Fined for Cruelty.

James 3agley and Michael Grey,
claiming to reside in Philadelphia,
are locked up in the Georgetown Jail

be patent medicine agents, had hired
a horse and wagon from Frederick P.
johnson, liveryman, of Georgetown,
for the purpose of going few miles
in the country. They drove to Lewes,
sixteen miles away, and when the
horse was located it was found that its
back was so badly cut by lashes from
a whip that it was covered with blood.
Magistrate Purnell imposed fine of

Politics In Kentucky.

The Republicans of Kentucky, who
held their State convention last week,
seem to be confident of electing both
their State and electoral tickets this
year. They declare that the abomin-
able character and the results of the
Goebel law have Disguised enough of
the people to insure the success of the
Republican party at the polls. Among
the results of the obnoxious legisla-
tion were the unseating of State of
ficers who received majority of the
popular vote and the killing of the man
whose name the law bears. No dis
interested and fair-minded man could
defend the Democratic Election law OF
Kentucky.

Need of Cuba.

The British Consul in Cuba has told
the world what our own representatives
on the island have told this country
many times, that the great need of the
island is an established form of Govern
ment. Until that is secured and a
stable form of currency provided, he
says complication and hopeless con-
fusion" must obtain, to the demoraliza-
tion of business and the prevention of
foreign capitalists from engaging in
enterprises such as would tend to de-
velop the resources of the island and
establish prosperity there.
The fault lies with Congress, and no
improvement can be looked for until
that body meets again, when, the era
of political activity being passed, it
may find time to attend to some of the
urgent business which it neglected dur
ing the last winter.

AN APRON WORTH $4,000.
Worked by Mary, Queen of Scots, While
Awaiting Her Doom at the Block.

There has recently come to light an
probably the most exquisite
example of neediework extant-that
busted the fingers of the helpless
Mary, Queen of Scots, during her
long imprisonment, and served to di-
vert her mind from her impending
doom at the block. The fallen SOW
ereign-all hope gone--centered her in
terest upon it during the latter part cf
her confinement, and created the mas
terpiece of needlework. Just before
her execution she secreted her priced
apron under the lining OF one of her
robes which kept her treasure safe
until recently the garment was ripped
apart. Its history has since been fully
authenticated through letters written
by the ill-starred Queen to friendly
ambassador at Paris who smuggled
the materials out of which it was
wrought into her dungeon. BY strange
chance the apron came into the possess
sion of an American, who has refused
$50, 900 for it, and has also declined
$4,000 for the privilege of unraveling a
single stitch to learn its secret, which
is a mystery to all the experts. It's
owner has consented, however, to it's
reproduction in large size in the June
Ladies' Home Journal.

GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
An Increase of InsectiverOus and Song Birds
In Maryland.

Since the legislature has passed
stringent laws protecting insectiverous
and song birds-thanks to the State
Game Association marked increase
in both classes of these native birds is
noticeable says the Centreville Record.
The number of robins, cat birds, tit
sparrows, wrens an / number of other
varieties nesting in the shade trees of
the town and in the hedges in the i'm
mediate vicinity seems to be greater
this year than for many years previous.
These native birds seems to have lost
their former fear of pugnacious Eng
lish sparrows,a a species of the feathered
tribe that never ought to have been
brought to this country. 1t was
purely a "fad'.' of todyism that intro
duced them. They have proven the
greatest pests of all the imported
feathered tribes. Like the people of
their native country they are aggres-
sive, greedy and grab for everything
in sight, especially to make war on
weaker species.

LIBERATION AND IMPERIALISM.
President Mckinley In a Speech Declares
Keynote Of Campaign.

President Mckinley swept into thin
air one loud pretense of the Kansas
City platformwhen IN his speech of
acceptance he declared in words that
set the keynote of the campaign: "The
Republican Party was dedicated to
freedom A years ago. 1t has been the
party of liberty and emancipation from
that hour; not of profession, but of
performance.
1t broke the shackles of 1900, 900
slaves and made them free, aud to the
party of Lincoln has come another su-
preme opportunity which it has bravely
met in the liberation of 100000 900 of
the human race from the yoke of i'm
perialsm.
Imperialism is and always has been
rule without law. The Republican
Party stands for liberty through law
1t replaced the lawless rule of the
stakeholder by the lawless privileges
of the freemen. 1t broke the arbitrary
imperial rule of Spain and established
sovereignty whose rule works by
and through law based on liberty.
Where law, is imperialism" cannot
be, and the whole fabric of American
rule is exercised through law. An
American President has no authority
but that which is conferred by law,
and he exercises none which laws can
not limit, regulate and restrain.
The war power under which Presi-
dent Mckinley acts to-day in the Phil
ippines is pr rescribed by law, and will
be ended by the law-making power
whenever it acts.
To charge ''imperialism" of such an
authority is to use words without
meaning, and to bring an accusation
without truth. The American flag did
not bring Imperialism to the Philip
pines. 1t established their liberty
through law. 1t has crushed the at
tempt of Aguinaldo to establish a rule
of his own, a sheer personal imperial
rule.
Once the sovereignty of law is estab-
lished in the Philippines and all else
will come in its train-peace, order
and freedom. The one obstacle which
exists there to all this is the resistance
fomented, encouraged and maintained
by the Kansas City platform and the
vain hope of its success next November.
When that platform is DEBATED peace
will came and the peaceful perform
ance by Congress and the Government
of all that is needed by "the rights, in
terests and conditions of the Philippine
people themselves. - YOnkers States

EFFORT TO HEAD OFF CORRUPTION.
II Is Good Thing But Ought to Have
Been Inaugurated Sooner.

