our A..e...nsns Jaws.

Not satisfied with the singing defeat
administered to their party at the polls on
Tuesday last, the Republican organs are
returning to the whining complaints about
the assessment laws Of our State, with
which they opened their futile campaign.
Having failed at the tribunal before which
all public wrongs are righted, TO convince
the people of the State that they had been
uniustly treated, 1t lie hard to imagine what
they hope to gain now, without another
opportunity to appeal to the people for
nearly two years.
Some malcontents who continually howl at
our assessment laws cry wildly for system
of registration, but little reflection will
serve to show that this plan will not prove
nearly as satisfactory as the present law. In
Delaware, not only can the people call upon
the assessors, but the assessors nasst call
upon the people, while under the registra-
tion process the registrars sit at their offices
and wait until the people come to be regis
tered. A great many careless citizens In
this State, who are enabled to vote solely by
the vigilance of the assessors, would soon
find themselves disfranchised by the opera
tions OF the modern registration law.
After all, 1t is idle to argue the question
at this time. The people have decided, BY
large majority" that the present system
is good enough, and when they desire a
change they will not be slow in making the
fact known to the law-making power of the
State.

WHEN SHERIFF CLARK reflects upon the
decent, fair and courteous manner in which
Democratic Board Of Canvass passed upon
his election, two years ago, ,he must feel heart
lily ashamed at the deliberate deception he
practised upon the two Democratic inspectors
On Thursday night last. These gentlemen,
having inadvertently signed the bogus Ger
tificate OF James Martin for Sheriff, asked
that their names. be erased therefrom
and permission having been granted by
the Board of Canvass, the Sheriff ordered
one of the clerks to attend to the matter, but
afterwards refused to allow it to be done.
II makes no difference how far Democrats
depart from the law in the interest of jus
tiee and fair play, a Republican official
never deviates for an instant from the path
OF partisan devotion. Here is a point that
Governor Hall should consider in deciding
The claims of the rival candidates for the
Sheriff's commission.

So the multiples of 12 can be divided
evenly by more numbers than the multiples
Of 10.
Twelve inches make the foot rule, "a
inches the . foot rule and Sc inches the 8
foot rule. Each OF these measures can be
halted and quartered, which cannot be done
with the metre or parts of the metre.
SO there arc 12 ounces in pound
ounces meaning units or ones, and with
the pound we can measure any weight. As
to how many grains should form an ounce
might be open to revision. An ounce is
equal to 1882 cubic inches OF water and has
been 30 from the beginning.
Now If you will take the square root OF
IL you will haye 3.46i; multiply this by 10
and you have the number Of cubic inches In
one pint, 3i.64. All our measures of capac-
ity are multiples of this number. The
writer says; GA peck measure may be
rcfcrable to the cosmos, and yet have no
relation to pint cup, such as would enable
anyone TO calculate quickly the number OF
pints in given number of half pecks. y
Well l6 pints make peck, and pinta q
half peck; what could be easier.
The English system is far more compre-
hensive and practical than tho metrical.
We have pecks, bushels, sacks, quarters
etc, for dry measure, and gallons, kegs,
pipes, hoEsheaus, ETC., Tor liquid measure.
The surveyors have their chains, rods and
perches and acres, roods and perches. We
have yards and furlongs, miles and leagues,
cloth measure is also different. Now, the
metric system cannot take the place OF all this
for it is utterly deficient in its availability
for all these applications.
The writer says tho "metric system has
been adopted in France with very little
Inconvenience to the people, and with
wonderful satisfaction to every body"
The United States Dispensatory says
"Though the decimal system of weights
and measures was established by law In
France, it was found impossible TO procure
its general adoption by the people, who
obstinately adhered TO the old Ioids de mare
and its divisions; or If they adopted the new
weights, gave them the names of the old
weights to which they most nearly ap-
preached. One reason for this adherence to
the old weights was the convenience OF
division into halves, quarters, &c, of which
the new were not susceptible. So that three
systems arc now more or lees in use In
France
Now that is pretty mess they invite us
to. "Confusion worse confounded." This
writer does lot seem to be aware that the
metrical system has been thoroughly tested
in the shops of William Sellers 4 Company
and found to be utterly impracticable.
1t is therefore no improvement and should
not be adopted.

