IT WAS THE COWS FAULT.

An Irish laborer, who was somewhat
new to his work, was blowing one day,
and the burrows being uneven, the farmer
told him to look at something at the
other end of the field as guide.
That COW ut the gate" said he, ''is
right opposite us. Now, work straight
for her.
'Right you are, sur" says Pat.
Coming back, Later on, the farmer was
quite Mortified to find the pillow had been
travelling zigzag all over the field
'How is this?' said he. ''What have
you been doings"
"Shure, sur" was Pats reply. 81 did
what you told me. / worked straight for

That the geysers of the Yellowstone
Park are losing in activity is vouched for
by W. w. Wylie, who has spent more
years in the National park than any other
man. Mr.. Wylie, in dispatch to-day
from Helena, says: ''As compared with
sixteen years ago, l should say there is
not more than one-half the activity in the
upper basin. l believe there will be few,
if any, geysers in fifty years from now
The Yellowstone Park geysers are the
greatest, in number and activity, in the
world, those of Ireland and New Zealand
being insignificant in comparison with
the larger ones. In the whole Yellow
stone region there are hundreds of gev-
sers, the principal groups being situated
in the "upper basin,'' along the Fire

The Pomona Grange of Kent county
held its quarterly meeting at Camden
on Thursday. There was a large at
tendance from the Oranges at Smyrna,
Dover and FELTON,, as well as from the
Camden Grange.
In the afternoon w. 7. Case, Of Eel
ton, talked about the family apple Or
chard, exhibiting specimens Of such
varieties as he could recommend
e. H. Bancroft, Of Camden, dis
cussed apple growing for market. He
said that the apples to grow for profit
should be q few kinds, those the best
adapted TO our soil and climate, With
these and proper cultivation, which
should include thorough tillage, heavy
manuring and constant spraying, the
valuable market varieties can be grown
as cheaply as in any part of the United
States. Our nearness to the points Of
shipment to Europe gives us an advan-
tage over western and southern apple
regions.

MIR. Hams Lecture.

The lecture of Hon. H. W. J. Ham
in the interest of the Presbyterian
Manse was a succese to the latter, in
terested parties working up a good
house and netting SAG above expenses.
Those who heard both the Georgia
Cracker" and the first lecture, ''The
SnOllygOster in Politics" thought the
last night fell considerably short, as
lecture, of the first. He is an inimit-
able stOry-teller and thus provocative
of merriment and laughter, but in his
defence of human slavery--one man
owning the soul and body of another
and denominating it ''the best system
of labor that had ever been devised"
he failed to set forth VIM. H. Grady
correctly, the latter coming into ma
tional notice at one bound because he
dwelt forcibly on the "New South,
viz: the rapid development of the
Southern States since the emancipation
of slavery, claiming a much greater
progress than under the system that
Mr.. Ham portrayed so eloquent
Mr.. Ham lectured in Middletown
Thursday night. The 7rnscript thus
refers to it:
"The lecture on Thursday evening
was not a success, "Red Lights and
Warts" drew less than a twenty-five
dollar house which was too cool for
comfort, the lecturer was not enthused
and the lecture was cut. Although it
was disappointing and Messrs. Boyer
and Davis, of Smyrna, who brought
the Hon. H. w, J, Ham here, were out
of pocket from S25 to $40. The extra
services at the NJ E. Church and too
many entertainments explain the small
attendance. But the Transcript wishes
it could impress upon not only its
readers but the general public the
patriotic sentiments of the speaker.
The "danger signals" that he especi-
ally emphasized were "a the growth
of corporate powers, (2) unrestricted
immigration, (3 a partisan press, and
(4) the ignorant voter, The pestiferOus
politician, the new woman, and "sass-
ciety' were among the warts" men
toned"

Two Opinions.

The political papers are beginning to
indulge in statements peculiar to Della
ware politics, conditions on which they
DO not wish too much light turned.
The Detawareap in its last issue had
the following:
"The present year will be an import
ant one in the State and Nation. A
great political battle will be foight in
both. A President of the United
States will be elected, In Delaware
Governor will be chosen, Legislature
(Which il the ridiculous claims Of Col.
Dupont are ignored viii choose
United States Senator a Representa-
tive ia Congress, q number Of county
officers, and what is perhaps of equal
Importance to ALA convention to pro-
pose a new Constitution. The cam
paign in this State, il is already given
out, is TO be conducted by one OF the
great parties on peculiar lines. The
popular conscience is TO be trampled
under foot, issues which usually divide
the parties are to be largely ignored,
and by one of the contestants for power
cash is to be substituted for legitimate
argument.
The Middletown Transcript of the
same date, discussing the question
uppermost in Delaware politics, said:
every county in this State has lost
thousands Of dollars in taxes, not col
lected from Democrats, since the
Rbominable assessment laws Of 1878
went into effect. There has been
enough lost and covered up to pay
every cent Of indebtedness of the State

