The present unusual summer is not
quite precedented, according to the
East Wilmington correspondent of the

which was so cold and wet there was
scarcely any corn grown. and what did
ripen was sold the next spring for seed
at 81 per bushel Transportation was
then difficult and there was no Great
West to fall back on for supplies as
there is now-otherwise we might see
that price prevail here next spring.

their Vaccinations for the discontinue of

The Withdrawal From Cuba.

II was highly excited old lady who APP
peared at the window of paying teller on
one occasion and demanded to know If the
bank had her money. There had been
runor on the street that the institution was
a little shaky. The bank official assured
the old lady that both her money and the
bank were safe. Wen. let me know the
truth" she replied. III you've got the
money ] don't want it. If you haven't got
1t. | must have it Immediately"
1t pleased some people for a while to pre-
diet that the American troops would never
be withdrawn from Cuba; that the Ameri-
can flag was up to stay; that some excuse
would be found for cance1ing the Teller rese-
luton. This made the more dstrustful
Cu5ans very uneasy, and they began to
cllmor for an early ending of our trustee
ship In the spirit Of the old lady at the
bank if We didn't intend to go at all they
wanted us 10 go Immediately. Assurances,
however were forthcoming that the United
States would keep faith. and the Cubans
were Modified. Now that we are on the
eve of departure they regret to lose us In
his latest letter to The Star from Cuba MIR.
Pepper mentions this feeling and speaks of
the very favorable impression made by
American officers upon the people whose
affairs they have been managing. The as
ISOLATION has been pleasant for both sides.
The Americans have had good field for
the exercise of their administrative talents,
and the Cubans, with the results before
them. appreciate what has been accom-
plished in their behalf.
The record. upon the whole, is eminent!y
creditabIe to the men who have made 1t,
They have wrought under many difficulties,
and for Il time under some very vicious
criticism INDUCED in here at home. When
the postal frauds were uncovered at Ha-
vana, the charge was freely made that a
perfect riot Of corruption was in progress
in Cuba and that the American name in
the island would soon be covered with in
fanny. The campaign of 1890 was coming
on. and there was expectation in some
quarters that the presidential election
might turn on the rascality of the trio
which the administration itself had ex-
posed. Those who cherished this hope did
what they could to increase the bad feeling
that had been aroused. and with that object
In view despatched everybody in commits
sion in Cuba with the grossest insinuatlons.
The end. however, is approaching, with
signal honor for those who have filled the
important posts, and with the Cubans re-
Iuctant to sever ties so pleasant. Their
feelings are as creditable TO themselves as
To those who have aroused them.

Hill Replies to Bryan.

Mr. Bryan has recently been criticiSing
Mr. HILL and now MIR. Hill criticises Mr.
Bryan. Turn about Is fair play, and, in
cidentaliy, in this case, fair for the multi
tude. .,.-s~ ,.- ..-...
Mr. Bryan regards Mr.. Hill as being little
better than republican. He wonders at
Mr. Hills assurance in still desiring to
keep company with democrats. Why does
he not go over to the party whose poll
cies he favors, and whose ends he indi-
rectly serves? Mr.. Bryan remembers 1896.
when Mr.. Hill sulked, and 1900, when the
New Yorker had the effrontery to offer ad-
vice on the subject of the platform.
Mr. Hill replies in the neat form of placing
in contrast the first leader of the demOc-
racy and the latest. He does not name the
latest. but in thinning the first he indicates
him, as he appraises him, most unmistak-
ably. Here is the first leader, as Mr. Hill
drew the likeness at the Democratic Club in
New York last night:
Jefferson was courageous, and yet at the
same time a safe and conservative states
man. He almost invariably said the right
thing-the prudent thing-the wise thing. He
never stopped over Besides, he won his
political battles. He appealed to the intelli-
gence of the peOple-to their sense of right
and justice, and not to their ignorance or
arguments or temporary expedients. He
listened patiently to the opinions of party
friends, always giving them respectful and
thoughtful consideration, and after mature
elaboration, he marked out the true course,
and thereafter he never fluctuated, nor lin
gered. nor stopped, nor swerved. He was
always dignified and cautious-in fact, an
ideal American gentleman.
Mr.. Bryan. then, as Mr.. Hill sees him, is
not a safe and conservative statesman. He
does not say the wise or the prudent thing.
He Stops over. He appeals, not to the in
telligence of the people. but to their ignor
ance and prejudices. He deals in shallow
arguments. and employs temporary expe-
dents. Had Mr.. jefferson been at Lincoln,
Neb., in the summer of 1900 awaiting re-
nomination for the presidency, when dis
tinguished party leader and worker had
taken the trouble to travel all the way from
New York a pivotal state, for a confer
ence as to the platform, he would have
given his visitors suggestions respectful
and thoughtful consideration" What Mr.
Bryan gave them we all know. He gave
them the bounce" Mr.. Hill had his labor
for his pains. When he arrived at Kansas
City he found the national convention al
ready practically instructed to indorse the
Chicago platform, and to let him with his
ilolloHS go HdHS. <tiiu, lastly, MI JeueTSOu
was IAN ideal American gentleman"
Here now is what the sages call food
for thought" Last nights dinner had har-
mony for its object. The democrats of
New York. as elsewhere throughout the
country. are trying to get together, Mr.
Hill is suggested the leader of the re-
united party. But does this sort of talk
chord with Hill and harmony" Does it
rot suggest rather Hill and Hades? The
next issue of the Commoner will probably
be an interesting publication.
