Cxnlcism In Politics
London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
There is scarcely any adjective that
seems, when applied to politician, to
carry with il more popular condemna-
tiOn than cynical" To call a mar
dishonest or self-seeking is far less IN
furious. There is a lurking feeling in
the minds of great number OF people
that no man would trouble himself
about politics unless he hoped to get
something by it, and consequently that
it is useless to expect perfect honesty
from politicians. If they have the vir-
tue at all. they must. it is felt, have il
with a difference. The political con-
science, like the trade conscience. fs
governed by laws of its own. But cyni-
cism Is taken to imply the cOntempla.
ton of dishonesty apart from the cen
sure of it. The cynical statesman
pierces Through the pretenses under
which his contemporaries veil theil
faults, but his keenness of insightisun.
accompanied by moral blame. What h,
sees gives him only amusement He ex
pected nothing else. and the fact uha'
he has got nothing else excites at mos
a pleased appreciation of the accurac,
OF this forecast 1t is the entire alb
senee OF anything like delusion tina
makes cynicism so generally disliked
Our neighbOns' sins are too like ou

DESERVING PRAISE

The President having signed THE
River and Harbor bill, that measure
is now law. and the appropriations will
be available on July 1. We are bound
10 recognize that, on the whole, Della
ware has been wen taken care OF. VIII
mington gets $4,000, which may be
used Immediately, under the direction
OF the engineer and an equal sum
when there is some arrangement for a
disposition OF the sewage. Stories TO
the effect that tho money cannot be
used since the proposition for a new
survey was turned down, are ground
less. The desire was TO authorize a
plan for bulkheading the river, and
this was refused because IL was thought
it would be a bad precedent to estab-
lish. The money may be spent under
the old survey. or the engineer has the
power Of making supplementary sur
vey.
II is due to Congressman Ball TO say
that his work for this appropriation
has been indefatigable, and has borne
fruit In addition TO the sum for our
harbor. a number OF down State
streams have received $4,000 each. OF
course, there have been disappoint-
ments. but Congressman Balls record
in this particular is deserving OF full
praise Few understand the difficulties
he had to overcome to secure what we
have. There were others to consult
besides himself. and in some instances
the win OF others prevailed.
DIR. Balls administration will be re-
membered for at least two things; his
accomplishment in securing these ap-
preparations, and I'm extending the
rural mail system. He kept at 1T day
and night, until Kent county was COW
cred by the system, and then he began
to extend the service in Sussex and
New Castle We predict that ere long
every farmhouse in Delaware will have
the service. and aside from politics, We
should recognize the Accomplishment
The Republicans Of Kent county ap-
parently have a proper conception ol
their duties and responsibilities. AT &
meeting Of their County Committee OF
Saturday last they answered the propo
sition OF the Addicks committee in th'
only sensible way. They were aske'
il they would agree to issue call fo
common primaries, and were requested
to answer at an carly date that TN
matter might be laid before the Ad
dicks State Committee. The answer j
to the effect that proposition OF thi:
or OF any other nature, viii be consid
cred when the Addicks County Com
mittee signifies its right and power I
act upon il. The Republican commit
tee also refuses to recognize the righ
Of a State Committee to direct an
control county affairs. The logic {
this is unanswerable. II the power
which have always been exercised b
County Committees are to be delegate
TO the State Committee, then the colu
" organizations had as well go out
business.

According to DR.. Hanson, an ac-
knowledged authority on the subject,
the prune is 8 valuable article Of food.
He says: IA pound Of prunes is equiv
alent as food TO q gallon Of milk or a
pound Of bread, but is more healthful.
Considered from en- economic stand
point, no fresh meat, fish, milk or
eggs can be provided for the same
cost, and none Of them contains, even
approximately, the same aggregate
OF naturitive elements" An article
in The Farm Truck News on Oalifor-
mia says $4,000 acres T devoted to
prune culture In that state, and that
hCalifornia is full Of prunes." The
1900 crop was given at 40 million
pounds, which is above the usual
average Of 10 million pounds. The
crop for 1900 in California alone would
give nearly two pounds to every man,
woman and child IN the United States,
leaving out Of account the large
quantities grownin Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and other states Of the far
West. The average gross yield per
acre is moderately estimated at $3.50,
and each acre Of the orchard nets the
prune grower s115.

The object of her pity had
paused outside the door, and
then aimlessly crossed the hall to
his uncle's study; but before his
hand had touched the. knob the
door opened and their visitor
came out and passed him, his usu-
ally bland face wearing so black a
look that the younger man stopped
to glance curiOusly after him.
Then he pushed open the door.
A girl sitting by a little sewing
table lifted her face as he entered
a face not beautiful, but which
had worked untold mischief in its
short career.
"What is the matter with Pey-
ton, Bettyi" he asked abruptly.
eve had a discussion said
the girl, with a laugh, ''and I told
him the story of a certain little
bunch of flowers as a moral
which ruff1ed his temper"
Her cousin came nearer, and
looked down at her sternly.
"YOu have danced with him,
and ridden with him, and led him
on, until the whole town couples
your name together; and for a
childish grudge-"
Bette gave a little shrug. "He
spoiled one day for me-" she said;

said, impressively, ''prepare to be

darkly. ono, you will not" be
said, through his teeth. "You

A pair of brown eyes had been
raised mOcklngly to his, and kept
there. For a moment or two he
held out, then the old charm
proved too strong, and he put his
arms arOunt her.
Bette settled her head, with a
faint laugh, against his shoulder.
"YOu always were a bear, Tom,

she flashed another glance into the
intense face above her. "DO you

of the birth of William Mckinley
During his eventful and useful life he
was very fond of and took wonderful
interest in children. I take the liberty
of suggesting that this day be known
as mckinley day" and that at least
some portion of it be set aside by
all the schools of Maine, as Will be done
in other states Of the union, for special
exercises appropriate to the occasion
also that each pupil who desires to dc
so be given an opportunity to contrib
ute his or her mite to the Mckinley
memorial fund. | also suggest that or
the Sunday next preceding the 29tf
of January, the churches pay appropri-
ate tribute to the memory of our late
President and that those who wish il
ray be given an opportunity to hell
on with their contributions this grea
work that shall testify through the
years to come to the love and esteem
ir which the American people cherish
the just fame of one of the creates
men our country has ever produced.
The people of Maine should feel {
pride in having their State take al
honorable and creditable position il
this great work. and should do theil
fun share in making it possible. Con
tributions may be sent to the member
of the county committee or forwarded
direct to the treasurer, William Fl. Dow
