CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE JOY OF CANOEING.

This graceful and feline structure. the
consummate expression Of the race
which produced it, is, of all watercraft,
the best adapted to the delights of
Summer holiday. A boat can in no way
compare with 1T, except for family part
les, some of whose members are apt to
wear a forced smile from the moment
of embarking until they find them
selves again on dry ground. A boat is
clumsy at the best of times. 1t is me
chanical and formal. 1t demands also
a cen.ain depth of water that the keel
may not scrape and the oar-blade
splash helplessly. IL cannot explore
those furtive, secluded streams where
the flowers may be plucked from both
banks at the same time, where the tall
ferns lean over in COOL green arches
and The world of other people is quite
shut out. In fact, just where a great
many people, under propitious circum-
stances, would most want to go the
boat cannot take them. But Just here
Is the canoe most at home. In the ca
noe, not only the passenger, but the
paddler is permitted to lounge. The pas
senger sits luxuriantly as on a couch.
The paddler may kneel or sit up as
stiffly as in a boat if he wishes: but,
on the other hand, he may sit low on a
cushion, with anOthOr cushion at mis-
back. and dip his blade in the LATEST
manner imaginable, yet make very
creditable progress all the dime. When
even such light effort becomes like the
grasshopper, he can lie back at his post
and loaf or dream as deliciously as if in
a hammock swung beneath apple trees
Such advantages as this what Summer
punt can offer?In the canoe, the paddieI

There is nothing to divert her attention
from the skillful fashion in which he
wields his paddle. Her business is sole

Mr.. BOYCE'S DECLARATION.
STRAIGHTFORWARD MANNER IN
WHICH HE DEFINED HIS VIEWS
ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

Hon. William Boyoe is now on the
bench and removed from active partici-
patton in politics. Consequently no
harm can result from telling about an
aOtual happening connected with the
last campaign.
BOyce was chairman Of the D1mOcratic
County Executive Committee of Sussex
county, and having both gold Demo-
Gratis and silver Democrats to deal with
and reconcile, he was walking a very
narrow line between the two camps.
One day, shortly before the election,
Mr. Boyce was crossing the green at
Georgetown when he was accOsted by a
rural Democrat, VINO was an ardent sill
yer man, and yet who did not concede
to any either man The right to think for
himself.
'See here, VIII, / want to ask you a
question:" said the rural silverite.
Some tell me that you are a gold man;
others that you are a silver man, and
Others that you are a financial Polly
McNatt. / said l didn't believe it, and

I got the opportunity / would ask you
about it and to get you TO define your
position"

these things have also reached my ears

CHINESE PREVENTIVE OF RABIES
Eating the Liver of the Dog RECON-
meDdcd as a Cure for the Rite.

Eating the Liver of the Dog RECON-
mended as a Cure for the Rite.
A French missionary in China wit
messed recently how two of his carriers
were bitten by a rabid dog and was very
much worried about it, says Modern
Medicine. Several Chinese who hap
pened to be there told him that his
worry was absolutely uncalled for, since
they had an undoubtedly safe preven-
tive against the poison of rabid dog
taking effect, and to prove the assertion
five Cinnamon who had been bitten in
March of last year by mad dog were
presented to the missionary. He found
that Cinnamon SEt of the raw liver of
n mad dog after being bitten. and if
they partake of this within given time
nfter the accident. it is said they will not
be subject to hydrophobia. tits curious
that Plinius in his natural history rec
ommends eating the liver Of q mad dog,
if bitten, as raw as possible, and they
who could not swallow the liver raw
should have it cooked and drink the
broth therefrom. 1t is not positively
known whether this remedy is efiica-
cious, but it appears to be worthy of
investigation, particularly since this
seems to be the actual beginning of the
isopathic treatment since perfected by
Pasteur and Koch.

