THE ADVERTISER AND THE LEVY COURT

It is refreshing to find the Aduertiser stand
ing guard over the Levy Court. Such a para
graph az this, for instance -
ave must not let the Levy Court go into the
hands OF our enemies. To permit this disaster
IL to disfranchise poor white men for many
years to come. We have Just passed through a
period OF fraud and wrong, projected and car
ried out by the same class Of persons as are cer-
tain to dominate the Commissioners of the Levy
Court"
Pause for moment, lovers of truth. Linger
to reflect, if only briefly, on the amazing audaci-
ty of the above. a. The Democrats Unjust
not let the Levy Court 80 into the hands of the
Republicans. And why not? Because, as we
explained the other day, the Levy Court has
been and is valuable instrument for the SER
vice of the Democracy, not merely fulfilling its
Legitimate functions for the ordinary dispatch Of
the countys business, but zealously serving,
nnder the control of its Democratic majority,
their party purposes and objects. This is the
reason why the Aduetiser declared, ten days
ago, that the Levy Court must be carried at 'all
hazards, and for which it now says its party
must not fail to make their point.
And (2) the declaration that to permit the
Levy Court to go into the control Of the Repub-
licans is to disfranchise poor white men This
Is richness Does not the most ignorant citizen
know the law passed by the Democrats of the
last Legislature, intended, as the Republican
resolutions have truly declared, ''t6 cheat the
county out of its taxes, and the people out of
their votes ?" 1t is a law that bears only on the
poll tax payer, and does not touch a man who
has property, 1t is precisely calculated to dis
franchise poor men, and can have had no othel
possible purpose. It is Democratic law. 1t
is exactly what the AdUertise, absurdly ascribes
as an object of the Republicans. What Won
der Of audacity
90 Finally, we have Just passed through an
era Of fraud. This is an approach to truth.
And what era Certainly that which will most
readily occur to all is the period when the Uni
ted States laws had to be invoked to protect the
citizens of New Csstle county from fraudulent
and outrageous Acknowledgement within the pre-
clncts Of sle Democratic Levy Court when the
prosecutions begun against some of the guilty
parties were shown to be justly founded and
when jury composed largely of the most re-
spected Democrats in the community brought in
verdict OF Guilty"
These are wel-known facts They make sucl
commentary on the Aduertisey's desperat,
desire to keep its hand upon the Levy Court
that we need only call them to the candi,
readers mind.

Names for the Female professors.

Among the wrongs of what nippant writer's
are wont to call the martyr sex Is one hither-
to uncanyassed which should by all means be
set right at once. In looking over the circu-
lars of the various educational institutions it
rasps ones sense OF justice to zee the titles
which flourish so finely before the names of the
male teachers thereof, and then contrast them
with the titular barrenness of those of the other

rightfully worn, voluntarily assumed, or used
as fattering bit of courtesy but ladies who
have passed their full college degree and
wrought for years in precisely the same vocation
remain plain Miss Or Mrs. to the end of the
chapter.
The trouble of this injustice is that it is diff
cult to rectify it for the lack Of suitable pro-
fessional title. ''Professoress" is too a.
trociously sibillant for use it is
worse than the ugly 'Doctress," which
lady physicians persistently decline to use. Per-
haps the German title of "Professoriumn would
be as good as any. To be sure that means in.
Germany the wife of professor, not the lady
professor herself, tut we can adopt the sound,
while exalting the sense. At any rate let some
thing be speedily found to satisfy this ''real
want for though the title spoken Of has by ex-
cessive using become sadly frayed and worn, yet
Never title yet so mean could prove,
