The state ticket is exceptionally
strong-the county ticket is worthy the
support of every man who believes in
the superiority of Republican ideas and
purposes. May the vote in every town
in Essex county in September, be re-
cord breaker, and may we send to the
House of Representatives men who are
truly known for their ability and honor.
This is the voters solemn duty.

A WORKING POLICY.

"Of all the policies | ever saw policy,
never saw policy policy as policy
policies"
Thus writes an intelligent and enthu
siastic policy-holder who listens to and
tries to understand all the insurance talk
he hears, and when he thinks he has
heard OF some new and good thing, goes
home and reads again his National poll
cy and finds that he has the good thing
and always has had it, and he realizes
that his National policy was not mere
bargain of the day, but was study and
performance an expert and detailed
work; developed demonstration of the
kind of policy he would have had if he
had hired the best help obtainable to get
for him all he would need, or care for,
or ought to have in the way of protec
ton.
So he rejoices in the virtue of his prop
erty and is satisfied, and he is right.
A man should have policy which poll.
cies all the time, night and day, year in
and year out.

Think twice before YOU sell aud go,
II may be long before you find
The cash aud comforts left behind.
Distance enchants the distant view,
Things far away seem always new,
But when the far of hill we climb,
A rough and rugged path We find.
The willow.wisp far OFF is seen
But not the swamps that lie between.
So distant things may look all right
Aud glisten in the MONDAY light.
One better use telescope,
Rather in misty maze to grope,
Aud find out well the outs and ins
Before a journey he begins.
The eastern winters, We are told,
Are much too long aud desperate cold.
The summers too are very short,
And frosts the farmers often thwart,
But if they have big loads to draw
They do not want to see thaw,
And wher they wish to take ride
The best of seighing is their pride,
And when We come to speak OF drought
1t beats the West as well as south,
There seldom is a lack OF rain
To raise good crops and ripen grain,
And as to water, wood and air
You can't find better anywhere,
Society will not improve
The farther west you choose to move.
Some things are better in the West,
For other things the East is best.
Not all the good is in one place
There's something good for every race.
Out in the West there's rain and mud,
The wheels oft sinking to the hub,
Then in your buggy you may sit
Or lift the wheels and show your grit,
And while your horses take rest
To scrape the wheels of mud is best,
You need be here year to know
Which you like best-the mud or snow
| There's streams to cross without q
bridge,
And winding trails lead DER the ridge,
And down the mountains rocky side
If not afraid, why You can ride.
Go it blind,
But if you wish to 60 it blind
Those trifing things you need not mind
Pay all you owe-the printers bill
Leave naught behind but your goo'
will,
Of old Vermont take your last view,
To friends and neighbors bid adieu
Your pleasant homes and cheerful fires
The green graves of your ancient sires.
Now take your children and your wife,
They are the best of human life,
And oft will be the better half
To give you counsel-make you laugh.
A woman's eyes are keen and sharp,
Can see needle in the dark.
Perhaps mansion you may see,
To her it may no mansion be.
If she gets homesick for the East,
Don't swear and make yourself beast
For you, also, are human flesh
And your mistakes may yet confess.
When you have travelled far and wide,
And many things have seen and tried,
And when the last bright dime is spen
You'd wish at heart you had not went
No use to whine for milk that's split
Or like tenderfoot to wilt,
Because you're broke you need not shi
t. But like man take hold and work.
y Experience is dearly bought,
1t But if by itprudence is taught,
IS The lesson that we dearly learn
y May help us to fortune earn.
y We can regain what we have lost,
III Though years of toll it may us cost,
n But this will only make us strong
re To do the right and shun the wrong.

SOME ARCTIC RETREATS
JAMES B. SCOTT WRITES ON THE WORK
OF FRANKLIN, GREELEY AND KANE
NEAR THE NORTH POLE

Of this plan the Proteus was crushed
with tho ice of Smiths Sound and the
party faced second Arctic winter
without news from home. Then in an
evil moment a retreat was decided
upon that for horrible suffering and
death exceeded anything recorded i'm
Arctic travel. The purely military
make-up Of the entire party led them
to believe that they could make their
way through the grinding. crushing.

ter and Wellington Sounds and run
the fearful gauntlet OF the ice-pack OF
Melville Bay. They had four boats
too frail to stand the ice pressure and
too heavy to haul out when it came.
They consumed the entire summer IN
making southing of three degrees
Of latitude and finally made land to
winter upon the desolate. rock-ribbed
spur OF Cape Sabine. Then came to
the party of twenty-five men the LONG
Arctic night with but scanty food, the
region bereft of game, no friendly aid

quimaux. Howling gales of wind

veritable sand blast. through the cracks
and crannies OF the miserable hut they
managed to build. Above them flash
ed the auroras in all their splendor
The cold was piercing 10 the very mar
row of their bones at 60 degrees below
zero. The time was rapidly drawing
near for change that death alone
could bring. Far out on the pitiless
ice the roaring OF the gale mingled
with the sharp kissing sound Of the
crushing ice told them plainly that no
help could possibly come from the
South, whose horizon was beginning to
be crimson with the gold OF the return
ing sun. The first funeral was Ser
geant Cross. The party had barely

der tent partly blown down by the

fell an the responsibility Of this ter
rible experience looked a moment at his
rescuers as they crowded around TO
succor and then fell forward upon his
face, weak and worn.

