The NeDs does great injustice to the
Democratic party OF this city and Sta;e.
tits NO part Of It's creed to prescribe any
man, because he Is born III an adjoining
County Of another State. 1t has always
been the most liberal party in the country
It's opposition to the proscriptive policy
Of John Adams under Mr.. Jefferson
gave II celebrity all over the world.
There would be such an entire incon-
sistencys in prescribing an American
born within fifteen or twenty miles OF
where he lives and extending the great
est liberty TO one born abroad it is so
utterly absurd that no party could enter
tain so vile creed. II has long been
said that there are more Of the sons Of
Delaware in Other States in proportion
to her population than any other State
of the u mon. It would not COX very
well, therefore, IN Delaware to pro.
scribe persons who come here in the
pursuit of that life, liberty and happi-
ness which so many Delawareans are
seeking in other States. Even the late
James A. Bayard went to New York IN
1S41 or 1912 with view to practice his
profession. His brother, DR.. Edward
w. Bayard, has long been a resident OF
Brooklyn; another brother, Hon.
Richard II. Bayard, after being our first
Mayor, and representing Delaware in
the u. s. Senate, became a citizen OF
Pennsylvania, where Henry Bayard,
another brother, now resides. These
gentlemen have been honored in their
communities, and only last fall Hon.
Thomas +. Bayard, in a speech in
Philadelphia, referred with becoming
pride to the short period he had himself
resided in Philadelphia and practiced
law, and where at that early period OF
hio Ef~ he e~PoStod W nI.hU his LuL'sIs
home. The Democracy of Wilmington
would not endure a creed that would
prescribe man because he was mo-
born on Delaware soil. Our State has
many good citizens from abroad, and oui
city is filled with gentlemen from Other
States many of whom are foremost in
enterprises That tend to public benefit,
and worthy OF the highest respect a
good citizens, some of whom our peopls
are even proud to have among them.

"OILY CANNON" The News is full
and overHowing, and empties itself in
true "oily CANNON" style. Mr.. Hig-
gins should Immediately proceed to
his BARRIERS or he viii certainly be-
come noted as the great "unwashed."
Well, let the "happy family" enjoy it
self over the honors received by Mr..
Higgins. He had dug deep enough in
to the Republican political quagmire
to deserve anything his party had to
bestow, and the Neps is evidently high
ly delighted. 1t says:
The vote of the Republican members
OF the General Assembly, Tor Anthony
Higgins, Esq, as United States Sena
tor, means that Mr.. Higgins has the
confidence and respect of the gentle
men who have been elected to repre-
sent this county in the law making
body of this State. They recognized
in Mr.. Higgins gentleman ofcharac-
ter and ability, whose education and
accomplishments fully qualify him to
represent our State III the councils oi
the nation, and Furthermore a Repub
lican Of sterling worth who has stood
by the party through evil and through
good report, as well as an honorable
and talented lawyer who has made q
brilliant record al the bar of this coun
ty and in the United 5 ates Courts.

A HINT.
That is Timely for the HOli.
days.

We know there are many Examiner
readers who have not made selections of
holiday presents. We take it for granted
that everybody is going to buy some
thing in the way of presents, for who
can let the joyous Christmas season pass
without indulging in those little ameni-
ties that make life so much more joyous
and better? Who would let Christmas
pass over little child's head without
gladdening that child's heart with a
present? and who, that feels at all
able, but desires to show a SINH
lar thoughtfulness for wife, daughter,
sister or friend? We all buy presents
we vary only in the variety and cost OF
| those presents. Now a word to the
reader who has not yet made selection
! for present or presents. Go to }. W.
Castles & Co.'S drug store, under the
McClelland hotel, and look at Their
holiday goods. You will not be appalled,
at the prices asked you, for they are rea-
sonable You will, however, be astonished
at the variety of beautiful and usefu
things offered so cheap. We are not
going to enumerate them, for that were
a tedious task, but we simply ask you t.
90 and look at them. They comprise
articles that are suitable for holiday
gifts to any one. They are useful, bean
tiful, cheap. Not one of them but would
be highly welcome to any person o
taste and refinement They afford you
to testify, in an elegant manner, the
appreciation you have OF the
one you wish to CRAFTY. Go aud see
them, and you will not only purchase
but bless the Examiner for putting you
on the track of just what you want. One
word in closing confidence, these pres
epts are especially suited for gifts to the
fair sex-"God's last and best gift to
! man

now Mr.. White will not leave until

a False KSunnOr.

1t came to the ears of an EXAMINER
reporter yesterday that a custom pre-
vailed in the county jail of hazing every
new prisoner by strapping or padding
him. Such treatment is not very com
mendable, and to ascertain how much
truth there was in the report the reporter
visited the courthouse and jail. Sheriff
Van Hall, Deputy Oglesby and both
Jailer McGhee and his deputy, 81, pro-
nounced the report as having DO founda-
tion at all Sheriff Hall went with the
reporter to the Jail and called all the
prisoners, including the man who was
reported to have been padded yester-
day morning, and the reporter ques-
toned them regarding the matter, and
they all averred that no hazing of any
kind had been praeticed in the jail for
long time. Several years ago it was
frequently done, but the disgraceful
habit was not tolerated now by the off
GERS. We are confident the prisoners
and the officers gave truthful account
of the matter.

Railroad MATTERS.

A reporter yesterday Afternoon found
the attaches of the Texas and st. Louir
office busily packing up, and learned
from Major c. f. Stephens, chef engln-
eer of that company, that portion OF
the engineer corps stationed here would
leave this morning for Pine BLUM, Ar
kansas. to work on the northern eXten-
sion of the line to Cairo, which place
will he made headquarters of the ELI
gineer department for SIX months. y
mart of the corps will remain IN Waco
10 work on the southern extension,
under the supervision OF Assistant
Engineer +. FL. Brown. Increased
effort ON the Arkansas line will not
materially retard active operations west
of tbis CITY. The line will be completed
from Texarkana to Cairo by September
next. ready for business. Assistant
ENGINEER Johnston IS now stationed at
Suiphur Springs, experimenting active
onerations on the Dallas branch of the
line. Major Stephens, though his head
onarters are removed from Waco to Pine
RIufr will make monthly visits over the
yarious branches on which work IS now
being nushed. Numerous friends who
have become acquainted with Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephens will regret TO note their
departure.
The Missouri Pacific, last evening
was within four miles of the city. The
bridge gang of Tranbath IL Pierre are
actively engaged fifteen miles from the
city, and they advertise in tae EXAMINER
this morning for all the teams they can
secure to haul 100000 feet of bridge
timbers to the work.
Mr.. Gallagher's force of men and
teams leave next week for Arkansas, to
begin work on the Texas Il st. Louis.
Mr. Gallagher has the contract for lay
ing one hundred and thirty-three miles
of track and some of the grading, from
Red river to the Arkansas river. The
heavy tools used Oh the Missouri Paci-
fic will be left in this city. Mr.. Gala
CHER has secured free transportation for
as many men as he desires from Waco
to TeXarkana. and will probably pur-
chase a number of additional teams.
The force will begin leaving Monday,
and will continue all through the week.

A Manly Defense.

In the current issue of the Southern
Amaranth appears an elegant defense of
Miss Florence Gerald, in the Gerald
Rome controversy. The writer Is Mr..
Charles L. Martin, of Dallas, and one Of
the best known and liked writers in the
state The immediate text of his de-
Tense, is the etfusion of "Nettie Nan
non," of Calvert, who made some severe
structures upon Miss Gerald. With such
capable and valiant defender Miss
Florence may bid defiance TO many
more unfavorable critics than she now
has To contend with
