wERE WE A pEMocRAT.

we don't know how it feels to be a
Democrat and we don't wish to make
the experiment, but il seems to MS that
we're we Of that persuasion we should
embrace any opportunity that present
ed itself Of pulling the party out Of
the slough Of despond and of placing
Il on a little hrmer ground.
For the Democratic party Of Della
ware IS suffering from a disease which
Is akin TO Addicksitis. It's symptoms
are incompetent leadership, an oer-
mastering desire for personal gain and
disposition TO place the riff-raff on
top. It is wise provision Of nature
which brings the skum to the surface,
but it is dangerous unless Il is re-
moved.
There is an element in the Demo-
cratic party which could hail the Ad-
dicks crowd as brothers II would en-
ploy the same methods had II the
power, and it holds about the same
ideals Like the "yellows" or the "san
Jose scale" il is infectious, and threat
ems to become epidemic.
Were we Of Democratic proclivities,
then-which heaven forefendl-we
should proclaim to the party that the
means and the moment for redemption
is at hand. Il is an opportunity that
comes but once In q generation 1t
would be difficult, nay practically inn
possible to figure out a victory, but the
party could place itself in a position
where il would come nearer 10 being

We want every party to present the

The MILLS oE GOD.

Though the mills Of God grind slow
ly," yet sometimes they grind ont JUS
tice-even in Philadelphia. Yesterday
the court sentenced TO the penitentiary
a woman who had done more 10 de-
bauch the morals OF the city than prob
ably any other person. She had dehed
public sentiment, and laughed at those
who tried 10 break up her business.
Her place Of lnfamy has nourished by
the connivance Of the authorities.
Then she was arrested and held IN
bail She seized hsr opportunity and
fled to st. Louis; but the notorlety she
had attained was such that she was
exiradited. Then began an sorts Of
pressure to obtain her release. Men
prominent IN politics and in business
Went as far as they dared to prevent
her punishment She was defended by
an assistant city solicitor. who repre-
sented her as a philanthropist ana a
public benefactor. But she goes to
prison, for the mills OF God have
ground out another grist.
But the people Of Philadelphia should
not be satisfied tnl they have in Their
hands the resignation Of that assistant
city solicitor. He receives a salary
for looking after the legal interests OF
the city, and he employs his time and
talents ia shielding criminals. Lega
ethics would have TO be stretched tc

GETTING TO MARKET.

The Agricultural Department esti-
mates that It costs the farmers of the
United states nearly $1,000. 100000 am
nhally TO move their crops TO railway
stations and boat landings for ship
ment. No better argument could be
made for good roads. In many Sec
tions to haul a ton Of produce requires
man, a pair of horses and a farm
wagon a half day. while on the best
roads two tons could be carried with
the same cost and time. IL must APP
pear then, that poor roads represent
poor economy and inexcusable waste
But many farmers remote from
transportation add to this waste by
lack Of forethousht IN planning their
crops. II one visits a shipping point
during the summer months he win hnd
an sorts Of conveyances with all sorts
Of loads Of produce. great wagon
load Of berries win come in from a
farm not more than a mile away. while
the man who has had a drive Of seven
miles brings In single crate. that
viii not sell for enough to pay him for
his time.
The farmer who is remote from the
railways cannot afford 10 grow fruits
and trucks save In large quantities.
since TO set small quantities to the
station eats up the profits. Farmers
must take the problem Of local trans-
portation into account IL they are to
succeed. Frequently It costs more to
get a crate Of berries or a basket Of
peaches to the station that the freights

THE PARKER ENIGMA.

II Alton B. Parker shall be made the
standard bearer Of the Democratic
party it will show that il is possible to
take an obscure and unknown man,
and while his sentiments are still "a
matter Of speculation. make him the
candidate OF a great party for the
highest Office in the gift OF the peo-
pie.
A year ago nobody out Of the state
OF New York had ever heard Of Parker,
and during the last twelvemonth he has
made no declaration on any topic Of
national import and has not even
taken any part in the national councils
Of his party.
1t is amusing then, TO read the
clause in the Georgia Democratic plat
form which declares that the Judge is
the choice OF an overwhelming ma
iority.' When did he become that
choice? And what qualities and what
acts made him so acceptable to the
.Georgians? We will wager that one
could go through an average Demo-
cratic gathering in either Georgia or
Delaware and ask for the fun name of
Parker and not get Il, We are just
las positive that not one man in ten
can tell the name Of the court over
which Judge Parker presides, whether
he is married or single, how old he
is or I'm what county he resides. In
short, Wen wager a hat that not one
voter out Of ten can tell anything about
Parker save that somebody has
brought him out for President.
