If wheat is to follow wheat, it is
best to leave but a short stubble on
the ground. If clover is to follow
the wheat, it is best to leave the
stubble as long as is convenient,
making less straw to haul and move
away, and after a week or two run
the mower over the field, set so it
will clip the clover tops, and let
the shOrn stubble be as a mulch for
the young clover. 1t will help it
through August and September.

Death of William Il. Scott.


Ex-Congressman William L. Scott
of Erie, Pa, died at Newport, R. /.
Sunday night. Mr.. Scott was a mar
of vast wealth which he had acquired
by his own personal efforts. He was
very active during his service in Con.
gress and was regarded as one of the
most useful members. Born in 1928,
he was left destitute by the death of
his parents at the age of seven years.
When twelve years old he was appoint
ed page in the National House of Rep
resentatives and served there at the
same time that Senator Arthur p.
German was a page in the Senate.
Mr.. Scott made some remarkably lucky
hits in a business way while yet a
young man: and thus got into a posi-
tion which enabled him to amass a
fortune of something like SIS, 5,OO0, 900
in the coal and shipping business. He
owned at the time of bis death a very
large truck and stock farm down the
Peninsula at Cape Charles City, where
some of the finest horses in the world
were quartered every winter and where
carload after carload of vegetables
were produced every week. He was
also interested in the New York, Phil
adelphia and Norfolk railroad. at
the time of his death there were not
less than 10000 men on his payroll,
and he controlled $4,000 miles of rail
road. Mr.. Scott was self-made man,
intelligent and fearless in his public
duties, and his death is mourned by
thousands of friends in every part of
the country.

!, II. InAthis word we are taught Il
love our neighbor as ourselves, to dc
instica and love mercy We tharefort
ask nothing from any man or class thai
we would not willingly grant. We
seek no selfish advantage and ask nc
no special favor.
III. But we do demand fair play
and equal rights for ourselves as far
mers, and while we are ready and will
ing to bear our full share of the public
burden, we are not willing and will not
longer submit to pay nine .tenths of all
the taxes levied for county and munic-
ipal purposes. We. therefore, demand
that invested capital. such as bonds,
mortgages and stocks, which yeild a
larger and more certain return with
less labor and care than our farms, be
taxed exactly as they are, at their real
value.
Nv. We further demand that the
taxes when collected shall be wisely
and economically spent for the benefit
Of the citizens at large and not to re-
ward fayorites or professional politi-
clans for political services real or
imaginary.
v. We are neither party or parti-
sans, but are political to this extent
that we demand the selection of good,
honest and true men for office, and will
support no other and especially do we
demand the selection of honest, intelli.
gent and courageous men. for senators
and representatives in our State Legis-
lature and men who are imbued with
the principles we advocate and who
will unhesitatingly pledge themselves
to carry them out if elected.
vi. We further declare that while
we have our party preference, respec-
lively, We are yet freemen and not
slaves of any party or faction, and will
therefore support only such men as be-
lieve in our principles and are willing
to support them, no matter to what
party they may be allied.
VII. That under the head of far
mers we include and recognize all who
draw their support directly from the
land, such as the owner, the tenant
and the farm hands.
VIII. We also declare our deep and
sincere sympathy with workingmen Of
all classes and will aid them on every
proper occasion to secure their rights
and the first reward of their labor, and
we ask them to unite with us in the
support of these principles and the at
5ainnlent of this end.
We ask the newspapers of this State
If whatever party or interest to pub
ish the foregoing declaration of princi-
oles and purposes.

