WILMINGTON. SATURDAY. NOV. 10
Prosecute the Illegal voters.

As tie appearance Of a great smoke
clearly indicates the presence Of fire, so the
charges of fraud at the recent election,
coming freely from both parties, form a
strong suspicion that cheating and trlckery
must have been resorted to ON that occasion.
This being the case, certainly measures
should be promptly taken for the arrest and
punishment Of the guilty parties. The
crime against free suffrage is one OF most
heinous character, and no matter which
party suffers justice should be done in every
case. The Democratic party cannot afford
to condone Republican frauds, while the Re-
publican managers would be only too glad
to pounce upon Democratic corruption If
any could be found.
The frauds committed under the manipu-
lation OF certain Republicans, on the seventh
day of November, were of the most 2laring
character, and embraced bold forgery as
well as personation, perjury and illegal
voting. The signatures of several county
collectors were autographed, their seals
iraudulently counterieited, and receipts thus
manufactured used in Wilmington and
Christiana Hundreds by nonresident negroes
from various parts of the county, who had
no right 10 vote at their homes.
Here was wholesale scheme of fraud,
even exceeding in infamy plot discovered
several years ago, when a safe in one of the
city departments was used as a receptacle
Tor forged tax receipts, intended for the
qualification OF parties who had no legal
right TO a ballot. in this case the proofs
are ample and conclusive, and We doubt If
even packed jury could save the perpetra-
tors from deserved punishment.
No fear Of counter charges of Democratic
frauds need deter the prosecution of these
cases. If fraudulent votes were cast for the
Democratic ticket let tho perpetrators be
punished as promptly and swiftly as though
they were of the opposite party. The pros
titution of the ballot is a crime deserving of
severe punishment, no matter which
political interest it presumes TO serve,
and the illegal Democratic voter
deserves even stverer punishment than
his Republican crmpetitor, because the
Democratic party of this county has for
years fought for tn" purity of the ballot, and
been forced 10 contend time and again
against the worst species of fraud at the
hanis of few INSCRIPTIONS party
managers. Thu Is no time
for party expedien' = trt fo- prompt action
and the work Of pl-ifcation should be con-
tnued relentlessy "nt'' every known fraud
uicnt voter and nan'nul2tor of corrupt
schemes against III" purity of the ballot finds
his rightful place behind the barred door of
a prison cell.

THE CASE OF General j. r. Chalmers. of
Mississippi, one OF Hubbell's pet Southern
statesmen, who was in danger Of being de-
prived Of his certificate of election as a MEM
Der of Congress, by reason of the arbitrary
action of the Secretary of State in rejecting
number OF votes cast for him, gave certain
Republican papers pretcxt for making a
howl against Southern Returning Board
manipulatilns. We are glad TO know
that General Chalmers is likely to
receive the certificate he is Justly
entitled to, but are sorry none Of the
papers that were so excited over this ipjus-
tee to General Chalmers have a word to say
about the gross injustice to Purnal Lynch,
who was deprived of the Office OF Sheriff Of
New Castle county, 10 v hich he was honestly
elected, by the unwarlanted action ofa few
inspectors in throwing out enough Demo-
cratic ballots TO return a small majority for
his competitor. Had these ballots
BEEN counted, as they of right ought
TO have been, Mr.. Lynch would now be in
possession Of the office, instead of being
compelled to seek his just rights in the
courts. We hear plenty of sympathy for
Gen. Chalmers from Republican papers, but
we hear not word from them In coudemna-
ton of the acts by which Mr. Lynch was
deprived of his Office

Not reduced. We don't like
to reduce. We don't mark
down SO many goods as you
think. We try to let other
people do the most of that.
Successful merchandising is to
have enough ofeverything; too
much of nothing; to sell every
thing for a profit, and still be
at the bottom OF \the market.
But the most careful and vigi-
liant buyer will get caught
sometimes. When we do get
caught, we mark down with a
cheerful satisfaction that isn't
an every day experience.
All we mean is this: When
we offer something at half
value, please remember that it
is a good deal more likely to
be a fortunate bit of buying
than a loss. But no matter
what it is to us, be very sure
that the gain to you is just
what we say in the papers.

