Saturday afternoon and evening was a
red-letter day to the members of the I'M
proved Order of Red Men. Minqua Tribe
No. s, had charge of the demonstration.
Early in the afternoon the cars were
crowded with passengers for Shellpot.
The first Regiment Band gave a musical
concert during the carly part of the after
noon. At $3.50 p. m, II. V. E4som called
the audience to order and introduced as
the first speaker, c. +. Bordner, of Lenape
Tribe No. 4, who spoke upon the origin of
the order, its social features and its moral
influences upon its members, as well us
the good it is to the community.
Mr.. Bordner paid Il beautiful tribute to
the virtue, integrity and hospitality of the
Primitive Rednen. Past Great Sachen,
Thomas Messenger, was introduced and
greatly interested the audience with an
address on the relation the order sustans
to patriotism. Mr.. Messenger was fol
lowed by the Rev. Robert Watt, D. D., of
Laurel, Del, who made an address full of
humor, pathos and eloquence. DR.. Watt
being a member Of Minqua Tribe is per-
fectly at home when among his brothers
OF the order.
After the conclusion of the speaking
supper was served in the park Two hun.
dred or more sat.down to a delicious re-
past, which was served in French style by
fire was kindled, during which Indian feat
ures were manifested.
! While the large crowd of lnokerson
were watching the Inanoeuvres Of the la.
dians around the camp fire, they heard a
tremendous yell coming from Il distance
in the old Shellpot woods. One might
have thought that some of the Indians
who roamed those hills IL hundred years
ago had resurrected and were coming back
to claim their former possessions. AS this
yelling came nearer it was discovered that
they were the scouts Of Mlnqun Tribe who
while roaming the forest had captured u
pale face, who was found astruy In The
SACRED haunts Of the Red Men
They met i'll council aud determined that
I he prisoner should perish at the stake
They tied their captive to the stake anl
piled high the fagots, beat Il drum, ,luuvel
and yelled, while the flames consumed the
victim. 1t was u source of satisfaction to
many Of the locker on, however, when
they learned that the captive was u dam.

Honest Democrats { amor Support 1t.


The above is the heading of an editorial
article in the Every Evening of Saturday,
and we place the entire article in the RE-
PUBLICAN SO that our readers may pre-
serve it in order to see how the views it
expresses now may compare with those
1t may publish during the coming CAM
paign Opinions honestly expressed may
be disregarded after policy and interest
are duly considered. But to the article,
which is as follows:
when the assemblage of wild theorists
that met in Chicago this week, in the
guise of a Democratic National ConYcn.
ton, adopted platform that disowncu
Democratic sentiment and endorsed Pop
ulism, anarehisn and imitation, it turned
its back upon the honest Democratic vot-
ers of the country, aud made it impossible
for the latter to countenance or support
its actions. That platform marked tho
parting Of the ways, and 1t Is of small i'm
portance who may be selected to stand
with the cratic young silver inllationist
Of Nebraska upon 1t, The best men i'll
the country, standing upon such u plat
form, would meet with II just reputation
at the polls.
Honest voters Of any filth; men of fix
cd, Independent convictions; men who
recognize the supremacy Of the law men
who believe in maintaining lnvlJ!dtc the
faith and credit of the nation; mcn who
believe that coin dollars should be ntrin-
sically worth one hundred cents at all
times; in fact, all men who believe in
honest politics and just regard for po-
litical principles, cannot endorse the mis-
cradle farce enacted at Chicago this week
They cannot afford to support for p.e,i.
dent any man who accepts a nomination
upon such platform.
"Fhe only hope of true Democrats, there
fore, Is in the later nomination of can
didate who can stand upon platform that
Democrat with a conscience can vote for
and support Failing in this, even Mckin-
ley would prove the lesser Of two evil,
confront ng the country"

The election of delegates to the two con
ventions took place On Saturday last and
passed OF without any uuplrlsantnc,
We hope each convention will be equally
conservative and do nothing rashly. The
election on Saturday shows that in Viii
mington the number of the Addicks adj
herents is much larger than hal been ex-
pected and 1t is the height OF folly in the
members of the county and State com
mlttec to refuses to recognize them unless
they desire to defeat the party, and thus
contribute to perpetuate the usccndency of
the Democratic clique which have SO long
controlled the Stata
1t may be sacrifice on the par, Of some
Republicans to recognize the Ad.lick5 Con.
yention in any way, but men in gong
through this world meet with many
things we do not like yet very few Of Us
are disposed to commit suicide OF That
account. Prudent men will make the
best bargain that circumstances will nj
low, and never sacrifice thcmSe!va, and
their friends because they ranno, have
everything their own way.

Tho teacher in the primary grade had
drawn the picture of II man on the black
board and stood beside it with a ruler in
her hand
'TIlis Is a rough sketch of man as we
know him, children" she said, but he
was not always thus You will be sur
prised to learn that our ancestors aimed to
stand upright, and that an erect carriage
was sought even as late as so or 90 years
ago"
There was q 1nurmur Of establishment
from the children that rather angered the
teacher.
II assure you it is absolutely true" she
said These beautiful curves in the backs
of all high bred people and the extremely
long neck and arms were practically un-
known GO years ago. We have made Won
deriul progress since then" - Chicago

to dishonor the REPUBLICAN, for we take

Will say through its columns that your

justice in correcting the Sunny Side plece.

In regards to the patrons being I'D in
arms about taxes and about children be.
ing sent home she should have looked into
tho matter Il little farther and she might
have done better correcting, The taxes
are higher but perhaps that might have
been done to pay off debt or something
Of that kind, and the children perhaps
some of them were not six years old and
caused the teacher unnecessary work or
work that is not u teachers to do. The
Others perhaps We're disobedient and did
not obey the rules. and we will truly say

What Is that to what has been in past
yearsY Lots were sent home and kept

calling her scholars all kinds of nasty

going to have their brothers to come and
fog them. Understand these were only
the poor children that were treated that
way. The two that are up In arms about
their children, no matter what they did 1t
was all right. Many times have other

Miss Moore Is beginner and very
