THE DnABOdJrCAL SCHOOL.


The assassination of the empress OF
Austria was the act OF mad man. No
other rational conclusion can be drawn
from the tragedy. There was no per-
sonal animosity between the victim and
the assassin; no private, public or po-
litical end was served by the ruthless
act. Then it must have been the deed
OF a man whose mind was bent on
killing someone, regardless OF conse-
quences to himself or others.
But we must not lose sight OF the
fact that he was representative OF a
school OF mad men. That he acted In
line with the teachings OF the anarch-
lists. When the world. which places a
high valuation on the sanctity and
safety Of human life and property, re-
covers from the shock Of this latest
dlabolical crime justified by the an
archial school, it should set itself reso-
lutely TO the task Of roofing out al

All nations are interested in thi
matter and should act in concert. Gu

teachings OF this diabolical school. an
we are as vitality concerned in the oS
tirpation Of persons entertaining tn
sanguinary tenets OF anarchy as is an
nation Of the Old World.

Although the officers OF the Second

Montchanin, hoped to leave for home
to-day, they will be unable to do so.
They trust that they can leave to-mor-

and the regiment may even be delayed
for a day OF two longer, getting the
necessary papers in shape. Upon their
arrival at Philadelphia the men will be

SEVENTEEN PER CENT. PROFIT.

SEVENTEEN PIER CENT. PROFIT
What is profit on crop? We find a
good Illustration in the account OF cost
Of ten acres Of hops in Otsego county,
N. Y, printed in our january 20 Issue.
Am the items OF labor and materials
used in growing this crop are fully set
forth, including taxes on land and
buildings. and depreciation on the kiln,
poles, tools, ETC., at the rate Of 10 per
cent. OF their value yearly. Both OF
these last items are properly charged
against the crop, but OF the SSS worth
Of bone and ashes applied 1t would be
only fair TO say at least $50 worth
remain in the soil for this years crop
and probably this is too low. But with
this allowance the figures show net
balance Of $126 for the use OF the land.
valued at $3.50. Here we have a net
profit on such investment of nearly II
per cent, or IL per cent. over the cost
OF borrowed money, after paying the
farmer full market prices for all the
labor he or his teams or help put into
the crop. That's good enough, II We
could only be sure Of it year after year
Here are the facts in a nut she'll: Re

TInE COuNrrY TIOKEr-

Every Democrat In New Castle coun-
ty, can. with credit to himself and in
behalf OF the public good, give his FREQ
and full support to the ticket which
was nominated on Saturday afternoon.
While personal preference may not
have been gratified in evegy instance.
still there is nothing about any OF the
nominees which can Justify any Demo-
crat in refusing to support them at the
general election.
The men nominated are good, clean
and honest. Many Of them have held
public office before and discharged
their duties with signal faithfullness
and intelligence. The well-known
character Of the others guarantees like
acceptable and beneficial public service
IN event OF election to the honorable
offices to which they aspire. All in all,
the Democrats OF New Castle county
newer put a stronger ticket in the field
and the fact that 1t was nominated
without friction andwarm personal con-
troversy, and in an honest and intelli-
gent manner by the registered voters
OF the county insures it the full party
support from one end. OF the county 10
the other. In addition to this, 1t is pos
sessed OF such merit that those Repub-
Leans who are disguised with the ex-
listing compact between Higginsism
and Addicksism can vote II without do
ing violence to their convictions while
engaged In the laudable work OF re-
buling their faithless party LEADERS.
while 1t is never advisable for a
party to pin its faith in the support OF
dissatisfied voters of another party.
and always better for an organization
to figure upon and place reliance In It's
own Internal strength, the conditions
which exist in New Castle county to-
day are such that the Democratic party
must necessarily beneft by the action
OF those independent Republican voters
who will, in large numbers, refuse TO
sanction the deal made between the
leaders OF the Higgins faction and the
leaders of the Addicks faction for the
sake Of the spoils coming to them for
dispensation should victory ensue Our
nominations in every instance should
be Of such character as to warrant mol
only the cheerful support OF every
Democrat, but also that OF every dis
satisfied Republican.
The leaders of the Regular Republi-
can organizations love to prate OF the
harmonious relations which exist be
tween the two parties. They may be
deceiving themselves, but the public il
not deceived. Harmony is but a name
a vote-catching device which they
have adopted to swing into line un
thinl1inb men; but there is a larg'
element OF Republican thinkers VIII
cannot and will not reconcile them
selves to a compact which is devoid o
reason and principle, and set up solel.
for the benefit OF spoilsmen. This ele
ment will, IL the Democratic nominee
are good, sound, substantial men, vot

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If
the liver is inactive, you have bilious
look; if your stomach Is disordered,
you have dyspeptic look; if your kid
neys are affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and you
will surely have good looks. Electric
