1t is asserted that liquid air has
twenty times the explosive force of
dynamite. During experiments at
Vicnna, in the firing of cannon, the
liquid air was exploded by an electric
spark, and the results were extremely
satisfactory. No heat was developed
in the guns, and the range of the pro-
jectileS was much increased.

Congressman Hay as Leader.

Democrats of the South Atlantic
coast are talking of James Hay, Of
Virginia, as the right man to succeed
Joseph Bailey as minority leader in
the next House. The Virginian's
success as legislator in the Fifty
fifth Congress has been notable. AL
though an untried man, his work Oh
the military affairs committee, was of
an excellent order and attracted the
favorable attention of all parties in
the House and Senate. He proved
himself man OF practical ideas and
Knew not only how to express them
in debate on the floor, but also how
10 formulate them in legislation. he
has never been radical in his views
regarding, legislative policies, and

themselves on record during the sec

Can a Married Woman Claim Home
stead Exemption.

The case of in re Marion Richard
sou, bankrupt, now pending in the
United States District Court in this
city, is attracting the attention OF
lawyers by reason of one or two
novel questions involved.
Mrs. Richardson is q married woman.
Her husband is still living. She
schedules her realty as worth $500,
and her personality as worth $500.
She claims. however, the benefit of
the homestead exemption law, which
permits her to retain $1,000 worth of
property.
Her creditors contend that she can
not, as a married woman, take ad-
vantage of the exemption allowed by
lew The statute says such exemp-
ton may be claimed by "house-
holder, or head of a family" TIE
courts have decided that the words
are Synonymous. 1t is argued that
Mr.. Richardson, and not Mrs. Rich
ardson, is the head of the family, and
that she cannot receive the benefit of
the exemption law.-Richmond Dis
patch, 18th.

The Worcester Democrat is the
name of a newspaper now being pub
llshed at Pocomoke city with Sam'l.
nj. Crockett as editor and owner. Its
name indicates 1.-THE faith that is in
him" and it is safe to predict, that the
cause of democracy will not suffer at
his hands when he is called upon to
speak out for it. The copies received
at this Office show that it will be
newsy and alive to the best interests
of the people whose support it asks.
1t will deserve the liberal patronage
of the enterprising town in which it
is published and this together with
the support it will receive from many
other points in Maryland and Vir-
ginia doubtless will insure it's sue
cess. We extend best wishes and
welcome it to our exchange list.

SATURDAY, MARCH IS, 1899.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. g., Va, IS second-class matter.

The advices from the Philippines
are to the effect, that in the further
ance of our humane schemes towards
the Filipinos, we are Strengthening
them by the hundreds daily and
scores of our troops are being killed,
wounded and invaded" daily by
them. That the war is likely to con-
tinue with similar results for an in
definite period seems to be equally
certain if the news received from the
Philippines may be accepted as cor
rect. That it is to be fight to
finish seems to be hardly questioned
now and the end no one can foresee,
nor can anyone compute the loss OF
life and the money to be expended,
before it closes. 1t is, of course, a
matter of no consequence to the pres
ent administration, if our soldiers,
sent on their mission of mercy to the
far distant Islands, cause their rivers
to flow with the blood of their peo-
pie and their jungles to be whitened
with their bones. Humanity OF
course demands, that if they will not
accept our higher civilization and
submit to our authority, that we kill
them. That the Filipinos are so IN
grateful as to shoot back and kill
some of our citizens, doubtless, too
occasions no little surprise to the
powers-that-be in the Capitol City
of the country. What right have they,
in fact, to kill troops representing
1.-THE best government the world ever
saw? 1t is true, that we accepted
them as allies in our fight with Spain
and deceived them as to our in
tention regarding the Philippines.
It is true, that we promised them
protection against all the world and
led them to believe that they with
the oppressed in every land could
find it under our flag. 1t is true that
we promised them government CT
their own, with the right to the en-
joy1nent of life, liberty and property
according to their own views. But
was not the right reserved to apply
the torch to their ha citations and to
slaughter them at our pleasure II
such civilizing methods were
necessary? So answers, at least,
Mckinley in the affirmative, and
Mckinley is great even if Hanna does
own him, and must be obeyed,
though every Filipino has to be sacri-
feed and whatever the cost OF treas
ure and blood to this country. Even
though the boosted policy OF 'benevo
lent assimilation of the Executive OF
this country means the determination
if the Filipinos does not destiny
point him that way and who Cab
restrain him? No Ole can perhaps,
except Hanna and he wont. The peo-
pie may, though, in righteous in
dignation when an opportunity is
presented to them again to speak at
the polls, do so. and hurl from power
man who has shown such an utter
disregard of the limitations placed
upon his authority by the constitu-
ticn and who has views in regard to
expansion and imperialism, not only
out of harmony with those of the
founders of our government but of
the statesmen of the present day,
whatever their political affiliations.
The people ought at least be able
to see by that time the duty,
which they owe to themselves and
their country demands of them.

The British steamship Slyviana,
Captain War;, which sailed from
Newport News this week for London,
carried, it is claimed, the largest
cargo of flour ever shipped from an
American port on one ship. In the
vessels hold were $1,000 barrels OF
flour, and in addition to this were
2,OOO,O 0G, pounds of cornmeal. Since
the big steamship Samoa sailed from
Newport News some time ago with
$4,000 barrels OF flour in her hold
Newport News has had the record
for the largest flour shipment, but
the Slyviana's cargo smashes even
that record.
