How refreshing it is to see the advance
ment made in morals in our town within
ten years time; and this is to be attributed
to the efforts of the Temperance people to
stay the tide of inebratiOn that was likely
to deluge it.
How many man-traps have been demOl-
ished in different sections, thus rendering
those places quiet, decent and harmless,
where noise, revelry and profanity were
heard on Saturday nights, and continued
until the Sabbath morn was ushered in.
Still the work is not finished Liquor
is sold, and removed in bottles from the
premises and drunk in other places. The
liquor venders houses are licensed or they
are not. If they are licensed the liquor
is to be drunk on the premises only. If
they sell in bottles to be carried away,
their license can be taken away from
them.
If the evil complained of, does not apply
to the Houses regularly licensed, than
there must be Illegal vendors and illegal
places Of resort where business is done
mOstentatiously yet wickedly.
They poison their customers with adul-
terated liquors which pass for Whisky,
Brandy, Gin, or some other drink whose
name is not known to the writer.
Let us not be discouraged, but do all we
can to ascertain who the viOlatcr3 of the
law are, and then cndeaVOr to have such
nuisances removed from amongst us

for this county.

THE fact is patent to all that the most
cases of shooting arises from the fact that
the parties engaged in them push into
melees because they have pistol in the
pocket and feel backed up by its presence
when otherwise they would keep out of
danger. With this knowledge before him
Mayor King of Philadelphia is right in
entering upon crusade against the carry
ing of concealed weapons. He has en-
joined upon the officers of the police force
to use their best efforts ''to arrest and
prosecute all those who shall carry any
firearms, sIungshot or any other deadly
weapons concealed about his person, and
apprehend all those they may have reason
to believe are violating the law in this
particular. The courts Of Philadelphia
have already decided that acts prohibiting
the carrying of weapons for self-defense
are unconstitutional, but the mayor con-
tends that any man carrying a concealed
deadly weapon in Philadelphia carries IL
for purpose, not self-defense. . The
Doidness of Mayor King in using all his
power TO suppress the bearing of concealed
weapons is certainly commendable, and III
his crusade against this dangerous prac
fiee he will have public opinion with him

THE toy pistol as an instrument OF diver
sion has been a success this year. Four
more cases of lockjaw resulting from its
use have been reported in Baltimore, three
having proved fatal, and the fourth being
considered as hopeless. This will make
seventeen deaths in Baltimore alone
from the use of the toy pistol ON the
Fourth of July. A dispatch from Roches-
ter day or two ago announced the sixth
death there from the same cause. Similar
reports come from other parts of the coun-
try. If the whole number of accidents
caused by this diabolical toy throughout
the country could be known, it would
probably be found that there were killed
and wounded enough to furnish respec-
table battle.

DEAN STANTLEY, whose death was an
nounced by cable yesterday, was one of
the foremost men in the Anglican Church.
He was an accomplished scholar, and was
thoroughly versed in departments of
science to which most theologians pay but
little attention. Alive to the best thoughts
and tendencies of his time, he kept up
with the progress of the age, and although
thoroughly orthodox in his religious belief
and loyal to his church, he was so liberal,
so tolerant and SO charitable that his death
will be sincerely mourned by the whole
Christian Church, and by the learned and
cultivated men of all nations.

THE SIX weeks contest at Albany has
been partially settled by the election ON
Saturday. of the Hon. Warner Miller,
United States Senator for the term ending
in 1887. The balloting took place amid
great excitement. Speaker Sharpe made
an able speech, in which he announced
for Mr.. Lapham instead Of Mr.. Conkling
His example was followed by several
others. The Conkling combination are
still holding persistent deadlock on the
election of Mr.. Lapham as his successor,
but as the latter has come within four
votes ofan election, it is thought that the
deadlock cannot continue much longer.

THE people of this peninsula ought to
be thankful that they are exempt from
the terrible cyclones Of the West-a fact
doubtless caused by our location between
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. In
the West the Summer has been prolific of
disasters. Scarcely month ago tornado
swept over portions of Missouri, Kansas
and Iowa, leaving a broad trail of ruin
behind it, and three weeks later the burst
ing of waterapoul caused d flood in the
Iowa river which destroyed vast amount
of property and interrupted business for
several days. The cyclone which struck
New Ulma, Minnesota, on Friday last,
covered smaller area than the storms
which proceeded it, but it was the most
disastrous ia its effects. The whole town
was literally overturned, and all its homes
and its industries swept out of existence
