the nomination for Sheriff or not, he will be
Democrat still. No selfish, mercenary OF
convenient Democracy in Mr.. Oldham's
composition No skulking to the ten by
Mr.. Oldham in case of defeat at the nomina-
ton; his party fealty is not measured by
''party pap"
| Mr. Oldham is not only a Democrat
tried and true, bet he is alsoa man in the
| full acceptation or that term. The writer of
this was informed by one who has been his
neighbor for many years, that he is one of
the most scrupulously honest men whom he
had ever known. 1t is pleasure to p esent
such character to the Democratic voters of
| New Castle County and unless our political
horoscope is at fault the Democracts will
nominate Mr.. Robert @. Oldham Saturday
June 18th as their standard bearer for the
Sheriffalty contest.
1t is laid down as political maxim that
it is wise to always ascertain what your
political opponents most desire you to do,
then do just the contrary.
1t is well known fact that the Repub-
licans have much greater solicitude in
Col Thomas Ford's political prospects than
have the Democrats-it is equally well
known that the Republican party have much
more interest in Ford's nomination than
they will exhibit in his election, if by
chance, he should get the nomination.
The motives that prompt the careful
nursing of Ford's boomlet by the pseudo
nurses is too transparent to merit serious
thought. ''After me comes Oldham" cries
the imperious and self-infated Ford, which
analysed is simply threat that 10 case
Oldham is nominated that he (Ford) will
throw his "weighty'' political influence to
the Republican ranks. Ford has made the
same threats before and he will be expected
to repeat such threats until the end of his
political existence. Ford's declaration on
the night of Mr.. ]. P. Almonds nomination
for Mayor that lie would defeat Almond at
the election did not entirely annhilate Mr..
Almonds candidacy, neither will Ford's $
much talking nor wild threats detract from
the strength of Mr.. oldham's upright and
manly canvass.

ssNnts to Crack.n

Miss Estella Morley, young lady of this
city, who evidently good gift for Mathema-
tics, has succeeded in solving one of the
''Nuts to Crack given in our last issue
namely;
"How many changes can be rung upon
eight bells?'
This is an example in the Algebracal
rule known as Permutations and Cumbina-
tions and is worked out thus:-
1x2x3x4x5x6x7xs=4O, 32O. Ans
The second question has not yet been
successfully solved and we repeat it,
Assuming that person can count 100 a
minute, counting continuously night and day,
how long would il take to count a billion?
Let our young friends reckon 1861 days to
the year, and remember that billion is a
million times a million or 1,O00 0nO, OOO, 900.
They will soon find that If Adam had begun

through the task by the present year or in

A NeXed Question.

Der dies by his own vice and folly2 We
understand that in the State of New York
the courts nave decided that if the suicide of
a member is justified by the record of insan-
ity given by coroner's jury, then Life
Assurance and. Beneficiary Societies are
liable for the payment of the full value of
the beneficiary certificate. The question is
peculiarly difficult ore because it seems
only common justice that the widow and
orphans of suicide brother should not be
punished for his transgression. On the
other hand it is notorious that, despite every
precaution, men obtain admission to bene-
ficiary societies who do not obey the moral
and sanitary laws on which health depends,
and who not only become burden to the
Society FF by an early death draw heavily
on the fund to which they have contributed
but little. The subject is one for the earnest
consideration of our beneficiary societies,
whose bylaws on the subject are at present
very imperfect.

Hereditary Alcoholism.

A typical case showing the certainty with
which love for strong drink is transmitted
from father to child recently came before the
magistrate in the Dublin police count where
Robert Lynch,a respectfully clad child about
eight years of age, was charged with having
stolen half-pint of whisky, and the sam e
quantity Of port wine, the property of Mrs.
Emily Boyle, Mrs. Boyle deposod that the
boy and his father had been living with her
for some years past. The father was gener-
ally out all day at bis~6Isiness. One even
ing about -four months ago she missed the
whisky and the wine mentioned from cup
board. She found the child quite drunk,
and on interogating him he admitted hay
ing taken the liquor and drunk every drop
of it. The child had deirtum tremens from
the effects of the drink, and she had to send
him to theCnldrsn' sHospit al,where he had
been under treatment ever since. He had
taken to drink several months back, and
witness often saw him drunk. He had
drunk whole bottle of wine on one occasion
shortly before. She merely charged him with
this last theft in order to have him removed
| to a school where he could be taken care of
She had heard that the boys mother hat
been great drinker, and had separated
from the father on that account. The doc
tor at tile Hospital informed her that Ii,
believed the desire for strong drink had beer
born with the child, and actually formed
part of his nature. The Magistrate said i
was very deplorable case, and the bes
thing he could do would be to send the chilli
to an Industrial School, where he would b.
properly l2oked after and cured.

