purchased The EVENING JOURNAL,
which has all along advocated this step
and originated the idea, now publishes
some views Of ,well.posted citizens that
will corroborate all previous statements.
Ex-Chief E. A Robinson o. the vii
mington Fire Depsrtment-"New Csstle
ought to have q chemical engine. Il Is
the best fire protection for any town that
Is now known"
Captain A. n Hisir-"I think q
chemical engine would be just the thing
for New Castle. as a toWn like this Is
troubled altogether with small hres IL
the cost would not be too great, / shouid
be heartily In favor OF the improve
ment"
Councilman L E. Eliason-'T am
heartily in favor Of a chemical engine
and believe that such an Improvement
to our Ere apparatus would materially
reduce the rates OF Insurance, thus
greatly relieving the Taxpayers"
O. H. Clewell-"It seems to be that
such fire protection is decldedlyldesira6le,
as in Winter, when our freplugs are
frozen, there is a general state OF unessi-
ness. And then, from what / can under
stand, it saves property from being
flooded"
City Councilman Fagsn-"Fhe cheml .
cal would be a good thing, but rather
favor better equippng the apparatus that
we already have Iwant 20 see pair o'
horses purchased They could be bought
for about $500.
Fireman McFadden. OF Wilmlngton-
THE more We use the chemical engine
the better we like her. She saves time
property and loss from flooding adjoining

Rev Besttie Wylie-''As l under

readiness and could be drawn to fire bl
active fremen while they vera getting
horses In hArness Aud then under

takes some time to get up q sufficient
pressure OF steam In the large hf'

KaiuIani rumors have been spread
ing about the city at great rate of late
and statements increase in their positive
character as they have passed from
mouth to mouth among the Opposition
The rumors are so thoroughly devoid of
official foundation that we will not at
tempt TO refute them, except TO notify
the active rumorologists, whose de-
sfres are possibly father to their
thoughts, that any person or collection
of persons, of this country or any other
country who make an attempt to create
a change in the present order of affairs
will be obliged to face 1000 or more

The electric weed killer is one of the
latest productions of electrical genius.
The machine has been put through the
experimental test by the Illinois Cen
trail railroad and has proved effective
though rather expensive. The appar-
atus consists of wire brush about ten
feet long and four inches wide, sus-
pended by a frame from the end of a
fiat car on which is placed a dynamo,
the necessary transformers and other
electrical equipment. Steam is fur
nished from the locomotive to operate
the dynamo. The brush, charged with
electricity, is moved slowly along in
contact with the vegetation, the theory
being that the current will leave the
brush, enter the plants and by destroy
ing their cellular tissue destroy their
vitality. In the experiments made the
plants with which the electric brush
came in contact were found to be dried
up and quite dead the following, day

what young men with plenty of energy,

them no complaints as to the impossi-
biIity for white men to work under the
"hot sun of the tropics" They have

is every prospect that they will meet

CANADIAN VIEW OF AMERICAN
POi1T FIGS.

In a recent issue of the Victoria Colo
mist the editor gives a review of the
political situation in the United States.
The article is of particular interest,
since its author is by no means neo-
phyte in politics, and he views the
struggle in the United States from a
non-partisan standpoint. He is a thor
ough-going Canadian, but is neverthe-
less in close touch with the sentiment
of the people across the line.
He starts off with the statement that
the talk of the silver party gaining the
day is by no means mere brag," and
unless the sentiment changes to a great
extent, Bryan's chances of success are
far from being merely fanciful. He
notes that the New York Sun comedies
to Bryan 166 electoral votes, while the
Times comedies 176. 1t requires 224
electoral votes to elect the President,
ard according to the concession of the
Times Bryan has only to obtain 4S
votes to gain the day. The Colon1st
editor speaks of New York, Maryland
and Maine as possibly silver States; but
in this instance he seems to be reckon
ing a little wide of the mark. However,
should the Democratic managers sue
coed in swelling the silver tide in In
diana, Illinois and California, the cleo
toral votes of these States, together
with those west of the Mississippi and
South of the Mason-Dixon line, they
would seat Bryan as President by a
good healthy majority.
After making his calculations, the
editor proceeds: "The reader sees from
this that greater wonders have happen
ed in the political world than that the
November next. The calculations of the
New York Sun and the New York
Times may be all astray, and the silver
men may be building castles In the air,
for there may be elements in the presi-
Dental contest of the existence of which
they are all entirely ignorant. But there
is always this to be considered, that
there is a probability that the changes
which may take place between today
and the Sd of November may be in favor
rather than against the Populist cause.
In any case it is not wise to regard the
predictions of the advocates of free sill
yer as absurd. We have seen that, ac-
cording to the admissions of their
strongest opponents, they have a solid
foundation on which to build their cal
culations and hopes.
There are those who may consider it
impolitic in the Times, the Sun and
other advocates of sound money and
good government to admit that there is
a chance of Bryan being elected. But
there are many more who do not believe
it to be good policy to be continually
laughing at the calculations and pre-
dictions of opponents. They consider
that it is far wiser to look the situation
fairly in the face, and to give the other
side full credit for the strength they
are known to possess. Much more
harm, they think comes of undertaking
the strength of political opponents than
of overestimating il. 1t is most import
ant that advocates of sound money and
rational government in the United |
