THERE is but little new in the Span
ish.Cuban matter this week. Congress
UNANIMOUSLY in both Houses appropriat-
ed $50, 900, 900 for the purposes of de-
fence and peace-for war if Spain sc
decides. The inquiry commission al
to the loss of the Maine has not yet re-
ported; the delay is favorable to peace
and is commendable since every houl
has been utilized to show the Spanish
authorities that the American people
are unit in upholding the Admins
tration, and Spain must settle ths
Cuban question without further un-
necessary delay. 1t was limited that
the recall of Consul Lee would be
agreeable to Spain but President Nc
Kinley's "no" was so emphatic tha
the hint was dropped. Gen. Lee is
able, courageous and patriotic-the right
man in the right place. War or peace
rests with Spain, as she may choose
Wheat in Spain is selling for $3.50

In our local columns will be found
q program Of the semi-annual exhibi-
tion Of the Middletown Academy forty
one years ago. It is suggestive of a
prosperous school with many students
attending from distance. Contrasted
With the Academy of to-day with its
Inferior facilities it is painful-painful
because the same funds which sustain
ed q school then exist now and for the
same purposes, and the children Of 1898
are entitled to the benefits which those
funds should give them. The TRAN
SCRIPT has but one object-the i'm
proVement of the schools, the use Of all
the means available for better school
facilities. Without prejudice or favor
the interests of the children and the
good OF the town demand an under
standing with the trustees OF the Acad.
emy. They hold funds intended for
one purpose-the education of the
youth Of Middletown. Those funds are
not being used for that purpose, not to
any appreciable extent. Why not? We
recognize the fact that differences Of
opinion may exist upon any subject but
nothing can be more suggestive Of the
present needs Of the Academy than the
contrast made by the program and con-
dition of the school forty years ago.

Yesterdays Milford "Chronicle"
brings the gratifying information that
Mr.. Chas. FL. Treat who for years car
rled on q large manufacturing business
10 Sussex county and In 1888 was the
standard bearer of the Republicans of
the State for Congress, making the
most active, the most thorough cam
paign ever made In Delaware, is being
pushed By his friends for the Internal
Revenue .Collectorship OF New York
City. The office is worth about, $4,000,
and every Republican in Delaware
who appreciate the campaigns of 1886,
temperance, and 1888 when the effec-
tive work was done which has since
brought political liberty in the New
Constitution, would be glad to see Mr.
Treat recognized. He is Chairman OF
the Campaign Committee OF the Re-
publican Clubs Of New York City and
q hardworker for Republicanism al
ways. We hope later to congratulate
Mr.. Treat and the Administration
upon his appointment.
The isChronicle" says "Mr. Treat
resurrected the Republican party OF
Delaware after the obnoxious disfranch-
ising laws Of 1873 had wrecked and
scattered its organization" adding ITO
the shame of Sussex county members
of the Legislature then chosen, Mr.
Treat was betrayed in the house OF his
friends and was turned down for Unit
ed States Senator for Delaware"

parties charged by the "Chronicle"i
Two Of the 'sChronicle's IS" closest pollt-
ical friends-David o. Moore and ]. e.
Addicks. Moore bolted the caucus 10
1889 swearing be would never vote
for Mr.. Treat and Addicks claims thai
he controlled his Moore's) vote the
next day. Addicks was there then tc
purchase seat in the Senate. The
ssChronicle'' has supported Moore since
as candidate for the Legislature not
withstanding his record and it has
supported Addicks though he is re-
sponsible for Kenney's being in the
Senate instead of a Republican, The
rChronicle'' should be ashamed of it'
acts and the acts of its friends. They
are the betrayers Of Delaware Repub
licanism.

The large cities Of the East have adopted
the plan and flags wave alike from the
humblest home to the most pretentious pub

Soldiers coming from other parts of the state

haps in the last moment before being hurried
to the front, will be cheered by the splendid
sight Of myriads of waving flags, speeding
them onward and giving silent promise of the
strength and support Of a nation united in a
just cause. The display cannot but stir the
fires of patriotism in other hearts, only await

In support Of the pan It Is pointed out that,

effect, the cost Of flags Is very small and
