REpUBLICAN HARMoNY


On Saturday last, the Morning
News,n commenting on the recent SEN
atorial contest at Columbus, Ohio, very
decidedly came down the tree, on the
question of the election Of Col. dupont
to the Senate. This testimony, though
long delayed, is none the less valuable.
The "News" says:
Senator Hanna now probably appre-
ciates the situation that existed at
Dover during the winter Of 1895. Then
four men who were elected as Republic
cans, stood out against fifteen other
Republicans and prevented the election
of a United States Senator who would
be acceptable to the Senate. In COL
umbus, Ohio, nine or ten Republicans
stood out against seventy-three other
Republicans, but were not able to pre-
vent the will Of the majority from being
carried out. The only difference between
Dover and Columbus was the Dover
boilers won their fight by preventing
the election of Senator who could be
seated.
"Every Evening" improves its OPP
portunity and hits the News" in this
wise:
1t will be noticed that In its editor
ial columns to-day, the Morning
News" admits at last that Col. FL. A.
dupont was not elected Senator from
Della ware.
"Truth crush'd to earth," &c"l
The News and Advertiser" some
what tenderly implies that it is highly
desirable for the two Republican par
ties of Delaware to get together. This
differs somewhat from the utterances
Of the embodied wisdom and purity OF
the State, as with lovely women and a
martial figure at their head, they in
vaded the capital of Sussex on July IA,
1896. This is not the only change,
however. The atmosphere isdecidedly
clearer now than then. What then
seemed easy, is now hopeless. For the
accommodation of the "News and Ad-
vertlser" we suggest a search into the
following allegOry:
"a certain creature, when by mis-
fortune it loses its tail jumps around in
frightful and contortionate manner
until it finds the body from which it
has been departed, when Immediately
1t CLUES the two raw surfaces together,
and behold the animal is whole againl
1t is to be observed that the tail alone
displays an eager desire and breathless
activity for family reunion, because
perhaps, the body has not so much use
for the tail, as the tail for the body.

MY M ARYLAND.

A movement is on foot to secure the in
corporation and change of name of the
village Of Still Pond, Kent county. The
prosperous little town takes its name from
pond near by, which has an habitually
unrufled surface. The proposed name is
Kentland.
There are quantities Of wild geese now in
the wheat fields in the neighborhood of
Chestertown, Md, and some good bags are
recorded. The usual method Of shooting
them is for the gunners to hide near the
probable line offlight, and one or two care
full drivers to force the flock over the hunts
men. The geese, as a rule. feed at night;
but in large fields where they can post
pickcts, they feed all day.
A Frederick correspondent of one of the
city papers states that in October a steer
was covered up by the straw from thresher
on the farm of James Houck, that place.
The animal was missed, but no one thought
of such thing as its being buried in the
noticed some hens come out of hole in the
stack, and thinking to find nest crawled
into the hole. Something kicked him and
he quickly backed out. declaring the devil
was in the stack. The straw was cut away
and there the steer was found, weak and
emaciated, but still able to stand. 1t had
subsisted on straw for SO days.
Mr.. Lynn Caulk, whose serious illness
from typhoid fever was noticed several

THE PRESIDENT AND FINANCE.

THE PRESIDENT AND FINANCE.
President Mckinley was one OF the
guests at the dinner of the Manufac-
turers' Association at the Waldorf As
toria. in New York, last week. AT the
banquet in the evening, Presi dent Nc
Kinley was the principal speaker, and,
in the course Of his remarks, indicated
his purpose to resist every effort to de-
grade the money standard of the coun-
try. He urged business men to con-
tinue the fight for currency reform,
and not to be discouraged at the OBJ
stacles now confronting them.
The President spoke with the utmost
force, seriousness and depth of feeling,
and when he concluded the overchar-
ged enthusiasm of his hearers found an
outlet in the spontaneous singing OF
America" every man rising to his
feet and joining in the national hymn.
When he said the Government was
to coin money and regulate the value
thereof by the highest standards of
commercial honesty, when he protested
against the scaling down of the ma
tional debt by legal technicality, an
evident hit at the Teller resolution,
and when he said our honor orable inten-
tions in this matter must be placed be-
yond dispute by legislation there was
the greatest demonstration of applause.
He declared that this great question
must be settled now, as duty to the
more than seven million voters who fif-
teen months ago, decided that the Gov
ernment would not permit doubt to
exist anywhere concerning the stability
and integrity of its currency or the in
volatility of its obligations of every
kind. He add that:
SIT will not suffice for citizens now
adays to say simply that they are in
favor of sound money. That is not
enough. The peoples purpose must
be given the vitality of public law.
Better an honest effort with failure
than the avoiding of SO plan and COM
manding a duty. The difficulties in
the path of satisfactory reform are, it
must be admitted, neither few in num-
ber nor slight in degree; but progress
cannot fail to be made with fair and
through trial. An honest attempt will
be the best proof of sincerity of pur-
pose. Discussion cannot hurt, it will
only help the cause. Let as have full
and free discussion. We are the last
to avoide or evade it.n

How to Locate North and South


People are frequently at a loss to know
the different points of the compass when
in strange section of the country and it is
generally accepted as being pretty hard to
get your bearings without a compass, but
such is not fact. Any one who wears a
watch at any time when the sun is shining
can readily locate north and south by OBJ
serving the following directions:
Point the hour to the san, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour and the
figure XII on the dial. Point the hand
indicating to the sun, and IL on the
watch is exact south. Suppose, again, that
it is s clock. Point the hand indicating
to the sun and the X on the dial is due
south.
This may perhaps prove useiul to some
one who has heretofore been ignorant of
this simple, but unfailing method.

