| " 3e.ccting Delegates,
Cur leaders will excuse any spirit
OF dictation which might seem to ap-
pear in our editorial columns. A
deep interest in the welfare of the
Democratic party and its ultimate
success is our only excuse. knowing
The Importance Of unity basednpon a
perfect harmony between the voters
# The party, we should try to destroy
ihs elements Of discord by pointing
out these features in our system
which, we believe, heretofore were
prime causes OF discomfort and per
!aps of projected Independent move
ments. there is ever TO be time
when perfect unity Of action should
obtain, tl,at time is the present cam
pa!gn. Not on.y The supremacy OF
The party and The individual rights Of
the citizens are involved in its results,
hut The existence of the government
and the Gutule Of the country depend
upon the manner in which every citi-
zen casts his vote. in the face Of u
strongly organized party as The Radi-
calls Of the South. composed of igno.
rant individuals who arc controlled not
by principle but by a blind devotion
amounting to superstition, the Demo

be disunitcd. If they would continue
The supremacy now crjoycd, or the
prosperity smiling upon our people:
or the benefits Of an honest govern
mcnt, they dare not play with Indie
pcndentis.n i'll any shape whatever.
Therefore TO secure The further pos.
cssion Of these blessings it becomes
necessary for every Democrat to
make his allegiance to his party Il
personal tinCy more binding upon him
than any social or business relation
he may have formed. With this prn-
ciplc as Il guide no Democrat should
vote for any delegate to the County
Convention for any consideration save
his fitness for The Office. Send men
here who will represent, not the lead
crs Of the party, but The collective
ycomanry Of the party---mcn, who
will be The opponents, not Of the SEN
timcnl Of fraction, but OF the princi-
pies Of the party. Convenience ough,

principle is the essential. The one
looks 10 the success Of the leader he
serves, or the sentiment he represents 4;
while the other desires the triumph Of
principle and the dominance OF party.
The one pandcrs TO rings or cliqucs
and deals in trickcry, while the other
secures The confidence Of all alike and

Breach of Promise Suits.

The question has recently been dis
cussed in England whether it would
not be wise to do away with the right
of action for breach of premise of mar
riage. At the last session of parlia-
ment motion was carried in the
House of Commons declaring that the
action ought to be abolished, except
VIXEN actual pecuniary loss has been
incurred by reason of the promise, in
which case the recoverable damage
should not exceed tho pecuniary loss.
This sentiment is based on the allega-
ton that the right of maintaining an
action for breach of promise is often
most scaHdalously abused. A recent
case of this kind was cited in the House
of commons. A woman sued clergy,
man for breach of promise. She was
35 and he was Is years old. He denied
that he ever promised, intended, or
wanted to marry her. She procured a
witness to corroborate her story. The
clergyman was mulcted in $3.50 dam
ages. 1t was afterwards proved that
the plaintiff was an abandoned woman,
who had been convicted of theft, and
had attempted to blackmail two other
persons by threatening actions for
breach of promise. In another case, a
scoundrel brought an action of breach
of promise against a lady for the sole
purpose of extorting money from her.
Ard he succeeded, ,sfor she preferred to
Say the villain S5 5000 to having her
letters read in ceurt and published in
the newspapers, There is no doubt
that this right of action is subject to
grave abuses, and that it has given
rise to many scandaleus cases. But,
on the other hand, it is equally un
questionable that, when properly used,
it is means of getting justice. 1t is
a remedy that has been, and will be,
generally sought by women, who are
certainly entitled to adequate means of
legal redress vixen they have been
wronged and injured by the arbitrary
breaking of marriage engagements.
The law governing such actions may
need amendment so as to prevent the
evils which have aourished under 1t;
but the total abolition of the right
would cause more mischief than it
would prevent. An important reform
in the law was made in 1860. Prior to
that time neither of the principals in a
breach of promise case could testify.
1t will be remembered that the in ured
Mrs. Bardell was not allowed to tell in
evidence of i" the revolving heartless-
ness and systematic villainy" of the
ruthless destroyer of the domestic
oasis in the desert of Goswell street"
nor did the law permit the heartless
Mr.. Pickwick to explain on the witness
stand the meaning of his "chops and
tomato sauce" " and warming pan.
The act of 1869 opened the witness
box to both plaintiff and defendant in
a breach of promise case, with the pro-
viso, however, that q verdict shall not
be recovered unless the testimony of
the plaintiff is corroborated by some
other mats rial evidence.-N. Y. Times.

