A TEACHER OF IMMORTALITY

The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks
that. granting Addicks is all that his
enemies say, he should be elected to
the Senate. Now honest Delawareans
are pleased with all intelligent COM
ment and ala good advice that comes
from thoughtful minds outside OF the
State, but they are not disposed to
adopt a course OF villainy because an
organ with an extensive circulation
advocates it.
IL makes an argument for SUCCESS
ful piracy; it demands a reward for
the thief who. though guilty, has es-
capped conviction. It is a plea for the
continuance OF the worst form OF ras-
cality In our politics, greater than that
which has afflicted Pennsylvania. and
which the Inquirer has systematically
defended.
We expect nothing else from an or
gan which gloried in the ripper bills
passed by the last legislature, and
which was proud of an administration
which ostensibly gave away fran
chises for which private citizens Of
fered millions. This paper is consist
ent in a way; when it was supporting
Elkin for the Republican nomination
for Governor It turned on Quay and
accused him Of all the political crimes
to be imagined. 1t declared that he
had purchased Elkin's delegates, yet
when Quay stood triumphant. it as
sumed a seryile attitude and Kicked his
boots
Now It applies its doctrine 10 Della
ware Having corrupted our people till
the State is a reproach and a by
word, the corruptor must have his re-
ward. A public journal has some CDR
legation to decency, and TO preach
absolute immortality, is to court the
loathing OF those who still respect tho
ten commandments. Let the Inquirer
stick 10 its role of apologist to Ash
bridge. and we shall be satisfied.

THE COAL HOG

Remember the poor" is a senti-
ment which finds a response in the
hearts of all as Christmas approaches,
but this year our philanthropic i'm
pulses are defeated by the fact that the
poor may be freezing and yet there is
little chance Of relieving them. Many
man who after filling his cellar with
coal, sends a ton to some poor family,
now finds his wits taxed TO meet his
own necessities.
When such a situation as this comes,
VIC are certain TO witness an exhibl-
tion Of selfshness. One reason that
the coal supply of Wilmington is ex-
hausted is because many persons have
taken the precaution to I'll their cell
lars, and there the coal will lay for
months, doing nobody any good. The
method is to place an order for a ton
with half dozen dealers, and to ac-
cept it all when It comes. The poor
can buy only in small lots, and conse-
quently when they need coal they find
II has all been taken.
in times Of stress It is usual for ali
good citizens to rise to the occasion
and it should be understood now when
there is not half enough coal to supply
tho demand, that the person who stores
II mp for months ahead is reducing tn,
supply just so much, and is adding e
the general discomfort and miser,
which may follow. There ought to b,
sufficient public sentiment to deman,
that whatever coal comes TO Whining
ton shall be properly distributed, an,
the coal hog should be denounced.

Engineering Magazine for December
The most striking article in The En-
Igineering Magazine for December is a
very able review, by General Henry. L.
Abbot, one OF the most DISTINGUISHED
hydraulic engineers in the world, of the
Chagres river in its relations to the
Panama Canal. 1t is q quiet analysis
or years of painstaking study and OBJ
servation. The much exaggerated
'towential" features of the river are
shown to be far less violent than those
OF many easily controlled rivers OF the
western United States. And a strong
argument is made for the "twO-lake"
plan of regIlation-the one lake MAIN
tanning tho summit leval of the canal
the other and upper impOunding, stcr-
ing and absolutely regulating the
floods. UnCer this system the canal
would never lack water supply, even
for a traffic three times as great as
that of Suez, nor ever be invaded by
currents in the least troublesome to
navigation.

A Chinese Joke
Ponang Gazette.

