On Saturday afternoon last Mrs. William
Hammonds, Of this place. sent her little son
Willie, aged about II years, into the cellar
to sweep it out At first she heard him stir
ring about. In about twenty minutes time.
the little fellow not comiug up and not hear

to the cellar. discovered him hanging by the
swing, (erected for his an.usement,l and
fearing something was the matter, hurried to
him. lie was sitting astride OF the swing

samuel Hammonds, . nelghbor, to come to
her assistance. The latter answered her call
and assisted the grief mother IN ls,. tax

MR.. EDITORIALS the time for election draws
nigh, the question becomes more and more impor-
tant in the minds of tia workingrnen as to which
OF the candidates for tho Legislature presented by
the two parties the best representatives Of
interests.
Some weeks ago, shortly after the organization |
Of the Workingmens League, the formation Of ar |
independent workingmen's ticket was proposed, |
majority of the members. This. however, did not
suIt the views OF few OF the members, who seem.
ed determined to array the League in support Of
one political party 10 this end . committee Of
Democrats and committee OF Republicans were
appointed to select names for Legislative candi-
| dates, and whichever candidate received the party
nomination also, was to receive the undivided sup
port OF the League. The Democratic committee
refused to present any names, and the Republican
comnittee were only deferred from presenting
their candidates by the prevalence Of we'll found
ed rumor to the effect that they had held confer
ence with leading Republicans, and decided to
present only those names which were almost NOR
ally certain to receive the Republican nomination.;
and 20, that scheme was dropped.
| In q few weeks, the respective party nomina-
tions were held. But certain members of the
League had not yet surrendered the idea OF pledg-
ing the support of the League 70 the Republican
/ party. To this end, most brilliant scheme was
devised. A series Of questions were propoundsd
TO eash candidate on both tickets, and upon the
answers were to depend the action Of the League.
Whoever answered in the affirmative was TO re-
ceive the support Of the workingmen, while those
who failed 70 do 80 were to be dropped. What
Q nonsensical idea. What was more reason.
able tn suppose than that every candidate would
instantly blurt out "yes, yes" at the top OF his
: lungs, when the votes Of the great mass OF Will
mington workingmen depended on such an an.
swer. The result was that all the Republican and
= portion of the Democratic candidates, answered
in the Affirmative. And, MIR. Editor, Is work

sire to be governed by the wishes of their consttu
\ ents, than in those who eagerly answered yes

3 the work,ngmen of Wilmington.
e| And so, MIR. Editor the workngmen have beel
u denied opportunity of sending true and tries

THE COMPETITIVE SYSTEM IN OPERA
TIoN.-In Washington, one of the best
practical clerks in the cash room of the
Treasurer's office, and who was recon-
mended from the office for promotion has
failed to compare the required competitive
examination under the new regulations.
This is looked upon as practical proof of
the inefficiency of the competitive system
to determine the value of clerks. The
question now agitating the examining
board is whether he is qualified to remain
as a first-class clerk. A large number of
clerks were dismissed from the pension
office; among them six ladies. Several
were also reduced to lower clerkships than
those held Arthur Baker, son of General
Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, has
