DELAWARE Is A little state that
stands the present year quiet and serene
through all the political turmoil that
surrounds it, this being its Oft year in
politics. To the West and South is
Maryland, in which is about to be
fought one of he fiercest political con,
tlicts since the war, conflict which we
believe will place Maryland in the Re-
publican galaxy of States. To the
North of us is our big sister, Pennsyl-
vania, engaged in shaking of the tram
mels of modern day Democracy that
stole in and bound her while the Re.
publican party was fighting imaginary
foes in its own household. Nobody
doubts that the land of Penn will return
with shoutingS to her old love, the Re-
publican party. TO the east of us is
New Jersey, buckling on the amor to
engage in a political conflict tina it is
believed will result in a grand Republi-
can victory. With a Republican State
to the south and west, II Republican
State to the north and Republican
State TO the east of us, Delaware is to
stand unmoved and unchanged, because
two Democratic Counties, with 1000"
population, elects twenty representa-
tives to the Legislature, and one Eepub-
lican County, with $4,000 population,
only elects ten members to the Legisa-
ture. This is why Delaware so persist
emily remains Democratic. Nothing
but unfair representation and iniqui-
tous assessment laws keep her chained
to her Democratic idols.

INSURANCE STATEMENTS.


SIR: Tho recent proposition Of THE RE-
PUBLICAN that the local insurance companies
of Washingt should mako an exhibit Of
proved as being the true. policy. In all cities
OF tho union every company of unquestioned
solvency make such statements, generally
semi-annually, regarding the publication
thereof matter of vital interest. Look
at the exhibits of one of these leading eastern
companies and there will be found just such
information in relation to the status of tho
company as the general public most desire TO
have, to wit, the capital stock gross assets,
net surplus amount at risk, how the assets
are invested, and particularly the character
OF tho indemnity the company offers it's
patrons. Neglect to make such
exhibits would be regarded as an
attempt TO conceal the true condition
of the company, subversive of tho
best interests Of fair and honest underwriting,
and unjust TO the public. No reputable COM
pany can afford 10 bear the disparagement,
loss of business, and consequent falling of of
premium receipts as a result of failure TO
make these, periodical exhibits. That the
local companies may not be required by char
ter provision to mako these statements is no
good reason why they should not be made
and published by the public press for the
benefit of all concerned.
The appointment by tho proper authority
of an insurance commissioner ian expert az
an actuary, adiuster, &C., not identified with
any company, local or foreign), would regu-
late tho business in the district upon the
same basis and under the same or similar
regulations as those Of all the states.

CARELESS TARGET PRACTICE.

Tho accidental killing Of young Rodier
seems to be ct occasion to speak about the
careless manner with which target practice is
pursued by young men on the upper Potomac.
The writer has frequently heard the whistle
Of balls shot by parties more intent upon their
own amusement than the lives Of persons in
small boats on the water. An instance that
occurred last May may be cited: While an
chored off Ediso mill, an individual on tho
Maryland shore opened fire upon objects in
the water and at the rocks, merely for amuse.
ment. He took for his target rock not
more than fifty feet from where we were an
chored the balls, several of them, whistled
over our heads entirely too close to be pleas
ant; but he did not seem to realize
the danger We were in. On another
occasion, small boat coming down tho
river, while a party on shore were shooting
at board SO perforated from long practice at
it that n cap could be sunk into it for mark,
although told that the boat was in range, still
persisted in firing, very much to the danger
of the persons in the boat, who had hurriedly
to row out of range or else perhaps be shot.
These are only two instances out Of many
that might be adduced. AS for hearing balls
whistle over ones head, it is the common
experience of all who go up the river for a
days recreation, more especially on Sundays,
which seems to be the day when marksmen
most assemble to pop off their rifles.
As said at the beginning Of this article,
the untimely taking Off of young Rodier
would seem to be q fit occasion to call the at
tention of the authorities to this reprehensi-
bic practice. Cannot something be done to
make the river, at least from the Aqueduct
bridge to the Little falls, safer for pleasure
parties than it now is on account of this
dangerous practice? w. 5. M.

The Unnnlnhed Monument.

The Washington monument has reached
the height of $40 feet, 80 feet higher than
when work commenced this season. No
more marble is on hand, and it is probable, if
the present contract be continued, that the
monument will get no higher this season.
Only small lot of stone has been furnished
by the Lee company under their contract,
and part of this was unfit for use, 1t was es-
timated, on the resumption Of work this
spring that before the winter the monument
would be raised TO the height of ,440 feet
That opinion is not now entertained. Mean
while an officer has been detailed to go to
Lee, Mass, and inquire the reasons for the
failure of the contract.

A NEGLECTED GRAVE,
To the ElIiL0r.


Last August, while making temporary So
jourp in the ancient city of Frederick, Nd,
took occasion to visit the grave of FIsnois
Scott Key. In an obscure corner Of the C me
terry found his grave, and b..lde him that of
his wife and child, A Lmall head stone, "a
inches high and 20 inches wide, is all the
monument that has been erected TO the
memory of the man who gave to the ma
ton that grand old song Of which
we are so proud, the Star Spangled Ban
ner." Under its inspiration, how many mil
lions of men have marched and bled and
died 1t seems incredible that Maryland
should have forgotten to honor 80 eminent
son for all these long years. May we not
hope that some public spirited citizen will see
to it that the last resting place of the author
of the "Star Spangled Banner" may be SO
marked and honored as becomes a grateful
people? UNION.

THE URsULINE ACADEMY.
Unusual Musical Ability Displayed by the
Pupils.

Pupils.
A Washington lady, who happened to be
present, has sent the following excellent ac-
count of the commencement exercises Of the
Ursuline convent-one of the most impor-
tant Catholic institutions of learning in Ohio.
1t will be of interest to the many graduates
and friends in this city:
The thirty-seventh annual commencement
of the Ursuline academy, ST. Martins, Brown
county, Ohio, June 20, was a successful and
interesting event.
Thelprogramme, full Of choice selections,
changed with delightful regularity from lyric
to classic gems, and the musical strength of
Spohr and Schumann suffered nothing, albeit
it was interpreted by mere school girls. The
polonaise from Mignon was particularly we'll
adapted to the display OF Miss Vaccaro's high
soprano voice in forture, her chief
qualities being purity of intonation and fa-
clity of execution, while the graduates song
by Schumann, was rendered with exquisite
touches of color and feeling not oft, n found
in so young singer. All the musical forms
were represented in the evenings entertain
ment; solo, duett, terzette, and quartette.
Great skill in piano performance was shown
in Spohr and Shumann's quintet op. Al,
where the technique and good leadership
of Miss Annie Boyle tended greatly to
the success of the selection in which
melancholy sentiment alternated with bril-
liant fancy. Miss Trask's fine selections, 'The
Nightingale" and "The Mill" made one feel
the power of descriptive music. The artistic
tone painting Of Listz and Joseffy were most
effectually rendered by Miss Trask, aud the
coronation ode and "Ths Lord Ruleth Me-
had nothing Of the strained school girl style
about them.
The harp solo, too of the feeling melody
"oft in tho Silly Night" by Miss Gage, Of
Memphis, was notably graceful. "Stray