In SO big a stock of laces,

We mean sheer loss now; such
loss as goes on more or less in
every merchants trade. There
are two ways of treating goods
that don't go readily one to
keep them to cry over; the
other to force them off by half

off the loss a little while and
keeps the whole stock dull;the
other faces promptly the inev-

viii you read some good sense
about mems shirts !
Since the stoppage of A. T.
Stewart & Co., we make more
shirts than we sell. We made
all the shirts for their trade
and now we want sale for
them. But we're not going to
ask you to buy shirts because
we want to sell them. We're
not quite so daft as that.
Our shirt for a dollar is the
one. 1t is a better shirt than
we can afford for dollar. 1t
costs us a dollar to make and
sell it. But there it is and we
want more men to know about
it. What is there to know ?
Think of every part of a
shirt; just how is the best way
to make it.That is the way that
shirt is made. The linen is fine
enough, 1900. The muslin is
good enough, Wamsutta. The
front is three-ply Of linen. Be-
tween front and arm, where a
shirt breaks down first, it is
two-ply. The yoke is two-ply.
The wrist opening is two-ply;
but the meaning of that isn't
quite clear, unless we say that
you can't tear it there. Added
to all these points of care and
generous provision, the shirt is
made to perfection, as to sew

in this city of magnificent banquets are
the favored children of fortune who re-
joice in the name of society people.
Think of it; ye gods thirty to forty
balls, parties or dinners in one night.
with an average of three to each and
every dancer, diner or looker-on in
Vienna. Think of the frequent dress .
ing, the excitement, the heated rooms,
the exertion, the late hours, last, but by
no means least, the indigestion. Ponder
upon these things, ye fortunate many
who move without the charmed circle,
and as you return to your quiet and
comforta BILE homes to spend the evening
in the society of your wives and
children, and pillow your heads upon
your comfortable couches, thank Prov
idence for your Questionable lot and
your mental peace.-NeaO York Conn

THREE RED-HEADED BOYS.

In 1843 or 1874 there were three very
wild and very red-headed boys living on
tie same square in Frankfort, KY, and
going to school to the same master,
Prof. B. B. Sayre, one of the best edu-
Gators of the old regime, and man of
marked character and eccentricities.
These three red headed boys were George
G. Vest, John M. Harlan and B. Gratz
Brown. Brown was known by the Sob
riquet of Freddy" Brown. After school
was out and the darkness of night had
thrown veil Of comparative protection
over the apple orchards of the neighbor-
hood, the three boys would gather on
the front porch of the Vest mansion and
"talk." They used to make wishes and
resolves, and no resolution stopped short
of the ultimate President of the United
States. One of them is now an Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
another United States Senator from Mis-
souri,, and the other has been Governor
of Missouri, United States Senator, and
in 1872 received the complimentary vote
of the Democratic Electors for Vice
President.
The three have met in Louisville fire.
quently since boyhood, and these re-
unions were always memorable ones, at
least to the three. One of the stories
told with particular delight by Senator
Vest at the last meeting was of Prof.
Sayre's school. Sayre was man of
high temper, and when in bad humor
was the cause of terror to all his pupils.
One day when the class was called he
was SO plainly out of temper that the
lesson was frightened out of the head of
every pupil, as David Copperfeld "felt
whole pages slipping away"
"Spell mouse he called out to the
head of the class. "M-o-u-s-e," was
nimbly passed over. every well-what
is the plural |" was the next question
fred at the boy with the precision of a
bullet. "Mouses !" answered the
frightened lad. "Next," cried the
teacher, and every boy in the line lost
his head, and one after another an
swered "mouses, including Vest, Har-
Ian and Brown, all very close to the bot
tom.
Mr.. Sayre's rage was complete. Be-
ginning at the head of the class he took
every boy, one after another, by the ears
and bumped his head against the wall,
and judicial, Senatorial and Gubernato-
rial heads echoed asprofound and revre-
berating thud as any of the others

A MINISTER'S HEAD.

