THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate a lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure a disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
Of it. Now, m-ny so-ca led diseases
are in truth only forms Of one disease,
branches of one tree, as we may say.
For example, if we can nourish the
body and enrich the blood, we speedily
get rid Of many of our troubles,
such as Anemia, Fevers, Rheumatism,
Scrofula and Blood Disorders, and so
on-all proofs that the body lacks
vitality and force. Nothing is SO
effective a body builder as cod liver
oil but, alas, how many are nau-
seated at the very thought of it. In

WgIdTE MANS pRUMARTEs

That only seventy negroes had reg
istered in the city OF Wilmington up
to to-day indicates two things. The
first is that the negro voters do not in
tend to pay the registration fee pre-
scribed by law; and the second is that
the several Republican and Union Re
publican aspirants for nomination do
not propose TO spend their money in
registration fees for a class OF voters
upon whose allegiance they cannot rely
at the primary elections. There is an
evident intention on their part to make
the Republican and Union Republican
primaries this year turn upon the white
vote Of the Two parties. With from
1900 to 1000 negroes left out Of the
fight the results may be most surpris-
ing.
When the ticket is once completed
by the white Republicans they will
turn to their colored brethren and urge
them to turn in and assist in electing
it. 70 this end they will endeavor to
speHdrseveral thousands Of dollars in
qualifying the black voters for the
general e,ection. They will seek to
get them all on the books on Septem-
Der II and October %. Every scheme
which they can devise to pay the fees
Of the negroes will be put in practice
and the Democrats must be most dill
gent and determined to stop all such
violations Of the law and bring the Of
tenders to book. The state and county
organizations are pledged to use theiI
best efforts to put down such bribery
and corruption, and they must do it
no matter what men are affected by
their action.

The PENINSULA PRESS

Dover has been the scene Of a tragedy
which appals everyone. There has been
a cruel murder which shocks the whole
country Two unsuspecting, amiable
altogether lovely women have been
sent to untimely graves, the victims of
a fiendish crime. II is past comprehen-
sion and almost beyond belief. We are
glad to know that an investigation has
been started and that everything will
be done to bring the guilty one to JUS
tice It is a crime which cries aloud
for punishment.-DoverD Delawarean.
Queer? At the beginning Of the war
Schley outranked Sampson yet the lat
ter was placed in command. Schley won
the greatest of all naval battles. Both
have been promoted to be rear admi-
rails, Sampson being advanced eight
numbers and Schley six, Sampson now
outranl1ing Schley But the country
will take care of Schley's fame and
Maryland will see to it that her distin-
guished son has a beautiful home in
which to pass his days after retirement.
-Elkton Appeal
Peace has been declared and it is to
be hoped that all matters pertaining
thereto will meet with satisfactory ad-
iustment and that a peaceful, progress
sive and prosperous government may
be established in these islands where
the tyrannical and despotic rule Of
Spain has impeded progress and ground
to desperation the spirit of their peo-
ple.-Milford Chronicle.
An Elkton officer, who has always
favored and supported prohibition, de.
clares that in his opinion there is more
liquor being sold here now than when
we had license, and he is in position

II John the Baptist had run a reform

Justice.
If the correspondent had said that
Colonel DUPONT was bending his ener-
gies to manufacture a powder to blow
up the whole Republican outfit, he
would have been much nearer the
truth Fortunately for the party and
for the state, Mr.. DUPONT can't do
either the one or the other.-State SEN
tinel.
It will be remembered by all that in
the last campaign after the Republi-
cans had issued their call the Union
Republicans called their convention to
meet two days previous, so that no one
will object to the Republicans doing
the very same thing, especially after
the Union Republican Committee had
refused to agree to hold their conven-
ton at the same time and place. All
persons interested in the future vel
fare of the Republican party of the
State of Delaware should attend the
primaries and cast their votes for the
delegates who will nominate the ticke
which will be elected on next election
day.-Sussex Republican.

SOAP AND IT'S USES.
england High Among the Nation
But the United States at the
Head of the List.

