EVERY report Of good crops and pros
porous times for the farmers is an addi-
1ionai thorn in the sides Of the Demo
cratic calamity walters. The Democratic
party has always prospered most when
the people suffered most and it is for
that reason that It breads the era of pros
5erity which is now dawning upon the
c ountry, brought about by Republican
/ sgislation, and which we would have
h nd long ago had the Republicans con-
II oiled all branches of the Government,
as. they did during the first two years of
PRESIDENT Harrison's administration.
A nd it is a matter for congratulation
that the Democratic House of Represent
tatives, which was elected by false rep
reservations to the people, will not be
able to undo the good work done by the
Republican House, much as the Demo-
Gratis would enjoy doing it, and the at
tempts that are certain to be made in that
direction will only convince the people
of the country of the necessity ofe1ecting
a Republican House and President next
year.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHrNcroN. Tulv 20. 80

/ WASHINGTON july 70, 1891.
Senator German who is just now the ''Pooh
Bah" Of the Democratic party, opened the
eyes of committee Of Ohio Democrats in a
manner that must have surprised them very
much, as they haYe been taught to believe
that German was Omnipresent and invinci-
Die. This committee came here to get Mr.
Germans promise to take part personally in
the management Of the Ohio Democratic
campaign. That gentleman took the com.
mittee out to his Maryland country residence
and entertained them royalty, but he de-
clined to make any promises about the
Ohio campaign, because as one of the COM
mittee men put it, "he caudidly Informed US
that he had just all the fight that any one
man could want right in his own State, and
that while he was confident that he would
be elected to the Senate again he did not
feel that he could afford to take any chances
by giving any part ofhis time to Ohio poll
tics. That of course, settled the matter,
but it was mighty surprising to me to learn
that Arthur German really had to fight to
maintain his asceudency Ia Maryland.
suppose It is all on the account of the
Farmers Alliance"
The fact that Mr., German has big fight
on hand is well-known here both to his
political enemies aud to his friends he is
secretly opposed by a wing Of his own party

State but what he fears most Of all is a COM
binatiou between the Knights Of Reciprocity |
the Farmers Alliance and the Republicans, |
and such combination is regarded by well /
nen as not only possible but very /
probable. The legislature elected in Mary /
land this year will elect two United States

other to FIJI the unexpired term Of the late
Senator Wilson, which opens the door wide
for combinations.

THE future for peach culture in Della
ware is not so bright with financial prom
ises as it has been for the past quarter of
a century because of the spread of 'yel.
lows" From Dover upwards peach
growing as business will pass away
with the present year, and it will be but
a very few more before the peach belt
will have moved another twenty miles to
the south, and with its march comes
thatterror to orchsrdists peach yellows."
The lesson to be learned rom this un-
pleasant fact, is, that instead Of devoting
so much time and space to this one in
dustry farmers must grow small fruits,
or engage in trucking. To do either
successfully there must be such an audi
cation of freight rates that these enter
Prises may be profitable. The railroad
company must make rate that will in.
duce farmers to grow truck aud ship it to
market from this part of Delaware. This
has been done in other localities with
the result Of stimulating trucking to large
proportions and the creation of large
profitable freight business. The Adams
Company has built up an extern
3ive business in carrying butter from Mil
ford simply by making a special rate on
butter which permits our farmers to ship
his product and make profit. In view
IF the fact that the peach business must
PASS from us at no great distance in the
utufe, it would be well for our prominent
linking farmers, and others interested, 10
make the effort to secure these advanta-
es. There are two ways in which this

pads making special inducements, and

A Reliable Assistant.

The poet aud the almanac maker agree
that all seasons haYe their signs, but those o.
spring are most active ard insistent. It is
then that nature throws off the lethargy OF
winter and prepares to renew her bounties
It is then, also, that nature attempts to
throw off the impurities that have lain dor
mant in the human system. This effort
manifests itself in various ways-in the in
creased activity of old affections, in the ap-
pearance Of boils carbuncles and other
ernptions and in the various symptoms so
familiar to those who haYe suffered. It is at
this period that nature finds an active and
trustworthy assistant in S. S. S., which in
the work Purifying the blood and strength

most perfect spring medicine ever offered to

JERRY SIMPSON making third party
speeches in New York and Ohio is a very
different individual, in the eyes of Demo
Gratis, from Jerry Simpson making third
party speeches in Georgia. It's all very
nice to have the Farmers Alliance in
the Republican states go into the third
party movement, but it is rank treason
for such thing to be even talked about
in the Democratic South. Republican
members of the Alliance are not as blind
as some of the Southern Democrats be-
lieve them to be, as will be seen before

who employ no labor here, who does
nothing to contribute to our growth and

beyond the oceans, whence he desires to
bring his products, either farm or manu-

pay for the privilege; and when he has
paid for the privilege we will cover the

Mysteries of Electricity.

