Locks No Longer There.

Mr.. sibley Of Pennsylvania was
making a speech in the house about
the rate bill when Ollie James of Ken
lucky broke In with fierce inter-
ruption. Mr.. James is the baldest
man in the house, excepting Mr.. Sib-
ley, and Mr.. Sibley is the baldest man
in the house except Mr.. James. On
sunny days persons who sit behind
them have to wear binders. Mr..
James kept plaguing Mr.. Sibley until
both became excited. The verbal duel
waxed hotter and hotter until Sibley,
striding into the aisle and shaking
his finger at James, cried furiously:
"Sir, you can not shake your CORY

once that this was true. He suffered

TRYING TO NiIGGLE OUT.

The public stands by an isurance
of losses supposed to be due to in
cendiarism. In doing all they can to
convict they are protecting them
selves. But the public has no pa
tience with companies that "Wiggle'
and lump out technicalities to escape
navment of honest losses. The re-
flsal to paw the fire losses at San
Francisco is indefensible. The peo-
pie paid their premiums regularly and
the attempt now to shirk response
bility is Il piece of business unworthy
of the big insurance companies that
refuse to pay. 1t is evident the fight
will be a long one, but the San Fran

are determined to compel the COM

Perry Belmont interviewed by the
New York Herald, spoke a parable
when he said:
The issues of the present day are
embodied in the personality and char
acter of Mr., Bryan, whose e~Xtraordi-
nary popularity is unquestioned and
deserved. He is q great Democrat,
whose sincerity and honesty of pur-
pose is now recognized and welcomed
wherever Democracy thrives or eX-
lists"
Mr.. Belmont agrees with most other
people who spent last winter in Wash
ington and predicts that Roosevelt
Will be the Republican nominee. He
says the silver issue Is dead and the
ghost was finally laid to rest in 1904"
Mr.. Belmont was one of the New
York Democratic leaders who did not
support Bryan in 1896 and went
abroad to aVOid voting against the
Democratic ticket. lie expresses the
views of most Democrats who did not
favor Bryan in 1896 and who now feel
that lin the personality and charac-
ter of Bryan" the Democrats AVE EN-
bodied the vital and winning issue.

them, Mr.. Farrior, refused to pay

WIININGTON'S EXAMPLE,.

There is progress and development
going IN in nearly every section Of
the State. Those sections that do most
to advertise their and a6-
vantages attract most good settlers
and the attraction of most capital. The
towns and cities that are growing most
rapidly are those that do most to let
their progress and the chance to sue
coed there be widely known.
Some years ago, Wilmington, our
chief city. seemed content to grow
slowly. Recently it has roNn rap
idly. Why? Because it is letting the
world know what it has. The land IN
the country has more than doubled in
value in the last year or two because
Of its adaptation to truck growing.
Its business men now purpose to
send to the next State Fair an exhibit
of the resources of the county. It will
be attractive and accelerate the pros
perity of the town and city.
W~ilmington's example is one that
business men Of other 1--we places could
adopt with profit.
