The Favored Farmer. of Delaware.

The sussex Republican" published at
GEORGETOWN, reviews the condition and
prospects of the farmers of Delaware in
the following cheerful vein:
The farmers have now closed their harvest
work. The wheat and oats are threshed and
the yield is very satisfactory. The hay crop
Is Tar above the average and was secured in
good condition, the weather being favor
able. The corn is looking unusually well
and should the weather continue favorable,
the crop VIII be one of the heaviest ever
grown ON the Peninsula. There is good
sprinkling of apples and pears, while in the
lower part OF the state and all south OF us
the peaches arc more promising than they
ever have been before. If the growers can
secure remuneTative prices from now ON so
as TO be paid for their trouble the hearts of
the people will be made to rejoice.
This ought to be one of the most prosper
Gus years we have ever had. Money should
be plentiful for the reason we have so much
TO sell. The fact u.s. we live in one of the
favored spots on earth, and while there are
not chances to grow rich rapidly, every one
who is not too lazy to work can easily mike
II good, honest living. Viewed from every
standpoint, we ought to be thankful, pros
porous. happy people.
This is pleasant reading, and il is true.
How much better it is for the "Sussex
Republican" to present this truthful and
assuring condition of affairs than to
follow the example of its less honest
namesake in this city, and endeavor to
belittle every item of prosperity that
tends to improve the condition of the
people.
The bowling pessimists who weep at
prosperity and hope for hard times, in
order to increase. the chances of victory
for the Republican party next year, have
no room in any community of good citi-
zens. They are human harpies, who
would rejoice at any amount of suffering
as long as 1t promised to furnish them
with political capital.

Of Democratic Clubs, the Eight that
the Republicans have got themselves
into has 80 split them up, and talscd
SO many antagonisms, that believe

Royal Intellects.

''How do royal personages compare
with ordinary mankind as regards brain
power and intellect?'' is the purport of
an inquiry from a reader of the New
York Tribune, one which has probably
been called forth by some reference to
Prince Bismarck's we'll known phrase
about "Austria's imbecile archdukes,"
in connection with the recent death of
the old uncle of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph.
To this, reply is made that, as gen.
eral rule. the intelligence of the
''anointed of the Lord" is not above the
average Of that of ordinary mortala
Paradoxical though it may appear,
brains are not needed in any superabun-
dant quantity to direct the destinies Of
great and powerful nations, and ancient
as we'll as modern history teaches that
the most successful rulers have been
persons of mental caliber below rather
than above the average, whereas those
monarchs who were exceptionally gift
ed have invariably shown themselves un-
fitted to administer the destinies of the
people subject to their control.
This may be explained by the fact
that dullness usually goes hand in hand
with caution, which is very desirable
quality in ruler, while genius is often
both impulsive and impracticable.
