TIE possibility of hostilities between
the two great European powers and
the effect it will have upon our country,
is thus noted by the New York Tri-
JUae:
"The imminence of a European war
gives fresh illustration of the saying,
that i'll blows the wind that profits no
body. England has heretofore been
purchasing large quantities of oats in
Russia. She has now sent her orders
to this country AT the same time she
has given an order to a Chicago house
for 5, 100000 cans of meat, while other
American houses are furnishing pumps
for the use of her army in Egypt.
The low price of wheat has led to a
largely decreased acreage in the North
west and this fact with the probable
falling off in the foreign crop leads
farmers to expect a return of good
prices Europe, Asia and Africa are
the scenes of military movements and
preparations which threaten to lead to
a crisis at almost any moment. No
one with humane feelings wishes for
war, famine and pestilence abroad.
But it is not in human nature to ignore
the fact that such misfortunes make a
demand for American products"

THE Legislature took another trip
on Friday, this time to the New Castle
county almshouse, to further little
scheme of that county to saddle a part
of the enormous debt of that building
on the State, the bonds of which ma
ture next year. The scheme under
which it is proposed to bring this
about is to constitute it an insane
asylum for the State. 1t is all well
enough for the State to provide for its
untOrtunates, bat with less than s., 900

penses of the State are paid, we are in

DIR. Nathan Pratt, of Milford, was ap-
pointed on Saturday by Governor

usual Of bright, sparkIlng news

THE first move in the direction of
temperance legislation was made last
week when Representative Atkins, of
Broodkiin, Sussex county, introduced
a local option bill for that hundred,
asking that the citizens be permitted
to vote on the question at a special
election in May, whether Intoxicating
liquors shall be sold there or not
The temperance feeling in the House
is said to be very slight, and this
Legislature like its predecessors are
disposed to handle it very gingerly,
fearing the "mouse in the meal-tub"
in all such legislations for temperance
and sobriety.

Delaware College is generally appro-

The Effect on Labor.

The extreme cold weather of the
past week, the mercury falling as low
as 1O' (about which there is no dispute
among the people as being the coolest
they ever experienced for the last OF
March), is very detrimental to bust
ness and depressing to trade. The
laboring men who are usually very
busy at this time Of the year, are vir-
tually out of work because there is
nothing they can do in the open air.
Besides cutting wood, the farm hands
who mostly set in from the first to the
middle of March, can find little to do
because of the frozen condition of the
ground, and the bosses" as they say,
are put to their stumps." If they
could grub or dig post holes the most
of them could find profitable employ
ment until such times as the plow
could be started. The grub supply
III the meantime has to be kept UP the
same as if everything was lovely ana

TURN THE RASCALS OUT.

When the Democratic party went into
Office it went in with the cry, "turn the
rascals out" No rascals have been turned
out yet. 1t has been found that the
money in the treasury vaults is not short,
thus completely settling the Virginia
congressman who has for years been
insisting that count of the money would
show rascalities. "Let us get at the
books" the Democrats demanded, in
order to show who the rascals were that
should be turned out. The books have
been in Democratic possession for four
months and no rascalities have been dis
covered The persons who have been
turned out have in all cases proved to be
excellent officials against whose honesty
there has not been a single Charge. One
of the first to go was the Chicago post
master, of whose administration the
postmaster-generals said "it is simply
perfect" His successor, by the way, has
applied for modification of the civil
service reform rules, which fhe Repub-
lican postmaster enforced rigldly. All
other cases of removal are like this.
The removals are made on the ground
of offensive partisanship-that is to say,
the Republican officials are charged with
having subordinated the government in
terests to party interests. In not single
case has any such charge been substan-
tiated. The records show that the bust
ness Of the government has not been
neglected. But the charge is offensive
partisanship and the conclusion is that
rascality in the political sense is the
subordination of the public to private
interests. With this definition before us,
we can easily find good many Demo-
cratic rascals who have been put in and
who should be turned out. Higgins is
not alone as a Democratic rascal, but he
is type and may stand for the whole
lot of Democratic rascals. About his
offensiveness there can be no sort Of
question, The Mugwumps charge itand
the Democratic organs proudly admit it
and Tom Hendricks warmly applauds it.
He was appointed as Democratic rascal
and he has openly violated the Civil
service law, which remained inYiolate
under the Republican administration.
His ofensiveDess is known to the presi-
dent, who has interviewed him on the
subject. He practically defes the ad-
ministration to remove him, knowing be
has the backing of the Democratic party,
SO that his offtnsiveness is conspicuous
and painful.
The administration went in for the
purpose of turning the rascals out. Yet,
here is this Democratic rascal who re-
mains type of other Democratic lascaIs,
while faithful Republican officials who
are not offensive are turned out. Turn
the rascals out.-Mil.oGukee Sentinel
