FROM all parts of the Atlantic
coast reports of disaster from the
great storm have been alike in one
particular; its severity and the great
loss of property. Delaware is less
liable to the terrible floods that
devastate and lay waste great
swaths through the country, by
reason of her lack of hills and
mountains, which have caused the
waters in our neighboring States to
sweep all before them in their wild
race to the sea. The news as re-
ceived from the upper Delaware
river, tells of the destruction OF
every bridge over it, but one above
Trenton, N. ]. Delaware is fortu-
nate in her fiat formation, and
while great quantities of water fall
or the tide water rises deep over hei
fields, yet a few days sun and vino
wipes away their effects, and hei
sgriculturists resume their usuai
avocations and find that their los.
amounts to little.

THE horrible death of the negro
fend White, by burning at the
stake for ravishing and numbering
Miss Bishop, near Wilmington has
been no terror to another brute in
that city and the case of a thirteen
year-old girl found ravished and
murdered in a causeway ditch has
famed the passions of the people
into flame at this last outrage.
The fend has not been arrested,
but nothing should be left undone
that will bring him to justice. A
swift trial and a good strong rope
will do more toward checking
crime of this character than all the
horrible lynchings, and by them
the majesty of the law will be up
held.

THE anti-Addicks papers of Del
aware, without exception, appear
to have found a straw on which to
hang their hopes by the appoint
meat of Mr.. Nields to the vacant
United States District Attorneyship
for Delaware, and profess to have
had a victory lover the Union Re
publican party by reason of this act
of President Roosevelt. They over
look the fact that the appointment
of Mr.. Nields is only filling the
Office made vacant by the resigna-
ton of one anti-Addicks man with
another anti-Addicks man and that
the Union Republicans of Delaware
have lost nothing thereby. If so
small thing as this will bring JOY
to "a party, or clique, its political
condition must be in the last eX-
tremity of disintegration.
