One thing the Democratic voters Of
Delaware should be on their guard
against is the nomination of Democratic
candidates for the Legislature with
decided Addioks tendencies. There is
ample ground for the suspicion that u
number of commercial" Democrats
are Oh the hunt for Democratic nomi-
nations for the Legislature, with the
idea that they may, if elected, make
good business Investment ty selling
their votes for Addicks. The experience
Of the last Legislature should make
Democrats careful to SEQ that no more
Addioks Democrats are elected.

The comparative figures Of mortality
in the city Of Chicago, complied by the
health commissioner, DR.. Arthur r.
Reynolds, show that the average dura-
tion of life there has more than doubled
during single generation. In 1869
the average years for the total number
of decedents were 1879. In 1898 they
were 30. A years, an increase Of Ill. 5 per
cent. Based upon figures of popula.
tion, it has been shown that with an
average annual death-rate of l4.4 per
thousand during ls9i-'9s, compared
with like rate of 40,6 per thousand
between lSi5-'54, there has been a
saving of 40,050 lives per snnum out of
the average population Of tho last five
years. These conditions were better,
DR.. Reynolds pointed out, than the
showing for England and Wales, made
the subject Of congratuatory comment
during the Victorian jubilee in 1897.
Besides the increasing length OF life
iu Chicago, an important feature of the
health records is the marked Reduction
in the proportion Of infant and child
mortality to the total mortality of all
ages. They demonstrate reduction Of
30 per cent under one year, Of nearly
SO per cent between one and two years,
and Of more than 40 per cent between
two and five years.

Dress Goods
Here's what fashion is do. |
ing and is going to do this
summer and early fall:
Sleeves of all tailor-Inace |
suits are a little wider at the |
top---more like a mans coat
sleeve-and short enough for
the shirt waist cuff to peep
from under.
Eaton coats of burlap---or
linen crash (5oc a yard), or Of
natural linen (rSc to 35c), are
pleated or strapped into shape
and hold it, strange as it
seems, as we'll as cheviot or
serge.
What beauties they are!
Tailored skirts are pleated
to the knee, haring below, Just
as in the early spring - no
matter whether Of linen, cot
ton or wool.
White serge has jumped
back into favor, but mostly
with the luxurious.
Dresses are still made of
clinging stuffs--barege ($I to
$2.5o), black crepe de chine
Il to SOY and grenadine (5oc
to $1I.5o), and by the way,
grenadine pleated into boleros
is one Of the best late spring
things, and bound to be I'M
common because it is one Of
Fashions last thoughts. Just
as the Raqnin sleeve was held
back until all but Paquin's
patrons had completed their
spring wardrobes.

Mohair and Sicilian
Black mohair, soc to $3.50;
colored, soc to $I.oo.
Black Sicilian, Csc to $ra5;
colored, SI.a5 and $3.50.
Mohair and Sicilian is a reg
ular David and Jonathan COM
bination. When one is worn
so is the other, and both have
been worn ever since the days
of our grandmothers--at least
twice in generation.
4 Just now some Of the pref
test travelling dresses are be-
ing made Of both for the select
few who seem able to forecast
styles. And by next spring
they will likely be as popular
as barege was this spring.
For bathing suits there's
nothing like mohair. We sell
no end Of it, especially black.
Put ON your suit, 60 into the
water, frolic all you like with
Neptune, come out, give your
self a shake--and there you
are. Hardly enough water

The Democratic Stats Convention.
Tho Democratic stain Convention at
Dover, Tuesday, was mo- q partlcu-
larry inspiring event. and was conspicu-
Gus in only two respects. First, that 1t
demanded tho nomination for President
Of man who failed by oror ,hrce
thousand majority to carry the electoral
vote q Delaware four years ago second,
that it attempted to make declaration
upon the money question that practi.
cally means nothing except hostility to
the gold standard. Its declaration in
favor of the use of both gold and
silver upon equal terms was only a
compromise --or. rather subterfuge--o on
the part of men who favor the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver, but are
afraid to say so. 1t differs radically
from the sound declaration OF the
Delaware Democrats In 1906, before
the part, committed suicide at Chi
cago. which was "in favor of the
present monetary standard and opposed
to the free coinage of silver at any
ratio" However. the convention was
harmonious, which is good thing. IT
evidences determination to unitedly
and earnestly tight the Addicks ReFub-
licans this year.
1t only remains to zee what sort OF n
platform the Democratic National Con-
vention at Kansas City will make for
the Democratic party of the country.
Whether IL will make Democratic
declaration, or reaiIrm the Porulistic
principles that brought such sum
mary defeat upon the party four
years ago.

