TWO Focentrio uouses.
washington Letter.


Apropos to houses and people, the houses
of Col John Hay and Mr. harles Adams
are free at last from scaffolding, and
stand revealed in all their eccentricity
The first is pile only that and moth
ing more" pile of bricks heaped to
gether until they look like an architectural
nightmare The latter is low browed
house, with white coping hung SO heavily
near the tops Of entrance and window as
to give it the effect of frowning sternly
at the passer-by. Its gargoyles are fright
ful-a lion masque, such as Punch might
have drawn after 1.-THE Soudan; crab as
large as a turtle, with realistic shell
and claws; an imp so ugly that its at
tempt to swallow itself ought to be en-
couraged a pelican with outstretched
wings and complacent smile; and caves
decorations that would make Burne-
Jones weep with delight
The souls Of the houses, though, are
really pictures, statues, books,
tapestries, rugs, draperies. bronzes, mo-
saics-all sorts of gleanings from worlds
where artists and poets interpret life for
the multitude, aud where money is trans.
muted from the cost of labor into the
price of happiness.

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRTGTTY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts OF inventors have
been directed 10 construct lamp for general
domestic use The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in itself, l. e., in the foot of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches Of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas * cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree Of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
OF gas, il the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu
able 1t is further preferable TO any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can Laat, Il IN ordar

The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-11-27

A WRITER in the american, a good
Republican paper, viewing Delaware
through short sighted glasses, speaks
as though this State was Il little an
tediluvian. He also finds fault with
the Democratic rule.
There is not now, and for some
years has not been any member of
the Legislature of Delaware opposed
to the Democratic party. Except
one judge, there is no officer of the
State Government, Of any rank or
sort, who is not a Democrat. There
is no office of the county system
unless, to speak very strictly, we
should except inspectors represent
ing the minority at elections-who
is not Democrat The governor
and his appointees, (who include, in
Delaware, the Judiciary, many of
the county officers, and all justices
of the peace, are all Democrats but
one-the judge already mentioned
The elective county officers are all
Democrats, and all the minor Off
cials whom they create-the trustees
of the poor, the constables, the col
lectors of taxes, the treasurers, are
Democrats
If the State was Republican all
these officers would be good fellows
and little Delaware would blossom
as the rose, but she is not, you know,
and is as barren of good results as
blighted fig tree.
There is blank and barren uni
formity. Perhaps it may be thought
that the people of Delaware are po-
litically unanimous. Nothing could
be much farther from the truth. A
majority of the male citizens Of Del
aware, q years of age or upwards,
are not Democrats, but would prefer
revolution of tho present political
arrangement. On fair count of
the male adults of the state the Dem
ocrats would be in a minority. Non
is the intelligence Of the state or its
business interests, or any other ele
ment entitled to Il high degree q
consideration, entirely, or even by ;
decisive majority, on the Democratic
side"
The above excerpt is piling it on
strong. "A majority of the male cit
zens of Delaware, q years of age o
upwards, are not Democrats" Itlook
from the last election, that a larg
majority of male citizens are Dem
ocrats." Ifthey are not Democrat
why did they vote for the Demo
cratic nominees? Nor is the intelli
gence of the State" and SO on, eel

HERETOFORE we have remained
silent i'll the matter of widening or
Strengthening the main street in this
town. The spectacle presented at
the East End in consequence of this
is far from encouraging to property
owners, as well as tenants. How
ever the work has been done, and it
is useless to argue the point further
in that direction. But there seems
to be good reasons why the same
needless expenditure of money
should be repeated at the West End.
The street has served every purpose
of travel for many years past, and
from present observations there
seems little reason why it should not
remain exactly as it is. Let the at
tention Of the Commissioners be di-
\ fected to improvements that are far
more needed, and which if done
would lend greater attraction to the
town. We have new streets or aven-
ues, both north and south of the
town, that need improvements. In
stead of destroying shade trees, that
our already acknowledgements
main street might be widened or
Strengthened, would it not be better
wisdom on the part of our town
Fathers to put down pavements on
our newly opened avenues and
streets ? Delaware avenue is al
ready being rapidly built up with
substantial dwellings, and in more
than one instance, decided architec-
tural skill has been displayed. Here
is chance for the Commissioners
to expend a liberal amount of money.
And again, we would point to Cleve-
land avenue on the north side of the
town. What encouragement have
the builders or the residents of this
avenue received? Practically
little of mention. And yet, with
all this chance open the Commission
ers seem loath to take their depart.
ure from the main street. OF course
the main street needs improving, but
it should not be done to the neglect
of new streets or avenues. There i.
but little doubt that this editorial
will call down upon our heads some
criticism from those to whom it il
directed, yet we feel that we are do
ing only what is our privilege, and
at the same time advocating i'm
