1T must be borne in mind that the
past crop Of 1S9S-9s will sum up the
largest on record. It's possibilities, but
for the dreadful weather Of December.
January and February we're vastly
greater than the crop realized, and 1t
is from this vast possibility, which
now exists for this year also, that any
trihing loss from decreased acreage or
any subsequent deterioration must be
deducted.
We hope that his expectations will
be realized. for the welfare OF the
South is as essential to the growth OF
the nation as is the welfare of the
North. Cotton may no longer be
king, but a full crop is always desir-
able for the blessings which it brings

OUR NEW WORKHOUsE.

The selection by the board of trus-
tees OF the New Castle county work
house Of the Film farm. near Brandy
wine Springs. for a site for the in
stitution commends itself to public ap-
provai No better place could have
been secured. The trustees went about
the matter in a deliberate and pains
taking manner, inspected site after
site, and reached the conclusion that
the Finn farm offered all necessary
advantages. including fertile ground,
granite deposits, and easy access by
steam, electric and wagon roads. The
only fear now is that the appropria-
tion OF 100000 will be insufficient to
erect and properly equip the build
ings. Should such a state of affairs de-
velop we advise the trustees to have
plans prepared for a penal institution
commensurate with the needs OF the
county regardless of the cash in hand
and trust to the next General Assem-
bly, to authorize the issuing of more
bonds to supply the deficiency. It would
be shame to spoil a good thing by
scant plans and hasty completion
when, by pursuing the work on an ade-
ouate scale and impressing upon tn,
General Assembly the inadequacy ol
the fund in hand. good and lasting
work could be done.
There is another thing to consider il
this connection. It Will be but few

A SOUTHERN BLEss1NG.

From the South comes the encourag-
ing news that there viii be an enor-
nous cotton crop this year. It is esti-
mated that It will reach twelve mill
lion bales, a record unprecedented in
the annals Of cotton growing. This
means that large sums of money will
be in circulation in the Southern
states. and that many millions Of it
will find its way North, swelling the
volume of trade and increasing the
general prosperity.
A dispatch from New Orleans SAYS
that Henry NJ. Neill. a cotton crop ex-
pert Of that city. who predicted the
enormous crops Of 1S9S-94. 1Ss7-9s and
1S9S-99. is out with a forecast indi-
eating that the crops now maturing
viii exceed any Of these and may
reach the unprecedented total Of 12.-
600 900 bales. II II circular issued Mon
day ne said:

promise for the crop Of 1s9S-99 was

and the outlook. even with somewhat
unfavorable conditions thereafter. was
for a crop OF 10.500 900 bales assured.
with 100000 to 100000 more within
the range Of possibilities.
This crop turns out about II ,25O 600

CRYoL1TE FLEET ALL HERE.

HANSEN RETURNS TO !
FIND THAT HIS WIFE AND
CHILD DIED WHILE HE WAS
AWAY.
All the cryolite fleet of four vessels,
which on several occasions have been
overhauled at one of the local ship
yards in this city, have returned tol
Philadelphia, the Salina having enter
ed to-day.
Captain Hansen, who is well known
in this city, Is the only unfortunate
one in any Of the crews.
When he departed from New York
on May 26 for Ivigtut, Greenland, in
command Of the bark Salina, he left
in Philadelphia a wife and three chill
dren.
He had not been long at sea when
first his baby died; shortly afterward
his wife followed the little one to the
grave. When he reached the Della
ware Capes yesterday he obtained the
first knowledge of his double bereave-
ment. His vessel passed up from
Reedy Island at 415 o'clock in the af-
ternoon in tow Of the tug Juno, and
she arrived at Greenwich Point early
to-day, the stop over night being made
at the Marcus Hook quarantine. The
other two children, who have been
longing for their fathers return. have
been tenderly cared for by neighbors
since their mother died.
The Silicon, Captain Jensen, after a
voyage of thirty-two days, arrived on
Saturday, and yesterday afternoon the
Fluorlne, Captain Pahlsen, and Iodine
Captain Hillgrove. reached Greenwich
Point. These two latter vessels left
Ivigtut on July Z, while the Salina sail
ed one day before that date.
The time taken by these vessels in
making the voyage is considered re.
markably good in view OF the many
days 1t took them in previous years
The speedy voyages are ascribed tC
the comparatively small amount Of
ice encountered this year, strong
northerly winds having driven it t
the shores of Davis straits. In pre-
vious years some Of the vessels OF tn,
| feet made more than one voyage, bu
this season only one will be undertake

they started for the icy regions. Theil
departure had been delayed by the Sc
we're winter that was experienced il
Greenland. AS was told by Captain
Jensen, Of the Silicon, when she ar
| rived, many Esquimos died OF hunge
and from the intense cold.
