A PARTY WITHOUT A POLICY.

Milford News. Rep.
Tue Democrats Of Delaware, or ct least
the anti-Sslisbury Democrats, have passed
the Watchword harmony down the
line. 1t is all very we'll for them to talk
of harmony, for occasionally preaching
does some good, but it remains to he
seen il peaceful practices are to prevail
in the party. Can the bitterness and
uudying hate engendered and fostered in
the Democratic party last year be for
gotten, or forgiven II seems not. Peace
might be possible we're any great princi.
pie st stake; but there is not. The Dem.
ocrats of Delaware have no policy or
principle in their State government. The
greed of office Is their controlling politj-
ca incentive and pride, and for the sake
Of the public offices they will make a
desperate effort to recover next year.
With Democrats office 10 paramount; with
Republicans it is secondary, and ahupdred
reforms not possible under Democracy
aod TIE old constitution are primary
motives. With the Democracy OF Dsls.
ware their discords are of personal
/ nature 1t does not seem possible that
all their personalities and ambitions can

Delaware Democrat, Dem.
There must he harmony in our ranks If
we would hope to succeed next year.
There must be union Of all Democrats
IL the Republicans, made more Unsuitable
by the power they now have, are to be
beaten back and the corrupt use Of
money is not again allowed the influence
it possessed at the last election. We are
glad, therefore, that this move has been
made BY the Democrats of New Castle
and believe the time is most opportune
for its success. The Republicans, Of
course, attempt to throw cold water upon
the whole thing by ridieuling it, but
their efforts will be in vain. Their own
divisions are sufficient to give them en-
ployment aud the Encouragement of their
forces under their own commander, Hig
eius, will exercise all their ingenuity.

AN INGENIOUS THEORY.

AN kkA kfOkSXs
 It has been argued that. contrary to the general opinion, forests do not increase rain- fall, but MT. Gsnnett, geographer of the United States coast survey, goes further and forcibly contends that instead of maintaining the existing woodlands or extending their area it would be a wiser policy, so far as concerns the prevention of drouths and the supply of water to the lands where it is now deficient, to cut off the forests, especially those upon the mountains, believing that this would in- crease the natural flow of the streams, giving them larger volume, in the spring months especially, and make productive a larger area of the region now arid. MT. Gannett admits that woodlands to some extent, in common with other forms of vegetation, make the How of streams more uniform by retaining a portion of the rainfall in the soil loosened by their roots and in the fallen leaves and other decaying vegetable matter deposited and held in place by trees and undergrowth; that they prevent the rocks from being laid bare by the washing of the soil, and thus in some meas- ure make freshets less frequent and disas- trous and the flow of streams more continu- oHs in dry times. But he insists that the moisture thus retained is wasted, since it is dissipated in the atmosphere by the great evaporation from the leaves of trees, instead of going where it is needed to irrigate the plains and valleys below.
 This is ingenious, but, as we pointed out the other day, the facts. so far as they have been collected, are against this theory. The careful observations made from over seven hundred rain gauge stations throughout Bo- hemia, a country particularly we'll situated for such observations, indicate that the rain fall is materially increased by forests. Still. Mir. Gannett's theory will furnish the scien- ti6c gentlemen a topic for discussion.

 From Detroit Free Press "Speaking about tramps who beat the rail- roads," said Detroit freight conductor the other day, "but had pretty interesting ad- venture last fall. was coming in on frieght on the Michigan Central, and we were at Dear born at 10 o'clock. Just before we were ready to pull out @ tramp came along and said

 "'Let's see the crowd.'
 "'He whistled, and twenty-seven hard looking tramps came out from fence corners.

 "'But, captain, do you realize the situa- tionP
 "'I think do." s.sPerhaps you don't. Our business is inn portant and we must get into the city, "He whistled, and the men strung out along the train, from the engine to the cs- boose.

The number of 'tcluh rooms, {" that is, places where patrons were admitted by keys and where there were vari- ous devices to avoid publicity, has diminish ed since the first year of prohibition, their places being taken by the open saloon, where no attempt is made at disguise, and where everything but the lettsred signs invites cus- tom.
 When the assembly chamber at the Albany capital is done it will be done. When the costly carved stone ceiling was taken down to prevent it's falling down, the public was told that 6 carved oak ceiling would be substituted for it. When the contract for the work was given out, it called for ceiling of oak ''or papier maehe." Now Q correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle writes from Albany that the contractors have used neither the one mater ial nor the other, "but common plaster of paris, poured into wooden mold to the depth of half an inch, then backed with coarse burlaps or jute bagging, and this in turn covered with half an inch more of the plaster" He adds that the plaster isn't even a good plaster, but faky and erumbly, and that in months time it will be coming down like dry snow on the heads of the legislators The contractors deny that there is anything amiss with their work, and there is to be an investigation.
