The editor OF the Philadelphia North
American Review cannot diyest himself
Of the Republican lcayen in his compost.
ton. Under the head Of "a Disiran-
chiscd People" he writes an article in the
last Review, over his signature, attacking
the legislation OF the state Of Delaware,
where, he says, "thcre exists a class OF
Intelligent people DISTINGUISHED, deprived
OF political rights, aud condemned by acts
Of legislature TO the perpetual yoke Of one
political party" lie protests at the out
start that partisan feeling has nothing TO
do with this singing out the state OF
Delaware, nor is It thus distinguished
because Us political legislation has been
directed by the Democratic party. ut
may be well, however, to say at the out
set that we are not prompted by the
shlbboicth Of any party, aud that the en-
dcavor has been to conduct all research
In spirit free from the stain Of partisan
purpose. Should such glarlng evils at
any time appear in a state devoted to Re
publican interests 10 would offer to us II
field equally inviting for inquiry and
grave reflection
The charge against poor little Della
ware is that the registry laws OF that
state have been SO cunningIy devised by
Democratic politicians as to make It inn
possible for Republicans to vote, by re-
qulrlng them TO pay poll tax. But as
the Democrats have TO pay the same tax,
II is not easy to see how the Republicans
arc Disseminated against.
Figures are easily accessible to prove
that, II voters are DISTINGUISHED in the
Democratic state OF Delaware, they are
DISTINGUISHED in greater degree in the
Republican states of Illinois, Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island. The proportion
OF actual voters 10 the voting population
Is much greater in Delaware than in either
OF those states. The following table OF
comparison will show this TO be true;

coming up the road they bore with
their OWE hands a feather bed from
the Zibriskie house to the Hopper
house across the creek. Behind it
was the American officer, who in that
way was conducted to place of safety.
The Zabrlskie house, being q tavern
and public place, was burned, but
the rest of the place was spared. Col.
Burr was informed of the invasion.
Down from the Glove he clsttered at
the head of troop, anxious to display
his valor before the Widow Provost.
The British had started back from
Hackensack. He pursued them, but
no engagement took place, although
when almost in their stronghold a
few shots were exchanged.
The year 1779 found Col. Burr in
command of the Winchester lines,
with headquarters at White Plains,
eight miles east of the Hudson river.
One dark night he detailed six trusty
troopers to have ready at Sunnysi1e
(afterward the home of Washington
Irving a large barge, full of blankets
and skins. AT 8 o'clock he left his
camp and galloped to the river. He
led his horse into the barge, threw it,
and bound it. The barge was pulled
to the west shore, where Col. Burr re
leased his horse, threw himself on its
back, and spurred it thirteen miles
through the darkness to the home of
the far widow. He reached the Herm-
itage at midnight, remaining until 2
in the morning when he started back
as he came. The entire distance was
beset with danger, but Col. Burr
made the trip once. if not twice, more.
July 2, 1852, Col. Burr took the
Widow Provost to be bis wife. The
nuptials were celebrated in the Para
mus Git was then spelled Pyramus)
church, two miles from Hopperstown,
in the valley. The church was stone
affair, octagenal in form. The steeple
ran up from the center of the roof, and
the pulpit was in the center of the
church. There were no pews in the
meeting house. The people had chairs,
the ownership of which they deter~
mined by having their names written
on them. When there was preaching
the congregation all pulled up lose
around the pu pit and listened TOW
the dominic had to say. There wa
preaching in Pyramus in 1925, but
the church in which Col. Burr was
married was not built until 1886 For
tine the church was used by The
British as a prison in which to keep
colonial captlves. The present edi-
fee, a square stone structure. was
built in 1900 and rem odeled in 1872.
In the churchyard are graves SO old
that no idea of the time of burial can
be obtained by any records or signs in
existence. For the first burials there
were no inscriptions to tell who re-
posed in the yard. Flat stones picked
up in the fields were used to mark the
graves. Subsequently the names and
ages were carved On the stones.
When Col. Burr went 10 Albany to
practise law ho took his wife, the
whilom Widow Provost, with him.
When his political fame was increas
ing, it was recalled that he had mar
ried the widow of a British officer.
The feeling against the British was SO
intense that this fact alone destroyed
his political chances.

