Now it is ex-President Cleveland who
is quoted as saying the Democratic party
t'must return to first principles" That
is the old story, that has been so often re-
peated, and that appears so very much
like dodging of the question at issue.
In Heavens name, what are Democratic
first principles? We have been listen
ing to the discussion of Democratic prin-
ciples by the leading men of that party
for more than forty years, and if there
is one of the principles" which these
men contend for that has not been finally
shelyeu we would like to know what it
| is. 1t would be rare acquisition for a
historical society museum. The question
| is where can these first principles" be
found? Who is qualified to make an au-
thoritative statement of them? This un-
animity about what must be done stated
in general and doubtful terms, is getting
to be very monotonous, not to say alarm
ing Then again it is not honorable, and
not lawful, to carry concealed deadly
weapons.

There is another police muddle to
straighten out. Two policemen engage
in saloon fight and Of course the van
quished complains to the commissioners.
Saloons and policemen are both apparent
ly necessary evils, and somehow the ne
cessity for one follows very closely upon
the other. 1t does not follow, however,
that policemen off duty should maketheir
rendezvous at saloons; nor does it follow
that men who frequent saloons are al
ways available for policemen. A good
rule would, probably, be to appoint only
anti-saloon men on the police force, or
make an entire avoidance Of the saloons,
except in the discharge of official duties
one of the obligations Of the appointee
| The spectacle of two Of the city's police
guardians engaged in Il saloon fight
with other of the city's peace guardians
as witnesses, is not an edifying affair.

Board met for that purpose. 1t is not
safe to accept as accurate, without veri-
fcation, any election returns made by
Democrats in Delaware. Another cur
ious fact of which we are reminded is
that in the contested election districts
in this county, in every district contested
by Democrats they lost votes, and in
every district contested by Republicans
they gained votes.

HAMMERS OF RAWHlDE.
MaIlets and MauIs Are Also Made of
the Same Material.

sTThe common idea of a hammer, no
doubt" said dealer in tools, would be
that it was an implement made to pound
with and having a head of iron or steel.
The pounding part of that would GER
tainly be all right, but not all hammer
heads are made of metal. There are
some hammers, in fact, with the head
made of rawhide.
.'Where the head would be on an ordi-
nary hammer there is on the rawhide
hammer, set at right angles across the
end of the handle, short section of iron
pipe. The rawhide that forms the ham
mef head is first cut into an oblong strip,
which is then, beginning at one end,
snugly rolled up. The roll thus formed is
put through an iron pipe, being made
| long enough so that it will project an
| inch or more at either end. The ends of
| the solid rawhide are trimmed off fiat
| and true, like the face of any hammer,
| making this two faced hammer.
| 'sThe rawhide hammer is used for va
rious purposes, largely in place of NAL
| let-for instance, for pounding on punch
es and on chisel handles. 1t is used where
| pounding is to be done on polished metal
| surfaces; it serves the purpose without
scratching the metal. Rawhide hammers
are made in various sizes.
t|Then there is a rawhide implement
that is called mallet, in which the head
is formed in the same manner as the raw
hide hammer head, but joined in the han
die direct, without being held there in Il
holder. The rawhide mallet is also made
in various sizes. 1t is a smaller and
lighter tool than the hammer.
Another rawhide pounding tool is the
rawhide maui, heavier than the hammer
and made in various sizes. The head Of
the rawhide maui is made Of disks OF
rawhide laid together in sufficient thick
ness and held together by iron caps TOP
and bottom, through which, as of courst
) through the rawhide as well, the mau
J handle passes. The block of rawhidt
thus made is turned into the usual mau
form. Built up as it is of compactet
layers placed crosswse of the handle, thu
striking surface of the maui, as is thu
case with the hammer and the mallet il
j the manner in which they are made, pre-
sents the rawhide in a mass edgewise
The rawhide maui is used, for example
by artificial flower makers pounding al
) day long on dies and punches cutting ou
n flowers and leaves.

rreemasonry In the middle Ages.

The Freemasons were one of the innu-
merable trade guilds Of the middle ages,
each of which had its oaths, its pass
words and its symbolic drama bearing
on the theory and practice of the craft.
The builders held the place of honor
among these guilds because their work
was the noblest. The nameless architects
of those majestic cathedrals which shine
out like jewels on the dark side Of medi-
,eyal anarchy and ignorance were master
Masons who had gone through precisely
the same ordeal every Freemason goes
through today.-Exchange.

Third street bridge is again in trouble
and the penny wise, pound foolish policy

question of bridges within the City Of

The hub-bub about the awarding of
contracts for furniture for the new high
school is a trade rivalry contention. It
seems as if the people generally ought
to have ordinary confidence in their rep
