HE GENILE All oE BLuEEING

Some three hundred and odd years
ago Puck remarked, Lord, what fools
these mortals bei' Mr.. Addicks early
in life must have come across this re-
mark and adopted it as the keystone
of his business. social and political
system. If his researches in American
Political History had been as thorough
as his researches in the Elizabethan
drama, he would have found an amend
ment to Puck's statement. made by
one Abraham Lincoln, when he stated
that you cannot fool all the people

Delaware to ask them to be continuous

Mr. Addicks has been to the White
House. III my delegation is not seated

Delaware will be defeated" Mamma
il cannot have the cake will pull of
the tablecloth and smash all the things
on the floor" The little boy didn't get
the cake. but was spanked.
Mr.. Addicks proposed some three ol
four years ago to bury the Republi-
can party ten thousand fathoms deep
To besure, hegot some Republicans into
the slime and mud, and they are still
there. but there is still large number
on dry ground with good foundation
Bluffing may win sometimes, but no
all the time.
The Addicks people seem to have
early and often information of the ex
act doings Of all the members Of The
National Committee. and of just wha
the president is going to do. In fact
Mr. Addicks already sees himself {
member OF the United States Senate
but he must not forget that the Repub
lican party Of the State of Delaware
lives for principle; that it cannot for
get that principle, and that it is thu
party Of Lincoln and Grant.

HANNRS FRANK STATEMENT.

Senator Hanna makes emphatic and
indignant denial of the statement that
he had opposed the seating Of Mr.. Quay
because certain enemies OF the Beaver
man had threatened to withhold cam
paign contributions amounting tc
100000 In an interview ON the sub
ject he says:
/ was against Mr. Quay because be.
lieved he was not entitled to a seat In
the Senate. / never promised Mr.. Qua,
on anybody else that ! would vote &c
give him a seat and nobody had any
right TO believe that intended to vote
for him. The story that / had made
such promise when i returned from
Europe is all bosh.
/ studied the case thoroughly.
took into account the precedents estab-
iished In similar cases, and concluded
that Mr.. Quay was not entitled to a
seat on the credentials he presented. ]
want 10 say, furthermore, that / shall
vote against every other man who
comes to the Senate with similar ere
dentials. That is all I care to say.
That is plain, frank statement
worthy of the man who made it. and
il effectually disposes of another Demo
.cratic fabrication intended to engender
hard feeling among Republicans.

II Happened in Drug Store.

zone day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for a brand
of cough medicine that l did not have
in stock" says Mr.. c. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario. n. Y. She
was disappointed and wanted to know
what cough preparation l could recon-
mend. / said to her that | could freely
recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and that she could take a
bottle of the remedy and after giving
it a fair trial if she did not find it
worth the money to bring back the
bottle and l would refund the price
paid. In the course of a day or two
the lady came back in company with
a friend in need of a cough medicine
and advised her to buy a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. / con-
slider that a very good recommendation
for the remedy" The remedy owes its
great popularity and extensive sale in

NEITHER TEAM SCORED.
Skowhegan and Wa.erviIIe High Play Holly
Contested Game. Saturday.

The first game of the season on the
home grounds was played Saturday be
tween the Skowhegan and Watervilie
High school elevens. The attendance was
small because of the weather. which was
cloudy and at times there was q slight
drizzle of rain. The game WAS called at
o'clock, so that it might be finished in
time for the visitors to take the 2.40 train
home Because of this several of the
Skowhegan players were not on hand and
substitutes played for them in the first
half. The game was well played but
neither side scored. The advantage was
clearly with the Skowhegan eleven al
though they lost considerable distance
by off side plays. Clark. Marston and
Green Of the Skowhegan teams, put up Il
fine game. and Bigelow did great defen-
sive work. Both teams got into the game
in dead earnest and sharp. snappy play
ing characterized the game. The lines Of
both teams We're firm and were not bro
ken through during the game and only
small gains We're made around the ends.
In the first half Skowhegan chose the
kickoff, but Waterville failed to advance
and soon lost the ball. Having gained the
