WHEN oil and water will mix Senator
Bayard will perhaps be successful in an
effort to make tumble out of the poll
cies of the two great parties that will be
acceptable to the Democratic.party. But
the Delaware Democracy will not be
likely to accept of the "Civil Service
doctrines he proposes in his Newport
"charity" discourse; the best part of
which is that it was made to serve the
purpose of aiding worthy M. E. Chris
tian church. in an effort to pay Its debts.

MThe Republican charged the murder in
Mary McCann's house to the account OF
John P. Almond, who never was near
it; nor were any of his friends or his
partizans, and yet Charles Ii. Gallagher
has the effrontery, while rpleading his
own case to-day, and begging pardon, tc
declare that the Republican dealt len
emily with Mr.. Almond. Could such eff
trontery be eXcelled? ?
The daily gazette., 1878-09-03

SENATOR BAYARD's proposition to re-
duce the number of officers and MAIN
tain the present rate of high salaries and
extend the terms of office, will not be
likely to become popular. 1t is not logi-
cal when applied to our form of govern
ment, and leads directly to Col. Forney's IS
idea advanced through the Philadelphia
Press at the termination of the war, that
the institutions of our country should be
changed and be republican in form only.
Now, we unhesitatingly assert that the
Democracy of Delaware are in favor of a
reduction in salaries as well as reduc-
ton in the number of officers whe hive
upon the government, performing often
imaginary service, and mostly but four
or five hours work day instead of ten
hours work day, as performed by other
people in the stores, the mechanics
| shops and on farms. Even then the
| advantage would be greatly with the
government officer. He gets higher pay
he loses none of his pay-he loses nc
time-not day in four years. Nor does
he have to hunt work in all that time
These are important considerations. II
we were to say to the Senator, Qor whom
| our readers well know we have ever held
and advanced the highest opinion, and
hence we do not like TO differ with him, ),
carry your proposition out to its logical
termination where it reaches all classes,
| which would certainly release us of one
| Senator, he would no doubt say reductiO
nd absurdum. And we might agree in
this. We only cite the case to show that
the proposition is not broad and states
manlike. 1t only reaches a part of tn,
evil, whereas reduction of the salarie:
would reach the whole until it touched {
grade where reduction should not be ap
piled. The average pay of our mechan
les and laborers is not more than $500
year, while there is hardly a man EN-
ployed by the government that does no
get double the pay he got before he wa
given an office.
We believe that the debt of the gov
ernment must be paid by economy if i
is paid at all and we are therefore in ia
vor OF rigid, economical measures, com
mencing with the cutting down of al
high salaries, the discharge of all unne
cessary officers, and a commensurate re
duction of taxation.
Senator Bayard's remarks upon tn
tariff are commendable. Our farmin
population ought to be allowed to di,
pose of their products abroad through a
, exchange of commercial commodite
This would give them in the aggregat
immense sums of money with which t
employ labor and buy implements {
R husbandry and some of the luxuries the
o are now compelled to do without and
II pay higher prices for all necessary art
q cles.
The daily gazette., 1878-09-03

SENATOR SAULsBURY's organ ought
not to doubt the GAZETTE's sincerity in
its advocacy of economy because it wants
an ice pier at the mouth of the Christi
ana with bridge to itI to make our har-
Dor more secure for commerce and TO in
crease our facilities to get to Dover town
and all other pretty places along the

JOHN w. HALL, our candidate for
Governor, is one Of those practical men
whose experience In the business world,
by reason of his struggle from boyhood
against many adverse circumstances to
wealth and independence, is so well fitted
to be the Chief Magistrate that he will in
all probability be elected without an OPP
ponent. lie is withal an active member
of religious society; but so liberal in
his views toward all other societies that a
man might converse with him fora month
and not know with which denomination
he worshiped, yet so self-schooled in
obedience to law and discipline that he is
one of the most mindful of all the obli-
cations he owes. 1t will certainly be a
pleasant thing in after life to Mr.. Hall to
call to remembrance the fact that he was
chosen to be Governor by the whole peo-
pie white and colored although the Dem
ocratic party was the instrument through
which he was placed at the head of his
brave little State.
There may be no necessity for Mr..
Hall making a canvass Of the State !;
nevertheless it is hoped that after short
time he will at least visit New Castle
county and our own city that the people
may make his acquaintance. In the two
lower counties he is so generally known
and is so frequently required in the vari-
Gus towns, that an active canvass on his
part may be wholly unnecessary.