The Seventh Ward Representative

The Seventh Ward Representative
Those whom necessity compelled to wade
through the slush and mire of Lincoln Street
this past winter will be rejoiced at the effort
Councilman Hersey is making to have
that important thoroughfare paved and cur
bed. At the last meeting of the City Coun-
ell, Mr., Hersey had an ordinance presented
which will have the effect of putting Lin
coin street between Delaware and Shallcross
Avenues in a most excellent condition, and
this is only faint indication of The improve
ments which Mr. Hersey is contemplating
for the benefit of his constituents.
The Western precinct of the Seventh
Ward is developing more rapidly in popu-
lation than any other portion of our city
and the interests of this people demand a
live, progressive, and Independent reprcsen
tatiye and we but echo the sentiment of the
good citizens of the Seventh Ward when we
say they have just such representative in
the person of Mr.. Solomon Hersey.

NO DEATH.

There is no death; tie common end
Of life and growth we comprehend
Is not of forms that cease, but mend;
1t is not DEATH but change.
When wastes the seed the sower sows,
Beneath the clog of Winter SHOWS,
The Autumn harvest plainly shows
1t was not death, but change.
When Science eighs and counts the strands
In economic Natures bands,
She reeolects them in her hands,
So show no loss from change.
They do not die; our darling ones:
From falling leaves to burning suns,
Through wort, on worlds the legend runs
That deaaktS nonght but change.
When stills the heart, and dims the eye,
And round our couch friends wonder why
The signs have ceased they know us by
1t il not death, hut change

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

All honor to the Board of Trade for the
good service they did their fellow townsmen
on Wednesday evening in unhesitatingly
denouncing the"West Sewerage System. 1.-THE
Board of Health had already taken the initia-
tive in objecting to the West System, but the
action of that body did not assume the practi-
cal, uneompromising character of the oppo-
sition of the Board of Trade. While certain
members of City Council were actually
endeavoring to force through an ordinance
empowering the West corporation to do
pretty much as they pleased; whilst few
select officials went down to Atlantic City
to be "dined and wined, ana of course
returned with glowing accounts of the
scheme, the Board of Trade quietly made
it's own inquiries and found( Ito put it mildly
that the representations of the "West"
Company as to the extent and success of
their operations in other cities were not
founded ON fact.
1t is fair to assume that had not the Board
of Health and the Board of Trade taken
such a firm position against the scheme it
would have been rushed through Council by
the same means and with the same ease as
in the case of the Scott Street crossing. All
this in the face of the fact that no plans had
been submitted to Council by the company;
no borings taken in the sections proposed to
be traversed by the sewer; no assurance
given that the City should be held safe in the
event of the failure of the measure; in short,
no such information afforded as any sensible
private individual would be apt to require
before permitting an experimental altera-
tion of the drainage of his premises. Verify
these foreign corporations appear to have
but a poor opinion of the wisdom of the city
fathers But they had forgotten that we
have Board of Trade, a non-political body,
composed of representative citizens and
pldctlchl business nell. Al nOnor TO the
Board of Trade!
There remains yet one danger to be guard
ed against. Quietly and insidiously, the
Herring plan-a measure even more objec-
tionable in its way than the West system-is
being again pushed to the front If our
townsnen will quietly reflect that the Her
ing system proposes to turn part of the sew
age of the city into the Christlana (already
SO polluted that catfish md cells only
remain in its waters which formerly emed
with fish)-then we are sure they will
demand that Council shall not be the sport
of every speculator with an axe to grind and
that before committing themselves to the
serious discussion of any sewerage project,
the City Fathers shall ascertain if the pro
jectors have succeeded elsewhere. have
taken tine necessary borings, and have
something more than shrewd lawyer and a
terrapin supper to back up their PROPOSE
tion.

ing rice, which he said he had done one
hundred times. .
Telling him that he would find fifteen
pounds in the locker, and c%autionine
him about cooking too much, the cap
tain went about his business Of loading
his vessel with pig IRON.
In half an hour the new cook rushed
out, exclaiming.-
"Say, captain, don't take on any
moro pig iron; We will have D load OF

The captain rushed into the cabin
where he found all the pots, kettles,
pans, and tubs full to over1owing with
cooked rice, which wa also seething
over the top of tho kettle and falling
