of w. Alice Rurnes, & Ca. for 1904.

The famous seed house of w. Atlee Bur
pee & Co., Philadelphia, announce that their
annual seed catalogue and floral guide for
1874 is now ready for the public. This
ca analogue is probably the most complete
list OF seeds, flowers and plants issued in

can seedsmen and has been particularly
successful in It's southern trade, making
a speciality of seeds adapted to this section.

season of the year, when every is

illustrated seed catalogue is of great value
and should be in the hands of every
gardener in the SOUTH
A postal or letter request to the above adj
dress will obtain their catalogue free of cost.
The Constitution cheerfully commends tha re-
liability of the house.

a Sarcastic Inquiry.

"A correspondent of The New York
Herald who writes over the signature Of
"Democrat' makes this inquiry:
What return are those southern and west
ern democrats now making by their income
tax bill to those democrats of New York
who always follow the flag and keep step
TO the music" of the party organization?
Considering the course OF recent events
we venture to protest against any sjich
inquiry as the foregoing, which carries
sarcasm far toward brutality.
How far have recent developments
helped the condition Of The people OF the
south and wcst:, When the Sherman
act was br9tght ND for repeal, the dem
ocrats and republicans OF the east,
standing shoulder to shoulder, and form
Ing a controlling element in congress,
insisted that the repeal should be I'M
conditional. In other words they set
their faces firmly against any substitute
legislation based on the pledge Of the
democratic party that both gold and sill
yer shall lie the standard money of the
country They insisted and carried their
point. The Sherman act was repealed
and silver as u money metal was left
without the sustaining force Of Substi-
tute. legislation pledged i'll the democratic
platform The single gold standard was
established, and with it the prostration
of business, the decline of property val
ues and the fall of prices. This was the
first gift of the united east to the south
and <West-the gift of highWaymen TO
their victims.
The brutal sarcasm of The Heralds
correspondent would have q deeper
meaning if the east had not thus far
seized and appropriated by far the
largest share of the results OF legislation.
,Mugwumpery Will have to put curb on
It's ambition.

Of democrats. and especially southern
democrats. Fortunately, congress has
sided with our brother Americans in Ha-
wall to the extent of leaving them to set
tie their own problems. Any other policy
would have been a blow to civilization,
and Mr.. Gresham doubtless realizes by
this time that his fellow countrymen take
this view of it.

The Democratic Law.


From The Wilmington Messenger
If Cleveland had told the people plainly
clearly-without circumiocution or cun'
ming phrases formed to mislead or perpleA
that if elected he. would pursue the very
policy he has in all particulars. we verify
believe that he would not have received d
single southern electoral vote. He planted
himself squarely, unreservedly. openly, de-
Hberatey, after fully considering me mat
ter. upon the Chicago platform. Ihat IS
the plain law that binds him. Any failure
to honestly, fairly maintain that law is a
betrayal of his promise. 1t matters not IN
ten or done prior to 1892, that does not in
the least degree exonerate or relieve t!'m
env hint of reservation, 10 the great funda-
mental principles cnunciated at Chicago,
ard that binds every loyal and genuine
democrat until in convention of all the
states the law of 1882 is either superseded
or changed That is the way we look at 1t.
That is what we believe.

Antiquity of Wire.

The manufacture of wire is Of very an
cient origin. 1t has been traced back to
the earliest Egyptian history. Specimens
are in existence which can be proved to
date to 1900 b. G. The Kensington mu.
scum has a specimen which was made in
Minera 800 years b. G. Ancient literature
contains many references to wire. From
the ruins of Herculaneum metal heads
have been exhumed on which the hair is
represented by wire. There is no question
that this ancient wire was made by ham
mering out the metal, which was always
bronze OF of the precious group This held
true of all made previous to the fourteenth
century, during which the process Of form
ing wire by drawing or elongating the
metal by forcing it through a conioal ori-
fee, made in some substance harder than
the metal treated, was invented.-Cas-