IN clipping from Harperss Weekl,
which we publish this week will bt
found much that is true, in regard tt
the use and abuse of railroad passes
The condition of affairs in New Hamp.
shire is somewhat the same here,
Judge Cooley, who has just retired
from the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission, on account Of ill health, spoke
many times Of the bad effects of the
system. Chief Justice Comegys has
also pointed out the danger to which
the community is subjected by the use
Of this method of bribery and probably
his remarks on the subject caused the
presentation, at the last session of the
Legislature, of the bill to prevent the
acceptance of passes by members of
the General Assembly.
That bill was designed to materially
increase the pay of the members, but
could not be passed without striking
out the clause violating to passes as
the friends of the bill were aiming at
that particular abuse the bill was kill
ed. Strange to say the railroad peo-
pie were opposing the bill simply be-
cause it did not allow them to issue
passes to legislators. One member of
the Senate refused to accept pass and
gave as his reason that he had paid the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company many
thousands of dollars for carrying
freight during his business career and
yet he had never been offered any
favors.
He could not understand why he
should receive pass simply because
he was a member of the Legislature
and being conscientious man he re-
fused to. accept one. There can be no |
objection to the acceptance of a pass
by a man who renders sufficient legiti-
mate service to pay for the same, but
where pass is issued to man who
cannot render that service except at
the expense of the people and to the
injury of his own character it is issued
for the purpose of bribing an influen-
tial man. The time for this kind of
business is at an end, the people now
see the evils which have beset them in
the past and they are fast getting into
a position to protect themselves. The
spirit of unrest which is now so plainly
evidenced by the action of the farmers
Of the State will serve as warning to
alhpoliticians who are willing to see.

THE Farmers Alliance resolution
adopted at the meeting at which th,
State Alliance was organized, are t.
the point, and their meaning cannot
be mistaken. The farmers Of Della
ware are becoming aroused to the dan.
gers which beset them. There can be
no doubt of the fact that the farmer
pays more than his proper share of the
taxes both State and national, and he
cannot be blamed for objecting to
such system.
The State Alliance starts out with
the intention of voting for men of
either party who will pledge themselves
to do certain things desired by the Al
lance, and just there they will meet
with serious difficulties. When man
iseiected to represent the people in the
Legislature he should be one in whom
the people have confidence and man
who has the courage at all times to do
what he believes to be right. There
can be no doubt but that the Alliance
will prefer men of this class, and, such
being the case, their representatives
should not, and could not be coerced
or pledged. With the bad class of
politicians pledge does not amount to
much and in some cases would be given
only to be broken. The Democratic
party offers every means by which the
farmer may hope to escape the injustice
to which he is subjected by national
taxation of certain kinds, and in the
State of Delaware it is the farmers
only hope. Monopoly and oppression
have characterized the Republican
party from the day of its birth and the
farmers who adhere to it are not get
tingany benefit therefrom.
1t is the party WHICH has encouraged
the facFehe4a no conceivable way; it
is responsible for the enactment of a
tariff law which Mr.. Blaine says 'will
not open foreign markets to another
bushel Of wheat or another pound of
pork" 1t is the party which proclaims
to the world that free trade is a delus-
ion and snare and yet makes free
trade treaties with foreign nations and
calls it reciprocity. 1t is the party
which is SO anxious to protect Ameri-
can laborers and yet allows The impor-
tation of foreign laborers for the bene-
fit of the cheif apostle of protection
it is the party which prates about high |
moral ideas and then keeps at the head
bf its affairs a man who is an adept in
)Rrrupt practices it is the party which
omises relief to Delaware farmers
ID yet sends to the United States
mate q man who votes for the Nc
FINLEY bill. The farmers do not wish
become members of, or vote wit
Iuch u party and for this reason they
lannot vote conscientiously for men,
'ers Of that party who can only prom

The carpet idea came from
the East. Solomon had Car
pets-a Legendary silken Car.
pet among them that would
convey him and his court any
where at will. But the Car
pet star moving westward has
fixed its Empire in America
and its court in this city. It is
claimed that single ward in
Philadelphia produces more
Carpets than all England.
Be that as it may we started
in some years ago to give this
city a real Carpet Store. The
work IS accomplished as our
corps of Carpet Knights
true knights of sales, will show
you if you challenge them.
1t IS not lnvidious to tell
you the well-known truth that
the great-eyeateSt-stock of
Carpets is assembled here.
No business remains at a
permanent point. Failure to
progress is decadence. That's
commonplace, but important
we know it, you know it.
Hence no backward step here.
We open the Fall sales with
all the new Carpets of each
sort and in all grades.
The tendency just now is
toward low tones and soft
tints of color. There is some
disposition for plain Carpets
aesthetic colors. The walls
and furniture will control
choice. Our duty, now that
you are opening up the home
again, preparing for the do
comfort and social life
Of the winter, is to tell you
that your carpet questions can
be best settled here-and you
probably haze Carpet ques-
ions.
