no NEED FOR ALARM.


Mr.. Edwin Sutherland said: The press Of the
country this morning proclaims the birth of a
political giant II is only needed to examine
the platform Of the new party to discover that
the newborn giant is another seeker after
political pap, and in danger of becoming a
pigmy, and the advent OF time is the only
requisite to hasten the passage OF the new
party into inocuous desuetude.
1t avails nothing that the platform of the
new party has been hailed with wild delight by
thousands. All France went wild over the
mississippi scheme" and it even received the
sanction OF government authority, but this
could not prevent ruin to tens OF thou
sands who ventured into it. Nor viii the loud
acclaim with which the platform Of this party
has been adopted prevent the public from find-
ing the utter futility Of the scheme. Sound.
economic principles do not emanate in Don
Quixote manner. There must be a basis Of
common sense on which to rest them.
We are not living in Utopia, nor is the mil
lenium approaching, and yet it is gravely pro-
posed to make this government purely peter-
nal and to convert the various Department.
into vast pawnshops. The fact that some
fairly good provisions are contained In the
platform will not prevent the death Of the new
party by inanition, which viii speedily take
place II only left alone.

She is EioquentIy Described by Bishop
John ii, Vincent.


Bishop John ii. Vincent, chancellor
of that great university of the people,
the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle, lcctured in West Church Thurs
day night ON "That Boys Sister" He
was pleasantly introduced by the Rev.
A. N. keigwin. The lqeture was given
under the auspices of the Woman's and
Young Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and large audience was present.
"That Boys Sister," according to
Bishop Vincent, was named Blossom.
The bishop began by cloquently telling
of Blossoms infancy and childhood,
and put his audience ut once en- rapport
with him and his subject, Then he car
ried his hearers with him, entranced by
his sparkling wit and his eloquence.
From laughing to crying was but step
and every sentence woke responsive
chord in the hearts of the audience.
The mother of that boys sister was
described "That Boys Sister" feared
that boy, and to illustrate the fact, the
speaker told number of laughable in
cidents, and described the spirit of
coquetry inherent in the boy, called
easing.
AT seven times two, it neared the time
for the girl to lay aside the doll anu the
speaker regretted it, Now money went
for laces, ribbons, beads, feathers, chew
ing gum. She lived in an atmosphere
Of adjective and interiection. The
speaker coveted for her thorough ply
steal education. The same education in
rudiments guaranteed 10 her brother,
and domestic education. Never let
servants or neighbors know anything
about housekeeping that you don't
yourself.
Seycn times three was elequently
described. Blossom was the wife Of ~
true man and the mother Of children
Thousands of her sisters We're doomed
to lives of solitude, never to be wives
and mothers. To such the speaker paid
u deserved tribute.
Three spheres in which She might
work were described The kitchen,
nursery and parlor. The blunt girl, the
bold girl, the aspiring girl, the limited
girl and old maids, were each summar-
lied. To the limited girl, whose life
was hedgcd about, tribute was paid
that drew tears to the eyes of the audi
ence. Attention was paid to the stylish
girl and the loud talking woman and in
conclusion the patient woman was as
postrophised.

Herman ChieIinski Tries to XIII HIS
wife and wounds Her.

Herman Cbielinski, aged about 81
wears. an upholsterer in the employ of
the Pullman Car Company, attempted
10 shoot his wife Friday morning just
before noon. al their home, No. 116 East
second street.
Mrs. Chielinski, middle-aged and
attractive looking woman was seen by
a renorter after the affair and to him she
gnve an account of the affair and related
1nrt of The family history.
Three years ago her husband, she
said had 4 furniture store in Baltimore
md failed. After the failure he re-
moved here and obtained employment
Al The pullman works. The loss of his
property worried him a great deal and
he took TO drink. For the last seven
DAYS he has not been at work and for
some fine he has acted like crazy man.
Freauently he talked of their loss and
seemed TO think that they would not be
able 10 survive it. Friday morning he
said he would 70 to the drug store, a
half n block away. after some medicine.
He was gone nearly an hour and when
he returned he was slightly intoxicated
and was weeping. After complaining of
his hard LOT he requested her to go up
stairs which she did and he followed.
Next he requested her to join
him in PRAYER. She continued
lxneeling a little longer than he
did and when she arose was
SURPRISED to see him produce revolver,
which he started to point at her. Before
he could take accurate aim she sprang
forward and caught his arm. During
the struggle the weapon was discharged
and bullet passed through her left
foretinger. She continued TO hold him
md commenced screaming. A daughter
downstairs heard hei cries and running
10 the front door shouted for help. Elk
Police officer Burroughs, who was pass

matter and hastily entered the dwelling.

Ready for Taking Fish.

A Delaware City correspondent writes
the Middleton Transcript; The coming
fishing season promises to be busy one,
and even more boats and nets than ever
before will be used in the business at
Delaware City. Messrs. Reuben Ander-
son a. Son will add several new stur-
geon boats to their already large fleet.
Mr.. james u. Sadlcr will also add a
number of new boats and nets to his
fleet. And the new firm of II. G. d
James ii. Clark will increase the old
fleet Of II, G. Clark by number of new
boats and nets. Including sturgeon,
shad and herring, there will be at least
l20 boats engaged in the fishing bust
ness at Delaware City, which necessi-
tates the investment Of several thousand
dollars and the employment Of several
hundred men. Delaware City is the
most important fishing point in the
State, and fast becoming one of the
most important in the country.

past anniversary of Jackson's Day, Jan
uary 9Th, when Delaware blood flowed
in defence of the Union and mingled
with that Of other heroes ut New
Orleans.
In response to the toast of the "Grand
Army of the Republic" William X,
Long of the Republican,, made graphic
reference to the volunteer army OF the
United States. 1t was no standing army.
And the fact of its record of glories OF
1865 is due to the recognition of a
state militia properly supported.
"'rhe City Press" was responded to
by ]. Travers Jones Of the EVERY
EVENING.
"sussex" was briefly but pointedly
responded to by speaker of the House
w. L. Sirman who referred to Della
wares Revolutionary glories.
The toast of ''Aim High was replied
to by Col Garrett j. Hart, who offered
his fluctuations to the host and then in
troduced Lieutenant Simpson as one
who could accomplish better rifle prac-
tice than,the speaker.
Lieutenant Simpson gave brief
resume of the status of rifle practice in
state militia. He said the department Is
progressing we'll. There are some ex-
cellent shots in the militia companies,
but the grade of craftsmanship as re-
quired by law is very high.
The toast of "Morning" was replied
to by Harrie r. Price Of the Morning
NearS, who aptly made acknowledgment
of the courtesies, staff, regimental, and
commissariat, received by the represen-
tatives Of the press during encampment.
"Military Trains" was wittily replied
