Saving Eyes by Electric Light.
The public is beginning to realize
that the use Of the electric light does
more for the preservation of the eye
sight than any other artificial luminant.
One Of the most reassuring evidences Of
this is the adoption Of electric light in Q
large number of hospitals devoted to
the treatment Of eye diseases The
Royal South London Ophthslmic hos
pital, which il undergoing extensive
structural enlargement and improve
ments, il being fitted up throughout
with electric light.
II Is also stated that quite an impetus
has been given to the introduction Of
electric lighting into Londonderry, Kill
kenny. Galway and other towns in
Ireland by the declaration of one of the
surgical staff Of the Royal Ophthalmic
hospital In Dublin that the electric
light is the best light for eyes that are
weak or affected with disease. and oeca-
sions them lees discomfort and injury
than that produced from gas. oil or can
dles.--New York Telegram.

in Dress Goods art is unique.
Its power is conhned.to fabrics
for Dress, both mems and wo-

ONLY one Of the political parties Of this
state has ever done anything for the peo-
pie. Even now one Of them, only, pro
poses to do anything. The Republican
party has never shown itself worthy Of
the trust of the people The offices and
the legislative bodies Republicans have
held have always occupied themselves
with getting away with all the money on
hand and creating deficits, and with lay
ing plans for getting in the negro vote
as a side issue AT the present time they
cannot explain or even apologize for the
actions Of their levy courts in Sussex
and New Castle counties. In the former
they spent more money and showed less for
1t than any levy court which
ever sat in that county, and left the
county warrants at discount of twenty
per cent. In New Castle county they
employed high priced lawyers recklcssly
TO attempt measures for increasing the
bogus list Of the bogus poll-taxables,
they kept all salaries ard expenses.

Ole Squire; they appointed men 10 Office
for partisan reasons who were incompe-
tent, they engaged in a legal wrangle
about one bridge, instituted a
worse kind Of wrangle over another
bridge, expended al the money they had
at command and then increased the rate
of taxation. The Republican city
council has made a worse record, created
a larger deficit, increased the rate Of tax
alton by greater percentage and sub
jected its membeIs TO worse sus-
picions. With these facts staring
the good people of this county in the
face the Republican managers have
''whooped up" a campaign by purchasing
bogus tax receipts for bogus negro
voters, expecting to carry the county in
spite Of the records they have made
in spite Of the fact that they do not pro-
pose to do any better, and in spite Of the
miserable and indefensible ticket they
have put into the field.

AFTER many years of support Of the
Republican party in its hypocritical and
shamelessly impudent and false claim Of
being the God and morality party the
prohibitionists have been undeceived in
their blind or ignorant trust by the Re-
publicans themselves. Voice, the organ
of the Prohibtionists says:
Iowa is not the only State in which the
Republican Party has turned it's back
upon Prohibition. In North Dakota the
following resolution was offered in the

that has no principle, from party that

AFTER two years diligcnt search one
man, Joseph Romer, of Passaic, New

That hero, with the Pinxerton detective
in Ohio, makes an army OF two to show
what has been gained by protection "
Mr. Romer appears in a steadily Demo
cratic state, and, we imagine, in either
an unprotected industry or an
industry for which the tariff
was not raised by the Mckinley
bill There is some evidence TO show
that wages were increased Ia unprotected
industries, but there is no evidence that
the Mckinley bill raised wages. On the
contrary, there are Homestead and the

were decreased in the Mckinley indus

THE proposal Of reciprocal trade is a
betrayal Of protection. Reciprocity is at
war with protection One Processes TO
close our ports to foreign trade because
home trade is all we should have; the
other proposes to open our ports to
foreign trade If it is profitable to close
our ports it is Improbable to open
them. The two theories cannot both be
right; one or the other must be
the correct theory Of profitable
trade, because they are inimical
they would destroy each other This
contention is obvious when we consider
that Mckinley, the stolid, one ideaed,