THE STRUGGLE IN DENMARK.
Three Men to Whom Recent Events
Have Drawn Wide attention.
Nov CIR

The following sketches of Premier
Estrup and Mr.. Berg, the leaders of
the two great political parties in Dan
mark, and also Of Theodore Rasmuss-
en-, the printer who attempted the as
sassination of Premier Estrup. His ex-
cellency Jacob Scavenlus Estrup, the
premier and leader of the conserva-
tive party in Denmark, was early
prominent among the great landed
proprietors or ''juRkers." In the sum-
mer of 1875 he was summoned by the
king to form new cabinet, and the
composition of his ministry indicat>
ed at once his reactionary purposes
and his intention to give the people
little voice IN the government. He
has failed, however, to keep his party
predominant in the country. The OPP
position party, which when he took
office was an insignificant minority,
has gained all the seats in the folke-
thing except half dozen, which are
still in the possession of Premier Est
rup's supporters. That he does not
resign, and that King Christian TX
persistently refuses to call another
cabinet, is owing chiefly to the lnherS
tied instincts of the wealthy and arts
tocratic class to which the premier be-
longs, and which looks with contempt
upon the peasantry and working
GLASSES. Premier Estrup is noted for
his stfonEanA Stubborn will. IL has
become the settled 9sspose of hialiisss
never to. surrender. Il possible, and
through his determinations he came
very near losing his life last Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Berg, president of the tower
house, and the most prominent lead-
er of the democratic party, is by edu-
cation a school teacher. and sprang
from the common people. When be
entered parliament, about twelve
years ago, his opponents looked up
on him as harmless. In the course of
time, however, he attracted general
attention as an obstructionist and al
though the conservatives for a while
endeavored to neutralize his efforts
by ridicule, it soon became evident
that he possessed the qualities of q
formidable opponent. At present he
is the most popular man in Denmark,
and the maj ority of the people desire
to see him appointed premier in place
of the, obnoxious Estrup. The govern
meut succeeded recently in passing
a sentence of six months imprison-
ment upon him for pushing a police
official off the platform at political
meeting, and this extraordinary pun
ishment has naturally increased the
popular feeling in his behalf and aug
mented the detestation in which the
government is held
Theodore Rasmussen, the young
Dane, who, stimulated by the wide
spread animosIty toward the premier,
attempted to assassinate him, does
not possess much of a political record.
A printer by trade, he had an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
socialistic agitation while working In
the printing Office of the leading sec
ialistic papers in Copenhagen. The
emotional feeling is very marked and
his nature, and political fanaticism
drove him forward as the would-be
avenger of an outraged nation.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
A Vessel Motive Power of Which f.
to be Conclusion.

veS9el OLIVe ROVER OIL Men Is
to be COneussiOn.
The low black hull of a 100 fo:t
boat, on the ways at Poillon's Ship
building yard in Brooklyn, is the first
thing that strikes the eye of a strang
err entering the gates. This is the ,bpats
whose motive power is tesessate q
revolutionin nayais pfopaision. She
has bseRsa Designed by Mr. Townsend,
-f01Slnan of the yard, and will be
launched in three weeks. A little 10
Horsepower engine has been built in
Pittsburg and finished in Jersey City
from the designs of Sam Secor, son of
the man who built the original Fulton
engines. This will be placed in her
hull and used to compress air, 500
pounds in the square inch. which will
then be stored in a vessel similar to
those used in soda water fountains.
1t will then be mixed with vaporized
crude petroleum, which forms an ex-
plosive to be fred by an electric spark
through cylinders leading to holes in
the side of the vessel. This causes
powerful conclusion on the water
and gives the motive power.
There are two holes on either side, IL
feet from the stern, which run almost
parallel with the SIDES. These are used
for forward propulsion. Two more,
nine feet further forward, at right an
giles with the sides, will stop the boat
by simultaneous discharge or turn
her by single discharge. By expert
mems already tried it has been demon
strated that rs explosions minute can
be obtained, each enc with force
enough to blow an ordinary hagstone
so or 80 feet.
The boat has been built for S. Secor
& Sons, who furnished the necessary
SIS, 600 to carry out the plans. A stock
company with a capital of $40, 600, 900
has been formed, and should the ex-
pertinent prove a success 10 acres of
ground on the water front will be
bought, buildings pat up, and the
business of building these vessels be-
gun on large scale. 1t is said that
any kind of vessel aaoat, either sailing
or stream, can be altered in a very
short time and the necessary engines
put in. Patents in this and in every
country of importance have been
issued fully covering all the points of
the invention.
The boat when launched will be rig
ged as schooner and the trial will
then take place.
