NO GROWING COCK THIS.

r VERY EVENING is still dissatisfied with
IL the emblem that heads the Democratic
ticket in Delaware. In fact il regards the plow
as sort Of Jonah and points out that with this
agricultural implement as the sign at the head
of their column the Democrats have won only
one election in the State.
The plow designed 20 ire the farmer vote
but it does not seem to have turned many fur
rows for the Democrats in the political field OF
course our evening neighbor may object to
catering real or pretended to the farmer vote
The farmers in. some parts of the country have
been responsible for the agitation against ,hc
extortions of the railroad companies and the
trusts in general which are so dear to the heart OF
our neighbor.
1t suggests that the growing rooster the old
time emblem again be put at the head OF the
column. But there is little likelihood that the
cock would prove mascot to the party. There
may be few roosters in the party but not enough
to win victory. On the whole we think it
rather wise that the rooster has not been the de-
vice of the Democrats during their years of de-
feat The rooster that does not have a chance
to crow is of little account He will not triumph
And our neighbor should remember that when
the Democrats in years gone by won with the
rooster as their emblem they did so by foul tao
tics.

NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.

r VERY EVENING is now actively engaged
- in strained effort to make it appear that
a fierce fight is being waged in the Republican
harmony camp. That is way it has adopted to
counteract the apathy and discord among the
Democrats. In a truthess news article yesterday
it stated that the duPonts are taking hand in
the Kent and Sussex primary contests, and that
they are determined to elect certain delegates to
the State Convention and defeat others. Not
only is the statement false, but it would be an act
OF absurdty for Mr. DUPONT or his friends in this
county, who favor party harmony TO deliberately
stick their in an outside district and thereby
probably cause the defeat Of the party in Novem-
Der
Our advice is, that if any fruit is desired from
the harmony movement and success at the cleo
ton expected party leaders must be consderate
Of the rights of each other. This is no time TO
start up another fight in the party and he who
attempts it should in some way be severely re-
buked and punished, II we are on a harmony
basis, then let it be SUCH Let every county and
district attend to its own affairs without any out
side interference and let every man in the party
have a fair and square chance in proper con-
test he enters. For Kent or Sussex to undertake
to mix up in the affairs of this county should be,
as it has heretofore been, sharply resented, and
SO should be any attempt of New Castle to con-
troll the affairs of the lower counties Let us let
each other alone, for only in that way can we
expect to have party harmony and success.

GRANGERs' FAIR.

MH UGH interest attaches TO the coming iair
III OF the Grapgers, which this year. viii
be held in the Horse Show Park. The fair made
a modest beginning several years ago with
small exhibition at Brandywine Springs, and a.
reunion of the farmers and their wives from the
surrounding country The gatherings on these
occasions have been very large, and great inter
est has been manifested in the annual affairs held
at the Springs The apparent desire for fair and
a reunion of the farmers and those interested in
agricultural pursuits led to the agitation OF
something on a larger scale So the exposition
for the Horse Show Park was arranged. Should
the coming affair prove success undoubtedly an
effort will be made TO have a regular county fair
to rival those held in other coumonwealths.
Much therefore depends upon the success OF the
coming exhibition Behind it are men deeply
concerned in granger movements. Some OF those
who made such success of the poultry and pet
stock exhibit in this city are interested in the
exposition, and that augurs well for its success
The Grangers are stronger and more influen-
tial than ever. They have put their shoulders to
the wheel and there is no reason why the affair
at the Horse Show Park should not be the fore
runner of a regular exposition And, indeed,
Delaware should have one. The awarding OF
prizes for exhibits is a stimulus for each man. en-
gagged in agriculture to do his best The compe-
ttion in the raising Of products should be keen
and the fair should stimulate agriculture in the
State
One Of the features will be the amateur races.
Prominent horsemen and speedy trotters and
PAGERS will be on the trac', from Wilmington,
Philadelphia and other cities. Our own horse
men will make every endeavor to hold their own.
The matinee races that have been held for some
seasons past have aroused much interest in legit-
mate amateur sport the track. Our local
horsemen have asserted that our trotters could
hold their own with those of other and even
larger cities and they will have an opportunity at
the coming exhibition to show what they can do.
Merchants should take interest in the exhi-
biton because revival of a state county fair
would benefit them probably more than any
other class of citizens. Let every one turn in
with helping hand and assist to make the fair
come up TO the sanguine expectations of those
who have given SO much Of their time and energy
to make the thing 60.

