The Democrats should be defeated at
the approaching State election this fall
because they have been in power thirty
years, and permitted one-third Of the
people of the State to be disfranchised
from representation in the Legislature,
simply that the party might be kept in
power.
1t should be defeated because 1t has
never attempted to repeal the life tenure
of the judiciary of the State, . feature
of the government that is in the highest
degree inconsistent with the ad vanced
spirit of the age, undemocratic and
anti. Republican.
1t should be defeated because 1t has
never called a constitutional conven-
ton 70 abolish the political abuses that
have crept into the State government and
to preserve the equality of citizen
ship.
1t should be defeated because that
when it did make q movement To
amend the Constitution, the amend
ment proposed still leaves $4,000 people
In one county disfranchised from
having any voice In the Senate OF the
State, and $4,000 people from having
any voice in the Lower House.
1t should be defeated because 1t has
passed a bill putting the power into
the hands OF the assessors and tax col
lectors Of the State to defraud at will
the State out of thousands Of dollars Of
taxes, and thousands OF Republi ans
out of their votes.

had no respect for the local rights OF
the people as seen in the Water Com
mission and Municipal Court, huge
protuberances resting upon the Shout
ders of the people and against the will
of the people.
1t should be defeated because for the
sake Of subscribing party purposes by a
system Of infamous gerrymandering OF
the wards, the minority of the people
of the city of Wilmington is made to
rule the majority.
| Many other reasons might be ad-
duced to show why the Democratic
party should be defeated at the coming
election, but why should more be
shown ? Are those given not enough
to crush any party by an intelligent
honest people who prefer justice, liberty
and equality, to party slavery
party dictation and to party inso
lence

meled answer why they vote for a
party that deserves the most crushing
defeat ?
II the people are perfectly satisfied
that these omissions of duty and com
missions of partisan tyranny are right
and should be tolerated, all they have
to do to insure continuance of them
is TO vote the Democratic ticket.
If on the other hand the people wani
local self-government preserved il
they want equal rights and equal re.
presentation in the Legislature, honest
collection Of the taxes, a constitutional
convention called to amend the Consti
tuition in an intelligent manner and
free from partisanship, they should votI
the Republican ticket.

THE Pittsburg Post, one of the few
Democratic papers in Pennsylvania
that shows any spirit in supporting
Cleveland, challenges the Republican
party to produce any letters from Cleve-
land such as are published over Blaine's
signature. That is just what is wrong
with Cleveland. The public which is
charging him with loose morals would
be very glad to have a letter from
him explaining the Maria Halpin
affair But then Cleveland is to be ex-
cused from writing letters. He could
not write much of one if he was to
try his best.

If every Republican in New Castle
County who now has any doubt what
ever of the success Of his party at the
approaching election, will go to work
heartily from now until the election in
November, the result, will not be
left in doubt. There Is too much of a
disposition amongst many Republicans
to point to the long list of DISTINGUISHED
Republicans in the county who cannot
vote and it is too readily inferred from
that, that the chances are against Re.
publican success. 1t il true that thou
sands of Republican voters are dis
franchised in a shameful manner, lust
as 1t was inten led by the assessment
laws they should be. but 1t should not
be forgotten that for every Republi-
can defrauded out of his vote by the un-
just assessment laws, disguised
Democrat steps in and takes his place.
There never was greater disaffection in
the Democratic party than there is at
the present time. From Brandywine
to Blackbird life long Democrats are in
revolt against their party, some for one
cause and some for another. and they
are appealing to their Republican
brethren TO stand fast this time while
they lend them helping hand. The
late nomination elections show that the
party in the rural districts has not lost
its vitality. In every Hundred Demo-
Gratis are found who openly proclaim
their hostility to the Constitutional
Amendment relating to representation
and agains. the party that is response.
BILE for it. A correspondent sends
cheerful news from Appoquinimink,
former hot-bed Of Democracy. 1t ia
openly proclaimed now that Blaine
AM Logan will carry that Hundred.
that Mr.. Lattomus, the Republican
candidate for the Legislature, will get
two-thirds Of the vote cast in the Hun
dred, and the Republican Road Com
missioners will be elected Notwith-
standing the Acknowledgement of a
large portion OF the Republican vote,
1t is claimed that the Democratic ma
jority in Blackbird will be reduced.
In st. Georges Hundred, where at least
three hundred Republican voters are
left Off the assessment, the disaffection
amongst the Democrats is so deep and
wide spread that predictions are freely
made that the Republicans will carry
the Hundred. The laboring men OF
that Hundred are tired of voting with a
party that does not recognize them ex-
cept AZ hewers Of wood and drawers Of
water.
The Republican candidate for the
Legislature in that Hundred is a pop.
ular mechanic, and a gentleman of the
highest character. Leonard V. Aspripe
name is a tower Of strength to the
ticket. The same spirit that exists in
ST. Georges exists to a great extent in
Pencader, Red Lion, White Clay Greek
and New Castle. The lost Republican
vote by dishonest assessments will b,
more than made up by volunteers from
the Democratic ranks. Let Republi
ems who are assessed, pay their taxes
and pay them soon, and then do thei
best to get out every legal Repub
lican vote and all will be well.

