Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Collins re-
turned last week from visit to their
son Frank Collins, at White River
Junction, vt. Mr.. Collins is a practi-
cal electrician, and in charge of the
power house and water works, and is a
busy man. In getting there they
passed through Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire, but
he saw no place that looked like farm
ing like it does in Delaware. In fact
the query came up, how do the people
live? There is a good deal of timber
cut on the hills, which is floated down
to saw mills, and comes to us in boxes
for our canned goods. He found
freezing weather there, with the Their

Tn. Presidents Treaty.

The. address of Judge Day before the
Bar Association at Canton is a frank
statement of the conditions under which
the Paris Treaty was made. 1t appears
that the Commissioners were. in fact, the
representatives of the President, to whom
Judge Day gives the chief credit for
whatever is worthy OF commendation in
the treaty. Every important phase of
every question was decided by the FIRES
ident himself, who was in constant com
munication with the Commission. This
is the more interesting from the state
ment OF Judge Day that the Americans did
not merely announce their programme
and compel the spaniards to come to
their terms; but there was free and full
discussion of all the issues and an at
tempt 10 persuade the Spaniards by force
Of reason 10 eoncede the justice of the
American claims. Indeed. we are led to
believe that the Spanish presentation was
not without effect on the American de-
mands, although in the main they we're

1t is reported that the President will not
dpptd9 do an tilNBuS4dSNIC anu dBbIESSlfe
cxpansionist. On the contrary, his mes
sage. we are told will be colorless and
without phrase that can be used as a
proof OF his devotion to the policy ascribed
10 him. The senators who oppose the
ratification OF the treaty or who make
it the occasion for an assault on expan-
sion, may find in its merely perfunctory
sentences ground for asserting his per-
sonal indifference rs to the action OF Con-
gress in relation to the former Spanish
colonies now in our hands. Butethe ad-
dress of Judge Day is evidence that the
President is not only carrying out the
VIII of the people, but his own dear de-
sire. since it was due to his persistence
that We have gained absolute possession

NO RELIEF FOR CUBANS.
The Matter of Charity Supplies Needs
Iuyestirntfon,

Der "a. furnishes the Government with
charity supplies sent TO Cuba. The writer
declares that the food sent into the pro-

That went. according to the vice presl-
dent of the Junta Fomento which had 1T
in charge to the Cuban forces. Nothing
OF it went to any OF the three or four thoa-
sand sick and furnishing persons whom the
Americans found in Matanzas when they
landed yesterday. One does not know
whether such was the disposition Mr.
Gould directed to be made of it; he prob
ably left it TO the discretion of the junta,
whose president is the commander OF the
Matanzas Cubans. and whose vice pre5i
dent is the man who. during the war, was
their secret representative in this city.

as Colonel Roosevelt did in his suppressed
letter that the food they got was so fatty
and hearty that it was excellent-for the
Kiondike.
They endured much and they deserve
much from somebody in return; but it
hardly fits in with the Governments plan
OF reconstruction that they should receive
all the food that comes to Matanzas. That
plan is to give some aid to the soldiers,
and to help the people to start their fields
to producing again. They are TO be fed
while they are waiting for their crops to
ripen. The soldiers, however, are not
waiting for crops to ripen; they are still
in service. waiting to be paid and to be
satisfied that the United States is not try
ing to pilfer the Pearl OF the Antilles, and
they will not disband until some sett e.
ment comes Meanwhile the people WHO
should be nourished until able to till the
farms are dying from nothing to eat.
How fast they have been dying is set
forth in today's Ell Correo de Matanzas.