CAMPAIGN wARMINa up.

HE political campaign in New Jersey is be-
coming warm. The Cobyites, or Inde-
pendent Republicans. are making determined
effort TO select legislature that will refuse to
return Senator Dryden to the upper house Of
Congress. Like his colleague, Senator Kean
Mr.. Dryden has not made a record for particular
efficiency as a senator He is very rich man,
and was chosen senator principally because of his
unbounded wealth. He is a typical example of
the commercialist in political life and the revolt
against men of his stamp has extended TO New
Jersey as well as elsewhere.
George L. Record who is an aspirant for Dry
den's seat, is making himself heard on the stump,
and the people, by the thousands, are focking to
hear him
The burden of Mr. Records addresses is the
equitable division of wealth which he considers
the most important question that has arisen in
this country since the settlement of the slavery
issue. Too many persons are accustomed to
shout that prosperity depends merely upon the
production of wealth and they overlook the
equally important phase, its distribution. We
can in this great country Of ours produce wealth
--of course we can. But how shall it be distrib-
utedS Any discomfort that arises during times
OF great industrial production centers around the
distribution
Mr. Record makes the sweeping assertions that
the great fortunes of our muti-millionares have
been amassed through a system Of railroad Ia
vortism and secret rebates. Such favoritism en-
hbles, as he contends, some captains Of industry
to leave IN the rear their competitors and iavort

DID HERRERA GET
DOUBLE CROSS
Mexican Claims tie Had Only
Two Days to Make
Weight

The scandal anent the defeat Of Aure-
lio Herrera by Charley Neary shows no
sign OF downing When the boys met at
Milwaukee last week and Herrera was
SO badly beaten up that his Seconds threw
up the sponge in the seventh round pugil-
ism received one of the biggest surprises
Of years. But Neary was not permitted
10 enjoy the credit Of Victory without pro-
test. Herrera set up a howl that he mad
been iobbed into making weight too hur-
riedly and had entered the ring in a
weakened condition. He claims that he
signed the articles OF agreement calling
for 1873 pounds ringside. with the distinct
understanding that he was not to be
forced to live up to them: in short. that
the articles were signed ITO make the
thing look all right 10 the public" but
that, as far as tho fighters went. they
we're not to be binding and the fight in
reality was to he at catchwelghts
Not until two days before the fray,
Herrera says. was he notified that the
club expected him to make the weight
and that Neary refused to enter the ring
unless the Mexican was down 10 133. Her
ed out to him that in view OF the fiasco
at Los Angeles, IN which The Mexican
got all the blame for the match with
Nelson falling through, he was not in a
position again to d'sappoint the publ C
and get away with It.
In two days Aurelio AYERS. he took
on seven pounds. weighed in at the
specified weight but was too weak to
fight and was whipped He charges the
Neary people with a deliberate plot 20
beat him by unfair means. This. OF
course. the friends OF the Milwaukee
fighter deny. as do they also a report
that Herrera had been drinking heavily
the day Of the scrap and was drunk
when he entered the ring. Some who
were at the ringside lean to the belief
that the Mexican was inebriated. Thy
point out that the Bakerfield boy seemed
hardly TO know how TO hold up his hands,
that he ran around the ring in an aimless
manner and between rounds invariably
trotted TO the wrong corner and once sat
down on Ncary's lap and tried to kiss
/ him.

Took Poison

A farmer by the name of Gott-
fried Keller, living near Sher-
wood, mistook a bottle of for
maldehyde for root beer Friday
and took a drink Of the deadly
poison. He was taken to Sher-
wood but the doctors were un-
able to do anything for him and
he died inside OF a couple of
hours. The root beer and the
formaldehyde were kept in the
granary and were in similar bot
ties. Keller went out to do some
work and, becoming thirsty,
opened one Of the bottles, think
ing it was the root beer. He
drank about a pint before he dis
covered his mistake. He was
taken to town but medical as
sistance came to late. He was
a man about IS years of age.
He is survived by a son and a
daughter.

it inexpedient to plant alone as

Russian golden willow will make
a very rapid growth. 1t is ad-
visable to leave an open space
Of four to six rods on the north

can be put into garden crops
during the summer. On the
north and west side of this snow
break set two rows Of some
dwarf dense growing hedge. For
this purpose willow may be used,
Russian olive, Siberian pea tree,
buckthorn, or anything that can
be kept low and dense from the
