GOOD RECEIPTS
Aud Sales Considerably Heavier
Than Last Week.
Loose Tobacco Coming In Freely
And This Branch of Bust
ness Quite Active.

Sales Of tobacco this week
amounted to 90 hogsheads and
sales for the year l25 hogsheads.
The sales were made up entirely
of old stock and prices obtained
were very satisfactory. Quotations
remain unchanged. Receipts for
the week, 275 hogsheads. and for
the year 1255 hogsheads.
The market is steady, with but
little very fine leaf showing up, as
yet,
Loose tobacco is coming in freely
and this branch Of the business is
decidedly more active than for some
time. The weed has been in good
order for handling for ten DAYS or
more and loose receipts each day
have been heavy. On account OF
the bad condition of the country
roads, many farmers have been un.
able to move their crops, but an
improvement of the highways will
have tendency to cause a rush in
delivery and greater activity in
the tobacco business in all its
branches.

CUBAN ANNEX ALTON.

Senator Eikins agitation for the an
nexation Of Cuba is premature. Even
II it does not suggest annexation in an
offensive way" but merely invites Gu
ba 10 take the initiative, It is out of
order. Cuba has just started on her
independent career There is no sign
that the Cubans are respondent about
the outcome. on the contrary, they
are hopeful believing IN the future Of
their island. They should be encourag-
cd to work out their own salvation. H.
after years Of honest effort they find
II impossible to prosper on the basis OF
Independence; or II they become con-
WINGED that their place Is under the
Stars and Stripes, then II is time TO
consider whether they can be invited
TO come into the American Union. To
agitate for annexation now Is about as
consistent as 1t would be to invite Mexi-
co. for instance, TO Join us as a state.
The senator's arguments for Cuban
annexation are far from convincing.
Patriotic statesmen, he says have
favored it. and annexation would be In
the interest OF both countries. So might
me annexation Of Mexico and Canada
he. and we believe some states
men have been In favor OF
such expansion, too. But that would
not justify a senate resolution for the
annexation Of either If the facts that
the absorption OF Il smaller country By
a larger might be for mutual interest,
could be urged in favor Of annexation,
then no small country on earth would
be safe any longer Germany would be
justified In annexing Denmark, Ilol-
land and Switzerland France won d
have sufficient ground for taking Ee'-
GUM. Mexico might as well have de-
signs on Cuba for Cuban annexation
might be Of interest TO those two coun-
tries.
In all probability Cuta's ultimate des-
tiny Is to be transformed into a sta e
OF our Union, But that must come
about through the efforts Of the Cubans
themselves, whenever they find that
such union would best serve the inter-
ests OF the people. The initiative can
not at this time, in good taste. be taken
by our senate Having given The people
independence, one day, we cannot de-
prlve them OF II the next.

THE MORRISON CASE.


The findings In the Morrison Snow
case, as published in the News ON
Saturday are in perfect accord with
what has been anticipated In the mat
ter The allegations OF the defendant
set forth in his answer against Judge
Bartch the court declares 70 be false,
and not sustained by any proofs The
court holds that they are scandalous
and malicious, and consequently orders
them stricken from the files and rec
ords.
The case has attracted wide atten-
ton, 1t is said to be the first on record,
IN this state at least, In which a third
party has been dragged into litigation
with which he had no connection what
ever, and forced to defend himself
against malicious allegations. and the
fact that the party accused is a member
OF the highest judicial tribunal Of the
state, makes it'all the more prominent,
There should be some redress for the
wrong perpetrated. Unless there Is, no
citizen can be safe, He may at any
time be put to the annoyance and ex-
pense Of defending himself against ma
llclous and scandalous charges. All an
enemy has to do Is to make the charg-
es. He needs no proofs no evidence
There should be adequate punishment
for persons who make attacks on 9TH
ers without clear facts to base them on
And esoecially should the honor Of pub
lie men be guarded against unwarrant-
ed assaults

DEWEY EXPLAINS.

The testimony Of Admiral Dewey be-
fore the senate committee established
the important fact that the admiral at
no time recognized Aguinaldo as an
ally" of the United States, and that
at no time were the American forces in
need Of the assistance Of the Fillpinos.
That answers the charge that our gov
eminent conquered Spain with the aid
Of the natives and then turned against
our allies.
Admiral Dewey made II clear that
the naval battle of Cayite settled the
question Of supremacy over the Philip
pines. Manila woulH have surrendered
at once, but the Spanish commander
thought II more in accord with his idea
Of military honor, to have an oppor-
tunlty Of firing few shots before
hauling down the Spanish flag. and
Admiral Dewey humored him. The bat
tie Of Manila, then was merely sham.
The Fllipinos were not needed to gain
It. That is a most remarkable piece OF
war history
The important point OF the testimony
is, however, that Agulnaldo never init
mated that his ambition was TO set up
a separate government, until July Is.
and that the admiral when notified
that such was the case, paid very little
attention TO IT, That fact has an i'm
portant bearing upon our relations to
the islanders, our representatives did
not place the country under any obli-
cations TO the Fillpinos. They left our
government to pursue the course the
best interests of all may dictate. At
the same time little more light may
be needed on that sham battle OF
Manila 1t is not entirely clear that
an American commander was under OBJ
legation to "1sill few people for the
purpose Of saving Spanish honor.

1t is a national body and representa-
tive of the Nation, and what II does or
what Is there DONE is credited to me
American people by the world. Tnat
one senator should violently attack
fellow senator Is for him to descend
from lofty position, calling for the
exercise Of calm Judgment and the ex'
ercse Of the wisdom that comes from
age and experience, to the level Of the
street brawler.
II is not at all likely that anything
will be done In the present case so FAR
