the ability and Willingness OF the Serb

The Republicans of Delaware county,
long FESTIVE undor the boss rule of
Cooper, are making an effort which gives
hope Of shaking off the autocrst who has
carried the county about in his pocket
FOR the past is years. The voters have
awakened to realization that Cooper
owns them "body and breeohes" and they
are weary Of political serfdom. The
Chester Times is leading the people
against Boss Cooper and his candidate
for Congress, and from being red
headed and hopeful Cooper is he-
coming rad-headed ma ratified. Cooper
owns two papers and is charged with
having subsidized another, in addition to
temporarily side.trscking one OF his
editors who disputed Cooper's Dictator
ship. The Boss charges the TINES
candidate, who is now in the state senate,
with being greedy for office, while
his own candidate has held perhaps
the most lucrative Office in Delaware
county for 10 or II years, beside handing
ort fat crumbs to members Of his own
family, Besides, Cooper himself has
hold ofiice for nearly quarter OF CEN
fury, and has thriveu &C the political
patronage u his county and stats, The
Chester Times is making the Boss exceed
inslY unhappy sad furnishing its patrons
with some lively reading. Mr.. Cooper,
il he were prudent, would extract wis
dom from his friend DarlingtoG'B attempt
to oisregard the will of the voters in
Chester county. Darlington is now the
deadest political goose In neighborinp
politics, yet Cooper is foolhardy enough

Young Americans are occasionally to
be met with whose Ideas as 10 why we
celebrate the Fourth of July are little
hszy but when II comes TO the question
how the day should be celebrated we find
them possessed OF most definite and pro-
nounced ideas. in which an unlimited
supply Of "shootin' crackers" phys an
indispensable part. What they do not
think much about, however, is that their
annual consumption of these FIRE crackers
affords employment to great many yell
low mon, women and children on the
other side OF the world. All the small
crackers and many Of the large ones used
in this county comes from China, and the
United States importations run from
100000 to 100000 boxes annually,
averaging 40 packs to the box. They
are made principally in Canton and
in the country surrounding that
city, and the ScieHtifs American is
authority for the statement that they are
made by hand labor in the most primitive
way. The Chinese have been making
these little fire crackers for nearly 1900
years and yet IT would seem they have
not learned to adapt machinery to the
manufacture. The inhabitants of that
country consume immense quantities Of
crackers themselves, but their motive
goes deeper than that OF merely making
noise. They believe their explosion
will ward off evil spirits, so that OF times
when and places where the devil seems
particularly troublesome the detonations
are oorrespondingly noisy aud protracted.
II the Chinese were called on to exercise
in their peculiar style our present House
of Representatives OF Washington we
fear they would hnd the resources of
their cracker manufacturers far too
limited to do justice to the undertaking.

Consul Fechet of Piedras Negras, Mex
leo, reported recently to the State De-
partment the arrival there, from Pitts
burg, Of 5000 tons Of American steel
rails, adding: "At present the American
can be laid down cheaper than the
European rails in Mexico" Yet the steel
rail manufacturers kicked very hard two
years ago ovsr the proposition of the
Mills bill to reduce their protection"
from S17 to $ll per ton-a reduction
which, strangely enough, has found its
way into the Mckinney bill. This mes-
ure, as it LETT the house, fixed the duty
Of six-tenths of one cent per pound, and
the Senate committee has recommended
further reduction to ons.Lalf cent
per pound. We shall see, IL the Senate
takes up this bill fer debate, whether the
steel rail trust will still clamor for the
retention Of the Sl7 "protectionn which
the Mexican shipment shows can only be
OF use to pinch the home purchaser.

A proteotionist paper, speaking Of the
