The lightning is striking near. The
Chester County Trust Company, of which
Smedley Darlington is President, has
closed its DOORS Stock of the company
beloging to the estate of one of the de-
ceased stockholders was put up at public
sale but no bids were offered, and the
auctioneer casually remarked that it was
like the Agricultural Society stock. At
this some of the stockholders took the
alarm and RIM was made on the bank.
$74, 900 was paid out and the doors closed.
The assets are ample, the officers say, but
are largely composed of western mort
cages, some of which have been fore
closed, and the company had to buy in
the property.
Smedley Darlington and men of his
kidney have heaped no end of abuse on
Western farmers because they were not
able to protect" their mortgages, but
when stock of Smedley's bank is put up
under the hammer, no one is found to
"protect" it. If western farmers are de-
nounced by the officers of this Chester
County Trust Company bank because
they haven't the money to protect"
their mortgages, as anarchists" and ere
pudiationists, what is Smedley Darling
ton and his crowd when the property Of
their creditors is put under the hammer,
and depositors call for their money held
in trust for them? Smedley Darlington
had at one time 100000 invested in
western mortgages drawing interest from
IL to 20 per cent including perquisits,
commissions and such changes. The die
tionary hadn't adjectives sufficient TO
properly denounce the farmers who could
not pay, but whe depositors ask for their
money from the bank, drawing S per
cent, and the Trust can't pay, it begins to
look like case of chickens coming home
to roost. And the end is not yet. Look
out for earthquakes when Mckinley takes
his seat and the credulous ones that still
hang by the eyebrows give up all hope.

The Next Cabinet.

The Mckinley Cabinet has been made
up. The three principal departments are
the "signs," as the weather prognosti-
Gators would say, which indicate the kind
of political weather that may be expected
to prevail during the Mckinley admin
istration.
John Sherman is about the worst piece
of timber that could have been selected
for the State Department. His whole
training and trend of thought has been
on financial lines and none whatever to
the cunning diplomacy which character
ICES the intercourse between nations where
there is constant effort to over-reach
each other by the use of words to con-
ceal meaning. Sherman is a man of
plain words that are very easily under
stood, but he generally votes exactly the
opposite from the way he talks. That
game can't be played in statecraft. There
everything is put down in black and
white, and Sherman's convenient forget
terry would have no chance to play part.
His course on the Cuban question shows
what a sorry Secretary of State he will
make. He came out all aflame on the
side of the Cubans. The next week he
was more Spanish than Cuban. His ex-
cuse for this sudden tack was, he did not
know there was so much opposition to
Cuban independence in the country !
Sherman is entirely equipped for the
Treasury but as thoroughly unfit for Sec
rotary of State. How he would have
used his knowledge and financial training
in that Office is another question.
Lyman ]. Gage of Chicago, the leading
national banker of that city, has been
selected for Secretary of the Treasury.
His is thorough goldbug selection and
pleases Wall street. so Wall street says, a
declaration that should be taken, how
ever, with pinch of salt Wall street
would have much rather have had one of
its own, or some such traitor as Carlisle
Gage knows as much about the tricks of
the gold ring as Wall street and can't be
bulldozed. That's one important advan-
tage on the peoples side anyway.
Alger of Michigan will be Secretary of
war. The Michigander is able and we'll
informed in matters pertaining to the war
Office. And perphaps Mr.. Mckinley
couldn't have bettered the choice. Alger
is, like Gage, a western man and will put
more life and vigor in his management of
affairs than could be expected any sun
dried and baked eastern politician would
have been capable of.
Sherman had to be taken to make a
place in the Senate for Mark Hanna, the
Buckeye bulldozer, and Mckinley was
too smart to put Sherman in the Treasury
He don't want the Treasury to be con-
trolled by the Rothschilds, as it has been
for the last two admiuistrations-if he
can avoid it.

A Thoughtless Mother.

A Port Deposit reporter furnishes
the following to the Democrat last
week.
Last Monday a little girl who
lives in the country drove to the
Jacob Tome Institute with some
relatives. 1t seems the child was
just getting over an attack of grip,
but her mother thinking her greatly
improved sent her to school. When
she reached the Institute she was
almost frozen stiff. DIR. Fisher was
called in and everything possible
was done to relieve her sufferings,
when better the doctor took her to
her grandparents where she will
remain until able to be taken home.
We are glad to state she is slowly
improving.

Death of President Roberts

The death of George B. Roberts, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which occurred Saturday last, opens
the way for Mr. Frank Thompson who is
i'll line of promotion, as successor, and
will doubtless take to the Office equal
ability to that displayed by Mr.. Roberts.
Both men are and were emphatically
men, not politicians.

FLORIDA ORANGE CRoP.-A Jacl

FLORIDA ORANGE CRoP.-A Jack.
sonville (Fla.) correspondent writes /:
Officers of the Florida Fruit Exchange,
who keep themselves posted on the
condition of the orange crop through
out the Slate, now estimate that the
crop this fall will amount to between
100000 and 100000 boxes. The bulk
OF the oranges will come from the
counties of Manatee and Lee. Volusia
county will come next with from Isl
600 to 90, 600 boxes. The crop would
probably have reached $4,000 boxes
had it not been for the drouth in the
spring and early summer. These
caused quantities of small oranges to
drop from the trees, especially in the
middle orange-growing section of the
State. In 1898 the probabilities are,
freezes aud droughts barred, the crcp
will reach as high as 100000 boxes.
All of the orange growers are sanguiDe
of success. Tney have now tided over
the worst period, that following the
disaster of the freeze, aud have restor-
cd their groves to something like their
old time beauty.

DEMANDED VENGEANCE

On Sunday Bob BIachett, on his
way to Ivy township from Asheville,
n. c., met Kitty Henderson, daughter
OF well-to-do aud respectable farmer
living near Weaveryille, eight miles
north of Ashville. He choked her into
iusensibiilly, assaulted her and left her
unconscious. Iu few hours bands OF
men were looking for negro answering
the meagre description Miss Heuder
son was able to give in moments Of
consciousness, but it was not until yes
terday that he was found, thirty miles
away, at the home of negro preacher,
III bed.
Brachett made no resistance, and
confessed he was the man wanted. He
was at onc9 taken to the home Of his
victim, and the young lady reaffirmed
positively that he was the man. The
crowd outside had by this time learned
of the negro's Identification, and loud
cries were raised against him.
Deputy Mcdonald stated to the
crowd that the negro would be taken
to Asheville. II will pledge myself
that the commissioners will call court
the first of next week for trial." said
the officer. As the negro stepped from
he door Miss Henderson appeared on
the step aud exclaimed
II prayed in my helplessness that
God would spare my life and send
friends to avenge me, and now they
have come to help ne. You may hang
him or burn him." and she fell back in
to her mothers arms half unconscious.
Cries arose, "Hang him." Burn
oim.' Deputy Rsy nolds broke into the
din with the remark, MEN, if you hang
him, you are all known, and will be
tried for murder"
"That's all right" replied the mad
dened crowd, "we will take care of
that" But there was waver of hesi.
tation, when Walter Vandiver, a promi-
nent citizen of Weaverville, rose 10 his
stirrups and, with few ringing words
asked the men TO save the fair name of
the county from such crime.
In the hesitation of the moment the
oegro was thrown on horse, back of
the deputy, and the 300 men of the
reighborhood, falling behind the officer
and prisoner, came into Asheville,
W here through a crowd numbering
perhaps 1000, he was taken to the
county Jail. On The way in the negro
confessed that he was Miss Henderson's
assailant. Court will be convened
probably tomorrow to try Brachett.
