Shut him up for day,
Get his hat and his cane
Put them snugly away;
Give him stockings to mend,
And three sumptuous meals;
And then ask him at night,
If you dare, how he feelsl
Do you think he will quietly
Stick to the stocking,
While you read the news,
And don't care about talking?"

One or two bills before the Board of

committees should be In the examiua-
ton of bills before they sanction them
by signing them. Mr.. Ruth OF the
Eleventh ward, who Ia very safe and
careful member OF the Board, riddied
Que OF these bills last night and held IL

that 1t is difficult to see how the man
who claims the amount due can have
the cheek TO ask the Board to pay It,,

honesty and integrity cannot be dispu

pairs OF a school house we will not say
where. 1t called for 45O feet Of boards
for fsaca at $34 thousand, when only
400 feet were used, and Mr.. Ruth AYERS
that he could get sach lumber for S17
PER thousand. One OF the boards had
"a knot holes in 1t, and another had 81
knots. The posts for the fence wers
set 90 "n at so cents each, which Mr.
Ruth, who Is practical builder. says
he can get all he wants at 25 cents a

hands, Mr.. Ruth said, were engaged IL
the work, and these men came and
worked two or three hours one day and
aboui the same number of honrs the
next day, and still two full days were
charged for each.
We are no. surprised a. the indignn-

items, and that he declared he would

Grain Gamblers.

There is very strong reason to believe
that many of the reports sent out In
regard to the failure of the Western
wheat crop and the danger to it by
drought, were In the interests of the
wheat speculators. Almost every sum
1ner we hear the old stereotyped cry OF
dry weather just before the harvests
and the crops have all gone to the dogs,
and yet after the harvest Is gathered, 1t
generally turns out that there is large
wheat crop-much more than is needed
for home consumption. This year es-
pscially the cry Of the destruction OF
the heat crop in the West came very
unexpectedly. We have no doubt the
Yves ern people hear Of reports OF the
destruction of Eastern crops. There
has never been o year to our kno Wedge
when there were more promising re-
ports OF big crops than there are the
present year, and the reports OF great
droughts and failures OF crops on the
eve Of bountiful harvest came like a
clap of thunder from q clear sky.
We are free to say that We do not be-
tieve these reports In b general sense.

pute ignorance to the Board, for this

Go mean to say that there Is In the
Board total disregard Of the rules Of

service as presiding officer has made
him familiar with the rules OF govern.

sway, which is taken advantage OF
where 1t should be more appreciated.
We would suggest that the mem ers of

Manual and then try to conform to the
rules he has prepared and published for
the benefit of deliberative bodies; in

TO speak more than once upon the same

wish to speak, have spoken once. This
simple rule II observed would save
much confusion. A want Of carefully

endless amendments and debates, and

Ii this Is well understood on the part
|of the voters that the weaker Ia to sur
render to the stronger, then the combi-
nation may work, provided Mr.. Her
bert and Mr.. Blggs are both willing to
be sacrificed, one for the good OF the
other. Such an example of SELF
sacrifice, however, would be rare in
politics. IF Mr.. Herbert wants to be
Governor of Delaware he will want all
he can get to secure the nomination,
and the same may be said OF Mr.. Biggs.
With Kent and Sussex Counties ready
to transfer the majority Of their dele
gates to either Mr.. Herbert or Mr..
Blggs a surrender OF one to the other
will be no very easy matter, but much
easier for either of the candidates men

The whole thing has kind OF bargain
and sale appearance that does not look
favorable upon the surface, and we
would not be surprised that when the

gates from one to the other, some of the
sheep would break from both the Her
bert and the Biggs folds and jump over
