THE political situation in Delaware
differs from any other in the Union.
The Democratic party has set the
pace for the race for third Of Il cen
turv and established the entrance
fee, /. e., a poll tax which must be
paid by all Republicans and some
Democrats. The Democratic party
has gone even further than this-it
has established the market for the
commercially inclined and any party
that meets them must comply with
the rules or lose the race.
This is fact familiar to all who
know anything of Delaware politics,
and is accepted by all who attempt
to manage a campaign. No leader
has ever succeeded who followed
other lines and none ever will. The
Hon. Geo. V. Massey has generated
losing comprehensive Hon. An
thony Higgins has led many for
Iorn hope that failed only because
the entrance fee failed to be put up,
or the Democratic prizes were too
large, and the only "Simon-pure'
victory was won under the combined
leadership of ]. Edward Addicka
and Hon. Anthony Higgins. With
out Mr.. Addick's assistance, Hon
James L. Wolcott would to-day hold
the credentials which would seat hin
in the United States senate-but
the same could not be said of Sena
tor Higgins-because there wer'
those who would and will to-day, d.
the work necessary for success which
Senator Higgins did and had a per
feet right to do.
With this condition Of affairs 81
plain, il is surprising that few Re
publican papers are attempting to fc
ment discord in their party. ]
would be expected of Democrat
papers. Yet it may be better t
know who the Judas Iscariots are s
far before the campaign, as for'
warned is generally forearmed.

The Shakers have made great hit, Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
eessful remedy for stomach tronbles ever in
troduced. It Immediately relieves all pain
aud distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are bet
Ter than so-calied touics The cordial not
ONLY contains food already digested, but is
a digester Of other foods. Rood that is not
dieested does more harm than good. Peo-
pie who use the Cordial insure the digestion
of what food they eat and in this way gel
the benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
have sent druggists for free distribution, con
tain much interesting information on the
subject of dyspepsia.

About a year ago the Town Commls-

would be compelled to pave their sidewalks
in front of their property and a great many
complied with the order and number OF
others ignored it altogether, saying there
was no law governing towns to compel
them to do so An able lawyer at the Cap

commissioners was that they could compel
all property owners to pave. Those who

will be compelled to pay for same after

The Alabama Murderer - Fifteen
Teams Entered for the Rifle Contest
Albany, Ca, Aug. 2O-Deputy Sheriff
Pelcher Of Henry county. Alabama, and
a companion named Clark were in the city
to-day en- route to Worth county to set
tie any doubt as TO the identity of Will
Williams. alias Henry Borem, who is the
murderer of Deputy sheriff McLendon of
Henry county.
Williams Is now confined in Worth jail
under sentence for misdemeanor Seven
hundred dollars reward was offered for
his arrest by the Alabama authorities,
but now that ne is captured they are try
ing to get around this. They have tried
TO get Williams by requisition, but failed
in that. Pelcher gave it out while here
that II he was satisfied Williams was the
man wanted he would turn Worth county
over or have him. Pelcher seems to be a
regular bad man from Bitter Creek, but if
he tries any of his monkey business on
Sheriff Nelson he will regret it,
With the coming of the target teams who
will participate in the prize shoot to-
morrow the city is taking on lively air.
The shooting will be at o'clock in the
morning, and will continue without inter-
ruption until each team has made its
score. The range Is in perfect condition
and the interest in the contest is great.
Col. w. G. Obear, the state inspector OF
rifle practice, is here, and will supervise
the contest Col. Varnadoe, Lieut. Col
Hopkins, Maj. Jerger and Capt Hawkins
inspector of rifle practice for the Fourth
regiment, are here. The teams of the
Valdosta Videttes, five men; Thomasvilie
Guards, five men, and Savannah Cadets
thirteen men, arrived this afternoon. The
Marietta Rifles is the last addition to
the list of companies which will partici-
pate in the contest, making fifteen teams
who will shoot for the handsome prizes
offered. Gen. Kell will arrive tomorrow
afternoon, to be present at the shoot.
