Ia another column we print an edi-
torlal from the Georgetown Sussex Re
publican on the rumors Of the alleged
intention of Governor-elect HUM 10
appoint DIR. Caleb r. Layton his secre-
tary or State We commend il to the
attention Of our readers, because 1t
demonstrates that even in Di. Laytou's
homo town there is a strong sentiment
against his appointment to such an inn
portant Office. Said an Addicks man
to-day. Layton will be appointed.
HUM cannot help himself We have
him tied mp with promises that he does
not dare TO break We want Layton
for several reasons. but moro particu-
larly bocaGsc we must have man at
the governors elbow to keep him
straight and TO keep us posted on who
sees him and what is said and done.
This is a pretty scheme, TO be sure.
It really places the secretary of state
In the guise OF an Addlcks spotter and
the governor in the guise OF man who
must have an Addcks spy to keep him
straight from an Addicks point of
view In his official acts, and to report
him promptly to AddiclIs or Allee
should he manifest any inclination tc
assert his independence of action. Gov
ernor-elect HUM will not, we are sure
become a willing party to such dis
graceful proposal

Il is well that those Delawareans
who reside in Philadelphia retain
enough affection for their native State
to organize and meet at intervals to
renew old acquaintance and indulge in
pleasant festivities. The fact that
there are two societies Of that char
acter is no reason why thsre
should be any hard feeling. In fact, il
increases the interest and should in.
crease the pleasure. Behind It all there
is the spirit of love for the Diamond
State, and that Is the essence Of the be-

When a preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. IF you GO into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The Judgment
Of the people is infallible because it is im-
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
"s%omething else" in place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
Is not what he represents it to be. Whyg
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our Of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you q substitute for Cascaretg
is a fraud. Beware Of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits Of 4 repu-
tatiOn which another business man has paid
tor, and If his conscience will allow him to
30 SO far, he will 90 farther. If he cheats
bis customer in n way, he will in another

The crowd began to gather as soon as the

few weeks after Van Buren, entered
power, was one Of the causes of his
defeat in 1910. That OF 1873, insths
republican period, helped to reduce
the republican majority in the cleo
toral college in 1876 to one. The nom
etary convulsion Of 1893, which start
ed about a month after Cleveland
went to the white house a second
time, helped to roll up the majority
which was cast against his party in
1896, The Homestead strike in the
summer Of 1892, in which many per
sons were killed and much property
destroyed, in the last year Of Harri'
sons service was n of the reasons
for the republican apathy which
was noticed in that campaign, and for
the republican defeat which came at
the polls. A panic is decidedly inn
probable this year, but labor troubles
and crop failures are always among
the possibilities, and any sort of a
calamity invariably hits the party in
power.
All of these reasons coupled with
the conviction which is doubtless hon
estly entertained that their policy
will, upon presentation appeal with
force to the majority of the people,
together with the fact that it is the
American practice for each side to
make an active fight in every election,
whatever the chances may seem to be,
explain the hope Of Mr.. Bryan and
his supporters that they will carry
the country in 19OG.-Charles M, Har-
vey, in Leslie's Weekly.

a unique example Of q henpeeked
husband was brought to light by q
ov.er PIE. petition for di-
vorce fled in the
aoF Divorce district court Of
Kansas City, Kan, a few days ago.
Leonard w. Holmburg IS the plaintiff
and his allegation, stripped of all
verbiage, says the Kansas City Jour
nal, is that his wife, to whom he was
married in Denver in 1887, refused to
talk, despite the comic paper idea Of
the fair sex to the contrary. Her
silence, which Mr.. Holmburg alleges
has been almost without interruption
since a few months after the mar
riage, has had the effect of undermine
ing his health. The plaintiff partic-
ularizes as to his illness. Because his
wife would 0 talk he was afflicted
with insomnia. Many complaints have
come to the local courts that wives
insisted on talking when their hus-
bands wanted to sleep, and thus
robbed sleep, but it has not before
been set up that a husband did not
rest because Of bis wife's silence.
There were no other charges to sup
port the incompatibility Of temper ex
eept the silence, which was prompted
BY s~ullenness. Absolute divorce is
asked.

Cokine in this city one day last week
and stated that there was gold and sill
yer buried IN the premises and by fur
nishing her some gold and silver to
melt and place in her mineral indicator
she could locate the treasure. The col
ored woman only had SO in silver and
gave it to her to melt; the white wom-
an was to supply the gold to melt with
Il. She took the silver, went of to melt
it and never returned"

New York city has a large colony Of
deaf mutes, who are not cut OFF from
the usual amusements Of life because
Of their amiction. A theatrical manager
was surprised last week by requests
for 20 seats for a theater party, which
was to be made up entirely of deaf
mutes. The play was a lively melo.
drama, and any person with good eye.
sight might readily follow its plot
from the action on the stage without
hearing a word.
