Our esteemed contemporary, the In

new uniform in its Fourth of July
issue. Its old, but graceful if slightly
antiquated typographical outfit will be
exchanged for one more in consonance
with modern tastes and ideas. This
and all it's succeeding issues will be
in size and general appearance similar
to Scribner's magazine. The excellent
religious, social and literary tone Of
the paper will remain the same and it's
price will be reduced from ten cents

The Chicago newspaper proprietors
say they are actually making money
out of the strike which suspends the
publication of their papers. Probably
this is so. Times are dull, and a war
circulation does not necessarily bring
larger advertising clientage, If a
larger revenue, although it adds enor-
mously to the expenses of the office.
The fact of a paper suspending it's
publication fer day or two together
makes a disagreeable hiatus, and it i5
one which the conductors of newspa-
pers would not willingly incur, except
when driven to extremities as in Chi
cago.

Not a Fair Prediction.

The war correspondent of the Tor
onto Globe. who is with the army at
Santiago, writing of the hosting OF
the first American flag on Cuban soil,
closes his letter with the prophecy:
THAT flag will never be taken down"
Events now unforeseen may make this
prediction true but at this time the
Globe correspondent has no right to
make such an assertion. Although Of
fered in friendly spirit it amounts to
a reflection upon the honor and good
faith of the American nation; it is
equivalent to charging them with low
deceit There are men, here and there,
whose sense of national honor is suf-
ficiently sordid to cause them to ap-
plaud "forcible annexation" which by
our code, as President Mckinley said
would be criminal aggression" but
these comprise a small minority of our
total population. The moral natures
of the majority are not diseased.
The contingency under which the
American flag will not be taken down
in Cuba is formal application by
the people of Cuba for it's continuance,
proffered by them voluntarily in fur
therance of the belief either that stable
government without American protec-
tion would not be feasible or that,
although feasible, greater advantages
TO themselves would come from iden-
tification with the superior power,
prestige and resources of the United
States. In such contingency we
could keep our flag UP without stulti-
fication, dishonor or fair imputation
upon our motives. But no such contin-
gency can be regarded as certain until
it appears. Until then, let no man
forget that this is a war primarily for
Cuban independence.

ALHO ST A RIOT IN WILSON,
NORTH CAROLINA.

The cheering of the victorious
whites over their recent glorious vic
tories was brought to an abrupt close
on Wednesday at 4.30, when, sudden
ly, the preconcerted danger signal
pealed forth.
1t seemed that an alteration arose
between Mr.. John l.. Hare and a
negro, which resulted i'll Mr. Hare
being knocked down with chair. As
soon as the blow was struck, the negro
fled, holly pursued by a policeman,
keeping up \ fusilade as he ran. The
negro was quickly joined by mum Der

deadly Winchester, hurrying toward
the rendezvous. The tension was in
creased by the report that the negroes
armed and in force, were moving upon
the town by way of the back streets.
Those first upon the scene added to
the confusion and made painful the
tension by discharging several shots
in quick succession to hurry their
slower companions to their posts.
Almost before those not understand
ing the Signals could rea!iz9 what had
taken place, two hundred men, under
the leadership of Captain S. II. Bob
Uitt, had formed and W 5 proceeding

two hundred armed citizens, wasstand

fugitive had taken refuge, demand

appeared as il by magic, and with

After making circuit through the

SHOPPING in ITALY.
OutIundish Methods That Make 1t -
Most TircSumc Tusf4.

hOSt lIfeSuLlC. InSL-
4 source OF trial is what appears to
Us the out!audiSl method OF having
things that apparently belong together
sold i'll different establishments. Silks
are found i'll one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons III third. Al none
of these cali one bay needles and thread.
If woman wishes to hang Il pair of
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
ent place, the iron fixtures at third
and has to go to fourth to find an up
holsterer to put them up. She must
visit IA tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with us, vegetables, fruit or
bread at Il 2rocer's. 1t may thus readily
be seen that one must travel a good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, Il
meter exceeding a yard and pound
containing but IL ounces, and faint
idea may be formed of the mental COM
plicatiOns of the traveller.
There is also a certain amount of
beating down TO be done i'll nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar
gaining the purchaser cherishes awful
doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping Is really
almost equal to the contemplation of
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
tone, and it is hard to say which has
