A stake Demanding Fair Game.


With such campaign as that which
confronts us it is OF the utmost impor-
tance that the Democratic party be most
clrcumspect 10 It's selection Of cal didAtes
for public favor. Never In the history
OF the party In Delaware has there been
a situation demanding more careful
generalshlp. for the attainment Of greater
ends. This is a time when Individual
preference must give way to party vel
fare and when those men who are In the
habit Of manipulating the primaries to
suit themselves must pause and consider
whe ;her 10 would not be better for all
concerned to conduct those primaries
with such degree Of fairness that the
defeated candidates can have no reason
able excuse for holding back In the traces
and sulking when they should be in the
field and working assiduously for the
election OF the successful asplrants for
party and public favor.
When we consider the great party and
public interests involved in the ap-
preaching election the necessity for that
spirit Of fairness which is conducive to
perfect harmony becomes Ell the more
apparent.
We have q governor who has vested In
him an almost unlimited appointing
power the proper exercise of which has
a wonderful influence for party and

This is political stake worth striving
for. The disruption of the Republican
party may suggest to unscrupulous
politicians who have friends to serve and

railroads furnish the means to develop
them. The limitless iron ore deposits OF
the Penokee and Gogebic Iron Ranges

attention, as their quality is unsurpass-

The Mullen Plant.

We stopped to look at the downy con-
tent OF that sober plant, the MULLEN.
Many plants had the central leaves fold
ed continuously one about another until
sort OF large, gray green bud was
formed, and in one of these buds bee
was taking an afternoon nap, snugly
sheltered from the air, which was grow
ing somewhat chilly. We thought that
any prudent insect might find q COM
Portable winter home by asking the
mullen to open its velvet leaves Just q
little and then to fold them tightly
around the wanderer! And while we
were speaking q bluebottle fly went
