IN reaching results in matters of
opinion the.way is to weigh what is said
pro and con on given question. No
one can reach an intelligent conclusion
by reading one side only, but like the
judge and jury, must hear both sides
and then put his faculties to work.

Missouri, on the probable future OF the
two great political parties are given in
the last number of the North American
Re0teU. Senator Hoar, with his char
aeterlstlc snap" answers the question,
Are the Republicans in to stay?" in
the afnrmatlve. He starts out with the
remark that no man can predict with
confidence the result of any future
election IN this country, experience
having taught "how slight are the
causes which may change votes enough
IN what are pivotal States to give q
majority to one party or the other
and he instances, as examples of then
an unwise sentence in a letter that cos

Polk and Texas, the forged Morev
letter that cost General Garfield all thu
votes in California but one, and the los
OF New York by Mr.. Blaine by 9Th

better how to protect themselves now

The Apple Crop of the Country.
1T IS FAILURE IN NEW YORK STATE
BUT VERY LARGE IN MICHIGAN.


n. Hellings & Bro, on North Della
ware Avenue, Philadelphia, are
largely interested in the apple trade.
and in a talk with Ledgcr reporter
on Saturday about the crop of the
present year, the following informa-
lion was obtained:
Last year New York State furnished
the bulk of the apple crop Of the
United States; this year the crop is a
failure in that state, and what few it
does produce are of inferior quality.
Michigan looms up as the banner
apple bearing state this year, its crop.
Mr.. Hellings estimates, being 1000 coo
barrels. the heaviest crop it has pro
duced for ten years. This apple prod
uct of Michigan is, it is thought, over
half the product Of the United States.
Southern Illinois has raised a fair crop
but the fruit is "clouded" and other
wise inferior, while, on the contrary.
the Michigan product is the finest ever
grown anywhere, and Of greater
number of varieties.
Mr.. Helling's advices from the West
are to the effect that the crop is being
shipped away very rapidly, not only
to the East. but to the farther West, IA
letter being just received from a ship
per in the apple-growing region stating
that he is shipping 100 car loads a day
in that direction. The growers are
disposing of their fruit at once, only
keeping over enough for their own
use. Mr.. Hellings also stated that his
firm was shipping apples to Boston and
New York at an advance over Phila-
delphia prices
Last year Europe received 100000
barrels, and So greatly are Americeu
preferred there that its people are
! already clamoring for them even at
the advanced price The indications
are that so much of The reduced crop
of this year will be exported as tc
make a severely felt scarcity in thi.
country later in the season. New
York State alone produced 100000
barrels last year, to few or almost none
at all this year, and had not Michigan
come to the rescue apples this yeal
would have been IA luxury instead of;
necessity. They are now selling a
from sc to rs cents, and in choice vari
cites 81 barrel above the prices rul
ing this time year ago, and the indi
cations are that the margin will b.
still wider as the season advances.

The Burglars.

E. G. Walls with the aid of a detec-
tive has learned enough about the par
ties who robbed his and G.. w. Thigh
mans stores on Friday night to know
that they Gre the same who entered
the hardware store Of Culveyhouse in
Dover a month ago, and week later
commenced similar operations in Mid
dletown. They travel in a wagon. He
says if he could get the interested par
ties in those places to cooperate with
him, he has no doubt they could be
run down. This much we can say
without divulging the particular line
in which the investigation has been
made. Our citizens offer a reward of
500 to aid in this work.

Communicated.


The ladies of the Benevolent Society
appeal to the citizens of Smyrna to
help them; not only with contribu
tions of money, clothing, and prOvis-
ions, THAT some sad hearts may be
made happy, and some destitute, com
Portable, through the coming winter)
but with their presence also, Wednes-
day evening.
Nature herselfappoints some men to
poverty and some to riches. God
throws the poor upon the charge-in
mercy to us. Couldn't he take care of
them without us? are they not his?
It's easy for the poor to feel when they
are healed by us, that the rich are a
God-send to them but they don't see
and many of their helpers don't see
that the poor are a God-send to the
rich. They are set over against each
other to keep pity and mercy and
charity in the human breast. If every
one were entirely able to take care of
himself we'd turn to stone.

THE young editors of the Laurel
Gazette have not only started out well
geographically but they exhibit the
right conception of local paper. In
their Introductory they say:
Believing that weekly local paper
should not curtail its news space by the
publication of political discussions, and
that our success is better assured by
avoiding party issues, we shall be,
politically, strictly independent and
shall attack the wrong and champion
the right in whatever party.

Two Large Broiler Farms.

The Editor recently had the pleas
ure of visiting the large establishment
of Mr.. Henry Anthony, Smyrna, Del,
who has a broOder house of about 5000
capacity of chicks, Mr.. Anthony's
brOOder's house exceeds any in Ham
mOntOn, except one, and it is also an
improvement over the Hammonton
system, so much so that in our own
hrooding house we have adopted it.
Mr.. Anthony and his friend, Mr..
Carter, who also has large bIoiler es-
tablishm9nt near Smyrna, kindly al
lowed us to make a thorough inspec-
ton. He has ten Prairie State Incu-
batOrs in operation, altogether holding
27OO eggs. Mr.. AnthOny's brooders
are the most complete we ever saw.
The pipes are OUer the chicks, and the
brOOders are so arranged as to cut off,
or apply the heat to any section of the
brOOder house desired, it being regu-
lated by cocks at the stove, which
heats the water for the pipes.
The building has a passage-way
down the centre, with thirty-two
brooders on each side or sixty-four in
all. The arrangement is such that all
the feeding can be done from the pas
sage way, without stepping inside the
brOOder apartment among the chicks
! The floors can not become too warm
and as there are no hot air tubes the
chicks have no inducement to crowd
Nearly double the room for chicks
under each brooder is also secured
Mr.. Carter's establishment is equally
as we'll arranged. Mr.. Anthony says
that he has had chicks to weigh three
and One-half pounds when three
months old in his broOders.
Mr.. A. F. Cooper, of the Prairie State
Incubator Co., has made an arrange
ment with Mr.. Anthony, (who, we be
lieve has applied for patent) by which
all persons using the Prairie State In
CubatOTs will have the privilege o
using the brOoder plans free of charge
aud as drawings and cuts are being
made, we hope soon to present it t
our readers,
As we stated, we are now putting il
the system of Mr.. Anthony in ou
1900 brOOder house, at HammontOn
N. j., as we believe it far superior t
the one in use there, although it ha
been successful. The improved sys
tenn will cost less for buildings an,

live snake had twisted itself between
the hind and fore wheels, and was hold
ing the stage as securely as if the
wheels had been tied with an inch rope.
The passengers got out and tackled the
snake with clubs and stones. and, as
the reptile thrashed about under the
wheels, the horses were wild With
terror. He was finally killed by blow

is, they sent these animals out of H.,

on horseback, and. having these horses
at their town home, did not send for

from the farm, howsver This was on
Friday. The dog showed himself very
uneasy and dissatisfied with something

dog disappeared, and lad not retained
