the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening

logically follows that our purchasing
poweris correspondingly greater: Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing
startling about our low prices,any dealer
(even the smallest) can meet them.

GIRL PREVENTS WRECK

An attempt was made by four Trainer
boys to wreck a trolley car on the Ches-
ter Traction Company's Marcus Hook
line last evening. The boys placed stones
in the apertures of the nanged tracks at
the Trainer curve Miss johnson, who
saw the lads committing the act, chased
the depredatOrs away and removed the
stones. A few moments later a trolley
car came along. Had it not been fol
Miss JOhnson's prompt service the results
would probably have been serious.

Bryan may delude himself that he has
a chance Of again being the nominee, or
at least that he will be able TO name the
man and dictate the platform, but it is
safe to say that nobody else who has the
slightest knowledge of the trend of af-
fairs, shares the demsion. He is politi-
cally dead, and his only chance is TO head
ticket Of the Populistic end Of the
party. Il is inconceivable that Hill can
be selected His record is against him,
and certainly he can inspire no enthusi-
asm among those who followed Bryan
and his vagaries. There has been talk Of
Judge Parker, and probably it has been
thought that his comparative obscmity
is a most desirable element in his favor
But the public asked, and at ony men
ton Of his name they still ask, "Nyho is
Judge Parker, anyways"
Judge Gray by his record, his cmikent
qualities and his conceded ability stands
almost without peer among the Demo
Gratis of the country. He would be a
guarantee that the Kansas City plat
form would find no place in the cam
paign. lie would probably lose a certain
proportion of the Populistic vote, but
doubtless he would attract a certain ele-
ment which would offset any losses from
that quarter. Should he be nominated
under conditions as they exist at present,
he would almost certainly be defeated,
for nobody doubts that with the present
temper, his opponent would be Theodore
Roosevelt. The latter has given us an
administration which is popular, and I'M
der which the country has been prosper
Gus. If these conditions hold, his nomin-
alton and election are practically as
sured.
But it would be interesting and graft
flying, for Delaware TO furnish a Presi-
Dental candidate for either of the great
parties. IL would give zest TO the cam
paign, and it would be an honor not TO
be lightly esteemed, even though he
should not be elected. He could not
carry his own State, il is probably true
but he would have the good will and es-
teen of even those who voted against
him. Delaware came very close TO fur.

didate number of years ago; she may

Russia's Answer Set at Rest Menace
TO American Trade.
Washington. April 2S-Considerable
Interest was shown here in the des-
patch from St Petersburg giving
categorical answer from the Russian
foreign Office to inquiries regarding
the eight demands which are said to
have been made on China in connec-
ton with Manchuria. II was regarded
as of great importance and If borne
cut by subsequent information
through diplomatic channels, will give
general satisfaction and meet in a
large degree the desires of our gov
eyhment.
It was in relation to the FIRST two
demands that the United States was
interested principally. and it was these
demands which prompted It TO ad-
dress notes of inquiry and protest to
St. Petersburg and Pelxin. They in
volved severe restrictions 10 Ameri
can trade. and the United States
therefore. was prompt to protest. The
assurance OF the Russian foreign Of
fee would seem to set at rest an,
serious menace in that respect. Th'
replies of the Russians regarding The
other demands also caused a feelinl
of relief here and the hope OF th'
1 officials is that Russia's position 4
fully and correctly set forth.
