OK Wednesday last Mr.. Cleveland
took the oath of office, and for the
first time in twenty-four years the
Democratic party is at the head of
our government. At the time of
Mr.. Cleveland s election there was an
undeniable anxiety throughout the
country as to what would be the eff
feet of so radical change in the adj
ministration. Subsequent events
have shown that there was no
ground for that anxiety, and as the
character and the opinions of the
President were betterunderstood the
people have become more and more
convinced that the Democratic party
has made a wise choice. Mr.. Cleve-
lands Civil Service letter made him
hosts of friends, and his practical
conservative views on the silver
question will secure the confidence
of business men, and of the intelli-
gent among the working classes.
He will have enemies, and the ac-
tion of the House on Tuesday; and
of Mr.. Mills, of Texas, in referring
to him as "Our Democratic Republi-
can president" shows that these enc
mics will be found among the office
seekers, mOnOpOlists and ringsters.
But, backed up by the people, Mr..
Cleveland is prepared to enforce res
pect and obedience, and he will do
it in spite Of lean office-seekers or
bloated whiskey and silver rings.
Honest out-spoken support of Mr..
Cleveland and his policy, with quiet
conservative action, will keep the
power they have gained in Demo-
cratic hands for years; radical chang
es, trucking to whiskey, or fooling
with S5 cent dollars will put them
back for another twenty-four years,
and the peoples verdict will be,
sit serves them right

ceptions, never favored them, and
nothing but the divisions in the Re
publican party saved it from defeat;
it was plain to all that the Demo-
Gratis must advance or 90 under.
Within a few years a reform eie
ment has arisen in opposition to the
BourbOns who have ruled Delaware
so long. 1t was acknowledged that
some improvements we're needed in
our constitution, and three amend
ments to the organic law ofthe State
were proposed. They were not linn
tied to three because no more were
needed, but from a desire to be con-
servative, and handle the hoary
headed institution gently. They
were intended to cure evils that were
so manifestly unjust, unfair and in
convenient that a child could see the
necessity TOR them. These amend
ments were discussed in the legisla-
ture and passed by that body, they
were endorsed by every paper in the
State, they we're approved by the
Governor and the State Convention,
and accepted as the first step in the
march of progress, and when the
members of the present Legislature
accepted their places on the ticket,
it was understood that they pledged
themselves to carry out the prinei-
pies of the party as expressed in
their platform and vote for these re-
forms.
We do not intend to discuss the
amendments, enough has been said
on the subject; the men who are lead
ing the opposition know they are
needed, know they are right, know
that they mean, what they have al
ways opposed, reform; there is but
one question and that is, shall the
Democratic party go on in the paths
of progress or shall it confess that it
''ls waterlOgged by Bourbon barna-
cles" and sink back into the sands
of prejudice?
From the gentlemen from Kent
county who oppose the representa-
tiOn amendment we expected moth
ing better; they are of the genuine
old fOgy stock, born to sit on the
coat tail of progress and holla whoa;
but to think that we should owe de-
feat to Sussex which We hoped would
lead in the race for the right of hon
est government and equal laws
its no use we cannot do the subject
justice.

Now that the question, who shall
be our next Commissioner of Agri-
culture is exciting so much inter
est, the following, cut from the
Rural NelO Yorker is of interest:
"We boldly announce that we are
in favor of the entire abolition ofthe
Department and the saving of the
money now squandered, or of reor-
ganizing it on some common sense
basis, commensurate to the impOr-
tance of the agricultural interests,
and of placing it beyond and above
RFPoRTs 4 the politicians. While
Cleveland, Obaat one Commissioners
next pOne the best they could under
Few hvxisting circumstances, as at
the hesnt organized, the Department
only an incubus on an already
gver-burdened industry. Let us have
a Department worthy of the name,
and that shall really accomplish
something to aid the producer; or let
us relieve agriculture of the stigma.
The farmers had much better pad
die their own canoe than be burdened
with such an old scOw."

The Democratic party came into
powerin Delaware twenty years ago,
it was not advanced through any in
herent merit of its own, or to sup
port or encourage any moral or po-
litieal reform; but il gained its power
through a senseless race prejudice,
and by appeals to that prejudice it
has held control. At no time did it
show any disposition to advance, or
any desire to meet the difficulties
of its position by the rules ofstates-
manship. 1t only had one war cry,
"white mans party" one object Of
dread, the negro; and one desire, to
preserve things as they were in the
time Of its fathers. A few reforms

The Torpedo Guide"


A machine has been patented which
promises to render the torpedo still more
effective. Hitherto there has always been
a great element of uncertainty in the
action of marine explosives, and not I'M
frequently they have completely falsified
the calculation of those who have en-
plOyed them. The torpedo has, indeed,
sometimes proved more destructive to
those who used it than to the enemy
against whom it was directed The new
machine is called the torpedo guide, I"
and it is claimed that it can control, with
absolute certainty, the action of the ex-
plosive at distant of three miles
AS the torpedo is launched on its err
rand of destruction, thin insulated wire
is paid off, and, as the wire i'm nediately
sinks, communication cannot be destroyed
by the enemy. The operator controls the
movements of the torpedo by transmitting
a negative or positive current of elecGric-
ity, and the "guide is so constructed that
the attack can be directed to any given
point with mathematical precision Even
if the ship from which the torpedo pro-
ceeded were moving in one direction, and
the vessel attacked in another, the torpedo
could still be employed, it is stated, with
deadly certainty.
