shippers stated yesterday that good
prices prevail for the luscious fruit.
Peaches are very plentiful Enrly In the
morning, wagon after wagon, loaded with
Delaware's choicest product, formed a
continuous stream toward the freight
cars standing side tracked at the service
of the shippers
The fruit is generally fine, and mostly
of the Mountain Rose variety The

About 250 more Bohemians from Phila.

They, also, were conveyed by farm
wagons to Odessa, where they are to

these people are now at Odessa awaiting
the opering of the cannery which will
occur in day or two.

II the effect of the repeal of the tariff
is TO destroy the industries and decrease
wages, how did the gentle and tenderly
considerate protectors of industry and

year to the support Of the government.

The decision rendered by the Behring
Sea Arbitration Commission is favorable
to the United States in that it comedies
its main contention-protectio to the
seal or course this was not the con-
tention of Secretary Blaine which was
made up of jngoism, ignorance and
forged information, all of which made
a humiliating spectacle before the world
The fact is the settlement is to be made
on precisely the lines laid down by Mr.
Bayard years ago. Referring to this the
Philadelphia Record says
For the rest, the outcome of this
arbitration is what Secretary Bayard
proposed in President Cleveland's first
administration. Had not the Secretary
Of State then been thwarted by parti
san opposition In the Senate he would
have established with Great Britain and
other commercial nations close time
for hunting the seals, and this ques
tion would have been satisfactorily
settld long ago But TO this simple
and unpretentious plan of settlement
magnificent display Of diplomatic
pyrotechnics was preferred. Secre
tary Bay ard was denounced as an
Anglomaniac. With loud talk
Of asserting the national honor
and dignity the claim of exclusive iuris-
diction over Behring Sea was set up, and
an active warfare upon the seal hunters
was begun, amidst the plaudits of the
lingo organs. But when it became nee
essary TO abandon the barren claim of
jurisdiction the still worse claim was
made in the assertion of right of prop
erty In the seals that had been conve.
nient y converted into domestic animals
for the purpose. The result is recorded
In the award Of the Paris arbitration.
1t is not with the view of criticizing
Mr.. Blaine, Mr. Harrison and the Repub-
leans in the Senate that these events
are referre to. but to praise Mr. Bayard
He is a living evidence that It pays to be
sensible and noble even in politics.

GOLD BUGS.

The use of the term gold bug TO de
scribe those who advocate an honest dol
lar is obscure in origin, as It is senseless
in application. 1t does not suggest any
idea that those who use il have been able
to convey They are of that class who
deem It unnecessary to make any ex-
plantations; and as a general proposition,
they are incapable of an argument that
is not based on vituperaton. None Of
them has ever thought it his duty to ex.
plain what he means by gold bug; and.
It is more than likely, that none of them
ever had an idea. what his idea would be
If he should have one, why man who
advocates an houest dollar, is a gold bug
We suspected that the term came from
the interesting, ingenious and curious
story OF Edgar Allan Poe, till more fre.
quent exhibitions convinced us that the
average silverite evolutionist was not
familiar with literature aud probably had
never heard of Poe, or Of his story about
the discovery Of chest Of gold and
jewels which had been buried by Captain
Kidd
That story is founded on the finding Of
3 gold bug large, bright yellow beetle,
found in the southern states, (Catalpa
lanigera) Of the scarab@ide family. This
searabee is called the goldsmith's beetle in
obsolete reference to the goldsmiths of
London, who formerly received money
on deposit because they could keep it
safely hence, a banker
In all Of this, and. in fact, in all OF
the combinations Of words in which
gold" is used there is no reproach, ridi
cule or meanness From the golden
pheasant to the golden mean. it repre-
sents things, only, which are refined,
pure, beautiful and good.
II the origin Of the term is traced to
the curious story of Poe, we have the
reward of an untold wealth. found by the
aid of the South Carolina scarabmus so
admirably told that it is regarded as
literary gem. Tits origin refers to the
long disuse Of the goldsmith's bug as
the sign Of banker into whose safe and
honest keeping the people of London
we're wont to place their jewels and
precious stones, that too is creditable.
There is no reproach In either case
The silver men have overshot the mark.
They have proved too much either in
history or in fiction.
Gold is valuable and beautiful. Fig
uratively, It signifies something precious
or pure. In combination, 1t distin-
guishes color and worth in their great
est perfection
To be a gold bug is TO be- IL a bug,
the most distinguished Of bugs In It's
gorgeous color; in the place that
Poe has given IL in literature. or in the
history Of the English speaking people.
In their futile and ignorant rawlings the
silver ties are really doing honor to their
superlors without knowing It. They
are aeSnowled ing the very thing that
the gold bugs claim, namely, that gold
is superior nov, and always has been
superior to silver Hood said OF t.:
