The WORLD GROWING BETTER.

THERE have always been votes
4 bought in Delaware, say the po-
litical wiseacres. But an esteemed ac-
quaintance well advanced in years-a
man who has held positions Of trust in
one Of the lower countles-denies Il.
He says that the first he ever heard
of it was in 1856. or about that date.
when merchant of Milford who was
running FOR the Legislature gave a man
a pair of boots to vote for him. This
got out and caused sensation
throughout the two lower counties, and
was condemned by everybody.
This shows how unsophisticated our
fathers and grandfathers were, ana by
comparing it with present-day condi-
tions We may mark our progress. we
hold more liberal views now. Were
that candidate alive today his offer Of a
pair Of boots asa bribe would be
spurned-unless. indeed there was a $50
BIN in the toe Of one Of them.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Seeing Us 40 We Are.

From the Hartford Comm Courant.
Possibly those distinguished noble
men, who, according to the press dis
patches, crossed the ocean with Buff
falo Bill ana are with him now, are
taking for granted all the stirring eX-
perience they have run up against. It
is conceivable that they think they are
right I'm the usual swim of events in
these United States. Going out to hunt
for bears and elk, they have come upon
a bank robbery and are asked to join
In % man hunt, whore the reward is
double for the robbers dead, and as
they start off on this expedition they
encounter the divorce case Of Buffalo
Bill himself, who is brave enough 10
hunt murderers. but begs the court to
relieve him OF matrimOny on the ground
that his wife is. cruel to him and he
cannot bear II. Murderers at large,
hunted by armed sportsmen, and di-
vorce proceedings accompanying the
hunt suggest the spice that enlivens
American life.

The Little Japanese.

ne Llttie 9dPdueSSs
Once I knew a Japanese.
with a little blue chemise.
Socks and sandals and a pretty paper
fan.
Lady foot and dandy hand,
Microscopically planned;
And nc didn't seem at all fighting
man.
He was neat and he was clean,
Most delightful to be seen;
He was spotless; he was spic and he
was span;
He was sugar he was spice:
He was everything that's nice;
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
! He would greet you with a smile
/ Which would carry half a mile.
Sweet as summer and expansive in
its plan:
lie would nod his beaming noll.
Like "a polished little doll;
And he didn't seem at an a fighting
man.
/ Which IS why Ia give a lot
! Could 1 camp upon the spot
Where he's winning bloody laurels
FOR Japan.
Just to watch him wading IN.
With that smile above his chin;
For he didn't seem at all a lighting

while was Tea and Coffee user
about eighteen months ago I happened
TO pick up a piece Of old newspaper and
saw a letter someone had written about
the gain in health by quitting tea and
coffee and using Postum, and as was
suffering with Indigestion and bilious
ness 1 decided perhaps Postum would
at my case, so I had Wife get a package
next day and make some.
"I had been in the habit Of taking
cold lunches with a bottle of cold tea,
but had become so bad could not di-
gest them. in fact felt miserable af-
ter every meal Well, / quit both tea
and coffee and after commencing to
use the Postum I began 10 feel better
az once and have not had a bilious spell
since and no more Indigestion. 1 would
be more than glad to find something
that would make me prosper financially
as that piece of old newspaper did ply
sically.
Il know It was the cold tea that was
causing the trouble and the Postum
cured it,
Il want TO tell you something about
my wife's condition.
'She had been a longtime coffee
I drinker and her feet were swollen so
badly that she could not have a shoe on
one Of her feet at all and sometimes
not either OF them, and suffered terribly
with constipation. She was treated for
kidney trouble but the treatment did
her no good at all and she became per-
fectly discouraged. In short while
after we began TO use Postum and quit
tea and coffee she began TO get better
and now she is as good, healthy and
fine looking wife as you will md, and

to judge for themselves what did it,.

often asked what caused my wife's
health TO improve, and we never fail
TO tell them that it was using Postum
I'm place OF tea and coffee.
I'VE used TO give our boy tea and cof-
fee and he came out with a skin dis
ease until his head was almost a mass
OF scabs We took away both tea and
coffee and gave him what we drank
Postum and shortly the trouble left en-

Mrs. Maybrick was on trial at the
time her mother signed certain papers,
which are claimed to be valid deeds
by Mr.. Armstrong. and which con-
veyed to him certain property when he
was her trustee. The baroness alleges
that she was so Overwrought by her

SLIGHTLY TWISTED.

