he Is In the cavalry, he must have . horse
which will take river as easily a. hun

are part Of the regular drill there. Col.
lapsible canvas boats, manned by o few
oarsmen, lead the horses SO that they do
not attempt to land on stone quays and
other difficult points. The men swim
across with their horses and on them.
They do it in swimming costume and in
all the accouterments Of war. There are
few nautical emergencies for which the
Dutch army is not prepared. Some Of the
officers have even reached such degree of
proficiency that not only their horses and
kits cross the river with them, but their
pet dogs sit upon their shoulders and are
borne over, almost without wetting.-

Buy the REPUBLICAN for the
country public sales, you will not
find them in any other Wilmington
paper. The farmers know where
their sales will be seen, hence the
use of these columns to reach the
buyers. Merchants as we'll, will
find it to their advantage to use the
columns of the REPUBLICAN. 1t
costs little more to give your bust
ness alarge circulation than small
one and you reap your reward by
the increased number of buyers.

Blankets on the Outer Walls.

Probably in no other civilized city OF
the world do people air their bedding and
table linen out Of the front windows as
they do in Chicago. Not 80 much is this
barbarous custom practiced In the resi-
dence part Of tho city as it Is down town,
and tho nearer to the center of the city one
gets the more bedding he sees hanging
from the windows. Along Wabash avenue,
beginning at Harrison street, blankets,
sheets, bedquilts pillows and even tho
mattresses are hung out, held securely to
the window sill by having the sash pulled
down hard on top Of them.-Chicago

Big Honey in the Insurance Business.

According to the report of Ed
ward Fowler, Insurance Commits
sioner for Delaware, the insurance
has been most remunerative in
Delaware during the past year.
Every insurance company doing
business in Delaware is required
to take out a State license. He says
the year 1897, as compared with
former years, seems to have been a
propitious one to fire insurance
companies doing business in the
State, showing an average of losses
to premiums of only y $40, which
he believes is the smallest ratio of
losses to premiums that has occur
red since the establishment of the
department. During the year 1897
companies Incorporated by this
State collected premiums in the
State to the amount of $95, 15S. IS
and incurred losses to the amount
of $50, 47226 and other states and
foreign countries having authority
to transact business in this state
received premiums amounting to
4l99, 1885, As and mourning losses to
the amount of $44,754.15, showing
the total premium receipts for the
year to have been 1924, S44. 70; total
losses incurred $S1, 226.41 and as
aforesaid an average Of losses of
n $40. Owing to some of the com
panies incorporated by this Sla,e
not yet having rendered their report :
It is impossible to know their totals
for 1898.
To show what the industrial in
surance companies are doing who
collect their premiums weekly in
sums as small as five cents from an
individual, we give the following:
There were in force in this State at
the close of the year 1896, industrial
policies amounting to IS, 09l, $50 and
on December 81, 1898. policies to the
amount of s5,339,O55 showing an
increase during the year of $S47, 179
while the close of the year 1898.
showed the total amount of said
policies in force in the State to be
$6,399,9 ga, an increase of $3.50, 919
over the year 1897. This form of
insurance enables the labor classes
to procure insurance in easy and
convenient payments and the COM
panies doing this line of insurance
are among the most solvent and
trustworthy in the country, afford
ing protection to those who other
wise could not or would not make
the payments on an ordinary life
policy.
From the above extracts taken
from the superintendent yearly
report, it will be seen that the insur-
ance has been fairly profitable in
Delaware.

THE barest possibility that the
Senatorship may be leftvacant once
more by the Republican majority
in the present Legislature, will
work untold injury to the Republi-
can party in this State. We would
have every Republican member of
the Legislature do what he consid-
ers best for the party success in
this State and what will also reflect
credit upon it. The blunder of four
years ago should not be repeated
this year. Such laundering has
given us free silver Democrat in
the United States Senate when his
place should have been filled by
Republican and the election Of
Republican Senator this year would
have given Delaware two good Re
publican Senators. If the Senator
ship is left vacant this year. we are
afraid the opportunity to elect SEN
ator Kenney' 5 successor, two years
hence, will not be given the Repub-
licans. 1t will mean the defeat of
the whole Republican ticket, from
the mayor down. in this city. The
present attitude Of the Republicans
reminds us one one Of Josh Billings
sayings: "A man dug a well and
attel. he struck water he kent on
digging. to find out vi here the water
came from and dug il so deep that
the well caved in and flied up and
he was nut to the rynensc Of d;o-
