THE OBSERVER.
AN USIUCKY MAN.

During the recent hot weather spell,
no one has been warmer than our old
friend Hon. H. j. Heise. Eve want it
strictly understood that the WORD
warm" is meant literally, and is not
meant TO convey the sense of sporty, !"
"a warm member" ETC., so it is some
times used.) Poor man, it is not hard
to understand, for besides the gener-
Gus proportions with which nature en-
dowed him, Mr.. Heise's very name
means ''hot," so he is above tempera-
ture summer and winter.
UNCLE STEVE.
Old Uncle Steve, who works for pa,
He's the funniest man you ever saw;
IN barn or garden all the day
He works, while jest run and play.
He cuts the grass and saws the wood,
All honest work, seq he, Is good,
And in wink he'll turn his hand
To any job ma may command,
A handy man, you may believe,
Is Uncle Steve.
A worthy task he'll never shirk,
But Uncle Steve can't always work !
So when he hasn't much to do,
He has his argument or two.
He don't lay claim to bein' wise,
But still he likes to filosofze,
And whatsoever point is shown
lou bet his ideas are his own,
And such ideas he can conceive
Can Uucle Steve
He's honest as the day is long,
When he's there nothing can go wrong.
He ends his work with hearty zeal,
Then goes off flying on his wheel,
But everything's not finished till
He shows up next day with his bill,
And though pa whistles, when it's large,
Old Uncle Steve don't overcharge,
Though often others may deceive,
Not Uncle Steve

THE STEEL STRIKE

To-day marks the beginning of
what promises to be serious
fight between capital represented
by the Billion dollar Steel Trust
and labor as represented by the
Amalgamated Association with
the Confederation of Labor in
the background as. a possible
ally of the Association. At least
one hundred thousand and per-
haps two hundred thousand men
will obey the strike order issued
by President Shaffer. And these
are not common laborers but
largely expert steel workers max
ing "good money" President
Shaffer has said in an interview
that he was able to make $23 per
day and that he knew many
workers whose pay was over
$500 per week. This strike
means that from half a million
to a million people will have their
income cut off and that if there
is any suffering it will be the
innocent women and children
dependent on the strikers who
will feel it's effects. In addition
to what the men lose, the Steel
Trust is bound to lose, but as
proven by the Coal strike of last
year, capital knows how to make
the consumer pay its losses,
while labors losses are never
recovered. The greatest fear
is that riot and bloodshed such
as prevailed in 1895 at the time
Of the Carnegie Strike, may
again rule.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR
!. somsthine New under the SUN. .

An Doctors have tried to cure Ca
TARRH by the use Of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous MEM
branes causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannot reach the disease. An
old and experienced practitioner who has
for many years made close study and
speciality of the treatment of CATARRH,
has at last perfected Treatment which
when faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all inflammation.
1t is the only remady known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted parts.
This wonderful remedy is known as
''SNUFFLES the GUARANTEED CA
TARRH CURE'' and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar, each
package containing internal and external
medicine sufficient for full months
treatment and everything necessary to its
perfect use.
''SNUFFLES'' is the only perfect CA
IARRH CURE ever made ana is now re-
cognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all inflammation quickly
and permanently and is also wonderfully
quick to relieve HAY FEVER or COLD
in the HEAD.
CATARRH when neglected often leads
to CONSUMPTION-"SN "SNUFFLES" will
save you if you use it at once. 1t is no
ordinary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed to

but send for it at once, and write full par
ticulars as to your condition, and you