The Daily Republican, of Whining
ton, has the following in referense to
the spasm of virtue that has struck our
State about the corruption of the bal
lot:
"The Democratic State Central Com
mittee which meet at Dover on Thurs
day, instructed its chairman to issue
call for a State Convention to be held
in September. Then that immaculate
committee issued an appeal to voters
of Delaware, which is most laughable
in the extreme when it is taken in con-
sideration what these self same Demo
Gratis inflicted on the Republican voters
for years in Delaware. They appear
to forgot that for years Republicans
were disfranchised and how they had
to lose time from work to get on the
assessment list, and even fight to secure
county tax receipts, and often the tax
receipts were given to them with their
names spelled wrong.
'The Chairman of this self same
committee was Chairman of the party
when this city was over run with spec
ial constables that cost the co unity
over fifteen thousand dollars. How
these self same county constables pre-
vented Republican voters from casting
their ballot by placing them under ar
rest on the most trivial offense. How
State banks were used by Democratic
officials, to raise money for election
purposes. But any man who has re-
sided in Delaware within the last 25
years does not have to be reminded of
any of the many inconsistencies that
keptDelaware from growing as it should
i'll wealth and population.
"NOw this same chairman has the
pie of Delaware calling upon them, ir-
respective of party to contribute to
fund to be used to run down frauds at
the coming election. 1t is proposed to
offer reward of $4,000, $4,000, $4,000
81, 900 and 81, 900 for information lead
ing to the arrest and covictiOn of the
first five cases respectively and $5OOfor
each of the next ten cases. What
would scme men not do in this State,
if they could earn any of the above re-
wards. If they did not have sufficient
evidence enough to convict they would
manufacture it.
What farce such show of virue
becomes when issued over the sigma
ture of the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. These
rewards will be for Republicans, for
nobody for one instant would think
that there will be any Democratic re-
peaters or ballot box suffers. Look
up the records of our courts"

SHORTAGE OF THE TEA CROP
Effect of the Chinese Outbreak on the Tea
Supply-A Rise of 20 Per Cent.

oupply-A RISe OF Z0 Per Cent.
The reported shortage of the tea
crop in japan may afford some reason
for an increase in the price of tea, but
the public will hardly believe that the
Boxer troubles in China warrant rise
OF per cent. in the quotations of that
commodity. Of course, a continued
disturbance in China extending over
the principal tea provinces would
threaten such a reduction in future
supplies as to make a moderate in
crease of prices fair business exped-
lent. However, there is no ground
for assuming that the rioters are to be
triumphant and that the war on for
eigners is TO spread and continue. At
present the Chinese Government is
not committed to the cause of Prince
Tuan, and may even decide to oppose
him with vigor.
The business of growing and dis
tributing tea is so organized that only
a considerable shortage in any coun-
try can have a marked effect on the
general supply. 1t has been practic-
able to draw an increased amount from
other sections to cover a deficiency in
a limited area. 1t is worthy of note that
the war between japan and China did
not cause a rise in the price of ten.
That conflict did not continue long
enough to make an impression on the
worlds supply. If the reported short
age in japan shall be found to be seri-
GUS, people will pay higher price with
out complaint; but if the threat Of an
increase in price of 90 per cent. be
based on the Boxer troubles in China
there will be loud protest from con-
sumers. .-PhiladelohiG Record.

PARIS EXPOSITION A FAILURE
REPORTS CURRENT THAT 1T is NOT A
FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
tiOns, 1t Has Been a Grab Game in
Exhibits and Concessions.

There is no longer any doubt that
the great Paris Exposition of 1900 is a
financial failure. Reports to this eff
feet were heard ON this side of the
water over a month ago, and later ad-
vices from correspondents on the
gronnd confirm the statment. 1t is a
matter of regret that this should be
the case, but those who organized,
constructed and are conducting the
Exposition have nobody to blame but
themselves for this results.
The development of fact in connec-
tion with the Exposition indicates that
it was organized with proper and
praiseworthy intentions, but as the
work progressed it became a gouge
game in the matter of contracts and a
grab game in exhibits and concessions.
The managers counted on tremen-
dous influx of tourists from the United
States and Great Britain, an anticipa-
tion which is not being realized. The
reason is apparent. Early visitors to
the Exposition from the United States
and England were appalled, at the ex-
orbitant demands of hotel keepers and
Exposition concessionairs. They re-
ported that extortion had reach point
never before known in connection with
an international exposition.
AS a result, the tide of travel Paris
ward, sensibly diminished. Thousands
of visitors who had contemplated a
European trip abroad in connection
with visit to the Exposition decided
to postpone their trip until next year,
or the year following, when rates for
hotel and other accommodations were
nearer normal. Transatlantic steam
ship lines were the first to feel the ef-
feet of this decreasing tide of travel.
Several of them arranged for cut in
cabin rates. 1t now looks as if the
usual fall reduction of transatlantic
fares will go into effect much sooner
than intended, with the hope Of stimu-
lating travel to the Exposition.
There is one other element which
was pointed out at the time as pros
pective impediment to the success of
the Paris Exposition, and that was the
hostile tone of the Partisan press toward
the United States and its attacks upon
England and the Queen. The latter
finally compelled the attention of the
French authorities and the exercise of
repressive and suppressive measures.
While it is not probable that these
causes have largely contributed to the
limited interest in and decreased at
tendance at the Exposition by Ameri-
can and British tourists, they have un-
doubtedly had their influence among
the ultra-patriotic people of both ma
tions. Americans particularly are slow
to forget the contemptuos treatment,
both open and covert, to which their
countrymen in Paris were subjected
during certain periods of the late
war with Spain.
