PASSING STRANGE.

1t is passing strange that no person
discovered the ridiculous mistakes
made by those who attempted to di-
vide Kenton hundred into two cleo
tion districts and to make Clayton the
voting place for oae and Kenton the
voting place for the other. The errors
are so palpable that they are apparent
at first glance, It was the intention Of
the General Assembly to give the
voters in the northern part OF the hun
dred a voting place at Clayton. This
necessitated a division Of the hundred
into two election districts, with Clay
ton as the voting place for the First,
OF Northern, and Kenton as the vot-
ing place for the Second, or Southern.
And yet we find that Clayton is made
the voting place for the Kenton dis
trict, and Kenten the voting place for
the Clayton district. This is conclu-
awe evidence Of gross carelessness, and
may lead to more trouble than is at
present anticipated. To call the Cen
eral Assembly together to rectlfy the
blnnder would reopen the senatorial
fight. besides entailing a big expense
on the state. and there is no desire to
do either Of these things The acts are
so explicit in their terms that there is
no gainsaying them IL the legal con-
struction that the intent OF a statute
must be found within its four corners.
We sincerely trust that the voters Of
the hundred viii not be put to the Sc
rious inconvenience threatened by
these statutes.

NIAGARA NOW AT IT'S BEST,
The Great Cataract WIZ Lose in
beauty In Five or six Hum
dred Years.

The Niagara river belongs to our own
era Of the worlds interminable history,
and to it alone. We may believe, with
some recent investigators, that it be.
gan to cut its way through the higher
table land about COCO years ago, or we
may say, with others, 10000 years ago.
But even the farther end of $4,000 years
is a geological yesterday; and if it is
true that the falls viii stand well back
of the head of Goat island in 300 or 60e
years, that is very near tomorrow.
Moreover, the finest phase Of Niagara's
life belongs to the geological to-day.
IL is at its very best now that Goat is
land is the central feature Of the falls.
Before they reached it they must have
formed a single undivided and relative
ly narrow cataract or series of cas-
cades; and after its upper end is left
behind there can never again be such
a combination Of diverse majesties and
loveliness. Only for the half mile along
Goat islands side are there divided yet
fraternal channels filed with shining,
shouting rapids. When il has been left
behind, the wide river, flowing over an
almost level bed, win approach its cliff
quite calmly and viii calmly make its
plunge, like a millstream over a dam.
And this forest-clad island, lifted high
and set in a fortunate elbow of the river
bed, gives views which no other farther
up stream can ever afford. 1t separates
and yet unites the cataracts. Now il
puts the eye far above them, and again
it brings them quite close. With the
islets that lie near it, il gives outlool5s
up both streams of rapids and the
placid river beyond them, across the
gorge and down its length, and athwari
the one fall and the other; and most
of these views il entrances in draperie:
of luxuriant green. Truly, the pilgrims
Of later day will not see the Niagara
the marvel that belongs to us.-Mrs

LOOPHoLE FOR KENT0N.
UNDER GENERAL ELECTION LAW
THE VOTING PLACES CAN BE
CHANGED BY INSPECTORS.

Walter H. Hayes calls an Evening
Journal reporters attention to the fol-
lowing provision in the general cleo
tion law, being section 2. of Chapter
SO, part 1, Of volume 21, Laws of Della
ware:
IF at any time it shall be impraeti-
cable to hold the election in any cleo
tion disetrict at the place appointed by
law, the inspector of such election
district or other officer authorized by
law to hold the election therein shall
have power to appoint some other
place in said election district as near
as can be conveniently obtained TO the
place herin directed, and he shall give
public notice OF the place 50 appoint
ed by advertisements posted in at least
five of the most public places of the
election district, if circumstances will
admit of such notice being given, but il
not then he shall give such public and
general notice as the circumstances
will permit"
He expresses the belief that under
this general provision the voters of the
Northern district of Kenton hundred
can have their voting place at Clay
ton. and those of the Southern district
at Kenton.
