DELAWARE CAMPAIGN.

WO points about the political situation in
Delaware seem to remove any element of
serious doubt about the result of the election in
this State, although it is by no means advisable
that the Republicans should lessen their efforts.
One element of Republican strength is the
weakness of the Democrats. The Democrats have
lost control Of all three counties. They have been
unable to carry anyone of the counties, and the
maiorites against them at the last election were
large.
The Democrats have not recovered from the
effects of the old-tme factiona fight that split
the party almost twenty years ago. The factional
differences may have subsidized somewhat, but the
embers are only smouldering, ready to break out
again with the slightest breeze This was evil
dent during the recent Democratic State conven-
ton.
In addition TO these factional differences, the
party was splitn this State during 1896 by the
anti-Bryan detection that occurred among the
Democrats in other parts of the country as well
as in Delaware. How many Democrats perma-
nently left the party in this State as a result of
the difference over Bryan cannot be told, but the
election figures fndicase that but few of those
who departed from the Democratic fold have
gone back
The weakness Of the Democrats is therefore,
one source Of strength to their opponents
On the other hand the Republicans have posi-
tive strength Although they have controlled the
administration OF the State government and
thSieiolc nccH euDJSCtcu 10 ClluOlSll, lhey nave
been enabled more than to hold their own. The
voters have at the State elections given the party
a vote OF confidence. AS a result OF Republican
agitation, begun long ago. the laws of this State
have been changed, a fair ballot has been given,
old laws that were the source of intense partisan
bitterness have been wiped out and era has
resulted in our Delaware politics.
The way in which the Republicans can retain
control OF the State is TO give a good. straight
forward administration Of the affairs of the State
If there has been any derection of duty on the
part of any official holding office in the State,
that shortcoming should be promptly pointed out
and the offender punished. The record must be
kept clean in every particular, if the party seeks
TO retain political control.

as well as it does in business.

Bryan's Chances Slim.

San Francisco Argonaut.
The election of Mr.. Bryan Is not
likely. The situation is not more ia
vorable than in 1896, when he had but
lI6 votes to 271 for Mckinley Nor is
it more favorable than in 1900, when
he had 1855 electoral votes against 292
for Mckinley. If there be any State
which he failed to carry before that he
is likely to carry now-leaving the new
and relatively unimportant State of
Oklahoma out of the question-we fail
to see where it is. AS before, Mr..
Bryan is pretty sure to be beaten, and
so far as his own historical repute is
concerned, It will be just as well for

The regular tailor-made coat and

there is little room for individuality,
while the cloth street gown offers
every opportunity for original ideas.
The dress in the sketch is an excel

II is very difficult to estimate the
total loss from cotton wilt. The in
Jury varies from the death of a few
plants to the destruction of hundreds

considered in estimating the loss. We
must add to the actual shortage OF
the crop in the spots where the cot.

surrounding cotton due to the dwarfing
Of the plants from partial infections;
(2) lessened income to the farmers
on account of the necessity of plant
ing on infected land some less profit

cotton out of cultivation altogether;
(3) the increased cost of cultivation
Of wilt-infected spots due to the foot
hold obtained by crab-grass, nut-grass,
cockleburs, and other weeds, after the
death of the cotton; a. a deprecia-

For Lioht Hair.

Anything that is used to tighten the
hair is apt to dry it too much. Try
wetting 1t with very weak henna tea,
perhaps a quarter Of an ounce OF the
leaves with a pint of boiling water, to
stand till the water is cold. The leaves
are strained out and rejected, the tea
being put on the hair evenly, and dry
ing on. 1t must then be washed off.
1t is not impossible that the wash
might give the least reddish tinge to
your hair, and in that case the tea
should be made weaker It must not
be used oftener than once a month.
