Consul Baker OF Buenos Ayres, in
report on the trade of the Argentine
Republic, in which the United States is
outstripped by even so small country
as Belgium, relate that he is in frequent
receipt of inquiries as 10 the "peculiarl-

with tine accession, in late years, of

The Baltimore Sun, which has not
hesitated to speak out plainly respect
ing the tactics of Senator German and
his 50 called conservative allies who
have held back and McKinieyized the
Wilson bill insthe Senate, says in Fri
days issue:
The Democratic majority in the Senate
is merely nominal. Half dozen or more
Democratic Senators, elected as such and
representing Democratic states, are so
warped ny their personal ambitions and
interests, SO poisoned by their dislike and
jealousy of the President, and 50 tainted
with McKinleyism, that they are no better
than assistant Republicans, and By that
name they should be called and known.
They are not TO be depended upon when
fundamental Democratic principles and
policies are at stake, or the fultilment OF
the most solemn pledges of the Chicago
platform is in question. That
disaster is imminent is not TO be denied.
The warning signal has already been
ho.sted. The only way TO avert that
danger is to take up the vital question Of
tariff reform, in accordance with the
promises made at Chicago, and deal with
it promptly and expeditiously- the
free list to what it was in the bill which
passed the House-and do this quickly
not after Senator Germans threatened

W. |. Laidlaw, the man whom Russell
Sage used as life preserver to shield
his own person when Norcross threw
his murderous bomb, was Friday
awarded $4,000 damages by a con-
siderate jury. Sage has moved for new
trial, holding, possibly, that the award
is excessive for the involuntary service
rendered. Norcross was famed for life
by the explosion, while the parsimonious
millionaire escaped unharmed. Tie
pnblic may be disposed to rate the life
of such man as Sage at considerably
less than $4,000, but they will be glad
to see Laidlaw get the money all the
same.

This IS a specimen Of The cheap wit
and short memories Of some Of our ex-
changes. It ought not to be a severe
strain upon the 5gail matter Of even
metropolitan editor to recall that the
peach crop Of this Peninsula was total
failure no farther back than year before
last. There may have been few very
small lots shipped that year, but we feel
safe in saying that, right here in Will
mington, there were many families who
did not even taste Delaware peaches
during the season Of 1892. The failure
of the crop was so nearly complete that
we can find no record of carload ship
ments. And this was the fourth season
Of practically total failure; We mean. all
over the peach growing region-therc
have been more frequent failures Of the
crop which did not involve the whole
Peninsula. The others were, in 1868,
when only 90 carloads Of peaches were
shipped over the Delaware railroad; in
1873, when the shipments totaled $50
carloads, and in 1881, when only rs car
loads were sent to market. In fair
season this Peninsula markets 5000 car.
loads, while in 1875 the shipments ag-
gregated 9,072 carloads. We could bet

thousands of our farmers, were it not
for the accompanying ignorance which
they display.
