from this the vote at the election will be light
There is one more day for registration purposes

tall hustling to prevent slump in the vote.
This is called an off year in our State politics.
But it should not be off year by any means.
The next General Assembly will have many
important duties to perform and the people
should be intensely interested in seeing that
proper men are elected to the Legislature The
next General Assembly should be business one
and give the State and the city of Wilmington
some legislation that is badly needed. Unless
the voters come to the polls the clique that is
planning to run things to suit its own fancy, will
walk of with the next session. Then after it is
too late ana an over various groups OF citizens

Good Prohibition Policy.
The Evening Journal.

Editor The Evening Journal
From all can learn the Prohibition
party proposes 20 put a separate county
and State ticket in the field this fall.
The reasonsIthey give for this are that
the Democratic and Republican parties
have deceived and hoodwinked them
every time there has been an alliance
between the Prohibitionlsts and either
OF them. My opinion is that the Pro-
hibtion party had better do their re-
form work I'll the ranks or the other
parties and endeavor TO bring about
the reforms needed there.
The struggle now going on in Kent
county Is an illustration OF the working
of that policy. thoroughly disor-
ganized Democracy in Kent is the re-
suit Of the local option contest there.
Why couid not the same thing be in
jected into the politics OF the entire

Defender of Secretary Wilson.

No matter how vigorously or upon what
lines the Secretary of Agriculture may be
attacked he Is certain to find some able
defenders In the House. The Secretary was
accused by Representative Sullivan of Mas
sachusetts of violating the law in relation
to construction of new building for the
Department of Agriculture. and Walter /.
Smith of Iowa defended the Secretary, and
incidentally recalled some history that a
great many people have forgotten. He said:
''Twenty-one years ago last spring U. s.
Grant was writing his memoirs. at time
when his very life was being eaten away;
but he was poor and he was struggling on
in the hope that the product of his literary
labor might support his family when he
playing more of heroism than he ever dis
played upon any battlefield of the civil war;
bill was pending in the Congress of the
United States to put him upon the retired
list of the army. While that bill was pend
ing here for his retirement there was also
sending contest for the purpose of unseat-
ing, as member of this chamber, this same
James Wilson of Iowa. Under the rules
then in force a filibuster was going on to
prevent his being unseated. At least, re-
alzing that If that filibuster was continued
to save him, the bill for the retirement of
u. S Grant could not pass in that Congress,
which was then drawing to a close, James
Wilson stood upon a desk in the rear of
publican brethren to allow him to be sac
rificed and cast out of this House that u S.
Grant might be placed upon the retired list,
and thus hope and joy be carried to the
patient sufferer at Mount Macgregor."

TELLING THE DRUG CLERK.
People Make Him the Repository OF
Their Troubles.

1.-The familiar phrase of slang which in
yttes you to tell your troubles to police
man, and which fits certain conditions OF
our everyday life SO admirably, might well
be paraphrased into Go tell your troubles
to a drug clerk for we certainly get all
that is coming and going" said a clerk In
a northwest drug store to a Star man.
II don't know why 1t is, but the average
man, and the average woman Is not SO
very far behind within certain limits when
it comes to spouting about ones troubles.
when he gets next to drug clerk rings up
a connection of sympathy and shoots 1t Off
into our sar to the limit. II he is a little
under the weather we get 1t In double
doses, and he tells us all about 1t, and
about himself and his family and his neigh
bors and pretty much everything else with
freedom which Is astonishing.
II have always considered this curious
phase of life, and l account for 1t mainly
upon the hypothesis of the inherent desire
for human sympathy which plays such an
important part in our sensibiltties. Men
who would not do more than speak to an
employee in other businesses unburden them
selves to the drug clerk. Perhaps 1t Is be-
cause our politeness and apparent interest
edness Is a part of our business, and per-
haps 1t Is because he is grateful to US be-
cause we are the vehicles that hand him
the possible means to alleviate his physical
aiment and which relieves his mind at the
same time.
r Whatever may be the reason for this
spontaneous confidence on the part of &C
Quaintance and stranger alike, the drug
clerk ranks with the policeman and the
barkeep in listening to the other fellows
woes-sometmes it is their joys, but as a
rule 1t is their woes. - The next time you
are In a drug store make note Of 1t; 1t
will interest you as little study in the

Wall Street.

From the New York Times.
The Wall Street Journal Is troubled In its
mind by what is going on in Wall street.
It admits that 1t does not understand the
security markets course. and wants ia
know whether 1t portends something Sc
rious. and Of which Wall street alone has
advance information. We would like to
know ourselves. but we are not worrying
about the Wall street barometer as much
as we were. being upon the verge OF con-
viction that 1t Is a humbug instrument. A
ENTHUSIASTICALLY barometer belong
ing to another man and under conviction Of
producing instead of foretelling wea Their, is
a dangerous rather than a useful instru-
ment. That Is pretty near the fact re-
garding the Wall street machine.
What. we would like to ask. has Wall
street foreseen prophesied during the
past few years? The weather has been
set fair. judged by every intrinsic indica-
ton. No promise has been equal to ac-
complishment, and no forecast was ever
roster than the present. Yet the Wall street
barometer has not been right as often as
q weathercock nailed fast to one point
of the compass We have had shocks and
surprises against which Wall streets ba-
rometer has not forewarned US. And we
have had every good thing we ought to
want, and yet prices are lower than they
were years ago. The Journal will not dis
pute 1t because the Journal itself has told
credulous world that never once has the
of values. II Wall street is now shrewd
enough to discount adversely, why has 1t
not been shrewd enough to discount the
prosperity we have realized In everything
except Wall streets register?
Has the security market fallen into the
condition of various commodity markets,
which are the playthinss of the giants who
manipulate thenf9 We all know that for
limited periods the price of cotton or wheat
may signify nothing regarding the real
statistical situation In those markets It
would be pity to have that come true
regarding the security market. Prudent
men would lose one of their chief reli-
ances. And yet the fact Is that for sew
eral years the barometer has Indicated what
was set upon 1t rather than the facts of
either the present or the future. A barom-
eter which is either plaything or dead
ly weapon is q nuisance. 1t is years since
we stopped asking What is the matter
with Kansas?" The question which follow
cd has been What is the matter with Wall
street,"

4 Clayton had just been talking about the
quarantine bill which was finally passed but
which was amended by striking out a very
important section. This was done after an
earnest dght by Bartlett on the ground
that 1t was unconstitutional, and by Henry
