THE Levy Court Of Sussex Coun-
ty, with one or two exceptions, is
surely made up of the narrowest
minded men that could possible be
gathered in the limits of that coun-
ty. Either this surmise is correct,
or they are directed by persons
whose horizon is limited to very
small part of Sussex, and who
imagine that there are no others
than themselves, or the compara-
lively insignificant locality of
Georgetown. At its session last
week the Levy Court passed a
resolution to repay the money col
lected by the Adams Tax Law,and
at the same time specified that the
information should be published in
THREE GEORGETOWN PA
PERS ONLY, thus ignoring the
balance of the county. Not one
person in one hundred receive those
papers in the northern, western and
part of the county, and it is
fair to presume that fully one-half
Of those who are entitled to know
that they can get this money, will
ever see an advertisement of the
fact, published as it has been done
by the Levy Court ofSussex county,
or by their advisors. This is prob
ably a fair sample a their method
Of doing business, and it sadly
needs revising for the benefit of
the public. More common sense
and less advice will be a good thing
for the Levy Court TO have for its
guidance. For the benefit of those
interested we publish the advertise
ment in this paper; and it is not
paid for by the county, either.

WE are living in an age of mar

THE attendance al the National
DemocraticCommittee meeting that
was held last Tuesday in the Shore
ham Hotel in Washington, D. c.,
was fairly well attended. The COM
mittee finally decided on St. Louis,
Mo-, as the place and July 9th as
the date for holding the convention
of that party. This is regarded as
a hard body blow for the aspira-
tions of VIM. R. Hearst, of New
York, who has been shaping politics
through his papers to secure the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent. Senator German was the
prominent figure at the meeting,
and voted the proxy af Richard R.
Kenney, of Delaware, and there
was no enthusiasm to mark the
session.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
FOOD EATEN Is WORTHLESS UNLESS DIGEST
ED-SOME sTOMACHS MUST HAVE HELP

Food taken into the stomach which, from the
nature OF the food or the condition Of the stomach
is not digested, is worse than food at all. This
Is true statement far 1t goes, and a great
many dyspeptics go only this far with their
soning. They argue with themselves that because
their stomachs do not do the " ork given them
they must be given less work; In other words they
must be starved. 1t would be Just sensible for
a business man who Is unable to do all his own
work to cut down his business to his capacity
1t is for a man to starve himself to relieve his
stomach The sensible business man employs he'll
and goes forward with his business. Likewise the
sensible dyspepic Will employ help for his stomach
and give his body proper nourishment.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work
assigned to them They relieve weak and over
burdened stomachs Of a great portion Of digestive
action Their component parts are identical with
those Of the digestive fluids and secretions Of the
stomach. and they simply take up the grind and
carry the work just the same good, strong.
healthy stomach would do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
perfectly natural in their action and effects. They
do not any unnatural violent disturbance
In the stomach bowels. They themselves digest
the food and supply the system with all the nour.
ishment contained in what is eaten and carry out
natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance
Of the body.
How much more sensible IL this method than that
employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs.
BY this the body ard brain get all the good.
nutritious food they need and the man Is properly
nourished and equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not possibly be In
proper working condition by starving himself
employing new tangled, insufficient food, that
does not contain enough nutriment for year-old
baby. A strong man doing strong work must be
properly fed and this applies to the brain well
as the body.

DemCCTaCy's Nemesis.

Republicans can afford TO view
with equanimity the persistence of
David B. Hill in his role of Nemesis,
yet it is a most peculiar role, and
wonder arises that the Democratic
spectators Of the play do not hiss
the bad actor from the stage.
The Nemesic role naturally implies
enmity. Nemesis pursues a foe and
does not strive to ruin friends. Yet
David B. Hill, wearing the labeled
plume of Democracy, works havoc in
the habitat of those of his own faith.
1t is not supposable that Hill is Un-
aware that his advocacy of a cause
is a handicap. It cannot be that he
is possessed Of an egotism SO great as
not to understand that his indOrse-
ment is a deadly weight.
Judge Parker is under the disad-
vantage of being known as Hills
man. He has accepted the counsel OF
this ex-governor and ex-senator, in
whom the Democracy of New York
and the country at large would give
a hearty vote of lack of confidence.
Disliked and distrusted, his declara-
ton of intent to retire from politics
greeted with scoffing, Hill still directs
the forces that would joyously Get rid
of him. Having forced the national
ticket he now expects to brand as his
own the State ticket
However, the affair is none of ours.
1t is viewed simply as a matter of in
terest rather than of concern. The
Democrats of New York are going
forward to q defeat, and perhaps they
want the satisfaction of blaming Hill
for a result they regard as inevitable
There is nothing % indicate that
under the wisest management they
could triumph, but with the Hill ele-
ment eliminated they might have put
up a respectable fight, and during its
progress made the Republicans real
ize the existence of opposition.
Yet there is one danger to the Re-
publicans In the malign activity of
Hill This lies in the circumstance
that they may rely too much upon his
blighting influence to win the battle
for them and thus be lulled to over
confidence
