LAYTON in BLACK AND WHITE

In the personal organ of that hot
headed salaried Addicks fanatic, Sec
retary of State Layton. We find thi.
commentary on the outcome Of the
senatorial balloting:
The Union Republican party is
stronger to-day than il has ever been
and more determined than ever TO win
The day has passed when we can afford
10 compromise with the So-called
Regulars.
Let us look at the record Cf this
man whom Governor HUM made his
secretary Of State, and follow him
through his political evolutions:
lS94-Addicks found him. suikine
sorehead, in Sussex county. and decided
to buy his services.
1S95.-Layton helped Addicks to
deadlock the Legislature against the
return of Anthony Higgins to the
United States Senate. and against the
election Of any other Republican. and
a vacancy resulted.
1S9G.-Layton assisted Addicks in
the work OF defeating the Republican
State ticket.
lS97.-'rhe Democratic Legislature.
which Addicl1s and Layton were in
strumental in electing, sent Richard X.
KenneX a Democrat, to the United
States Senate
1S9S.-Layton endeavored, by a sys-
tenn Of disruption and corruption. to
obtain for Addicks a majority OF the
Legislature, and failed.
iS99.-Layton once more assisted Ad-
dicks in deadloclSlng the Legislature
and preventing the election OF Re
publican successor to George Gray.
Democrat.
l900-Layton engaged in another
conspiracy 10 elect Addicks, and de-
feated the Republican county ticket
in Sussex.
ls0l.-The conspiracy TO elect Ad-
dicks failing, Layton once mere as
sisted in deadlocklng the Legislature,
stood behind and gave encouragement
70 Representative Layton, the Addicl5s
member accused of attempting to bribC
Representative Hearn; announced
that what the Addicksites wanted was
votes and that they didn't care whether
they begged borrowed. bought or stole
them; and spent most of his time OF
the legislative floor lobbying for anC
against measures in which he mad ar
interest.
That's a free-hand pen-plcture OF oul
secretary OF State, who says that thl
day has passed when we can afford Z,
compromise with the so-called Regu
lars The consensus OF opinion IL
that the time has passed when TIN
Regular Republicans can afford Il
compromise with such political mar
plot as Secretary of State Layton.

Every year increases the number Of
woman wage-earners. Fifty years ago
one woman to every ten men worked
for wages. At the present time the
ratio is one to four. And the worst Of
1t is that whenever women invade
channels Of labor formerly occupied ex-
clusively by men the result Is a de-
crease in the average amount Of wages
paid, for woman sets a lower value
upon her labor than a man does, and
in many cases her work is just as good

Delaware this, in all probability, will
not be done, and the most natural be-
lief is that the next senators from
State will be Democrats.
Meanwhile De.aware's lack Of repre-

plea for such reform in the manner of
Ielecting senators as shall render it i'm
possible for one man, obnoxious to me
people of his State, to deprive it Of all
voice in the Senate-the election of the

be on the defensive from the start

Here is an example OF Maryland en-

attention Of the Delaware river and
bay fishermen who suffer so outra.
geously at this hands of the middlemrn.
The Messrs. Ludlum and other Ocean
CITY fishermen are having built a s12.-

pm June. The plant win contain 22 -
.OO0 cubic feet Of space. and is calcu-
lated to freeze fifty barrels of hsh
every "A hours. and manufacture &
tons Of ice In the same period. A stor-
ago capacity Of $500 tons will mean
much toward an increased profit In the
business. Instead Of being compelled
TO force their large catches of fish ON
the market In the hot Summer time
when the season is at its height. they
can with the aid OF the freezer put hum
.dreds Of barrels away and
keep them, II expedient. into
the heart Of the Winter. when
the demand is good and prices
romunerative.' The interest on sl2..
600 at 8 per cent. would be but 5000

TO A DEAD MINSTREL.

Beside the naples mossS foot
The hermit thrush lies dead.
Among the white anemonies,
Like tapers round its bed
Its downy breast Of dappled gray.
It's russell wings are still
Its velvet throat will never more
with heavenly music THRU.
At evenings golden arterglow
what happiness was mine
To hear from out the leafychoir
That eveusong divlre.
so pure and sweet that other sounds
Seemed hushed in sllenVprayer
The while that matches melody
Filled all the listening air.
Sweet minstrel Of the twilight hour,
when purple shadows creep
Through dimly-lighted forest aisles
And flowers close In sleep
Is there no land beyond the stars
Where we shall hear again
Thy hymn OF perfect peace and JOY
When life Is free from pain?
Shall we alone, with sordid lives
Misspent and prone TO sin.
OF all Gods children be the few
Eternal life to win?
Each day you did the Fathers will
And praised Him with a psalm,
Whose peace fell on the troubled heart.
Like Gilead's healing balm.
And cannot He who made the suns
And sees the sparrow's fall
Provide home so fair and large
That it will shelter all?
