reason. This nation is nearing crisis
in its history, the solution of which
viii! mean, perhaps, its permanent
veal or woe. The issues which make
this fact plain are so clearly outlined
in the Democratic platform adopted at
Kansas City that no voter can mistake
them or be lured from their consider
alton by any sophistry of the trained
politicians argument. They mean
much to the thinking voter, and he
will give them due consideration. He
will allow no hereditary lines of party
fealty to interfere with his duty of
citizenship in this regard, and the
Democratic party and the country will
be the gamer thereby. There is a
heritage which belongs to us as
American citizens, handed down by
the men who carved out the institu-
tions of this country in the days of &c,
through blood and suffering, and in
culcated the principles which were
to be its stay and preservation in that
document we all revere-the Declara-
ton of Independence. This heritage
is ours to defend and perpetuate
that our posterity may enjoy it as we
have enjoyed it. In no better manner
can we do this than by standing
squarely upon that document and de-
manding a return to it's tenets. This
the Democratic party does plainly and
without equivocation. The National
Republican Administration has been
drifting from these moorings. The
platform of the party adopted at Phila-
delphia shows that the design of that
party is to still further ignore the prin-
ciples embodied in this keystone OF
our Republics arch.
American citizenship in this cam
paign, as perhaps never before, has
the lines so plainly drawn that mistake
will be impossible. In a nutshell, it
is Democracy and the fundamental
principles of this government retained
and concerned; Republicanism and
which mean death to
those fundamental principles. No diff
fculty for honest choosing here.

A WORKING coMMITTEE.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee at its meeting here on Thurs
day, took what we hope will be an
effective step toward the prevention
of bribery and debauchery at the next
general election. The committee has
issued an appeal to all good citizens
of Delaware to cooperate with them
in the effort to be made to strike a
blow at this bane of pure elections.
The programme the committee has
mapped out contemplates the raising
of a fund 10 punish violators of the
election law sufficiently large to in
duee otherwise perhaps disinterested
citizens to become active agents in fer
reting out and bringing to jus ice bribe
takers and their tempters.
Too much weight cannot be attache d
to this work of the committee, and the
members deserve credit for thus early
in the campaign naugurating the
movement, and adopting measures to
put it in practical shape But this
committee has already proved itself to
be an assemblage of earnest workers.
The members possess enthusiasm,
unity of purpose, ability and determi-
nation. OF such an organization we
expect much during the campaign, and
believe we will not be disappointed
An earnest, energetic committee at the
head of the party's affairs will infuse
.earnestness and energy into the ranks
Of the workers. The few meetings a.
ready held by the State Committee in
dicate that we have the sort of organ
ization at the head of affairs which in
sures victory.

FOR vIcE-PRESIDENT.
ATTACK ON DIR. FOWLER.

The Evening Journal is making
violent attacks upon DR.. Fowler, the
Insurance Commissioner of this State,
charging him with incompetency, be-
cause of the failure of the Republic
Savings and Loan Association and the
consequent loss of their money by its
shareholders in Delaware Chapter
274, Volume 21, Laws of Delaware,
provides for the government of build
ing and loan associations doing bust
mess in this State. Under the condi-
tions therein provided the Insurance
Commissioner is to license foreign
building and loan associations and
certain express duties are thereby i'm
posed upon him in regard to them.
The Republic Savings and Loan AS
sociation, we are informed, did apply
to DR.. Fowler for license to do bust
ness in this State, rendering him a
check for one hundred dollars for an
nWal license fee. As the securities
offered the State Treasurer by said as
sociation were not approved, the In
surance Commissioner refused to issue
the license and returned the check of
One hundred dollars.
We regret that citizens Of the State
should have lost money by this asso-
citation, but Dr.. Fowler should NOT be
blamed for any lass unless due to a
failure on his part to perform his Off
cial duty. The duties of The Insurance
Commissioner in regard 10 these build
ing and loan associations are imposed
by the statute. Instead of abusing Dr.
Fowler in general terms for alleged in
competency, let the Journal point out
what duty expressly imposed upon him
by the law, on the conditions therein
stated, has been neglected.

DisastpOus Fire.

The fire which des s.royed the i'm
mense Swamp Root medicine plant OF
DR.. kilmer & Co., July /, was the most
disastrous which has ever occurred in
Binghamton. However, the Kilmers
resumed business next morning, though
not at the old stand, which is heap of
smouldered ashes. While the firemen
were YET pouring water on the burning
Chesango street establishment, the Kill
mers were arranging TO do business
somewhere else.
That this great industry might not
be crippled for a moment, through the
courtesy of other prominent firms and
citizens, the large factory and adjoin-
ing buildings ion South street were
vacated for the benefit of the Swamp
Root people, and possession was taken
Immediately, and here, by Monday
July 8, this new, temporary factory
will be turning out Swamp Root, the
great Kidney Remedy, in quantities
of about 10000 bottles per day, and in
two or three weeks time the full ca
pacity or more than four times that
amount will be produced. The immense
demand for Swamp Root will thus in
no way be interfered with.
On the old site, with adjoining prop
erty which has just been purchased,
will be erected Immediately an abso-
lutely fire-proof six-story structure,
plans for which have been nearly com
pleted.

ing the National Democratic platform
and candidates, is commendable, but it
is only what was to be expected from
this organization of Delaware Demo-
Gratis. The club went further in the
resolutions it adopted. 1t pledged its
"unceasing support to all laws for the
preservation of the purity of the bal
lot in this State" Upon this subjec,
the Democratic party of this State is
united. No debauchery or corruption
must be allowed hereafter to interfere
with the honest exercise of the cleo

