A writer in the New York World
makes truthful as well as pertinent
point in the statement that Mr.. Bryan
is wrong in his assumption that the
Sound Money Democrats OF 1896 who
propose to vote for him this year are
looming back, because they have come
around to bis views On the money ques-
tion. On the contrary, this correspond
emit asserts, 1.-THE Democrats who were
against unsound money in 1886 are even
more strongly against it now, because
the whole current of events since then
has demonstrated the utter futility and
folly Of the 16 to l contention. The
Gold Democrats who are coming back
were driven back by Mr.. Mckinley
imperialism. which they regard as the
greater evil and peril. +" Others will
wait for another ticket, which may
afford them the opportunity of voting
against both imperialism aud free
silver coinage but none of them arc
any less opposed to free silver coinage
than they were in 1896.

correspondent states, because they do
not come up to the expectations of the
thriving municipalities, 1t is plain
that the American city IS expecting too
much. A growth continued for a cen
fury even at the slowest rate found in
this list would give our larger cities a
swarming redundancy of population
which can hardly, from any point OF
view, be desired. Buffalo feels bad
because 1t gained only 81 par cent this
tins, as against il Fer cent in the
decade before But it is easy to see
that deeennial gain of 81 per cont
would not BIO long in making the city
as populous as New York now is. Gin
cinnati is the worst disappointed city,
but the slowness OF IT'S growth is ex-
planned by the over flow of the popula-
tion in tho electric car zones outside OF
its corporate limits. Thousands oil
people essentially Cincinnatinns go over
the river into Kentucky for their
homes. Not realizing this, the En-,

Officer have been estimating its popula

case, and, like the one Of nearly two
weeks ago, this one has woman IN il.
The shooting was done by a former
resident of West Chester, Ellworth
Walton, and John Madden has bullet
wound in his hip.
Walton is fireman on the Penn.

everything was not running smoothly
in his home while he was absent, and
last night he. learned that party was
to be given at the Menkin farm 10 the
Chester Valley and that his wife was to
be a guest.
Then he laid his plans. He went to
Philadelphia rs usual in the evening,
but did not 60 to work. Instead he
returned home on late train. found
his vito absent, and with a.revolver 10
his pocket lay in wait for her 10 tbe
street near his home.
At 9 O'Clock this morning Mrs
Walton walked along the street. With
her was Madden. Walton approached
the couple, but Madden started to run
and attempted tn climb fenue in order
to make his escape. As he was balanced
at the top OF the obstruction, Walton
took deliberate aim and lodged bullet
In his hip.
Walton then escorted his wife home
and was arrested this morning and he'd
for a hearing. The condition Of Madden
IS not serious. He says that he was
introduced to Mrs. Walton at the
party, and supposed she was a single
woman.

Reports from Kent and Sussex counties
are to the effect that the registration
was very light last Saturday and Satur-
day week, and that very few colored
men wero attending to the matter.
There ID a suspicion that many colored
men expect to have their registration
fee of one dollar given to them, but
there is so much danger attached to
this form of corruption that very few
dollars are forth coming. Two years
ago, a negro preacher who gave another
negro dollar with which 10 get regis.
tered was convicted by the court and
spent six months in Jail. Few politi-
clans care to run the risk of going to
Jail for the sake of party success, and
therefore IL is hard TO get them to un.
dersake the task Of distributing dollars
among impecunious negroes for regis
tration purposes. Sc, unless some safe
scheme to evads the law can be con.
cocted, the negro vote Of Kent and Sus.
sex counties may be very light this
year.

Investigating Forest fires.

