A MISLEADING SIGN

Our democritic friends find in re- publican activity throughout the na- ton a hopeful sign of the election of MT Bryan, forgetting that it has ever been thus. The republican party has never allowed campaigns or any thing else to go by default. There was even greater activity in the last weeks of the campaign of 1896, though the count showed that much of it might have been dispensed with.
 It will be remembered. too, that a vigorous opposition was made to Par ker four years ago. though the re publican party then could have got along without a campaign effort at all This is the republican way of keeping itself in fighting trim against a time when a fight is actually neces- sary, but it is not the opinion of the leaders now that such a time is at hand.
 Therefore let no democrat grow hopeful over republican tactics which can only result in making the re- publican victory more overwhelming.

PeriIs of the Air.

As you watch them at work on the girders clinging to massive steel cor ners. perched on the tops of columns, or leaning out over the street far be- low, it is not the recklessness. but the cool steady nerve that you notice most. Under all the apparent uncon- cern you can feel the enGiess strain. It shows in the looks of their eyes. in the lines of their faces. in the quick. sudden motions, in the slow. cat-like movements. Endlessly facing death. they are quiet and cool by long train ing.
 Up on the Metropolitan Life,r some twenty-five tiers above the street, an enormous circle of stone was being built in as a frame for the clock. A dozen men were at work on the scaf- fold that hung outside. and projecting from overhead was the boom of the derrick that hoisted the massive stone blocks. Suddenly the cable caught. and the full power from the engine below was brought to bear on the derrick All this in an instant. but in that instant somebody saw what was going to happen. With a quick. warning cry he made a leap from the blanks to the solid steel beams of the building There was a rending and tearing above, and, just as the last man leap ed in to safety, the derrick crashed down, bearing with it the scaffold and part of the stone. One empty, breath less moment. then roar from far be- low and a cloud of gray dust came slowly drifting upward to the group of tiny men still clinging to the girders. For a moment longer nobody moved. Then some one broke the spell with a husky laugh, another gave an explo- sive halloO-and the gang set about repairing the damge-Ernest Poole. in the November Everybody's.

THE PARKER COUNTRY.

HE HARhEh OOONIh1.
 Phoenix and Prescott business men who went on the excursion to Par ker last Sunday caught a glimpse of a land of promise whose development so far has added to the prosperity of both towns and has contributed to the erection of a gateway at Wick enburg which is rapidly becoming a point of importance.
 Yet all this is in the beginning The country so far opened up by the A & c. road is of insignificant area in comparison with the vast stretches which will be opened up by the net work of lines which will be thrown out from the A. & c. into rich ad- jacent mineral regions. It is now only a short time since miners an ticipating the railroad began the de- velopment of the country the creat- ing a great field for labor and at the same time a market where none had been expected.
 A rich but remote country has been made easily accessible to the mer- chants and farmers of this valley. The population of that region is growing rapidly and the rapidity of its growth from now on may be ex- pected to proceed in a geometricaI ratio

THE ELECTION IN THE COUNTY.

IT HE Republicans of New Castle county have
Il named a splendid county ticket, and in
view of the record of the Republican party in
control of the affairs of the county and the recol-
lection of the extravaganza and mismanagement
under the old Democratic days, the arguments
advanced by the Democrats in their effort to win
the county amusing.
Mr. Megginson, former member of the Levy
Court, and one familiar with the affairs of the
county, recalls the record of the Republicans in
paying off the bonds for the building of the
Court House, and of the Republican manage
ment by which a burst treasury, a Democratic
legacy, was converted into a filled one The af-
fairs of the county were put upon a businesslike
basis.
The county, to be sure, has spent considerable
money in improvements, but the Levy Court
commissioners have something to show for that
money. The Republicans, among other things,
have started improving the roads of the county,
and such improvement will benefit not only the
residents of the rural regions, but those also in
the city, especially the merchants. From a bust
ness point of view, it would be folly to turn over
the conduct of county affairs to the party that
was never able to retain the confidence of the
voters, but which is seeking desperately by mis-
representing to obtain control of the county.

NEGROES IN THE CAMPAIGN.

NJ UGH has been heard of late of a so-caled
L - revolt among the negroes of the country
against Judge Taft and the Republican party,
and il has been predicted that large percentage
of the negro vote would be cast against the Re-
publican ticket this year.
Judging by the meeting of the so-called Bryan
negroes here the other night there is very little
evidence of disaffection among the race-certainly
there is almost none in Delaware. At some pre-
vious campaigns efforts were made to get negroes
TO support the Democratic ticket, or at least to
refrain from voting, but these efforts met with
little success, and the attempt this year is no
more likely TO succeed than similar efforts sue
cceded in the past.
There was little in the talk of Bishop Walters
who spoke to the handful at German Hall the
other night to cause the negroes to break away
from their political afiliation Certainly Della
ware is poor ground for sowing such seed. The
negroes remember only too we'll their political
experiences in Delaware under the party that
hey now urged to support.
The idea of the bishop that Mr.. Bryan would
appoint men who would give decisions in the
Supreme Court more favorable to the negro race
seems to us far wide Of the mark. Judges are
governed by law and not sentiment. If Demo-
cratic judges anywhere have shown any dsposi-
ton to favor the negroes there is no evidence Of
it.
1t is unfortunate for the promoters of the indie
pendent colored movement that just at the time
il is getting under way and before it has hit upon
the rocks, the Democrats of Georgia sent word
to the negroes. That word is that the State Of
Georgia has followed the line of other Southern
States and disfranchised the colored voters This
is a message of fact that must knock the opinions
of the speakers at the German Hall meeting

AN OLD FoGY ATTACK.

a EXAMPLE Of the unfair tactics being
used by the opposition in this campaign
Is comment that the only information that Mr.
Taylor, president of City Council secured while
Intending the meeting of the League of Ameri-
ran municipalities was that Mr.. Taft would
carry the State of Nebraska This sort of eriti-
cism is so small that it could hide in the cracks
of brick pavement
The visit Of the Wilmington councilmen to at
tend the league convention was highly com
mendable City officials from the large and pro-
gressive cities of the country attend these meet
ines, which have proved most desirable I'm every
way. Democratic members of City Council. as
well as Republican members have held official
positions in the league meetings.
A city that would not be represented at such
gatherings would be an old fogy town, and that
is what some people want to make of Whining
ton. They hate to see Wilmington taking her
place with the progressive sister cities OF the
country and being in line with municipal devel-
opment. Those who engage in such petty criti-
oism of Mr.. Taylor and other members of Coun-
Gil who attended the league convention would
build wall around the city if they had their
way.

THE VISIT OF MR.. scHwAB.

M R. CHARLES NJ. SCaWAB, one of the
= leading and most wde-awake captains of
industry in this country, is to be in Wilmington
next Tuesday, and will be properly entertained
by members OF the Board of Trade. The inter
esting of Mr. Schwab in the affairs of this city
is the biggest stroke of good luck that has be-
fallen Wilmington for maJy day.
Mr.. Schwab is one of those men who have
marveled at the natural advantages of this city,
and wondered, 'peAhaps, why there have been so
many unprogressive people many Rip Van
Wrinkles, who have been sleeping or investing
their money in wildcat Western securities while
opportunity has been knocking at their very
doors at home
It is generally believed that Mr. Schwab and
his fellow business men intend to make a great
plant out OF the Harlan and Hollingsworth Cor
poration and therefore, as he is to become close
ly identified with the people here our city bodies
should extend those courtesies that are due a
practical stranger whose coming means so much
