The Chronic Kicker.

This angelic individual, whose pres
ence is not confined to Wilmington, but
who exists wherever parties find foot
ing, is thus completely described by the
Anderson, Indiana, Democrat:
The chronic kicker is ordinarily a
born enthusiast. He is forever at ex-
tremes. He is either in aparoxysm OF
delight or frenzy Of rage. His piping
little reed is always heard squeaking
dissonantly high above the resonant
trbmpets OF bigger men in Convention.
lie saws and cleaves the circumambient
air upon the street corners. he is deep
in the ways of cliques. When heavy
load is to he lifted he always gets the
long end of the hand-spike and Justify
shouts, ,'up with her boys II he don't get
his end Of the spike he sulks and speaks
of the ingrstitude offriends. He is as in
dustrious as a gnat, and about as useful,
and fully as entertaining. He arrogan.ly
questions the loyalty efgentlemen to the
true faith, although he himself never
voted a straight ticket in his life. AS a
ay adds to the strength of ointment or
the flavor of treckle so is the kicker to
his party. He is as companionabie as a
bed-bug and about as great nuisance.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

MR.. EDITOR Theory and prac-
tice are two things of much impor-
tance to understand. And when
men have theory and no practice
they hardly ever are as we'll quail
fed to lead others by their views as
those men who have had their theory
tested by practice. Men who have
had their theory tested by practice
have learned more than those who
have never seen their theories put in
practice.
What every theory practice proves
to be sound should be considered
worth remembering. And if men
could be convinced once that there
is no theory sound which practice
will not sustain then there would be
lest effort made by inexperienced
persons to run down theory which
practice has already proven over
and over again to be sound.
The theory of our government was
based on justice and pracSical appli-
cation that theory proved it to be
sound. Therefore that old theory
is yet worth remembering; because
it was hard road to travel to get it
established; and once forsaken there
Is no telling when the same sound
theory may be established again; be-
cause but few business men care to
fight for justice on the theory that
this government was first established
as long as they can help it because
they know it means a case of conf
delce between themselves and those
who are ignorant to make good citi-
zens in time of danger or in time of
revolution.
Now is the time to expose all
manner of false theories by manly
argument and not wait till some pol
itical devil in the ranks Of the CAM
paign again gets the bride on the
"white horse" honestly elected by
the people just as he did before and
the excitement becomes too great
for the proper enforcement Of an
honest investigation guided by the
old theory on which our present form
of government was established.

american Beer abroad,

The export of American beer and
ale in casks has remained nearly
stationary for a number of years,
and, In fact, the number of gallons
exported last year was not as large
as in 1878 or 1877, and the value of
such expectations last year was
nearly $4,000 less than Of the ex-
portation in 1878. On the contrary,
the export of our ale and beer in
bottles has doubled from year to
year for several years past, and is
and is likely to increase for years to
come in as great proportions. In
1870 this now fourishing trade was
almost unknown to us. In that year
the total shipments consisted of 1076
dozen bottles, valued at $2250. In
1879 there were shipped l25,873
dozen bottles, valued at 1904 ,282.
This increase in ten years has been
wonderful. During the year 1879
the principal consumers of our bot
tied liquors were the people of the
Spanish-American countries. Mexi-
co took "a ,243 dozen bottles Brazil,
II ,490 dozen bottles; Cuba, 1865
dozen bottles. England bought of
us only 1014 dozen bottles, and
France patronized us to the meagre
extent of 372 dozen bottles. Gel
many took $50 dozen bottles, which
was like carrying Goals to New
castle, but it is believed she will
want double that quantity this year.
There Is hardly South American
country but bought Of our bottled
beer or ale, and it was also sent
to Janpan, China, Russia, Dutch
Guiana, Spain and the British Pos
sessions in Africa. While this trade
is being rapidly built up to our
profit, the official figures show that
our importation of foreign beer and
ale is not increasing. In 1872 we
imported l,989,7l3 gallons, valued
at 81 ,485,78l. In 1875 we imported
2,l67 ,251 gallons, valued at $1.742,-
120. In 1877 the importations drop
ped to 974,277 gallons, in 1873 to
767 ,709 gallons, and last year mount
ed to 897 ,487 gallons, valued at
$6S8,806. AS our malt liquors be-
come more widely known the de-
mand for them is sure to increase,
until, if the present high standards
are kept up, they will become the
favorites in countries that now buy
almost wholly of England and Ger
many and the importation of foreign
beer into the United States will be
of insignificant proportions.-Boston

MR.. EDITOR In the special cor
respondence of the EUery EUening of
the 31st ultimo there is letter from
Georgetown in which reference is
made to me as a candidate for Sheriff

ticket in this county at the ensuing
election, and further intimating that
my political opinions have undergone
radical change in few years.
For the benefit of said rGrG aUiS or ar

to say that never heard such thing

of reverie never entertained such an
idea. This is not the first time l have
been thrust before the public in false
light by the correspondent of said pa
per. Two years ago a similar letter
appeared which did not see proper to
notice, and although it is true have
not been as active in politics for the
last two campaigns as formerly, owing
to the disregard shown by rings and
cliques to the wishes and welfare OF
the masses, and chicanery and duplici-
ty practiced to secure the personal and
ambitious ends of few self-styled
leaders, whose political views are ever
graduated by mercenary motives, my
political sentiments and opinions are
the same as in days of yore.
still hold that this Government was
created by the white man and in the
main for his benefit that the power
to confer or restrain the right of suf-
frage is an inherent right of State
sovereignty that the military power
should ever be subordinate to the civil
authority !; that all property should be
subjected alike to tax for the support
of government and that the bond

CHANGE IN THE RULES.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
NEW CASTLE, August 4, 1880
A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held last evening in Shawtown, at the
headquarters of Company A, Hancock
and English club, of this hundred. At
tor explaining the reason for the call OF
the meeting, a general exchange o1
views and opinions on the sun1ect OF the
change in the party rules was INDUCED
in. aud on MOTION committee of i've
was appointed TO draft resolutions ex-
pressing the sentiments of Company A.
The committee, after consultation,
reported the following, which were
adopted without dissenting vote:
Whereas, At the last county meeting
of the Democratic party of New Castle
county, petition was presented asking
for a change in the party rules as regards
the nominating of sheriff, coroner, mem
bers of the Legislature and Levy Court
commisSi iOners.
Resolved, That we condemn the move-
ment and look with distrust upon the
signers and with contempt upon the
Resolved, That this change (such as
asked for) is fraught with danger 10 the
party on attempting to deprive a major
ity Of its voters from choice in select
ing public officials.
Resolved, That in it we foresee the be-
ginning of a system of Capitalization and
Ca sarism which is not in accordance
with the principles of Democracy.
Resolved, That the petition to change
the party rules is, as is to be seen by the
signatures, an attempt on the party by
Office holders and would-be office hold
ers to subvert the good of the many for
the benefit of the few.
Resolved, That we use every endeavor
to defeat this attempt to abridge our
rights, and call upon our Democratic
brethren throughout the county to be up
and doing before they be deprived Of
the right of nominating by ballot pub
| tic officials.