WHY DEMOCRACY is UNITED
AND ENTHUSIASTIC

Just at present the political news
writer's are busily engaged chronicling
the names of men of prominence, who
have transferred their allegiance from
one party 10 the other. Up TO date the
Democratic party has assuredly The
best of matters on this line, as the
Delawareans S news columns to day will
indicate. The list of men who have
already tbresworn allegiance TO the
Mckinley Administration and an
nounced their intention of supporting
the platform adopted at Kansas City,
embraces names that have won ma
tional reputation. These men, of
course, will have their following and
influence, and bring strength to the
party's ranks, and this is acceptable
and ito be desired.
But with all due respect to this
feature, the grand incentive for con-
graduation among Democrats at pres
ent is the magnificent and enthusiastic
manner in which the old-time party
members are swinging in for ticket and
platform and the enthusiasm they
evince for the success of the party.
Herein lies the true strength of the
( Democratic party-in its own mem
bership. Seldom in its history has the
Democratic party, Immediately after
National Convention, so spontaneously
and unanimously entered the arena to
do battle with its political foe. No
sectional or State interests have check
ed this outburst of enthusiasm. 1t is
universal and broadcast. North, South,
East and West alike are enlisted with
one object, that of bringing success to
the party's banners.
There is reason for this, very grave

DEATH OF SAMUEL ROBERTS.
PASSED AWAY MONDAY MORNING AFTER
A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.
He was a Director of the Fruit Growers
Bank and a Prominent Member of
Asbury NJ. E. Church.

Mr.. Samuel Roberts, one of our ell
derly and most respected citizens, fell
asleep, so it seemed, and passed away
about four o'clock Monday morning.
He had been in declining health since
the death of his wife sixteen months
ago.
1t was with the greatest care and
watchfulness that he was carried
through the past winter, but the drop
sical tendency improved as the weather
grew warmer, and he was able to get
out of doors and take occasional rides.
His i'll health returned with the APP
proach of winter and it has been evil
dent for weeks that the end must come
soon. He was "A years of age lacking
a day.
Mr.. Roberts life was one of singular
equanimity: he was always the same,
kind and forbeariug, and in this way
exemplified the religion he professed
He was as nearly without enemies as
it was possible for man to be. For
tunately, he was able to live within his
own means and thus was not brought
much in contact with those who used
or misused the friendship of others.
He had been for number of years q
trustee and steward in the Methodist
church, and was one of its recognized
careful but liberal supporter. He had
also been director of the Fruit Grow
ers' National Bank since it start 2
years ago.
He, as well as his wife, in her life
time, were among the most ragular il
attendance on the public services o
the church.
He was born and grew up IN tn
lower part of New Castle county, ant
resided on one of his farms in Black
bird Hundred until his two sons, job
and James had grown up and wer
able to take them, when he bougb

PRESBYTERIAN SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT.
Held With Much Success at the Church
Last Friday Evening.

The Presbyterians gave their Sun
day School Treat on Thursday even
ing, and it was largely attended by the
scholars and members of the denomi-
nation. The church was attractive
decorated There were four Christmas
trees, from which were hung a num-
ber of fancy colored stockings,
made of SILICA. Each stocking con-
tanned a quantity of candy.
The exercises were presided over by
the superintendent, Mr.. Geo. w. Tay
lor, and the singing was much
strengthened and enlivened by an or
chestra of five pieces, consisting of j.
W. Watkins and w. G. Anthony on
the cornet, Miss Grace Lloyd and
Edw. Beck on the violins, and Mrs.
F. F. Evans on the piano. The pro-
programme opened with singing,
followed by prayer, after which
recitation was delivered by Miss
Mary Warner. When the school
and superintendent had concluded re-
sponsive readings, the primary depart
ment gave a well-rendered exercise,
then hymn was sung, and Miss Beu-
lah Ransom advanced to the platform
and rendered recitation.
At this part of the program, came
the Sunday School treat, and as each

with a stocking full of candy.
The program was concluded with 6

CHESWOLD BUSINESS CHANGE.
5. Brady Cooper has Sold Out His General
Merchandise Business to D. F. &

S. Brady Cooper, who recently pur-
chased the large merchandise business
of w. F. Collins, has created consider
able surprise by selling out his entire
stock and business to Messrs. d. f. 6

make the change owing to his
health. Since he took ahold of the

compelled to give up.

The good women of Smyrna Union,
w. G. 7. u, held a most pleasant
"Silver Offering Reception" at the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
Hudson on Mt. Vernon street, on
Thursday evening. 1t was largely at
tended and was one of the splendid
social events of the holidays. The
house was beautifully decorated with
holly, palms and other evergreens, and
quite in evidence among the decora-
tions was the pure white ribbon, so
emblematic of the W. G. T. U.
The guests on entering were taken
in hand by the Introducing committee
composed of Miss Sue Colt, Miss
Emma WIlds, Mrs. John A. Hoffecker,
Mrs. Charles H. Register. and Mrs.

Besides the splendid social greeting
indulged in during the evening, there
was some excellent musical talent rem
dered. There was present with the
company, Professor G. Virgil Gordon,
of the Virgil Piano School, New York
City, former Smyrna boy, in whom
our citizens take great deal of pride
His piano recitals were treat to the
reception, and one of the most enjoya
BILE features of the evening. In addi
ton to the piano recitals of Prof
Gordon, there was also excellent musi
rendered by Miss NJ. Edith Beck
Miss Arie Hynson, and Miss Berth
Smithers.
During the pleasant entertainment
the guests were not forgotten by tn
Dining Room Committee. At tb
head of this committee was Mrs
George Hall, and all were invited t
the dining room to partake of a whole
some repast of chicken salad, coffe
and biscuits.
The silver offering amounted I
nearly $3.50 for which the ladies fee
very grateful. 1t will save them tn
trouble and anxiety of working up a
entertainment.
