FROM REPORTS received from PeDns-
grove of rowdyism and general disor-
der at that place on the Fourth fully it
may be inferred that those from this city
who wanted to indulge in that kind Of
amusement, took advantage of the short
trip and cheap fare to 60 across the
river and there gave lsose rein to their
inclinations. This may be one reason
why comparative quiet reigned in Will
mington. Pennsgrove is one of the
most pleasant and prettiest of the
Delaware river resorts, but like every
other place it is not exempt from dis
order occasionally, especially on such
days as the Fourth of July. This how
ever should not deter our people from
going across the river to enjoy short
ride, and q pleasant dav spent in the
grove. Fourth ofJuly only comes once

The Georgia Democracy don't like
Democrats who go about addressing

candidate who would address crowds at

THE MoRNING HERALD has no doubt

have taken against the caucus nominee
of their own party for Street Commits

ality, goes rigidly for its party right or

tates as the "Herald advocates, would
lead to despotism which would de-
stroy all free agency and make man
but the mere automaton machine to do
party's behest. We are not the de-.
tenders of Messrs. Hart and Paynter,
but these gentlemen being amongst the
most intelligent of their party have no
doubt sufficient cause to justify their
action, and instead of being denounced
for not sanc.iOning something contrary
to their sense Of right and honor, they
should be commended for squarely
standing up in the face of the party
lash and refusing to stultify themselves
by sanctioning something which they
believe to be wrong in principle and
debasing in practice. The integrity
and honesty of a party can only be
m maintained at times by the smashing
of the caucus slate, and as member of
the City Council had made use of his
position n Council to make himself the
nominee of his party for an important
Office these two much abused gentlemen
refused to lend their aid and influence
to such a scheme, and hence this stand.

party caucus. 1t is but seldom that
men are found that have the indepen-

they should be commended.

The CONSTITUTIONAL Convention of
Louisiana Democratic has passed a
resolution sanctioning lottery schemes,
after having already cheated her credi-
tors out of as much money as possible.
1t orders that charters shall hereafter

alton, and the fact that the price is
fixed at $4,000 a year shows how
profitable the trade must be. But the
lottery people will have to make hay
while the sun shines. The convention
has drawn the line at 1894, after which
time the convention apparently expects
that lotteries will have become really
too demoralizing.

AS COLONEL Lynch denounced in un-
measured terms The purchasing of a
horse and carriage for the use of the
Street Commissioner, as a useless ex-
penditnre of money, and to encourage
that officer in laziness, of course
when he is elected he will stump it
around town on foot and the horse and
carriage can be- sold for the benefit Of
the city. There will be that much saw

Charity.

The expediency of practcing charity
in its broadest sense on all occasions
was fully explained by Rev. J. b. Mann,
in Union NJ. 4. church, yesterday morn
ing. From the earnestness he manifes-
ted while expatiating upon this subject,
the nearer might have very properly
inferred that he was thoroughly i'm.
bued with the spirit that acluated
st. Paul when he was writing his
epistle to the Corinthians, and that
he will do his utmost henceforth
to allay the little chickering's and petty
jealousies that have from time to time
the harmony and initiated
against the prosperity of Union M. L.
Church, and all good christians, partic-
ularly those wao claim sanctification,
will certainly most gladly follow his
example, not only in this respect but
in every good work that is pointed out
by Scripture and forcibly commended
by plain common sense. The existence
of kind feeling among church members
is the best evidence of christian charac-
ter, and we may look for increased
prosperity as the fruit of that charity
which "beareth all things, believeth
all things, endureth all things" and
without which professed christians are
as sounding brass or tinkling Gym
bal. There are too many ready to draw
the sword, always ready to- fight on the
least provocation, and too few willing
to bear themselves meekly, to deny
themselves, to walk lowly and humbly,
much less when they are smitten on
the one cheek to turn the other also.
The world may be conquered by the
church militant, but it cal only be
saved through the manifestation of love
and the practice of that self.denial
and virtue commended by Him who
suffered death that all whe believe on
Him may not perish but have eternal
life. There is nothing truer than the
declaration "by their fruits ye shall
know them. Men do no. gather grapes
from thorns nor figs from thistles."

THs FALLING of Of our exports during

The FALLING of Of our exports during
the past six months has given rise to
uneasinsss in some quarters and some
of our leading papers are prepared to
draw inAuspicious omens from that
fact. In looking over the field Of busi-
ness activity however, We can discover
no cause for alarm, but rather congrat-
ulation. Instead OF being bad sign
we look upon 1t as a good sign, and an
indication that trade is once more look
ing up amongst us. 1t looks as If peo-
pie were beginning to buy as well as
sell; that we need some articles that
we cannot longer do without, and that
We can now afford to get them. The
Lancaster "New Era" in reviewing
this matter says, the fact is we have
been pinching and saving until we
have fairly got the better of the hard
times, and seeing better day before us
are loosening our purse strings some-
what. The more liberal our own ex'
the more liberal those of
our customers are likely to be. Besides,
the enormous excess of our exports over
our imports during the past two years
has been altogether abnormal in our
history, and those who believed such
state of things could continue forever
little knew what they were talking
about. Still, although the volume Of
our exports has fallen off somewhat, We
have balance Of $25S, 100000 in our
favor during the past eleven months,
and that is a sum that will bear talking
about. We cannot see any serious cause
for apprehension while We lay the na-
tons of the world under contribution to
that tuue.