OF being washed across to this State,
where they may infect marshes and
make them and even the salt hay a
menace to Delaware stock owners.
Mrs. Jennie P. Hellings, of Dover,

The committee on resolutions, to
which the suggestions of the officers
mad been referred, reported series of
resolutions recommending a committee
to Investigate the matter of proposed
charters for trolley roads that in the
opinion of the Grange such charters
should require the trolley companies
TO macadamize the roadbed between
the tracks and for two feet on either
side OF them, and that the rails should
be such as to allow ordinary carriages
to run over them. A committee con-
sisting of W. r. Allaband, A. N. Brown
and ?. K. Meredith was appointed to
investigate the matter.

Another Industry for Smyrna.

Shorts Landing farm will likely be
changed into an important industry.
George Mckay, it's owner, is now
erecting a large factory, 80 feet front
age, with wharfage, and will begin the
manufacture of metal to act as a sub
stitute for lead, 1t is a discovery that
has an interesting history and though
tested to satisfaction in this country,
has not been pushed extensively. Mr..
Mckay is not the patentee but as cap
italist owns one-half interest in the
enterprise.
The metal has been made to a more
or less degree in the vicinity of Balti-
timore but as Mr.. Mckay owns Shorts
Landing farm, with plenty OF sand, an
important ingredient, he looked upon
this spot as the most available. One
reason for getting so far away from
civilization is on account of the sulphur
fumes, in the manufacture of which
metal, many tons are used. Another
advantage is the easy access to city
markets via the Philadelphia & Smyrna
Transportation Company. He has
now force Of workmen making prepa-
rations and expects to have it completed
IN a month or two. The metal to be
manufactured is lighter and about two
thirds cheaper than pig lead, and will
be a most valuable article to the plumb
ing trade. He will start his manufac-
tory with about 30 or 40 operators and
will increase as the demands justify.
Mr.. Mckay has a family Of q wife
and six children and though nothing
definite is settled, will in all probability
move to Smyrna and take the John r.
Wilson house on west Commerce street

The two messages Christmas week
from President Cleveland-on in refer
ence to the Venezuelan question, the
other our diminishing gold reserve
very naturally caused lively interest
throughout the nation. While it must
be confessed that the Venezuelan mes
sage was unnecessarily warlike and irri-
tating to a ain-gloriOus nation, the
good sense of the people of both cOun-
tries is for peace and a closer friend
ship, and there is little doubt of an
amicable adjustment of affairs, with a
warning to English arrogance.
The other message about our low
treasury and the inadequaey of receipts
to meet expenditures, in a political
sense, interests our nation alone. 1t
refers only to governmental policy:
the income does not pay expenses.
The House passed bill which would
increase the receipts through duties
$40, U.UH" "f tle Senate hesitates 20
pass Al, wanting rather to open the
mints to free and unlimited coinage.
John Sherman, whose financial opin-
ions always command respect, made a
strong speech on the subject Friday.
Senator Sherman s resolution recited
that the revenues of the Government
had been reduced below its necessary
expenditures by the injurious legisla-
tion of the last Congress; that the re-
sumption fund had been invaded to
supply such deficiency Of revenue;
that such misapplicatiOn was of doubt
full legality and injurious to the public
credit, and that it should be prevented
in the future by restoring the funds to
the the sum of not less than 800, ,OOO,
900 IN gold coin or bullion, to be seq
regated from all other funds; to be
paid out only in redemption of United
States notes and Treasury notes, such
notes when redeemed TO be Fe-issued
only in exchange for gold coin or bull
ion.
It's text was the statement that the
financial trouble is clearly due to a de
dcieney in the receipts Of the Treasury
caused by insufficient revenues, the
result of unwise legislation by Dem.
ocratic Congress- He produced statis
tics Of the Treasury Department
showing that for each and every yea
from 1866 to 1898 the revenues had af
forded surplus applicable to the reduc
flon Of the public debt, while since thai
time there had heen a steadily increas
ing deficiency. He contrasted the
Mckinley and Wilson laws as revenu,
producing measures, declaring thai
under the former there was monthly
surplus OF more than one and a hal
million dollars, while under the latter
there was an average falling short O.
four millions.
The Wilson bill, declared Mr. Sher
man, has produced a deficiency ever,
hour and day that it has been IN opera
ton, and the deficiency of reyenu,
has been the primary cause Of the de
mand for gold. He contended that tn
circuit or endless chain complained Q
by the President was caused bv the de
icieRcy in the revenues, and that
continues because the deficiency con
