WHY NOT BE PLAINp
The New York Post. a sort of quai administration organ, says:

The New York Post. a sort of quasi administration organ. says:
 Two events pregnant of i'll te the State of Delaware, and to the country as a whole. took place yesterday. Mir. J. Ed ward Addicks was appointed by the Gov ernor of the State to be a trustee of Del aware College, and William M. Byrne was nominated again by President Roose- welt as District Attorney. All the reasons why Byrne should not have been ap- pointed four months ago remain of full force. vita the additional one that the Senate Judiciary Committee reported ad- versely to him. The choice of a noto- rfouS briber as trustee of a college is a crime against the youth of the State and the country. In taking this step the Gov ernor has advertised himself as cor ruptor of the morals of the rising genera ton. Far better would it he to send Ad- dicks to the Senate. where only grown H.en would be exposed to his example and sition where he may be looked up to as a guide and monitor by boys at the impress sionable age of college life.
 Why does not The Post come out boldly and condemn the President for the part he is taking in the disreputahle side of Delaware politics? The nomination of Byrne, after he had been rejected by the Senate. is evidence enough of the atti- tude of the President. He knows full well that Byrne is in full accord with Ad- dicks, even f he is not the latter's tool. They work hand in hand, and the ap- pointee is so notorious that even a Re- publican Senate could turn him down, notwithstanding the threat of the Presi- dent to reappoint him after the adjourn ment of Congress.
 Nor should all the blame. for the ap- pointment of Addicks by the Governor rest In the latter alone. The gas states man owes his political standing to tn . fact that he is a favorite with the Presi- dent. and his open boast that he will control Federal appointments in his State is evidence enough that he considers him self the Republican boss in Delaware. And as long as he retains the countenance and support of the President, just that long will he be sustained by a Republi- can Governor. Let him be dropped with dull thud. or something of the kind. by the national administration and he will not be long in finding his level. The Post should not be partial or tender in it's comments.

cratic policy
From the time of Jeff

e1auc policy. From the time of Jeff sa.n rerson that party has been associated w.h undertakings that increased facili- tiss or intercourse and extended the coun- erit commercial relations. The lsth- man canal project encounters Republican hosuilty, secret hostility emanating from railroad sources. To let the Republi- cans defeat Jthe treaty if they will. to lorce them to defeat, if any body is to oeIeat, an undertaking demanded by the great Democratic States of the South, is obviously the true Democratic policy con- sioered merely as politics If the re- ciprocity treaty with Cuba is defeated, 1t should be by Republicans. If that party Is willing to prove false to it's moral obi- gallons, if Republican Senators are stlll eager to exhibit the shackles put upon them by oxnard, why should any Demo- crat deny them?
 MT. Germans course in respect to the treaties will be watched with deep h. terest and close attention. We shall Know almost at once whether he is to be a leader for victory or for certain defeat.

A Valuable Rabbit Hole.

Forty acres of pure plaster of paris, from ten to fifty feet thick, Is the re- suit of the effort of two boys to smoke a rabbit out of a hole under a ledge on Gloss mountain. Woods County, O. T. The gypsum ledge was formerly the home of numberless wild creatures, which liv- ed in the crevices of the rocks, using dry COW chips, sticks and other rubbish for their nests. The whole mountainside was a mass of flames almost immediate ly when the fire was applied. and it burn ed for days. Only 300 degrees Is required to convert gypsum Into plaster of paris, and the ledge is being transformed into white powder.

In almost every land. civilized and un- civilized. the act of sneezlng is regarded with more or less of superstition. There is an equivalent in nearly all languages peasant when a person is moved to de clare the presence of a tickling sensation in his nostrils. To this salutation in France is added sometimes the phrase and preserve you from the fate of Tycho Irahe," who is believed to have got rid of death of cold" by a single sneeze- which killed him. In England a regular formula is used "Once for a wish. twice Tor kiss, three times for letter and Tour times for a disappointment

Chattanooga Times.
 The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser in an editorial of some length takes MT Wattersons recent observations on Presl- dent Cleveland's election in 1892 quite seriously, which is more than MT Wat terson, himself. or any of his familiars does. MT Watterson cannot possibly de- liver himself of an opinion worthy con- sideration on the subject of Grover Cleveland. His influence has been seri- ously impaired by his habit of querious ness and fault-hnding which has been growing on him alarmingly as he grows older Mir, Watterson IS really too young a man to he entering his dotagc

The latest specimen of bugology lltera- ture comes from Michigan where farm CT. on going into the loft of his barn was bitten on the cheek. the result being such a painful shock that he fell to the floor below and came near breaking his neck. The insect Is thus described:
 Examination of the loft revealed a bug two and a half inches long quartered in the hay. The insect has long wings, its legs are double tointed with a tendency to curl or bow. The head, which is the strangest part of the insect, is fully an Inch in diameter, covered with fuzz, part ly covering a long bill like that of some gigantic mosquito.

 There is now a womans athletic club with prominent members of society as its organizers and sponsors. On the list of charter members are Mrs. John Jacob Astor. Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, Miss Helen Barney, Miss Moud Livingston. Mrs. Joseph Earl Sheffield and many oth- CTS who are interested in such sports as tennis and squash. The membership will be limited, for there are fewer than a thousand women who could be enrolled. and the committee on admissions will consider social status to large extent.
 The originar suggestion for founding such an institution was made by wo- man who had successfully managed womans athletic club in Chicago.

"Woman" Has the Floor.
Washington Times.

Washington Times.
 The Babylonian woman had every reason to congratulate herself upon being a native of her city. According to cuneiform tablets translated by Mr Johns of Cambridge she possessed civil and social freedom, for which no parallel can be found even at the present day among the women of Washington, As an eX- ponent of woman's rights 40O0 years ago she should make interesting study of the problem. Why didn't women keep the rights they once possessed?' Our women readers have the floor.
