Il was sound Democratic doctrine that
was oxpounded by Hon. John Sharp VIII
Hams Of Mississippi, Democratic leader
in the House OF Representatives, in his
address at the twenty-fifth anniversary
celebration Of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of this city. Saturday night
1t was just the kind of doctrine that Demo
Gratis need in these times of wavering
towards Populism. Capitalization, colo
niaiism and various other strange politi-
cal gods.
The issues Of the campaign, as defined
by this leader Of the Democratic minority
in the popular branch OF Congress, should
be official graft, the Trusts and the tariff.
Nothing could be more thoroughly Demo
cratic than determined opposition to
these three evils, and Mr. Williams would
have the Democratic party make its cam
paign along these lines Could any Others
offer greater encouragement
Mr. Williams exposition Of the working
Of our Tariff law was delightfully."- illumin-
ating and straight to the point He dealt
with the tariff for what II is, and ever will
be-a discriminating, unjust and burden
some taxa tax from which the few
profit and the many suffer
II is significant that Mr. Williams, in
the course of his admirable address
wasted no time in exploiting the gloriei
of government control or operation o
railroads and other utilities He also
referred pertinently to the Philippine.
problem, and advanced the sound advic,
that VIC should cut loose from our sub
jugating control Of these islands, as "lron
a hot brick regardless of who might fee
inclined to pick it up.
The Democrats of Delaware may fine
valuable pointers for their coming cam
paign in Mr. Williams splendid Demo
cratic address.

In the discussions relative to the move
ment to have the next big battleship for
our navy named Delaware a leading
argument has been the promptitude Of
this State, one of the Original Thirteen
Colonies, parties to the compact out Of
which grew our Federal Union, in giving
approval to the Constitution Of the United
States. In some of these arguments Il is
said that Delaware was the first TO "signp
the Constitution. In Others it is asserted
that Delaware was the first to "adopt" it.
Now, The signing of the Constitution,
as well as It's adoption was the work
of the delegates from the Colonies who
framed it. The signatures of the dele
gates from Delaware were duly appended
to the document, and when final action
was taken their votes were cast in favor
of its adoption
The next step was It's ratification by
conventions called in the respective States
for the purpose. Says Article VII Of the
Constitution. "The ratification OF the
conventions Of nine States shall be sufh-
cient for the establishment of this Con
stitution between the States so ratifyinl
the same" Delaware was the first Stat,
to take action, and she formally ratified
not signed, or adopted-the Constitution
of the United States on December 9TH
1857, within three months after its adop
tion

A Square Deal.

In granting an injunction. restraining
the striking printers of Washington from
interfering with the non-union printers
who are willing to work, Justice Stafford
Of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia said: "There is something
more important than fair wages, and
that is the right TO work for amy wages
the workman is willing to accept There
is something more important than an
eight-hour day. and that is free day.
Any enhancement OF wages, any lessening
Of the hours OF labor, any improvement
in the conditions Of employment, would
be dearly bought by the surrender of the
smallest fraction Of individual liberty"
Herein is the essence of the Square
deal" Of which we hear occasionally from
the President Of the United States. The
right Of man to work involves the
squarest kind of deal, regardless of the
matter of wages. For, while the man
may work for what he chooses to accept,
it is not always the question of wages that
forms the issue, as frequently those who
work receive even higher wages than arc
demanded by those who strike. Tho
right TO work when willing to work and
when work may be had is where the
"squaro deal" comes in.
President Roosevelt can well afford
to stand up for the Square deal' as de.

origin of the Barber's Pole.
Phnadelphla INQUIRER.

