THIS YEARS FAILURE.

What promised to be profitable
season for the Delaware peach growers
has turned out most disastrously, and
there are few, If any. who are satisfied
with the seasons earnings. In many
instances the income was less than the
outlay, and from all parts OF the peach
belt complaints are heard. Year by
year the peach belt has been drifting
southwark and westward, and the
profits have been dropping lower cor
respondingly.
Unless there is change in the nat
ural conditions which now combat
peach culture, the growers of Della
ware will be compelled to devote
themselves to some other line of hor-
ticulture. Their means will not stand
these repeated failures OF the crop.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
u Hung cHANG,s MANIFESTO.

II HUNG CHANG'S MANIFESTO.
There is very much mater for reflec-
ton in the interview which the Chinese
Viceroy arranged for the purpose Of
formulating what is really a message
TO the American people. That he chose
this form of communication proves
that he recognizes, what indeed is ex-
plicitly recognized in the course of the
interview that public opinion is the
real ruler of this country and that the
direct appeal to il is through the press
To the reader of the interview Il is
plain that the foreignness of the speak
er Is much more than matter Of Ian
guage. He is sometimes barely intel
ligible because his ingrained and in
yeterate way of thinking is so far re-
moved from our own. The foreignness'
OF this discourse recalls John Stuart
Mills praise OF the study OF the classi-
cal languages. He commended it upon
the ground that the Greeks and RO-
mans were so different from us that to
read their literatures was to give us a
fresh point of view without being, as
some remote Orientals are, so differ
ent that the study of lifetime is ne
cessary to enable us to understand
them"
Remote as the talk is, il is interest
ing and suggestive, especially in what
he says about the relations between
China and ourselves. What could be
Queerer, more upsetting to ones stock
notions, than to hear the representa-
tive OF a race the very name of which
is a synonym for isolation and exclu
siveness pleading for a larger libert.
Of communication between China and
the rest OF the world, and especially
for a more liberal hospitality towards
Chinese immigrants and residents in
America? Doubtless Ii is far too pro
gressive to be typical of his race. II
may be the only Chinaman of high
rank who would venture to take this
view. But that any Chinaman should
be able to take il is a surprising proof
/ that he world moves, even in its most
immobile regions.
The Niceroys argument in favor of
i the admission of the Chinese to free
| competition in this country is econom-
| ically sound enough. We dissent
from its conclusion because the ques-
ton of Chinese immigration is oI

Of economies. but also a question OF

as a producer. We regard him no
merely as a producer, but as a maI

cally advantageous. With this viev

THE ARKANsAs ELncTInN


We do not see the wisdom of evad-
ing or belittling the lesson Of the Ar
KANSAS election, as some of the
Northern and Eastern papers are in
clined to. In its way it has as much
meaning as the Vermont election. and
II is unfortunately to a marked extent
an Offset to that. Both are agricul-
tural states Each has for a long time
given a heavy majority to one party,
the Democratic In Arkansas and the
Republican in Vermont. Each has been
the field Of special effort to increase
that majority, and in each the effort
mas been notably successful. The one
most important difference is that in
Arkansas there is much evidence Of
corrupt dealings with the returns,
which is not charged or even suspect
ed In Vermont. But the possibility OF
that kind Of political warfare is one
or the elements in the problem pre-
sented in number Of Southern states.
where it is likely to produce results
IKE those secured in Arkansas. Nor
must it be set down to simple demor-
alization of the majority party. 1t is
an evil that has in those states been
practiced by each party in turn when
the chance offered. It has, moreover.
in the minds of a large part of the
community at present the excuse that
II is necessary to preserve white su-
premacy." That does not change the
nature of the crime, but it affects
mems views of il, and makes them ca
pable of tolerating it or even sharing
in 1t without that conscious degrada-
tion which is one of the worst cOnse-
quences Of wrong action.
IL Is probable that in November, in
the national election, where the gov
ernment of the state is involved, the
sound-money vote of Arkansas may
be stronger than It appears from the
election OF Monday. But it will not
change the result in that state. and in
other Southern states where the state
and national elections come at the
same time, it is likely that the aues-
tlon OF white supremacy will have
as much influence as it had in Arkan-
sas. We do not see why Arkansas
must not, in fact, be taken as a pretty
lair type OF the more pronounced
Southern community, or why we can
hope In November for any different re-
suit in comunities Of that type. We
regard that prospect as extremity un-
fortunate.-New York Times.
Evening journal., 1896-09-12

and we reject the inference Of the Vice
roy that we ought notwithstanding 10
welcome IT so long as IL Is ec0n9ml-
cally advantageous.
But upon one point we must confess
that the Viceroy is entirely in the right
and that we are entirely in the wrong.
Even if the Chinese immigration had
menaced our political constitution or
our social order, which it never did,
we should not have been justified in
breaking our solemn treaties with
China as we have repeatedly and
shamefully done The in treatment of
the Chinese on the Pacific coast has
been outrageous and dastardly The
Viceroy gives as one of his reasons for
not returning to China by way Of San
Francisco that he is ashamed TO meet
his countrymen who have heretofore
petitioned him to protect them in their
treaty rights and whom he has failed
to protect. How much more ought
Americans to be ashamed when they
consider that IL is against their cruel
ty and their perhdy that n Chinese
Nicoroy has been unable to protect the
Chinese in Americai-New York
Times.

Vanity of savaees.