Electricity in the many forms in
which it has been made. useful to man
has become so familiar to most per-
sons in recent years that it is rather a
matter for surprise that in some of it's
most interesting manifestations it re-
mains to-day as mysterious an agent
as it ever was. The tremendous
power Of a stroke of lightning is be-
yond all possibility of imitation by
artificial means, and yet that power is
seldom exercised twice in precisely
the same manner. Sometimes the
lightning appears to exert it's full
might like an angry giant, and it's
blow then resembles a shot from
hundred-tOn gun-nOthing can with
stand it, and it rends, tears and scat
tiers broadcast whatever object it en-
counters.
AS an instance of it's terrific ca
pacity for destruction possessed by
bolt of lightning was the instant de-
molition in England, year or so ago,
Of great oak tree which for genera
lions had been the pride Of a neigh
borhood.
Occasionally all this fearful power
is expended upon an insignificant OBJ
ject, as happened near West Louis
vile, in Kentucky, last June, when a
turkey buzzard, sailing high in the
air at the beginning of thunder
storm, was suddenly annihilated in
the sight Of several spectators by a
bolt Of lightning that darted from a
cloud.
The same mysterious force mani
tests the variety of it's powers by such
sort of photographing it really is
the forms and colors of neighboring
objects upon the surface of whatever
thing has felt the fury of its assault.
Near the town of Warren, in Ohio,
last July, young man who had taken
refuge under tree during thunder
storm was killed by lightning, and
upon his breast and other parts of his
body appeared wonderfully distinct
images of the leaves and branches of
the tree.
We often hear accounts of the
strange behavior Of what is called ball
lightning; and still another form in
which the electricity of the atmos.
phere occasionally manifests itself, is
the so-called ST. Elmo's fire which
illuminates the yards of a ship as with
ghostly lanterns. The European scien-
tific papers have recently contained
an account of a very singular appear
ance Of this kind of electric light
which was witnessed near the town of
Gottschee.

Little Paper Made of Rags.

The old copy-book line-"Paper is
made of rags"-has become obsolete,
in fact, if not in use. Formerly all
paper was made out of rags, WORKOUT
clothing and the like, and when such
material as straw was first introduced
there was a general outcry. Now,
however, comparatively little paper
is made out of rags exclusively, a fact
which is fortunate, as the quantity of
paper now used is SO great that there
would not be enough worn out cloth
ing or shoddy to supply the demand.
The strangeness Of it is that while
paper is being used for dozens of pur-
poses formerly monopolized by wood
or even harder material, such as car
wheels, boxes, barrels, tubs, pals and
SO forth, wood is rapidly driving other
ingredients to the wall in the manu-
facture Of nearly all the cheaper
grades Of paper.

country road during a snow-storm,

coming out Of the new-fallen snow.
1t was presently discovered that the
light enveloped the iron cap on the
end of the cane carried by one OF the
pedestrians. When he raised the cane
in the air little sparks seemed to
dance forth from it.
There are many of these electrical
exhibitions furnished bynature which
occur in the presence of persons
who do not take the trouble to
observe them carefully, and after
ward to report what they have seen.
Some of the things that now appear
mysterious would cease to be so il
more people would learn to use their
eyes and their brains at the same

Some Steam Statistics.

According to a recent estimate,
four-t1fths of the engines now work
ing in the world have been construct
ed during the past twenty-five years.
France owns 1850 stationary en-.
gines, 1000 locomotives and 1850
steamboat engines. Germany has
10000 locomotives of all kinds, SO, 00C
stationary engines and boilers and
1,700 ship and steamboat engines.
Austria has 10000 stationary engines
and $500 locomotives. The force
equivalent to the working power steam
engines represent is: In the United
States, $500, 000-horse power; in Eng
land, 7 ZOO, 0O0-horse power; in France,
5000, OOO-hOrse power; in Austria,
1900, 000-horse power, and in Ger
many, 4,500, 000-horse power. In
these figures the motive power of 10.
connective engines is not included,
whose number in all the world at the
beginning of 1890 was los, 900, repre-
senting a total of between 5000, 600
and 100000 horse power, about 6,
900, OOO-hOrse power, which, added to
the other powers enumerated above,
gives a total of 40, 900, 000-horse power
for the world. A steam horsepower
is equal to three actual horse power,
and living horses strength is equal
to that Of seven men. Therefore the
steam engines in the world represent,
approximately, the working power of
1000, 100000 men, or more than
double the working population Of the
world, the total population Of which
is usually estimated at 1,455, 923, 900
inhabitants. Steam has accordingly
enabled man to treble his working
power, making it possible for him to
economic his physical strength while
attending to his intellectual develop
ment.-Age of Steel.

THE charming ladies who have
banded themselves together under
the somewhat terrifying title OF
Daughters of the Revolution" are
considering the question Of buying
the historic ground of Valley Forge,
where the fathers Of the revolution
went hungry and cold with no pros
poets of pensions to cheer them. The
price asked seems trifle steep. In
the present condition of the agricul-
tural interest in the East $55, 600
seems a good deal to pay for 12O acres
of land only famous for starving the
people who tried to live on them.
But, as one of the Chicago daughters
happily suggested, GAS the govern
ment is given to buying national
parks it might buy Valley Forge and
present it to the society,"" In this
happy event of course the price
would be immaterial, as no one cares
what the government pays for its
real estate. But there is another al
tentative which the daughters do not
seem to have thought of. Suppose
the land is not bought at all. Can
anything happen to it? Is there
danger that some one will rob it of
its historical associations, or do the
ladies fear lest some one may take
the whole 12O acres to Chicago?
