THE REPUBLICAN has political
opinions as well asopinions on other
matters, but its editor does not think
il is policy to try TO stir up turmoil
and strife and divide the party and
help the Democrats secure political
control Of the city's municipal af-
fairs. We have never believed in
carrying water on both shoulders
any more than we have believed in
the manner in which business for
the papers has been secured since
the News has been in business.
Now if honest conviction means to
help rend the Republican party
asunder, neither this paper nor its
editor will have a hand in the mat
ter. The REPUBLICAN stood by the
principles of the Republican party
when it did not have ticket in the
field for the voters to vote for. We
have no axe to grind, friends to re-
ward or enemies to punish. All we
want to see is the Republican party
successful in Delaware and the
State made attractive for outside
capitalists to seek investments with
in our borders and then the State
would grow as it's natural resources
warrant it in doing.

THE outlook for business this

and some of them have orders ahead

II they don't book another new Or

industries all over the country have
been increased five and even in
some instances 10 per cent. But

FROM present indications there
will be two Republican tickets in
the field next June, which will mean
Democratic officials in every city
department When the Republi-
cans of Delaware have victory with
in their grasp. they cannot retain
it for any length of time. 1t has
been SO for years. Republican vot-
ers are becoming disguised and if
they keep their vows, there will be
big falling off in the Republican
vote at the June election. Its pity
that men who think they are the
leaders Of the party cannot see six
inches beyond their noses and make
appointments that will tend to
strengthen the party and not weak
en- it.

A GOLDFISH FARM.
An Indiana Hatchery that Covers
Several Acres of Land.

Shelby county, Indiana, claims to have
the largest goldfish farm" in the world.
The farm is conducted upon strictly
scientific principles, and the most beauti-
full specimens of the little, cold-blooded
yertebrates to be found anywhere are at
all times on exhibition at this farm.
The farm, which is known as Spring
Lake Fishery, consists of many small
ponds. especially constructed with due
regard to shape. size and depth and
height of embankment, also the disposal
of trees and shrubbefy on the banks.
These small ponds are all connected by
channels or sideways fitted with gates
10 control the flow of the water, and
these channels afford communication he
tween the ponds. The fish are so deli
cate that they may not be safely handled:
and so they are conveyed from one pond
10 another as desired i'll the gently How
ing water of the channels.
The breeding ponds are especially con-
structed, with high entertainments to pro-
tect them from the force of the wind as
we'll as from cold. None of the ponds are
under roof, neither is the water in the
hatchery warmed in any artificial man
ner nor given other protection than the
high embankment The little fish even
in winter do not require any other pro-
lection. and while they soon Succumb to
frequent handling they are very hardy
in their endurance of cold.

Military Plumes.

Osprey plumes as Il military decoration
in the British army are doomed. Besides
all the hussar regiments, the rifle bri-
gade, which also wears osprey plumes,
is affected by the change. Public inter
est against the cruelties involved in the
use of osprey plumes moved the war of
flee to decide in principle some time ago
that the plumes should be discontinued
Since then efforts have been made TO find
a suitable substitute, and a specimen
plume recently submitted for approval
by leading firm of London naturalists
that its ultimate adoption is regarded as
certain. though the necessary order has
not yet been issued by the adjutant-gen-
eral. The new plume will, in point of
fact, be composed of very short ostrich
feathers. 1t is exactly the same length
as the present plume. and by its grace
full wavy lines and tendency to curl is
pronounced to be much prettier

RAILWAY RISKS IN CHINA.
Difficulties Under Which Foreign M .
p1oycs Have to Labor.


The most amusing and painful eX-
periences that attend ''railroading" in
China fall, not upon the promoters or
the passengers, but upon the foreign
employees. An engineers life in North
China, for instance, is generally an
exciting one. Besides natural and rou-
tine difficulties, he has to cope, says
the London News, with mandarin in
trisues, village opposition, mutinous
railway coolies and turbulent soIdiery.
A somewhat typical incident was
that Of 1890, when, during floods, a
mob led by soldiery cut the railway
embankment and destroyed seven
miles of line near Tien-TSin The
cause alleged was that the embank-
ment prevented the flood water from
running off-which, as there were fire.
Iuent outlets, was utter nonsense.
Previous to that attempts had been
made to wreck trains, and the foreign
employees were constantly threatened.
The life, too, of a foreign guard on
a train is not always a happy one.
MandarinS' servants without tickets
frequently take possession of first
class carriages. and in the most COM
prehensive sense make themselves at
home. Perhaps, If the weather is cold.
they undertake to get warm by light
ing pans of charcoal.
Charcoal has certain asphyxiatinc
effects; the other passengers complain.
and the servants have to be elected.
Too much violence might lead 20 a gen
eral attack on foreigners and another
Tien-Tsin massacre, while too little
would not be effective. The unhappy
guard has to follow the happy" mean
between hard push and a knock down
blow.
There have been many ludicrous as
we'll as dangerous incidents on the
North China line. When it was first
opened. Chinese would come to the
booking office and try to bargain for
tickets. When told the fare, they
would offer half, and gradually raise
their bid, much disguised that they
should not, in business spirit, be met
halfway.
One day country gentleman. on his
first ride in train, seeing his house
midway between two stations flying
past, deliberately opened the door and
stepped out into space. AT the pace
the train was going a European would
certain have been killed. but the supple
Celestial, after prolonged period of
somersaults, was seen to pick himself
I'D dust his clothes and set off home
across the fieldS-much pleased with
his short cut and the convenience of the

A HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS.
Where London's Disabled Feathered
Creatures Are Restored.

Are6tuTco Arc NcotOT0Us
How many Londoners know of the
birds hospital down at Norwood? A ca
nary with a broken leg, your seedy par
rot, Jour prize poultry with tuberculosis,
your racing pigeon with a touch of
''liver''-each is welcomed there and re-
stored. This odd institution is in charge
of Prof. Vale. who was led to the closer
study of birds ailments from the fact
that his own died under the ordinary
treatment. He made frequent expert
E,cnts with medicines. ard now, after
fourteen years Of study, he considers
feathered creature suffering from acct
dent or ailment. Smallpox-even the
winged bipeds get it-can be baniShed,
"swelled head can be reduced. tubercu-
losis can be eXterminated, while minor
ills have all their cures | cured valu-
able racing pigeon few days ago, sad

BIRDS! Yes. swans and turkeys. l have
attended both.
1 haven't any canarles on wooden legs
here, but l have often set a broken one.
l use a large quill, split open, and lined
with cotton wool, as a splint; it keeps the
limb quite firm. Many canaries that
treat are suffering from wrong feeding.
Most books on canaries say that canary
seed is the best food, whereas it is about
the most unsuitable, with perhaps the
exception of millet"
MIR. Vale explained the various con
stltuents of canary seed and demon
strated that they were in a very different
proportion from that required by nature.
Starch is the great enemy of the human
race, according to Mr.. Vale If the sys-
tenn was entirely free from starchy foods
one would throw off disease without eff
fort, and the modern Brton would live,
