From the New YORK World.
Among the many measures recently
introduced in the Legislature for the
amendment Of the present muddled ex.

to that standard, the penalty being for

this measure, II passed, will prevent
the trafc in adulterated liquors, and by
forcing them out Of the market close
up the low groggeries and decrease the
drunkenness and consequent crime

This belief rests upon the assump-

From the Mlddletown Transcript.
The total vote against Republican
ism in the State of New York at the re-
cent election was 46, 22l
We presum, that our valued contem,
porary means that the figures he ha,
given is the majority of the combined
oposition vote against the Republicans
Assuming this to be the fact, upon tn,
same mode of calculation We find tha'
the combined opposition majority ovel
the Democrats in the same State, i.
llj, ,543.
State pride is glorious and patriotic
sentiment, but just why We should not
take as much pride in our State with four
counties as We now do when it has but
three, tie REPUBLICAN man don't Seem to
state The representation scheme pro-
posed by our valued contemporary
wou not be Just to the rural portion
of the county. as by it the city of Viii
mlngton would have nearly one halt
the Representatives. aud could always
rely on the help of those two con.
tiguoua hundreds to WELD her power
oIer the remainder of the county. In
that case, so long as we danced to suit
Wilmington music everything would
move along smoothly, but when we
dldn't there would be trouble all along
the line.
We cannot see why Christiana and
Brandywine, which are emphaticallv
rural districts, should vote with Will
mlngton any more than should Black
bird and Appoquinimink. Repres-n.
tation according to the plan we propos-
ed, would give Wilmington ten men,
bers and the rural districts about the
same, and that is certainly as fair an
We can make it.
From tn Peninsular News.
On the Southern outrage and the
hard money issues, the President has
been induced to cooperate with the old
Republican leaders duling the remain.
der of his administration. The plan Of
campaign is thus already planned on
the part of one party, and the other
can shape its to properly antagoniz4 it.

US what course to pursue on the ques
ton of the division of the county
Should such friends act upon the ad,

treat them with the greatest courtesy
and respect. We shall listen to their
arguments as we always do to every
body, and if they suit our views We vii
adopt them, but if they do not We shall
do as we please in the matter as W.
have always done. This line of policy
suits us and it seems TO suit the peo
pie, if the 5000 REPUBLICANS which
visit their doors every evening are to b.
taken as an indication of satisfaction
If the people did not like the REPUBLI
CANS course upon county division or
any other subject which it sees proper
to advocate, they would not take it. Il

The Herald is unappreciative. Whe1
it condemned the paymeutsof high sal
aries and politicians getting what they
did not earn, we joined hands with it
and stated a case in point where a poll
tcian of New Castle was paid $1,000 70,
examining the index of one of the Coun,
tv records, to prove that the new edi
tor had taken correct position, but
strange to say he does not want any
help in his work. Well the new edi
tor may be silent if he wishes, but We
shall nevertheless support him in his
attack upon overpaid politicians lik,
the $1,000 case referred to.
