The superior court 81 Delaware, in
and for Sussex county, has decided that
the owner Of a vicious dog IL financially
responsible for the damage that the
evilly- disposed canine may inflict upon
the general public. This is a judicial
deliycrance in which adocided majority
Of the people will cordially acquiesce.

That interesting and curious person,
Foraker, says the New York Times, has
great fondness for "snub issues"
whether he appears as the snubber or
snubbed. Once his "claimn was that
President Of the United States had
snubbed him. Now it is that he has
snubbed a President Of the United
States. 1t appears that Foraker took
umhrage at something that was said by
a previous speaker at the league con
vention, and he vented his spite in say
ing that Blaine was q great statesman
and had given US a splendid admins
trationn Foraker's temper seems to
have run away with his Judgment.
Something is always running away
with his Judgment and secreting it. If
Blaine, per Harrison, has given US u
splendid administration, it seems that
the way to get another is to re-elect
Harrison, that he may again submit
to Blaine. AT any rate, the Secretary of
State must shuddor when he thinks that
lie may have incurred the support of
Foraker. The enmity of the statesman
is of no consequence, but his friendship
has invariably proved fatal to its objects.

Commenting upon the section Of the
Mckinley Tariff bill that fixes the duty
on oatmeal, the New York Times says;
"The new tariff doubled the old duty
on oatmeal, which was one-half Of a
cent pound, or about 20 per cent The
domestic manufacturers had not been
harassed by competition from abroad,
for the valu, Of oatmeal imported last
year was loss than 100000. Now that
they have procured a higher duty they
have made combination in order that
they may take full advantage of the
new rate Here is another case for Mr..
John Sherman, and he will not have to
go out of his own state or out Of the
circle of his acquaintance to find seve-
raj Of these deadly enemies of the pro-
tective policy who laugh at his So
called antitrust law"

the day with Tucker and was supposed
TO have been with Tucker and the man
called Harry at the time of the assault.

ing. at which the secretary was in
Etrncted 10 ask the engineer of the
Baltimore IL Ohio Railroad Company
what progress is being made toward
building the overhead bridge at the
Lancaster avenue crossing.
1t was decided to grade Greenhill

chief engineer was instructed TO pre-
pare grades.
The commission decided to purchase
q fifteen ton roller, for use on the
streets, from w. Q. Carter, the agent in
New York, for an English firm.
The members have been examining
rollers OF different kinds, and finally
decided upon an English made roller
as being the best as well as the cheap
est. Before accepting the roller, how
ever, the department will require that
the agent selling the roller must put
Il up In this city and test it forten days
and must also guarantee the roller for
one year. The roller will be delivered
In two weeks, and will DO sent over
from Liverpool on one Of the fast
steamers. The roller will not be ac-
eepted unless 1t gives satisfaction on
the streets of the city.
The meeting then adjourned until
$50 o'clock this evening, when speciii-
eations for street paving will be con-
Eidered.
