The new Bryan cabinet has not
yet been slated. The cabinets
which were to have been, Of 1896
and 1900, will require some chang
ing for 1904, since several of the
members have slid over into the
ootopi class.
The Honorable James Griggs, the
new democratic oracle, seems to
have suddenly subsidized. Possibly
he is simply gaining headway for
another series of full head on rush
representations of democratic vic
tory.
The first sign of sagacity in the
democratic party was the spectacle
of Mr.. German and Mr.. Hill in con-
ference at Saratoga. They are ri
yals of course, but they are not as
devoid of sense as some of the party
leaders.
The democracy is beyond doubt
sorely in need of leader, but it is
in yet greater need of a few funda-
mental principles which will mean
the same thing north, south, east
and west. The party has not such
a resource today.
An indication of the enormous
amount of business that tine rail-
roads of the country are doing in
performing their part Of the coun-
try's commercial activity is seen in
a statement of the Baltimore g. Ohio
railroad showing that that road has
within the last year ordered 254
new locomotives and over 5000 new
cars.
An Oklahoma crowd took two
desperadoes from the county Jail
strung them up to a tree and nearly
strangled them, forcing them to tell
the whereabouts of their pals and
the latter's plans. Here is the ropo
cure for you. It is far more painful
and dangerous than the water cure
and yet we have no Mortified cries
over this incident from the Anti
Imperialist League Why this dis
crimination against residents Of the
country in favor of numbering Fill
pinos? The excuse for an outory in
this case is far greater than that Of
fered by the disciphning by Ameri-
cans Of Filipino bandits, robbers
and murderers.

A building which promises 90 be
one Of the most beautiful in the city
Of Washington is nearing completion
and will be ready for occupancy in
October. It is the Carnegie library,
for the building and establishment Of
which Mr.. Andrew Carnegie donated
to the city Of Washington $3.50, 600.
The building which is an imposing
structure is built on massive lines
with little attempt at ornamentation.
In addition to a reading room for
adults, one for children and a news
paper room, il contains accommoda-
tions for approximately $500, 700
books. Every attention has been
given to the lighting and ventilation
and the massiveness of the walls is
guarantee that it will remain a
boon to Washingtonians and a monu-
ment to the great benefactor many
years after his generation shall have
passed away. The committee which
has the matter in charge is making
arrangements for elaborate dedicatory
exercises and it is anticipated that
Mr.. Carnegie will himself be present.
The death Of Congressman de Graf
fenreid of Texas will be a matter Of
regret to all who have come in CON
tact with the genial Texan. Mr..
de Graffenreid's death came very
suddenly, while he was staying at a
Washington hotel, away from friends
and family. He was a powerful
man the picture of health. In fact,
he was generally known as ''the
Black Eagle of the Piney Woods"
a title for for which he had a great.
The news comes from New York
and is generally credited, that the
great anthracite coal strike will end
on next Tuesday. The fear that the
price of coal would be seriously en-
hanced by the forced idleness of the
mines has been an occasion of worry
to the republican leaders as they
feared it might have some effect on
the fall elections but that fear is dis
sipated by the encouraging news in
regard to the mines.

ooooa Hulls as a Stock Food


The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has recently received for exam
ination a sample of cocoa hulls Of
fered for sale as cattle food. This
is the first appearance of this ma
terial in the Pennsylvania cattle
food markets that has come to the
stations attention. The husk makes
up IL to 20 per cent of the entire
bean, of which the United States
imports over forty million pounds
annually. These hulls are used to
a considerable extent in preparing
coatings of cheap confectionery, and
for making a cheap drink. Their
use as a cattle-food has been little
studied. The sample received had a
chocolate brown color and the cocoa
odor and flavor. Albert fed COCOA
hull to steers, in quantities increas-
ing from one to twenty pounds, and
found they soon we're fond of it and
that its feeding value was interme-
diate between that of meadow hay
and wheat bran. 1t promises to be
a desirable addition to oIr list of
commercial feeding stuffs, though
not of sufficiently high grade to
warrant its purchase at a price.

