Wcsicy's victory over Doubt.
New York Tribune.

One of the most important of the pa

9Gonference, that OF the Vcn ols DR..
Daniel Curry, appeared last week stimuli
Staneous with its appearance In London,
jim the Methodist, the Christian Advocate
J. and the Indspsndent This elaborate and
careful essay considers the relations OF
ethe Wesleyan movement to skepticlsm;
and the outside observer may probably
fix his attention upon this most cheerful
aspect OF Methodism. 1t is significant
Historical parallel that Wesleyanism was
born in the midst of very
7dreary sceptical time, and that its first
Pan Conference is held while new and
more vigorous school of doubt com
mands general attention. All the histo-
5rians are agreed that Methodism arrested
the march of unbelief In the last century.
Every new study of Wesiey's age In
creases the estimates of his value as
reactive force; he grows larger In TINS
aspect the more closely the eondiuon OF
religion and the downward tram OF
speculation are examined
. 1t is pertinent to ask by what mean
John Wesley arrested the progress OF
doubt And it is perfectly clear that
his answer TO speculation was hos coun-
ter speculation. He was neither Jo-
seph Cook nor Moody; but while he
was wiser than the first and as practical
as the second, his power was not ex-
prs ssed In the terms of either. Against
doubt Wesley appealed TO the con
science. He pointed out to the speculaf-
Aive people that their world was coming
down about their ears in general de
moralixation. He struck home tn the
common mind with blows that reached
the conscience The doubters stopped
to consider the effect of their preach

rHR death of General Garfield OF

THE death of General Garfield on
Monday night, though not unexpected,
cast q gloom over the entire country. He
had struggled so nobly and bravely
through eighty days of suffering, and
the hopes and prayers of the whole peo-
pie for his recovery were SO earnest and
sincere, that it was hard to believe all
should end in disappointment He had
been called by the votes of the people to
the head of the Republic, to become It's
Chief Magistrate and ruler. In the brief
half year since he had assumed his Off
cial duties, he had not only retained the
confidence of his political friends, but,
more than any other President before
him, had won the esteem and respect of
his political opponents. When the fatal
bullet of the assassin struck him down
on that Saturday morning in July, all
parties and all classes of the people
were shocked and panied, and grieved
a. for . personal injury. 1t was not a
partisan chieftain who had been wound
cd unto death, but the friend of the peo-
pie and the President of the country. IT
il in this character that he is most
mourned to-day-not as party leader,
not as wise aud profound statesman,
not "a brave general battling for the
Rspubllc, though he was all these-but|
for the true, noble, upright man who has
fallen in our midst does the great heart
of the Nation bow in sadness and lamen-
tation.
This Is not the occasion to enter upon,
. review of the career of James A. GAR
field; that can wait; it is written upon
the brightest pages of his country's his
tory and will remain for all time In the;
hrst shock of our grief we care less forI
worldly wisdom and worldly honors THANH
for the noble nature who could stand I'M
the midst of his neighbors and say, III

that few men have ever enjoyed
1t the hands of any people," 1t is the
loving friend, the kind neighbor, the
good citizen and the great hearted man
upon whose bier the tears of millions of
the people are shed to-day.

Ir. Hammond,s Predictions Verified.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Although DIR. Hammond has been
charged with personal spite and profes
sional jealousy, his comments upon the
Presidents case have been remarkably
true, and his predictions have been full !
filled with surprising accuracy When
the physicians in charge were pooh pooh
ing the swollen gland, DR.. Hammond
pronounced it a most dangerous symp-
tom, and predicted all that occurred in
bis development. BE has held to the py-
'smic theory, too, all along, and week
ago told newspaper reporter that every
|symptom pointed to dangerous condi-
lion of the blood. which would not be
believed until 1t had disturbed the lungs,
and perhaps the other organs of life.
When DR.. Bliss was telling US that the
Presidents coughing wss caused by mu
:sous in the throat, DR. Hammond said:
1.-THE poison has reached his lungs, and
/ he physicians in charge know it better
Than do, and they will be compelled to
leonfess the fact before many days"

Tn great big heart of the nation

Tn great big heart of the nation is
beating In full sympathy to-day with the
grief stricken, heart broken wife of the
murdered President, who, almost from
the very day of her entrance into the
White House, has known only trouble
and sorrow. May God in his infinite
mercy give her strength to enable her to
safely pass through the last and most try
ing ordeal of all, the death of her dearly
beloved husband.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR, by the death o.

