1t is always advisable to keep cool in
a decent manner, but the practice some
young men Of town have of walking the
streets in a state of semi-nudity, is vul-
gar, to say the least. There are young
men of the town who may be seen on
the streets, not only on week days but
on Sunday, with the upper part of their
bodies clad only in a gauze undershirt
with no sleeves, and the breast but half
protected. Now is this decent? If a
drunken man should be caught on the
street in snch garb running amuck, he
would be arrested, and rightly. What
say Town Cauncil in regard to the sober
men What do the young ladies think
of this mode of dress? 1t is true, they
too go bare-armed and bare. headed, but
there is some excuse for them, as many
ladies think a tanned countenance looks
beautiful, and try to get one for cupid s
sake. However, every one to his own
liking, provided he does not shock the
mOdesty of the general community But
does Town Council think this state of
semi-barbarism right ? if not, it has the
power to legislate for the betterment of
society.

THERE is very big fly in the
political ointment among the" Reg
ular" faction of Republicans, if the
editorial remarks of the Sussex
Republican" are a criterion to
judge by. In the last issue the
editor took occasion to pay his
compliments to the Morning
News" and the Evening Journal"
and the tone indicates that the dove
of peace has flown from that organ

If the Dover 'Tndex" (Demo

If the Dover Index" Demo

the Democratic party towards the
Regulars, then they are between
the devil and the deep sea. Should
they exercise their prerogative
given by the resolution adopted by
their convention to make any
change in the ticket, then the In
dex" serves notice on them that
it will class the entire outfit of the
Regular" faction, as aiders and
supporters of Addicks. Well, it

THE Democrats League, Of vii
mington, has thrown down all at.
tempt to disguise the attitude Of
the Democratic party towards the
negro race in Delaware, by adopt
ing resolutions which pledge their
party to disfranchise the negroes,
and if possible drive them from
the State. After setting forth the
position of the league on this ques-
tion, the resolution as adopted reads
as follows:
NEGRO domination is rapidly as.
Stunning such proportions in this State
that it behoCves the adoption of radi
cal measures to solve the problem.
There is no hope from the Republican
party, and it therefore becomes the
duty Of every Deiawarean who would
protect the honor of his wife and
daughters to unite in electIng the Dem
Ocratic ticket, and like our sister States,
Maryland and Virginia, drive these Ob
nOXious negroes from our doors. There
fore the Democrotic League endorses
the Democratic ticket and pledges its
support as an organization, to its sue
cess"
Negroes of Delaware how do you
fancy this ? Will you deliberately
vote with the party that openly
states that it will take your politi-
cal rights from you? You had
better march in a solid body to the
registration booths and prepare
yourselves to meet the question on
election day in November next.

acre of land in East End that 10 a
twentieth century wonder. The i'm
provements, which are valued st
g., 600, consist of a ten room resi-
dence, q large barn, buggy house

age for horse and a cow. There
are twenty-five chickens which sup
ply the family with sall the eggs that
can be used. The place 10 orna-
mented by twenty-three shade trees
and fifty-seven fruit trees bear more
fruit than Mr.. Griffin's family can

planted to all kinds of vegetables
and this year four crops of English
peas, five crops Of snap beans, two
crops of Irish potatoes, three crops
of beets, and three crops of corn
will be raised and saved, Mustard

Ii 10 the easiest thing in the world
to stop catarrh at its beginning If

disease, chronic or acute, Hyomei
used four or five times day Is all
that is nee ded to soon effect a cure.
In this city and neighboring
towns, there are hundreds who can
testify to the remarkable power Of
Hyomei to cure catarrb. Many of
the staunchest friends of this rem
edy to-day began its use with little
hope that they would be cured, but
as Hood II Martin offered To refund
the money If it did not cure, they de-
cided to try il on that plan, and
were soon restored to health.

"The evils which affiict the BODY

OAWSOR'S THREE BANKS.

Another big bank, this time in
Cleveland, Ohio, has had to close its
doors because of the same old tale.
The cashier embezzled $4,000 in cold
cash of the banks funds, and left the
institution PROSTATE in the mud OF dis
grace. The defaulting official had used
the thousands of dollars of other peo-
Piles money in a desperate effort to qet
rich off of speculation in the wheat
market. The attorney for the bank
states that the defalcation amounts to
more than the paid&n capital and sur
plus combined.
Scarcely a week passes that So me
such piece of news does not carry ais
may to the hearts of bank depositors in
some section of the country. Southwest
Georgia has not been free from such
occurrences, but the people of Dawson
have escaped. Dawson has never had
a bank failure. Today it is blessed
with three of the strongest and most
conservative repositories in the state,
aud the hundreds of depOsitors have
mover had the slightest cause for any
degree OF uneasiness.
