people, where less than two million are
in control, there is something that
needs a remedy. The Iaboring masses
are totally unconscious of their
strength. How much longer will they

This funny and instructive book tells
in a most humorous way how the
Angel of Liberty took Grover Cleve-
land from the White House in the dead
of night, and left him, ragged and hun
cry, in Oklahoma City. to tramp home.
Growers trials and fluctuations as a
tramp are most ludicrously related,
and his conversations with farmers and
laboring men about the silver question
are very instructive.
EVERYBODY SHOULD READ IT.
It contains 176 pages of laugh pro-
voking matter, and 40 full-page illus
trations of Cleveland as a tramp.

The Reciprocity Treaties.

The repeal of the reciprocity treaties
made by the Republicans with various
countries has lessened the growing de-
mand. These treaties led to a very
large export demand for farm products
and machinery in different foreign
markets, yet they were annihilated
without rhyme or reason. Our trade
particularly in flour, beef, pork, cattle
and sheep with:Germany, France and
other countries was greatly curtailed
and instead of wheat advancing in
price it sunk as low as so cents u bushel.
figure never before dreamed of.
Mechanical industries of all kinds were
at the same time greatly paralyzed,
while the national debt was greatly in
creased and poverty abounded in the
midst of plenty, scores of families lack
ing the means to buy the common
necessaries of life. The reciprocity
should all be restored.

Canned Goods Packers.

AT the annual meeting of the canned
goods packers of the Peninsula held
at the Hotel Richardson, Dover
recently, there were about fifty dele
gates present and much interest was
manifested in the business of the meet
ing.
In addition to comparing of notes
to secure basis for estimating the
amount of canned goods held in stock
on the Peninsula, the question of in
surance rates was the subject of the
most animated discussion. The esti-
mate of goods in stock is about one
sixth of what it was one year ago.
The following officers were elected .
James Wallace, president; H. P. Can
non, vice-president; G. M. Dashiell
secretary and treasurer. Delegates to
the National Convention of the packers
OF canned goods, to be held in Balti-
more, Md, February 10, were elected
as follows: @. M. Dashiell and w. r.
Assam, delegates; Charles Van Lear
and Frederick Carroll, alternates.

Monday week a constable went from,
Hockessin to Newark Del, with an at
tachment for French horse valued at
$4,000, which had been kept at the
Washington Hotel stables for several
months. Thirty farmers in the neigh
borhood had signed paper arreeino
to pay 500 each to purchase the horse
Ior breeding purposes, and after max
ldg the agreement they refused to nav
Tor the horse, fearing that there had
been some trickery 1t is alleged that
upon Investigation it was found that
each OF the men who had signed the
paper had signed a thirty day note.
ana that each was bound by the agree
ment for the full amount, $4,000.
When the constable went to the stable
for the horse, the proprietor. D. C..
Sterling, had the door locked and re-
fused to admit the constable. where
upon the latter broke open the door
and took the horse out. While Mr.
Sterling was looking for a squire the
constable took the horse to Hockessin.
and 1t Is probable that counsel will be
engaged by Mr.. Sterling to recover the
morse, which he had been keeping for
some time.

People all over the Peninsula are
complaining of the high insurance rates
which are charged them. On some
properties the rate is as high as $50 a
year premium on an insurance of $1,000.
Many say that while they would like
to have their properties insured they
cannot stand this rate. On many
buildings which have recently been
burned there was no insurance at all.
Even in towns having a good water
supply che rate of insurance is high on
account of the number of frame build
ings.