Very Good limitations Are Made In
France.
Since the introduction of the Tibet
goat into France the cashmere shawl
has been initiated with such wonderful
exactness that it is hard to detect the
imitation from the original, saws the
Chautauquan. Experts say. however.
that the genuine India shawl can be
detected from its having a less even
ly woven web and also from its brighter
colors. 1t is likewise said that the bor-
der of the real India cashmere shawl is
invariably woven in small pieces, which
are sewed together and the whole bor-
der is afterward sewed onto the center.
1t is mistake to think that the shawls
are manufactured in India in the form
in which they are sold here. Generally
the borders and centers come out sep
arately and are put together in sizes
and often in patterns to suit the Gus
toners.
A number of shawls sold as real In
dia" are actually manufactured in
France. Persons familiar with both
articles say that the original is softer
than the imitation and that this soft
mass arises from the way the thread is
spun and partly also because the Tibet
goat deteriorates when removed from
its native hills.

WEDNESDAY, JULY IA. 1897.
HnWIING I'M THE WII.DFRNESS

HOWLlNG IN THE WILDERNESS.
Why Is il that the Addicksites are so
anxious for harmony at this time? All
primary elections and conventions are
about year off and there can be no
immediate advantage gained by bury
ing the hatchet
II the truth were known the plea of
the Addcksites for harmony and the
merging OF all committees is actuated
by desire to share in the Federal pa
tronage which is now going to the reg
ular Republicans. The regulars have
all to lose and nothing to gain by har-
mony at this time. 1t is to their in
terest Ito make the best possible use OF
the Federal patronage to strengthen
their lines and weaken the
lines of their opponents. To give
the Addicksites office under a compro-
mise arrangement would be to encour-
age them to future acts of political in
subordination. Addicksites never want
harmony unless they are to profit by its
establishment. Their whole stock in
trade is and has been corruption and
disruption. Their leader announced that
he would rule the Republican party Of
Delaware, or else he would ruin It. Fail
ing in his first object he accomplished
his second in a most cold -blooded and
reprehensible manner. President Nc
Kinley recognizes that man OF that
character has neither stability nor re-
spectability, and that his political
structure must, sooner or later, col
lapse The dependence OF the national
Republican party, 50 far as Delaware is
concerned, must rest upon the regular
Republican column, which will be
standing when the Addicks column is
broken by the weight of it's own in
iquity.
The Addicks plea for harmony is
eelf-seelSing and hypocritical. 1t is the
voice OF hungry men howling in the
wilderness of disappointment and
doubt. We imagine that the regular
Republicans will pay but little heed to
the cry.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.


In the Senate the Democrats have
done nothing but insist on their right
to be heard in brief criticisms of the
features of the Senate bill to which
they objected. Most of the delay up to
the present time has been made by the
Republican members of the Finance
Committee. The Democrats have not
made long speeches, and few of them
have made speeches at all. We think
they are TO be blamed for not antago-
nizing the bill more vigorously than
they have done. The issue is not sim
ply what is best or worst
for either of the great parties. but
what is best for the American peo-
pie So far as the Democrats are pur-
suing the policy of allowing the Repub-
lican party to hurt Notwithstanding
that they are right in believing that the
passage Of tariff bill will have that
effect at the expense of the people,
they are failing in their duty. Under
our form Ct government the minority is
as much a part of the law-making ele-
ment as is the majority, and in the
| present case there is no telling how
great a modifying effect might result
from q determined and patriotic oppO-
sition to the worst features of the Sen
ate bill.
The question of prcmptness is i'm
portant But it is at least equally i'm
portant that the tariff should
be a reasonably good one. The
new law should be the re
suit of a careful and painstaking delib
GRAFTON, for it is bound to affect ever!
industry, and pretty nearly every indi
vidual. in the United States. Not delay
but wise deliberation is nee1ed.-In

the Republican assessor and collector
elect for the Northern district, demon
strates that the Democratic members

on their part to make use of techni-
cality as to his property qualifications
to upset the will of the voters of the
district as expressed at the polls early
last month. We congratulate Mr.
Lewis and wish him pleasant term in
office.
