PENNEwILL AND THE ORGANIZATION.

A QUEER bit of political romancing is the
story that Governor Pennewill is try
ing to build up a political machine with the idea
of succeeding Senator DUPONT The latest de-
velopment of this yarn is the fantastic connec-
ton between the appointment of Mr. Newton to
be a member OF the Board of Agriculture and
this political machine that the Governor is al
legged to be creating. AS we said we believe the
Governor should have reappointed Mr.. Messick,
but we do not suspect that Mr.. Pennewill had
any idea of personal political machine in mind
when he named Mr. Newton.
There has also been talk that the Organization
is dspleased with the Governor because of the
appointment The active head of the Repub
can Organization in Delaware thing that
seems to strike terror into the minds of the
Democrats Captain Horace Wilson, of this
city, and we do not think that it made a bit
of difference to Captain Wilson and the mem
bers of the State Committee whether Mr. Mes
sick or Mr.. Newton appointed.
No matter what the Governor did he would
not please his political opponents, or satisfy the
Dover Index. which does not lose the slightest
opportunity to drag in the name Of Chief Justice
Pennewill in connection with any of the acts of
the Governor. Evidently the disappointment
over the appointment of the judges still rank
les in the breast OF our Dover contemporary.
During the campaign it was said that the
Governor would be mere tool of the Organiza-
ton. This prediction proved to be wrong Now
the other string is pulled and we find him. ac-
cording to his critics, fighting the Organiza-
ton
There is about as much truth In this view IS
there was in other erroneous statements made
about Mr.. Pennewill.

duct the farm just as he does his great railway
system.
OF late years railroad presidents have been
taking considerable interest in farming. And
not without reason. If a railroad company can
take piece of poor land develop it and turn it
into fair and fertile farm this example will
attract settlers to the neglected country and
prove to them that it is not the land that re-
fuses to yield te proper cultivation but it is
the fault of the farmers themselves who do not
apply the right methods. By cultivating these
worn-out tracts the railroad people really build
new industries which will necessarily contribute
to the support of the railroads.
James J. Hill has long had a hobby of farm
development and has b. +. Yoakum. The
Long Island Railroad farm has become a model
in every respect President McCrea, Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has not Jagged
behind, for VIC have railroad farm in Sus-
sex county which promises some striking lessons
Altogether the interest manifested in farming
by the railroad companies is to be commended
especially since the opinion is freely expressed
that our farms must with their products keep
up with the ever increasing demand for food
supplies from the cities

RAILWAYS AND FARMS.

Central Railroad Company has secured

they could not be cultivated at a profit The
president of the New York Central purposes to
demonstrate the fallacy of this opinion, if pos

Of which run favorable. Amonk these
may be mentioned the decreasing eX-
cess OF exports over imports. The mar
ket for cotton goods is again back to

less regard to the cost of raw material.
Sales of print cloths at Fall River
last week were 100000 pieces. There
mas been Il reduction in the price to
four cents and 4-yard brown shcetings
are now quoted at ca cents. Some
what similar developments arc noted
in wooden and worsted mills. Strong
AMI weak features alternate in the
day to-day trading and there is no lack
of confidence in the belief that under

are sound. The actual volume of bust
ness as whole is not below normal,
but is urevenly distributed Some
Now ENGLAND shoe manufacturers have
recently obtained fair sales, but in gem
cral the market continues slow.
Producers are running low on pre-
serve orders. Buyers in general are
conservative, the price situation still
being the disturbing factor. Conces-

rendered possible the production of Syrup
OF Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles Of plants known to act most

As there is only one genuine Syrup of

method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