Just returned from Indiana and de-
scribes the situation in that state
in glowing terms. He says that a
full corps of state officers, with the
exception Of governor and lieutenant
governor, will be elected and that he
regards the prospects Of every repub-
lican candidate as good, notwith-
standing that the campaign has not
actually opened. Mr.. Wishard bases
his sanguine predictions on the fact
that the democrats are badly divided
and are fighting among themselves.
He says the free silver democrats and
the gold democrats can never unite,
that they are both absolutely tena-
cious Of their own views and are sus-
picious of each other. In fact, he
states that in many instances the
hatred by the silver faction Of the
gold faction is more bitter than that
felt for the republicans. Under these
circumstances, there will be Inuch
scratching Of ballots and the republic
can ticket will be elected by a major
ity Of from 10000 to %, 900.

The apparent triumph for Senator

with a certain complacency by the

would have made for its longer life
in the state, but the Tillmanism is
disgusting to the better element aud
that the sooner the voters appreciate
that their only alternative is 20 elect
democratic candidates, the sooner
the state may be placed in the repub-

TRUSTEES MEET
WITH LEVY COURT
Ask for $4,000 to Help Out
This Year
Wilmington Hundred Criticised for
the MOncV Spent on Outside
County Relief

When the Trustees Of the Poor con-
fegTed with the members of the Levy
Court yesterday afternoon, Joseph
Parker presented the statement of the
hoard and explained the different
items.
Mr.. WiEdts, as chairman of the FL
nance Committee, asked many ques-
tions in relation to the expense ac-
count. He thought it might be higher
THAN It should be.
Mr.. Ewart drew attention to the out
side relief account, and remarked that
perhaps the trustees could curtail i'm
that direction.
He said that II was necessary to
ask many questions about the state
ment, as some of the members of the
court were not familiar with the way
the institution Is conducted. Some
years ago Mr.. Willis was a member
of the board and realized the posi-
tion it was now in, and wanted to re-
lieye If possible, but wanted TO do il
intelligently.
DR.. Henry said that in the outside
relief each member has charge of the
poor in his direction, and when a
worthy case Is brought to lhis notice
and a request made for help, ne issues
orders for food to relieve the distress
He found by allowing many OF the poor
to remain outside of the institution
and giving them a little help in the
way of food once in a while, enabled
them to live and prevented them from
becoming a burden on the county. 1T
costs much less" he continued, ito as
sist the poor on the outside than II
does TO support them at the aims
house"
Mr.. Willis said he realized that, but
he knew of cases when he was a mem
Der Of the board where the relief had
been imposed upon and the charity
abused. The doctor replied that he
knew no one who was abusing 1t.
II do not mean to say that there is
any abuse in the present board" said
Mr. Willis but one thing noticeable
is that Wilmington got twice as much
money for relief purposes as all of the
rural districts.
Mr. Fraim, who is the representative
Of the Wilmington district, remarked
that the population of the city war
ranted the increase Since becoming a
member of the board he has issued
several orders for food, but he made
a careful examination of the cases be-
fore doing so.
Several Of the trustees made re-
marks about how careful they were
with The finances set apart for relief
Frank Sterling. OF Brandywine hun
dred, said he had been approached by
politicians, who requested relief foi
political purposes.
He investigated the cases, and find
ing them unworthy, had refused the
request.
Mr.. Ewart said that IL was right and
proper that they should assist the de-
serving poor of the county and he
hoped now that the hoard had become
Republican body, that the members
would give the institution the best
government possible. so that the peo-
pie of New Castle county could point
to it with pride as a model board.
Let your meetings be harmonious
and a credit to the trust placed in
you. Disburse your relief irrespective
of political affiliations, and the coun-
ty which you represent will be the
gamer by il"
The Levy Court will consider the re-
quest for an extra appropriation of $12,-
600 at its meeting on next Tuesday
