FRUITS OF THE ELECTION.

The election in Delaware Tuesday week
was great victory for the Democrats of
the State. The goyernorship the main
office at issue, is retained by the party of
the people, and Delaware sends Demo-
crat to represent her in the House of Rep
resentatiyes at Washington.
Further than this the definite result is
triiie obscured until the reports of the
board of canvass is made. II is not prob
able, however, that either the figures of
New Castle or Sussex as returned by the
election officers will be changed by the
board Of canvass of either of those coun-
ties. The opinions of prominent attor-
news of both political parties given else
where practically decides that the BOARDS

II is probable, therefore, that the returns
will stand as they are, and the decision of
the ballot boxes Tuesday week, whetherthey
be just or not, will stand.

Two colored men are at the police
station, having been arrested on sus-
picion of knowing something about the
burding of Settlers barn ON Saturday
night. Both men had worked for Mr..
SETTER, but left him last Saturday. Mr..
Settler himself caught one Of them on
the street in this city yesterday. As
soon as arrested he said: "Mr. Settler,
did not burn your barn, but l know
who did" The other was arrested about
midnight, last night.

Although the du Fonts may deny that
there is conspiracy, large or small, to
injure them by burning their barns, the
tenants of their farms firmly believe
that such is the case, and that more fires
will follow. No other reason can be
given than has been given before-that
some of the useless and unnecessary
employees Of T. l. du Pont q Co., that
were discharged after General Henry
du Points death, are taking dastardly
revenge by firing the barns of the firm
or its members. Either these persons
or their sympathizers are doubtless the
incendiaries. The du Points are reticent
regarding the matter, but there is no
denyins that they are more anxious than
Is admitted.

Natures StimuIants.

Emerson, remembering the habits Of
conviviality to which some undergradu-
ates succumb, once said:
"Did you ever think about the logic of
stimulus? Nature supplies her own. 1t
is astonishing what she will do if you
will give her chance. In how short a
time will she revive the overtired brain!
A breath under the apple tree, siesta
on the grass, Whit of wind, an inter-
val of retirement, and the balance and
serenity are restored. A clean creature
needs so little and responds so readily.
There is something as miraculous as the
gospels in it.
Later in life society becomes stim-
ulus. Occasionally the gentle excitation
of cup of tea is needed. A mind in
vents its own tonics, by which, without
permanent injuries, it makes rapid raj
lies and enjoys good moods.
Conversation is an excitant, and the
series of intoxicants it excites is health
full. But tobacco-what rude crowbar
is that with which to pry into the deli
cate tissues of the brainw
1t must not be inferred from this pas
sage that Emerson himself was a total
abstainer from tobacco, though he
smoked but rarely, but never until he
was Pittsburg Dispatch.

The financial sky is blacker than it has
ever been since the fateful days OF 1878.
Banks are breaking, factories are closing
down and business enterprises coming
to standstill. The crisis has been Dire
largely to blundering legisl, on. Cen
gress has the power to undo much. OF
the mischief it has wrought, but Grand
ma Hoar is dandling his misshapen force
bill infant so intently that he has no
eyes for anything else. The force bill
has been crowded to the front of
the senate, and no measure for
the relief of the business dis
tress can be considered while it is in the
way. Senator Plumb, restive under the
progress of his party to the dogs, with
the prosperity of the country trailing
after it, threatens to rebel. He intimates
his intention, unless something be done
very shortly, to move to lay the force
bill aside and take up the measures
affecting the business situation. His
measures might make the COM
mercial crisis more acute than
it is, but at least he shows
some conception of the actual state Of
things, and none of his colleagues seem
able to do that much. We had politics
in the last session of congress until the
country rose in revolt. Speaker Reed
crammed politics down the national
throat. The result of the election may
not have any lessons for him or for the
little man in the White House, but it
should have some effect in the
senate. With the leading Re-
publican journals OF the west
denouncing the force bill, with vicious
pension legislation, visibly bankrupting
the treasury, and with widespread busi-
ness ruin calling for some sensible fnan-
cial policy, the persistence of the ma
iority of the senate in refusing to touch
anything but schemes of small partisan
trckery, looks like the madness that
goes before distinctions F. News

Warping of Wood.