OUR DUTY TO OURSELVES

AS a result of industry noun
tains have been leveled and val
leys have been exalted before it.
The rocky soil has been broken
and turned into fertile glades.
1t has crowned the hill top with
verdue and bound round the feet
of ocean with ridges of golden
grain. 1t has leveled the forest
and turned it into first, the log
cabin Villages, and then the
country town and afterwards the
city. It has made Middletown
what it is to-day, and here we
may say we are enjoying a de-
gree of prosperity not excelled
by any other town. In our
midst we have several industries
employing a number of hands
and turning out goods which are
shipped all over the country, and
which favorably advertise our
little city wherever the product
goes
The proprietors of these plants
have shown their faith in Middle
town as manufacturing and dis
tributing point years ago, and to
them should be given much of
the credit for the prosperity we
enjoy. The fact that our houses
are rented and that our "butcher,
baker and candle stick maker
are doing prosperous business
should encourage US in our
efforts to bring other like enter
nrises to our town. Let our citi-
zens and those who represent
them in our town council always
show d readiness to offer induce
ments to outside enterprises to
locate in our midst, and at the
sansg time increase the privi-
iedoes of our old established
CONCERNS wherever possible. By
1, doing they assist in still fur
ther enlarging those enterprises
1vhich have proven to be valu
able and which directly or indi-
rectly effect every resident of
our town:

.,,.;eesv is a sentiment which

national issue being the
choice of a Legislature, which
will elect Wellington's successor
to the Senate, both parties have
confined their platform to State
issues. The Democrats had the
first say, and boldly announced
their determination to eliminate
the negro from politics, by de-
priving him of his vote in event
of their success at the polls.
They say that Maryland has 49,
600 Democratic majority over the
white Republicans, but that
with the 10000 colored Republi-
cans, they have no chance of
success. They cry NEGRO do
mination," but that cry has no
scare in it for states in which the
whites outnumbered the colored
by five to one as is the case in
Maryland. The Republicans at
their convention announced
"Gorman and Gormanism" as
the issues of the campaign.
There is no doubt that a Demo-
cratic Legislature in Maryland
means Arthur p. German for
Senator, just as Democratic
Legislature in Delaware means
r. r. Kenney and Willard Sauls
bury for Senators. The good
people of Maryland have for six
years repudiated German as
Delaware has Kenney and Sauls-
bury, but with the help of the
newelection law German hopes to
succeed. The machine is badly
scared however, as the result of
the last city election in Baltimore
that the proportion of il
literacy in each party was about
the same. There is this differ
ence, that while the Republicans
have schools of instruction in
throughout the state
and are rapidly getting their
voters educated enough to vote
the ticket, the illiterate Demo
Gratis are sulking and loudly an
nouncing that if their own party
passes a law that disqualifies
them, they can stand it as long
as the party can. In other words
they do not want to vote as
badly as the party needs their
votes. Maryland Republicans
are on the right track and have
the courage of their convictions.
Therefore, they will succeed as
they deserve to succeed, and Mr..
German will remain private
citizen.

New Three.Cent Piece

The new three-cent piece to be issued
by the Government has already been
styled the doughnut coin by reason of
the fact that the piece is to have hole in
the centre. The innovation in the COIN
age of part OF Uncle Sans money was
deemed necessary from the fact that the
coin is the exact size and of the same
material as the present tlve-cent piece.
1t was impossible to keep the old style
three-cent piece i'll circulation because of
the aptitude of the people to mistake it
for the dime or ten-eent piece.

commitments to jail dur
ling the quarter of which at least
5000 were from New Castle.
This is an average Of over 81
per day for every day in the
week, from a city Of about 5000
inhabitants and only about 700
or an average of s per day from
the rest of the county including
the city. of Wilmington. This
mere statement should and does
prove conclusively that there is
fraud somewhere. At and rate
it was conclusive enough for the
comptroller to refuse to approve
the claim of the Sheriff and thus
throw the responsibility upon
the Levy Court. This opens
anew the subject of these COM
mitments and affords the Attor
ney General another avenue of
investigation. There is no doubt
that the county has paid out
many thousand dollars for com
mitments, and board of prisoners,
when the prisoners had nothing
but a paper existence. AS the
Mayor receives forty cents for
committing a man to jail, the
Sheriff fifty three cents for lock-
ing him up, and at least two
days board amounting to forty
cents, the total cost attached to
each commitment is 81. 33. There
fore the amount involved in the
5000 under question is now less
than $4,000 for three months or
SIC, 900 for year.