Philadelphia Inquirer
AS in the case of many other simple
things, the origin of the BARRIERS pole has
been attributed 20 the most outlandish
and lar-fetched sources, among Others the
association with the word poll (hcad),
with which the barber has chiefly to do.
As IA simple matter OF history. however,
and not SO long ago either, the barber had
business with other parts of the body, and
performed certain operations which arc
now restricted 10 the medical practitioner.
the chief of which was bleeding, and
thereby hangs the present tale.
The staff which every patient about TO
undergo blood-letting was given TO hold in
hs or her hand during the proceedings
was frequently, when not in use, placed
outside the door and soon became the
recognized sign of the sclf-constitutcd
phlebotomists profession Now two
long bandages were used i'm the opera
tion. one twisted around the arm before
bleeding and the other used 10 bind it
alterward these would he often kept
wound around the pole for convenience,
So as to be ready at hand when needed.
And so when in the course of time a per
msnent pole was planted outside the
BARRIERS door. IL was found much handler
to paint "a representation of the two band
ages (one white and the other blood
stainod) upon it, and it was so done ac-
cordingiy.

PROTEST AGAINST A MARRIAGE.

Editor Every Evening-A marriage
occurred in this city on Saturday after
noon, which, according to the views of
the relatives of the bride and members
OF her family should not have taken
place The parties united in marriage
were George Truitt and Annie c.
Green In the first place, we desire
the public and her many friends to under
stand that the Protestant Church to
which they belonged does not sanction
the marriage. the groom being divorced
man. and Bishop Coleman Of the Diocese
of Delaware firmly refused to marry them,
which is the law of the church and of
God But when they visited Grace Church
parsonage they found the clergyman of
that church perfectly willing, and with a
prominent couple of this city as their
sponsors they were married, much to the
disgust and astonishment of the brides
brother and sister. who are her only rela-
tives living in this city.

A "cornfIeld" Lawver.

the sketch Of Senator Tillman Of
South Carolina contained in the Official
Directory OF Congress, it is stated that
"he followed farming as a pursuit until
he entered politics. In the course of a
recent discussion Of the constitutional
points raised against the Hepburn Rail-
road Rates bill, seantor Tillman alluded
to himself as a "cornfeld lawyer"
There is no doubt that Senator Tillman
has aptly set himself down. "Confeld
lawyers" are not unknown in this coun-
try. On the contrary, they abound in
every community where courts Of justice
and equity find a place. Their Offices are
chiefly cigar store "senates" and cross
roads stores. They particularly delight
in jury service, and. once drawn for the
trial Of a cause, they can give the most
learned and eminent judges points on the
construction of existing statutes and the
common law and their application to
issues under consideration.

CANE OF THE DAND1Es.
Their Return to Fashion-shcks With
Pedigrees Rare.


Pedigrees Rare.
London Daily Mail.
The evening dress cane, such as Count
d'Orsay carried to the opera, and a thou
sand famous dandies twirled and twisted
with such grace as they could command,
has been more than usually in evidence
lately, and the stick shops of Mayfair are
noting with surprise an increasing demand
for them.

Of His Maiesty's Thaetre a few nights ago

tasselled, His satin lined opera coat
flung back at the right shoulder, his left
hand carrying daintily his hat this Twen-
tieth Century Beau Brummel progressed
to his seat with studied, mincing curves
OF his Georgian cane.
The opera cane is mostly malacca with
plain silver Or gilt head and is not ex-
pensive, ranging in price from 5s. to 25s.
There is always a certain not inconsider-
able sale for IL, and sometimes an ex-
ceptionally good specimen is wanted for
present.
The late Austrian Ambassador in Lon
don paid ID pounds for one which he
was giving to an English royal parsonage,
and the top of which was bloodstone
overlaid with gold fligree work; W. X.
Vanderbilt paid > pounds for one with a
round gold top, and two with tortoise
shell handles given as presents during
the coronation festivities, cost 35 pounds
each.
Pedigree ' canes are extraordinary rare
considering how common they have been
during the past three centuries. They
rarely appear at sales, and frequently
change hands privately at price Of 100
pounds and more, though mostly only
common malacca with plain silver tops.
Two belonging to Sir Horace Walpole
are eXtant, with plain tops and holes for
the tassels; and one or two King Charles
canes exist with their pedigrees in good
order.
The revival of this picturesque evening
fashion would doubtless bring o light
many more.