A Comparison of its Merits with Those OF

Measures.
rwrittsu for the Gazette
The Philadelphia Record Of Friday says !;
"a gathering of very worthy fossils took
place at Cleveland yesterday. 1t was called
the annual meeting of the International
Institute for Preserving Weights and
Measures. 1t Ia bard to understand how
men of average common sense can waste
their time in such folly" This action how
ever has become necessary from the secret
and persistent attempt OF certain parties to
introduce the French metric system into
our country. 1t is well for the public to
know, and for parents TO know that in many
scientific papers and In nearly all the recent
school books the French system is put for
ward, and the English kept in the back
ground.
Let us examine the two systems and see
where the folly comes in. The French sys-
TEN is based upon the metre which is 3o.37
inches in length. Now, that is q very awk-
ward number and cannot be halved and
quartered by any OF our measures, and is
not evenly divisible by any whole num-
ber. Nor is there any measure between one
OF 3.93 inches and that Of 39.37 inches.
Now our yard of so inches can be halved
and quartered and we have l2 inch mea-
sure and "a inch measure. The metre is
based on a measurement of part OF the
rough surface of the earth. uur system Is
based on a correct measurement OF the axis
of the earth; that line on which the earth
turns daily, and is straight. or course a
straight line Is better origin of measure
than crooked one. Our system is based
on the inch-not on the yard. BY far the
greater number of measurements made by
US are less than metre and therefore the
inch is the most used Of all measures.
The writer admits that the length of the
metre is not correct, as found by more recent
measurement. But he says that makes no
difference, we have got the stick. Well
that's rich Why not take any stick
Why not take one of more convenient
length, say 10 inches. What was the use of
measuring the arc OF the Meridian
No, that won't do. When you come to
measure lands and countries and earth dis
tanccs your measuring rod must be correct
Where do you get your measure from, but
nature, and where do you get -yoGT time
from but from the heavenly machinery.
He would have all nations dependent on
yard stick, kept-et Paris.
But to make the matter worse the metre
has the decimal system grated on 1t, in
which the chief dividing numbers Is ten.
This makes ii very unsuitable for many
! purposes. In money systems five is a much
more natural and convenient divisor and
| harmonises better with halves and quarters.
| There are five fingers on each hand and tie
| natural method Is TO count each hand alter
natcly as five
| Now our system is duodecimal in which
| the dividing number is twelve and is better
than the decimal because twelve can b,
divided evenly by four numbers and tci

The fall elections being over, with naught
of political character (save an unimport-
ant municipal contest next June) TO excite
the interese>of our people, We may conf
IDENTIFY expect the full attention of the
community to be given to business affairs
for the next eighteen months.
In this connection we desire to call the at

GAZETTE as newspaper, and as a complete
advertising medium by which they can
acquaint the buying public with the facts they
wish them to know. Since the GAZETTE
passed into the hands Of the present man.
agement its circulation has increased
amazingly, its merits as a newspaper
constantly making additions to its
list of readers, despite the heated political
campaign through which we have just
passed. The day after the election the spe-
eial and regular editions reached the enor-
nous extent Of fifteen thousand tro hundreS
and dghty.one copies. OF course, these
issues were stimulated by the election ex-
eitement, but on the following day the reg
ular edition exceeded six thousand, and II
has not fallen much below these figures
since.
During all this time we have not made
she slightest canvass for subscribers, the in
crease in circulation being simply the re-
suit Of publishing flrst-class nepspaper at
price within the reach of all. We have
now instituted complete and vigorous can.
vass of the entire city, and confidently ex-
pect to attain regular circulation of over
sever thousand copies daily before the paper
is six weeks older.
Bufiness men will, we believe, readily
perceive the benefit of advertising in good

therefore hope to soon have our columns

quite as much as is good for
us. Of the higher grades we
have a considerable quantity
OF each of several qualities and
several shades in each quality.
This matter of color is of
more account in plush than
may at first appear. There is
a brown so near black as to
seem black in a dim light.
There is a brown so golden as
to give a clear sheen Of sunset
under an oblique light and
look. There is a brown so on
the edge ofgarnet that it takes
a garnet to bring out the
brown. And you know how
bronze plays with brown to
make seal. Then there are
the other colors more distinct,
Better not buy any color,

shades all around it. Plush
is very exacting as to shades.
