lessons. On the subject of our preserva-
tion he said:
"Our reliance for the preservation of
republican liberty can only be on the COM
monplace principles, and common-sense
maxims, which lie within the comprehen-
sion of the children in our schools, or of
the simplest and least cultured man or
woman who wields hammer or who plies
needle. The fear of the Lord must still
and ever be the beginning of our wisdom.
and obedience to his commandments the
rule of our lives. Crime must not be un
punished, and vice must be stigmatized
and rebuked as vice. Human life must be
held sacred, and lawless violence and
bloodshed cease to be regarded as a redress
or remedy for anything. 1t is not by
assassinating EmperOrs or Presidents that
the welfare of mankind or the liberty of
the people is to be promoted. Such acts
ought to be eXecrable in the sight of man
as they are in the sight of God. The only
one-man power this country has had to
tremble at is the power of some wretched
mlscreant, seeking spOils but finding none.
with a pistol in his hand, to neutralize and
nulllty the votes of millions, and put a
beloved President to torture and death
The rights of the humblest. as well
as of the highest, must be respected
and enforced. Labor in all its depart-
ments must be justly remunerated and
elevated, and the true dignity of labor
recognized. The poor must be wisely
visited and literally cared for so that
mendicity shall not be tempted into men
daclty, nor want eXasperated into crime
The great duties of individual citizenship
must be ecOnscientiOusly discharged. Peace
order, and the good old virtues of honesty.
charity, temperance and industry must be
cultivated and reverenced. The purity of
private life must be cherished and guarded
ana luxury and extravaganza discouraged.
Polygamy must cease to pOllute our land.
PrOtilgate literature must be scorned and
left unpurchased. Public opinion must be
refined, purified, strengthened and render
eel prevailing and imperative, by the best
thoughts and best words which the press.
the platform and the pulpit can pour
forth. The pen and the tongue alike
must be exercised under sense of moral
responsibility. In a word, the less of
government we have by formal laws and
statutes, the more we need, and the more
we must have, of Individual self-goyern-
ment. But let me add at once that. with
view to all these ends, and as the indis-
pensable means of promoting and secur-
ing them all, universal education, without
distinction of race, must be encouraged.
aided and enforced. The elective fran
chlse can never be taken away from anv
OF those to whom it has once been granted.
but we can and must make education CO.
extensive with the elective franchise: and
1t must be done without delay, as a mea-
sure OF self-defence, and with the general
cooperation OF the authorities and of the
people of the whole country"

The statement comes that Attorney
General Gray and his assistant Cooper,
contrary to the expectations of them, have
been singularly at fault in drawing
loose indictments. This is unfortunate, as
they stand between the people and crime,
and to certain extent are custodians of
the public virtue 50 far at least as it re-
lates to infractions of the law. Thus
Jacob Levy, who has been almost cOntin-
ually in the courts for years for his frac-
tious disregard of law, escaped again last
week at Dover because the indictment
was defective in not laying 'continuendo," :"
his attorneys contending that there was
no such game as a game of chance called
cards." and that the States Attorney
ought to have made his indictment read

ting one offense.

carried phosphate an bulk for q Baltimore
manufacture to their agent in Savannah
IhIs phosphate was bagged on the wharf
OF the Georgia Central Railroad and
wheeled into the warehouses near bv or
INTO the cars to be transported into the in
terror. The mode of bagging, is for the
phosphate to be poured on the wharf and
a gang of hands placed bags on the scales
ana hlled them: two and sometimes three
gangs. working at the same time. Some
times the phosphate is poured directly
from the barrows through hoppers into
the bags on scales.
The phosphate from the vessel I was
aboard was poured into bags which were
brought from the North, was told bv the
hands, already printed. The bags were
all hlled out of the same bulk lot and

The State paper of Secretary Blaine in
which he practically says "hands off, to
the European powers disposed to meddle
IN the Panama Canal question is eliciting
considerable remark across the water
The London Times reminds Us that Eng
land us at once a' '''"-.c and Pacific
power" but MIR. Blaine says:
" The United States of America will in
sist upon her right TO take all needful pre-
cautions against the possibility of the
Isthmus trainsit being in any event used
Extensively against her interests upon land
or sea-" While Blaine's declaration is
entirely satisfactory to the American peo-
pie, it is evident, says the Tribune, that
emergencies may arise in which we must
be prepared to back it up by force, or by
that compulsion which nations sometimes
find sufficient without resorting to acts of
war. A joint guarantee with England
and France, or either of them, would
cause us to lose all the advantage in the
political control of the canal which our
position as the foremost nation on the
American continent and the magnitude
OF our possessions upon both oceans, gives
us the right to claim. For this reason we
decline such an alliance. Standing upon
the treaty of 1916, Mr.. Blaine maintains
that, the United States and Colombia
having agreed to joint guarantee of any
canal to be opened through the Panama
lsthmns, we are justified in rejecting the
demand of any other Nation to be admit
yea as party to a contract which this
government had the foresight 10 make
thirty-fve years ago.

y WRITER in the Morning Ne,rs, which

n. B. Smithers, as proper appointment
TO succeed Justice Clifford as one of the Su-
preme Court Judges. Mr.. Smithers legal
abilitiesare eeverywhereacknowledged, and
we believe such an appointment would be
gratifying to the entire State of Delaware.
The claim rests not so much on the fact
that our State has never been represented
on the Supreme Bench as the other fact that
Mr.. Smithers' judicial mind peculiarly fits
him for the position.
