When the Japanese protectOrate over
Korea was declared recently many
Koreans grlmbled and some even went
the length of committing suicide in
order to mark their displeasure. Ac-
cording to the Korea Daily News. the
emperor has conferred posthumous
hOnOrS upon several Of these suicides.
One of the misguided men. who poi
soned himself with opium. was minor
official Of the educational department.
but the emperor raised him to the rank
Of vice minister of education. and an
official of that department was dis
patched by the emperor to inscribe the
title upon his coffin. Another man. n
private in the army. who committed
suicide at the same time and for the
same reasons. has also had posthumols
promotion conferred upon him.

: IMPROVING OPPORTUNITIES.

The visit of real medicine-man
is grand time for the natives of the
small villages in the territory near
the Congo Free State in Africa. Not
only do the natives demand medical
aid for themselves. but they are quick
to see that what helps them ought to
help their domestic animals. The au-
thor of ION the Border of pigmy
Land" gives some amusing experiences
with patients:
One day. while dispensing medicine,
an unusual shuilling and pushing
walked round to find out the cause.
and saw a COW being pushed by force
toward me. The herdsman explained
that it was very sick with indigestion.
In order to get quickly rid of this I'M
desirable patient | mixed up some cas-
tor-oil with salt. and ordered it to be
administered in one hours time.

plague of flies that generally appear
in the dry season. The poor creatures

almost lost the power of standing.
After the donkey boy had applied
antiseptic washing and ointment l tried
to fix on bandages, but donkey's legs
were evidently never made the right
shape for that. | could not get the
bandagcs to stick. Mr.. Fisher suggest

SO l set to work on Il pair, and when
the donkey was put into them he looked
most distinguished.
The people gathered round in num-
bers to see it, and exclaimed, what
honor the European gives his animal ="
There were several spectators who were
not clothed so magnificently, and as
was afraid of giving the impression of
eXtravagant waste, explained to them
the necessity of it.
The donkey did not take kindly TO
his first pair of trousers. Perhaps
they did not fit well; at all events, he
kicked them to pieces in two days. A
second pair was made on modified
scale. and whether or not the owner
had cultivated more civilized instincts
it is not easy to affirm, but they re-
manned intact until they were no long
or needed. and the donkey was able to
run about and be up to his usual
pranks again.

REsuLT DOES NoT PLEAsE HIM.

GTUNG by the disappointment OF a Republican
- victory, George B. Hynson, The Commen-
tator' in Every Evening, breaks out again. and
belabors those whom he bames for the cause OF
his chagrin Hynson, it will be remembered, IS
one Of those whose political disappontments turn
ed him against the Republican party. lie ma
ligned it by charging its successes to bribery and
corruption, and he participated in the formation
of the Anti-Brbery League, expecting that or
eanization would defeat the party this year. Had
the Republicans lost at the election the Hynson-
ties would have proclaimed is as the result of the
work Of the Art-Brbery League which prevent
ed the use Of money at the election and that the
defeat OF the Republicans under the circum-
stances proved Hynson's oft-repeated charges
against the party to be true. But alas both his
hopes and plans were shattered There was no
corruption at the election. Even Democratic
leaders and newspapers admit it was the cleanest
and fairest election ever held in Delaware There
were many instances of the Anti-Bribery League
working or being worked in the interests OF the
Democrats Republicans were intimidated by
threats OF arrest without cause and that they
would be challenged at the polls Notwthstand-
ing all this the Republicans won this year their
greatest victory in Delaware, The result gives
the lie to those sanderers Of our little State who
have unblushingy charged that the State is DEM
ocratic, and without the use Of huge corruption
fund the Republicans would have no chance what
ever of carrying Delaware. OF course we may
be inflicted from time to time with outbreaks Of
IIynsons il-temper and disappointment, but we
will at least be spared from his charges that Della
ware is a venal State and that the Republican
party is stepped in corruption.

AN ABSURD STORY.

TN TO-DAY'S Philadelphia, Baltimore am
Kew York papers appeared a story sent out
from this city to the effect that Colonel Henry A.
dupont is to resign his scat in the United States
Senate IN order that General T. Coleman dupont
may have the place 1t is an absolutely absurd
story. Two reasons are assigned in the fake re-
port for the action OF Colonel dupont one, that he
does not care for political activity, and the other
his -hcalth. In his quiet and unassuming way
Colonel DUPONT has always and probably will con-
tinuc TO take a great interest in the politics OF his
State and country. AS to his health, it was never
better and since his return from Europe his
friends see in him that strength, vigor and alert
ness characteristic of his family, even in its men
well beyond middle life. The reasons given for
such resignation therefore have no foundation in
fact and are as false as the story itself There
is nothing more sure than that when Congress
meets next month that Colonel dupont will take
his seat, and Providence willing lle will serve the
full term to which he was elected There is alb
soutely no reason why he should do otherwise.
He was the unanimous choice of the Republican
members Of the Legislature, and the result of the
election last Tuesday was both an endorsement of
his election and an approval OF his leadership of
the party. DhuSl SUCH ShNuhi9t'HNO9 i'i "'iy'"N
to think he would be so unapprecatve as to re-
ject the honor the people have conferred upon
him shows an unacquaintance with Colonel du-
Pont and his sense Of duty and loyalty to friends
1t might also be added that General T. Cole
man dupont, to whose splendid work is largely
due the Republican victory in this State, is not
in any sense candidate for United States SEN
atorship and il one were rendered him now his
business interests are such that he would be
obliged to decline It,
We repeat the story is an absurd one from be-
ginning to end and will not be dignihed even by
denial from Colonel dupont.

ADVANCE IN WAGES.

n 7 is announced that the mononpolistic cor
n poratons such as the railroad companies,
the Standard Oil and other similar concerns are
TO grant am increase in wages. We hope this is
true. The employees are to be congratulated.
The increase of wages, however, will to a large
extent be only apparent
Real wages are represented by the purchasing
power of the dollar What man can get in the
way Of commodities for his day labor represents
his real wages BY what are called the index
figures there has been in receus years great ad-
vance in the price OF commodities, Things cost
more The dollar has been worth less 1t is
doubtful whether the advance in wages that has
been noted during the last few years has equalled
the increased cost of things that you buy The
producers Of commodities and the employers rep
resented chiefly the monopolistic branches, have
reaped the benefits. That is why the huge for
tunes accumulated. The companies that are in
creasing wages realize this fact and are making
up for the increased cost of living. They are
simply restoring wages to the level they had at
tained before the dollar was worth less than il
is to-day The man with fixed income is worth
less than he was ten years ago
