MR.. SAMUEL BANCROFT.
what the Only. Democrat Daily Of the
state Says of the Machine
Candidate.

what the Only. Democrat Daily OF the
state says of the Machine
Candidate.
(From the Evening Journal).
The approaching political campaign is
of vital Importance to the people of
Delaware. The exigencies Of the times,
marked by steady decrease in the ma
5orities of the Democratic party in this
State demand that narrow gauge lines
be departed from and that the issues be
met in broad and statesmanlike manner.
This is no time to force upon the party
men who are Objectionable to large pro-
portion of those who constitute that party.
The needs of the party require nominees
who are known to be Democrats; who have
proven themselves Democrats and who
will faithfully represent the Democratic
party in whatever positions they may be
placed. The ticket should be made up of
such men.
There is no occasion for going outside
the ranks to pick up q man for Congress
who, to say the best of him, is nothing
more or less than a ow.tariff Republican,
when there are so many tried and true
Democrats in the field for the nomina-
tion
There is no logical reason why Mr..
Samuel Bancroft, Jr., who never was q
Democrat and never will be a Demo-
crat in the full sense of the word, should
be forced upon the ticket when such men
as William Cooch, Levin. Irving Handy
and J. Harvey Whiteman are in the field
for the place. and when so many other
good. tried and true Democrats are within
easy call. They have worked untiringly
for the success of the party and its princi-
pies. They have devoted time, talent and
money to the cause which they espoused
in the earliest days of their manhood.
The most ardent friend of Mr.. Samuel
Bancroft, Jr., cannot say as much for
him He has never taken an active part
in the political campaigns, beyond posing
at one or two meetings as political para
dox-an American manufacturer who
advocated low tariff while other manufac-
turers were bowling for protection. He
has no more talent than the other men in
the field. In fact it is question whether
he has as much. There is one thing that
he has, and that is money, but the party
managers cannot expect the party to fall
down a second time and worship the
golden calf. We have no preference SO
long as the nominee is Democrat Be-
lieving that Mr.. Samuel Bancroft. Jr, is
not one, we advise Democrats not to sup
port him for the nomination. We give
timely warning before the delegate cleo
tions have been held, and before the state
convention has taken the fatal step of fol-
lowing out programme made to nominate
him, that, in any event. Mr.. Samuel Ban
croft, Jr's nomination means a Republi-
can representative in Congress from Della
ware.

flirting Big Guns at Sea.

1t is not a very pleasant experience lot
Z civilian to be upon line-of-battle ship
at sea when the big guns are being nred
with full charges of powder and shot, saws
Chums. At the conclusion of the annual
manenvers this practice takes place, and
most newspaper men, having once under
gone this trial to their nerves, take care to
leave the ship before she steams to the lati-
tude where her huge shots can do no harm.
Before the guns are discharged the decks are
cleared for action, and all the chairs in the
cabin are laid down and tied together, whilst
every bit of movable furniture is secured.
The doctor goes around, and makes sure
that every man has had his ears stopped
with cotton wool. The conclusion when the
charges are fired is tremendous, and the iron
clad quivers from stem 10 stern with yibra-
lion. In fact, the shock Of the explosion is
so great that every pain OF glass in the sky
lights is invariably shattered, and much OF
the ornamental woodwork is splintered. Ar
ter few hours of this rough play, the car
penters have busy time in making things
look preSeniable once more, for the ship
resembles wreck when she has finished
her practice Nobody likes it. The sailors
standing by the big guns sometimes fnd
th 'mselves throw all in heap across the
deck. and after an hour or two officers and
men become as black as sweeps.
where can get to be out of the way Y
asks Chums correspondent OF naval man
on one such occasion.
"As high as you cam said he; "ony
take care to grip tight hold Of something, or
you may get jerked overheard"
Perhaps The one place in the vessel where
the guns trouble the crew least is down in
engine room, which is below the level OF
the deck upon which most of the armament
is put.
Once it happened that big gun was fir
ed from spot right over the captains cab
in, which was literally adorned with pic
lures. When the conclusion came, DOM
went the pictures, much to the owners an
noyancc The captain was determined not
to see his pretty cabin spoiled.
Glow many times have we to fire that
gun ?" he a-ked an officer.
"'rhe regulations LAY eight, sir"
"Well, won't have it fred again"
VERY well, sir; what are We to do with
the charges?"
Throw them overheard
And overheard the shot went, some OF
them costing the nation probably $500 n
piece, which the captain dared not take back
with him TO port. 1t is not merely the noise
and shaking which are Objectionable, for the
smell of gunpowder pervades everything,
and soup and all kinds of food reek oil

hand March /, 1898. Of Msryland's pro-
duct 1857, 100 bushels, or 80 per cent, were

The ruins of old st. George Chapel are 1t

than many others. The SITE which is on the
lands of Col. II. b. Davenport, is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. 1t is sup
posed TO have been more elegant, hence more
costly, than others, because il was located near
where many wealthy Church-of- England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnihcence
of their houses of worship. At any rate. the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed to have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet

Gen Robert Lee once told me of an
ovation he received that touched him more
than any demonstration ever made in his
honor" said the venerable Judge White, Of
Virginia, to the Post man at the National.

S ,utheru army, the commanderin chief of
the Confederacy went To pass season at the
home of his particular friend, Z. R Cooke,
who last November ran as the Populist can
dIdate for Guvernor against Col 0 Ferrall
Alter few weeks of the most hospiIable
and elegant entertainment, Gen. Lee was
called 10 the presidency of the Washington
and Lee University. Bidding his kind
friends adieu he started for Lexington on
horse. back and alone He had gone some
miles and was passing through rather drea
~ stretch OF wooded country, when he es-

not quite certain of recognition. He went
his way little further. then turning his

came up with the General again.

Gen. Robert Lees?
"Yes, | am Gen. Lee. Did ever meet

"Then the old Confederate grasped the
chieftain's hand and with the tears stream

mind if cheer you The General assured
him he didn't mine, and there on that lone
some pine bordered highway, with no one
else in sight, the old rebel veteran with
swinging hat lifted up his voice in three ring

Southland idolized. Then both went their
way without another word being spoken"
