Hon. T. F. BAYARD when in this town
last week in an interview with some friends
who were casually met, expressed himself
freely on the political situation. He
thinks that the cry against the National
Banks in wishing to abolish them; the de-
mand for unlimited greenbacks or ire
deemable paper money; the war against
railroads and other large moneyed corpora
tions, labor saving machines, &c, all have
their root and origin in communism
which is assuming large proportions. He
divides it into two branches-Communism
bold and defiant the tendency of which is
destruction, sure and inevitable; and,
"Absolutism," which is q milder form of
the same thing and less dangerous because
it will be under the strong hand that will
have the force to control and manage the
discordant elements. This strong hand he
assumes to be Gen. U. S. Grant, around
whom he thinks these discordant elements
will eventually centre as their standard
bearer in the next Presidential campaign.
There is one thing however that the
Senator seems to have forgotten-Gen.
Grants pertinacity of purpose in "fghting
it out on a single line" The General and
the Senator both, we think, hold exactly
the same views in relation to National
Banks; Gold as the standard value; an
irredeemable Greenback currency; inviola-
bility of property, &C., and we believe both
Senator Bayard and Gen. Grant to be too
much above demagogism to be .consorting
in any form with the wild, irreconcilable
schemes of Butler, Kearney and Schwab.
The following from the PeniaSular Ne,cs,
the organ of the Nationalist" in our
State, taken in connection with the asser-
tions of Senator Bayard above, shows how
terribly the political waters are being mud
died:
1t is now the solemn duty of the anti
resumption Democrats to organize their
party on the proper Democratic platform.
Mr.. Bayard has carried it over to the hard
money Republicans, and it must cooperate
with the Republicans if it stands on the
platform adopted at Dover last Tuesday.
That platform is warmly recommended by
the Republican press of the country and
denounced by the leaders of the Democracy
like Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.. Ewing! Will
Senetor Bayard and the Delaware Democ-
racy support Gen. Grant as the next candi.
date of the conservatives and the money
power of the great cities for the presidency?

DANCING AT REHoBoTH.-The question Of
dancing at the Bright House, Rehoboth, it
appears is not likely to remain undisturbed
after all. Proceedings have been com
menced in the Court Of Chancery against
the lessor and lessee of that hotel with a
view Of stopping dancing there in the
future. Rev. J. B. Quigg appears to be the
prime mover in the action which is brought
to enforce a compliance with the rules of
the Rehoboth Beach Association. An in
junction against dancing was applied for
last Wednesday and preliminary hearing
on the reasons for granting or refusing said
injunction is expected to take place before
Chancellor Salisbury, at Georgetown, Sus-
sex county, some time during the coming
week. c. Ii. B. Day, Esq, will appear as
counsel for the complainants and Jacob
Moore, Esq, for the respondents.

Letter from Fifteen Young Ladies'
HYGENIA House, COLLINS BEACH,

aug. 1Ztl, 1915.
Mr. EDITOR We Wehave received the TINES
of the 7th inst, in which we notice that a
party Of "firteen young ladies and one gen
tleman are rusticating for a week at Col
Inns Beach," We desire to correct your
mistake by referring you to the Register
here, in which you will observe the names
of not only one gentleman but several. As
follows
A. Lee Cummins, Harvey Speakman, E.
L. Haynes, Dr. f. NJ. Cloak, w. G. Pierce,
Sam'l j. Reynolds, VIM. Holding, Robt. H..
Hill, n. f. Wilds, VIM. G. Hill, Smyrna
B. B. Ferguson, Odessa; j. Bison, /. Std
ham, James Robinson, Wilmington Lober
Temple, Philadelphia.
The ladies are "too numerous to men
ton" We are requested to say that the
one gentleman referred to expresses but one
regret-that he is not here alone. The
house we find kept in complete order,
the table par excellant and the proprietors
very attentive. The house is full, but like
the omnibus, there's always ''room for one
more" On the whole we have never spent
a more enjoyable period than we have thus
far spent here. Thanking you for the
space we have occupied in your paper, we
are, respectfully,

THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY DIssoLvING.-It
is reported that there are serious dissen-
sions in the Oneida Community, New York, :,
and several prominent members have with
drawn. John Humphrey Noyes, the foun-
der Of the society, is growing somewhat in
firm, and his personal influence, once so
potent there, is on the wane. The pros
pect is, therefore, that a dissolution of the
organization will soon follow his superan-
nu&tion or demise Indeed, the elements
of such dissolution are already at work in
the strong dissent Of many of the younger
members from the religious doctrines that
have so long formed the bond of cohesion
which has kept the community together
more and more; also the element of pecu-
mary interest is making itself felt in the
affairs Of the organization. The women
look pale, sickly, detected and discontented.
The secessions so far, indeed, have been
mostly of parties wishing to contract mar
riage valid under existing social formularies,
and the number of dissenters from the doc
trine of transient marriage is growing larger
and more influential every month. This is
practically conceded by the leaders of the
community.

the lameness and swelling are fast disap,

tor Edgar Cowan out of his retirement as
candidate for Governor; in Virginia there
are almost as many candidates as there are
voters; in Massachusetts General Butler
threatens both parties, and everywhere
there is a political disintegration. And yet
the fall canvass has hardly begun. Not
half the nominations have been made, yet
is it the exception rather than the rule to
find only two candidates in the field for
any one Office.
Nor is the end yet. The louisiana Demo
Gratis have just adopted platform which is
very certain to split their party to pieces.
Following the example of their brethren in
Missouri and Arkansas, they demand the
repeal of the Resumption act, the initiation
of the currency and the payment of the
debt in greenbacks. They may carry the
State on that platform with the help oi
Republicans, but they cannot keep their
own party together on it. Meantime the
Delaware Democrats honorably and sensi
bly, demand currency of coin, or paper
money redeemable in coin. What do the
Ohio Democrats say to that? And while
in Maine, Michigan and some other States
the Republicans have adopted currency
resolutions precisely like those of the
Delaware Democrats, in other States they
are quietly submitting to the Greenback
and imitation movement.

Five female convicts, two white and
three colored, escaped from the Virginia
penitentiary Sunday night. The prison
houses for females are only ordinary wooden
buildings, and are separated from the main
building, and the escape was easily affected,
the main thing to be done after break
ing through the lathing and plastering Of
the partition being to elude the one guard
stationed in the yard. The three negroes
were recaptured Monday. The whites are
still at large. One of the latter is named
Amelia Roussell, a native of France, who
was sent to the penitentiary from Norfolk
about eighteen months ago for stealing
$1,000 worth of diamonds from Mr.

Gideon J. Tucker must be one of the best

the N. Y. Tribune, to say about the party.
If any other greenback advocate had been
given the chance to write letter of accept.
ance, it is safe to say that the newspaper
does not exist which could contain it. The
National party believes in plenty of words
as well as plenty of money, and there never
was such party before, take it altogether
for uninterrupted gable. But Mr.. Tuck
er, being offered nomination, says simply
that he has received the communication
that he accepts the place on the ticket
and returns "thanks for the high honor
conferred" Mr. Tucker is an old politi
clan, and knows when nomination ISM

The organization of new political parties
at this time is due as much to stagnation
in business as it is to anything else. But
whether times will be improved by the for
nation of Nationals, or Greenbackers, or
Labor Reformers, is an open question.
Just how they are going to accomplish the
restoration of business activity and general
prosperity does not appear. A good many
politicians, like many of our laboring men
and mechanics, are out of employment,
and by the formation of new party they
hope to be able to establish themselves in
Office. They make great professions as to
their friendship for the workingman simply
because they wish to get his vote.
