Progress in VictOria's Reign.

"When Victoria assembled the throne
the United Kingdom contained 2G, 900,
600 people" writes William George
Jordan of "What Victoria Has Seen"
reviewing, in the June Ladjcs' Home
Journal, the worlds progress during
the sixty years of the English sover-
eign's rule. "To-day it has over 30,
100000. The wise men of the time
said the nation would go to pieces.
They claimed it could never govern its
home and colonial possessions. Under
Victoria the new territory acquired a.
lone is One-sixth larger than all Europe
To-day Victoria rules over 402, ,514, 900
people, or twenty-seven per cent, of
the population of the globe. Her En-
pire extends over 11,399,316 square
miles, covering twenty-One per cent. of
land of the world. The United States,
at the time of Victoria's coronation,
had only 100000 people; to-day il
has 10000, 900. Arkansas, Missouri
and Louisiann were Western frontier
States. All our territory west of the
Mississippi contained less people than
Philadelphia has to-day. Our present

TROLLEY LINES. The .SUsScr JD,ir-
nal that favored the Trolly line down
the State says: OF course the people of
Delaware need not expect any favor
able railroad legislation from the Gen
eral Assembly which reconvenes next
January. The body will then be com
posed of the same men who a few days
ago finally consented to go home and
give the people free breath again.
But this state of things cannot al
ways last. Two years hence another
set of legislators will be nominated by
the respective parties. The people of
Delaware are, with the exception of
some half dozen men, unanimously
III favor of a general trolley system
throughout the length and breath of
the State. Then they should see that
no man is nominated who will not
pledge himself to vote and use his in
huence for a general trolley system.
The fact that nearly a majority Of
the late Legislature was owned by
outsided influences controlled by the
lobby, should not deter the people
from waging popular hand to hand
fight for what they can obtain two
years hence, and which no political
party dare to set its face against. A
few men controlled the worthless mem
bers of the Legislature for a day, but
the will of the people must eventually
win.

Proverbs.

How old are some of the proverbs i'll
everyday use? 1t is not to be expected
that the question can be answered with
any kind of accuracy, but it may be
safely said that at least a few of them
are of such ancient origin that they go
back beyond established history and
into the land oflegend and tradition.
The proof of this is found in the sim
ilarity of proverbs of widely different
peoples. Prof. H. Darlington Bolton,
in an article in the Journal Of Amleri-
can FOlk-LOre, give numerous speci-
mems of Armenian and Turkish prov
cribs, which are very much like some OF
our own.
The Armenians, for example, say,
"The dog cannot eat the hay will not
allow the lamb to eat it, . which is the
''Dog in the manger" story over again.
Such saying as Zone must give the
devil his due" ''Warm a frozen SER
pent and it will sting you first, " "A
single flower and a single swallow do
not always announce the spring, ga
friend will be knwn in difficult days, "
and "Speech is silver, silence is gold
en-" are almost identical with we'll
known English proverbs.
The anology between the Armenians
''When it rains everybody brings drink
to the hens" and our saying about
Carrying Goals to New Castle" is very
evident, and ''The world is pot, man
spoon in it," may be likened tc
Shakespeare's " All the worlds stage
and all the men and women merely
players
The Turks have Birds of feather
flock together" ''LOve me, love m!
dog, and "It never rains butt pOurs,
in commons with us, while ''The ket
tie calls the saucepan smutty' immed
lately suggests the English. The Ori
entails, even those OF Western Asia, de
light in proverbs and maxims, us
them very commonly, and have
: great many more than we do. 1t
not surprising, therefore, that many
them have no English equivalents, yt
contain a large amount of hOmely phi
losophy, in compact from which woul
adorn the language of any people.

Pennsylvania Railroad Summer Excursion
Route Book.
THE MOST COMPLETE PUBLICATION OF
ITS KIND.

THE MOST COMPLETE PUBLICATION OF
ITS KIND.
On June 1st the Passenger Depart
ment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company issued the 1897 edition of its
Summer excursion Route Book. This
work is destined to provide the public
with short descriptive notes of the
principal Summer resorts of Eastern
America, with the routes for reaching
them, and the rates of fare. There are
over four hundred resorts in the book
to which rates are quoted, and over tif-
teen hundred different routes or com
binatiOns of routes. 1t is complied
with the utmost care, and altogether is
the most complete and comprehensive
handbook of Summer travel ever offer
ed to the public.
It's 219 pages are inclosed in a hand
some and striking cover, in cOlors.
Several maps, presenting the exact
routes over which tickets are sold, are
bound in the book. 1t is also prOfuse-
ly illustrated with fine half-tone cuts
of scenery along the lines of the Penn
svlvania Railroad and elsewhere.
Any doubt as to where the Summer
should be passed will de dispelled after
careful examination of the contents
of this sublication.
On and after June 1st it may be pro
cured at any Pennsylvania Railroad
ticket office at the nominal price of tel
cents, or, upon application to the gen
eral Office, Broad Street Station, by
mail for twenty cents.

