STRANGE BID 10 alice.

TT NDER the caption of "Come with us" one
~ of our bright Dover Democratic ex-
changes makes a remarkable appeal to Former
Senator James Frank Alice and his friends to
Join the Democratic party.
The ex-senator and his friends are assured of
a royal welcome. Good treatment" is aguaran-
teed them The Dover paper does not know
what the Senator is thinking about. politically,
but if he wants to enter the Democratic party
he will find the latch string on the outside.
The paper concludes that "Allees administra-
ton in the Federal Senate was full of dash and
results Although in only four years, he got
more Offices, more river surveys more Federal
buildings and more general recognition than any
other Delaware Republican Senator, some one,
and last of all, he got by the closest association
with Mr.. Bonaparte with whom he lunched daily,
and with others, not excepting the great Roose-
Welt himself, the first great Dreadnaught battle
ship to be named Delaware"
We did not know before that the former Sem
ators friends claimed the entire honor for the
Senator of having the batteshp named after
Delaware. We had thought that some others
were entitled to a share OF the credit
There is a fellow deeing among Kent coun-
.tians and this has much to do with the invita-
tion so earnestly extended to Senator Alice.
Then again the Democrats of Kent well appre-
ciate the valuable services rendered by Former
Senator Alice 10 the Democratic party during
the last campaign. We may add in passing that
the ex-senator at Washington paid much at
tention to the home folks of Kent county
when they visited Washington
Is this person now spoken of so gloriously
former Senator Alice? We have reprinted but
"a few of the sentences of praise that are be-
slowed upon him. the same man who only a few
wears ago was bitterly denounced by the Demo-
Gratis throughout the State and who was made
the target of their batteries Of abuse Nothing
WAS too bad to be said Of Alice. Even during the
fast campaign when the Republican insurgents
boined with the Democrats in making war on
the Republican candidate for Acknowledgement,
the presence of Mr.. Alice in that movement set
the. Democratic organs in quaver and indeed,
they abused the Former Senator with their old
time wgor.
The Dover paper says that the former Sena-
tor is known and beloved by many in this
county, not because of any bad things he has
done, but because of the good that is in him. -
TO Democratic eyes the former political Mr..
Hyde has became a DIR. Jekyl
The invitation may be allurng, but how about
General Kenney and the other Democratic lead
ers should Senator Alice join the ranks of their
party? He might snatch their political leader
ship. How times change If Mr. Addicks
should suddenly recoup his fortune, we have nc
doubt that the Kent County Democrats would
extend a warm invitation to him to become
Democrat.

It will be necessary for the poets Of
the future TO revise imagery as they
describe the conflicts of arms. Furious
Frank and fiery Hun no longer strug-
gle under a sulphurous canopy. The
lines Of Tennyson in celebration Of the
exploit Of the Light Brigade will be-
come archaic. Soldiers on the eve Of
battle will not continue to dance until
the roll of distant guns summons them
from theipf partners. The battlefield
during the most tremendous grapple
may be as smiling as a plain of Prov
cnce, and the song of birds may be
heard as missiles weighing a ton are
hurled through the air.

them in place of my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in
one weeks time l was relieved of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi-
gestion. In a months time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and l could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.

time, and my skin became clear and

The German emperor is in the pc.
culiar predicament of having no less
than two doubles. One, a certain Herr
Nitsche, follows the humble and pro-
sale calling of a chimney sweep. A
year or two ago, when the emperor
was staying at a small German water
ing-place, so the story goes, tailor of
the locality, suddenly waking up to
the fact that he was rather like his
majesty, had his mustache trimmed &C
cordingly, copied the style of dress as
nearly as possible and boldly sailed
forth into the town. His reception
even exceeded his own expectations.
but the incident got to the ears of the
authorities. Next day the ambitious
tailor received a visit from a police
officer with peremptory recommended
ton to alter his appearance or else
leave town. He chose the latter
course.
