AS soon as the Republican party
gets foothold in Delaware the people
will then awaken to the fact that the
preceding party has been extravagant
and affairs should be inquired into.
But never word is said when the
opposition party Is in power and
spending hundreds, yes thousands of
dollars and overdrawing its yearly
budget by nearly one hundred thous.
and dollars Is it any wonder then
that the tax rate has to be Increased
to meet the deficit and the Legisla-
ture appealed to session after ses
sion to allow the issuing of 1onds to
pay of this debt? 1t has been said
ever since the Republican party came
into prominence that all reforms
sprang from it. The present move.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER S. 1901,

AS men grow old, they in great
many instances, retain the same
Impressions they received when
they we're boys. They forget the
world is not the same to-day as it
was in lS40 or in 1870 The times
have changed and new business
methods have taken the place OF
the old. A new generation has
sprung up and the patrons Of fifty
years ago have nearly all passed
away to their reward in arother
world. The present times demand
new ideas, new machinery aud
young men to execute them. This
is the day OF the live hustling y oung
man and If he don't hustle, he Is
soon lost sight Of and others take
his place. 1t takes a great deal
more capital to eng age in any kind
OF business than it did 40 years
ago. Competition is keener than
ever. and profits have been cut al.
most in two Everything in great

Trusts. The department stores
have driven hundreds OF small
stores to the wall. but such is busi-

been a big revolution since the late
proprietor Of the REPUBLICAN be-

In Philadelphia the tax payers
are having nearly the same trouble
as in this city. Small properties
are assessed up to and often beyond
their values, while large properties
are not assessed for more than half
their value. With high tax rate
and high assessment, the poor
nan is compelled to paw more than
Il he rented. This is a state OF
affairs that is agitating the prop.

Democrats Will Split.

New York, July l6.-" In my opinion
Senator Hill OF New York will be the
next candidate for president OF the regu-
lar democratic party, and the platform
ad pied will, believe be very reac-
tionary one. In fact, believe the party
will split in 1904, and Mr.. Bryan will
lead third party faction in support Of
the issues to which he is still loyal. The
feeling among democrats throughout the
west is that they want to win, and they
don't care rap what sort Of platform
they win on. There is a strong feeling
in that section for the nomination Of Mr..

The laying OF a cable between Cape

In Alaska last summer was interesting
In many ways. 1t was the nrst deep
sea cable of American manufacture to
be laid anywhere and the weather oon-
ditions obtaining on the Alaskan coast,

cable laying operations very precarious.

that 1t makes no charge to any one who
desires to ride on it. The entire popu-

only four times a day. The man on
