Editors laakson Press and Dakosatiaa:
The Temperance tide 10 at the full. We
wish BOW TO say . word on the other side
OF The question. To look At the situation
calmly and dispassiopately. To that end
We will quote the words OF Nj. Rhodes
published In the Galaxy of come months
ago. Rhodes says:
THE stirring appeals of an elusive
orator may induce men to sign the pledge,
but the tongue OF IN ANGEL will not keep
the majority of them from breaking It.
Self-reliantly they call the public to bear
witness to the pledge which they make,
liam, han before"
DID these pledge papers also bear . pen.
atty for the payment of q given sum. 10 the
event of the promise being broken, they
would not be considered worth quoting 10
the money market; and this gives Q fair
idea of the little value they possess. Each
time that the drunkard breaks his pro.
mise he falls back further than before, and
may not afterwards be re habititated NOR
ally up to the level Of his first pledge. He
is set on q pair Of tottering legs in haste'
and before they have been sufficiently
strengthened to bear him.
Such strength is only acquired by q
laOorious education I o which time and
trial is indispensable. The implusive re.
solutions which spring into life under the
words of an effalgent speaker and the ex.
element of q crowd, are seldom enduring.
The calm determination that is born
within-without the hot and contagious
feeling Of a public meeting Is worth q score
of snch.
Impulsive men are generally the first
who move from out the crowd to sign q
pledge and in almost every case they are
the first to ignore and break it. Upon this
subject, with your permission, q just con
clusion appears to be: After looking over
what has been done in the way of reform,
that the popular notion Of dealing with the
evil of intemperance, from alcoholic bsver.
ages, 10 only temporary In it's effects, and
like Topping off branches that sprout again.
In short the " total abstinence" theory is
against all hnman experience, and thous.
ands Of years have proved It's futilty. 1t
never has and Y will reform q people
addicted to the use and abuse of strong
liquor. Yet, If the same persistency were
employed in any of the other affairs Of
life in the face of such adverse experience
1t would be characterized as unenlightened
and foolish obstinacy.
The light, reaching back through past
centuries, seems to serve no purpose
and the d.unkard is still a drunkard! We
will further speak. For the present we
think We have said enough to convince
men of calm thought that feverish inova.
tons seldom amount to practical good.

The Household OF Faith.

Since the rupture at Asbury Nj. X.
Church which resulted in the withdraw
ing of the pastor, Rev. George r.. Kra-
mer, and the organization of a series of
meetings in a tent that was erected on
the lot at Fourth and Lombard streets,
the movement continued to increase, un-
til an organiz zation was effected and set
of officers were elected. -a -es
Finding that the tent was too small to
accommodate those who attended, the
officers concluded to rent the second story
of the McClary building, where the meet
ings have been held for sometime past
Both the membership and attendance
continued to increase until the room is
inadequate to accommodate those who
desire TO attend.
At a recent meeting of the trustees
a committee was appointed to select a
suitable room in which to hold the meet
ings. The committee learning that the
corporators of Trinity Church, corner of
Fifth and King streets, would sell that
edifice if they could obtain their price for
it, the committee are now negotiating fol
the property, but with what results will
be known in few days. The congrega-
ton of Trinity Church desire to sell for
the purpose of building new church
further up town, so as to be nearer the
majority of the attendants.

The Philadelphia Tines Almanac for
1878 has been received at this office. 1t
is filled with complete election tables and
various other items of information relat-
ing to State and national governments.
In referring to the Government of Della
ware, however, the almanac makes sew
eral grevious errors, as follows: "Ed-
ward Gilpen" is announced as the Chief
Justice of the Superior Court, whereas
Judge Gilpin has been dead for more
than a year and Hon. j. p. Comegys is
the Chief Justice "Edward Walton,"
instead of Edward Wootten, is announc-
ed as an Associate Justice, and Associate
Justice Houston is classed as a Demo-
crat !; the State School Superintendent is
called James Il. "Grooyes," instead OF
Groves. Aside from these errors the

government of Delaware.

THE SILVER QUESTION IN THE SENATE
A VOTE EXPECTED TODAY. p" =
The impression prevails that the Sem
ate will vote upou the resolution Of STAN
ley Matthews, declaring the right Of the
government to pay the Interest and prin-
cipal of the bonds in silver, before adj
journment tomorrow. The friends of the
measure claim that it will be passed with
out amendment and 1t will then go to the
House Of Representatives for the concur
now absent are Messrs. Patterson, Sharon,
ingalls, and Garland. Mr.. Patterson is
detained at home by sickness, and Mr..
Sharon has not been in attendance this
session. Messrs. ingalls, and Garland
have been absent from the city recently.
The pending question is on the motion
Of Mr.. Conklng to make it joint reso-
luton instead of concurrent one, so
that it must receive the approval of the
President to become law.
After that amendment shall have
been disposed of the amendments of
Messrs. Edmunds and Morrill,, heretofore
published, will be voted upon in the or
der named.
The bill to authorize the free coinage
of the standard silver dollar ami to re-
store its legal tender character (known as
the Bland Silver bill will then be taken
up in the Senate. Several Senators who
have spoken upon the Matthews resolu-
luton confined their remarks to the ri sht
of the governmel to pay its bonds in
silver will again speak as to the expedi-
ency of ,remonetizing silver.

been many years In California and
Australia before coming here, and from
the color OF the earth Is positive that he
has discovered the genuine stuff. A

this week we dropped in to see our old
friend, Geo. S. Hagany, Esq, at 500
Shipley street. Mr.. Hagany is one OF
Wilmington's best Justices of the Peace,
is a quick and active man, and seems
really to enjoy life highly. The Squire
informed us that Thursday was his
birthday, but we could not induce him to
tell us his age. We guessed 40, and he
nodded assent.-Le,ois Light.