After Analysing the reports of tho
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Burlington, Ia, Hawkeye comes to the
conclusion that 1t is not worthy af its
hire. 1t finds that from April 10th,
1890, to April 10th, 1900, the commits.
sion had before it only $50 complaints,
big and little, important enough to
Justify formal hearing that is to say,
an average of Is a year. The Senate
called for a report Of the commissions
work, which is given in Senate Docu-
ment 3l9 The commission costs
$3.50, 600 year, sum too large to pay,
the Hawkeye thinks, fer is cases year.
Tho report" It says, getting 1t down
fine, ''shows that of the $50 cases 10 10
years 3o were taken into the courts
from the commission, so the commits
sion itself decided only las cases in 10
years, or an average of 141s cases year,
besides the trivial matters which
were of little Importance and which
could and no doubt would have been
adjusted il there were no commission
in existence. u"

No alarm need be felt over the re-
newal Of our gold exports, in the
opinion Of tho New York Evening Post,
as there is nothing IN all OF our hold
ings that we can SO easily spare as q
few millions Of gold. We readily lose
sight Of the fact that we are producers
of gold to the extent of more than
1000, 900 per month, and that we re-
ceive by the back door, from the Klon-
dixie and other Alaskan gold fields, a
sum ranging from sl0,000,oO0 10 500,
600, 600 per year, The official records
account for $4,000, COO duly imported
from British Columbia. How much is
brought in by returning miners in their
own belts and boxes there is no way
Of ascertaining, but it is safe to as.
sumo that we are taking in new gold
from the mines at the rate of S75, goo,
600 per annum. That this Is more than
we have need for in our circulation is
proved by the fact that we now and
then export some portion of 1t. 1t is
one of our products in the same sense
that copper and lead are. II Germany
and France want TO buy some of it,
that fact ought not to disturb our
dreams or have any depressing effec,

The new steel works to be erected on
Cherry Island marsh will prove a
splendid addition to Wilmineton's in
dustries. They are to be- devoted prin-
oirally to steel forgings, including the
forging of shafts for large steamships,
which work lie not now done TO any
extent in this country. 1t is said that
during last year 1872 steamships were
furnished with shafts forged in Europe.
The works will give employment to sew

upon Wilmington's prosperity will be

Local Republican organs still take
delight in alluding sarcastically to the
factional differences of the Democratic
party in Delaware. At least the Della
ware Democrats did not hold two State
Conventions for the selection of ma
tional delegates, and they will not have
a fieht before the national body of the
party for recognition. That is the
difference between the two parties in
Delaware from the factions point of
view.

Nur,h carolina crop Reports.

: The North Carolina State Agricul-
tnral Departments crop report for
June, based on reports made by over
1000 correspondents, shows. In tho
main, a very satisfactory condition Of
affairs. I. was predicted early in the
year that there would Ee large IN
crease 10 tho cotton acreage, This is
now found to he Is per cent. The con-
dition Of cotton is Slightly off, being
only o. per rent. Tobacco acreage fell
of u per cent, and this was brought
about By heavy pressure by the State
Association of Growers, 10 order to
raise the far TOO low price Of bright
leaf, which the hated Tobacco Trust
has SO greatly depressed during the
past 10 years The present condition
OF the tobacco crop is 70. Tho corn
crop makes the best showing of all, its
present condition. compared with last
year, heing 81 per cent better, while
that of wheat is per cent better. Oats
show q decided falling otf-l4 per cent.
The fruit crop makes a good showing,
though this is only relative, as last
year crop was one of the poorest on
record here. The percentages of inn
proved condition as to fruit range from
