1t is not likely that the Baltimore
and Philadelphia Railroad Company
will make much effort to gather up the
wood debris of the span of their bridge
swept away by the flood of Monday
night, as it would cost more than to get
lumber. Any how much Of the lum-
Der is no doubt rolling and tossing
around amongst the waves Of the Della
ware Bay and much more OF it has
found its way into convenient cellars to
be used for kindling wood Speaking
of this matter reminds us Of the trouble
the b. & =. authorities had IN gather
ing up the missing timbers of the
bridge across White Clay Creek, carried
away by freshet in December. The
timbers had been caught and lodged in
various places along White Clay Creek
and the Christiana, aud when the proper
time came team was sent 10 bring
back the property. At the same tim t
polite note was sent TO the person own
ing the property where the timbers had
lodged, to let the bearer have the lum
Der and for them TO send in their bill
for the trouble and expense they wer'
at in saving the floating timber. |,
most of the cases the property was de
livered up without word, some even
making no charge for their trouble
Others sent in bills, while there wer'
some who indignantly refused to de
liver up the property, claiming it a
their own because they had saved /,

is very natural and very customar

at the same time without calling

that cannot be justified either in law d,

ONLY seventeen more legislative
days remain for the present slow mo
toned, dilatory Congress. The Demo
cratic members who compose majority
have been too busy making Presidents
and looking after the loaves and fishes
to attend to the legitimate needs of the
nation. Many of the most important
appropriation bills are still unconsider-
ed, and II the members of the House
work faithfully from now until the lib
of March, the items that enter into the
appropriations cannot properly be dis
cussed and understood. In this man.
ner the public service is made to suffer
proportionately that the Democrats
may be permitted to look after their
own political interests, as well as those
of their friends Another Congress
like the present will give the people OF
the nation more than an elegant suffi-
cheney of Bourbon rule, and legislative
methods.
