MpRIroRIoUs BILL

The bin providing for a State sani-
tarium for the treatment Of per-
sons afflicted with consump-
ton Is one Of the most important
measures that viii be considered this
session. Il must not be regarded in
the light OF an experiment, since the
cure of tuberculosis under. favorable
conditions is now an established fact.
Mar States and municipalities have
undertaken to relieve humanity from a
part of its great burden OF suffering
and are succeeding. Notice Of these
sanitariums is becoming common
Philadelphia has had sl,OOO,OOO given
by an individual TO carry on the work
and a bill is before the provincial par
lament Of Toronto authorizing munich
palities or combinations Of them to un'
dertake the work OF building and con
ducting these consumptive hospitals.
II must not be thought that the chic
benefit to the public from sucA an in
stitution would be in the cures effected
] OF course this would be important, bu
probably the expenditure for the erec

The Ass.Yrian.

Dedicated to the editor who called
for mob to meet at Dover to prevent
the election of anyone but Addicks.
The Ass-yrian came down
Like wolf on the fold.
And his pockets were
Bullying with silver and gold;
And the length of his ears,
Like the length of his tongue,
Was something immense
In a creature so young.
He opened his mouth
And emitted a bray
SO anxious he was
To be earning his pay;
The Alley was startled
To hear the great din:
The people all said,
He is hungry 'agin.' t
But, see he has holtedl
He runs for tho she'd
A two-legged donkey.
And no ouadrupedl
His shadow he SAW.
And his courage took flight;
His cowardice. sure.
Was a pitiful sight.
And the 'rag-in-the-alley"
Was loud in its wall.
And he sent a long message
BY special 10 Gale;
Then came the reply:
"Now please don't get gay,
Or I'll stop your allowance
OF corn and Of hay"

For Coalition.

From the Delaware Democrat.
When the proposition was made to
the Regulars by them the latter refused
to listen to it. but put off the Democrats
with a request for more time to consid-
e., thus showing they favored the lat
ter rather than the former. The prom
inent men among the Regulars declare
there will be no combination II Ad-
dicks is to be one Of the men elected,
and the Republican press throughout
the nation earnestly advises the accept
ance of the Democratic proposition. 1t
Is also stated, upon what is claimed to
be good authority, that President
Roosevelt favors the plan, and it is diff
hcult to see how the Regulars can help
accepting it when it is approved by al
most the entire party. Consistency
also demands that they should do this.

Tho Alley Mud Singer.


From the Sussex journal.
The chief mud Singer Of the Ad-
ks-rag-in-the-alley advised his read
ers last week TO advance upon Dover in
a mob when the Legislature began to
ballot for senators Tuesday and shoot
in his tracks any Regular Republican
who might vote for a Democrat for
United States senator. It is a poor rule
that won't work both ways. and does
the aforesaid mud-slinger mean, as his
advice would seem to imply, that the
rule should be followed out-for I'm
stance that Farlow King and Clark
should have been shot in their tracks
when they voted for Addicks or that
every Democrat who voted in the last
election for the Addicks nominees for
the Legislature in the various districts
should have been slaughter on the
spot?
Or. that every man who, in the same
election, voted for William Michae
Byrne for Congress. thus electing 4
Democrat, should have been given thu
same treatment? Or does the utter
ance mentioned simply go TO show tha
its author is of about the same calibe
morally as he Is mentally? This nigh

SNAKES. PossUMs AND HONEY


It might appear strange to the aver
age person that so many truly mar
velous events take place I'm or around
Rridgeville. The woods in the vicin-
ity Of That pleasant little town are alive
with wild men. strange animals and
spooks. From time to time we read
these stories and are iRclined TO be
thankful that we live where war
ments" are less common
The latest is from the Sunday Star,
and shows a variation that is pleasant.
It seems that a colored man went out
in seach Of firewood the other day and
finally ne selected a large oak, because
he perceived II would yield a great
many cords of wood. Well in the hol-
low at the base he found a bunch of
eighty-two water snakes. a little
higher up he discovered two opossums
which he captured; and near the TOT
he located swarm of bees that had
been industriously at work for several
years laying up a store of honey in am
ticipation Of his arrival.
Now the first thing that strikes us in
the story is that II comes from Bridge
Vile; the second significant feature is
that the discoverer was a colcred man,
and the third, that his first find was
that Of the snakes. We must not for
get that Sussex makes delectable
liquid from the red-cheeked apples and
peaches that grow there. As the poet
says;
A goodly nectar Sussex brews,
Such as gods might deign to use.
But there is an aftermath, and it con-
sists In "seein things. Ergo the
darkey saw snakes-eighty-t OF
them. We are inclined to think the
Bossums were real, for If a son Of Ham
can't be trusted to know 'possum
when he sees one, who can? Then
comes the story Of the honey, and we
are not so certain. Our feet are on
slippery ground, and the gulf Of doubt
yawns on either side. Perhaps the bliss
at finding the 'possums accounts for the
fancy as TO the honey. But there is one
loose thread in the whole fabric OF this
romance Why did this Ethiopian ses
lect the largest tree for his labors? II
doesn't appear natural Explain that
and al OF our doubts will be resolved.