BISHOP COLEMAN A SIGNER.-Tbe

NEW DESIGNS

for making up, show no marked varia-
tiOn from what has been fashionable.
Shirts still hang plain and stiffly: cor
sages yet remain the vantage ground
for adornment that in many examples
attains the limit of extravaganza, and
it may readily be inferred that the large
sleeve is still in favor. Already lead
ing dressmakers are busted in filling
southern orders one may see in their
workrooms, yards of cotton fabrics,
tatfeta silks, ETC., and it can be noticed
that they use preferably Clark's End
cotton, since good sewing requires
good thread. 1t always comes on
black spOols and for the benefit of
ladies interested in crochet work. a
work can be added in commendation of
the Mile End crochet cotton. The
Clark Mile End Company, 442 Broad
way, New York, are advertising a book
giving very beautiful colored patterns
and directions which can be attained
by sending them 10 cents: the ireside

afforded for a selection of designs suit

The possibility of the uses of what
are known as "Roentgen rays" has
been shown in Berlin. A workman
had his hand injured by an explosion
OF gas. The wound was photographed
and a piece of glass was discovered
sticking in the bone. If one-half that
is claimed for the latest discovery be
true the work Of the surgeon is to be
greatly simplifed. Broken bones and
the existence of foreign substances in
human bodies can be detected by
photography.

According to Ambassador Bayard
and E0ery EVening, the manufactur-
ing industries tended to create mono
poles and enrich class of men so
greatly as to make them inimical to
our free institutions. Because of this
danger it is argued that the manufact-
urers should be kept poor by rendering
the business improbable. Poverty in
their estimation is necessary to the
preservation of the Republic. The
enacment of the Wilson-Gorman
tariff bill is thus explained. Had il
not been for Senators Brice, Smith
Murphy and one or two other senators.
the poverty antidote would have been
made more apparent.

A foreign journal describes a wonder
full mechanical contrivance, watch
made in Switzerland that calls out the
hours in a voice like that of a human
being. This mechanical curiosity is
the invention of one Casimia Livan,
who based its principles upon his
knowledge of the workings of the
phonograph. The case, instead of con-
tanning striking apparatus, as some of
the late costly watches do, is provided
with a Photographic cylinder, which is
fitted with a sensitive Photographic
plate. which has received the i'm
preston of human voice before being
inserted in the watch.

An experiment in coffee-growing is
to be made in the San Joaquin Valley,
OF California, which, if successful, may
mean that cOtfee-planting will become
an important industry in the great
Pacific ocean State. Col. Charles F.
Crocker, a wealthy rancher of that
region, has just secured from various
parts of Central America 200 yearling
coffee plants, and will soon have them
set out on his estate in the valley. 1t
will be at least six years before the re-
suit of the experiment can be known.
1t is said the San Joaquin Valley is
much like Mexico in climate and soil.
and there are grounds for belief that
coffee will grow there.

How IS IT?-A man is summoned to
appear before the court to give testi-
mony in case. A lawyer may call
him a rogue, scOundrel, villain, thief,
har' and no complaint is made by the
witness. If a newspaper prints an
article even rejecting on the character
OF the same individual he at once be-
gins a libel suit, Is this because he
knows that what the editor says will
be believed by the people, while the
remarks made by the lawyer cut no

STIFF SILKS

are again in order, because shirts still
stand out stitfly. Taffeta therefore is
in great demand and manufacturers of
India silks are in corresponding des-
pair. Beautiful as may be their goods,
the fashionable world does not demand
them and where figured designs ap-
pear, they are close and give body to
the fabric. Black satin is velU fre-
quent selection for skirts, not only for
day wear, but in the evening, where
pale or bright colored cOrsage becomes
greatly enhanced by snch an offset and
the prophecy is safe, that while satin
skirts will be in much demand for even
ing. For black crepOn skirts, the
same success will be achieved during

Congressman Erdman, of Pennsyl-

South and the West, predicts that the
silver craze will so disorganize both
parties that there will be no popular
election for President, and that the

would complete the work. The Della

Good Roads.

The good roads committee appointed
at the last session of the Now York
Legislature has reported in favor of
having stone for road improvement
broken in the Jail yards. This is the
plan provided for by the law which was
passed some time ago in this State.
In speaking of the matter Judge Ball,
who was instrumental i'll having the
law passed by the Delaware Legislature
expressed regret that the broken stone
is not used in improving one road at a
time, as is the case in some other
States. He thinks that if the State
road were taken up and improved first
the branch roads could be taken care
Of afterward. The worst needs are ON
the main arteries, and the result would
be much more beneficial to the farmers
and others who use the roads.
