WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Heat Levels Glasses


The heat affects the railroad man,
the financier. or the capitalist, who is
not away on his vacation, in the same
manner that It disturbs the nerves Of
hhcse who work on the street. Said a
broker on Saturday: MY clothes are as
wet ais a street PAYERS" and they
looked the part. But they have their
Icompensatlons.
Said a bank president, when asked
how he stood the heat: Keep out Of
the sun. eat but little and dress cool
~" lie had an electric fan near his
desk assisting him in the effort to be
comfortable. and in that respect most
bank presidents and clerks in up-tO-
date offices are alike. The electric fan
lis omnipresent
There are other compensations. The
broker and banker manages to close
up his business shortly after o'clock
His clerks do not get away that early,
but the head of the institution goes TO
his home, maybe in the city. 1t may
be in the country, where there are few
bricks and paving stone to radiate the
beat. In New York he may take his
steam yacht for his country place on
Che Hudson or Long Island. In Will
,mfngton trolley car or a train serves
the purpose. There he manages to en-
dure the heat as best he may.
Tho railroad man does not fare so
well. His work keeps him at his
desk until nearly o'clock, and per-
spiratiOn exudes from his pores the
same as it does from those OF every
other healthy mortal He, too, goes

to one. as soon as he cleans up his
desk--O perhaps he finds that some
thing demands his attention at the
other end of the line. Then he makes
for the railroad station, and has just
as hot a ride as any other passenger

Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and McKin-
ley and the natural adherence to the
Republican party is beginning to as
sert itself. Republicans are tired Of
this fight which has been made by Ad
dicks. for Addlcks, with Addicks'
money. AS long as they believed 1t
was Tor the benefit of the Republican
party they were for IL, but now when
they know that it is against the best
interest Of the Republican party they
are against It, and being against It
they will assert their power. Mr.. Ad-
dicks may declare that he will not
agree to one ticket; he may swear that
he win not endorse the old ticket
which all voted for two years ago; he
may threaten that he will turn the
whole State over 20 the Democrats, but
we say he will not He dare not. He
cannot this time lead even the Union
Republicans TO commit themselves TO
any such policy. Addicks declared that
he would bury the Republican party
ten thousand fathoms deep, II he could
not be Senator" He has said recently
that this was his last fight; that two
Democrats would be elected to the
Senate and he would retire gracefully
from the contest" But he will not be
allowed to thus retire gracefully. He
may. in his disappointment. try to
wreak vengeance on the Republican
party but he will not succeed even in
this. Republicans even OF the Union
type, will not help him and like his
Bay State Gas Company, his party will
pass into the hands OF q receiver.

why Fire Makes Us nIusb.

When one stands before a hot fire
the race becomes red as we all know.
This result is the effect OF the action
Of radiated heat Oh the nerves con
trolling the small blood vessels of the
skin. These tiny vessels are normally
in state of moderate contraction.
Under exposure TO heat they relax and
become distended with blood. The
same process. under the mysterious
connection Of the vasomotor nerve sys-
tenn with mental impressions. produces
ordinary blusbing. In regard to ex-
posure to direct heat the reddening of
the skin. together with the uncomfort-
ably warm feeling accompanying it,
may be looked upon as one of the use
full little danger signals" with which
we are surrounded.
Persons who from any cause have
lost their susceptibility. as is the case
in some forms OF paralysis, may ex-
pose limb TO heat until serious in
Jury results. The reason that the face
chiefly flushes is that. in the ordinary
position near a fire, it is most directly
exposed to the rays Of heat, while
most of the body is shielded by cloth
Ing; that the nerves of the face are
particularly sensitive I'm this respect
and that the skin there is more abun-
dantly furnished with blood vessels.

sowING DIssENsIoN

AS usual during a campaign year,
the Democrats have discovered signs
of independence among colored voters.
It seems that this independence is to
be asserted in two directions; demand
ing offices and voting the Democratic
ticket. This is a kind OF chan which
should be weighed for what il is worth
by all colored mon. We are willing TO
grant that a larger measure OF inde-
pendence among voters of all classes
and conditions is desirable, and this
includes the eolOred voter; but he will
hardly assert n large measure OF in
by going over to the Demo-
cratic party. II history has shown
any one thing. it is that Delaware
Democracy has always been arrayed
against allowing the colored man to
vote. Democratic administrations have
nullifed the fifteenth amendment TO
the Constitution, and during many
years there were several thousand col
ored voters in the State who found It
impossible TO qualify.
Then before the eyes OF the colored
voter is held out the hope of reward;
we witness the novel spectacle
OF Democratic papers suggesting that
colored men shall demand nominal
tions to office. We rise to ask whether
they would be supported by Demo-
Gratis? Hardly. when the Democratic
party would even deny to the colored
man the ballot OF course everyone
knows this is done to divide Republl-
can voters. But suppose the colored
men should follow the suggestion OF
these friendly Democrats and succeed
in having certain of their race placed
on the ticket as candidates for office,
what would the Democrats do then? ?
Why we should instantly have a re-
vival of the white mans party" cry.
and the public would be warned against
"nigger domination" Levin Irving
Handy would scatter again his mixed
schools" picture, and the Democrats
would have as a point OF attack an is
SUE which they had raised. We need
more independence in voting among
all classes. but It should be based upon
intelligent conclusions, and these can
not be reached without remembering
the Democratic party's attitude to-
wards the negro.