To prevent cake getting dry-Give
the small boy access to the pantry.
To keep bread from molding-Give
it to the poor woman who keeps board

To cleanse brass-Turn the hydrant

To make your chimney draw-send
it to Boston school where it can have
the advantage Of regulation instruction.
To remove spots of grease. oil or fat
from woolens-Saturate the cloth with
kerosene of naphtha, and press it with
hot iron on the wrong side. Then
treat it with lighted match. This is
the only sure way to remove grease
from woollens. :

Last Words.

A family of notable housekeepers in
farming district of New England,
where good housekeeping is reckoned
the corner stone of all womanly virtue,
were won't to tell with pride the last
lay a-dying.
Reckoning feebly to her son, she
whispered, "Take cambria handker-
chief out of my drawer, go to the par
lor, and rub it over the center table.
1 am afraid it has not been busted to-
day, and all of the neighbors will be
crowdiag in when I am dead" de
obeyed her, and brought back the
handkerchief spotless in its whiteness.
She nodded, satisfied, closed her eyes
and died in peace.
To most people it may seem horrible
that an immortal being should go forth
to meet her Maker with no higher
thought than the dust on parlor table
but the horror and loss and pity lie not
in the devotion to paltry nothings in
the moment of death, but through the
preceding long years Of life. A neat
house, good cookery, tasteful dressing
and business affairs are all good useful
things in their place in life, but their
place is but subordinate one. When
men or women give their whole life,
thoughts and affections to one of these
pursuits they will probably cling to
the rotton earthly thing even as their
souls go trembling out in the presence
of the Almighty.
A superstitious feeling that the rul-
ing passion is strongest in death has
caused men to preserve the last words
OF most eminent people. They have
often been highly characteristic.

But the truth is, dying words are apt
to refer to mere bodily sensations, and
in any case matter but little. 1t is eur

The End of a Practical Joke.

The Western papers brought us an
acc4unt, u few weeks age, of the trag
ical ending of practical joke.
Two gentlemen entered the apart
ments occupied by one of them, a
young man inordinately fond of quiz
zing or teasing. He told his friend
of the rooms was in constant terror Of
burglars, adding
He thinks that I am out of town.
Let us upset the chairs. open the desk,
and hide in the bathroom, to see what
he will do"
His friend demonstrated, but he per-
sisted, disarranged the furniture and
papers, and then, pushing his guest
before him into the bathroom, closed
TIE door just as the old janitor came in.
Supposing his master had been
robbed, the negro tried to open the
bathroom door, and finding the rob-
bers, as he thought, within, he went
for pistol, and fired through the door,
killing the poor young joker dead at
the first shot.
Now no practical joke could, appar-
emily, have been more innocent and
harmless than this. But, in fact, no
practical jokes are innocent or harm
less. They invariably play upon the
cowardice, ignorance, superstition, or
some other weakness of others, for the
selfish amusement of the joker.
Their danger cannot be estimated
beforehand, simply because the weak
ness or anger of the victims is an un-
known quantity.
In farming districts, a favorite
amusement of young people with va
cant minds is to dress as ghosts, de-
nous, etc.. and go about frightening
children. Epilepsy or lifelsng nervous
disease is often the result.
There is another kind of practical
Jokes. legalized in college by long Gus
tom, Just as senseless and dangerous.
Such, in the University of Pennsyl
vania, for example, as "bowl-day,"
when two classes fight over the body Of
the youngest honor boy" one to put
him into an enormous wooden bowl,
the other to keep him out. The clothes
ana limbs of the victim are torn and
dragged as by pack of wolves.
Mile. Sarah Rernhardt is described
as suddenly taking into her head the
resolution to become sculptor. She
began at l o'clock in the morning, just
after returning from the theater, and
for a model she took her old aunt,
Madame Bruck, who was reused, grum-
bling, from sound sleep to sit until 6
O'Clock, having her ancient features
put into clay.
