There Is a high regard for the senator.
He is a pleasant gentleman, with an

must be admitted that occasionally he
says something which II said by any
body else would never appear in print.
The senator has been predicting a
commercial war with Europe. He
thinks Europeans are jealous of this
country Doubtless they are, but they
can't afford to so to war over it. The
prosperity of this country does not
hurt Europe. When an American gets
rich and has millions to spend he goes

Is not kept here. Apparently, the
hnaneiers gather wealth for the fun of

II Is true that Europe has to SEND
over here for many things. but instead
of repining about 1t should congratu-
late itself on having place to which
to send. Europe does not need to be
unhappy because it's people ride be-

DELAWARE PEACHES

The Delaware railroad is makingI
necessary to handle the
peach crop, judging from the number
OF specially-fiuted cars on the sidings
down the State. The official estimate
places the crop at a quarter OF a mil
lion Baskets but the total will scarce
ly reach these figures, as the trees are
not heavily laden, and most OF the
fruit will come from Sussex county.
The various diseases, particularly
1.-THE yellows," have made such ravages
that nearly all the orchards OF Kent
have been swept away, and there are
very few young trees to take their
places Besides this, many farmers have
grown discouraged at repeated reverses
during the last few years. and have
neglected their orchards TO such an ex-
tent that they are practically worth
less. The peach belt is now in Sussex
county. and Bridgeville and Milford
will probably be the chief shipping
points for the present year The good
fruit will begin TO come TO market
about the tenth of August and con-
tinue for FIVE or six weeks. The va
rieties extremely early or late are oil
very little consequence. From present
indications the fruit will be unusually
fine, as the neglected and diseased trees
are not bearing. and the fruit is lightly
Eset, giving it a chance to mature prop
erly.
II is a source of great regret that tn,
pre-eminence of Delaware in peach
growing is fast passing away Tn,

every orchard in its path. Once Mid
dletown was the great shipping point
then Wyoming, and now 1t is a tow
well down in Sussex. All Efforts to un
derstand the nature of the disease or {
= end remedy, have ended in failure
and il will not be many years ere peacl
culture in Delaware will be only

farmers from lower Pennsylvania used
to come down the pike to that town in
Conestcga wagons with six horses,

The horses wore bells, each outfit

they went with mixed freight to Co

Mr.. Chandler says that in those days
most of the women worked in. the
fields, and tells of his experiences in
pitching hay while the goOd-lookins

He thinks the race has degenerated,
and the featst of strength which he
describes as having been performed,
bears cut the assertion. The farmers
used to weave sacks for grain from the
hemp they grew. on their farms; these
held three bushels. He tells of a
thrifty old Quaker who told neighbor
if he would shoulder one of those sacks
containing three bushels of wheat and
carry it home he might have it. The
thrifty Qualders heart was much
grieved when he saw his friend throw
the sack over his shoulder and trot of
laughing loudly at the donors dis

IL might have been expected that
the example of the man who turned
his guns on the t-to-be-an-angel
hymn would be speedily followed. A
professor in that wonderful storehOuse
OF surprises, Chicago University, is al
legged TO have told the class in English
literature that the great bulk Of the
church hymns is mere doggerel. He
told them, too. that there is little
poetry that is not unorthodox, and
that there is no poetry whatever in the
psalms and hymns Milder critics might
have made an exception, perhaps, OF
Lead, Kindly Light" and abide With
Me-" and possibly of Rock of Ages,
but not so this inflexible Chicago pro-
fessor. All are. marked for the dust
pile
Thus having disposed OF Brother
Watts and all his hymn-mahng fol-
lowers, the professor concludes tina
II is not well for the world 10 be peo-
pied with Christians exclusively. A
better civilization results from blend
of Christian and pagan ideas. which
perhaps will convey the impression
that this fresh attack on the psalm:
and hymns comes from the pagan sid

EWSPAPER OPINION
Ex-Governor Pattisou

From the Philadelphia Times.
A leader who hesitates for fear Of
oomplicating matters will never lead
to victory. What Democrats need now
is courage-the courage OF their con-
victions Mr.. Bryan has all the cour-
age OF his wrong-headcdness, and ne
has so overawed good Democrats in
Pennsylvania that they are afraid to
say what they know to be true, even
when their brethren elsewhere have
shown them the way. We believe that
the Pennsylvania Democracy will
awaken TO its opportunities this year,
and we do not doubt that the deserved
influence Of Ex-Governor Pattison Will
be usefully exerted in the cause of good
government. He has many qualifica-
tions for successful leadership, but he
has not yet realized the absolute re-
quirements of the present situation.
Until he shall have done so we must
respect his request not TO 'complicate
matters in the next national campaign"
by a suggestion Of his. candidacy.

Abraham G. Chandler. one of the
Oldest citizens of New Castle county,
took his first ride on the electric cars
yesterday, and was as interested as a
child OF 10. In the morning he started
out from his residence for a little
walk, and after covering nearly three
miles. reached Brandywine Springs
where he met some old friends.
Considering the fact that Mr.. Chand-
Ter is nearly 81, one would have sup
posed that the old gentleman would
have been tired, but not so. When
someone suggested a trolley ride to
this city, the invitation was eagerly
accepted.
When he arrived here there were
old friends to see and points ofinterest
to visit. and the old gentleman again
exhibited staying powers in tramping
around the city. He returned 20
Brandywine Springs later in the day
as clipper as a young fellow of IS.
