story. Some eight months ago cyclone
occurred and on his farm 1t blew over
u strawstack and ut the same time two
hogs mysteriously disappeared. He
searched In vain for his porkers and
finally concluded that the furious winds
had carried them away. A few days
ago he WAS moving the strawstack and
to his astonishment found underneath 1t
his two missing hogs, one alive and the
other dead. The live hog was said to
have been In frightful condition when
released from Its eight months i'm.

acquired that knowledge "by in

lieves that they are incapable OF
learning anything new. There is
probably something in this view,
but if the plantation owner
could divest himself of his own
innate conservatism and lead the
way into new paths of farming,
both the negro and the mule
might learn to follow in time;
the mule certainly would. For
age can be grown in such wealth
of yield in that section that stock
farming Is particularly Indicated
1t Is gratifying to note the growth
of the movement toward stocking
up the South. The beginnings
were made some years ago and
while progress is somewhat slow
it is nevertheless progress. The
work of the Department of Ag.
riculture in such issues as that
just published will materially
stimulate the movement.

DEMOCRATS CAN BE MIsLED.

From the Daily Republican of yesterday.
The great mass OF Democrats in this
State are prepared to weleume Bryan and
also to assist in carrying into effect his
erroneous doctrines of free coinage, free
trade and free ships. They have already
forgotten the hard times that prevailed
under Cleveiand's administration, and
are ready to vote for another change in
the policy OF the government tha6 will
prove even more disastr rus to the la
borers of our country. They held that
Bryan's theories should be given trial
although their experience of the past re-
minds them that their adoption by Con-
gress would lead to business prostration
and the financial ruin of the laboring
class. The men who will greet Mr..
Bryan are willing to sacrifice their inter-
ests and the prosperity of the country
for the benefit of their party and it be-
hooves every intelligent laborer to use
his influence to open their eyes SO they
will not again commit industrial and
financial suicide. When intelligent men
like Mayor Fahev, Prof. Handy, Senator
Kenney, Lawyer Gray and other leading
Dem )crats can be misled by Bryan,
what hope can be had that The great
mass of the party will not follow them?
The times may not suit them exactly and
they are ready, as the old saving goes,
TO jump oul u the frying pan into the
fire."

ANTI-ADDICKSTES CONSIDER

From the Milford News and Advertiser.
The harmony propositions from Mr..
Alice have caused a greater part Of the
Regular Republican party to consider the
situation, and from indications outside
OF those who owe their positions to Mr..
dl Pont, and those who are employed
to edit his newspapers, there is gen
eral desire to bring tine factions TO-
gether.
No man, or men, can be read out OF
any partv-lt is an impossibility, and
neither Mr.. du Pont nor MIR. Addicks
must be permitted to stand in the way
Of Republican success in Delaware.
The Morning News says:
The matter is now before the Republi-
cans Of this State. Let them consider it
seriously and thoughtfully and with a
desire singy for the advantage of the
State and tue party itself. No one man
should be permitted to stand as greater
than the party, and no man is to be per-
mitted to use party for his own personal
advancement. That is the basis upon
which all conferences should be held.
With this we heartily agree.
II a Republican Legislature cannot
agree to elect a Senator. ct Senators,
then for the peace and comfort Of the
State, let them disagree, and Delaware
60 unrepresented. No great harm has
come from vacancy SO far-so let it re-
main II an agreement cannot be made. :.

CANNOT MAKE HIN DRINK.

From Every Evening Of Yesterday.
Iu view Of the approaching visit d
Mr.. Bryan to Delaware, it is a source ol
grief to the Milford Democrat to learn
that the chairman Of the Kent County
Democratic Committee '.s no longer ii
sympathy with the Chicago platform
and Mr.. Bryan" And it adds. "You
can lead a horse to the trough, but you
cannot make him drink. The sails oi
some boats change with the iaintest
passing breeze. Oar chairman will not
give Mr.. Bryan very warm reception.
He will be one OF those that the Every
Evening speaks of as taking to cover
upon the approach Of the great and good
Mr. Bryan" We are sorry for our rgrief-
stricken contemporary, but the facts OF
the situation are SO plainly apparent that
they cannot be disregarded.

POLITICAL THIEVES.

Where an honest ballot does not exist

La the South it might be said that tbs

or more fraudulent ballots.

BRYAN'S INVASION.

II is announced from Omaha that w.
]. Bryan will conduct a campaign
through the east this winter. lie viii
contine himself largely to the New
England states, though lie win devote
some time to the large cities on the At
lantic coast as far south as Richmond.
lie intends to make some speeches, but
the campaign of speeches, he says, will
hardly begin this winter. He, is going
to the New England states primarily
to assist in the organization of Demo
cratic campaign clubs and to give an
impetus to that form of work. The
different states will be visited in detail
and the larger towns organized, and
from them the work of the organiza-
tion is expected to extend into the
rural districts. The announcement fur
ther says:
THE move is not necessarily a boom
in political way for him, but is in
tended to stir the latent spirit of the
Democrats Of that region. Mr.. Bryan
says lie has never had the opportunity
to get acquainted with the people Of
the New England states, and he pro
poses to take this chance. The towns
with large factories, which in the past
have always been Republican, Mr. Bry-
an especially desires to visit He sees
no reason. since tile tariff has practi.
cally disappeared rs an issue why
these factory towns should give reg
ular Republican majority. lie and the
Democratic committee believe this is
due largely 10 the absence of careful
club organization. lie will therefore
make personal campaign through the
winter to this end"
II the tariff has indeed practically
disappeared as an ISSUE" and If, as a
matter of fact, 1t has not been tempo.
rartly shelved for prudential reasons
against the time when the executive
and legislative branches of the govern
ment shall have passed into the hands
of free trade Democrats. one of whom
Mr.. Bryan .is which," as Artemus
Ward used to say, the Nebraska can
didate will be wasting his time. Few
people in New England or the middle
and south Atlantic states will care to
listen to dissertations on "1G to L."
imperialism, expansion" or trusts"
Perhaps the down east Tagalogs may
welcome the advent Of Aguinaido's
great and good friend in their midst,
but they are very few in number, and
the most Of them care nothing about
'the crime OF 1873" 1t is .'the crime
OF lS90," that Of attempting to estab-
lish law, order and good government
in territory belonging to the United
States, that they are worrying about.
The wage earners have no reason to
display enthusiasm over man who
stands now, as in 1896, for so cent dol
lar and no chance to earn 1t, and Mr..
Bryan can tell them nothing about
trusts that they do not already know
much better than he can tell them.
Still, il Nsbraskas favorite son
wants to come into .'tlle onemy's coun-
try,' MS he called 1t three years aGo,
why, let him come. 1t may do him
good. Somstimss it Us helpful to a