One Sunday morning, as a noted min
lister was riding along to meet his con-
gregation, he came to where some small
boys had mashed up pile of rotten
pumpkins and added clay enough to the
pumpkins to make stiff mortar of it,
and had covered the mortar up in the
form of church steeple, and with the
minister in the pulpit complete, except
his head. Here the boys stood, ap-
parently in deep study, when the rev.
erend gentleman, seeing their church,
was led to inquire into the ideas of the
boys, and asked "Well, boys, what
are you building?" They replied: "We
have built church and made the
preacher, all but his head" "Well, /"
said the minister, why did you not
put his head on?" "Well," replied one
of the boys, "we did not have rotten
pumpkins enough to make his head. .
Tha minister rode on.

We may Judge something of the rela-
tive value of water, in the human econ
omy, when we remember that most of
the body and its solvent juices are pure
water. Fo- example, the saliva is SO
per cent water, the gastric juice 81, the
bile 81, pancreatic juice 90, blood 70,
and even our bones 10, as solid as they
seem. Since the Creator made us as we
are, established these relations of water
to the system, it is reasonable to infer
that large per cent. of alcohol COM
biRed with these solvent fluids would
not increase their effectiveness. If the
change of starchy foods into grape sugar,
as an important step in the digestive
process, demands 80 per cent. of water
for its perfection, I cannot believe that
an addition Of 10 per cent. of alcohol
would render that process any easier or
more expeditious. On reaching the
stomach for another change, If the Gre
ator, In infinite wisdom, has made the
gastric juice principally of water, I do
not feel justified in recommending ale or
porter as an aid TO digestion. The same
principles will equally apply to all of
the remaining processes. Water is the
best solvent known-more nearly uni
versal than any other. This constitutes
ii the best possible drink for all living
creatures. u III. Hanaford.

Ex-Gov. Wise, who had been made a
Bngadier General by President Davis,
arrived at this time in Staunton, en- route
for the Kanawha valley. His arrival
was the remote cause of ludicrous incl
dent which came very near opening our
campaign with an unpleasant tragedy.
Lieut.. Col. Crenshaw, who had gone
with me to pay our respects to Gov.
Wise On the evening of his arrival, in
vited his staff surgeon, DR.. Peter Lyons,
to accompany us to our camp, with
promise of sardines, cigars and other
comforts, with which he was provided.
We reached camp about 9 o'clock, and
were hailed by the first sentinel we ap-
preached, who ordered one of us to ad-
vance and give the countersign. Unfort-
unately, although having the envelope
containing the countersign, which had
been handed us by the Adiutant, we had
not opened it, and it was too dark to read
it. We replied: Commanding officer
without the countersign; call the SER
geant of the guard" "That won't dc"
said the sentinel. "Now, mark time
Them's my ORDERS" We demonstrated
against the indignity to which he con-
templated sublecting his fiel3 officers in
the presence of a stranger, as well as
against the exercise involved in the exc
cution of his command on hot summer
night; but he was infexible. &c Mark
time r he replied, cor I will certainly
shoot you" and, suiting the action to the
word, cooked his musket and leveled it
at us. We tried threats, but he was not
to be ntimidated-reason, but he was
unreasonable; he knew nothing, and
would neither permit us to advance or
retire, and insisted upon "doing his
duty" which was to shoot us if we did
not "mark time" He was master of the
situation, and, as we looked down the
musket barrel, we marked time" until
the perspiration rolled from our fore.
heads. We were relieved by the sergeant
ofthe guard, ,whorelieved the sentinel, but
not until we had whetted our appetite
for the expected repast by abundant ex-
ercise. I supposed the man was luna
tic, and sent for his company officers to
make inquiries. 1t turned out that he
had been instructed at Camp Lee by Ca
dets of the Military Institute, who re-
quired all who failed to have the coun-
tersign to " mark time" for their amuse-
ment until the guard officer appeared.
He was very much alarmed when told Of
the deception which had been practiced
upon him by his youthful instructors.
