the habit of getting cold feet if the

town. The "old man on the hide
pendent ought by this time to have dis
covered himself TO be located in a town
of wcltcrwejght sport; and with the
opening up OF the new church there this
week it is evident the people of the
Brook intend to devote some of their
time as we'll as cash to the more serious
things of life.

Will. the people of Cavalier county
never wake up and assert their demand
for the holding of a county fair for the
exhibition OF horses stock and farm pro-
duce Of all kinds. Both Pembina and
Walsh counties have already gotten out
advertising matter announcing their
annual fairs, which take place during
July. There is not county in the whole
state that is making faster progress
along the line of diversified farming than
Cavalier. The only trouble is that owing
to there being no opportunity for the
farmers OF one part of the county to
know what his Eeighbors over in the
ct:.eT corner are doing there is not the
feeling of wide spread encouragement
W i.h il, SO much needed to help along
the good work. The columns of the
DEMOCRAT are open for a full discussion
of this subject by those who are most
deeply interested. Farmers talk the
matter over among yourselves through
the columns of this paper.

The WHEAT MARKET.

Prospects for the wheat grower seem
exceptionally bright. 1t will be an
enormous crop, largely in excess of any
former year and probably totaling 500
100000 bushels. This should not how
ever, have any depressing effect upon
the market at the present time,
with the constant demands the foreign
markets are making upon our stock
and visible supply OF less than
3O,0D.oOO bushels, the domestic needs
much larger and the quantity of wheat
available apparently much smaller. by
least 3,0OG,0O bushels, than last year.
July delivery has advanced i'll price a

LAST week the town of Park River
went on record timing travelling man
for exhibiting his samples on Sunday.
1t is noted that the business men of the
town who had their stores open at the
same time didn't get a dose of the same
medicine. Wouldn't it be a good idea
to teach the residents how to behave be-
fore they attempt to punish an outsider
for something which is tolerated by the
community. as long as the offender lives
in the town. The affair is, likely to at
tract considerable attention among the
travelling fraternity all over the state.

THE lack Of harmony in the democra-
tic party has been kept alive and con-
stantly before the people for so long by
the republican press for the simple pur
pote of filling space. When the proper
time comes. gentlemen. the party will
be united and their candidate lead to
victory. Better turn your attention to
the republican ranks and harmonic
the factions in Ohio led by Hanna and
Foraker. Your dead space can be filled
from that source and you stand a
chance of deriving some benefit.

BY insurlng his crop with u local agent
the farmer who meets with loss by hail
is assured that he is having his policy
written 10y some reputable company that
stands able to pay the loss. The fake
hail insurance companies who have in

given the farmers good grounds to kick.

PREACHER AGAINST THE GASMAN
Stirring Sermon Delivered in the
Methodist Episcopal Church on
Addicks corruption-Union Republi-
cans Present Left the Church -

seaford. Feb. 24.-The Rev. w. l..
White, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, took for his theme last
evening: "The sin of covetousness." ."
His text was Kings, 8: 20. It being
the anniversary of the birth of George
Washington, he naturally referred to
him as a model for all Americans. In
the course of his remarks he said:
How much money could George
Washington have received if he had
been moved by the unholy spirit of
greed and been willing to sell out TO
and run after some one and take some
thing from him.
"Under the malignant influence OF
this spirit of greed, this love and
money, Delawareans have been so de-
bauched politically that they are Will
ing to sell themselves to the highest
bidder.
According to George Kennan's ac-
count, as given i'm "The Outlook" the
price of votes in Sussex county ranged
from five TO twenty dollars. but the
popular price was fifteen dollars. Al
lowing 15O pounds to the man, they
were DouBnl at ten AtlAn a. loullAis 4 At
price of pork In Seaford now is twelve
land a-half cents per pound. Think o
a condition in this once honored State
which makes it possible nDr an un
scrupulous schemer to buy a majorit!
of the voters in many of our votinl
districts more cheaply than swine.
on election day in this town I stoo'
beside one of our prominent citizen
and looked upon a score or more o
men who were assembled in front OF
certain building. In answer to m
Z question, is that a voting place. h
t replied, oh. no, that is where they g
B to get fixed"
"On asking for an explanation,
was given to understand that ther
they received their cash for voting.
4, During the course OF the minister
/ remarks, a prominent Union Republ
! can, who was a few years ago the
, candidate for State senator. grew vei
restless and finally got up and left II
, church.
Bishop Coleman in a sermon preacl
ed here yesterday in st. Luke's Churc
! also strongly condemned corruption. +
also referred to Washington as beir