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
A Receivers Hands

From the Sussex Republican.
The Addicksites' souls are full OF
trouble these days. There are wars
and rumors of wars among themselves.
The Bay State Gas Company is in
the hands of a receiver and altogether
things have a very serious look. A
house founded upon sand cannot with
stand the storms which beat upon it.
Neither can this party called Union
Republican, which is founded and sup
ported by the money of an unscrupu-
lous speculator long survive. Il may
do for a season. but the many who have
forgotten the teachings of the found
ers OF the Republican party to follow
uhe fortunes of a political adventurer
will ere long awaken to the great mis-
take they have made and if they are
honest with themselves. will try TO
make amends for the great wrong they
have done the Republican party and
he state OF Delaware. In the years To

members of the Republican party II

NEW DEALS

There is much to indicate that with
many Of our Delaware politicians Of
fice-seeking has become a trade. No
sooner has man landed in an office
than he begins to get together a clique
or following devoted to his intereets.
The object is to carry the ward, district
or county, and the fortunate ones are
to be selected by the organization oe
which this leader is the controlling
head. This is repugnant to the idea Of
free government under which our
servants should be selected for fitness,
and returned to their places as private
citizens when their official terms ex-
pire Il would be dangerous TO recog-
nize the idea Of perpetual~ofhce hold
ing, especially when this is based, not
ON merit. but on the political strength
which men have gotten together on the
basis of "you help me and III help
you"
Washington set the example of re-
fusing office. even the highest his coun
try could bestow. after having served
two terms. It is entirely proper un-
der certain circumstances where the
term of office is brief. to give to a
worthy servant a reelection, but to
honor perpetual candidates Is anothe
question. Office holders fresh from
the PEOPLE, while they may not have
have experience, yet are more respon.
Five to the people. They know theil
wants and are more apt TO hearken L
their demands But there is another
side that must not be overlooked; IL Il
an honorable ambition for any citizeI
70 aspire TO an office, and the desirl
that this creates to win the esteem o
his fellow men, is salutiry. Long agl
VIC decided that we did not propose u
acknowledge the hereditary right O
anyone TO govern, and yet we hav
made concessions to that very idea
numerous instances.
The principle of rotation in otie
is sound in a republic. and no one ca
md serious objection to it. We shoul
scatter the burdens Of official life, an
scatter its honors. We do not hay
perpetual jurors. nor should we haS
perpetual Legislators The time hasn
come when our poverty Of material
so great that in the various distric
suitable men cannot be found. Let I
then follow the principle of rotation

hereditary idea.

JEALOUSY AND PRIDE.
Through One writer's spectacles
These Two Appear as Virtues.

Through One Writer'S SpectacleB
These Two Appear as Virtues.
There is a little jealousy in all per-
sons and especially in all women. 1t
springs from deep love, which always
desires to be first in the affection Of
the one beloved Alover, whether man
or maid, who is not susceptible to occa-
sional twinges of jealousy is not truly
in love.
While jealousy, considered with ref
erence TO its origin, is not an ignoble
emotion, it is frequently absurd in its
outbreaks. A father is sometimes up
set with jealousy because he imagines
that his wife loves the children more
than she loves him. Mothers are fire.
quently jealous of the husbands or
wives Of their daughters or sons. Wives
become jealous of the sisters or moth
ers of their husbands. No one is inn
mune against the little green bacilli OF
jealousy.
Generally the tears or frowns OF
jealousy are swept away with a few
kind words and a caress, but there are
some unhappy persons whose jealousy
is chronic and who make themselves
ridiculous and annoying by their fits
and storms of jealous passion. The
jealousy Of such persons is beyond rea-
son. Indeed, it is n form of dementia
which begets every sort of violence.
Pride is the strongest controller of
jealousy. The theologians reckon pride
among the seven deadly sins, but as a
matter of fact pride is at the bottom Of
much of the virtuous action in the
world. Pride is the root Of most brav-
cry, fortitude, courtesy, magnanimity,
humility and industry. Pride is the es-
sential spirit of thorough breeding and
IN spite Of being enumerated among
the deadly sins pride is not connected
with turpitude.- San Francisco Bulle-
tin.
