In three out Of four of these elections
the Democrats have had a plurality in
Wilmington simply because the Re
pubiiean vote has been divided. The
same result win follow as long as the
cause exists, and the only way to end
such results is TO eliminate the cause
The cause is well known and the cure
should be applied
No man is greater than party and
no mans ambition il more important

publican party is TO continue TO exist In
Delaware It must be brought back to
first principles.
The significance OF the article is in
the last paragraph. The woeful condi-
tion Of Republican politics in Delawar,
is due TO the fact that one man has re-
garced himself as greater than his
party and has thought Of naught bu
his. own selfish interests. The result Is
not only that the party has suffered
but he has failed 10 realize his ambi

ouR ELECTION.

The Philadelphia Press, which is cer-
tainly good Republican authority, has
the following to say about our cleo
ton;
Wilmington, Del, elected a Demo-
cratic mayor and other city officials
and a Democratic majority in its Coun-
ell by a large plurality in the election
OF last Saturday. The result was antici-
pated and caused no surprise, although
nearly two-thirds OF the voters Of VIII
mington are attached to the Republi-
can party.
The cause Of the Democratic victory
was the split in the Republican party
Of Delaware. How this division works
can be seen in the following table of
votes cast in the four latest elections

A nit or THE SOUTH HERE.
Antiques and Other wares at Transplanted
NOmen's Exchange.

Most Of the interesting antiques to be
bought now in the South are offered for
sale at the women's exchanges that flourish
in Southern cities. To these places women
of IMPOVERISHED families send their furni-
ture, their trnkets and other valued pos
sessions that they would hesitate to dis
pose of in any more public way.
There is a certain pathos in visit to one
of these exchanges. One sees on all sides
evidences Of poverty which must press
most painfully. 1t is in conflict with pride,
and one realizes how great must have been
the straits Of the women to make them
consent to part with articles connected so
closely with their lives. Old-fashioned
watches, pins made Of twisted hair, cameo
brooches, Chinese crepe shawls and old
lace are among the objects one sees offered
for sale.
Evidently the Southern exchanges can
not get rid of all these articles offered, for a
New York establishment for the sale or
such things has recently been opened IN
an uptown street. Under the shadow OF a
great hotel is this place Of business, which
exchange transported to New York.
Here are edibles, such as pickles. pre-
serves and csndies. embrnideries, linens,
bandana handkerchiefs made up for various
uses, old furniture, silver and -jewelry.
All OF the Sc articles are brought from the
South.
In the Southern cities the womens eN.
change in always the best restaurant OF
the town, and is almost invariably the place
at which all the business men unable to

nstomed to take their luncheons. This
feature is lacking in the New York estab-
lishment, but in every other way he trans

NEGRO NINSJKElSI BACk.
With Notifications, Though. One Being
That the Minst reis Are Women.

Old-fashioned negro minstrelsy seemed
to have disappeared from the stage beyond
all hope Of resuscitation. Yet it Is just
this form Of amusement that has made the
hit of the present summer season. The
scene Of the hit is roof garden
Seventeen comely young women wearing
long plaid Visitors. silk hats and galdy
neckties enter in line. initiating the so-called
street parade of the old-fashioned min
strels who. dressed in this fashion, used to
to march through tho principal streets of
the towns the morning before the per-
formance
A curtain at the rear Of the stage rises
disclosing seventeen tables supplied with
all the means of turning those young women
from black to white. They march back
take on their long coats and hats and begin
the process of making themselves up as
expeditiously az if they were preparing for
a performance and we're in fear of being
fined
Over their peroxide curls they slip black
woo,Iy wigs and burnt cork soon reduces
their compilations to the proper state of
Nubian blackncss. This Is done in the
presence of the spectators, who see the
mysteries Of the dressing room thus ex-
posed to the view Of the world. As Sir
Henry Irving says that every Illusion lost
is damage to the theatre, what would he
think of this publicity?
After they have blackcned themselves
up and thrown aside their plaid coats. the
girls suddenly turn TO face the audience
and march down to their seats. Once
seated in the chairs that have been spread
out for them. they begin in the familiar
fashion of the old-time end men and inter-
locutor.
A feminine Mr. Bones exchanges jokes
with very womanly tambourinN. Seated
in a semicircl., they 20 through an old
fashioned first part on the regular lines
that used to he thought so side splitting
by our Rrandfathers.
The girls wear caps. tight-ftting uni
forms with broad stripes of white down
the front and white belts. with the exception
of the nterlocutor. who wears loose striped
trousers and a flowing white necktie.
The girls delve back into the p" s. for their
repertoire of songs. They include such
good old-timers at Jingle Bells" Il Put
Ny Money on a Bob-tailed Nag" Sweet
Ham Boni" and "Old Black Joe" And the
crowds that nightly 60 up to the roof to
hear the girls sing and see them dance
seem to shake the foundations Of the build
ing with their roars Of applause
Thus hns negro mnstrelsy. even in this
day of grace. furnished the sensation of the
summer.

RIGHT AND LEFT HASpYpNEss.
Mr.. Lueddeckens has recently published
a brochure on the subject OF right and left
handedness. The explanation for the phcnom-
enon in any person Is traced to the pres
sure of his blood in the two halves OF his
brain. He concludes that for right-handed
subjects there is an excess of pressure In
the left half Of the brain. accompanied by an
excess OF eIotabllty and OF vitality in ali
those parts OF the body dependent on the
left brain. For left-handed people the re-
verse is true. He notes the singular fac,
that. In his experiences. ieft-llanded folk are

like the following; That side Of the brain
with the greater blood pressure will be the
best nourshed and the parts OF the body
dependent upon that side will show greater
size--the ear, the globe OF the eye, &c. the
differences between the weights of the two
halves Of the brain can be- measured after
death; We know the brain centre for languag,
to be localized in the left half, and for right
