MI, SAMUEL Townsend in writing to

Democratic party against any change of
the rules governing the Democratic
party in this county, if Appoquinimink

Democracy. Neither does he expect
success il Senator Bayard is nominated
for the Presidency. In concluding his
letter he says; differ with this clam
or for presenting Delaware candidate
for President, but, if he is nominated
will vote for him, and go down with
the rest of you. We have fought many
a battle in sunshine and storm. can

been misconstrued as personal, which
was lot the case. In my lifetime

NOTWITHSTANDING THE fact that striI
gent laws have been passed in nearly
all the States regulating the sale ol
oleomargsrine, and requiring it to be
labelled SO that purchasers may know
. what they are buying, We have the
astounding intelligence that one Lun.
dred million pounds have been sold in
this country since the manufacture of
that commodity began, and the fact
that the article has not figured to any
extent, if al all, in market quotations,
is well calculated TO inspire alarm in
view Of the possible extent to which
food adulteration is carried. There is
perhaps reasonable argument that oleo-
margarine is nutritiye and a good sub
stitute for butter-indeed it requires
the keenest perception to discern it
from butter-but the great complaint is
that it is sold elandestinely and in de-
fiance of Law as real butter. The sub
terfuges and disreputable methods used
to force this bogus butter upon the
community stamps the whole business
as bold and gross imposition. The
objection made by the oleomargarine
dealers to the law which prohibits
them from forcing it upon the people
as the genuine pEoluc. of the airy
is a piece Of unparalleled impu nee.
The law which eompels the manufac
turers to designate it as oletmargarine
is eminsnt!y righ: and proper and
should be strictly enforced. |: is said
that large quantities OF oleomargarine
are sold in this city for lutter the law
requiring it to be labelled being en-
tirely disregarded. There can be no
objection to any body using oleomarga.
rine who prefer it to real butter, but
those who sell it should not be allowed
to practice an imposition on the people
with impunity. The only way to put
an end to this deception would be for
purchasers Of butter to be sure and not
buy unless they are fully convinced
that they are getting what they ask
for.

seen on our streets on Wednesday after
noon. in practical use, and was the object
of considerable interest to a number OF
persons. Tue principle..ef the audiphone
has been explained fully in other places.
suffice ii to say the instrument in question
is somewhat like fan and when the edge
is placed between the,teeth, deaf person

gentleman who had the deutiphone, stated
he had been in the habit of using an. ear

charged for dentiphone according to
quality, and this certainly appears high
for the cost Of the material, and workman

the high price. The invention is manifest

TALON will hold an encampment conGsa1ac
ing Aug. Both and lasting four days. The
place of holding the camp viii be Offer
mans Island. and it is expected that
other companies outside the battalion will
be present. 1t is the intention of this
camp to enforce the most rigid discipline,
and during the days of camp, the regular
routine of duty will be enforced which
prevails in regular service. This was the
rule at Springfield. last year. and the
conn anies of the command were much
benefited thereby.
It is so arranged that the expense will
be comparatively light. while tents. etc.,
will be furnished by the state, the only
expense being freight ON the same both
ways to and from Springfield.

the matter at an early day, and decide
upon the number who will attend from the

Davenport is Mad.

The Davenport Democrat is mad-in
fact all Davenport Is mad because Des-
MONIES shows up larger population than
any other city in the state of Iowa. The
Democrat let's loose as follows:-
1T required three weeks longer time
to take the census of Dubuque and Des-
Moines than il did to enumerate the
entire population of either Chicago. st.
Louis, Cincinnati Brooklyn or New York.
There is no doubt that the enumeration OF
Dubuque is fraud by as least 1900 to
1000 names, and that the census of Des
Moines has been "doctored" up TO large
extent. The evidence of census frauds in
both cities has been privately collected
forwarded to the department of the in
terror. Certain enumerators in Des
Moines and Dubuque have deliberately
committed perjury"

A New analwonaerful Discovery.

Too much cannot be said of the great
boon which humanity now enjoys In the
wonderful curative agent known through
out the world as Days Kidney Pad. Its
remarkable virtues are recorded in every
climate under the sun, and there is no
questioning the fact that it has restored to
health thousands who have Been given ND
by physicians as hopeless incurabIes. It's
discovery constitutes an epoch worthy of
commemoration, for. aside of it's power to
dissipate disease, it is superseding the
nauseating physics which, from time i'm
memorial, have afflicted our stomachs and
wrestled our very souls with detestation.
La the old school of medicine there was
only one kind of absorption remedy known
and used-the fiy-blister. Its elective
ness demonstrated the value of the prin-
eipie, bit il visited the patient with pains
more difficult to endure than the disease.
and its application was the signal for the
sufferer to begin an onslaught on the
reputation of the physician. When con
sidering the distressing Ills of medicines
employed, how keenly can thosew who have
used the Day Pad appreciate its benefcent
effects: how truly enjoyable is the remedy.