Among the Arecunas both men and
women encourage personal vanity 20 an
extraordinary degree and pass the greater
part OF the day decorating their naked
bodies with all the colors they can obtain
These they prepare from different fruits,
that of the cusarapeu producing a bright
scarlet and thSbark of the cuare deep
black. Around the wrists, forearms and
ankles the women wear bracelets made
from the teeth of wild animals, and they
paint the legs breasts and last, but not
least, the faces. The designs arc often
artistic and enable them to conceal thoir
ages more successfully than all the modern
lotions, powders and "blooms Of youth ="

"By Association

A Boston paper tells story Of two la
dies who move much IN society, but who
are troubled by an inability to remember
names One day they received a call from
a Mrs. Wheeler, whom they liked very
much. On her departure the mother said:
"Now do let US try to remember her
name, because we shall meet her at Mrs.
Blanks tea, and we shall want to speak to
her. -
'Oh, have an ideap' said the daughter
"Her name is Wheeler, and there are the
Wheeler and Wilson sewing machines, you
know. All we have to do is 30 remember
sewing machines, and the name viii come

a head you have my dearp'
The two ladies went to Mrs. Blanks
tea. Mrs. Wheeler was there too. The
mother was The first to meet her. She
stepped up to her with bland smile and
said cordially;
"Why, how do you do, Mrs Wilcox"
Soon after the daughter met her and
with equal affabllity saluted her:

ToLERATIoN AND ARGUMENT.

The Sussex Journal is already be
ginning to make comparisons of the
personnel Of the silver wing and tn
golden wing, of the Democratic party
For instance, It says:
They tell us that all the brains In
the Democratic party are in the goldcrat
wing This does not hold good as to
Delaware, any more than 1t does TO
any other state in the Union. Four
the five state judges are free silver
men. Our Attornoy-G General is an out
and-out free silverite. Nearly all the
county officers of the state are for the
white metal II will be unfavorable
TO the gold men to compare faces both
as to forces and standing. The bolto
Gratis, who If they were called by their
correct names would be known as Nc
Kinleyites, are really Republicans at
heart but without stamina enough 10
declare themselves as such.
We are sorry to see our contempo
arary assume such an attitude. while
not intimately acquainted with the in
dividuals composing the sound money
we do know and can truth
fully say, that in New Cas-
tie county hundreds OF men who
refuse to be bound by the Chicago Con
vention are intelligent and good men
whose Democracy has never bee
questioned. Every one OF them viii
vote the state ticket and help to de
feat both Addicksism and Republican
ism in Delaware. Then why abuse
them because they follow the dictates
of conscience in the matter OF nationa
politics? They have a perfect right
their opinions, which are backed by
honesty and intelligence They are
open to argument and conviction, but
certainly their character and numbeis
should exempt them from yitupera
ton and abuse at the hands OF that
part OF the Democratic press a
the state which is supporting the Chi
cago nominees.
Common sense should teach us thss
vote for the Democratic state tick,s
at a time when the very foundation a
the law of our little commonwealth Is
involved in the struggle, is highly de
sirable, and that any effort which has
for its object the application OF the
party lash to men who will not he
driven to the support OF the Chicago
nominees and platform imperils ths
party's chances OF continuing in con

his own way. but that there is not a
worse disruptionisi in Delaware, when
self-intefst or revenge demand the
sacrifice of the interests Of that party
upon which he has inflicted himself,
and which is about to rid itself of his
unwelcome presence and debauching
influence.
What he regards as polite conoes-
sions may give certain regular Repu1-
lican nominees hundreds OF Addicks
votes. but his own nominees will not
get any regular Republican votes in
return. The regulars will hold their
own in New Castle county, and the
worst that Addicks can do is to play
the butcher and slaughter-house game
against them. They have strength
enough in Kent and Sussex counties
to defeat his best-laid plans, and when
he comes out Of this fight he will be
convinced that the people Of Delaware
do not want him, and that the true
Republican party of the state Will not
have him.
There is a corrupted electorate which
has arrayed all honest citizens against
him, and down in Washington there
is a vacant chair which he could
empty but which he can never fiji.
All that is left to do is to follow the

A.Tittle story, With Sequel. of sbern
Dealing With Eeiehhor.
There is at least one man I'm New Yorl,
whois convinced chat it docs not t,,,- To be
too smart. lie is the owner of one of two
brick houses standing side by side in a
street west of Central park Not MANY
nor chs ago there were two vacant lots
where the houses now stand The owner
o. one of the lots decided to build. When
che walls Of the new house were about
completed, the owner Of the adjoining lot
decided to follow his example He employ.
ed q surveyor to stake out the house. The
surveyor discovered that the walls of the
house In course Of erection on the other lot
extended just one inch over the property
line. He informed his employer of the
fact who Immediately communicated with
the owner of the property, demanding an
exorbitant sum for the property acclden-
tally appropriated.
The owner Of lot No. / did not prove a
complocent victim to the extortion. He at
once gave orders to have tho offending wall
torn down ard rebuilt. The other man,
rather disappointed at being a victim Of
his own avarice proceeded with the crec
tion Of the second house, building his wall
close against that of the first house erected.
When the second house was all completed
the owner moved in. A few days afterward
he was dumfounded TO receive notice
similar 10 the one he had sent out himself,
demanding the same amount as he had
named, the reason being stated, "The walls
Of the house you have Just completed and
are now occupying extend one inch oveE
the property line on my property" He
employed a surveyor again and found that
the statement was only too true. What
had happened was this: The owner Of the
first offending wall, when he had had 1t
torn down, had, with deliberation and
malice aforethought, caused the wall to be
rebuilt one inch on his own side Of the line,
realizing that the second house would prob
ably be built close against the first. There
was choice Of two things for the owner
of lot No. 2 to do--either TO move out O.
the house in which he had just got settled
with his family and have it rebuilt or te
pay the amount demanded for the one inch
of property. As he had set the price him
self, he felt that there was little use In tax
ing it TO the courts. He accordingly paid
the price demanded and received deed for
one inch Of land York Press
