Few Of the people who 90 to a menagerie

then there come slowly prancing by, wary,

There are upward Of 100 Abyssinian goats

These are 10 give milk FOR the young ami

The caravan IS on its way through the
desert Of buakin, which Is the first ship

than 100 camels in It, which are required to
carry the food for this caravan, and there
are upward Of 100 drivers in the procession.
It takes the caravan upward OF SO days to

A teacher In one Of our eastern schools

who wish to grow up ia the fear of the

as better men have done before him-name-

This is all wrong The idiom Ihad liefer

century or thereabouts had rather wns

the argument used against Il is that in the

and this is nonsense.
II is true that il seems to lack analytic
meaning to the modern language user or
nearer, but the answer Is that in older DAYS

DOVER. Aug. 2s.-A fire tiend,
evidently bent upon the destruction Of
property, visited Dover on Saturday
night. About o'clock as Charles
Denney, Jr.. and.Harvey Chambers, were
coming ont Of the lane by Denney 8
house they discovered flames in the
stable of Robert p. Collins, on State
street. The whole side Of the build
ing was in flames but owing to the
prompt action Of those present the
flames were soon under control.
But not any too soon, as
the flames were leaping TO the loft
which was filled with straw. Upon in
vestigation il WAS found that coal oil
had been poured about the stable and
then had been fred. Yesterday morn
ing a halfpint bottle of coal oil was
found on the ground near the stable
IL was fortunate that the fire was. dis
covered so soon as 1t was, for nearby
are situated some Of the finest
dwellings on the Public Square.
The stable contained two carriages,
sets Of harness, and other minor things
A horse was in the pound at the time of
the fire and escaped injury.
Hardly had this fire been extinguished
before second alarm was given. This
time it was the hay rack near the barn

cashier of the Farmers Bank. The
buildings are situated In the
rear of the bank on the Public Square,
and not over two hundred yards from
Mr.. Collinss. where the first FIRE was.
The Hose Company was soon on the
scene and had two streams playing on
the burning hay. Every effort wal
made in the meantime to keep the
fire from reaching the stables and other
outbuildings. There was no breeze al
the time, and the fire.. was soon extin
guished.
The loss in each case is slight. But
only the prompt action of those present
saved what might have been serious

The opinion Of all is that the fires wer'

CONSTITUENTS OR CONVICTIONS.

CONSTITUENTS OR CONVICTIONS.
There are two principal thoughts up
permost in the minds ofthe silver men
in Congress; there are two classes Of
silverites.
One class is directly interested IN the
price Of silver as a commodity. II the
government were TO buy the mines those
men would not care rap for silver, for
silver coinsge and much less for the
price Of silver.
The men Of the other class are from
farming communities They feel that
hey must do something, they don't
know and don't care much what.

finance nor strong convictions concern

question Of currency ON its merits In
history and philosophy, or afraid Of their
constituents.

absence of party control. man cannt I
allow either common sense or high motives
to guide him
In this lot Hon. Seth W. Cobb, a Dem
ocrat from st. Louis, stands pre- eminent
as man Of courage and conviction.
Three fourths Of the silver mining
stock in this country is owned or con
rroiled in his district. He comes from
among constituents whose property and
profits will be directly affected by any
silver legislation. He has received
letters threatening that he will incur
the displeasure OF his constituents now

A TOUGH GOOSE.


The same reasons which make the
Sunday Star anxious TO elevate itself by
a controversy with the EVENING JOUR
NAL will prevent us from demeaning the
EVENING JOURNAL by the only sort Of
controversy the Star is capable of con
Quoting.
After several years pitiful acquain-
lance with the Star we have never OBJ
served an indication Of any generous
ability whatever, or any inclination to
discuss questions Of public Importance
The Star shows no knowledge Of
science, literature or art in any Of
their branches II is dull and witless,
in style, immoral in tone and unwise in
conduct. Being chided for not making
paper that a man OF sense could read
that would be Of some service to the
city, and reflect credit upon him, the
conductor, we understand, replied: Ut
is good enough for me"
That is the gauge of the paper which
is the dump for articles rejected by
others, and the refuge for writers who
have ceased TO be useful elsewhere. it
acts as a sort Of public scsvenger for the
three otker papers from which it derives
its senile talent and their tiresome con-
tinuity Of commonplace garbage. 1t Is
a conglomeration of ofIal that is usually
not so offensive as it is meaningless and
worthless 1t is independent SO IL
declares. in politics; neutral in morals
and, incapable Of anything noble in con
ception or excellent In execution.
| We could not have a controversy with
such paper because It has no opinions,
no convictions, no reason for being ex
cept that Of. providing, perhaps, q
shabby genteel inc ONE.
The EVENING JOURNAL, only FIVE
years old, has grown with marvellous
rapidity to be the leading newspaper in
Delaware. The musty and mide v ed
papers which have been trying to kick Il
of the face Of the earth but fine
that they are kicking rock and only
fastening death, can feign to rldicul'
this statement but they cannot deny IL
The number and character Of the EVEN
ING JOURNALS subscribers prove It. Tit
weekly dump rot may be read by few
people because they can do naught else
they must take that or nothing. Thil
may not always be so, tired commun
ity trusts that It will not always b,
so. The Star, having no rival, Is suffered
to exc out declining existence because
the generous people cannot get anything
else. We cannot argue any public
question with n paper that derives ia
chief vigor from the offal Of the Daily
Republican and supplements that Will

A controversy with II would be like
the game Of pulling at the CREASED
neck Of goose. tied to the limb Of q