CERTAIN Of the Democratic papers
- have been all at sea since the
election. without rudder. sail, oar or
compass. For instance this is the sort
Of argument the Every Evening gives
us to show that there Is a sentiment for
tsrif reform. It says that Douglas. OF
Massachusetts, who made an appeal to
voters for reduced tariff rates on GER
tain raw materials. demonstrated by
the vote he received that the idea is
popular.
Nonsensei Nay, idiocyr,. The cleo
tion Of Douglass CON- /affect the
tariff one way or a .1er. while the
election OF a President and Congress-
men could. And the platforms OF the
two national parties presented the real
tariff issue. SO what did the voters Of
Massachusetts, do? They gave Doug
las about $1,000 majority, and saw TO 1t
that Roosevelts majority was over Ss.-
900. That shows their position on the
tariff.

CHARGES BUT NO EVIDENCE.

IF THERE were any real evidence
a leading to the conclusion that the
ballot box Of the Newark district had
been tampered with and that six ball
lots had been marked after they were
voted. we should say that the guilty
preson or persons ought to be sent to
jail
But in the absence Of any such proof
and with ample evidence to show the
practical impossibillty Of such a das-
tardiy act, we think the Every Evening
is making charges for which it should
be called to account. Possibly It may
make a general charge Of tampering
with the ballot box, including a half
dozen men IN the scope Of its Islander,
and escape being called to account; but
we would suggest that its make its
charge specific, bringing it home to an
Individual, and then that individual can
take the proper means to secure re-
dress.
Here are the facts, told again for the
benefit Of all persons who wish TO be
honest in their judgment Of this mat
ter:
That ballot box was sealed under the
eyes Of the election officers, two Of
whom were Democrats. Then the
Democratic inspector became the GUS
todian OF the box. delivering it to the
prothonotary.
When the box came into his custody
70 the time it left his hands for the
court it, together with the other boxes,
it was under the surveillance Of a COM
mittee composed Of both parties. Thus
the only time it was in the charge Of an
individual was when the Democratic
inspecto-. a man Of undoubted probity,
had 1t in his possession.
SO we see that for the Every Evening
to bring its charge Of tampering with
the ballots is TO accuse somebody Of
crime, without a particle OF competent
evidence. We are surprised at our con-
temporary.

PERILs OF LAND AND SEA.
Captain WilIneFs Remarkable Escape
Shows What to do in Time of Trou-
BILE.

For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times of Gloucester. Mass.
was one OF the best known seamen in
the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and
its dangers had no terror for him, but
the catarrhal trouble with which he
suffered for fifteen years made him
dread the nights at sea, for he had 70
walk the cabin floor, being unable TO
lie down and sleep on account of the
constant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two differ
ent hospitals for treatment, but could
get no lasting benefit. He constantly
raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbearable and
nauseating that he was ashamed TO
go out in company. When despairing
Of ever getting relief, his wife pur-
Ichased a Hyomei outfit for him, and
trying it before going to bed, he. en-
joyed the first whole nights sleep for
ten years. Captain Willnef says Il
have used less than two bottles Of
Hyomei and have been cured by the
remedy MY friends ask me what is
responsible for my Improvement, and
1 tell them Hyomei. which has given
me full and complete recovery"
Captain Willners experience shows
our readers what to do In time OF
catarrhal trouble.--use Hyomei. This
remarkable treatment kills the germs
of catarrh and makes lasting and per-
manent cures. u. James Belt sells
Hyomei under his personal guarantee
TO refund the money if it does not give
quick relief.

arc most in accord with his intellectual
and spiritual makeup.
We havo been reading OF a prominent
woman who left the Protestant fold and
went over TO Rome. After founding
several splendid institutions for that
church. she has announced her return
to Professionalism. But we suspect that
her several changes were not due to
unstable views OF theology; we doubt
whether her opinions on that subject
are profound. but we should guess that
she was only seeking a creed the OBJ
servauces Of which for her are COM
Portable and which accord with her dis
position.
But the objection to church unity will
come largely from the clergy. For in
stance Dr. Patton, OF Princeton. thinks
that the liberalizing tendency OF the
day Is like an express train that makes
no stops short Of inndelty. OF course
experience doesn't bear out such a
statement, but it is difficult for the
clergy to disassoclate an the items Of
their peculiar creed with the eterna
plan Of salvation.
SO we are inclined TO think thai
church unity is far I'm the future, but
concord between the different denom-
nations is already here. There is q
better understanding. ana with thai
as basis, all religious persons may
look forward to a wider tolerance and
a truer spirit of fellowship.
