A WORD OF CAUTION,

The old saying that "a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying That you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and a certificate
10 the TACT, in the form of a diploma,
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer Of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
%stitute, Buffalo. N. ", has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice that a word OF caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
hat you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is lust as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
anu paints. But theSe artists gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con
suit DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con
sultations are absolutely private, Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sen in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
Iepulsive examinations may be avoided.

ENOUGH VOTES TO SEAT QUAY.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Convinced that
a sufficient number of votes have been
pledged to seat Matthew S. Quay as
senator from Pennsylvania, his oppon-
ents are nov seeking to keep him out
by preventing consideration Of his case.
When the currency bill is out of the
way an effort will be made to sidetrack
the Quay case by pressing the Puerto
Rican bill, Mr.. Quay's opponents argu-
ing that this and other matters Of great
national Importance should not be al
lowed to suffer because of a contest
over one mans seat in the senate. Mr..
Quay's friends will oppose any further
delay. When onc taken up 1t is not
likely the debate will be long and there
is little doubt Mr.. Quay will be seated.

THERE seems to be a question as to
whether "Free Silver" is living or
dead issue. William jennings Bryan
in response to the question, Chow
about 16 to -" put to him at a meet
ing at which he spoke in Ann Harbor,
Mich, on Thursday, Oct. 18th, said,
''The Democratic party is for the free
coinage of siluer at the ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the consent of any
other nation.
Here in Delaware we have Demo-
Gratis of prominence who repudiated
Bryan four years ago because he was
the apostle of Free Silver, and who are
supporting him this year because they
say "Free Silver is dead and the par
amount issue is Imperialism.

Democrats Fighting.

FactiOnal differences in the Demo
cratic party in Baltimore are rampant.
The continued disaffectiOn of the gold
Democrats, many of whom contributed
to the party treasury in the last two or
three campaigns, causes a lack Of
funds. Then the quarrel between the
Rasin and the organization people on
one side and Mayor Hayes and the
Morrison people and their friends on
the other has become very bitter. The
latter openly charge that the money
contributed to help to elect Bryan will
be saved to help Rasin in his fight in
the primaries in November and again
next spring. AS a result the Hayes.
Morrison people have refused to con-
tribute to the general campaign fund
and are making up special fund. part
Of which may be used in the present
campaign. but the major portion. it is
believed. will be used in the primary
fights.
1t is feared by the leaders that the
factiOnal fight among the Democrats
will cause the city to go so strongly for
Mckinley that the Bryan majority in
the counties will be overcome.

The effort of the Government to in
stitute civil rule as fast as possible
among the Filipinos at Manila shows
that as people they are yet unfit to
administer justice. They seem not to
comprehend the meaning of the word.
The courts are composed of four JUS
tices of the peace and four primary
courts. The magistrates are all Flip
nos and developments have proved
that the incumbents are utter failures
as administrators ofjustice. Evidence
is in the hands of the authorities which
it is claimed, will show that the magis-
trates have been guilty of the gross
est corruption and malfeasance of Of
fee. One magistrate was recently
suspended on suspicion of criminal
abuse of power and attempt to defraud.
The monthly collection of fines of
the four native justices is estimated at
$4,000. They deposit less than 800
monthly and are alleged to appropriate
the balance of their collections 1t is
further claimed that the magistrates
are in collusion with the native police
in compromising offenses on the basis
of leash for freedom" and that in many
instances, magistrates who committed
men to Jail over year ago are now
liberating them without trial. 1t is
said that there are over 20 established
instances where prisoners have bought
their freedom from the guards convey
ing them between the court room and
the Jail.
The members of the Taft commits
sion intend to substitute honest Amer
leans from the United States for native
magistrates.

PULL DOWN THE FLAG"

Bryan's Policy Makes Mckinley
Man Out of a Lifelong Democrat.
Mr.. George B. Weston of Belcher-
town, Mass. writes as follows:
II have voted the Democratic ticket
since Franklin Pierce was our presi-
dent, but the pull down the flag and
sneak home policy is too big a dose,
and if l live | shall vote for McKin-
ley.
ANY American in whose soul dwells
one spark of national pride, who is
willing to humiliate his country in the
eyes of the world, should be stood up
and shot.
"GO ask old vOyagers who have track
ed the globe and sailed the seas what
they think of the flag in foreign ports
or In midocean.

gers on my memory in the long ago

1t may be trife early yet to Judge
of the wind by the way the straws
blow but the Philadelphia Record of
Monday indicated that it was strongly
in the direction of Mckinley. In
fact, after summarizing the closely
contested States it says the indica-
tions are favorable to victory for the
Republicans. The canvas in Delaware
seems to be in the same way. Both
parties are claiming it but the Repub-
licans feel sure, not only in the State
ticket, but also of the Legislature.

