IT seems that the Wilmington Com.
n,erciol has been obliged to roost lower.
Last week it published false and libel
lous article upon Judge Fisher and DR..
Nolen. In an hour afterward the editor
was confronted by the gentleman (Mr.
Edm md Grifiith) whom he gave as au
thorlty for his statements. The falsity
of the article was made SO apparent that
Mr.. Howard jenkins, the editor, promis-
ed TO retract in a subsequent issue of
his paper on that day (Friday.) This he
failed to do, though he issued several
editions that afternoon. We learn that
the people of Wilmington are very in
dignant at the course of some Of the pa
pers of that city (including the CONNER
ciaD, particularly on account of the stea-
dy streams of personal abuse that fill
their columns. We regret to see this
lowering of the tone of journalism in
Wilmington, and shall be obliged to rely
upon the staunch old Republican for
truth, moderation and fairness

Success in .AdUertisang.

In times past 1t was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence OF ones goods, OF to
solicit patronage for them in newspapers.
During the ,ast twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, II has be
come necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equally
desirous to avoid all frauds, as they have
become skeptical of an article possessing
genuine merit. and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine without
character or WORTH. Still the public are
grateful to manufacturers or inventors OF ar
tcles Of merit, even il known as medicines;
many OF them are the result of years of care
full study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Quinine, ChloI otorm, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous pasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article it elf even
though it be a medical preparation. As an
evidence OF this, a celebrated physician of
New York made great improvement in Por-
Gus Plasters by adding CAPClNE on account
OF its giving increased effect and quick er re.
lief and cure than any known mediclcal
pioperty; he hesitated about advertising,
fearing his reputation would be injured. A
firm OF Pharmaceutical Chemists in his city
learning Of this decided improvement made
an arrangement with this physician and COM
menced advertising in the best newspapers;
in a short time the sale increased from hun
dreds to thousands until now the sale OF
BENsoN's CAPCINE PLAsTERs Is exceedingly
large and daily increasing. They can be OBJ

FIGHTING THE INDIANS.

The massacre CT Clusters command
has heen compared to that OF Major
Dade's detachment in the Florida war.
This occurred in 1885. On December %,
of that year, ITO men under Major Dade
were surprised by the Seminole Indians,
and every one OF them killed except q
few privatrs. TIE war with tho Indians
in Florida lasted seven years, at an ex-
pense to the Government OF about
$40, COO, 000 and loss of l, 466 lives. And
this, though our forces were led by such
skillful officers as Gaines, Zachary Tay-
lor, Jessup, Clinch, Harrow and others.
The disaster to Gen. st. Clair in 1903
was a still more memorable calamity
inflicted by the Indians upon American
troops. ST. Clair, a regular officer, was
made major general in 1871, and became
general-in-chief of the army. He was
entrusted with the command of the
expedition against the Miami Indians.
The last words of Washington to him
were; Beware of SURPRISE St, Clair
was surprised, however, on November 4,
near the Miami Villages. and his force
of 400 ill-disciplined men were cut to
pieces. The wonderful control which
Washington had gained over violent
temper is said to have completely given
way when he received this intelligence,
and the explosion of his wrath is said
for time to have been fearful. st. Cia;- :
resigned his commission.
Washington himself possessed great
experience of Indian warfare, and he
may have remembered bitterly at this
moment the ruinous obstinacy in the
expedition against Fort Duquesne of a
regular officer, Braddock, who, although
unacquainted with Indian warfare, dis
regarded the suggestion of the young
aid-de-camp, Washington. The result
was that he fell into an ambush, was de-
feated with great loss, every one of his
aids except Washington disabled, and
himself mortally wounded. The as
sumption that one regular soldier is
equal to five Indians is contradicted by
all experience, except they be very skill
fully handled, and the necessity Of the
most extreme caution in military move
ments against the red men was always
understood by Gen, Washington.

Coz. T1ldem and the state Tar

A State tax reduced from SIS 900 O0O
to $4,000, ,000-this is the clear proof that
Governor TILDEN presents of the brain
to conceive and the ability to execute
reform. A tax lessened one-half in the
first State of the Union, every income
in the State increased bS so much and
no man made poorer----these are the
practical results of his administration
felt IN every taxpayers pocket. After
vain effort to decry and belittle them,
TO treat economy in expenditure and for
bearance in taxation as matters of slight
moment or if of weight. natural bles-
sings coming without the need Of a wise
policy in the high places of the State,
the Republican press seeks to appropri-
ate the credit of the reduction to the
last Legislature. If the Legislature had
had brains enough to draw its own ap-
preparation bills, as the House at Wash
ington has to the no small disgust of
this press, it might have some shadowy
claim to credit itself with this reduction
The Legislature did not. Every canal
appropriation bill was drawn in the Au-
ditor's office. The Comptroller superin-
tended the draughting of The General
Appropriation and the Supply bills, and
fear of the Governors veto kept the
bills clean after they got into the Legls-
lature. In minor matters like the spe-

The Refusal of BrisfOr to Peach
on the President.