was very much affected that the publ
men of today would not compare wi
- the high standard set by Washingt,

PUPILS FAILING IN
THEIR EXAMINATIONS
Daniel Ross Offered Resolu-
ton That the Average
Be Lowered

A statement made by Daniel Ross in
the Board of Education last night to
the effect that many Of the pupils in
the High School were failing to pass
their examinations, caused a commo-
ton. He said he found the scholars
attentive and studious, and the teach
ers capable. His only fault with Su-
perintendent Twitmyer he said, was
that he led and tried to keep them up
with him.
Mr.. Ross quoted figures to show that
of the 2S4 pupils in the fifth grammar
grade 1873 were promoted and 1O1 fail
ed. Out of 1sS pupils in the sixth
grammar grade. 7S were promoted and
65 failed. In the junior A class of the
Girls High School 33 pupils were pro-
NOTED and "a failed. In the girls mid
die b class Is pupils were promoted
and 22 failed. In the Girls High School
there is a total of 2S4 pupils of whom
1S2 were promoted and 1O2 failed. In
the junior c class of the boys depart
ment, 81 were promoted and SO fail
ed. In the junior A class of the same
department, is were promoted and 20
failed. In the middle A class were
promoted and is failed. OF the total
of 1S6 boys. 80 were promoted and SO
failed. Mr. Ross called attention to
the fact that SO scholars were gradu-
ated last year, while this year the
number would not be greater than 50
The speaker said that in the Chester
and Norristown schools the average
for promotion was rs, while in this city
il has been raised to So. He thought
the average should be lowered. to tn,
old standard of as, and Latin SHOULD
be made elective. He thought it woul,
be better for the schools to lower th'
grade. He offered an amendment L
the bylaws.
The matter was laid over for tw'
weeks.

ding for Supplies

The time for opening bids to supply
the street and Sewer Department with
cement. sewer pipe and bricks was ex-
tended at this mornings meeting OF the
hoard for one week and all bids sub
mitted we're ordered returned to the re-
spective bidders. The postponement
was made so that a contractor may sub
nit bids for any brand of cement put
if successful the material must standthe
test of the engineer in charge OF sewers.
Applications for plumbers and drain
LAYERS licenses were made by Frank o.
Noseiy at No. 707 Shipley street and
the Manufacturers Contracting Com
pany at No. 1905 Market street The
former was granted but the latter ap-
plication caused considerable discus
sion. because the firm proposes to erect
houses complete. The question arose
as to whether it would be legal to grant
plumbers license to concern en-
gagged in some other business and the
matter was deferred for one week.
| Charles NJ. Curtis appeared before the
board and requested it to sanction SEN
ate bills 60 and 61, which if passed
will give the department power to
change any street on the city plans
whenever il finds that the interests OF
1.-THE public demand it. The object Of the
bills is to give the board power to
change streets without having to go tc
the Legislature as was the case with the
Wilmington Malleable Iron Company
which concern will erect a large plant
in South Wilmington. The board will
consider the matter at its next meet
ing.
A representative Of the P. B. & w
i Railroad Company appeared before th'
board to make inquiry as to what wal
to be done with its application in refer
enos to moving the tracks of Brandy
wine branch of the road. He was in
formed that the members would go owe
the ground on Thursday afternoon.
A petition was presented from a mum
Der of property owners in Eighth ave
