IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our

physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh of the head. catarrh of
the throat, catarrh of the lungs. catarrh of
the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh
of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by
hundreds of thousands. Grip is epidemic
catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic ca
tarrh within the system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers are
able to make complete recovery until they
have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has a
remedy received such unqualified and I'M

be hasty regarding these matters.

Governor Stops Mob.

The duty of any official is al
ways prescribed by law, and in the
case of mob rule the law is very
plain in all States. 1t must be re-
membered, also, that the law is be
hind the act of any executive when
he enforces it properly. As has
been seen in the recent trouble III
Indiana, when the city of Evans
Vile was in the hands of a wild and
infuriated mob; Governor Durbin
quickly recognized his duty, and
though it necessitated the killing
of many of the mob, he at once
proceeded to deal out the law, and
called the troops out to stop the
intended procedure of lynching a
negro murderer. It was not long
before the mob saw that the Gov
ernor meant business and the
planned lynching was abandoned.
We heartily commend and approve
the act of Gov. Durbin, and think
that he is worthy Of the praise of
every true American whether he
be Democrat or Republican.

The editor of the Wilmington
'Jeffersonian," in a recent article,
says that the political freedom has
been a detriment to the colored
race. That it has not had any
effect upon raising the negro in the
scale of civilization, but has made
him insolent and impudent, and
instead of raising his standard.has
pushed it further toward savagery.
Such a statement to come from an
editor of the goth century is only
an exhibition of ignorance or a
man blinded by race predjudice, as
statistic prove the contrary. As
to the statement made in the same
editorial chat Addicks whites by
the use of money have iustilled
into the negroes of Delaware a
spirit that is eliminating i'll fire.
quent rapes" is an unreasonable
statement, and was made for the
purpose of gaining votes for the
Democratic party, as is made clear
by the concluding paragraph which
reads as follows:
The situation invites all decent
white men to get together i'll one
party-the Democratic-and to
leave Addicks' booG,ers ana blacks
to herd by themselves, In this
there would be no harm for really
the white people are good enough
to govern Delaware.
Therefore, we have no fear of
any i'll effect resulting from such a
presentation, which is not tinged
with anything but party advance
ment by means of misrepresenta-
ton.

Alas! Poor Bryan.

Friends of Mr.. William j. Bryan
should look after the editor of Lin
coin. He is really assuming the
condition of man with a mania,
and he ought to be guarded by
those who are close to him. Per
haps his contemplated visit to
Europe in the autumn may do him
good and relieve his mind from the
strain of trying to dominate the
Democratic party.
1t was bad enough, i'll all reason,
for the Brooklyn Eagle to spring
the Cleveland boom upon Bryan,
but when the Iowa Democrats side
tracked the Chicago Kansas City
platform at their recent convention,
the blow was too much for Bryan.
Audsother Democratic State con-
ventions are expected to do the
same thing. But Mr.. Bryan can
not become recOnCiled to anything,
add even his two defeats, the re-
pudiation ofall his theories respect
ing wheat and silver, and the pros
perity of the country in spite of
his predictions of financial con
fusion through the defeat Of the
Popuiist candidate for President,
do not appear to have opened his
eyes to the fact that he was wrong
and is yet wrong.
On Monday Mr.. Bryan was in
Milwaukee, and when asked what
he thought of Mr.. Cleveland as the
Democratic candidate for President
next year he said: 1T is a comedy
as it now stands, but a tragedy if
/ it should succeed. " Bryau's own
candidacy on two occasions was a
farce. Then Mr.. Bryan went
further and said that all he wanted
was a candidate who would stand
by the Democratic principles, adj
ding BY Democratic l mean the
/ principles enunciated at the Kansas
City convention of the Democratic
/ party, the last opportunity the
Democratic party has to declare
the principle on which it stands"
just so. The National Demo
cratic party has no other platform
/ save the one adopted at Kansas
City in 1900, When it reaffirmed
the Chicago platform of 1866
/ Nevertheless conditions have SC
changed that the Democratic party
is very shy of its only platform
and it is not disposed to stand by
a declaration that has become OBJ
solete and which is to be cast aside
altogether when the next oppor-
tunity is offered for the adoption ol
a new set of principles.
Mr. Bry an need not imagine that
the Democratic party is to tieitselt
up again with the Kansas City
absurdity, and the state conveu
tions held by Democrats are show.
ing a decided inclination to forget
Milford chronicle., 1903-07-17

THE "Seaford News" in its last
weeks issue expressed much con-
Germ over the recent announcement
of U. S. Senator J. Frank Alice,
Gov. John HUM, Secretary Of State
Layton and John Edward Addicks
leaving Delaware for a Western
trip, and said
That if several of the other
heavy weights could have been in
duced to have anchored on the
breakwater about the same time the
above delegation stepped off the
upper part of the State, there would
have been less danger of the State
tilting."
In reply to such logic, we wish
to say that the equilibrium of the
State is better maintained by their
presence than by their absence, and
that is accounted for by the fact,
that the State is the most tipsy
where it is over-crowded by such
insignificant feather-weights as the
editor of the 'Seaford News.
