Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about how
to make home happy. The moralist and the
preacher have hackueyed this theme until it
would seem nothing more remained to be
said. But the philosophers have gone far
out Of their way to account for the prevalence
of ill-assorted couples and unhappy homes,
and have overlooked the chief cause. Most
Of the unhappiness of married life can be
traced directly to those functional derange-
meuts to which women are subject. In nine
cases out Of ten the irritable. dissatisfied and

why a Convention must Come.
LFrom .Snsset Lon,NaI. pem.l

(From SnsSef Journal. Dem.)
One paper thinks the desire to control the
Levy Court is at the bottom of the recent
Democratic split in New Castle another
lays it at the door of the Senatorial contest,
but in either case the argument is all on the
side of District Representation even from a
partisan standpoint. If each hundred were
allowed to nominate and elect its own Levy
Courtman, party splits over such nominations
would be confined to the hundred and not
embrace the whole county, and through the
county endanger party supremacy in the
whole State as is now the case. And ifeaeh
legislative district were allowed to nominate
and elect its own representative, party splits
over these nominations would be confined to
the district and not spread to the county and
State If Democratic factionists viii fight
let us adopt system OF representation that
will reduce the danger of fighting to the
smallest proportions. The factional fights
that are now rending the party will sooner
or later result in its defeat unless a ConYeu-
ton is called that shall give us District Rep
resentation and other reforms. Neither a
contest over the Levy Court nor a contest
over the u. S. Seuatorship would be attended
with half the dangers that now attend them
if the counties were divided into Levy Court
and Legislative districts All this is written
from a selfish partisan view. five consider
the public welfare, the arguments in favor
Of district representation are all the stronger,
the object is higher and better. Leg
islation would be more in line with the pub
lie desire and the public welfare; and county
affairs would be conducted more strictly in
with business principles if the
district system of representation prevailed