THE great free-trade leader in Con
gress. William II. Morrison, has been
re-nominated for Congress from the
Eighteenth District of Illinois. The
district has a very large Democratic
majority in it but the Republicans have

looks now as if Morrison would be de-

Profits in Drugs.

There have been two important
changes in the drug business within
the past few years. In the first place.
the scope of the drug store has been
enlarged. In old times the term drug
store indicated an establishment
where simply drugs were kept. Now
YOU can go Ia MANY drug store, and
purchase cigars. tobacco. canes. UNI
brellas. tea. coffee. confectionery. and
many kinds Of fancy articles. Some
say that druggists have been forced
INTO selling these goods on ccoun 81
the competition they have had to con
tend against in the sale Of patent med
Icincs by dry goods establishments and
book stores. and because some Of their
own number sell the patent. or pro-
p~rictary, medicines. below the regular
marked price. There j. much truth in
this statement. but | think there j. an
other reason To account for the prac-
,ice, and that i the increased rat" Of
rent. In former times the item Of rent
was not so great a il i now. and the
druggist could make "A good living by
combining himself To drugs proper.
Now the expense for rent l. a matter
for serious financial consideration. II
is true that the business Yields a large
per centage of profit. but the total
sales are comparatively small. At one
time. when the calling was confined Ia
its legitimate sphere. the profit Vas
fifty per cent. Now the average rat"
Of profit is probably twenty-five or
thirty per cent.-Goorge j. Manson, IA

Barn.Cellar AMI Swamp. Muck.

A barn-ccllar has many valuable uses.
Not the least is that the rats and other
sermin have no harbors as they have
,nder ground i0ors. Then the manure
: handled easier. it is all scraped out
Of the cutters through the trap doors
and goes down into The cellar upon n
good bed of dry swamp-muck. which
absorbS and deodOrizes it. and keeps
the stable above sweet and clean. The
anu is saved from washing BY rains
and its full value preserved. The best
Use is thus made of the manure. and its
bulk and value is doubled ii one will
only provide plenty of dry swamp
muck; or forest leaves, il he has these.
and not the ether. to receive the urine
and "a mix with the solid matter. A
very bad use OF q manure cellar is 10
iUrn the swine into it under the excuse
that they VII work M the manure. To
me nothing else IS SO horrible rs TO see
pigs wallowing in such n place and
picking food out of the dreadful mess.
No wonder pork SO made should have 3
bad repu;e.
Swamp-muck Is of exceedingly great
value. The fertilizer manufacturer has
~ monopoly of the Use OF figures, and
If we use them a he does. n farmer
can uSt rs easily aud tru,hfully figure
out a good bed OF peat to tc worth
$4,000 an acre. A cubic yard of it. air
iiriei. will weigh l.ro pounds. If Of
ordinary good quality. it will contain l
per cent. of nitrogen. which the fertil-
i1er man values II. let US say. the very
moderate estimate for him-l5 cents
the pound This makes the 900 pounds
ot muck worth Sl.5a. In the acre of
bog three feet deep there are $50
cubleyards. This figures up 10 $3.50
for the acre. What fault can the fertil-
izer man, cr chemist. who a~nalyzes
leather scrap. dried flesh and wool
waste for its nitrogen. and sells il for
10 TO 20 cents a pound. find with these
figures. Dig it; pile it on the bank: let
1t drain and dry. and put it everywhere

beds covered by three or six feet sashes
are as good as any; N man a handle

two men would be needed.
Board or plank pits three to three
and a half feet deep ut the back and
two and One-half to three feet At the
front and sunk under the ground level
about two feet would be quite >ervicca-
bic. Let this frame be iioored nne
inches under the surface level. In the
chamber under the floor, which is a lit
tie over n foot deep. two three-inch hot
water pines should be placed; these
will give what bottom heat would be
required. Ii The bottom of the pine
chamber were lloored with old boards.
n good deal of heat would be ccono-
mized. Then ill the pit to the ground
level thine inches deep with soil. and

Straw mats ard shutters should also be

cold nights. a only a mild heat should
ever be kept in the pipes.
OF such n bed as this you may have
