RECENT LITERATURE.

Every Delawarean, especially those of
the two upper counties, will read with
vast interest In Buff and Blue" being
certain portions from the diary of
Richard Hilton, gentleman of Haslet's
Regiment of Delaware Foot in our
ever glorious War of lndepend-
ence." It is written by a Delaware
man, George Bridges Rodney. by name,
of New Castle. Other people not Della
wareans will read the story, too, be-
cause it is written in fresh. bold, Wig
orous style that is very taking, and its
action never lags for a moment. His
battle descriptions are brilliant and not
unworthy of Stephen Crane, and a
number of celebrated events and scenes
are vividly told by the clever young
novelist. He follows the fortunes of the
Delaware troops through the revou-
tion until after Yorktown they dis
handed "a little group of sixty-four
strong, of whom it was said They
were the crack troops Of the army. p"
He also tells the story of how the Del
aware soldiers won their sobriquet of
sBlue Hens Chicks" The descriptions
Of New Castle, and especially the Della
ware river in the opening chapter are
particularly to be appreciated by those
who are acquainted with them. In con-
junction with it's historical interest,
there is a pretty love story running
through the chapters. which terminates
happily as all good love stories should.
No collection of colonial stories would
he complete without In Buff and
Blue" and to one not having such a
collection, it would be good story
with which to begin on. The publish
ers are Little, Brown & Co., Of Boston.

i 1t is the biggest joke yet on the
populist party, half of whose candi-
dates for Office are lawyers, that while
it was busy bowling and scratching
about what it was going to do against
trusts, corporations and "plutes," the
greatest anti-corporation and anti
trust victory ever gained in the courts
of the Unitel States has been gained
by a Kansas republican, Joe Ady,
While the pops were doing the howl
ing, a republican without any noise or
buster sailed in and broke up all the

The winds of discomfort are still
soughing through the whiskers of the
late Senator PETER. He can see no
beauty in the sunlight, no glory in the
dawn, no joy in the cleaning, His
s., 900 a year salary stopped as suddenly
as it commenced, and the world is to
him barren waste. He groans and
walls over the wrongs of the oppressed
and sheds tears for those who have not
been smart enough to get fat office.
PETER is fraud, nice, respectable,
decent old fraud of course, but an old
fraud just the same. He has for years
howled about the woes and the wrongs
of the oppressed people, and said that
the millionaires and the wealthy folks
ought to''whaCk up''in some way with
tho downtrodden serfs. PETER got
100000 for his term in the senate, and
in addition to that got all his relatives
, jobs at the expense of the government.
Did he "whack'up" with any one? Nit.
And he isn't going to divide, either.
PETER believes that PETER should keep
all lie gets The plutocrats believe the
same doctrine. The difference is that
the plutocrats openly declare their be-
lief in their doctrine. PETER is rich
now, and yet he dosen't divide. There
fore, we say he is fraud. Not because
hedoesn't divide, for he would be a
fool if he did, but because he advocates
: one thing and does another. And right
down deep in his heart PETER knows he
is fraud, just as every other man
: with sense knows it. 1t is almost time
: for him to ring off on his hypOcrtical
les.-Lawrence Journal.

noIitiCS a Disease.

OF all the diseases that humanity
is heir to none seem so fatal as thirst
for Office. A man may be an excellent
farmer, mechanic or merchant, but
let him get a taste Of public office and
business is thenceforth matter of sec
ondary Importance to him. Heappears
to feel that he has served his appren-
ticeship as a tiller of the soil or as a
business man and that the world owes
him living; he feels that his friends
who helped him to the first office are
his meat, and must bend all their en-
engies in his behalf for the remainder
of their lives, otherwise they are trai-
tors. He never feels grateful for past
favors, but if he gets what he is now
after, he will step aside and give his
friends chance. Don't you believe
him. If you help man in political
way once, make up your mind that he
feels he has mortgage on you for the
rest Of your natural life: he may ask
your support the first time, after that
he demands it, and he will think ten
times more of your neighbor who fights
him from the word go, than he will of
you, if you after having helped him to
secure nine Offices in succession, but
''go back on him." and conclude to
help boost some one else when he comes
up for the tenth favor at your hands.
Politics is a queer disease.

Trusts.

NJ The antitrust law of 1890, a mea-
sure of John Sherman's, having been
sustained, and made effective by a de-
cision of the U. S. Supreme Court,
marks another score to the credit of
that much-maligned statesman. The
decision is that the antitrust act OF
1890 is applicable to railroads, and its
practical effect will be the bringing OF
all railroads, with their traffic rates
whether passenger or freight, within
the Jurisdiction Of the interstate com
merce commission. 1t is confidently
expected that the decision will cause
speedy dissolution of all the traffic
associations in the United States.-
