SOME DEPLORABLEDON

Don't put off putting on specta-
cles; you will regret it later on.
Don't think that your eyes are
good because you can see a birds
thought on the church steeple; your
headache may be caused from your
eye strain nevertheless.
Don't be disappointed with your
neighbours glasses because you can't
see through them; they are made
for your nelghbor, not for you.
Don't Judge the glasses by the
frames they are in.
Don't try to tit your own eyes;
that is impossible.
Don't waste time trying on other
peoples glasses; get a pair of your
own fitted,
Don't worry, but if you really
must worry about your eyes, then
worry DIR. J. Harrdes. He knows
something about it and can help
you; your neighbors don't.
Don't wait till you are almost
blind before you get the right glas-
ses; it don't pay.
Don't say anything against DIR.
Harraes because you don't like him;
you have not tried his work and
other people have and they won't
believe you.
Don't think a person has to be
grandma or grandpa before
they need glasses; this was in the
old pine knot and tallow candle
times.
Don't think DR.. Harraes is too
expensive with his glasses because
he is so exceptionally successful in
fitting glasses when the best have
failed. His knowledge and expert
ence are what does the work, and
they have been paid for long ago.
Don't stay away. Go and see
him. You won't regret it.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The great exposition at Paris was
opened on Sunday last and despite the
fact that many of the exhibits were
MOT vet properly arranged, and some of
THE buildings unfinished, the opening
was brilliant success. Work is being
pushed on details and everything will
be in proper shape in a few weeks.
Then there will be presented the most
beautiful, unique and comprehensive
exposition that the world has probably
ever witnessed.
Many subscribers to the Delawarean
are personally interested, MO doubt
just now in this matter, they HAY
ing entered the contest originated by
this paper guaranteeing the winner a
free trip to the exposition.
The contest has been exceedingly
lively in some quarters, and Ito those
interested we would state that DIT will
very likely soon close. Editor Sauls
bury is expected home from his Cali
tornia trip in about week or ten days
when we opine the date of closing the
contest will be announced, and the
name OF the winner will be made pub
lie shortly thereafter.

think he can ram this outrage down

NO JUGGLING CAN D1sPEL FACT

A local article concerning the finan-
cial condition of Kent county, publish
ed in the Delawarean recently, raised
the ire of our neighbor. the Sentinel
The editor of that paper copiously
quotes from our local article and nv
compiling mass of figures which par
take of the flavor of ancient history.
tries strenuously to rob THE Democratic
Levy Court Of this county of the honor
due them for placing the financial
system of the county on a business
basis and thus securing results, which.
while a source of qualification to the
citizens and taxpayers, are appalling
to the leaders of the Republican party.
From the array of figures produced the
-astute editor concludes 10 deny every
material fact given by the Della
warean.
A slight tinge OF remorse for the
. breadth of the assertion made. how
ever, must have assailed the editor
after lie had 50 comfortably proven"
all our assertions false, for he con-
cludes his lengthy article by saving:
I'VE admit an improvement in the
management of county affairs. The
taxes are better collected But he
qualities the statement slightly by at
tributing the betterment Of affairs %
the influence OF two Republican mem
bers and Republican Clerk Of TIE
Peace"
What utter nonsense this is. The
cold facts are that the financial system
OF Kent county has been placed square,
ly ON a practical business basis by
Democratic methods and the benefits
are now being reaped No amount Of
juggling with words or figures will rob
the Democratic party in this county of
Nhe prestige thus gained. The local
ARTICLE in the Delawarean of which our
neighbor complains. was plain reci-
tation of facts as proven by the re-
cords, and they stand there as irrefut-
able proof to be read by any citizen.
The editors fling at collectors who
have not collected in the past, is easily
met by the statement that these
dilatory or delinquent collectors have
been gotten rid of and their places
supplied by new men who will and do
perform their duty. This is a Demo-
cratic system introduced and carried
into effect without the two Republican
votes or admonition from the Republi-
can Clerk of the Peace

WOULD BUY THE NATION.

WOULO Blu THE NATION.
A special from Washington corrobor-
ates the statement sent tout week ago
that the Republican National Commit
tee has decided that the leading trusts
of the country must contribute Sc $780,
600 towards the reelection of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. A circular letter has been
sent to the principal managers of each
of them. The letter, it is stated, was
carefully prepared ait conference be-
tween Senator Hanna and the moneyed
members of the National Committee
The letter calls attention ITO THE profits
the TRUST manufacturers have been en-
abled to secure under Republican rule
and points out that to enjoy them for
four years more the reelection of
President Mckinley lis absolutely
necessary. 1t also calls attention ito
the fact that the expenses of the cam
padgn will be unusually large, because
of the strength THE Democratic party is
developing in all parts fthe country"
The sums demanded are as follows
from the trusts named:
From Carnegie, the Federal Steel
Company and the other members of the
Steel and Iron trust, $500, 900.
From the Cramps and other members
of the ship-building TRUST, 100000.
From the National Biscuit Company,
the Cracker Trust, $15O,OOO.
From the American Wool Company
$15O,OOO
From the American Lead Company,
the Lead TRUST, 100000.
From the Standard Oil Company and
the branches of the TRUST, $500, 900.
From the American Sugar Refining
Company and other members of the
Sugar Trust, 100000.
From the American Tobacco Com
pany and other members of the Tobac-
co trust, $450,OOO.
From the International Paper Com
pany and other members of the Paper
trust, 100000.
From half a dozen smaller trusts and
highly protected" Industries, $780,
900.
This enormous fund is at least 81
100000 more, it is stated, than was ex-
pended by the Republicans in 1896, and
by far the largest ever solicited for a
national campaign. But it must not be
forgotten that there are scores lof other
trusts and protected industries which
will be squeezed" in due time for con-
-ribuiions. The Porto Rico legislation
Is TO be paid for by the trusts which de-
handed it, Truly, we have fallen upon
grave times when the monied oligarchy
his unblushingly proposes to buy the
nations franchise. AS a distinguish
ID Senator recently remarked, 1--WE are
asSuredly nearing the first milestone
.oward this Republics decay" There
5 hope, however, in the American
freeman yet, and that milestone may
lot be reached. Imperialism and
,ligarchy can surely find no lasting 4
odging place in the breasts of freemen.

The question of electing United
States Senators by popular vote in
stead of delegasing the matter to the
Legislatures of the States, is again be-
ing mooted. Last week the lower
house of Congress declared in favor of
an amendment to the Constitution to
bring about this change. But it is
hardly likely The Senate will concur.
On this question we still hold to the
opinion oft expressed that if the people
do their full duty at the primaries and
general election they can as directly
select their Senators as though the
name of the candidate were ON their
ballots.

There can be no longer any doubt a.:
to the object of the warlike pre- arations
now being completed in South Russia
Nearly 250, 900 troops have already been
modified for active service. The Rlaek
sea squadron, with transports, is held

The tension in the relations between
st. Petersburg and the sublime port b.
comes every day more acute. The po.
sition is looked upon with the graves:
apprehension. -.
II the Ottoman government, supported
by Germany, should prove stubbornly
intracticable with regard to Russia S
concessionary demands in Asia Minor,
serious complications must inevitably
ensue. The Russian garrisons in the
Caucasus and along the Armenian
frontier have been increased fourfold
and equipped for active service. Eta