Railroads Watch the Election.

J. y. Eddy. organizer of the El PaSO
and Northeastern railway. says that on
the result of the presidential election
depends the pending deal for the abb
sorption of the FL Paso and Northeast
ern by the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific and the building of a through
line westward. If Mckinley is elected,
lie says. the roads will connect their
lines. Trade in the orient. he says is
the inducement for transcontinental
line, and If Bryan is elected the eXpan-
sion policy will be defeated and ell
hopes of railroad promoters shattered.
The building of line from Salt Lake
to the lower coast. the extension Of
the Rock Island. the completion of the
Stillwell line TO Port Stillwell and the
westward movement of the Pecos val
ley and other roads, he says, are the
direct result of the expansion policy
md for no other purpose than to secure
the oriental trade.
Smyrna times., 1900-10-17

The Philadelphia Times which has
recently come out as a full hedged
Bryan organ, and gives considerable
attention to Delaware affairs, goes to
great pains to show the pernicious eff
feet of the corporation law of this State
upon the nations at large, charging
that it was a Republican measure.
The bill was introduced in the house
early in January by Mr.. Davis, Re-
publican, but was net put on its final
passage until Feb. 2Sth where it was
adopted unanimously as the following
vote will show:
Regular Republicans-Messrs. Dem
nison, Burns, Hazard, Kitchen, LattO-
mus, Robertson, West and Speaker
Clark-s.
Union epublicans-Messrs. Buell.,
Davis, FAIRIES, Frazier, Frizzel, Her
ing, Hunter, Hushebeck, Jenkins, Sat-
terfeld, Short and Tharp.-12.
Democrats = Messrs. Cottingham,
DOnahoe, Donovan, Jester, King, Nc
Nulty, O'day, Rose, Shalcross, Taylor
and WagamOn.-11.
And on the strength of that vote, the
bill was sent to the Senate for concur
ance. After the bill had been reported
Mr.. Meridith, Democrat, March Sth
moved that it be put on its passage.
It was read, and the unanimous vote
in its favor was as follows:
Regular Republicans -Messrs. Knox,
McFarlane and Shakespeare .-3.
Union Republicans-Messrs Abbott,
Alice, Blakeley, Brasure and Penne-
Wills.
Democrats -Messrs. Farlow, Hart,
Maull, Meredith, Moore, Pyle, Slaugh-
ter and President pro tenn Salmons. s.
There was not a negative vote.
It was taken back to the House, en-
rolled, compared, reported, signed by
the Democratic president of the Sen
ate and the Republican speaker of the
the House, and sent to Governor Tun-
nell, Democrat with the veto power,
who approved it and put in operation.
Not that alone, but in the Demo
cratic state platform a plank will be
found based on the revenue-producing
power of that very bill. 1t is in effect
that there has been such an improve.
ment in the State revenues that the
State taxes on manufacturing con
Germs should be reduced,
It will thus be seen that the efforts
of the Philadelphia Times to make it g
party measure will not in any sens,
hold water.

1T is a sign of better political work
in Wilmington that the effort at cor
ruption at the late Republican primary
is to be followed by legal contest be-
fore the court. We are glad to see
this movement among the Republi-
cans. 1t is an old political trick in
Wilmington primaries which the Dem
ocrats complained of, but failed to
give an application of law. Thursday
warrants were sworn out by John G.
McCauley before Magistrate John A.

thereby being guilty of willful and
corrupt perjury. They waived hear
ing and gave bail in the sum of $500

is for substituting tickets for those

cause they put on several Republicans

lation. Mr.. Handy charges that the or

WILL KEEP CENTENNIAL.
The One Hundredth Anniversary of
the First Congress in Washing
ton to BE Celebrated.

Washington. Nov. 20.--Monday was
the one hundredth anniversary of the
meeting of the first congress which as
sembled in Washington after the cap
ital of the republic was transferred
to this city from Philadelphia. The
centennial anniversary of the removal
of the seat of government to this city
is to be elaborately celebrated Decem-
Der H. Exercises will be held at the
capital and the white house of an ap-
propriate character. The occasion in
many respects is to be commemorative
of the growth of the republic during
the century. The governors of all the
states. as well as many other distin-
guished guests, are to be present. All
the departments will be closed. One
of the features of the celebration will
be military parade which will con-
trast the uniforms and accoutrements
of the militia of hundred years ago
with those of the present day. In con-
nection with the event there is pro-
ject for an enlargement of the execu-
tive mansion to a scale commensurate
with the present features and grandeur
of the country.
