WHEN such lawlessness takes
place as in Cleveland, Ohio, the
law should step id and see that all
rioters are arrested and punished.
The police thus tar have not been
able to preserve order. They have
not shown the same efficiency the
New York police did in the recent
riot in Brooklyn. A good police force
is better than a standing army.
Wilmington has force that would
stand no nonsense in case Of a riot.

Montevideo, July PA jury has for
the second time acquitted Avolino Ar

THE best thing the last Legsla-

money into Delaware than any 9TH
err law passed by any preceding
Legislature. The Incorporation
act has brought thousands upon
thousands Of dollars into tine State
Treasury at Trenton, y. j., and
has made the State rich. Without
this revenue the State would have
been poor indeed, and numerous
State improvements would not have
been possible without doubling the

REVENUE Collector BENJAMIN F.

REVENUE Collector Benjamin F.
Parlett, of Baltimore, Md, should
be shown that it is not good politics
to send a Maryland revenue officer
into Delaware to take the place of
George S. Knight, removed. The
Federal appointments are not so
numerous that competent Delawa-
reans cannot be found to fill them.
In Pennsylvania and in the South,
Civil Service did not interfere with
the Revenue Collectors in removing
Democrats and appointing Repub-
licans in their places. And it would
not interfere IN the Maryland Dis
trict if Collector Parlett had the
backbone to fill the position made
vacant by the removal of Liquor
Gauger Knight. Where there is a
will, there is always way, and
the Republican party would not
suffer any in this appointment out
side of Civil Service. Some people
think the next Administration will
not be so particular about comply
ing with Civil Service rules. At
any rate, its rigid enforcement is
not going to get the Republican
party any new votes, but will drive
hundreds of votes away from it.

The Malay believes in witches and
witchcraft. There is the bottle imp, the

blood till the time comes for it to take
a horrid thing the Penangalan, which
possesses women. Frequently it leaves
its rightful abode to fly away at night
to feed on blood, taking the form of
the head and intestines of the person it
inhabited. in which shape it wanders
around.
Such beliefs may perhaps have their
origin OF metempScychoSlS, when III olh-

common people. For instance. elephants
and tigers are believed sometimes to be
