cabinet. He has borne himself we'll
and there is no sign that his ouickIv
gained honors have turned his head
or aroused in him any merely selfish
ambition. He will carry to his i'm
pOrtant work at Paris the confidence
and esteem of millions of his fellow
countrymen who had never heard his
name two short years ago. It is an
nOunced, without any contradiction in
any quarter, that the position of Sec.
retary OF State will be promptly as
sumed by Col. John Hay, our present
ambassador at London. Colonel Hays
knowledge of diplomacy and of Ameri-
can political history and policy is
scarcely surpassed by that of anv man
who could be available for Judge Days
place. The press of the country has
warmly commended the selection. 1t
is to be hoped that President McKin-
ley's selection of Colonel Hays sue
cesscr at London will be as felicitous
as his appointment of Judge Day for
the peace commission and Colonel
Hay for the State Department. It
would certainly be safe and bust
ness-like proceeding to make Mr..
Henry White our ambassador. He
has served us most faithfully and ably
as first secretary of the legation
through many years, and is conver-
SAINT with all the questions that are
likely to require the attention of our
representative at the court of st.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous mem
brane of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma.
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

BAD LEGISLATION.

Z. For the long -drawn-out expen-
sive and extravagant sessions of the in
competent, shameful, disgraceful and
degenerate General Assembly of the
years, A. D., 1897, and A. D., 1898,
which not only failed and neglected to
legislate in the interest of the people,
but also refused to obey the plain and
positive directions of the constitution
relating, first, to fixing salaries for
county officers, and second, to the pas
sage of general Incorporation law by
which, in one case, much revenue is
lost to each of the several counties,
and, in the other, the State has been
and is deprived of much needed reve-
nue.;
8. For, by the aid of said General
Assembly, creating the unnecessary
offices of collectors of poll tax in New
Castle county thereby providing sine
cures for eleven of it's partizans and
burdening the citizens with their sal
aries;
9. For its utter disregard of the law
governing elections in this State. For
its usurpation of the rights of the peo-
pie. For allowing it's corrupt and dis
honorable leaders to substitute for law
and order their corrupt, dangerous,
selfish and unlawful orders, desires
and plans.
We demand that Levy Court in each
county in this State shall publish an
account of their receipts and dirburse-
ments, and we especially demand that
the report of the auditors of the ac-
counts of the Levy Court of New Cas-
tie county for the past year shall be
published.

choice of the people for sheriff of said
county;
8. For creating riot and disorder at
the last sessions of the boards of can

differences and ordinations, and of
presenting a united front in the ap-
preaching campaign to the end that we
may be victorious at the polls next
November, and that wholesome laws
and good government may prevail in
our State to the exclusion of bad men
and bad measures, with which we have
been cursed so long. We will support
with loyalty and enthusiasm single
State ticket of good, honest and capa-
BILE men, fairly and in good faith NOM
mated by the two factions of the party,
to fill the important Offices of State
treasurer, representative of Congress
and of accounts, and we recommend
that common primaries be held in each
of the several counties for all officers
to be elected therein, and that the per-
sons SO nominated be Loyalty suppor-
ted at the polls by all the electors of
both factions, and we aver our interest
in hepeople of the State, and our pa
triOtic devotion to the whole country
and our hopeful desire to have all the
race share the blessings of civilization.

YeIIowst one Park.

OF the four national parks of the West,
the Yellowstone is far the largest, says
John Muir in the April Atlantic 1t is
big, wholesome wilderness on the broad
summit of the Rocky Mountains, favored
with abundance of rain and snow; place
of fountains where the greatest of the
American rivers take their rise. The
central portion is a densely forested and
comparatively level volcanic plateau with
an average elevation of about 5000 feet
above tie sea, surrounded by an impos-
ing host of mountains. Unnumbered
lakes shine in it, united by famous band
of streams that rush up out of hot lava
beds, or fall from the frosty peaks in
channels rocky and bare, messy and bosky,
to the main rivers, singing cheerily on
through every difficulty, cunningly divid-
ing and finding their way east and west to
the two far off seas.
And besides the treasures common to
most mountain regions that are wild and
blessed with kind climate, the park is
full of exciting wonders. The widest
geysers in the world, in bright triumph
ant bands, are dancing and singing in it
amid thousands of boiling springs, beauti-
flu and awful, their basins arrayed in
gorgeous colors like gigantic flowers; and
hot paint pots, mud springs, mud vol
canoes, mush and broth caldrons of every
color and consistenc y, FLASHING, having,
roaring, in bewildering abundance. In
the adjacent mountains, beneath the liv-
ing trees the edges Of petrified forests are
exposed to view like specimens on the
shelves of museum, standing on Lodges
tier above tier where they grew, solemnly
silent in rigid crystalline beauty after
swaying in the winds thousands of
centuries ago, opening marvellous views
back into the years and climates and life
of tie past. Here, too, are hills of spark
ling crystals, hills of sulphur, hills of
glass, hills of einders and ashes, noun
tains of every style of architecture icy or
forested, mountains covered with honey
bloom sweet as Hymettus, mountains
boiled soft like potatoes and colored like
a sunset sky,-a that and a that, and
twice as mukle's that, Nature has on
show in the Yellowstone Park. There it
is called wonderland, and thousands of
tourists and travellers stream into it every
summer, and wander about it enchanted.
