Mrs. Watson at sIiddIet ,wn

The Middletown Transcript has evil
IDENTITY not been favorably impressed
with Mrs. Watson judging from the
following which appeared in to-day's
paper:
Mrs. J. d. Watson ''lectured" in the
Town Hall. last Sunday afternoon, to a
fair audience, the larger proportion of
whom were young people. Her dis
course was principally Autobiography
cal. and was neither interesting nor
well delivered. So pu. it plain. it was
a disjointed conglomeration ofincongru-
tiles, poorly constructed, badly spoken;
and as tame as new cider. Whatever
may be Mrs. Watson's mission it GER
tainly is not the successful advocacy of
the cause of temperance upon the ros
trum. If she believes that it is her
duty to devote the remainder Of her
lite to the reformation of fallen women
she should seek the proper field, in the
large cities of the country. There are
no fallen women-no female drunkards
in the quiet towns of Delaware, and
Mrs. Watson's reformatory efforts in
this section were altogether uncalled
for, and her self-invited visit here is
Justly considered piece of inexcusa.

Senator Bayard Resigns.

The Democratic Senators held eau
Gus ON the Warner Silver bill, with a
view to effecting compromise. A new
matter for consideration, however, was
presented by tender on the part of
Senator Bayard of his resignation as
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
offered by him on account of remarks
made in caucus ahd elsewhere by some
OF his colleagues to the effect that the
committee should be reorganizcd to ac-
cord with the views of the majority Of
the party on the silver question.
A long discussion ensued, similar in
most of its features to that which took
place in last Mondays caucus, but
bringing out also decided opposition
on the part of number of the silver
men themselves to the acceptance of
Mr.. Bayard's S resignation. At the close OF
the discussion it was agreed to refer the
whole subject to committee, consisting
of Messrs. Thurman, Mcdonald and Gar.

course, Clarke refused to do, but in
stead ran down French street to Front

under car on Water street, when the
officer pulled him out of his hiding
place, and conducted his prisoner to

The Republican outlook.

The Republican outlook in California
grows brighter every day. The quarrel
bet VI Ell the two factions of the Work
ingmen's party is growing in bitterness,
and all chance for agreement upon a sin.
gle ticket is out Of the question. The
Democrats are badly denoraliAed, and
are trying to form coalition with the
Honorable Blk wing Of the Working
mems party. The only party of the
four which is well organized in all parts
of the state, is the Republican. Its
leaders are confident of victory, because
they have faith that the other three par
ties can be depended on to kill each
other. 1t looks now as if the Republicans
would carry the State and control the
Congressional delegation.

The crop Of cherries in Brandywine
Hundred will be very poor this season
Usually a great quantity is shipped
from this place, and in one instance @
well known farmer who annually dis.
poses of $500 worth, will this season
only realize about $40. The troubl.
seems to lie in the existence of a serious
rot, which causes the fruit to drop from
the stem as soon as it attained any