A Weeping Alligator.

Mr.. Philbrick, among many other
living euriosities, Possesses an alligator
about half grown and an infant which
Is old enough TO crawl and 90 about the
ward unattended. A strange attachment
existed between the alligator aud the
infant. the former being no docile that
the friends frequently spent hours dur
ing the day in playing with each other.
The alligator would amble clumsily to
his tank, take q sportive dive. and re-
turning. he would embrace the little one,
so to speak. and give uumis,akable evi-
denee OF delight in receiving tender
caressss in return. SO secure seemed
the friendship between them that MIR:
Philbrick never thought OF harm, and
left the playmates to themselves to pass
the time "a suited their inclination. The
friendly relations did not last long. how
ever. for Mr.. Pbilbrick was startled
about 10 o'clock ON Wednesday last by
asonizing screams coming from tho back
ward. and rushing out, he found to his
horror that the alligator had bitten the
little fellows arm almost entirely on,
the fraction Of limb dangling by q slen-
der bit Of cuticle. The poor suffering
little thing moaned and wspt bitterly.
aud the alligator seeing the distress he
had created. cawled up to his victim
and shed copious tears OF sympathy,
his erpressionless countenance giving
him the appearance OF snbdued and
sentimental ass. Mr. Philbrick severed
the lacerated member. dressed the stub
carefully. and the animal Is now able to
wadile about on three legs. We have
often heard Of crocodile tears, but
until Mr.. Philbrick's statement our faith
in their existence could have been easily
shaken.

An ethiopian Changing. III. Skin.

Several thousand years ago, when the
world was In its Graded infancy. q gen.
tleman named Jeremiah. who was cele-
brated throughout Israel as q prophet.
asked this question one day IN the
midst OF his talk "Can the Ethiopian
change his skin p" We confess that
we don't know Why be asked this ques.
ton. but IL IL q question which remained
unanswered throughout the ceaseless
ages, until ut last the nineteenth GEN.
fury. with all its wonderful achieve
msnts, comes to the front with a solu'
ton To the inquiry. AMI we are happy to
inform Jerry that u can be did'
aud hal he been with freS
reporter last Saturday he would have. no
doubt. been satisfied OF the truth OF this
statement. On that day reporter OF
the IrSs met George Scott. who lives
ON a farm near Paynesyille. in this
county. His peculiar appearance at
tracted the reporters attention, the Pc
culiarity being n half-white and half
black face. In response to inquiries, be
stated that he was eiehty-eight years
old, and had u vile and thirteen chill
dren.
During slavery times he was the prop
erty OF John Cartrr. OF this county.
Thirty years ago the skin around his
mouth and on portions Of his body COM
menced to turn white, and since that
time slowly and gradually the dusky hue
81 his person has been changing into
the fair tint Of the Ane'o-Saxon race.
until how, with the exception OF the
upper part Of his face and few spot',
he il entirely white. He stated that his
black skin did not peel OF. but gradually
changed its hue. He came from Abe
marie county, Virginia, when youth.
and with the exception OF an attack OF
small. pox, he hal never been sick IN his
LIE. Aud herein is another remarkable
feature Of the case. for tho pits which
were lef, ON his black skin by the raw.
ages OF that disease. have disappeared
wherever the skin has become white.
Altos.ther. he Is a wonderful specimen
of natures freaks. and should he live a
few years longer there will be nothing
black about him except the whites OF his
ewes. es.-LOuisiand IreSs.
