RECENT LITERATURE.

Worthington's Illustrated Magazine
for May shows remarkable progress and
growth on the part of this highly enter
tanning periodical. which has already won
for itself an enviable place among the
choicest Magazines Of the day 1t has
been enlarged by sixteen pages in order
to give space for timely contributions z,
aud also that the excellent papers In the
varied departments, which are marked
and very valuable feature Of this peri.
odical, may hereafter be printed in larger
type, corresponding to that in the body
Of the Magazine The intentions Of the
publishers we're very liberal at the start,
but they are proving themselves far bet
ter than their word, and the generous
support Of subscribers and Of the reading
public generally, warrants this increased
expenditure.

rHE announcement that the New Yorl

TIE announcement that the New York
Times is to be Democratic paper is
notable for two reasons; First it is an
important accession to the number Of
papers supporting Democratic principles /;
second, it serves 10 show, in its own
announcement Of the change made by
its own editors, the revolution that has
occurred In the Republican party The
announcement Isl
The Times will be Democratic news
paper For twenty years it has adyo
Gated the principles and policies that
were emphatically approved by the people
IN the Presidential election Of 1892 Un.
der Its present leadership the Democratic
party has advanced those principles TO
the position Of controlling political
forces By its counsel and its criticism The
Times will try to help the party TO main
tain them and broaden their sway.
That is to say, that The Republican
party has abandoned its patriotic princi
pies Of former years and the Democratic
party assumes to carry out the most
sensible and patriotic principles advo
Gated IN the pohtlcs OF To- oay. fartlsansi
Of course will charge that this change i:
made for pecuniary reasons-that con
viction has nothing to do with it, How
ever that may be. the change has oc
CURED and it is notable loss to Republi
csnism, q notable gain for Democracy
We are not disposed TO impugn the
IN otives of men like Charles r. Miller
the accomplished editor who has beer
on The Times since 1875, and Of George
F. Spinney, now the business manager
formerly the managing editor, who hal
been on the paper since 1879. It serves
no good purpose to impugn the motives
OF such INTEL igent and honorable men
and, Of course, it is not generous O.
just to do so.

"Lnrh Rnnner. .

Lord Rooney" is the latest effort at
amusing the populace and it made a
distinctive aud decided hit The
play is one continuous string of
funny situations, tue dialogue is bright
and sparkling and the actors are uni
formly excellent A smoother, prettier
performance OF such a comedy would be
hard indeed, TO imagine
Lord Rooney will be the attraction
for three nights and Wednesday matinee
at the Academy of Music, and is a comedy,
pure and simple, somewhat farcical AT
times with no lines that can be construed
i TO anything like seriousness. The fun
begins when the curtain goes up and does
not cease until it goes down on the
ludicrous hna of the last act.

cHANeEs ARE NEcEssARY.


We are not among those to impugn the
motives or decry the intelligence Of those
who do not believe as we believe Quite
the contrary, we are disposed to believe
the best Of every man till we know to the
contrary. 1t is on this principle that we
have criticised all acts Of the present
Legislature. and It is on this principle
that we shall write now.
We believe the Legislature, in session
now, is above the average In intelligence
industry and in devotion to the interests
of the people. We have commended
their work, in the main. heretofore, and
we sincerely trust that they will not DO
anything hereafter, or fail to do
anything, which shall mar the record
already made. That cannot be 80, how.
ever, II the members fail to appreciate
the significance Of the movement, Of all
classes Of our citizens, to prevent polit-
ical use that Is threatened to be made Of
our Board Of Street aud Sewer Commits
sioners
As constituted now, it is a Republican
board. Il Is feared and charged indeed,
that it Is an Addiclxs board. One mem
Der was placed on the board by the
attorney Of Mr.. Aodicks, another mem
Der was placed there by a man who owed,
SO II is said, his nomination, II not his
electi N, to the money which was gener
ously provided by the oxy hydro specula
tor and politician. Both Of these mayo
were trying TO serve two masters.
1t cannot be beneficial 70 the people, OF
creditable to the Legislature to leave
this board under the political influence
Of the Republicans or the banefal pecu.
MARY influence Of the gas speculator.
The board was created, like the polio,
board, for the purpose Of eliminating
politics. it is likely TO fail as the polio,
board failed. There are the same rea
sons for changing this board that proved
so powerful in changing the other. Tit
necessities for this change, of making
four commissioners and replacing Josepl
L. Carpenter, Jr, requested by thu
largest and most respectable and repre-
sentative delegation Of citizens whicl
ever visited Dover to appeal to the Leg
islature, has not been properly estimates
by the members from Kent and Sussex
The arguments, II comprehended, hsv
not been properly weighed.
The objections, to that change, ar
too trivial 10 influence so many member
II any. We cannot repeat the argu
ments for the charges here. It is no
necessary. They are already known
But we do request the members from tn
lower counties TO consider them in con
nection with the request Of Colone
Moore that the board shall lift under tn
influence Of the Republicans; and tn
request Of Mr.. Ford. that his persona
animosities shall keep Mr.. Carpente
of.
Neither one Of these trivial contention
should have weighed enough to inhu
ence so important an act. No other pub
lie reasons have been mentioned VIII
the board should not have four members
Colonel Moore, for reasons better know
TO himself, wishes three members only
and l-r. Ford does not mix well wit
Mr.. Carpenter.
The members Of the Legislature shoul
find better reasons; they should go u
higher: they are sent to Dover to max
new laws and change old ones.
