The Presidents Message.


Washington, April 1.-THE president
congress:
Obedient to that precept of the con-
stitutlon which commands the president
to give, from time to time, to the mem
bers of congress information concerning
the state of the union and recommend
to their consideration such measures as
he will Judge necessary and expedient,
it becomes my duty now to address you
today with regard to the grave condi-
ton that has arisen in the relation Of
the United States to Spain by reason of
Il warfare that for more than three
years has ragged in the neighboring
island of Cuba. do so because of the
intimate connection of the Cuban queS-
tion with athe state of our own union,
and the grave relations of the course
which is now incumbent upon this ma
ton to adopt, must needs bear to the
traditional policy of our government, If
it is to accord with the precepts laid
down by the founders of the republic
and religiously observed by the succeed
ing administrations to the present day.
The present revolution is but sue

which have occurred in Cuba against
the dominion of Spain and extending
over period of nearly half century,
each of which, during its progress has
subjected the United States to great
effort and expense in enforcing it's
neutrality laws, caused enormous losses
to American trade and commerce, caused

Ravaged by Fire and sword
Since the present revolution began in
February, 1895, this country has seen a
fertile domain at our very threshold
ravaged by fire and sword in the course
of a struggle unequalled in the history of
the island, and rarely paralleled as to the
number Of combatants and bitterness Of
contest by any revolution of modern

Washington, April l1.--Undaunted by
the disappointment of last Wednesday,
a multitude again besieged the capitol
this morning before the doors were
opened. Many camped out on the
marble terraces all night. The scene
in the house was memorable. as the eye
swept the galleries and the animated
group of members on the floor below,
but there was less hubbub and evidence
of excitement than on last Wednesday.
Senate galleries were crowded at 1890.

Hawaii's odd Debt Law.

Washington Post ain Hawaii
they have one very unique custom in
regard to debt" said Mr.. o. W. Stur-
gis of Oregon. at the Ebbitt House.
"Any stranger can get credit almost
from the time he sets foot on the
islands. but so long as he owes a dol
lar he is not permitted to leave the
country. A man who gets hopelessly
involved in debt down there had as
well make up his mind to becoming a
citizen for the rest OF his life-he can
only escape by liquidating. This law
has always been strictly enforced, but
in the event of annexation to the
United States the islands may get a
new system of laws that will repeal
the existing statutes"

Shortly after the Manila battle Ad-
miral Dewey gave his conclusions Of
the lessons taught by his victory to
ex-Minister Barratt Of Siam. Briefly,
they were as:follows: The first was that
good guns and accurate marksman-
ship were the first essentials. Com
bats" he said. 'aie decided more by
skill in gunnery and the quality Of the
guns than by all else. Torpedoes and
other appliances are good in their
way, but are entirely Of secondary inn
portance. The Spaniards were equal
to US in gun power, but they were un-
able to harm US because OF bad gun
merry"
The second lesson taught by the
Manila engagement, he thinks. is the
value Of high grade men behind the
guns. "Cheap men," he adds, "are
not wanted, are not needed, are a loss
to the United States navy. 1t will
not do to have able officers and poor
men. We must have the best men
filling all posts on ship board"
The third lesson of the battle at Ma
Mia teaches the necessity Of inspec-
ton, concluded Admiral Dewey.
Everything to be used in BATTLE" he
says, "should be inspected by naval
officials. Then there will be no failure
at crisis. Everything the Spanish
had was supplied by contract. Their
shells, their powder, all their materi-
ais were practically worthless, while
ours were perfect"
That is perfect ships, perfect guns,
perfect ammunition and perfect men
are the essentials. He does not be.
lieve in "cheap men," In other
words, it is brain that rules in fighting
the worlds battles on land and sea, in
peace and war.

LET FRISCO LEND HER AID.

The San Francisco Post recommends
that the State Of Nevada issue bonds 10
establish big pumping plants ct both
ends Of the Comstock lode and sink @
shaft or shafts to the depth Of 1900 feet.
II would doubtless be good scheme
for the Comstock. says the Reno Journal,
but the mine owners in Eureka, Lander,
White Pine. Elko, Lincoln and other
counties would expect the same kind oi
consideration. The Gold Creek Com
psny would want bonds issued to enable
ID 10 build more reservoirs. The COW
counties would want bonds issued to pro-
vide for irrigation canals and the farmers
in various parts Of the State would want
bonds issued 10 help them life the mort.
cages from tceir ranches and 90 on with
the butcher and baker and csndlestick
maker.
Bond issues are good in their place,
but it is hardly probable that Nevada
will shoulder any Indebtedness to keep
San Francisco out Of the sump. Nevada
has contributed her share to the Bay
city. Mortgage some Of her big build
ings built with Comstock money and
help the old lode out and San Francisco
will not lose anything in the venture.

company is sadly in need of at this
time. With the erection of a mill,
thoroughly equipped to reduce the ore
of these mines to bullion, old Cherry
Creek will boom as it did in days gone

What a Texas Man Uses.

A farmer in Texas not many miles
from Ell Paso sat down with his family
to breakfast. They occupied chairs made
in Indiana, the table was made in st.
Louis, the dishes were manufactured in
New York, the knives, forks and spoons
were imported from England, the bis
cults were made of flour from Kansas,
shortened with lard from Missouri,
cooked on a stove made in Chicago, and
his Java coffee was served with sugar
from Louisiana and Jersey cream. When
breakfast was over he drove to town III
a wagon made in Ohio, while his son
went out with $40 gun made in Penn
sylyania, loaded with shells made in
Delaware, and an imported $40 dog to
kill five-cent, birds for dinner. Ills
daughter went riding on $75 bicycle
made in Massachusetts. His wife swept
the floor with a broom from Cincinnati,
took UP the dust in a pan made in Yer.
mont, with brush made in Rhode Isl
and. The farmer bought plow made
in Illinois, a acultiyator made in Michl.
gan, hoes and rakes made in Indiana,
and reaper made in Chicago. He took
these home and set them out on a va,
cant lot, exposed to the, rain and sun
shine, where they were ruined in one
year. That farmer is always complaining

RAFFLE SWINDLERS.
Season Opening When the People
Here are Made Victims of These
Well.knCwn Fellows.

Just as regular as the Thanksgiving
and holiday season opens does the bogus
ticket or rattle swindler begin operations.
Despite the numerous arrests and con-
victions every year, the same old game
is worked successfully, and in many
cases rich harvests are reaped among The
unsuspecting.
This seasons opening finds the same
thing again, and reports are coming In
to City Hall by people who have been
swindled out of various sums OF money
by clever sharpers.
The most famous Wilmington charac-
ters who are especially proficient in this
system of swindling by use OF bogus
tickets arc Schooner" Long and Mike
Carney. Both have frequently been ar.
rested and convicted on the charge of
being "workers" of this type OF swlnd-
ling.
Although bogus tickets for ball to be
given under the auspices OF some associa-
ton, have been circulated in the
city, the most frequent method of
ticket swinding here is by means OF the
rattle ticket.
The name of place is given on the
rattle ticket but there is no ratfling match
at that place. Saloonkeepers get caught,
perhaps, more than anyone else. They
purchase from one to ten. Different
stories are told by seller as to who was
to be benefited by the rattle.
One city official says: ''It will be the
same old thing again this season. The
game is worked time and time again
an as fast as we break up one gang an
other starts up business again"

Mr.. Wolf has developed talent for
art and design work, especially in the
matter OF cuts for calendars, programs
