We Mean all We say.

Our neighbor, the Gazette, has ad
ministered to the REPUBLICAN casti.
cation for what it pleases to term the
abuse of Mr.. Bayard and the Demo-
cratic party. Our neighbor is unfortu-
nate in the terms he uses. We have
not abused nor slandered either Mr..
Bayard or the Democratic party, but
we have sharply criticised the manner
in which they have subjugated the Of,
flee of President of the Senate. Had
Senator Bayard arisen to the high posi-
tion which he now for the time being
holds i'll fair, honorable manner, we
would have had nothing to say. but on
the contrary the means made use of to
attain that position ara of such char
acter that the sbarpest kind of criticism
fails to meet the case. Those that eX-
pect to be honored and respected, must
act in an honorable and respectable
manner.
Whether Mr. Bayard and the party to
which he belongs have done this is the
question at issue, and as our Contem-
porary alludes to the New York Times
and the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph, which it terms leading Republi-
can journals, and quotes them in sup.
port of the actions of the Democrats. we
would ask what it thinks of all the 9th.
er Republican papers in the country.
many of them with more circulation
and double, the influence of either of the
papers named tt at take the other side ?
There are also a number of Democratic |
papers that side with the majority of
the Republican papers Of the country,
but we frankly say that we don believe
they reflect the real sentiment of the
Democratic party any more than the
two papers named by the Gazette re-
fleets the real sentiment Of the Repub-
lican party, though they are both able
papers and have the manlineSs and in
to speak out their real sell
iments. We have said sharp things
lbout MIR. Bayard, and we are of the
opinion that if the papers named Were
published in Wilmington instead OF
New York and Philadelphia, they
you'd be equally if not more severe.
We regret that the circumstances of
he case requires sharp, plain talk. We
would much rather praise MIR. Bayard
han condemn him, if his pubic ac. :
ions were Of such character as to
variant us in so doing. Because he is
Delawarean and the first that has
cached so near the Presidency, is not (

The Philosophy of Oyster Eating.


According to contributor to The Lancet. the
practice OF cooking is not equally necessary 10
regard to all articles OF food. But the articles
OF 1000 used In the unc0oked state are compara-
t1vely lew. Fruits, which are consumed largely
IN the raw state, owe their dleteic value chiefly
10 the sugar which they contain; but sugar is
not altered by cooking. Milk Is consumed both
COO Ied and uncooked, tnd1nerently, ana expert
meat justifles this Indifference. The eating of
oysters, however, Ia quite exceptional, and fur
nlsneS striking example Of the general cor
RICHNESS Of the popular judgment on dletetIc
questlons. The oyster Is almost the only animal
Mhlch Is eaten habitually, and by preference in
the raw or uncooked state, and It Is interesting
10 know that there Is sound physiological
reason at the bottom of this preference. The
laWn-colored mass which constitutes the dainty
part OF the oyster is its liver, and this Is little
eise tnan heap OF glycOgen. Associated with
tne glycogen, but withheld from actual con-
TACT with II during lfe is Its appropriate dlxes.
i've 1erment-the hepatic disastase The mere
cIusning OF the dainty between the teeth brings
tnese TWO bodies together, and the glycogen is
9! once d1geSted, without other help BY It's own
0lsaStaSe. The oyster In the uncooked state
0r merely warmed, Is IN fact, SELF digestive.
But the advantage OF this provision Is wholly
lost Dy cooking, for the heat employed tmmedi-
aLeiy destroys the associated ferment and O
cooked oyster has to be digested like any other
1000, py the eaters own digestive powers.