THE souTH AND PRoTECTIoN.

I'LL SOO u AMI 1RO4 4AOGN'
The TRANSCRIPT has frequently re-
ferred to the fact that the interests of
the South are with the party of protec-
tion and only the color line prevents q
break in 'sthe solid south'' to the G. o.
p. of ideas and do-something. The
strike in New England means competi-
tion with the mills of the South not
with any foreign manufacturers. The
following statement Of the growth Of
factories in the South is proof of our
position:
1.-THE increase Of the cotton spinning
industry in the South is proceeding with
great rapidity. In 1880 the South had
180 cotton mills, with $21. SOC, 600 cap
ital. A census made last year shows
400 mills, with $125, 100000 capital.
The average capital to the mill in 1880
was s122, 600; in 1890 it was $500, 600,
and in 1897 1t was $255, 600. A recent
investigation shows that oyer 80 per
cent. all the money invested in manu-
featuring in the South is home capital.
From 1880 to 1896 inclusive, 80, ,0O0. 900

Last week the TRANSCRIPT q uoted
several articles on prospective har-
mony in the Republican Party. The
above is from the ''Sentinel," the Ad-
dicks organ, and shows that there is no
ha rmony with the Addicksites. In the
first place the "Morning News" did
not admit that Col. DUPONT was not
elected, though it suffered the false
charge to 60 unchallenged, appar-
emily endorsing that opinion, and sec
ondly the "Sentinel' takes the oppor-
tunity to rejoice that by conspiracy
four so-called Republicans were kept
from voting for Col. dupont and that
he was net seated but that silver
Democrat has been elected to the SEN
ate. Where is the honest Republican
who can harmonize with such men ?
The following is from the other fool
organ, the Milford Chronicle, and
s hoWs its mental as well as its moral
weakness:

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
At the Democratic County Conven
tion held on Thursday the County
Committee submitted the rules which
are here given. They are important

The convention after organization and
consideration of the report proposed

be the last in that district to
have Senator or Levy Court Commits
sioner; and in future conventions for
changing the rules Wilmington to be
represented by four delegates from each
legislative district in Wilmington in
stead of ole from each ward as at

this week except the two Houses have
agreed that each committee may en-
ploy necessary counsel. The salary of
the judges has been discussed. The
report fixes So, 500 for Chancellor and
Chief Justice and $4,000 for others.
The lawyers and others are trying TO
raise the amounts, even to $1,000.
Farmers, who usually think Alright, be-
lieve the sums named are large enough.

APPEALS 10 IGNORANCE .

Is popular government failurep
We think not, but some editors are do
ing all they can to make it SO. Their
object is to "boost" party, seemingly
caring for nothing SO party wins.
AS a proof Of orr statement we SUBJ
NIT the following from the "Wicomico
News'':
"Dingley's protective tariff bill,
which was to bring prosperity to the
manufacturing centers of this country,
has failed Of its mission SO far as New
Castle, Del. is concerned-a city which
depends entirely upon it's factories for
a livelihood. Instead of plenty of work
and prosperity, starvation is staring
seven hundred laborers in the face, and
the condition is becoming more and
more alarming every day. The Della
ware Iron Works and other industries
have shut down, throwing seven hum
dred men out Of employment. Many
families are suffering from lack Of food
and are depending upon charitable Or
ganizations for sustenance. Cases have
come to light where families have gone
for three days without a morsel of
food.n
What has the Dingley tariff to do
with the suffering at New CastleP
Would not the situation be the same
were the Wilson tariff in effect? Ger
tainly, nor does the "News" say other
wise; 1t only appeals to ignorance by
stating that the ''Dingley bill has fail
ed of its mission at New Castle. This
is demagogueism of the worst kind but
the Dover 'Delawarean" beats its
Maryland neighbor il possible. The
"Delawarean" without effort at argu-
ment merely puts head on an article
which appeals to prejudice and ignor-
ance. Where is their patrotismp The
"DelawaTean" article is:
DINGLEY PROSPERITY" AT NEW
CASTLE.
There is more destitution and priva-
tion in New Castle this winter than
was ever known before. The Della
ware Iron Works, which ordinarily
employ from 700 to 800 men, has shut
down completely and smaller indus
trial concern has also suspended oper-
ations. These shut-downs forced
large number Of men into idleness, and
these people and their families are in
very Strengthened circumstances and
compelled to endure many hardships.
Charitable people of the town are do
ing what they can to allay suffering,
but the burden is so heavy that it is
almost impossible to prevent severe
privation in many cases."
