A MAN WANTED.

In Delaware the "anvil chorus" for the
last fifteen years has sung out million q
wear p' ga million yearp and there Will
be no help for it until we get man in the
House who will be worthy of hearing.
All our farmers too are taxed until their
substance is eaten out Let us all demand
change. Gazette.
The Gazette, as the Nestor of the Demo-
cratic press. is entitled and qualified 70
speak out upon the wants of Delaware, and
II ts lust to say that it has in the past fear
lessly spoken its opinions, asking no mans
favor therefor The paragraph we quote,
indicates the greatest of our wants. Our
member in Congress represents State, and
"a such. should be q man OF unauestioned
ability and endowed with high moral
c,urape. The sentiment of Delaware IL
against q standing army of @5,ooo men
with a brigade of officers whose only busl-
ness is to sneer at their bettsrs and threaten
the r,eople. The voice of Delaware hss been
raised against the Gold Bugs" and the
man to represent her should be brave
enough to stand up, armorsd against the
social Influences of the Belmonts, the Man
haitian Club, the foreign bankers and the
vorsbippers of Mammon, who I'LL the lob
bies of Congress, and the parlors Of
I "society" at Washington. The Democracy
Of Delaware have again, and again, pro-
tested aaatnst the swarms Of idlers in the
| departments, and the waste Of public money
bv their chiefs-but the idlers nourisn anu
the drones live upon the 1otsam and Jetsan
Of the government, and Delaware has been
dumb and voiceless against this wantor
and wicked waste of public money.
The past has its lessons FOR the 1uture
Are we to send to Congress either an un
trained or uncultivated man, who is grsnd''
IGNORANT of finance, or any industrial quss
tion or one who is q professional omc'
holder, o disciple of the famous Vicar o
Rrav: or customary lobbyist who mas an

LITTLE HENRY HAPPY.

"Little Henry" met Herald reporter
Yesterday, and said the statement that
Daniel Green was intimate with his wife was
a clear mistake. why God bless you,
honey, my wife Is a lady, and would not
look at Dan Green-he Is NO account"
Warming up. the lllliputian gaint said,
"What for my wife wants Dan Green wnsn
am about" The little fellow then hailed
a good looking mulatto woman, who was
sailing along swan-like, and as straight a.
. poplar, she halted and was introduced as
Henry's spouse. The matron denied ever
sauinting at Dan, and wanted 1t so stated
in the HERALD. The promise WAS given to
make correction, and Henry went on his
way rejoicing, with his wife lovingly looking
down upon him.

THE PENINsULAR RAILROAD WAR

The Smyrna Times says:
The contest between the P, W. & B. r.
R. Co., and the Old Dominion Steamship
line for the carrying trade of the lower part
of the Peninsula still continues. The
former company, however instead of CON-
peting for the Lewis and Rehoboth trade by
the construction of the branch road from
Dover down the east side of the Peninsula
to Rehoboth, via Frederick, Milford, and
Milton, Ia preparing to strike big lick In
another place. This time 1t Is lower down
the Peninsula, and for the oyster and potato
trade of the lower counties of Maryland and
Virginia.
The present terminus of the Old Dominion
Compspy's line is at Franklin, on Chinco-
league Sound, and this gives to them tho
immense oyster trade of that locality. VI
this trade tho p, W. Il B. 10 determined to
have her share at least, and with this view
it is now at work to extend its line from
Psconoke City on the Pocomoke river,
across to the Sound and thence down the
Peninsula 10 Cherry Stone, fifty miles BE-
low. The two lines now run down the Pe-
ninsula nearly parallel, and are only about
twenty miles apart at the farthest, more
places not more than sixteen miles apart,
and if this new enterprise is carried out the
two lines will come together at Chinco>
league.
The p, W. & B. Co. Is now at work,
through its agents, to bring about the im>
mediate construction of this work from
Pocomoke City to the Sound, distance OF
only twelve miles, and this is to he done
this seassn If possible, 50 that the Philadel.
phia company can share the oyster trade Of
the next winter.

AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE LAST EvEM-
JNG-A LENGTHY PROGRAMME. ..
The annual commencement of the Wes-
leyan Female College was held last evening
in the Opera House. Despite the warm
weather the attendance was very large,
almost every seat In the building was taken.
On the stage was seated Rev. Mr.. Wilson,
President of the College; the Board of
Trustees, teachers and several others. The
graduating class, who occupied seats in the
front of the stage, was composed Of the
following: Phoebe Almond, Helen May
Bennett, Harriet Dyson, Nsrristown, Pa;
Pa; Florence 3. Hoffecker, Margaret 8
Hamnersley, Georgetown, Dell; M.

President Wilson opened the exercises by
q few Introductory remarks. Then Misses
Dyson and Bennett played with skill an
overture from Martha.
Mas Hoffecker delivered the salutatory
with an essay entitled Unhewn Pathways,
which she treated after the words Of greet
Ing of the salutatory.
An interesting but vefI lengthy pro-
gramme was then gone through with, 0c-
cupying over three hours and half. The
essays were without an exception very good
and reflected much credit both on the teach
ers and scholars. -.....
The music, both instrumental and vocal,
was above the average. The singing Of the
glee club was really excellent. .......
Miss NJ. Ella Riley, Of this city, In clear
and feeling tone, delivered an essay entitled
"Truth Our Mecca" with Valedictory ad.
dress, which was well received, but In hei
address she made sllusion to the Catholic
religion, which should have been left fol
some other occasion.
President Wilson briefly addressed the
graduates, before conferring the degrees
giving them some wholesome advice.
The scholars repaired to the Collega
where they enjoyed themselves socially fol
some time. ..... ..,.-..
The graduates happy school days ART
now at end, and where they have had many
pleasant hours, in both play and studies
with their dear companions they must par
soon, maybe never to see those faces again
and now enter their worldly cares.

GUILTY"
The case of James Vance was continued
In the u s. Circuit Court yesterday morn
Ing. Upon the assembling of Court at 10
o'clock, Mr.. Gray commenced his argu-
ment for the defense, which was continued
until nearly O'Clock, when the case was
closed, and Court adjourned.
1t met again shortly after 2 O'clock, and
Judge Bradford, IN giving the case to the
jury charged it In substance as follows;
The case which has Just been concluded, is
spoken of In the Revised Code 40 follows,
there the section referred to was read.
The effenso ie great one. and 1t strikes
right at the root of tho foundation Of every
civilized nation, and 1t is not necessary for
me to say much Of Its seriousness. The
question on which the guilt hinges 10 the
passing Of counterfeit money by Caulk,
while IN the company Of Vance The testi-
mony of an accomplice goes to the jury to
receive what might It is entitled to. Such
evidence is to be received with close scrutiny
and caution, and it can have such credence
given to 1t as the jury thinks it merits.
Confederation of evidence 10 that which
confirms, and for evidence to be accepted as
conclusive it is net necessary for It to be
corroborated In every point by that of other
witnesses. Now, the question to be decided
in getting at verdict in this case 10, am I
confident as to the truth of the evidence of
this man Caulk. Ifyou believe that Vance
was In Caulk's company on the night Of
April %, and took active part in passing or
having passed the forged notes, then you
know your duty. The prisoner, in law, ia
entitled to the benefit of every reasonable
doubt, and such doubt Is one which any
fair-minded man can form. 1t Is not q
fanciful or trivial doubt, but something solid
and conclusive. ....r
The jury then retired, and after an ab-
sence of Is minutes, returned with YER
dict of "guilty." ..-. ..,.r, .....
Judge Bradford deferred sentencing the
prisoner until the meeting of Court to-day.
