1t does seem little strange how Re-
publican prophesies like dreams 60 By
contraries.
They prophesied that the election Of
Cleveland in, 1894 would be followed by
universal disaster, disorder aud distress,
THE Old Humbug' Barnum even pro-
posed to sell his property in Connecticut
at less than half Of its value.
After Cleveland's admirable admins
tration Of stern economy and sturdy
honesty had made its impress, there was
general confidence and universal pros
perlty instead and Barnnm refused tc
sell bis property, more then million
dollars WORTH at an advance OF 20 pei
cent.
When these same false prophets were
advocating the election Of Harrison they
said that plenty" prosperity" and /
general advance III all material interests
would follow.
A wave Of financial disaster went
through the country in 1889 There hav,
been political and official scandals with
out number; one pension commissioner
has been dismissed in disgrace, another
is disgraeed, but not dismissed, thu
people have risen in universal indigna

MIR. Bnyard'a Talk About Delaware.

Hon. Thomas f. Bayard was the prin-
cipal speaker at the banquet Of the Della
ware Society, at Delmonicos, in New
York, Tuesday evening In replying to
his toast, The State Of Delaware. Mr..
Bayard eulogized John Dickinson, who,
he said, suggested the division Of the
country into states. "The country is
not a unit, but Union, he said. IF it
were unit, 1t would have persisted long
ere now. Delaware stand for the idea
that it is better to be the small part of a
great country rather than the great part
Of a small country Look at colonial days,
for example At the Stamp Act Congress
Delaware had as powerful a voice as sn
other part Of the country. The man who
issued a call for a con ference Of states to
form constitution in 1856 was our John
Dickinson, believe the articulation of
the states and the equality of the states
is the very secret of the country's
success. He then spoke of the great
leader, Thomas Jefferson, and said that
the election in 1901 was a great crisis,
and he claimed that Delaware was an
important factor in the result Of the
election. II say this because the father
Of my father held the vote that turned

Miss May Buckingham made an excel
lent impression on the good sized
audience which greeted her as the Dear
Little Shamrock" last night at the
Academy of Music. as may be supposed
from its name the Little Shamrock, " In
which she takes the title role, is an Irish
comedy drama full of pathos. mirth,
dancing, singing and wit, for which the
the Irish people are celebrated.
The "Little Shamrock" is the
victim Of circumstances She is lost
as child, during a plague which devas-
tated the country and scattered the
people. She lived in poverty and happi-
ness until she was taken to a rich family
as lost daughter, where she lived in
misery under the restraints aud petty
exsctions Of wealth and fashion. She
retained the Irish brogue to her
tongue, and kept the image of her
peasant lover in her heart till
she is finally rescued from the imprison-
ment Of wealth by her real father, who
has been shipping as an American sailor
gotten rich and returned 60 Ireland tc
live at ease and find his lost wife and
child. The comedy Is full of songs
l dances and fun, for which an Irish county
fair furnishes the best opportunity.
