coMKoN PRIMARIES ASSURED

The two conference commit
tees representing the Republican
and the Union Republican County
Committees of New Castle Couny
have agreed upon October 4th,
as the date for holding the joint
primary election to choose can
didates for all county, hundred,
legislative and district officers.
It only remains for the two
county committees to endorse
the action Of the subcommittee
and this is assured. While every
member of the conference COM
mittee would have preferred
September 9th as the date, they
were unanimous in fixing on Oc-
tober 4th. The reason for the
change of date was the time re-
quired to get all arrangements
completed. The primary elec-
ton law prescribes certain things
that have to be done before the
primary can be held, and there
was not sufficient time to do all
those things.
The agreement provides for a
Joint Executive Committee to
manage the primary and each
faction to have one Judge of the
election, the inspector to be the
man who was the candidate of
tie parties at the last general
election. All voters Of both fac
tions who are registered to vote

SIZING UP PARTIES

The POpullSt party OF lIlnolS
met in State convention last week
and undertook the role of impair
tial onlooker. AS it is impos-
sible for the Populists to elect
any one this year in that State
and as they will not fuse with the
Democrats and cannot fuse with
the Republicans no better course
Of action was left for them to
pursue.
Judging from the following
plank the task of non partisan
critic is one that the Populistsare
not incapable of performing.
The plank reads thus
We look on the Republican
party with it's gold standard and
its banking policy as our enemy,
with no intention Of concealing
it's purpose. We look on the
Democratic party as a party Of
barter and sale, its principal
object being to get Office, with it's
history Of fusion, broken pro
misses, intrigue and deceit, as
the secret enemy of the Populist
party. While the Republican
party does something and raises
hi, the Democratic party
raises HI and does nothing.
This characterization of the
two parties, it will be admitted,
is not very far from the truth.
The Republican party is a gold
standard party and the open en-
emy Of Populism and all it's
works, while the Democratic
party's chief object is to get Of
flee and it is the secret enemy of
the Poupulist party, using that
organization only when it has
some purpose to gain by it.
And as far as the assertion
that "the Republican party does
something and raises HI, while
the Democratic party raises HI
and does nothing" it will be ad-
mitted that there is some truth
in that also. In the ordering of
human economy it is found i'm
possible to accomplish a large
percentage of good without do
ing a small percentage OF harm.
All human history proves that
this is the inevitable result. And
that is doubtless what the Illinois
Populists mean when they say
that the Republicans accomplish
actual results but do some harm
at the same time.
But there is no excuse in hu-
man economy for a party thatdoes
nearly all harm and little or no
good. And that is about the at
titude the Democratic party oc-
cupies before the country. When
the party was in full possession
of the Government during the
first two years of Cleveland's
second term, and was exhibiting
it's incapacity of a national scale
in Congress, Sam Jones, the
noted Georgia evangelist, con-
dense the situation in few words
by saying: ''The Democratic
party can't pass anything. It
can't even pass a liquor saloon!"
The Populist Characterization
is perhaps even more terse. TAX
ing the history Of parties during
the present generation as a guide
it can be truthfully said that in
all that time the Republican
party has accomplished 95 per
cent. of what has been achieved
and may have done 8 per cent. OF
harm, while the Democratic party
has perhaps done per cent. OF
good and at least 95 per cent. of
harm. That is what the the II.
linois Populists meant last week
when they sized up the parties
in their platform. Philadelphia

A ONE MAN CONVENTION


Convention held in Dover on
Tuesday of this week, was in
seme respects, the most peculiar
gathering ever gotten together
in ethe historic town. The dele
gates went there wanting to do
the right thing but feeling sure
that they would not be permitted
to do so. And the result was as
was feared. Mr.. Addicks was
swayed by his personal feelings
and forced the nomination of
William Michael Byrne for Rep.
rssentative in Congress. down
the throats of the delegates from
New Castle County, and the con-
vention endorsed the action of
the New Castle caucus. The
Sussex delegates had the cour-
age to vote their convictions, and
in the face of bitter opposition
Purnal B. Norman was re-nomi-
mated for Auditor of Accounts
There had never been serious
question as to the denomination
of Martin B. Burris for State
Treasurer.
The convention recognized the
fact that the present officials, all
of whom are Regular Republi-
cans, were entitled to a second
term, and if permitted would
have renominated DR.. L. Fl. Ball
for Congressman. But Mr.. Ad-
dicks was determined to show
his power, and did prove to the
country that the Union Republi-
can party is a one man organi-
zation.
For Mr.. Byrne we have always
had and still continue to have the
highest personal regard, and it
is more in sadness than in anger
that we view his present atti-
tude. In the period of waiting
he will feel as others now feel,
that he has made the mistake OF
his life. Should Mr.. Addicks
insist, as he threatens to do, in
keeping Mr.. Byrne on the ticket,
they will both of them have q
long hard winter in which to re-
gret the condition they have
jointly produced. For both of
them have sense enough to know
that with two Republican candi-
dates the Democrat is sure to be
elected. And as surely as this
happens the Legislature will be
Democratic by a large majority,
and Mr.. Addicks' chances for
getting a seat in the Senate of
the United States will have faded
never to again appear in Della
aware.
It is to be hoped, that after
passion and personal feeling
have had chance to subside
sober sense will be given an op-
portunity to assert itself, and
wiser counsels may prevail, and
that at an early date, the war
ring elements of the party may
unite upon the whole ticket. The
leaders Of both elements of the
party are wise if they recognize
the peril in giving encourage
ment to the common enemy by a
course that will surely discour-
age many loyal Republicans from
qualifying to participate in the
November election: The rank
and file Of the party will surely
hold them to a strict account for
any disaster that may come from
any undue delay in adjusting and
setting differences on the State
ticket.

Crows as Weather Prophets.

The belief that two crows are a hap-
by omen and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient.
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have persisted
in 1147 had it not been for two crows,
one Of which perched on the PROV and
the other on the stern of his ship, so
pointing the Prov Of the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. It is said that when
rocks desert rookery it forebodes the
downfall Of the family on whose prop
erty it is.
They are also credited with being
good weather prognosticators. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home az possible,
but when they foreknow that it will
be set fair they start off in the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, if the
rocks are seen venturing into the
streets of town or village it is sure
sign of an approaching snowstorm ~

ErofessiOnal Envy.


An Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale of de-
grees for the measurement of profess
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measufer is ten:
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only /;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending sea lie he gives US professors
Of science and literature, 4; journal
lists, 5; authors, 8; physicians, 9; &C.
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute in time
of war, Envy makes men of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part in
it's production.

Books and

Glow bookshelves," says furniture
dealer, who is lover of books as we'll,
'''have an origin in a reason besides the
caprice Of fashion. Heat is injurious
to the binding of choice books, drying
out the natural oil of the leather and
making them warp and get out Of
shape. Most rooms are very warm in
the upper parts, and these five and six
foot bookcases are a necessity rather
than a notion. Cold is as hard on
books as overheating, and an atmos-
phere that is too damp or too dry also
Injuries them. The sun pouring in di-
rectly on the shelves fades the bind