The Newspaper Of To-day.

The most interesting feature of DR.. Alb
botts discourse in the Plymouth pull
pit, Sunday night, was his statement
in substance that the newspaper of to-
day was doing the work of the Heb
rev historians i'll recording contem-
poraneous history. The difference
was that the Bible historians was in the
history of their time the handiwork of
God, and recited the Divine message
as it was seen, while modern journal
ism in many instances failed to look
for or to find the hand of God in cur
rent events. DR.. Abbott said:
eve have in our own town eminent
and interprising writer's of cOntem-
poraneous history. We call them
daily newspapers. And they do show
marvellous enterprise in their gather
ing news of the world from all quarters
of the globe. Nor could we well ask
for greater expenditure of money Ol
energy or of enterprise in the gather
ing. But / think we may well ash
more perception of the moral perspec
tive of events than we get in some o
our enterprising newspapers. Wha
we want to-day in the editor of tn
great paper is man who can see wha
God is doing in the world, and cal
measure all events by their relation t
Divine development. That is a relig
ious newspaper-not paper that has
text at the head of the column, not
paper that gets a minister to write
religious article or editorial now an
then-a paper that realizes that God
developing the human race, a papt
that measure events by that relation
the Divine development.

SINCE VICTORIA WAS CROWNED.
THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT SOCIAL RE
FORMS AND WONDERFUL INVENTIONS.

FORMS
"Great social reforms belong to
Queen Victoria's reign" writes Will
liam George Jordan in the Ladies
Home Journal, narrating the progress
of the world since Queen Victoria as
cended the throne sixty years ago.
'The degrading practice of fogglng
has been abolished in the armies and
navies of America and England. Chill
dren are no longer permitted to work
in the mines of Britain. Press gangs
no longer force men into the service OF
the Queens navy. The Red Cross So
ciety, approved by forty-nine nations,
has sOftened the horrors of war. The
transportation of criminals, with Its
many evils, has been suppressed. Ex-
ecutions are no longer conducted IN
public. The treatment of criminals
has become humane. Factory laws
and building acts make life easier fol
the poor.
Inventive science has made mar
velous progress in every department
during Victoria's sixty years years Al
Queen. Cantilever bridges have sur
prised the world. Travel has beer
wonderfully quickened by street cars
cabs, trolly, cable cars, elevated road
aud other triumphs of invention. Il
1897 tbara were no tvpewriters, no pas
senger elevators, no modern bicycles
, no soda-water fountains, no horseles
carriages, no chemical fre-extinguisl
ers, no ironclads, no perfecting press
es. Fully chronicling the inventiv
progress of the last six decades woul
t make it seem as if nothing of real col
r sequence to mans comfort had bee
Q done before 1887.

GEORGE SMITH LAUREL S POSTMASTER
President Mckinley has named
George E. Smith for postmaster at
Laurel, and by this act gives to bolt
ing Republican one of, if not the best,
federal office in Sussex county. The
administration evidently does not un-
derstand the political situation in Del
aware, and we doubt if it does in the
United States. For the Republican
party in Delaware the nomination of
Mckinley was a great misfortune.
History has reproduced almost the
same condition as existed in 1881, when
President Garfield came to the Presi-
dency. James G.. Blaine dominated
and shaped the plans of that admins
tration and together force objection
able appointments upon the stalwart
Republicans of New York State against
all protest and this led to COnkling's
rebellion and tie loss of that State to
the Republican party for years. The
same policy is being issued in Della
ware by Mckinley, as Garfield fol
lowed toward New York, and il
grows palmer each day that the nOmi-
nation and election of Mckinley SO
far as the Republican party of Della
ware is concerned, was a great blunder.
This party stood for protection"
and "sound money" and these issues
alone saved it from defeat. The Re-
publicans of Delaware owe no thanks
or gratitude to the present admins
tration, and none will be given.
We had hoped to see the two factions
get together in Delaware, but it is nov
plain that this can never be until viii
liam J. Bryan, or some other Dem
ocrat, occupies the White House.

OYSTER SHIPMENT TO EUROPE. -
Probably few Americans even have
any conception of the immense num-
ber of oysters shipped to England, which
is the sole market for American bl-
valves, as France rears her own, and
the German duty of $40 per barrel is
too steep to allow any margin for pro-
fit. Hundreds of thousands of barrels
are received yearly in England, many
of which are transplanted for few
months, when they are taken mp for
summer trade. Norfolk, Baltimore
and other points ship large quantities
and the Connecticut trade is also large,
one firm alone shipping about 10000
barrels yearly. This is an additional
incentive for Chesapeake Oystermen tC
ship direct to Europe, instead OF sell
ing plants to plant in Connecticut anC
and other Northern and not so prolific
waters.

WHAT TO DO

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROot, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and Overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price sc
cents and one dollar. You may have q
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention the Smyrna
TIMES and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer & c., Binghamton, N. Y. The
proprietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