An investigation OF forest fires and

being pursued by the Division OF
Forestry of the Department Of Agricnl-
ture through Prot c. S. Crandall,
lately OF the Colorado Experiment Sta

Prof. Crandall began some years ago as
a collaboratoi of the Division, will be
carried on chiefly in tho northern part
of the State. where the prevalence of
Lodgepolc Pine makes the conditions
very diifessnt from those in the South.

and on which Prof. Crandall has already
made surveys aud recorded progress at
different periods since In the case OF

The detailed statement as to the

last session brings out clearly the ex.
tent to which our national expenditures
are swollen by outaoes on militar, and
naval account, present and past, says
the New York Evening Post The
largest single item in this Inst is that
of s145, 245, 230 for pensions the army
calls for STA. 22o, 095; the Navy Depart
ment for $50, lao, GIG; and Notifications
for s7,3s3,62s, with e674,306 for the
Military Academy. As the grand total
is $40. $50, 1852, it will be seen that
almost one-half goes to expenses grow
ing out Of East and present wars and
preparations against wars that may
come. In addition to the specific appio-
priations for such purposes, contracts
were authorized which cover two new
battleships, three armored cruisers,
three protected cruisers, and five sub,

colored Voter. Demand T,erogaltion.

toioreu tDters Demhnh NerosuitioH.
AT a meeting OF colored voters in this
city, Monday night. at which political
club was formed, a resolution was
adopted declaring that I'VE will SUD
port only such candidates as will tend
to the recognition Of our race "
When it is considered how large a
proportion of the total Republican vote
of Delaware the negro vote comprises,
and how little recognition the colored
voters have received in the way Of
Offices. 1t is not surprising that club
of colored voters should adopt such
resolution. Fer We take il that the
recognition" demanded is share in
the Offices which the Republican party,
as result OF victory at the polls. may
have at its disposal. Possibly it means
few nominations for Office, which
would be a decided innovation, as no
colored man has yet been placed on the
Republican sticses for an elective Office
in this State.
We doubt, however, u this club Of
colored voters has adopted the best plan
to enforce the political recognition Of
the colored race Such threats may
force the appointment Of few moro
colored men to minor appointive Offices,
but that is all il will do There will
be no lasting benefit to the. colored
people as result Of this demand for
recognition.
The surest road to the political re.
cognition Of the negro Is political
Independence, rather than threats
against pant y leaders. At present the
negro vote 10 almost solidly Republi.
can, and eravitates SO naturally to that
party that the leaders look upon it as
a sure thing at each recurring election.
They do not consider that 1t needs any
encouragement or recognition, and only
occasionally dole out an office to a
colored voter as a reward for faithful
rarty service.
Suppose that the colored voters, in
stead Of being blindly and solidly Re
publican, were to divide in their politi
cal convictions, the same as the white
voters do. The colorsd vote would ther
be an object of solicitude to the poll
ticians of all parties, and IL woult
obtain Just the amount Of politica
recognition that its numbers, its repre-
sentative character and its intelligence
entitled it to. Aud the result, even II
the shape of public Office. would be fa
greater than can be hoped for unde
the present system, while the advance
ment of the negro vote in the publi
estimation would be large and crafty
ing.
The thorough political independence
Of negro citizens would be good thin
for the negroes, and for the communi
ties in which they reside.

Cnllis P. Huntington, the railroad
magnate whose death was announced
Tuesday, was man OF great force and
business sagacity. He was the original
promoter of the Central Pacific rail-
road, and that great undertaking was
largely due to his energy and perseyer-
ance. Mr.. Huntington was president of
the Southern Pacific Railway Co., Of
which road he made the famous remark
to committee of Congress that when
he took charge of it "it consisted
merely of two stresks Of rust and the
right of way"

Here is piece of sound, practical
advice, given editoriaily by the Newark
Ledger: THE selection of good men to
put on the ticket cannot be considered
too carefully. To make tho Democratic
ticket winning one, the best men
should be chosen at the nomination
election. 1t is the duty OF voters to
consider this matter most carefully.
No Addicks Democrat is wanted. Men
who win remain true TO party and to
party principles are the ones needed on
the ticket. Weak kneed men, ones who
cannot resist the great persuader,
should he kept well out of harms way. y
And never was such good advice more
important to the Democratic party Of
Delaware than it is just now.
