laws designed to deprive men of their
elective franchise. He had never he
said bought Il vote nor contributed
money knowingly TO buy votes, and
elections so carried did not express the
honest convictions of the people.
He then took up the assessment law
of 1873 that he said was cunningiy
framed to keep the newly enfranchised
race from voting as far as ii possibly
could be done. He said that through
out the whole State there seemed Il
tendency 10 regulate the ballot-boN
through the instrumentality of the so
called assessment. He described it rs
an attempt TO keep man from being
/ assessed, and in very drOll fashion
asked if a man were likely to come
forward to be assessed i'll order that he
might pay taxes. Yet this was the
language OF the enactment. If the
Republican party had made laws such
rs these, then much as he loved it he
would desire to see it condemned by
the men of the free State of Delaware.
The enactment of system of laws
lik,. these deserved the unqualified
condemnation and reprobation of all
honest men.
tive enactmcnts supplemented another
in the effort 10 keep men oil the assess
mcnt list. and hence from the ballot
box, and brought Il broad smile from

THE members of the Legislature are
not the only ones catecised as to how
they will vote on specific measure,
las has been done by the Temperance
Alliance) but the Grangers have de-
manded of the two Congressional can
didates whether they would or would
not vote to place duty of 80 per cent
on the articles used in the manufacture
Of fertilizers. Mr.. Hastings promptly
replied, declining to pledge himself on
the ground that any pledge for a spe-
cific measure would unfit him to repre-
sent the whole. He concludes as fol-
lows:
Permit me, however, so say that l
have always been, am now and expect
TO be until shall be convinced that it
is not for the best interest Of this whole
country, in favor of a tariff for the pro-
lection of the labor of the American
workingman; and mean by this not
only the labor of the workingman in
the factory, the shop and the mine, but
of the tiller Of the soil, the grower OF
the fruit, the raiser of the cattle, the
producer in all of the various branches
of industry in this country as well
and, being so, am free to say that any

EVERY election season has its special
cry to ring in the ears of the masses,
and campaign cries are intended to
move men by their buzz before there is
time to stop and reflect as to the real
danger. That, this year, is mixed
schools" which is sounded from every
hustings, from every county cross roads.
The Democrats are indebted to Mr..
Conrad for this campaign yell, or rather
the reporter who got his remarks on
taxation mixed with schools, and not
withstanding Mr. C denied in toto that
he said anything about mixed schools
and the Gazette, which reported him
incorrectly afterwards admitted it, the
speakers and press reiterate it with in
creased emphasis each day as the cam
paign nears its end. 1t is a perfect
"gOd send to the cross roads speaker,
and the more notable speakers cannot
pass it by without taking it up, at least
/ gingerly. The Democrats charge that
it is a natural result of Republican
teaching and prevails in every Repub-
lican State. The Republicans on the
other hand point to the District of
Columbia that has been under unmiXed
Republican rule since the Inauguration
of Mr.. Lincoln with the following re-
suit:
Eleven buildings for white chill
dren, constructed at cost of 1862, ,929 ;
and three buildings for the colored chill
dren at a cost of 49,, ,5S7. Also that the
white children cost $2.37 per capita
more than the cOlored per year"
The charge has been made so strong
and frequent that Messrs. Curry, Hast
ings and the Kent County Ticket have
published cards personally declaring
that they are not and never have been
in favor of mixed schools. The denial
will doubtless go for nought, as the
average politician has never been
known to throw away an effective in
strument. if he knows himself 1t is
singular that in the last twenty years
when every issue that it was possible
to raise between the "cradle and the
grave" has been raised, that this alone
should be left to 1882. 1t is accidental
and as we said before, Mr.. Conrad wa
the unwilling cause. To be legiti
mate issue it must be demanded b!
somebody or something. We hav'
never heard an expression for it by al
individual of party, color or persua
sion. And as a campaign cry it be
: longs exclusively to the three coun
: ties on the Delaware" for in no ex
; change out of our little State do W

An Intellirent Horse.

A gentleman owned horse which
was very fond of him, and would come
from the pasture at the sound Of his voice
and follow him about like dog. At one
time the horse became lame, and was
obliged to stay in his stable and not BIO
used for many weeks. During this time,
an old cat made her nest upon the scat
fold Just above the horses manger, and
placed there her little family of five kit
tens. She and the horse got on nicely
for some days. She jumped down into
his manger and went off for food, and
then came back and leaped up to her
kittens again. But one morning she
rolled off into the manger with her foot
bleeding and badly hurt, so that she
could scarcely crawl; but she managed
TO leap away on three feet and ge her
breakfast. But when she came back
she was entirely unable TO get to her
kittens; and what do you think she didp
She lay down at the horses feet, and
moved and looked up several times, till,
at last, pony seeming to understand her
wants, reached down, took the cat in
his teeth, and tossed her up on the scat
fold to her kittens, who, doubt not,
were glad enough to see her. This was
repeated morning after morning. Kit
would roll off into the manger, go out
and get her breakfast, come back, and
be tossed up to hor family by the kind
horse, who must have understood cat
language, and been willing to listen to
it, Western Christian Advocate.
