably the most important work
this insect does for agriculture is upon
the fields of red-clOver. There is abun-
dant proof that this plant will not pro-
duce seed without the cooperation oil
the bumble-bee. 1t is impossible foI
the wind to bring about the fertiliza-
tion of the seed, as it may do in the
case Of Indian corn, grain and some
forest trees. The tube Of red clover
blossoms, too, is so long that other in
sects (ncluding the honey-bee) are moi
regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant mus
have visits from the bumbleeIbee. This
insect is not native Of Australia, anC
red-clOver failed to produce seed there
until bumble-bees were imported. A
soon as they became numerous III,
plant could be depended upon for seed
Again, the blossoms Of the first crop o
the medium red-clover" of our owl
country are just as perfect as those o
the second crop, but there are too few
bumble-bees in the field, so early in tn
season, to produce fertilization; henc
little or no seed in this crop. If bum
ble-bees were sufficiently numerou
there is no reason why much large
yields OF clover seed might not be ex
pected than at present.
Here is what a we'll informed farme
says about it:
1T was formerly thought that tn
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas
l can prove that its prosperity rest
on the bumble-bee. The world canno
prosper without the farmers produc
The farm will not be productive with

seed without seed, and we cannot hav
