During the harvest season an honest old
farmer out on the Gratipt road employed
three young men from the city to help cut and
store his timothy. None Of them liked work
half as well az whisky. and n conspiracy was

trio fell down In the field, shouting and kick
Ing, and the other two ran tn the farmer
with wild eyes and called out that their com
panion had been bitten by rattesnake and
must have whisky. The farmer rushed tc
the house and brought out u quart. and the
three harvester get big drink all around on
the sly, while the "hitien'' one had q lay-pfl

THE expenditures by the national
government are not fairly distributed
among the States. Delaware which con-
tributes more tax than almost any other
Congressional District in the unloh' re-
ceives comparatively nothing Tor the
benefit of her rivers and harbors. The
large delegations from the Northern
States manage to get vast sums TO ex-
pend in their cities for great buildings,
and immense sums lavished on their
rivers and harbors but Delaware has
not been able to secure even an Ice pier
to improve the barbor at the mouth oil
the Christ'ana where more vessels run
in for shelter than anywhere else on the
Delaware river. This matter can be
remedied by the next Congress if our
whole people in this city will only eSer.
themselves to effect the object they desire,
and not destroy the effects Of their eff
forts by differing upon what they ask
to have done. Stone piers have been
erected at all the other points on the
river between Delaware City and Phila-
delphia, and there sho0ld lave
been at least two or three such piers
at the mouth Of the Christiana'
In the city of New York the govern
ment is now cutting a great ship cana
to unite the East River with the
Hudson River at Harlem. Four hun
dred thousand dollars wers appproprl
ated at the last regular session for thi'
purpose, and work has already beel
commenced. OF course this is only be
ginning no doubt millions will have t.
be expended there before the canal
completed. We ask for general er
couragement for Mr.. McGhnchey's pre-
posed effort by the City Council. Cel
tainly our Representative and Ser atoi
will give us all the aid they can and W
believe they will be successful if they ar
persistent in their efforts.

STREETS are now paved by steam IN
Philadelphia. The engine resembles
a steam fire engine and is managed oy
two men. 1t is the invention Of the con-
tractor who uses it, and it performs the
labor Of six men, paving eight hundred
square yards with cooble' or broken r,
stone, per day. 1t works as well on
Belgian block. 1t carries a supply OF
water and coal sufficient for tSoor three
hours work, and being independent oil
horse power, when the water runs low
in the tank, it may be moved by It's own
power to the nearest pump. AT present
the engine is at work on Paschal s'ree'
near Fiffy-sixth.

WHEN JAMES BUCHANAN was Min
lister to England his sa airy was $4,000 a
year. Up to that time the foreign Min
listers were mostly from the Southern
States, and no complaint was heard OF
the insutticiency of salary. MIR. Bu-
chanan refused to appear at court in any |
other dress than plain suit of black. |
The English patent snob who had ad
mission to Court from rank of birth were
horror-struck at the idea of the rude and
unpublished republican Democrats as
sumption. They were disposed to give
him wide berth for few minutes but
it was not long they had to wait, very
soon the tall and elegant figure of the
American Statesman was summoned to
approach the Queen and he was soon
the observed Of all observers; receiving
more special attention from royalty than
any of the foreign court latterers. Vic
toria had learned beflre of his great
ability, and that in all probability he
would be called to the head of Repub-
lie that then stood forward as the most
powerful nation of freemen on earth and
sea that had yet ever had an existence in
the world.
Since James Buchanan was Minister
to England in 1854, the salary Of that
Office has been increased to $4,000 a
year, and now we still hear the cry fol
more. 1t is folly for republic to un-
dertake to rival monarchies in salaries
When this is done there is danger tina

Sound Advice TO General Evs Ing

We copy elsewhere an article from the
Erening Express on General Ewing's can
vass in OHIO, which is so sound and SEN
sible that we commend it to the Generals
attention. If the democrats want to
carry elections they must agree to dis
agree on incidentals and minor issues
and combine solidly on those questions
on which they agreed. General Ewing
is, as his opponents are obliged To ac-
nowledge, an able and honest man he
is a man with q career before him. 1t
he can unite and harmonize the demo-
cratic party, and by SO doing carry Ohio,
he will be worth dozen of the theoIeti-
cal politicians like Governor Robinson,
whose highest success is TO divide their
party and leave it in the minority. Let
the democrats here and in Ohio take ex-
ample by what the republicans have done
| They were and are as much at logger
heads on the currency question as the
| democrats. There is no shade of that
question which has not republican repre-.
sentatives and a republican following,
and the Warner silver bill was passed in
the House by the beIp of republican
votes. But they have stopped all their
dissensions in order to carry Ohio, and
if possible New Yo also. Let the DEM
ocrats act with the same prudent gener-
alsnip. The Ecening Express is right
and wise when it wages "Let all dem
ocrats stand squarely together on the
broad common ground of ther historic
principles, leaving personal and peculiar
opinions to those who hold them, anc
there will be no difficulty In preserving
the harmony which is essential to sue
cess"
The strong points of General Ewing
canvass are the democratic economies II
the expenditures, aud the questions re
. lating to troops aud other federal inter
, ferenee at the polls. His showing of th
saving which has been effected in ih
national administration since the demo
e Gratis came into possession of the Hous
of Representatives IS unanswerable, an
:, it will strike the people. The sing
notorious fact that since the democra
e obtained the mastery of the House, IL
o lobby has utterly disappeared from Was
n ington is an argument which every ia
mer and mechanic in Ohio can unde
3 stand 1t means that huge and wastef
II leaks in the Treasury have been sto
= ped.

Gratis have to remember is that they MT
ie unite if they mean to carry the Stat

tain with modest sufiiciency, and can
demonstrate that the much talked Of but
altogether too little practiced simplicity
OF republicanism is something more
than . phrase for the use of Fourth Of
July orators. Whether or not the sim
plicity of living, which is popularity and
traditionally supposed to be an acces-
sorry of republicanism will make any
impression in London or elsewhere, will
of course depend upon the man who at

Some statist has been at the trouble to
add up the aggregate wealth Of Great
Britain and France, and finds that France
is slightly the richer. france values her
priva,e properly, real and personal, At
s43, ll0, 900, 900, and her navy, palaces,
public buildings and other public prop
erty, excepting highways, at 81, 1,475, ,O00,-
600, making S44, ,5S5, GOO, 900. The agere-
gate estimate for England, Wales, Scot
land andIreland, without reckoning public
highways, is s42,5oo,ooo,Ooo. Real es-
tate in France greatly exceeds in area
that of England, while in the latter there
is great excess of personal property
over the former. This estimate, it will
be seen excludes all colonies. If they
were added, Great Bri ain would greatly
exceed France in the aggregate valua-
tion.

STATEsMANsHIP does not consist in
fowery oratory or in making finely
written speeches for the entertainment
of the lis ener or the reader. That Is
very well for counselors and advocates.
But real craftsmanship is found in
sagacity-forecast and provision to meet
danger and avoid il or ward it off. To
provide the ''ways and means" with the
least burden of taxation to the indus
trious laborer-to preserve the peace Of
the nation and secure prosperity. Such
craftsmanship is invaluable, and yet Is
never found vaunting itself.
