Mr.. George Frederick Williams, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of

his campaign with courteous and

of his opponent for the office of Gov

line in all of his addresses during the
canvass. All of his personal references
have been of h pleasant character. OF
course he has argued for his side of
the question and his reasoning has
been cogent and weighty; but it has
not beon married by tinge of partisan
bitterness. Such method of appeal.

County Division.

Inc Milford 'Herald' has an inter.
esiing suggestion to make about the
best thing for the Constitutional Con
vention to do in providing iuster rep
resentation in the General Assembly. 1t
wants to divide the State UP into five
counties. Its programme is as follows /:
But this inequality of representation
and this apprehension OF loss to Kent
or Sussex or both are two of the very
troubles to be remedled or prevented by
the coming convention, and one which
is to be hoped will be provided for In the
new constitution. How simple IL is 10
make such provision, and to avoid both
Scylla and Charybdis by what we be-
lieye would be one Of the wisest and
most statesmanlike changes in our
political organism And we throw it
out in advance az question em!nently
worthy OF the consideration of the CON
vention. Would not this constantly in
ereasing pickering and jealousy be-
tween New Castle and the two lower
counties be vastly diminished indeed,
entirely eliminated, IL we could have
reconstruction OF our divisions Of the
State SO as to make five counties in
stead of threeY Suppose, for example,
we should make ~ Wilmington county,
TO embrace all that portion of the State
between the Christiana and the arc of
Penn's twelve-mile circle; t2) New
Castle or (perhaps a better name)
kirkwood county to embrace that nor
tion OF what is now New Castle below
the Christiana; t3) Kent county to
extend from the present division line
between it and New Castle down to the
upper or northern branch of the Muir
derkill river; az Gibson county to en-.
tend from the north branch of the Muir
flerkill, 10 Lewes Cape and thence with
tine county road to Maryland line; and
t5l Sussex, to embrace all the remain
ing portion of the present territory.
BY this new division of the State into
five counties instead of three, it is be-
lieved We should be freed from county
chickering's and jealouses, and at the
same time be relieved Of the fear Of
ever being ruled by Wilmington city.
While there might DO some wisdom
in dividing New Castle county into
two counties. we see no sense in tho
proposition to divide Kent and Sussex
into three IL the city of Wilmington
were made a county by itself, we would
have four counties with the following
population according to the census of
$780, Wilmington county, 81, 43l; New
Castle county, 80, 75l Kent county,
32, 66i and Sussex county, 3S,647. If
these four counties were given equal
representation, the two lower would
have their full share; and certainly
the three rural counties would have
nothing to fear from tho one city. The
Herald's" proposition would give the
l,3ll people now living in Kent and
Sussex, three representatives to every
two for the 81, 1872 people now living in
Now Castle county. There is nothing
reasonable in such an arrangement.
Neither is it wise to attempt to dis
turb old county lines more than is alb
solutely necessary, and there is no
necessity for disturbing the bounda-
ries of Kent and Sussex.

WO1EN'S EXALTED MISSION.
Better 20 Create Good Home Than to
Excel in ANY Other Endeavor.

Certainly there is wisdom for two
young people who have sworn to love
each other, no matter whether there is
poverty or wealth, no matter whether
the days are bright Or dark, to have Il
nome OF their own, writes Ruth Ash
more discussing The Mistress of the
Small House." in November Ladies'
Home Journal Boarding-house life is
bad for women, and I do not believe
that any man has ever really enjoved it.
GOD created women to make homes
to make homes for the men they love
and for the children whom God will
send to them. And Il home must be
started at the beginning of this new life.
DO not wait for big house and many
servants, but make happiness exist in
little house with one maid as a help.
1t can be done. [ know it can. Do
not shrug your shoulders, and say YOU
do not like homework. Work is only
dlsagreeable when it is badly done, and
from washing the silver and glass to
Custlng the bric-a .brac and beating up
cake. everything may be daintlly
done and well done if you 90 about it
in the right way and with the right
spirit. You will have to be patient.
OH will certainly make mistakes, but
each mistake is one step toward success.
Burden yourself with patience, con-
sideration and tenderness; you will
need to make calls upon them often
and often. Then you will gain so much
You will be the happy housewife, the
lady of the house who has the right to
dispense hospitality and good will; the
mistress, not only of the house, but of
he heart Of your husband, because for
him you have created a home. And
that is a womanly work-a better monu-
ment 10 you, my dear, than the painting
of wonderful picture, the writing of a
great book, or the composing of a fine
piece of music. From out a home all
virtues and all great works may come.
No man ever made home. He does
not know how. The Woman's brain,
heart and hands are necessary, and a
home is such a beautiful thing. 1t
means rest, it means peace and it means
love. Make one for your husband and
let him find these three great joys i'll its
four walls.

