have become virtually disfraFhised
and ara enjoying all the rights Of citi-
uensbip except that Of voting without
paying any taxes or contributing in
any way to the support CT the State
and county governments. A fair and
equitable assessment Of citizens other
wise qualified to vote would equalize
the taxes, taking the burthen Of heavy
taxation from the shoulders Of those
who have SO long borne it.
Another reason why there should be
no objection to the appointment OF su'
pervisors, and rather that there should
be a willing aequiescsncs in the move
ment is that it is entirely non
non partisan, the law requiring the ap-
pointment, if there be two Supervisors,
of one Of each of the leading political
parties. This alone divests the case OF
partisan bias, there not being a MAORI
ty Of Supervisors one way or the other.
That assessments have been very loose
ly and carelessly made cannot be de-
MED, and the charge may be true that
one party as much as another is guilty of
exercising partisan bias in the assess
ment of voters, and If this be rue, then
the supervision Of supervisors will cor
rect this evil. Assessors are elected by
the people and there are in New Castle
County Assessors of both the political
parties which divide public sentiment,
and both would be the subjects Of scru-
tiny by the supervisors, and as Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Greenbackers, and
men alike have lost the
right to vote by not being assessed, this
is sufficient reason why there should
not only be no objection to the appoint
ment OF Supervisors, but that all should
mite in asking for their appointment.

Railroad Building.

At various times after the commence
ment of the dull times that followed the
failure of Jay Cooke & Co., We heard
the remark made that railroad building
had been overdone, and intelligent
men generally acquiesced therein. On
each Of these occasions we ventured
the prediction that there would be as
many miles of railroad constructed in
the United States in the coming ten
years, as there had been in the pre-
ceding ten. Some persons thought We
were wild, but time will prove that we
were not far from right. In the past
year there were built 3,37SI miles Of
railroad, and the prospect for coll
tinuous work is fattering. The rail
road system in this country is yet in its
infancy, comparatively speaking, and
the coming generation will BIZ fully sat
isfsd on this point. Even in the old
States many miles of railroads will be
built before many years elapse, while
in the new ones the work of construc-
ton will go steadily forward, until the
various towns are linked together with
bands of iron or steel. Within the
past year nearly 1000 miles of railroai
have been built, 1874 miles beingin MIN
nesota, 81 in Iowa, 22o in Dakota, 2l3
in Ohio, 256 in Arizona, and every
State in the Union contributes to swell
the amount until the grand total of
nearly 1000 miles is made up. The
resources of our country are great and
prosperity will attend their develop
ment.

GarcelOn aUsnrper.

According to the strict construction
OF the letter of the Constitution, Maine
now has no Governor, nor will not
have any until the Legislature meets
next Wednesday. the 7th inst. when
q Governor can be elected by the
Legislature. Section 2 of Article 5,
part l, of the Constitution of Maine
says: "The Governor shall be elected
by the qualified electors, and shall hold
his efice one year, from the first We'd
nesday Of January in each year." The
first Wednesday of January, 1879, was
also the first day Of January. 1t is
asserted, therefore, that Governor Gar
celon's term of Office expires tomorrow
at noon, and that any exercise by him
of the Functions of Governor after that
hour will be usurpation Of authority.
1t has been suggested by the Fusion.
lists that the plain intent ofthe Consti.
tuition is that there shall be no interreg-
mum, and that, therefore, Governor
Garcelon ought to remain in Office until
his successor is elected. No doubt this
reasoning is true but it is also true
that it is the intent Of the Consultation
and laws of Maine that majority Of the
qualified voters in each Legislative Dis
trict of the State shall decide who shall
represent them at Augusta. Governor
Garcelon however has decided to be
governed by the strict letter instead of
the spirit of the law, and it is no more
than right that he should take his own
medicine, or in other words be govern
ed as he wonld govern. Senator Car
penter one of the best constitutional
lawyers in the nation, after hearing it,
said "There can he nothing palmer than
that under proper construction Of the
language of the Constitution Goyerner
Garcelon cannot exercise any authori-
ty whatever as Governor one hour after
the expiration of one year from the
lst Of last january"
1t is therefore plainly evident that
although Garcelon may hold ON to
his Office until his successor is ap-
pointed, he is nevertheless usurper,
and having not only been guilty of
stealing Legislature is guilty of the
double theft of stealing the Governors
Office, and is more thief than ever.

