GRAY AND DELAWARE.

The Philadelphia Ledger, which is al
ways we'll informed on Delaware po-
liticnl matters. publishes this rebuke
to the Democrats Of this State who
seem TO prefer anybody as a Presi-
Dental candidate Of thier party TO a
man Of recognized probity and capacity
from their own state:
This seeming political enmity IN his
own State to one Of the ablest and
wiseset men before the public today Is
so remarkable and unaccountable on IL.

tion. Judge Gray certainly has not de.

himself the inheritor of the best anC
highest ideals Of a sound statesman.
ship. His whole career Is OF a piece
with his Senate service. He has nevei
been swerved from the path Of recti
tude or from the Inc of duty; he hal
refused TO follow the false and strangl
doctrines which are Indicated By tn
word Bryanism.
The opposition TO Gray Is largely re
clulted from the ranks or the toOnsl
and tho lieht-headed IN Delaware poll
tics Organism Is dead. but the mel
who swan on tho current when tn
Populstic craze swept over us have no
yet found their proper places. The

servative people of the State know ther
well. These leaders were the kind O
men who went to conventions in lS9
prepared 20 deliver speeches IN favor O
the gold standard and then, finding {
their surprise that the farmers had be
come possessed Of the silver heress
actually tore up their sound-mone
speeches and shouted for silver.
Judge Gray believed IN the gol
standard and said so; he denounce
the crude heresies which have now bee
diss.pated he acted the part of th
statesman very courageously, wlthou

might have or his political fortune

At this season the young graduate
diploma in hand and an Grafton COM
mitted to memory, delights the great
audience Of prespiring guests and wins
their applause
These orations are written with
optomism as the keynote. They be-
hold the old world. hoary and sim
Scared. waiting for the knights Of re-
generation. And perhaps this is the
only proper view. for the world is not
perverse, not even neutral 1t is kind
" disposed. benehcent. and we may
take ii and make of it what we viii.
The young orator who breaches cour-
age. temperance and industry is on
the right track Were we all imbued
with his ideals crime. poverty and deg
relation would cease. And what Is
true OF the world in general is true OF
the world that each makes for himself
It may be made hideous or beautiful,
There is nothing the matter with the
world but its population, and this ele-
ment has been endorsed by intelligence
and free-will so that it may make its
choice.
SO the college orator with his en-
thusiasm. his optomism and his faith
is on the right track; his philosophy is
true. and we who sneer at his efforts
are cynical because we have failed.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
A Michigan man has been sentenced
to imprisonment for life for stealing SO

seems a bit tough. But the judge
pointed out that the victim was an
habitual criminal. had served thirteen
years for burglary and been arrested
more times than he could remember,
and was "A perpetual menace to soci-
ETY. when he was at large. So he should

Williamsport, Pa, June G. - EnOr-
nous loss in crops and farm animals
is reported for twenty-five miles along
the Lycoming valley from Ralston to
this city by a cloudburst over Bradford
and Lycoming counties. Whole farms
have been practically carried away,
landmarks have been blotted out and
houses have been carried far from
their foundations
The cloudburst sent a wave of water
twelve feet high down the Lycoming
creek, which in this season Of the year
usually is an Insignificant stream. Just
south Of Cation the creek rose nine feet
in an hour, and here scores of families
we're awakened from sleep by wreck
age being carried with terrific force
against the sides of the houses. An en-
tire block Of wooden houses in Canton
were lifted from their foundations and
carried into the middle Of the street.
In parts Of the valley the immense
wave swept past without the knowl
edge Of the farmers. Where houses
were built on high lands the country
folk knew nothing Of the cloudburst
until they went out to find practically
their entire farms swept clean Of vege

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Germany has solved the tramp prob

sonably free from vagrants and that
such as are sinking about the byways
are a relatively harmless lot, who sell

She makes the work so much harder
