CITY WATER SUPPLY.

IT HE publication of a long article the other
day telling how Harrisburg Judge gave
The railroad company by court decision right
to lay pipes in the streets of Pennsylvanas capi-
tal against the protest of the Harrisburg Water
Company which is owned by the city was evil
IDENTIFY designed for effect upon our own Street
and Sewer Department The directors OF the
latter have failed to give the permission asked
by the Delaware Water Company.
The Harrisburg city officials are to appeal the
case to higher court and hence if our Street and
Sewer Directors should incline to grant the Della
Water Company permission to use the streets,
basng their action on the decision OF Pennsyl-
vania Judge it would be well to wait the decision
OF the higher courts.
The opinion of the Harrisburg judge, in order
to apply to this city, would mean, in effect that
the city has no jurisdiction over its own streets
when private corporation wants to use them to
lay water pipes.
Evidently it is the intention Of the Delaware
Water Company to make a contest in the courts
to secure the needed permission to lay the pipes
in Wilmington streets The city should be pre-
pared to meet such legal battle. If we cannot
control our streets we ought to know it. But
there is a sound legal opinion showing that the
city has authority over its own highways. and we
are inclined to suspect that the printing Of the
Harrisburg court opinion is in the nature Of
bluff" to wheedle the Street and Sewer Direc-
tors into surrendering the integrity OF the citys
Water Department.

EARLY PoLITIcAL sTIR.

IT WAS thought that Delaware would be free
from political strife for year at least, but,
judging from the activity in Sussex county, the
campaign for the gubernatorial nomination of
next year is already on. 1t is rather early to
plunge into the fight, but Delaware people, es-
pecially those in the lower counties, enjoy poll
tics and are never without some topic of political
conversation. The Prohibition election will not
leave the State without political agitation this
autumn, and as soon as that election is over we
shall jump into the conflict of next year. 1t may
be that the importance Of the contest next year
has caused the early consideration of the candi-
date for next governor Of Delaware. When it is
remembered that the next governor will
appoint an entirely new State Judiciary the
Importance Of the contest may be realized. And
the candidate for governor will concern the State
at large quite much as he will the residents OF
Sussex county, some of whom appear filled with
the notion that the election of the next governor
of Delaware is purely Sussex county affair, to
be determined by majority of the people of Sus-
sex county and not by majority OF the people
OF the State of Delaware.

PRISON POPULATION DECREASES

IN 1904 the Census Bureau started to ascertain
= whether the country is getting better, and it
now announces that, better or worse, the ratio of
persons in prisons to the entire population has
decreased since 1890.
Out of every million Americans there are now
1000 in prison, while in 1890 there were 1907.
After thinking it over, the census experts point
out that this decrease may mean only an exten-
sion of the probation and parole system, and the
adoption of various other forms Of eniency. They
are inclined to believe that this eniency is re-
sponsible for the continued decrease in the num-
Der of female prisoners. In 1880 eight per cent.
OF the prisoners were women; in 1890, seven per
cent, and in 1904, FIVE per cent.
Colored persons were more common among the
prisoners in 1904 than they were in 1900
The increase. was particularly noticeable in the
North Central States, where fourteen per cent.
were colored persons in 1890 and twenty per cent.
IN 1904.

HAS BIG APPLE CROP.
Waterloo Township Farmer Has Several
Varieties of Fruit Trees.

Friday of last week Peter Penner, of
Waterloo township, brought in from his
farm 81 miles south west of Langdon,
the best of evidence of the fact that
many kinds of fruit can be raised right
here in Cavalier county, North Dakota,
and callers on the DEMOCRAT can put
themselves wise by coming to our office
and examining for themselves the
samples of ripe golden crab apples and
transplanted wild yellow plums he left
with us. Mr.. Penner, who is success
fully demonstrating what can be done
in raising both large and small fruits of
the harder varieties. planted several
kinds of both apple and plum trees on
his prairie farm five years ago and the
three past seasons has gathered fruit for
which he finds ready sale in town after
using all the family needs for preserving
and table use. This fall the trees are SO
ladened down as to need proping to sup
port the branches. He also has currants
gooseberries, blackberries and rasp-
+, berries. Next year he intends going in
for big crop of Strawberries.
