THE editor OF the REPUBLICAN
sincerely desires the success Of the
Republican party at the coming
election. To secure that success,
1t is evident that there must be a
union on one set of Republican can
didates. Every man knows this
who has common sense. Two sets
of candidates insures the election
of Democratic Governor, the same
as four years ago. A defeat next
November means defeat for the
next ten years, or until the present
leaders pass away. Such a result
may please Democrats, but it will
not please any earnest Republican
who regards the success of the
party as more important than the
gratific alton of his own ambition.
We do not desire the election of Ad-
dicks to the Senate, but we had bet
ter deter the selection of a Senator
until after it is found the Republl-
cans have a sufficient number in
the Legislative to elect any person
to that position. It is folly to quarrel
over the name OF a child that NAV
never have any existence, and still
greater folly to pull down house
to get rid of an OBJ ectionable ten
ant. Let us save the party first,
and we may settle the Sen atoSial
controversy wards. If we are
to have better laws, we do not ex-
pect to get them through the sue
cess of the Democratic party. The
state Of things in Kentucky should
be warning. The Democrats in
Delaware are little better than in
the Southern States. The obsta-
cles put in the way of Republican
voters in this State should be re-
membered, The ncophytes of to-
day know little or nothing about
them or else they would regard
Democratic election as calamity,
and cease to talk so gliblv about
the possibility of Democratic sue
cess IN order to preserve Republic
can integrity and houor After
getting the yittery, it will be time
to fight over the spoils. That is
the way they do in other States,
and as rule they are just as pure
as the Republicans in Delaware.
W. THE Sun editorially says: "As
~ participated in this column two
days ago. the Democr attic political
editor Of the local du Pont organ,
has announced the disruption and
rum OF the Union Republican party
in Sussex county. This story he
tells under Georgetown date line
is not true. The conclusions he
makes are not even warranted by
his alleged information. Among all
the names he mentions as those of
disatfected Union Republicans,
there is not one who'll been known
as such that will halt or fail in his
10y atty to that party. We say this
upon personal knowledge Of the
present political sentiment and
party relation Of the men named"

IA HEALTHY
CHANGE.
Gradual Decline in Prices
Has Been Beneficial.

NEW YORK, May 26.-R. q. Dun 4
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Transition to more natural range Of
prices after time Of extraordinary buy
ing, speculation and rise Is not wholly de.
lightsome, however needful It may DO to
business health. But the gradual change
this year, though wearying, has given op-
portunity in various branches to avoid
losses. 1t is nearly six months since the
highest prices Of pig iron were reached
Nov. 20, and of wool Dec. /, while hides
reached their maximum Dec. 10, leather
and iron products Jan. 10, boots and
shoes Jan. "a. woolens Feb. q and cot
ton and cotton goods March 81. The
tables given by this paper have shown
that the highest point for all prices was
March 16. and after two months of slow
decline the range for all prices was but
40 per cent lower May 16. But the past
week has added it's full share, a fall Of 10
per cent in cotton, 8 per cent in pig iron,
Id per cent in iron products, per cent
in hides, IN In boots and shoes and 81
in leather. ~ in petroleum and q little
in many other products.
All these are steps toward a renewal Of
uuShSbs VI larger bSdAe. Dul ~ Gull
tinues the fact that actual business by
railroad is now larger than in any pre-
vious year. Earnings reported for May
thus far have been 8 per cent larger than
last year and 1866 per cent larger than in
1893, and this in spite Of comparatively
small grain movement, which renders
more impressive the gain In other mer.
chandise. The heavy failure in cotton
caused sales of many thousand shares Of
stocks which depressed prices on Thurs
day slightly below those Of last week.
But railroad stocks closed with an aver
age IL cents per share higher than a
week ago, while the 40 industrial stocks
averaged shade higher than at the low
est point they ever touched, May II.
The movement of breadstuffs has not
materially changed, Atlantic exports of
wheat. -four included, having been in
four weeks 10,405,3 1897 bushels against
1851. 1865 last year, Pacific exports $751;
701 against 1882, 7OS last year and sx-
ports Of corn 13,917,831 bushels against
10. 2G7, 662 last year. Prices have changed
very little. Failures for the week have
been 1855 in the United States against
142 last year and 20 in Canada against J
10 last year.

HAVANA, May 26.--The largest fare

way, arrived last night on the Hamburg
American liner Furst Bismarck and pro.
ceeded direct to Washington. Said he;
MY present visit to America is for
very pleasant purpose. In 1870 l led
little colony of Swedes over the ocean
and with them founded the settlement Of
New Sweden in the dense forests Of the
north of my native state of Maine. The
colony numbered 81 souls all told, men,
women and children. 1t has grown and
prospered and today has over 1000 hap
py, contented Swedish-American farm
ers. There Is not today a more prosper
GUS agricultural settlement in the United
States than New Sweden. On the 25th
Of June next the colohists celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary of the day when I
led them into the Maine woods, and on
invitation l have sailed from old Sweden
to be with them, speak to them and re-

expressing his congratulations on the sue
cess Of the colony and his best wishes
for its future. also bear with me fine
portrait of the king signed Oscar with
the kings own hand, which he has charg-
ed me to present to the colony.
"Our commerce with Sweden and Nor.
way is in most satisfactory condition.
Only two difficulties have arisen in the
last three years, and they were most
agreeably settled The commerce
amounts to $12,OO000O a year, with the
balance Of trade very much in our favor,
our exports to Sweden alone amounting
to $4,000, 900, consisting of cotton, Pc
troleum, sole leather, pork and cereals
chiefly, and the imports being $4,000
600, chiefly iron. Swedish iron con-
tinues to be the best in the world and is
indispensable in the manufacture Of the
finest cutlery and the, finest drawn wire.