There is now exported from Gre,
britain more soap than was used i
Great Britain at the beginning of IL I
present century, and, besides, accord
ing to authentic figures, 4Oo,Ooo,od
pounds of soap is used in Great Britai3
every year, exclusive of 55,O00,Odl
pounds exported to other countries
chiefly English colonies. The Frencl
manufacture of soap amounts approx
imately to 100000, 900 pounds a wear. Ill
larger part of which is made in tbI
city of Paris. The sale in other cour
tries Of French soap, and particularl|
French perfumed soap, is a consider
able item of commerce. The export|
Of soap from Great Britain in recen|
years have been as follows: Eigbteel
hundred and seventy-fve. -, 500 tons|
1880, 1850; 1855, 20,100; 1890, 25,OOo|
1895, 27,5O0. What were known in End
land as the soap taxes originated dus
ing the reign of Queen Anne and werI
originally fixed at $50 a ton, yieldin.
in the year 1890 public revenue in ex
cess of $70oO,oOO.
An official estimate recently mad,
shows the average consumption per in
habitant Of Great Britain to be min,
pounds a year; a similar average pre-
walls in France, Belgium and Holland
though a popular belief ascribes to th,
last country a much larger use Of soap
particularly for house cleaning. Their,
are no official figures on the subject
but there is a general belief that yer,
little soap is used in Spain. Certainll
no soap is imported into that country
(the Spanish blockade on soap has beer
of long duration) and none is exported
from it. The United States stands a
the head of all other countries in tn,
use, if not in the manufacture. Of SOAP
The average expectations of American
soap in a year amount TO 100000,
pounds. The importations into tn,
United States of soap amount to 5000
600 pounds, or one-tenth as much
There are nearly 500 soap factories il
the United States, with a cash capita
of $25,00O,O0O using materials to tn
value of S5O,000,0O0 and giving employ
ment to 10000 persons. In the numbe
of such establishments New Yor
stands first among American cities. bu
prior to its enlargement Philadelphi
has the first place, New York secon
and Brooklyn third. Boston, San Frar
cisco and Cincinnati follow in the orde
named. and in respect of the value G

Will MKlNuEY INTERFEREg

Colonel Henry A. DUPONT and Henry
c. Morse, the dispensers Of Republican
Fedora. patronage coming to Delaware,
cannot agree upon a postmaster for
Wilmington. The former favors the
appointment Of Winfield S. Quigley,
and the latter is uncompromising in has
endorsement Of Washington Hastings
for the position There is a deadlock,
the parties to which are o. independent
character Neither can be cajoled or
bulldozed into resigning his personal
preference in favor of that of the other.
The result is that Colonel Enoch
Moore continues to perform the func-
tions and draw the salary of postmas-
ter much to the evaporation OF Re
pulblicans, who want to get him out Of
the pleasant and lucrative berth.
Some Republicans are anxious that
President Mckinley should intervene
in this emergency. They say that he
made the two men patronage dis

in harmony, and that, seeing the dead

HOW CAN1ONS WEltE tORdhED.
The secret of the great denudation
Of this wonderful achievement of the
Colorado in carving out of rock a ser
les Of canyons about 500 miles long,
and, in one place, at least, more than a
mile deep, with a multitude of tribu-
tary chasms and gorges, is very simple
when you know It, The lake bed slow
ly rose. AT first, the Colorado river
and its tributaries, or some nameless
monstrous ancestor of these, sweeping
over the slowly rising surfaces, planed
down in most relentless fashion, and
then began wearing out broad shallow
stream beds. But then the country
rose more rapidly, and the water had
to cut deeper channels in the rocks in
order to get out and away to sea. Ow-
ing in part to the weav or the water IT,
self. but more to the ceaseless bonn
bardment of the suspended sand which
it bore from the up country, or picked
up as it went along, and to the thump
Of pebbles and boulders which it swept
on in flood time, the river kept cutting
down as the strata rose, until finally,
when what was left Of our inland sea
bottom got thrust up so that, towering
far above its eTstwhile rocky shores, it
had to be called a plateau. the Colo
