THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.
''Truth crushed to earth shall rise again

"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again
The eternal years of God are here;
The editor of the Middletown TRAN
SCRIPT is wailiI & over the failure of
his party brethren TO elect United
States Senator. If his "advice weeks
ago had Lctn needed" all would now
have been serene. He charges Massey
and Addicks with forging the dead
lock on our assembly. This of itself
shows him to be an unsafe and partial
advisor. He boasts of his own loyalty
to party organization and boosts Mr..
Higgins superiority in integrity and
hon. sty of purpose. Oh nay! THAT
little corner of Sussex" job. Mr. Hig-
gins utter want of State pride, his
vilification of our State laws, his pre-
family in 1892 when he found the Dem
Ocrats had swept the country, and
many other things unbecoming a
United States Senator, have kept him
from succeeding himself. ID, cent men
of all part i, rrpel ime and dirt every
where, and ii is none the less filthy
wlen taruw 10y statesman or
United 5 ats Senator.
But t,is editor was once favored ty
Mr.. Higgins. Why! Let us explain:
Six Years ago he was u representative
in the General Assembly from George
town Hundred, elected as Il Charles
III. Treat man. 1t is said that he told
Mr.. Treat He was for him for United
States Senator, first, last and all the
time" Mr.. Treat himself t,ld this
writer SO. | knew better at the time,
but | would n. undeceive Mr.. Treat,
because l did not want to see him made
United States Senator, and therefore
left him s'alone in his glory"
When the Assembly met for organi-
zatipn, Mr.. Downham, this editor, was
not chosen speaker, as he thought he
would be. He subsequently told me
why; so you see know what am
writing about. 1t was settled who
was to bp made United States Senator
before any formal caucus WAS had.
Mr.. Downham we'll knows how, when,
where and by whom it was done. The
plan fixed upon was carried out to the
lei ter. The opporlune boiling of the
general caucus by a Senator elect had
its intended effect and Anthony Hig-
gins was made the accidental United
States Senator. He was not long in
rewarding Mr.. Downham with pretty
little Office in the United States Pen
sion Department. But alas! he got
bounced by "Hokey."
Now, for Mr.. Downham to say that
he Was Massey man then, is to me
ST unner. If he we've to say that he
vas a McKendree Dow nham man for
United States Senator, in case Mr..
Higgins was left at that time, he
would find many more people to be-
lieve him.
1t is singular how all the Republi-
cans loved Mr.. Addicks so before the
late election, and have been SO intense
in their hatred of him ever since.
They know without question that had |
it not been for Mr.. Addicks' money
Democratic United States Senator
would have been elected long ago.
Certainly Mr.. Higgins would not
have been in it then. SUSSEX.

Most of the discomfort in life comes from
the stomach. You'll admit that without
argument. The proof is your own stomach.
A great many seemingly different diseases
come from the common cause-a disord-
cred stomache. Coming from one cause,
it is natural that they should all be cured
by one medicine. Ripans rabules not only
cure the disease-They cure the cause
They are good for dyspepsia, biliousness,
headache, constipation, dizziness and all
troubles of the stomach. liver and bowels.

PEACH BLOSSOMS.
MRS. JEROME HARDCASTLE
CECIITON. MD.

AIwaving forest of bloom,
Pink as the rosy flush
OF some fair maiden's blush,
While the air is all perfume.
All the land couleur de rose,
Down to Chesapeake's brink,
Waves and pillows of pink
To where the red sunset glows.
Midst skies of the deepest blue
Soft clouds like banks of cream,
In the warm sunlight gleam,
And blend with the rosy hue.
From the flower laden trees
Showers of dainty pink
On beds of emerald sink,
When wakes the gentle south breeze.
No far off tropical seas
Can boast land so bright
Glowing with color and light
And glad with the hum of bees.
From, the Neac York World by request.

Prison Commissioners.

The governor has appointed the COM
mis ISL provided for by the Schur-
meier prison labor law. This measure
provides for commission of three, one
the labor commissioner Of the state.
one to be member of the board Of
managers of the prison. The two ap-
pointed are F. w. Temple. of Blue
Earth City, and T.. L. Schumacher. Of
St. Paul. The business of this commits
sion will be to determine how MANY
prisoners may be employed at any one
occupation. The law provides that not
more than Is per cent of the number Of
citizens employed in any occupation in
this state shall be set to work in the
prison. That is to say, if there arc 81
900 shoemakers in the state, not more
than 40 convicts shall be employed at
the same work. It is claimed that
under the provisions of the law all shoe
dealers and their employees can be
counted in this matter, and tLat the
commission can, if it chooses, put every
convict in the prison at work at that
industry: It is not likely. however,
that this will be done. as Mr.. Schur-
meier, the author OF the bill, is one of
three commissioners, and would oppose
it, as would Labor Commissioner Pow

The Wheat Crop of South Dakota Hit by
the Frost.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 20.-The wheat
cop of the Dakotas has been damaged
by frost.
Reports from widely scattered sec
tions are to the effect that Sunday
nights freeze was most severe one.
Tender vegetation was cut down and
oats were severely injured. Ice an
inch in thickness formed at some places
and it is reported that wheat, which
had been practically nninjured by the
cold snap of a week ago, is badly dam
aged.
One report places the damage as high
as 70 per cent This, however, is be-
lieved to be an error, as wheat frozen
down SO early in the season generally
grows up again from the roots. Corn
is believed to be ruined. There was a
heavy frost in Minnesota last night,
which was severe in the northwestern
counties. 1t cannot be known until to-
day how serious the injury is. The
frost of last week is known to have
done but slight damage.

