Outside Opinions ON Delaware Poii-

The Philadelphia EoatiE3 Balietin expressed
the opinion that the Republicans Of Delaware
would strengthen their ticket by nominating =

county-an opinion which. as we suppose,
the Ballet. had its own grounds for.
and which We can testify was shared by large
minority and probably majority Of the Repub-

The CoalesviiIc Gas ExpIo.,on.

FURTHER PARTICULARS or THE DAAtAGE-THE
BUILDING TO BE REBUILT.
Tie Coatesyille Onion gives some further
particulars Of the damage to the shoe factory
Of Babb, Cox Il Go. by the late gas explosion
the circumstances under which it occurred hay
ing already been given in the COMMERCIAL The
Union says
The explosion occurred in the basement, near
tile centre Of the building, tearing up the great
er part Of the first tloor driving the double front
doors across the street. tearing down the stair
way and large part Of second floor, knocking a
hole through tie roof, and tearing out the north
side wall from ground to roof and about 20 feet
in wldth,-the south wall il badly cracked and
sprung ont. Many Of the window frames are
knocked entirely out. Over hundred panes
Of glass are broken. Tie machinery, material
and tools scattered and tossed il every direc-
ton, thus doing great damage to the machinery.
and leaving the place q complete wreck.
At frzt coal ga was used but it being SO high
ID price, gasoline machine was placed IN the
yard. aboat 80 feet from the building. For two
weeks past the machine has been out Of order
and out Of use the coal gas being again used.
1he gas machine has not been injured by the
explosion. and il Is now a mooted question az
to which gas caused the accident.
The building was insured in the Chester Co
contents N five different companies of Pmladel-
pAia for 5000, and the loss is fully covered by
insurance.
The factory will be rebuilt Immediately. work
men have commenced clearing away the debris
and it Is intended to have the works in full ope-
ration as soon as possible. In the meantime
the work will go on in the new end. which was
unnjured, and the stable is being fitted up as
temporary work shop.
The victims of the explosion, with the excep-
ton Of the little son Of Mr.. Babh, who died the
next morning, are recovering.

There is large element of sound sense in the
following from the Chicago Tribune
Whatever sins the Tilton scandal may
finally disclose, it will probably have one good
result 1t will check the great intimacy that
now prevails, a rule. between popular
preacher and his feminine parishioners. Wo-
men are more pious than men. They idealize
more than men. The church means more TO
them. They are its main stay. They are apt to
worship God as embodied in His servant who
ministers to their spiritual comfort, or they hate
the devil as embodied in the minister whom they
dislike When church lis divided into two fac
tons, one for and .one against the pastor,
the women are ever the fercest foes. They
love or they hate. Witness the
Mccarthy trial, during which separate en-
frances had to be provided for the two factions,
because the feminine church members fought
so bitterly. A minister who was driven from
Chicago church some years ago by the active ef-
forts of one lady. said that he had never be-
lieved in personal devil until he met Mrs.
But we are taking the case of q popular preach-
era Phillips Brooks with his barrelfull OF
slippers a Dillingham; of Aldrichs fiction, who
would have had to be centipede TO wear all the
slippers and hydra to wear all the smoking
caps he received from admiring ladies Of his
congregation.
Such man is, perforce, on very intimate
terms with women. He comes to them as mes
senger OF the Being they worship and revere
Their ready fancy invests him with some OF the
attributes Of his Master. He can do no wrong
His words are holy. Fair deyotees relate to him
their troubles. Such ceaseless adulation cannot
but harm. No man can stand it, least of all a
member of the single profession which deelaims,
week after week. to an audience that regards
doubt or criticism OF the defamation as sin.
minister gets no healthy criticism. If he
gets, instead of it, constant adulation, he
is in signal danger of becoming Rev. Cream
Cheese. And beyond all this, there lies a
deeper pitfal II he is naturally man Of low
passions, or if sudden temptation eau burn
through his self-control, his opportunities
are vast Is it wonderful that he sometimes
yields and brings deadly dishonor upon himself
and his victim, or himself and his temper It
is not right that the ministry should be exposed
to such trials. The fact of sex cannot be ignor-
ed man. though arrayed in the straightest
of coats and the stiflest of chokers, is man
still. This should be remembered. Enforced,
as it has been, by the Beecher scandal it will
doubtless serve to break up the false social re-
lation which now too often exist between
pastor and parishioners.
