THE FALsEHooD REFUTED.-It NAV
serve to create a momentary pleasure in
a malicious breast to propagate false
hood; but in the end, like chickens, it is
sure to come home to the roost And
here we apologize to our readers for the
insertion of the following complimentary
words from the Herald, which we are
compelled to do to refute the inuendo
made by the Erery EUening and Com.
n.ercidl to which the Herald refers, as
follows
g 1t is but just to say that the communi.
cation IN the Herald suggesting q. p
johnson, Esq, for Congress, was written
by an old reliable Demo crat, who was
one when it was not fashionable to be so
and we are certain Mr.. johnson was moi
in any way cognizant of the commune
cation. While upon this matter. il is
pertinent to ask why Mr.. johnson would
not make good Congressman He is
honest, his Democracy is unquestioned
he is a good business man, well up upon
all questions which cluster around the
roots of trade. He may not be a good
speaker, but he is not a dumb servitor
He is head and shoulders sinintelligence
and responsibility above many namet
for the office, and we are free to say ,tha
if Delaware is to choose between the ap
pointee of our political dictator and Mr.
johnson, it were wisdom to choose til,
latter"

WILMINGTON, DEL, in fit of econo-
my, has cut down the salaries of its
teachers. The politicians pay has not,
of course, been touched-N. Y. Herald
today.
And what business is it to this coward
ly violator of the laws, who run away to
escape just punishment, if the tax-pay-
ers of this city do refuse to make wide
distinction in wages. A girl that is a
good cook ought to be esteemed as high
ly as girl teaching in the public schools.
No fair-minded, real christian man or
woman dares assert to the contary. This
principle of elevating one class of labor
and degrading another is playing the
mischief with everything. After while
it will be difficult TO find an American
young woman who knows how to cook,
while thousands may be found who are
ready to teach and are dying for place
while they are not able to cook their
own meals. To equalize labor and make
all industrial pursuits respectable, ought
to be one of the efforts of the best and
most wise and intelligent of our people.

We clip from the Baltimore lSltn, of
July 4th, the following extract, showing
marked contrast in the Baltimore aud
Ohio railroad of to-day, with that corpo-
ration of fifty years ago:
A NOTABLE ANNIvERsARY.- just fif-
ty years ago to-day ground was broken
in this city for the construction OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and that
half century has seen at once the birth
of railway enterprise and its highest de-
velopment the world over. 1t was a lit
tie road with big charter that was open
ed to Ellicott City on the 22nd of MAY,
1860, operated by horse power over "a
track that consisted merely of thin strips
| of iron laid on longitudinal sills. But it
was, nevertheless, railroad, and the
next year a steam engir ., advertised for
by the company, and which it specified
'must not exceed three and-a half tons
weight, and must, on level road, he ca
pable of drawing, day by day, fifteen
tons, inclusive OF weight of wagons, fif-
teen miles per hour, was introduced, a
romantic attempt to propel the cars with
| sails having ANONYMOUSLY failed. The
road was wonder then to every body,
pushing its way westward through the
country, striding the rivers, spanning the
valleys and climbing the mountains with
the same indomitable spint. But it was
slow work building railroads half cen
tary ago. AT the thought of LAYING q
rail across the continent from ocean tC
ocean the boldest would have stood
aghast. 1t was not until April /, 1882
that the road +, ached the Point O
Rocks it was December l, 1884, when i
touched Harper's Ferry; November 6
1912, when it tapped Cumberland, an,
not till January -, 1853, did it strike tn
Ohio at Wheeling. But its future ha,
already been forecasted by Charles Can
roll of Carrollton, then the only surviv
ing signer of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, when he lifted the first shove
of earth at the ground breaking and said
81 consider this among the most import
ant acts of my life secondary to that O
signing the Declaration of Independ
ence, if even second to that"

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, out OF
charity, should be liberal enough not to
give too many of their lucrative offices
to one family. Heretofore as many as
three teachers were taken from one fami.
ly. Would it not be better to distribute
the favors around. In calculating the
monthly pay-nine months being the
school year nine should be the divider
and not II. 1t is suspected the Board
has actually raised the salaries instead of
lowering them. Ifso it.has made one step
toward breaking down the schools. The
Board is not composed of heavy tax
payers but of men who hike to spend
other peoples money.

RErRENcHMENT OF NATIONAL Ex-

hEIhENCHMENT Of NAIlONAL En-
PENsEs.-Since it devolves upon the GA
ZETTE to defend the Democratic House
of Representatives against the charges of
the Republican embracing extravaganza,
we shall have to do so in short and stolen
moments from our numerous duties Incl
dent to our approaching city, county and
State campaign.
But in doing so we must first admit
that we cannot defend the action of the
Representative from Delaware. And
here we may assert that we need not do
it in replying to the Republican, since
that paper has more than once asserted
that it approved of Mr.. Williams votes.
We are then left to deal with the action
of the House as Democratic body
omiting Mr.. Williams course entirely,
which we disclaim entirely as averse to
the Democracy of Delaware and the
Democracy of the whole country.
We shall at this time, for lack of time,
space and inclination, say but little more
on the subject further than to add that it
is utterly impossible for the House of
Representatives to carry forward system
of retrenchment and reform whereby the
expenditures are to be reduced, with the
Senate, the Executive and the Cabinet
and all the departments against retrench-
.,.t nl -, nf
travagance. This was tried without sue
cess. 1t cannot be done without the
hazard of deadlock creating great con-
fusion and in the end, it might be greater
expenditures.
Well, the Democratic House in every
case reduced the estimates of the depart
ments, and in every case the Republican
Senate struck out the reductions of the
House and inserted higher rates and it
was only after threatening deadlock in
committees of conference that the House
could secure even the reductions they did
make. Some of them were considerable
and amounted to millions, others were
inconsiderable and amounted to little.
But in addition to the trouble will
the Senate the lobby secured about ,
dozen of the Democratic votes and thu,
defeated the greatest work of economy
the reduction in the Army and the Navy
Hayes wanted to be sustained in hi,
fraudulent seat, and Sherman asked fol
ten or fifteen thousand men. These ar,
in addition to any that are needed to pu
down the Indians; if in fact the Indian
were not stirred up for the purpose O
having the army increased, and prevent
ing the discharge of about half of tn
useless 1900 officers scattered over tn
country doing nothing. Here is wher
the great saving was defeated; here
where the object of the Democracy {
Delaware was destroyed and all our labc
in the campaign for reform and retrencl
ment rendered abortive.
But the Republican approves of tn
extravagant army; and the Democrat
will have to try again to effect reductio
of expenditures and reduction of tax,
tion. With this in view and well express
ed and proclaimed with emphasis by IL
Democratic convention, We hope we sha
be able to enter the campaign again wit
a promise of better success next time.-
Until then, and until we succeed we as
our Democratic farmers and mechanic
and laborers of all classes to have patien,
with us; for by diligent labor in behalf
lower taxes we shall surely succeed
the end.

We have called for the prosecution
Of all the head devils until we are
hoarse. That Chamberlain is a
scoundrel, none convorsant with
the history of South Carolina will
gainsay. The question is whether
he sufficiently covered his tracks to
oscnpe legal conviction by mixed
jury. The query, "who struck

matter of anxious investigation.
Billy's antagonist struck him a.
we'll we won't repeat what sort of
lick, but how, or when, or where

Chamberlain bunged up poor old
South Carolina pretty badly, but he
