women instead of making an assertion,
but the youngest neophyte inquired:
"Why is it beautiful woman never is

"In all probability" replied the Cum

man gets in the presence of beauti-
full woman he never has sense enough
left to know whether she is intellectual
or not. '-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Hopeless HopewelI.

Application is to be made to the
Court next week to annul the char
ter of Hopewell borough. 1t was
incorporated forty-four years age
and was then the industrial center
of southern Chester county. Many
hands were employed in it's cotton
factories, large academy with a
corps of teachers was at the height
of its prosperity, and its stores en-
joyed the biggest patronage of any
in the county. Things are different
now. Only the walls of the cotton
mills remain to remind the old in
habitants of the former greatness OF
the place; the old academy has long
since passed out of existence, and
the chirp of the cricket is heard in
place OF the inspiring hum of in,
dustry. Most of the business
of the extreme southern end is
now centered in Oxford, and
Hopewell is indeed what might be
termed a decaying old village. The
town contains about As voters, and
there are consequently offices for
nearly everybody. Under the
amended borough charter laws this
miniature borough has one burgess,
eleven councilmen, six school direc
tors, three auditors, one constable,
two justices, one assessor, five cleo
ton officers and a board of health
thirty persons to fill public office
out of only As voters. cit costs the

Plea for Worth.

EDITOR OF THE MIDLAND JOURNAL
OF the various candidates soliciting the
favor of the voters of Cecil none is more
deserving than plain, bluff Jack" Viii
liams. In his short but honorable polit
ical career he illustrates the worth O.
democratic institutions which permit the
workingman to seek and grasp prizes that
once were held to be open only to the
favorites of fortune or the representatives
of caste. His faithful and competent
service under Messrs Graham and How
ard earned his promotion to the Clerk
ship, and his fitness, certified bv both
Bench and Bar, together with his genial
courtesy is the claim upon which he bases
his candidacy for the succession to the
honorable office, the duties and respon
sibilities of which he has discharged with
credit to himself and the satisfaction of
the public. For the proper filling of such
an office as the Clerkship something more
than executive ability is required. Such
ability Jack" Williams has shown him
self abundantly possessed of, and of the
manly qualities which brighten the dull
routine of officialism he has goodly
share. Such all aspirant for public favor
deserves cordial recognition.

Spoke Wiser Than He Knew.

Al. McCreary, farmer in the
neighborhOod of Cherry Hill, ex-
hibited some very fine corn in Elk :
ton at the Wing office. The paper
said: The six ears weighed eight
pounds fourteen ounces, and had IA
combination length on six feet three
inches. Mr.. McCreary is "A sound
money man and said that this is
"Gold Standard" corn.
Corn is 30 cents a bushel. Under
present grain conditions Mr..
McCreary ought to receive 20 cents
a bushel for his large crop of corn.
The "gold standard" has cut the
price in two. Mr.. McCreary will
get 30 cts. and the gold standard
man will get the other 30 cts. The
gold standard man stands and holds
the gold and fixes the price of the
farmers corn at what figures he
pleases. He also cuts down the
price of his farm, all of his farm
stock, but keeps up the interest of
the debts he holds and taxes while
he makes conditions so that he can
buy twice the amount of the
farmers produce with the same
amount of money he used to, and
the farmer has to give twice the
amount of corn to buy the same
amount of money he used to. This
is the reason that Mr.. McCreary
and others are gold standard men.
They are so fond of paying so much
corn to buy little gold and then
have to take silver. They never
get any gold. The gold standard
man keeps that to euchre the farm.