From the Penang Gazette.
The vast concessions which have
been granted 10 British and French
companies for the exploitation Of pc
troleum. coal. and irOn in Szechuan
look very big upon paper, hut we are
almost inclined to regard them as a
huge joke worked upon the companies
by the Chinese government. Sec
huan is at the present time about the
most anti-foreign province in China
There it is that the Boxers are open

The car fender ordinance now in thS
hands OF the Mayor will probably be
signed by that official after certain ex-
plantations Of its provisions shall have
been made. The companies will be re-
quired to equip their cars within sixty
days after the Mayor approves the or
dinance, with tenders approved by the
city officials. II is significant at this
time to note that a Wilmington COM
pany was chartered at Dover yesterday
whose purpose is to manufacture these
appliances. OF course this is a mere
coincidence, and we do not mean to
insinuate that there is any connection
between the passage Of the ordinance
and the formation OF this company, yet
it is just possible that only tenders OF
it's manufacture may be approved by
the officials.

a Peculiar Gun This

In the State House. in the various
museums. and in the possessions OF
private collectors are many old flint
locks which were used by the men of
Washingtons army. Turnkey James
Brown. of the Frankford police sta
tion, however, has a gun which WAS
used in the battle of Trenton by one
of his ancestors, which he declares
differs from any other revolutionary
muskte in this city. Aside from its pc
lculiar lines, the gum, which is on the
order of q fowling piece, has connect
ed with its associations which make it
doubly priced by Policeman Brown.
While in the act of firing at one of thu
redccats a grape shot struck the iron
butt of the fOwling piece putting a big
dent in 1t, bending the gun all out of
shape and killing Mr.. Browns ances-
tor. The gun, which Turnkey Brown
newer tires of exhibiting to his friends,
is all iron and steel. not a single bit
of wood having been used in its con-
stIuctiCn. the iron butt being screwed
on the barrel. 1t is nearly FIVE feet in
length, and is totally unlike any of
the other relics on exhibition. Mr..
Brown keeps it over the mantlepiece
at his home. No. 4246 franklin street.

Painful

The superintendent of the Sunday
school Of a country Presbyterian
church expected a visit from clergy
man OF note. and wished to have his
Sunday school class in such shape as
should favorably impress his visitor
He supposed that his class would be
examined on the catechism, and as
most Of the pupils were quite young,
It would have been too much to expect
them to commit the whole Of the cate
chism to memory He. therefore,
ranged his pupils in line, numbering
them No. 1 and so on to the end; re-
questing Mo. 1 to commit TO memory
the answer to the first question of the
cathechism, No. the answer to the
second question, and so to the end Of
the catechism.
On the day of the visitors coming
the small boy who was at the head
Cf the class stopped on his way to
church to gather some green apples in
a neighboring orchard, and directly
after his arrival at the Sunday school
violent inward pain Obliged him to
go home. This left boy No. 2 at the
head of the class.
The visiting clergyman duly ar
rived. and the boys being drawn up
in line before him by the superintend-
ent, he complimented them on their
bright and neat appearance, and said
that he would proceed to examine
Them on the catechism and had no

doubt but that they would prove a
credit to their efficient superintend-
ent
His first question from the catechism
was, "Who made your" to which the
boy at the head of the class replied:
To praise God and glorify Him for
ever" Il am afraid you misunder-
stood my question" said the visitor. Il
asked, who made you?'" Again came
the answer from the head boy: ITO
praise God and glorify Him forever. -
The visitor again shook his head, when
a little boy at the foot of the class held
up his hand. and said: please, mister,
the boy that God made has gone home.
He had bad pain in his stummik."

Big Load of Potatoes
What is said to be the biggest load
of potatoes ever hauled along the
Bustleton pike in a top wagon was
taken TO F'rankford several days ago.
Isaac c. Cooper. a farmer employed by
q. II. Middleton, of Frankford, enjoyed
the distinction of hauling the load,
which consisted of 140 bushels OF po-
tatoes, which were brought from Echo
Surfing Farm. The weight of the
wagon and potatoes tipped the scales
at nearly six tons, and it required four
horses to draw the load. The wagon
used was built at Mr.. Middleton's mar
chine works in Frankford. 1t is con
structed almost entirely of iron, even
to the covering, which is of sheet steel.
In fact, the only wood about the whole
wagon is the wheels, which are made
Of the very toughest material.