Condition of Trade.

Ten days ago gold exports seemed
very near. But the break in cotton
which then began ripened on Monday
into collapse sufficient to justify hope
of free movement Hides have also
dropped sharply at Chicago, leather is
weaker, and the adjustment of prices to
real instead of imaginary conditions
progresses rapidly. Already lower
prices in iron have brought out some
important contracts. Labor difficulties,
though including a strike of many
Pennsylvania coal miners who do not
seem to be succeeding, are on the whole
Of no serious Importance. Money
markets cause remarkably little trouble,
considering the heavy movement of
products Cooler weather has generally
helped retail trade. and with increased
consumption by the millions the way
will be clear for better business. Al
ready payments through clearing houses
closely approach for October those OF
the best year in history, though reflect
ing in part past transactions, and new
orders are still much needed by the
great industries.-Dun's Review.

Theodore Springborn i'm Jail.

Deputy sheriff Weld arrived in the
city Of Marshfeld Sunday night from
Minnesota with Theodore Springborn
who was wanted for enlightenment and
forgery. He appeared before justice
Monday and his examination was
adjourned until Monday November 4th
and he gave bonds in the sum of $1,000
for his appearance. On Tuesday he
was re-arrested for forgery on the
complaint of Mr.. Altos Steuber. The
feeling against him in MarshfeId being
strong and bitter. his attorneys, Cady &
Cole, thought best to have him taken to
the county seat-Grand Rapids-for
safe keeping. Accordingly he was
brought to this city Wednesday after
noon and is now in Jail here. Mr..
Springborn finds himself IN a bad boat
and will probably have to serve some
time for the state before, his misdeeds
are mitigated. The way Of the trans
gressor is hard and Mr.. Springborn
probably realizes it more to-day than
ever before in his life. The thought
that he is iucarcerated in the county
building as Il common prisoner, III
which he has acted as a member of the
County Board to legislate for the
county's welfare. We feel sorry for
any young man thus situated, but
probably he has no one to blame but
himself. When will young men learn
that honesty is the best policy?"

DEATH OF TREVOR ROOD.
Pathetic Scene at the Wreck Near
rleiien.

The death of Trevor Rodd in the
collision near Mellen Tuesday morning
was most pathetic. 1t appears that
there were three trains on the road, a
work train aud two ore trains. The
one OF which Rodd was conductor was
in the middle. The work train stopped
This also brought the middle train to Il
stand-still and the engineer, knowing
there was another one close behind,
gave the signal to flag. The signal, it is
said, was either not heard or was
misunderstood by the rear brakeman
and the collision was the result. The last
seen Of conductor Rodd before the colIi-
sion he was at his desk working out his
report. When the collision came he was
pinned III such way he could not be
eXtricated. The oil from the headlight Of
the colliding engine was scattered over
the wrecked cabO6se and taking fire
burned rapidly. Within three minutes
after the accident there were about
thirty men on the scene, but they were
unable to do anything. Rodd fully
realized that he must die aid taking his
watch from bis pocket handed it out
through the window. He SAID ''give
this to my wife, poor girl, it is all [ can
send her" He also tried to remove a
ring from his finger, but failed. AS the
fire appeared nearer he asked the men
to pour water on him, which they did
Finally he said, Boys. if any of you
have revolver and will give it to me
you will do me great favor" All of
this occurred in less time, almost, than
it takes to write it. In little while all
was over, but he faced death with a
fortitude that was heroic.-Stevens
Point Daily Journal.
Mr.. Trevor Rodd, deceased above
mentioned, was brother-in-law of Mrs.
LenOre Mennet Rodd.

After H1any Days.

Holmfeld, Man, Feb. II, 1894.
The W H. Comstock Co.
Dear Sirs:-FOr y years my wife was
q martyr to that dread disease, Dyspep-
STA. Nothing relieved her; physicians
were consulted and medical skill tried
without avail. One doctor advised a
change of climate, suggesting Manitoba
as desirable place. We acted upon
this advice, coming here two years ago.
The change of climate wrought a change
indeed, but for the worse, as she was
soon confined to bed, and under the
care Of two doctors, who asserted she
could live bat a month longer. \
neighbor came to see her one day who
had been reading your Almanac. She
told her of the testimonials she read in
it, of tie great amount of good they
we're doing, and advised her TO try a
box Of DR. Morse's Indian Root Pills
She did so, was relieved, kept improv-
ing. and is now able to do house work,
and continues the use Of MOTse's Pills
\ ours gratefully,
GEO. Dunn.