AS lumber is now sawn, every board
but one will warp and curl up in the
process of seasoning The reason for
this is plain. If the board be sawn from
the side of the log the grain rings of the
wood lie in circles, which have greater
length on one than upon the other side
of the board. A board cut from the very
center of the log has grain circles of
equal length upon each side. and will lie
perfectly fat when seasoned.
When selecting the lumber for tool
chest or some other fine job, pick out
boards that show they came as near as
possible from the center of the log. A
method is in use which compensates for
this tendency to curl in seasoning. This
is known as quarter saving, and quar-
tered oak, of which so much is said at
present, is sawn by this process.
1t consists of cutting out boards radial-
ly from the center to the outside of the
log. Suppose a log to be split into four
pieces, each of these pieces is sawn dag
onally, SO that the grain rings run
through, instead Of the circles running
into it, part way through and out, upon
the same side of the board. Wood

tough, yet natures image in the most
of them is not eterne. The lion fails to
exterminate the lesser forms of life in
his native haunts, and if he did, that ex-
termination would be his own death
knell; for he would have no further sus-
tenance. The same reasoning with
the same facts to base it on
will be found true all down the long
line of remarkably healthy and
aggressive predaceous life. Indeed all
animal life is predaceous, but the eater
OF any sort must leave something to eat,
or he will starve tomorrow. Nature
never errs in her philosophy, but pro-
vides means Of maintaining an equilib-
rum in all things.
These facts are no excuse for lack OF
industry and care on the part of man.
On the contrary, they urge us to a
course OF energetic warfare on insects
and animals destructive of our
higher interests. If nature pro-
vided no remedy for these ills
we might clasp our hands in de-
spair; but as the remedies are ready
made to our hands, we should be en-
couraged to seek them out and apply
them. There is no occasion for despair.
There is no i'll of natures making that
there is not remedy for. Modern sci
ence is discovering this fact, and in time
we shall be as able to exterminate all
the predaceous insect pests that endan-
ger our grain and fruit crops, as we have
been to extirpate the wolves that used
to prey upon our hog-pens and calf pad
docks.

A NEW METAL.

Since modern chemistry revealed the
fact that every bank OF clay contained
metal with such qualities as aluminium
possesses, there has been much expert
ment to discover some process by which
it could be extracted at low, or even
moderate cost. For time it cost as
much as silver, and until very recently
so much more than iron that it could
not be made profitably available in the
mechanical arts. But recently chemist
in Chicago announced that he had dis
covered a process by which the metal
may be produced at cost OF II cents
per pound, and within few days a
lawyer named 2. A. Emanuel of Colum-
bus, South Carolina, has set up the
claim that he can produce the new
metal at $3.50 per ton, or 121a cents per
pound. Atthese rates there is no doubt
that the metal will take the place OF
iron and copper in many branches of the
mechanical arts. Aluminium is metal
of nearly the lustre of silver. 1t will
not tarnish in the atmosphere more
than silver. 1t is about twice the
specific gravity of hard oak wood,
so that it will nearly float on
the surface OF water. 1t is more ductile
than copper, and as malleable as the
very best iron. Its strength in resisting
a break transversely or longitudinally is
almost as great as steel. Made into wagon
wheels, for example, very small bars
would be sufficient to resist any weight
usually put on them, while it
would be only about one-tenth as heavy
as the wooden wheels now in use. For
railroad carwheels it would be most ex-
cellent. Its low degree OF friction when
turning in contact with another metal
is another valuable property of the
metal. If it be true that aluminium can
be produced at 121a cents pound, there
will be great development in its use.
The San Francisco Examiner and Chron-
ice are, of course, away off when in
commenting on these facts, they interpret
the telegram containing the news to
mean that the process of the South Car
Dina lawyer would produce the metal
at cost of $3.50 per ton, at less than
one-fifth the cost OF iron.