Precautions to Prevent Spread Of Diseas
Through European Libraries.

Precautions to Prevent Spread Of Disease
Through European Libraries.
It is a fact that has been we'll demon
strated that contagious diseases may
be spread by means Of books which
have been in the hands of tho sick or
convalescing. All the eruptive mala.
dies, scarlatina and varioloid among
others, as well as diphtheria, may be
transmitted in this manner.
Throughout Europe, and especially
in England, strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to stop this source OF conta-
gion. In Edinburgh already regular
service has been organized by which
the directors of libraries are notified
each day Of the names and addresses
Of all those in the city who are Ill Of
contagious diseases. The librarians
thereupon make careful search to find
If any of their books have been lent in
any of the houses specified. When
such is found to be the case, the health
department seizes the books, which are
then either disinfected or destroyed,
according to the nature of the illness.
When book, for example, has been in
the hands Of one i'll of varioloid, it is
Immediately destroyed.
At Bradford, England, similar meas
ures are also in vogue, and an effort is
now being made to put them into
effect at London. This, however, ow-
ing to the vast and dense population
of the city, will be difficult Of accom-
plishment.
In Paris this plan will also be fol-
lowed in the near future. At present
the authorities of that city are endeav-
oring to find a satisfactory disinfect-
ant. Experiments are being made with
the vapor Of formic aldehyde, which is
produced by the incomplete combus.
ton Of methyl1ic alcohol in contact
with the air and incandescent plat
mum. This vapor, in addition to ita
antiseptic properties, is easily EN-.
ployed, and is absolutely harmless to

John Sexton was one of the younger
men among the veterans, but he had
stepped to the door that morning,
viewed the sky and faced the biting
wind, then went to cedar chest and
took from it garment that had lain
there undisturbed for many years-a
blue overcoat, soiled and faded, and
with bullet hole through the right
sleeve that hun G empty by his side.
The procession formed at the head OF
the main street, before the old church
In which the memorial services had
been held. There were memories clus-
tering about that old frame church.
John Sexton recalled some Of them.
The first call for recruits had been
made there; the fiery, impetuous
speeches, the rush of youngsters, amid
the cheers of men and the sobs OF
women. He had been among the first
to enlist, a beardle SIS boy with mans
heart, kindled with patriotic fire.
Within the same gray walls, at the
parting supper given to his regiment
the night before it marched, he had
shyly asked Hetty Plympton to be his
wife some day, and she, half laughing
and half weeping, had told him that
when he came back wearing his epau-
lets she would marry him. And he
had gone away glad and proud, buoyed

or failure so remote. Then there came
the hard discipline of the camp, the
long, forced marches, the carnage of
battle, the secret night mission. tho

career.

He Was Determined to DO as He Pleased
and He Did So.
When the conductor had looked at
the ticket and punched it he stopped
over and stuck it in the hatband of the
dignifed fat man, at which the fat
man became enraged.
Glow dare you take such liberties
with mel" he shouted. ''Who told you
to stick that ticket in my hat? Don't
and very sensitive? It's all very we'll
to be fresh with the jays, but you
haven't any right to insult me-"
He took off his hat, removed the
ticket and continued: ''You think be-
cause you're a conductor on this road
that you can get as gay as you like,
but Ill teach you that you've got me to
deal with, and I'm a taxpayer, at that.
You can't stick tickets in my hatband,
even if we are strangers and you aren't
aware of my social position"
He fumed for about an hour. Then
the train passed Albany, and the con-
ductor came around again. He took
the ticket from the hand of the digni-
fed fat man, punched it again and
once more put it in his hatband, abb
sent-mindedly.
.'See here!' the fat man roared.
Didn't tell you before not to stick
that ticket there? That's piece Of
gayness wouldn't stand from my own
father, and he's been dead five years.
I'll report YOU to the boss of the whole
road, and if he doesn't help me I'll
gamble in the stock of the company
and hammer it down so that they'll
beg for mercy"
After they passed Utica the con.
ductor repeated the performance with
the ticket and the hatband. This was
more than the dignified fat man could
put up with. He jumped to his feet,
gra bbed the conductor by the collar
and said he'd be blamed if he'd stand
it any longer.
''That's all right" replied the con-
ductor, "but it's a rule of the company.
You've either got to keep it in your
hatband or in your mouth. There is
no alternative. If you prefer it you
can put it in your mouth, leaving the
end in full view, so that l can see it as
/ pass by"
"Well,' said the fat man, stoutly-
there is nothing strange in a fat man
speaking stoutly, is there? - Well,
then, prefer to keep the ticket in my
mouth. Being free American citizen,
l am determined to do as blamed
please!'' and he kept it in his mouth
and preserved his Americanism.-N. y.