The origin Of the term ''dark horse is ex-
planned by the Cincinnati Engnirer -
There lived ia Tennessee an old chap nam
ed Sam Flynn, who traded in horses and
generally conuived TO own q speedy nag
or two, which he used for racing purposes
whenever he could pick up soft match"
during his travels. The best Of his flyers
was coal-black stallion named Dnsky
Pete, who was almost thoroughbred, and
able 10 60 In the best Of company. Flynn
was accustomed to saddle Pete when ap-
preaching town and ride him into it to
give the impression that the animal was
merely "a likely hoss, aud not a hyer.
One day be came TO town where coun-
try race-meeting was being held and he
entered Pete among the contestants. The
people of the town, not knowing anything
Of his sntecedents, and not being over i'm
pressed by his appearance, backed two or
three local favorites heavily against him.
Flynn moved among the crowd, and took
all the bets offered against his nag. Just
as the "ayers" were being saddled for the
race old Judge McMinamee, who was the
turf oracle Of ssat part Of the State, arrived
on the course, and was made one Of the
judges. As he took his place on the stand
be was told how the betting ran, and Of
the folly Of the owner Of the strange en-
try in backing his aplug" SO heavily.
Running his eye over track, the judge
instantly Recognised Pete, aud he said:
"Gentleman, there's dark horse IN this
race that will make some Of you sick be-
before supper The judge was right.
Pete, "the dark horse" lay back until The
three-quarter polo was reached, when he
went to the front with rush and won the
purse and Flynn's betswith the greatest ease

in one Of the upper windows Suddenly
the light vanished, and reappeared mo

times in quick succession.

Courageous as Everett was, he felt his

What a Volcano Gan Do.

Cotapaxi, in 1898, threw its iiery rock
cts 5000 feet above its crater, while in
1854 the blazing mass, struggling for an
outlet, roared so that its awful voice was
heard at distance of more than 600
miles. In 1897 the crater Of Tungura-
qua, one Of the great peaks Of the Andes,
flung out torrents Of mud, which damned
up the rivers, opened new lakes, and, in
valleys 1000 feet wide, made deposits
GOO feet deep. Tho stream from Vesu-
vius which, in 1887, passed through Tore
del Greco, contained 33,000,000 cubic
feet Of solid matter, and In 1898, when
Tore del Greco was destroyed a second
time, the mass Of lava amounted TO as
100000 cubic feet. In 1860 Etna
poured forth food which covered eighty
four square miles Of surface, and measured
nearly 1000, 900, ,000 cubic feet. On this
occasion the sand and seoria formed the
Monte Rosini, near Nicholosa, conc OF

high. The stream thrown out by Etna
In 1910 was in motion at the rate of q
yard day for nine months after the erup-

tion, was not thoroughly cool aud cousoli-
dated for ten years after the event. 10

scoria and ashes vomised forth far exceed

and Egypt; il hurled stones eight pounds
in weight to Pompeii, distance Of six
miles, where similar masses were tossed

Fan Sowing of Glover.

From field 10 Franklin township light.
ly sown to clover with wheat and
timothy last fall an excellent crop Of
cloyerseed Is now being taken. The ground
was well covered--twO weeks after harvest
the clover entirely hiding the wheat stub
ble-the heads large and full, and the
grains plump. The wheat on this ground
turned out heavy crop, leaving the fair
inference that neither wheat nor clover
interfered with each other.
The amount Of clover sown was about
half bushel on ten acres--this mixed
with the usual quantity Of timothy before
pouring into the drill box. Three similar
experiments have been made on the same
farm, two Of them proving thorough sue
cesses. Farmers throughout the neigh
borhood have become interested in the
matter, and number purpose using some
clover with their seeding the present sea-
son. If done early we are satisfied that
in nine cases out Of ten il win pay well.
But the clover must have time to get tol.
erably well rooted before winter sets iu.
The sowing Of cloverseed in the fall
must not be relied upon for the principal
crop, We usO it only as a help--to give
US more clover to handle, whether for feed
or as fertilizer. In addition to fall seed.
ing, we recommend sowing twice In the
spring-once in March and second time
in April. This insurcs ''catch." The
dry and hot weather Of summer may kill
it, but for that there is no remedy. All
other conditions, however, the farmer has
measurably under his control.
Some farmers may think this going to
good deal Of trouble to get clover--but
booking upon clover as the cheapest aud
most reliable Of all fertilizers, as We do,
The time and expense required are nothing
in comparison with the good 50 surely to
be derived Gettysbary Compiler.
