Catarrh Cant be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional dis.
ease, and in order to cure it you have
to takeinternal remedies. Halls Ca.
tarrh cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is no Quack
medicine. It was prescribed by one Of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such won-
derful results in curing catarrh. Send

That gross fraud has been perpe-

THAT A gross fraud has been perpe'
trated in the deal between the Viii.
mington Republicans and the collec-
tors, there can be no doubt. That some
one should be punished is evident and
for the good Of the State it is to be
hoped that all the guilty parties will
be made to suffer. The position OF
the United States officers in the affair
cannot be pleasant one and does not
reflect much credit upon the admins
tration which is credited with a sup
posed desire to execute the laws and to
obey the laws laid down for their
guidance. These officers are offensive
partisans In every sense Of the word
and as such should be dismissed from
Office. The President has taken q
solemn oath to execute the law and
andyet this class Of men are in office
all over this broad land and worse than
all they have assurance from high
places that their misdeeds will not te
remembered against them. Senator
Higgins is posing as the friend and
guardian of the peoples interests and
yet he procures the appointment OF
offensive partisans to the most i'm
portant government positions.
While we condemn the acts of Sena-
tor Higgins and his lieutenants we do
not overlook the rascality of the Demo-
Gratis concerned In the miserable affair.
II John ]. Dougherty or Geo. w. Nc
Kee know anything of an evil nature
regarding this matter they should be
compelled to let it out. If they, or
either of them, have now in his pos
session any money which rightfully be-
longs to New Castle county let him be
made to disgorge and forever after let
him be held up to public scorn and
contempt. The Democratic party is
not In a position to condone the offense
Of any public officer simply because he
is a Democrat, first. because If he is
dishonest he is a Democrat for what
there is In it, and second, il the party
is to go on winning victories in this
State the offending members must be
cut off and the people given to under
stand that an honest admins
tration of public affairs is a
cardinal principle in the party's
platform. II the investigation
now in progress is intended to bring
about justice and to punish all the
offenders concerned let it go on. II it
is intended that some Of the rascals
shall be punished while others are let
off further expense is useless.

How the American people do love to
be hnmbugged! In affairs Of import
ance to every inhabitant of the country
as well as in town or village affairs.
We are constantly reminded of this
affection by the accounts of divorce pro-
ceedings or other unhappy ending of
the married life of some American girl
who bad money enough to tempt some
titled scamp from the other side to
confer upon her the honorable name
which he has dragged through all the
mire of Europe. Again it is seen in
religious matters when some wolf in
sleeps clothing nlasquerades before
the public as saint of the first order
until he is brought up with a sharp
turn by some event which exposes his
real character. Again it is seen in
political affairs when the people 60
wild with enthuiasm over some can
didate for office who is seeking his own
advantage at the expense of the public.
This Is the most common of all the
various kinds of humbuggery practiced
upon people who apparently enjoy the
thing to the fullest extent. We are
told that to tax one makes one rich
and in the next breath we are told that
ssanything cheap is nasty" or that "a
cheap coat makes cheap man." We
are told that free trade is the one thing |
to be dreaded and yet the same Secre-
tary of State who tells it straightway |
makes free trade treaties with foreign
countries. We are told that "high |
moral ideas" exist only in a certain
party and yet we find the victory CIV
ing head of that party defaulter and
a rascal. We are told that Delaware
should place herself under the guidance
of the Republican party and yet we
find some OF the appointees of the head
Of that party engaged in questionable
dealings with bad men.
We are told that through the agency
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
we are able to reach distant points in a
comfortable manner and in the short
est possible time, that our Peninsula
has greatly profited by the operation of
the road and that therefore it is high
treason to complain because the great
monopoly has seen fit to take, for
freight charges, only about twO-thirds
Of the income from great crop of
peaches. We are allured from our
peaceful homes to some distant point
to witness some great event and find
when we get there that the whole thing
Is fake and so it goes.
Probably being humbugged is a
sonrce Of amusement to many persons
and yet we find many who object to {
such forms of recreation and therefore :
We hops:that in the course of time the :
American people will come to their Z
,enses and carry into their political and I
Hsial life that measure of good. hard
Nor which they are given credit
liners generally.

The reviews Of trade are
just now taking large account
of retail features. The world
realizes that the Retailer is the
great factor in trade. These
reviews call attention to the
remarkable preparation of
New York retailers for the
great business expected this
season. That's good adver-
tising tor New York and New
Workers are to be congratu-
lated on what the merchants
are doing for them.
But 0ur townsfolks have
more to be grateful for. No
single store elsewhere is SO
wisely ready for its friends, the
public, as this. Knowing your
needs and your ability to pro-
vide for them, knowing that
the immediate future promises
good return for worthy pre-
paration we have prepared
with a lavish hand to give you
the choice merchandise of the
world and to render the great
service you will require of US.
Tax your memory for the
names of Dress Stuf1s that are
proper and interesting novel;
ties. Then ask for them here.
Failing to remember, and
wanting to read the world
thought in fabrics aAa-node
ask our people to introduce
you to the choice new things
our counters are the Elite
Directory of dress.
Has your mind been a bit
foggy on the Baby Carriage
question ? No need to have
been if you know much of
such goods. But very likely |
you don't know. Now is your
time. Even the eyes of care
lessness cannot fail to see how
marvelously cheap-how near
to half the round-town prices,
in fact-are these three grades
of Baby Carriages.
1915, $6 and $3.50.
These are the prices. 81.
$40 and $t2 would be more
nearly in chime with the regu-
lar retail rates.

cold shoulder to any old friend who tries to
induce him to go again on exhibition.

though he despans of finding one of that
kind
