COMPARISON.

w. II. Carter, of Bell PIaine, told q re-
porter of this paper more than g month ago,
that be was going back to Pennsylvania TO
stay all summer. He said he was raised
there and that Pennsylvania was grand
old state, the comforts of living were always
at hand. Why, he said out here in the
west we live too much on hog grease.
Now, in Pennsylvania, for instance, they
grease their griddle on which to bake corn
cakes, but out here they fry them in fat like
doughnuts. And then he told the reporter
of the fine fruits and nice honey and other
nice things, until the reporter longed for q
trip to the old Keystone state to sec and
taste for himself the sweets of that land.
Hence this reporter was somewhat surprised
when, early yesterday morning. he saw Mr..
Carter come out of the Fremont hotel with
a bunch of tooth picks and complscently
seat himself under the shade trees. The
reporter ventured up to him and
said show is grand old Pennsylvania as
compared with our new Kansas!" Mr.. Car
ter looked up at abe reporter with look of
disgust depicted in every feature. and stand
ing toothpick upright on bis knee said,
"corn is about the size of that" In answer
to why he returned so soon he said, 81 tell

The Men Who Succeed.

Says the Manufacturers Gazette; 1.-The
young men who receive promotion are
the men who do not drink on the sly.
They are not the men who are always at
the front whenever there is any strike,
nor are they the men who watch for the
clock 10 strike twelve and leave their
picks hanging i'm the air. They are not
the men who growl if they are required
to attend to some duty few minutes
after the whistle has sounded. They are
the men usually who pay the closet at
tentiOn to the details of their business,
who act as though they were trying to
work for their employers interest instead
of to beat him at every crook and turn.
They are the men who give the closet at
tention to every practical detail, and who
look continually to see whether they can
do any better or not. This class of men
are never out of a job. They are scarce
they loaf never, and they do not ask for
their pay two or three weeks before pay
day.

chance in East DOver-that's Troy. 1t
has been taken for granted all along
that no one would attempt to dispute
with the Saulsburys their own particu-
lar quarter-section but at all this time
the administrations expect to contest
every inch of it. They say that Dover
will see the hottest time next Saturday
that that place ever experienced.
South Murderkill has been recOnized
all along as Biggs stronghold. Hence
the action of the FELTON, Democrats,
who organized a campaign club on last
Wednesday evening, caused no sur
prise. 1t was accepted as the super
heated Biggs enthusiasm. The admin
istratiOn is sure of two hundred only
in Sussex county, namely, Cedar
Creek and Lewes and RehObOth. Col
leCtOr of Internal Revenue Causey will
carry the former, and expects to do it
in lavender-cOlOred kid gloves; and
Ebe Tunnel will carry Lewes and Re-
hObOth of course. Georgetown will
be the scene of a dragOut or two on
next Saturday. Young "Al" Robinson
means to carry it, but he can't do it
unless Attorney General Paynter main
tains his old time neutrality, which is
hardly probable. Paynter has a good
office, and all in all he would be re-
markablc man if he refused to help his
father-in-laW in this his dire need. 1t
is probable that Paynter and StOckley
together will carry Georgetown against
the young Democracy, but it will be
the last time.

West on q large scale. They are thus
cutting Philadelphia off in great meas
ure from her proper supply, which she
draws largely from Kent county, Md,
by the Sassafras river boats. Indeed,
the falling off from this source is so
great already and promises 10 continue
so all through the peach season, that
some of the Philadelphia buyers have
gone to Still Pond We are assured
that if the Clayton Exchange is put
into immediate operation the Phila-
delphia buyers will come down and To-
cate there for the peach season. If
this is 50 the best thing would be to
erect the building at the earliest pOssi-
BILE moment and organize for business,
and in the event suggested the con-
struction of the telephone would be of
secondary consideration, as also the
appointment of an Inspector. Why
so? Because the buyers would talk
with sellers and use their OiOH eyes for
inspecting. In this way money would
be saved to sellers and a better price
for peaches be obtained.
1t is conceded on all hands that the
Delaware Fruit Exchange will be event.
ually located at Clayton. But why say
eventually or why at all? But if
eventually why not now. And if for
some good reason not now, then let the
Clayton Branch act in her own sphere
of business with the same freedom as
Still Pond. Open her Office; invite the
buyers from Philadelphia and other
cities and arrange to make them COM
Portable and sell all the peaches at
Clayton we can. In this way very
much red tape can be avoided and the
money for the fruit passed over direct
to the shipper.
1t is confidently believed that with
buyers at Clayton we should realize Is
to 20 cents more per basket-grOwing
out of the sharper competition between
foreign and home markets. Many of
our peach growers have expressed
themselves as willing to Join the Ex-
change if located at Clayton. They
are not willing to sell through Wyom-
ing. And Clayton, from her position
and Importance as the railroad centre
of the Delaware Division is the proper
place Nous NERROUS.

THE political wrangle in the Demo-
cratic party which has been going on
for some weeks in the family will in all
probability reach crisis ON Saturday
next, the time appointed for the pri-
mary meetings and selections of dele
gates to the State Convention, which
meets at Dover next Tuesday, 18th
inst. Much personal bitterness has
been engcndered and as a consequence
much dirty linen has been washed and
hung up to the public gaze The ex-
positions thus made are neither exalt-
ing to the political managers of our
State nor to our system Of politics. 1t
will be observed that in the factional
contest there has at no time arisen a
question of principle or policy for the
good of the people plc-modernizing our
fundamental law, lessening our taxes,
purifying the ballot. &c.-but the su-
preme, the paramount object that over
rides all other ambition, the goal which
all are contending for the mastery is
the Offices. 1t is sublime scramble,
that should invoke the shades of our
Revolutionary heroes to witness the
scene

NOTHING is more apparent in the de-
fenceless condition of our coast cities
against the new inventions of naval
warfare than that we ought to have
better Notifications, and that it would
be more credit to our national Legisla-
ture to vote money for this purpose in
stead of squandering money in digging
out catfish streams. 1t is creditable to
Mr.. Tilden that one of the last acts of
his life was to send to Senator Hawley
a strong letter in behalf of Notifications
for our coast, and the Senate, by a
great effort, increased the appropria-
ton from three-quarters of a million to
nine times as much. The bill as it
came from the House was paltry pro-
posal to spend small sum in making
preparations and patchwork. Mr..
Tilden's letter to Senator Hawloy reit-
Grated the need of vigor and open
handedness in this matter, just as his
letter did to Mr.. Carlisle at the begin
ming Of the session, but to which he
paid 10 attention.
