The real tendency at present is to the
greater missing together of separate por-
tions of capital owned by many capitalists,
small, great and of moderate dimensions;
TO the concentration of capital GER
tainly, but not to its concentration in sin
gle hands, to the union of capital for a
common purpose while still separately
owned. The tendency is to the creation OF
companies and unions of companies, to
the transformation of the larger businesses
into companies with larger capital, the
original owner retaining large portion OF
the shares, and possibly large influence
in the management, if the business is in 4
sound condition. The tendency is also to
give business ability without capital
chances of becoming rich through the
management of such large concerns, and
greatly to increase the number of directors
of industry who, without being large CAPT
talists. may in time become considerable
capitalists.
The tendency to the concentration Of
capital, then, does exist as q fact, and so
cialism might conceivably come as the enc
of the tendency; only it will not come n
the result of its concentration in the hands
If few mammoth millionaires, for tn,
tendency is not toward such in any coun
try save the United States, and even there
the tendency is not marked, or it onl,
shows itself in comparatively few instances

The most noteworthy Of all the instru.
ments designed for the correction of Ewes
offending daughters was the ducking stool,
known as the tumbrel and the trebuchet
A post, across which was n transverse beam
turning on n swivel and with a chair at one
end, was set up on the edge of pond.
Into the chair the woman was chained,
turned toward the water-a muddy or
filthy pond was usually chosen for this
purpose when ayailable-and ducked half
dozen times; or. If the water infiamed
her instead of acting as damper, she was
let down times innumernble, until she was
exhausted and well nigh drowned.
From the frequency with which We find
it mentioned in old local and county histo-
ries, in church wardens' and ehamberlains'
accounts and by the poets Gay. for one,
has a description of the process in his third
pastoral, ''The Shepherds Week , we shall
probably not be wrong in concluding that
Mt one time this institution was kept up all
over the country. In Liverpool, according
to The Gentleman's Magazine for 1903, it
was not formally abolished until 1776.-

Two Maine boys were travelling on foot
through Europe some years ago, when the
cholera was raging in various parts of the
continent, which somewhat alarmed them
and their friends at home. Finally one day
Sam said to Bill, "See here, Bill, this thing
is getting serious. see that people are
dying so fast in Spain that the people are
in panic, and some of the sick, it is said,
have been buried before they were really
dead" Bill was very naturally disturbed,
and the result was solemn compact be-
tween the two that in case either one
were to die of the cholera the other would
keep his body from burial until there
would be no possible chance to doubt that
life was extinct. Now it appears that both
these young men were inveterate lovers of
oyster stew. Nothing in the edible line
would SO stir the pulses Of each, or cause a
glow of animation to light up their eyes,
as mention of the cheerful biyalve.
As itturned out, the young men returned
home in safety, and friend who knew OF
the propensity of each to indulge in the
fragrant stew, in commenting upon the
agreement already referred to, said: 81
think could have suggested an easier way
for either of you to have told whether the
other was dead or not. II one were ap.
parently in this condition it would only
have been necessary for the other to whis.
per softly Oyster stew and if he were not
rs dead as Julius Caesar he would have
opened his eyes and smacked his lipsp'-

There died not losag ago the little 1augh-

the dark river With composite that was
rs pathetic an it was unusual. She was
the second in the family connection to sue
cumb to diphtheria. A few weeks before
she sickened she had known Of the illness
and death of young cousin and play
mate, and though not allowed at the bed
side or funeral had been much impressed,
and had asked questions which showed
that the dismal features Of the last rites
were full Of horror to her.
When she was taken i'll It was carefully
concealed from her that she had diphtheria,
lest she should be frightened. It was
malignant attack, and it ran its course
quickly. The crisis approached and all
hope was abandoned. Her father sat by
her side watching her pale face take on q
grayer pallor that had only one meaning
The little girls eyes were closed, and in her
fathers hand her own nerveless fingers
were held. A tear wrnng from his agony
dropped upon them. The child opened her
eyes wide
"Are you crying, papa" she said, as we'll
as she could speak; lam SO sick?-papa,
am going to dep
The question was earnest, aud the eyes
searched his face for hope, but she saw
there was none. For long minute she
watched him closely. Who shall say what
that look containeda Fear, entreaty, af-
lection, and finally renunciation-for at
length, with a little weary sigh, she turned
away, putting her face toward the wall,
but leaving her hard still fast in his.
"Papa,n she said again, after q brief
silence, and in the tone there was a touch
ing resignation, "sing 'Bye-low,'" which
was nursery lullaby she had never out
grown.
Although choking with grief, the
stricken father complied, and so. holding
his hand, with her face still to the wall and
in her ears the grooming familiar melody,

IT seems 10 be The gonafal settled
opinion Of Democrats that we are 10
have the Lee Neary Wier live county
Commissioner bill foisted upon the
State yet. and that the only change
suggested by Mr.. Bayard and his col
leagues will be the application OF the
bill to all the counties of the State in
stead OF to New Castle alone. We do
not assume that this will be the ulti-
nahum Of that committee. They will
he afraid to so before the people with
law that will override their Expressed
will at the ballot box. They may, until
the next election, hold power in this
manner, but the people jealous OF their
rights will have revenge the first OPP
portunity. The entertainment Of the
party behind district In New Castle
county that at the last election gave
less than $50 majority, is entirely too
ilimsy breastwork to beat back de-
termined people robbed of their rights.
The day has come when political
thefts are looked upon as any other
kind OF thefts, and though the pillory
and post may not be the punishment
for such crimes, the verdict of the bal
lot box by an outraged people will be
as severe. The people have put up
with the plratical theft perpetrated in
1873, that robbed them OF thnir fran
chises and ban!a'upted the County for
seventeen years. The thieves should
know by this time that The same kind
OF highway political robbery will not
be tolerated in 1891. Let these Dem
cratic sinners sitting giggllng, in the
back seats of tho Democratic syna-
gogue, at the havoc live County Cora
missioner bill will make of Republican
Levy Courts, remember that November
1922 is approaching, when the people
will have sweet revenge.
EIr. Bayard saved his party in 1878 by
the infamous assessment laws passed
to which he gave his sanction; lie saved
it in 1899 when ha got Il. J. Reynolds