CHESTER A. Arthur, by the death of
President Garfield, is now, having al
ready taken the oath as such, the Presi-
dent of the United Ststes- We firmly
believe, in the light of his most excell-
emit conduct during the illness of the
President, that he, a. much or more than
any one, deplored the act which hiss
thus placed him at the head of the ma
ton. All testimony goes to the estab-
lishment of the fact that Mr.. Arthur is
In every way qualified for the discharge
of the high trust which has been, in the
providence of God, thrust upon him,
and now it should be the duty of all to
stand by him and sustain him to the end
that the laws of the country and the will
of the people may be judiciously ad-
ministered.

Democratic City Economy,

the credit of the city at last night,
meeting Of the City Council. Orders
were drawn amounting to 5.l23.7S, and
still we are told that a number OF order,
h I'VE been held back Balancing the
bills drawn with the amount in the
City Treasury the latter is s., 2,IS5.56
short already. For once at least it may
be said that the city is without money,
and what is worse there is very little
money to come into the city Treasury
from now until the first of July. With
TIE bills held back and the current ex-
penses for the month of June all to be
paid yet, and no money to pay them
with, there is fair prospect Of start
ing the new fiscal year on the first o.
July with S25, 900 at least in debt The
city had $4,000 from the water take,
and $4,000 of borrowed money il
which to run the city from January It
July, and the promise was made thai
the new fiscal year was to start clear o.
deb5. Instead of this realization We
have S2j, 900 debt to start with and the
tax rate raised to Sl.32 on the 500
This is Democratic economy 1t is il
order now for the Gazette to publish q
chapter on that subject, and to tell how
it comes that the city must start the
year with floating debt of S25, 900 and
the tax rate higher than it was evel
known before to be.

SUCCESS.
The Excursion Given TO Woodland
Reach Yesterday.


The Household of Faith Bible school
excursion to Woodland beach, yesterday
on the Thomas Clyde, was a success in
every particular. The boat left the
Fourth street wharf about 7.30 O'Clock
with about 900 persons aboard. At the
time of starting the Ringgold Band OF
Reading, numbering sixteen pieces, rem
dered the Whale chorus from the opera
Olivette. On the down trip, which was
very pleasant, a concert waS given by
the band. The excursion grounds were
reached at about 1918 o'clock, and a
majority of the eXcurSionistS went
ashore. Some proceeded to the woods
and engaged in swinging, while Others
Dromenaded upon the beach. AT elev.
en- o'clock the band gave another con
cert, after which the excnrsionists par
took of dinner. In the afternoon an
enjoyable time was experienced.
The eXcurSionists INDUCED in various
amuSementS. Some swung and played
games, and others engaged in target.
shooting, bathing and promcnading
The band gave concert in front of the
hotel at four o'clock, and at about 4.45
o'clock the return trip was begun. 1t
was enlivened with delightful music,
and Wilmington was reached at about
s O'Clock. Nothing occurred to mar
the pleasure of the excursioniStS;
in fact they had everything to
make the trip delightful. The music
rendered by the band was excellent, and
was appreciated by all who were in at.
tendarce. Good order prevailed during
the entire day, and more than the eX-
penSeS were realized.

the implacable enemy dust, cEurned up
in the streets in dry weather it is abso'
lutely impossible to defend. 1tfindsits
way into the houses, into the cars, and
carriages, into every kitchen and hence
into the food we eat. 1t enters the air
passages and becomes a source OF con-
stant irritation. Were it simply the
dust, ground from the pavement, per-
haps it would not greatly affect the
health of the people, tut as everybody
knows, it is an unnamable compound OF
all nastiness, in which germs of dis
ease lurk and do their W Jrk. The rain
has attacked this enemy in its citauel
and suhdued it, and to that tact very
likely we are indebted for the privilege
of announcing a marked Improvement
in the health of our city. 1t is not pos.
sible to so perfectly cleanse the streets
that there shall be 10 dust to annoy i'll
periods of drought. Some things are
and this is one of them. But
we have fair supply of water, and by
a concerted plan Of operations all our
thoroughfares can be sprinkled
from time to time and in that way we
can have the benefit of rainy weeks at
al times, and in consequence small

the grist of the streets entirely, we can
so dispose of what sweepers leave that
it shall not find its way into oar houses

lovely in the form of mud, indeed, but
it is robbed of its POWER to do much
damage. The health of Wilmington is

Health and Dust.

1t is very gratifying to note that there
was decrease in the mortality list OF
our city last week. We also note the
pleasing fact that there are no signs Of
epidemic diseases, fact which ought
TO be very reassuring. There is caust
of course for the improvement noted, OF
perhaps several reasons. The work o
cleaning the streets has progressed rap
lilly since Councilman McMenamin re
signed as Chairman of the Street Com
Tnitiee, but nature, as usual, can lay
claims to the largest proportion Of the
credit. Last week was rainy week
aud but little annoyance from du 1t was
