Announcement 10 made yesterday that
the War Department will not muster
out the First Delaware Regiment, now
at Camp Meade. Middletown, Pa, but
will keep it in the service for garrison
duty in some of the captured Spanish
provinces. The reason assigned ia that
the First Delawars is one of the best
regiments now in the service, and
therefore it will he TO tho interest of
the government to keep control of it
until the expiration of its term Of en-.
listment.

most aggravating. " raisoH the quss

tain of one Of the companies refuseu a
man water to pour on comrades fore
head, when the boy was lying almost
dead; ana yet the same officer was

1t is little wonder that some of tbs

A Good Legislative Ticket.

The Democrats of Kent county, at
their various conventions held in
Dover on Tuesday, nominated good
legislative ticket. Some of those named
are thoroughly representative citizens,
and not one of them fails to measure
admirably to the chief requirements Of
legislator. As class they are men
of more than the average ability and
intelligence, and they are also honest
and reputable. In fact, il is one Of
tina best legislative tickets presented
to the people of Kant county for many
years.

Thoughtful Democrats who desire to
carry the State of Delaware this year,
for political reasons as well as from u
desire to thwart the Senatorial am
bitions Of MIR. J. Edward Addicks.
should seriously consider the question
whether it is worth while to imperil
the chances of victory by Juggling Will
liam j. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form into the issues of the campaign.
In the campaign OF two years ago,
the undemocratic Bryan and the undo.
mocratio Chicago platform placed the
Democratic party of Delaware in a
minority Of over three Thousand votes,
although they saved all except the
electoral ticket by reason of the d.
vision of the Republican party into
hostile factions. Tbs electoral vote OF
the State was given to Mckinley.
Another campaign on like lines could
have only the same result, but ON Local
issues, with clean nom limitations, there
is scarcely doubt that Delaware
would turn out good Democratic ma
jority this ysar. Aside from the choici

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation caa be
