There is a restlesness in the world
politics that gives great anxiety to
thinking people. America heretofore
has been isolated. She has attended
TO her own business strictly and as
a result has found it necessary to have
only small army and navy. She
has enjoyed peace and prosperity at
home. Her taxes have been heavy,
not that there was any necessity for
heavy taxes, but the legitimate re
suit of extravaganza and class legisla-
ton. Should we now become en-
tangled with the politics of Europe,
the result will be frequent wars, large
standing armies and navy, Cypress
i've taxes, and a general condition OF
uncertainty.
A speedy ending Of the present
war may save us, but if the war with
Spain should be protracted, COM
plications with other nations are
almost certain. The next few weeks,
possibly the next few days, may
decide whether we are to have peace
or long continued war, with all its
horrors, suferings and cost.

Spain evidently don't want any
more of her war vessels sunk.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1898-05-20

The government has very wisely
prohibited accounts Ofthe movements
of our various vessels. Our people
very naturally are anxious to know
where every vessel is, but we cannot
get the news through papers without
giving it to the enemy. 1t IS very
important that they should not know
where our squadrons are. If they
are able to know these facts, they
would also know where to strike an
effective blow, without risk to them
selves. Let us be content to be IN T.
norance, IN order that our enemies
may be kept in the same state Of un
certainty. When something has beer
done, the facts will be speedily re-
ported.

The movements of the army are
now dependent upon the navy A
large force will be modified at each
ofthe several points on the coast,
ready to embark for Cuba at short
notice. Should Admiral Sampson
or Commodore Schley defeat the
Spanish fleet, the embarkation would
follow Immediately and a combined
attack wonld be made on Havana,
within few days. If the Spanish
feet should disappear, the army
would at once be transferred to Cuba
for the L. S. fleet would be amply
sufficient to repulss the Spanish
squadron at any time. We may
have a decisive naval battle before we
90 to press, Or we may be unable to
meet the Spanish feet for several
weeks.

There is nothing now which pro
tects us from a great war with con
tinental Europe, except the hrm Po--
sition of England.
England is standing with us and
up to this time has proved herself a
powerful, protecting shield.

The Spanish feet evidently IS not
seeking a fight with Admiral Sampson.
We are, however, prepared to hear
of one at any time and will not be
surprised Il the Spanish fleet returns
without paying its compliments to
Admiral Sampson or Commodore
Schley. If the hostile fleets should
meet, there will be some warm work.

Some Suggestive Orders Received by tho
Pussy s. Jones Co. of This City.
"The works of q good man will fol-
low him. is quotation often seen.
That it applied to business firms is
also in evidence in this city. The
orders recently received by the Pussy
& Jones Co. show that the good work
of the firm is appreciated by those for
whom contracts have been performed
in the past.
Among the latest orders received is
one for a boiler, to have working
pressure of 1875 pounds to the square
inch, and to be constructed under the
requirements of the United States
Steamboat laws. The order is for the
steamer Chimbo, which was constructed
by the Pussy & Jones Co. several years
ago
The company has also received the
contract for furnishing new platen
for a combined steam hydraulic cotton
press for firm in Texas. The original
press was made by the local company
several years ago, and the owners in
writing for the new parts, compliment
the builders upon the work, and state
that the machine is as good as new.
In the interest of the local company

- ACCIDENT TO FIFE BELL.
Apparatus in the city Hall Tower Badi,
Damaged.

