DIeksr nln.l nstIrs.

There comes a time in the life OF al
most every public man when he is no
longer useful to his party or to the
people. Some men maintain the conf
doncs Of their party friends and the
respect Of the public until death removes
them. but the percentage is exceedingly
small
Thousands Of men enter politics with
clean records, but few pass through the
corrupting influences Of tho practical
politics Of the present DAY without being
smirched to greater or lesser degree
We ses il all around us, aud rub elbows
with it every day in the year.
Men ascend to power on the strength
Of public confidence. When they have
ruthlessly betrayed that confidence they
seek to retain power by means Of cor.
rupt practices at the primaries aud at
the general elections. They succeed for
q time, but finally the party becomes
tired OF carrying the burden and revolts;
or, II the party be not bold enough TO
ASSERT itself at the primaries for its own
salvation. the people, by the excuse of that
sovereign will, which Ia corrupt polity's
most effective purgetive, hutl down to
defeat both the burden and the party
which ls growing beneath It.
Men who have become selfish. sordid
and arrogant, and who sink party princi
pies for self interest, may thrive for
time, but the day OF retribution will
come just as surely as sunrise, and the
party or person who olings to the skirts
OF the politician who is the subject Of
public wrath, must suffer with him.
Receiver Of Taxes John T. Dlckey 10
one who has passed the stage of party
and public usefulness We hear his
name mentioned In several connections
Il Is said that he desires to succeed him
self as county tax gatherer not satisfied
with six years tenure worth from
$40. 600 10 $50 900 to him It Is said that
he will run for the shrlevaity nomination
and. at the last moment throw up his
support to a man OF his own liking Nor
is this ALL He is credited with desiring to
succeed Senator John Pyle In tho
General Assembly.
We do not know what he wants. nor do
we care Il Is enough for us THAT we
know what he will got, II he presumes TO
manipulate the primaries TO get place
upon the Ticket That Is the most
unmesoiful drubbing that was ever ad
minlstered to Democrat or Republican In
the State OF Delaware. lie cannot get
any elective ofEoe In the gift Of the
people Of this ststo or county. They
have had enough Of hin aud his methods.
Neither will It do for him TO set up
slate, for II it Is not broken by the party
it win be By ths people. The seal OF
public condemnation will be stamped
upon every Dickey collar worn BY any
Democratic candidate, from governor
down to Levy Court commissioner
John n. Dickey has fed at the public
crib long enough. He has eaten so much
public pap that be knows no other food
Ths time has come when he must retire,
and his absence viii not be materially
felt BY either the party or the poople.

We believe that to insure large profits the econo

One of the many mistakes Of the old company has been
and is that they give the Wilmington business men, their
patrons chance whatever participate in their enormous
profits
The Delmarvia Telephone Company, the other hand,
offers for sale its stock $1,000 per share (beng par with
special inducements the subscribers its system take

Giving up entirely his business, he went to Cincinnati and remained for several months under treatment of a celebrated specialist. He was after wards treated in E1mira, New York, where the cancer was twice removed, but he declares that death was prefer able to such treatment. It returned, however, and the disease seemed to be of most virulent type; the doctors af- forded absolutely no relief, the cancer spreading all the time, eating out en- tirely the partition in the nose, as well as the upper lip and gums.
 ''Sofne months ago." he says, "1 be- gan to use $. $. S., though 1 admit with little faith that it could cure me, but to my surprise, a few bottles afforded some relief.

An Advantage eous Position.

St Louis Post Dispatch.
 Recent developments indicate that the United States hold a strong hand in the diplomatic game.
 The news of the China Russia treaty bas brought out two hints which point to the easy victory ot the United States in any reasona- ble demand she may make with regard to complications on this continent in which We are inter- ested.
 The report comes from England that the government realizes the insolation of Great Britain in Flu ropean politics and is afraid of Russia in the Orient Cut off from European alliances and with the Turkish and Chinese ques- tions seething with dangers, Lord Salisbury is said to be extremely anxious to keep on friendly terms with the United States and if he can not get our active aid to retain our moral support. The govern ment organs in London are mak- ing plain bids for an American al lance.
 With this encouraging news from London comes a report from Washington that the Russian Min ister is unusually cordial in his at tentions to the President and Cab met. He has taken occasIOT to ra- mind them of the ancient friend ship existing between Russia and the United States and the substan' tial tokens Russia has given of It in the past. He has also been eX- tremely courteous to the Venezue- Ian Minister.
 This simply means that both Russia and Eng are anticlpat' ing trouble and want to keep on good terms with the United States. It means that, under tn ( circumstances, neither will stand in the way of any reasonable ob 1 ject we have in view; in fact, that both would be glad to put us un der obligations.
 Our traditional policy of re framing from entangling foreigl alliances is again sigually vindi cated We are the only people not tied up by alliances and are thus in position to gain advantage from the fears and entanglements of all the others. They are anx ious to keep us neutral and friend ly, and this disposition gives us tremendous moral power.
 The Administration has only 10 take firm and prudent course to secure all the proper ends we have in view in Cuba, Venezuela and elsewhere, without going to wal or even indulging in jingo clam or.

MARYLAND had sound money platform, and all that, and yet Maryland went Republican. Do you suppose the issuing of bonds in time of peace bad anything to do with the ground-swell?

YYn His Lip i Gone!

There is not more familiar figure on the streets of Atlanta than the man whose picture is here shown. Every body knows him by sight and it will be remembered that years ago he began to wear on his upper lip, just under his nose, small piece of court plas- ter, not larger than silver half dime; this plaster he has worn constantly, though it gradually increased ill size, as everybody knows, until it was as large as silver dollar. This man is M. NJ. Nicholson, who resides at the corner of Anderson and Curran Sts.
 It was thirty years ago, that he first noticed a tiny scale, like a piece Of wheat bran, on his lip He at frat thought it only a fever blister, but it was not long before his cheeks became diseased and painful to the touch, and he soon realized that he had fallen a victim to that most dreadful disease Cancer. It rapidly increased in size and severity, and remembering that his father had cancer when he died, and that his uncle also lost his life by this terrible disease, which destroyed his tongue, throat and left eye, Mir. Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed, and realized that his condition was more than serious.
