piiblic affairs, in old experience and in
breadth of view there are few men in
either party Who surpass Hon. John
Tyler Morgan. Of Alabama. He belongs
with statesmen OF the old-fashi0ned
democratic type. lie holds The old
democratic faith as 10 expansion. lie
is out OF favor with some OF the Bryan
worshippers. In his own state the
monkey people are attacking him.
Hon. Arthur Pue German, of Mary
land is a shrewd and long-headed or
ganizer and manager, somewhat dis
credited by his unpatriotic course dur
ing his last days in the Senate; some
what discredited also by his character
listic ambiguity. and not honored too
much for the scarcely shining victory
which he won last year by muffllng
democratic principles. But the man
has brains in his head and not merely
thinking cymhals such as Hon. Jim
Jones. of Arkansas, and many OF the
lother Bryanite magnates wear.
"Of the true blue Bryanites one, and
but one, Hon. John Peter Altgeld,
seems to us really formidable. He has
mental power, force Of statement. saw

Fewer Lynehlnas.

Probably ninety-nine newspaper
rcnders ont Of every hundred, if asked
for their impressions at the end of
1s9q would have said that they sup
nosod there had been more cases OF
ignching in this country last year than
Eco any previous twelvemonth. It is
therefore a pleasant surprise to find
that the statistician OF the Chicago
Tihune who has Kept track of the
iulres for many years can report that
the record was really the smallest
since 1885 There is no explanation
of the apparent mystery which is not
rcneraly thought of. Public sentiment
AGAINST lvnching has been growing
steadily throughout the country. and
especially In the south. where the
practice has been most common. The
result is that the press gives much
greater publicity to reports OF all
such outrages now than formerly and
1f7 cases during 1899 consequently at
tiactad more attention than would
twice as many fifteen years ago.-N.

What He wanted.

There was an enterprising Liverpool
tailor who has never been known to
acknowledge that ne didn't have any
thing a possible customer might ASK
for.
One day a customer entered the
shop and asked If lie had any trousers
made especially for one-legged men.
Certainly" replied the merchant.
What kind do you want?'
Dress trousers said the man.
THE best you've cot"
Hurrying to the rear of the store,
'the cnterprising merchant snatched
mp a pair Of trousers and shipped of
the right leg. Hastily turning under
the edges he presented them to the
Gus Omer.
That's the kind l want What's the
prce"

"Well give me a pair with the left

THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.

The Regular Republican State Com
mittee met at Dover yesterday and
formulated and forwarded to the Union
Republicans a response to the recent
letter Of the latter submitting a propo-
sition for harmonizing the two parties,
What the rank and file of the party
at large in the state thinks of the situ-
alton, and how it regards these two APP
parently incompatible propositions
must yet be ascertained.
AS matters now stand fusion is APP
parently impossible. so far as the two
committees are concerned. The re-
Spouse Of the regulars is a serious ar
raignment Of the union leaders, and es-
peclally Of Mr.. Addicks.
Nevertheless, il remains true that the
majority of all the republicans OF the
state, regardless of faction, have the
right to choose who shall represent
them at Washington.
Hopeless as the case looks upon tn,
surface. there is yet hope for the party
in Delaware. 1t is possible that while
remaining antagonistic as to the posi-
ton of Mr. Addicks, both factions may
have republicanism enough at heart tC
mutually select state and local candi
dates, except for the Legislature. II
such case there would be assurance o
the election Of republican state anC
local candidates; chances being tina
there would be a democratic majority
in the Legislature.
That would. Of course, assure cleo
ton OF two democrats to the Unite,
States Senate. Are the republicans Will
ing to see such a result? If not, how
is 1t to be avoided? Possibly the ranl
and file Of the party may exert its pres
sure and force such mutual concession
as will effect a concentration Of th'
party strength upon terms not yet sug
gested.

The sheep DOGS W Iris country come
by their nature an training honestly,
Cor either they Oe their ancestors
came from the sheep-dotted hills Of
ENGLAND, Scotland or Wales, where
Tor generations past the supreme ef-
fort of the shepherd has been to pro-
dice a perfect sheep dog. They have
succeeded well. FOR no man could ex.
Gel them in sheep lore. no man could
be more useful to the sheep owner, for
man is neither so persi stent and agile,
Possesses such endurance, or is so
sentle under training and reproof.

and wherefore of his affection, for the
worst sort of a brutal shepherd may
have the most faithful dog one that

tently await his masters coming and
Guide his Keeling footsteps to his

On the great plains of the west
these dogs have made it possible for
one man to care for three or four
thousand sheep in one flock. All they
ask is a bite to eat, and once in a
while when their feet are filed with
the sharp thorns of the cactus they
WI come to have them taken out
There is no value on a well-trained

herder who falls so low as to part

buyer might rue his bargain, for the

In the new country the work of the
sheep dog is hard; Il is on a big scale.
~ the old country the work is easier,

country the dog may drive two thou

may drive three or four, which takes
more thought and skill In the old
country the feature of every country

cog trials. A trophy is the annual
pize, and the Shepherds and their
dogs come from afar to try for the

l9ncly and insignificant brute, which
siinks to the heels OF his master like
creature of no shirt, but send him
after the sheep and his whole charac-
ter seems to change. He is slow and

In a letter to the Wilmington Demo-

orously into the yitals of the Delaware
democratic leaders who in 1896 repu-
dated his 5O-cent dollar platform. Evil
IDENTIFY he purposes waging offensive
warfare on all anti-Bryanites. He de-
nounces these leaders as incompetents,
They might respond. not inaptly, that
incompetent leadership in 1896 and
since, is what ails the national demo-
cratic party now; and they might also
remind him that that party had in
1896 ana has now but one leader, who
is William jennings Bryan. Mr..
Bryan says:

before the campaign closes the ranks
