LAwLEss INSURGENTS.
Conhscating Property md Terroriz-
ing Citizens of ManzaniIIo.


SANTIAGO, Sept. 2S.-william Stake
man, before the war American consul
at Manzanillo, arrived here last night
and paid visit TO General Wood He
recounted many lawless acts on the
part of the insurgents, who, he declares,
demand tribute from every one, ter
rorize peaceful people and threaten the
confiscation Of the property of MGR
chants and planters. Many persons say
that the recognition Of the Cubans has
not been granted because the bandits
make work and progress impossible.
There is a general feeling Of alarm In
Manzanillo over the departure Of the
Spanish troops. and the American sol
diers are anxiously awaited.
General Wood has asked permission
from the Washington government to
appoint Demetrio Castillo special chief
of his Cuban staff to represent him in
dealing with the Cuban insurgents in
the country districts.
Senior. Rigney, one of the largest sug-
ar planters in Cuba, who has arrived
here from Manzanllo, reports the con-
ditions there to be worse than ever
The insurgents, he asserts, refuse to
grant permission for the carrying on Of
work on the plantations, and the Span
ish officials decline to furnish protec-
ton to those desiring to work. Senior
Rigney declares that since the cessa-
ton of hostilities the insurgents have
confscated his provisions and destroyed
number of valuable pictures.
The system of civil government es-
tablished by General Wood is prac-
tically complete and in good working
order. Major McCleary. formerly at
torney general for Texas and a Span
ish scholar, has been appointed mayor,
and the Spanish officials are giving
place TO Cubans. General Wood says
he does not known the capabilities of
the men taking Office, who are chosen
by committee of so prominent Gu
bans, whom he believes to be honest
and conscientious. This committee rec
ommends men whom its members think
would be efficient in the various offices
to be filled. The choice of men by the
committee must be unanimous and
must be made over the signatures of
the entire so members. General Wood
finds that the plan works admirably.
Lieutenant Blount has been appointed
to codify the Cuban laws.

MY rNcLE AND MY AUNT.

An ingenious French writer has been
explaining to a curious world why the
pawnbroklng establishments are called
my aunt" ((ma tante) The Prince de
JoiHville. son Of Louis Philippe, was kept
very short of money in his youth, one
day the father noticed that the prince
was not wearing a splendid gold watch
that had been given TO him by his mother.
Where is your watch?" asked the bour
geois king. AT my aunts," was the re-
ply. Princess Adelaide was Intercepted
on the subject, but she knew nothing
about il. Then the young scapegrace ad.
mitted that he had pawned II. My aunt"
therefore, became proverbial for the
Mont-de-Pete. But then, 1t may be asked,
how II comes about that the pawnbroker
I'm England is facetiously spoken OF as
uncle" because the French say "aunt."
Here in England everything goes by con-
traies. The French coachman drives on

English soldier a red coat; the Frenchman
eats an oyster out Of the hollow half OF

The Democrats at Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 2s.-Richard Gro
ker, David b. Hill and Edward Murphy
talked together for more than an hour
in this city yesterday, but last night
the delegates to the Democratic state
convention were as uncertain as ever
as to who would be nominated for gov
ernor. The leaders win meet again to-
day, and then more will be known.
Stanchfeld's chances seemed to be i'm
proving last night, and ID. Cady Her
rick was still prominent as a possible
candidate. Efforts were made by some
of the Tammany ofiiceholders to revive
the Van Wyck boom on the claim that
the rural counties demanded" the
mayor. Disinterested observers failed
to find this demand. In the selection
of Assemblyman George NJ. Palmer of
Schoharie for temporary chairman,
made by the state committee last night,
a point was scored by Hill, as Palmer is
a strong Hill man.

The Ferris Industrial School is a
most worthy institution, and the ma
ture of it's work makes 1t especially
deserving of public countenance and
support. That it needs more money
than can be readily raised by private
subscription is apparent TO those who
are acquainted with it's finances, and
we do not believe that any taxpayer
in New Castle county begrudged il the
appropriation which it received from
the county funds. When the new Con-
stitution went into effect one OF its
provisions was so interpreted as to lead
the Levy Court to refrain from making
any further appropriations OF public
funds to private corporations. To test
the soundness OF this Interpretation
the managers Of the school have be-
gun mandamus proceedings in the SUI
perior Court. We hope that the courts
decision viii be favorable to the insbl-
tuition, for the money paid to the schOo
in the past waswell expended. It is in nS
sense a mattsr of prejudice, but merely
one Of constitutional Interpretation.

celebrated the sixty-seventh anniver-
sary of their marriage at the home of
their only daughter and youngest child,
Mrs. Margaret A. Tull, No. 500 Monroe

Owing to the advanced age of MIR.
anc Mrs. Dayatt the celebration was
of a quiet nature, partalring more of
the nature of a family reunion. Their
children, grandchildren and eleven
great grandchildren. numbering about
bhirty-fve i'm all, spent the day with
the aged couple, having dinner and
supper with them. There was con-
siderable vocal and instrumental music

His wife lis remarkably vigorous, and
every morning sweeps thle pavement in
front of her home. Her hearing Is
very acute, and with her rosy com
plswion, SNOW white, abundant hair and
bright black eyes, SHE doesn't look any
where near her age. MIR. Dayatt is IN
POSSESSION of his second sight, and

OF the gold to pay the interest on
the debt
In 1916 the debt was sixty times
the annual product OF the money
metals. In 1873 the debt had
grown to be one hundred and
forty times the product OF the
money metals, and now, With gold
only as money, the debt is four
hundred times the value Of the
product OF money.
All this vast Indebtedness is
evidenced by some form OF paper
certificates. Ninety per cent Of it
is in the hands Of less than three
million people. Ten great bank
ing houses in Europe handle and
control over half OF 1t.
Hints have been dropped that

eco. Cold and silver were then
both moneys OF redemption, and
the supply was inefficient.
During the next thirty years
that is, until 1846-the production
OF the precious metals increased
120 per cent, while the debt in
creased in something like the
same proportion. During the next
five years the production OF gold
ouadru pied, whilst that Of silver
fell of 40 per cent. but the worlds
debt did not increase in proper
ton to the increase in gold and
silver.
Then it was proposed to demon
etize gold, there being nearly four
times as much gold produced as
there was of silver. This effort
failed to a great extent because
/ the United Stains refused to con-
slider the proposal.
The worlds indebtedness was
increasing, but so was the produc-
ton of gold and silver. Then a
systematic attempt was made TO
demonetize silver, and was con-
tinued until in 1873 it was accom-
pHshed. At that time the produc-
ton Of gold per year was 1925, 000,-
600, and Of silver $50, 100000. The
debts of the world we're $4,000,