WASHINGTON, July Notwithstanding
Brlstow was before the special whisky
committee probably an hour yesterday.
He persisted in his refusal to answer
any questions touching what he consid-
ers confidential communications be-
tween the President and himself, and
says that he will go to Jail first. Mr..
Knott will report the matter to the full
committee on Wednesday next, by which
time Col. Bristow, who left last night
with his family for the White Noun
tains, will have returned.
IF the full committee sustain the view
of Mr.. Knott Mr.. Bristow wlllbe brought
to the bar of the House for contempt.
Mr.. Knott takes the ground that in case
of the impeachment of the President
the testimony of a member of the cabi-
net might be of vital Importance. What
is desired of Col. Bristow is the purport
of what passed between him and the
President touching whisky prosecutions.

1t really looks as if the President had
made up his mind to punish every pro-
minent official connected with the de-
lection and punishment of the whisky
ring The latest victim is District At
torney Dyer, of ST. Louis, the President
sending to the Senate yesterday the
name of another person for Mr.. Dyer's
position. The President may crafty his
own personal feelings and please the
whisky ring by his course, but it is not
the way to help elect Hayes. The Pres
ident's friends say that Dyer resigned,
but they well know how the "resigna-
tion" was brought about.

Deaths from the Heat

Thirty six cases of sunstroke, many
of them fatal, were reported in New
York ON Monday, although the exces-
cessive heat of Saturday and Sunday
had moderated somewhat, In Harris
burg, yesterday, the thermometer
marked 102 degrees in the shade, and
two deaths from sunstroke were re +.
ported. AT Norfolk, Va, the temper
ature was 103, and there was one case
of sunstroke. In Richmond the ther-
mometer reached 100 in the shade on
Saturday and Sunday, and yesterday
it reached 105. Several deaths from
the heat are reported, among the vic
Tins being State Senator Lathrop. In
Washington, d. c., on Sunday after
noon, the thermometer registered 103,
and six persons died of the heat. Yes
terday Representative Wells of Mis-
sissippi, and Eugene Dornan, Assis-
tant Doorkeeper, were sunstruck in
going to the Capitol. There were six

Detective Yaryan Before the Whisky
Committee Tells the Story Of
His Dismissal,

WASHINGTON, July 10th.-Ex- Chief
Detective Yaryan was before the Whis
ky Committee today, and was exam
ined for few minutes. He testified
that he had been employed as detec-
was made Chief of the Treasury De-
tective Service by Bristow, and that in
1872 he and another detective officer,
named Brison, were sent to st. Louis
to search for frauds. They found the
traces of fraud everywhere and most
positive evidence of the existence of a
whisky ring, and of the guilt of Nc
Donald, Kee and the others who have
since been convicted. A report in ac-
cordance with these facts was made to
Commissioner Douglass at the time,
but no notice was taken of it. Some
time afterwards witness went to Doug
lass. He told verbally the actual con-
dition of affairs at st. Louis, and asked
why some notice had not been taken
of the report. Mr.. Douglass replied,
according to witnesses testimony, that
he had no doubt the facts were as he
stated. But" said he, pointing his
finger to the White House, II am pow
erless to do anything; there is so much
influence" OF his sudden dismissal,
Yaryan testified that the President
had sent for him once or twice before
and told him that complaints were
made against him, certain Senators
and members. Yaryan explains how
that was natural, since all of the whis
ky men whom he attacked had power
tul Influence. The President appeared
satisfied, and lie heard nothing more
until about two weeks ago, when the
President sent his peremptory order OF
dismissal ON the 30th of June.

DARK CLOUD ON THE FRONTIER

Fears Tor the safety OF Terry and
Gfbbon-The CampaiSn.
Especial dispatch to the Philadelphia Times.)
WASHINGTON, July 10,-The official
document from the War Department
as to the present disposition Of the ar
my, submitted to the House to-day by
General Banning, shows that the en-.
tire strength of the army is 26,979
men, distributed as follows: 4,2l6 at
West Point and in the ordnance corps
and non-commissioned and staff; 1880
in the Territories; 3,71S in Texas; 1884
in other Southern States; 2,913 operat-
ing against the Sioux, under Generals
Terry and Crook and about A 900 in
the Northern cities and forts. Gen
Banning is confident that there is 20
necessity for raising new troops, hold
ing that the present force is sufficient.
TEe bill to raise new regiments will
meet with considerable opposition in
the House. Grave fears are beginning
to spring up for the safety of the ex-
pedition against the Sioux. There
seems to be reason to believe that Sit
ting Bull is gathering to his force
many of the best fighting Indians in
the Northwest, who are armed with
weapons that are generally much su'
perior to those used by the soldiers.
Terry and Crook might be cut to pie
ces before they were able to unite
their forces, and as Sitting Bull is an
able and willy general, is is thought
that he will probably essay that sort
of campaign.
OMAHA, Neb., July 10.-The report
that General Crook had been killed
and several companies of his com
mand annihilated is not credited here,
nothing having been heard of it at the
department. headquarters. A despatch
from Cheyenne says there is no truth
in the rumor so far as known there.