AS fire alarm from box No. &c was
being received upon the apparatus in
the City Hall tower, 10 feet from the
street, about 4.30 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, pulley broke away from
the floor and allowed the 1900 pound
weight connected with the apparatus
to fall. The weight dropped a distance
of eight feet. when the chain to which
it was attached became caught ON a
gas pipe and its further descent was
checked, otherwise it would probably
have fallen through several floors into
the cellar under the city court room.
1t did fall far enough to damage the
Gamewell striker very extensively,
breaking off the iron legs and drawing
the apparatus to the top of the tower
ceiling Parts of the machine were
scattered over the floor.
Lineman Frank S. Hyland inspected
the apparatus and thinks it may re-
quire a new machine, which costs
something like S700.
The accident tore out the whole cir
cult which includes the Friendship
and Phoenix enginehouses and those
two companies received only number
"a, instead Of the box number 26,
which was sent in The fire was in
Frederick Hooks stable, on Adams
street near Linden. 1t was one-story
frame structure, and was completely
destroyed. The loss will probably be
within $500. Cam g. Miller were the
occupants CO the building.

Paris, France, Sept. 21.-The trial
Of former Col. Picquart and M. Lob
lois, lawyer, on tho charge OF reveal
ing documents concerning the national
defence, was to hayo commenced today
before tho correctional tribunal.
The public prosecutor, however, asked
for an adjournment, on the ground
that the prosecution of Col Picquart
on the charge of forgery and using
forged documents had been ordered by
the Minister of War.
NJ. Labori, who was counsel for M.
lola during the latter's famous trial,
Indignantly opposed tho adjournment,
which, he said, was an attempt to
hand over Col Picquart into the
clutches Of the military authorities.
Col. Picquart then rose, and made a
statement which caused a sensation.
He said: "This is, perhaps, the last
time shall speak in public. I shall
sleep, perhaps, in the military prison
Of Cherche Midi. Therefore, I wish
ton declare that, if l. find there the
stfahgling cord Of Lemercier Picard or

The audience was intensely moved,
and shouted "Vive Picquart. 2"
The judges, however, after short
elaboration, decided to indefinitely
adjourn the case, and Col. Picquari
was led away between policemen.

KENT REPUBLICAN FIGHT.

unionists Reply TO the Proposition of tho
Regulars and Chairman Mensch of the
Regular Committee Makes u statement.
Recently the Regular Republicans of
Kent county nlhde u proposition to tho
Unionists in which the Regulars agreed
to support the Union county ticket
provided tho Regulars should be given
four places on tho Representative
ticket Tho Union county committee
replied TO tho Regulars as follows:
Dover, Sept. 10Th, 1898. To Clark
Mensch, chairman, and Isaac N. Mills,
member Of committee. Gentlemen /:
Az a full meeting Of the Union Repub-
lican committee and the Legislative
nominees of the Union Republican
party, we were directed to report to
you that your proposition for four
places on tho Representative ticket in
Kent county has been unanimously
rejected. Most respectfully yours,
George W. Marshall, chairman Thomas
| G. Moore, secretary"
After receiving the reply from tho
Unionists, Chairman Mensch of the
Regular committee made the following
statement:
1.-THE Regular Republicans of Kent
county after using every effort that
reason and justice could demand toward
having united Republican party in
Delaware are confronted with the fore
going ultimatum. All propositions of
harmony are now at an end and there
will be two Republican tickets in the
field. We are sorry that it could not be
otherwise, but forbearance has ceased
to be virtue. After sacrificing all
personal feelings in the interest of the
party by endorsing all the Union
nominees except the Senatorial and
Representative branch, we have re-
quested representation there for men
good and true, unpledged and loyal to
the best interests of tho Republican
party. Our request has been 'unani-
mously rejected and why? Because
they would not pledge themselves I'd
support Mr.. j. Edward Addicls, the
gentleman (?) who has done more To
debauch the voters in Delaware than
any other man; the gentleman (?) that
I caused Delaware to be without Re.
publican United States Senator when
l1he declared it shall be- Adlicks OF
nobody; whose money has appealed tc
'tho soft heads and itching palms Of
many men who today are his bench
men.
"We would invite comparison .oi
tho motives that governs the two
tickets and cali upon all citizens, re,
gardlcss of past affiliations, to ioin II;
| with their votes in Kidding Delaware
| forever of this unholy alliance Of g
party to man. G. NJ. Mensch.