William Jennings BRYAN has come
home from Europe as he went--a firm
adherentof the Kansas city platform.
It was thought by many that IN his

most highly civilized and prosperous
countries, but he returns with the
ideas with which he started out-the
ideas OF the Kansas City Platform.

POOR FAMILIES
BEING CARED FOR
Police and Associated Chari-
ties Have Eyes Open for
Needy
MOST OF WORK DONE SECRETLY

There is probably no city in the
United States that cares for it's poor
better than Wilmington. No deserving
family in this city need go i'll clad or
hungry The police force is comprised
of big hearted men who report every
case of destitution that comes beneath
their notice and Immediately help is
at hand.
Some poor are victims of circum-
stances and their pride prevents them
from applying to the Associated Chari-
ties for relief and it is for these un-
fortunates that a constant lookout is
kept.
owing TO the large number of heads
Of families out Of work at the present
time, the conditions which prevail are
trihe worse than last year.
Good Deeds Kept Secret.
All the good deeds done by the police
and the Associated Charities never be-
come known TO the general public and
no sweeter charity can be found. 1t is
OF the kind that seeks no notoriety
or reward and every assistance should
be given by those who are well sup
piled with this worlds goods to con-
tribute occasionally for the good of the
needy.
The police still have a fund of about
5000 on hand left over from the Christ
mas treat to the poor children of the
city and it is being put to good use.
Matrons White and Wogan cooperate
with the police in looking after the
poor that come under their notice and
many poor families have been spared
suffering by these estimable women.
Another source of charity which has
been a boon to the poor of the city is
the distribution of coal among the
needy by City Council. Each member
of that body has a certain amount OF
fuel 10 distribute in his ward. This is
one thing in which politics does not in
terfere and any deserving person is
entitled to the fuel and gets It.

ROOSEVELT FOR 1904.

AS the months pass and the time APP
proachcs for the nomination Of candi-
dates for The Presidency It grows plain
er that the Republicans have but one
candidate to Offer That man is Theo-
dore Roosevelt
The only opposition comes from the
friends Of Mr.. Hanna. but It is con-
fined TO few persons who imagine
that some way the interests Of corpor-
nte wealth are to be safeguarded by
the selection OF the Ohio man. But
Mr. Hanna IS not a Presidential pos
shlllty. and Notwithstanding the in
iudicious uttcrances Of his friends. he
is probably aware Of that fact. He
has reached that time OF life when the
uncertainties are too great. and
while his political career has caused
admiration IN certain quarters. yet il
is not such as to Impress the people
with his fitness FOR the great Office Of
President of the United States
Mr.. Roosevelt on the other hand
meets nearly an OF the requirements
Of a Presidential candidate. His in
tcgrlty and ability are unquestioned
and his impulsivc nature has beer
modified by three years of vast respon-
sibuity lie has probably made nis-
takcs-which shows his kinshlp to tn,
rest Of us--but they have been surpris
insly few. and in the main have beer
due TO placing too much confidence il
his professed friends.
He became President as the result o
great tragedy which removed tbs
beloved Mckinley Many then expect
ed revolution. but il came not. His
first uttemnce was to proclaim that
the policies Of his predecessor woulc
be carried out And he scrupulouslS
kept that promise; and we may say
that this IS still the Mckinley Admin
istratlon conducted by Theodore
Roosevelt
Naturally he feels that he should
like TO have another term-his own
and elected to 1t b. the American peo-
pie. He Is entitled TO Il. AT times We
have felt it our province to criticiss
certain acts. particularly those relat-
ing to Delaware; but these are all triv.
ial as compared with the daily enforce
ment Of Republican policies, in ths
face Of applause or Of the most hos
tile criticism.
The chief opposition TO his nomina-
tlon will come from the monied inter
particularly from those who feai
the enforcement Of the laws against ~
legal combinations. But the people
nominated Mckinley. and despite th'
protests OF tho money sharks. they vii
probably nominate Roosevelt. Hi
honesty and straightforwardnoss arr
conceded. and these are elements
which appeal to the masses. Mr.
Roosevelt seems certain OF the nomina
tion. and a nomination means an elec
