Row Ex-Assessor saviIie sang ut Middle
town.


transcripts report Of the meeting.l
Thomas Saville of Wilmington inflicted
upon the audience one of the most wretched
campaign songs that It has ever been the
writer's painful privilege to listen TO. 1t
was composed by Richard Harrington to
the appropriate tune of " Well all drink
stone blind" There seemed to be some
thing wrong with the singers voice, too.
1t was cracked In places, and seemed to be
sort of run down at the heel and out at the
knees. II was not able to be out In the
night air. Sometimes II would get up so
high that the singer had to pull It down by
the coat tails and then It would seem to go
down, down, down, until the audience
feared it had gone into the far distant
remoteness, and would have 10 be jcrked
up by the coat collar. 1t was one of the
most reckless voices that ever ventured out
alone after night, and If Mr.. Saville has IL
still about him after the election he can take
II round the country and hitch It to "0ver
the Garden Wall" and reap his everlasting
fortune with 1t. 1t will be only necessary
for him to admit the audience free and
charge them 80 cents to get out. After a
deafening round of applause, for nobody
could resist applauding at the end Of such
an effort, Mr.. Saville slid down the ladder,
caught his voice by the slack of his trousers
and took It In out of the night air. The
band played a lively air and the audience
began to feel that perhaps after all there was
yet something In life worth living for.
Then Saville climbed up the lad
der and started his voice on another song,
the burden of which seemed to be:
.Hurrah Hurrahl Delaware must be free
| Hurrah Hurrah u From the Democracy"
The voice was as weak as q cat, and
seemed to want to lie down and rest every
few lines. Then it would suddenly rouse
up and fly around like a lot of secondhand
echoes in tin shop. The crowd began to
scatter, and 1t was feared at one time that
Mr.. Saville, like the boy on the burning
deck, would stand alone to survive the
wreck. In conclusion, Mr.. Savile said hI
would sing the last verse on the Sth of No
vember, and the audience seemed perfectly
willing to wait.

Mr.. Hastings on Cheap Labor.

A few more speeches by Mr.. Hastings on
the tariff question, like the one he delivered
In Newark on SATURDAY. night, will bring
every workingman in the city to the con
clusion that he knows nothing 1T All ahout
the matter beyond the point where his own
personal interests are concerned In one /
breath he declared that tltv tariff wa, ar
the protection of the Worlljugmcu and hat
the manufacturer could make NOR, muucy
without it, while in another he asserted tilt
the industries of Pennsylvania would dir il
they were not protected.
But the most pertinent remark made by
Mr.. Hastings in this address WIS upeu he
question Of wages, ana here he frankly al
lowed his zeal to outrm his discretion.
Every mechanic aud laborrr in the cisy
should carefully read his uttcraucce on JHis
question as published elsewhere IN the
GAZETTE, as they throw more light
on the iniquitics Of the present
tariff system than volumes ot
political platitudes could expires. in a
year Mr.. Hastings boldly ana plainly de
clarcd that he was forced to buy labor
where he could get it the cheapest, and if
cargo of Conlies would answer hi, pur-
pose he would therefore feel Justified in cm
ploying them at twenty i've or fifty cents q
day, despite his assertions that the present
tariff is designed to protect the interests OF
the American workingmcn against
the pauper labor Of Europe" Mr..
Hastings, the rich manufacturer, has ample
protection, but where is the boasted pro
lection that comes to the ala of the work
ingman and stands between him aud those
who are willing to labor for Just enough to
keep soul and body together. Let the re
suit of the recent strikes in the great iron
centres of the country be the answer
We hope the remarks Of Mr. Hastings
upon this subject will show the workiugIneii
OF this city how little their own interests are
looked to in this matter Of tariff and pro.
lection. Here is the testimony of large
manufacturer, who boldly declares himself
i'll favor of his own protection, but at the
same time admits that he will . buy
. labor where he can yet it cheapest.
even to the point of hiring
men who ''work for nothing anil find
''themsevcs." Nothing could hc mere
ridiculous than the phase OF the question
Mr.. Hastings revealed by his frank but in.
judicious utteranees, AMI he has virtually
admitted what his political opponents
have long charged and shown con.
clusively that the present tariff not
only enrches manufacturers but enables
them to completely control the market and
enforce submission on the part of Tie
laboring man to To their prices. "Protcction
:" Tor the manufacturer and free competition
for the laborer," is now the battle cry ol
the Republican party, and its chosen cham
pion has announced it As the key note oi
the campaign.

The "LITTLE ELECTION" in this State
and the election in Ohio have shaken the
assumed confidence Of the "Doycr Ring so
completely that its leaders and organs are
appealing to the "business interests" of the
State to save them Fortunately the "btlsi-
"ness Interests do not train with the gang
now running the Republican party, and
prefer a continuance of the present decent
administration, with the needed Constitu-
tional reforms to which the Democratic
party is committed.

We imagine, we advertise
our work and trade as a mer-
chant by showing how carefully

when we point out useful
things as well as when we
tempt you through your love

We made last Friday a very
heterodoX avowal about filters;
that they must be kept clean
to be good for anything.
Most people suppose that
filters purify water in some
miraculous way, They don't
do any such thing; as you may
find out by an easy expert
ment. Strain muddy Schuyl-
kill through several folds of
linen, and look at the linen.
That is a filter, so far as it
goes. Dare you put in your
mouth the sediment left upon
that linen :! You would have
done SO if you had drunk the
water. The sediment is as
foul upon the linen as it was
in the water, no more, no less.
But, if you strain foul water
through foul linen, what gain
have you, especially if the
linen be a thousand times
more foul than the water.
Now, that linen rag is a
very fair filter. Whatever is
true OF it is true of a filter. 1t
wants frequent washing. Sc
does a filter.
The reason why this is het.
erodoX is that the filter is a
semi-scientifc utensil, not
much known among people
and the filter-makers and
sellers don't dare to tell how
filthy it becomes with use.
We say bluntly that a filter
must be kept clean or it is worse
than none. And we provide
fllters that can be kept clean
Just as in refrigerator-time We
said about refrigerators. Thai
was heterodox too. Probabl,
all the refrigerator and filter.
sellers, who read this, will
think we are spelling theil
business. No, we're not
We're helping it. Sometime,
we help people, you know, by
helping them out of their mis-
takes.
Since writing the above We
have read the Encyclopedia
Britannica ON Filters. There
isn't a word to alter; but the
subject isn't done with.
We haven't advertised oul
filters yet. Can't stop longer
to-day.

The Last Resort.

The result Of the Ohio election having
proved such a death-blow to the hopes of
the Republican party in clearly forshadow-
ing Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives of the Forty-eighth Con-
gress, the Republican papers are resorting
to the plan that worked so successfully In
1880, Of appealing to the business interests
of the country to rally in sup
port of the Republican cause, for
fear that Democratic aseendency may be pro-
ductive OF great evil. 1t is very doubtful,
however, if the ''business interests" will
consent ODE scared, as Democratic supre-
macy is fraught with no threats of violence
to the people, and just now offers an agree
able change from the "Ring" rule and
machine measures OF the party in power,
which have become so defiant and disgust
ing that a large portion of the Republican
party is in open rebellion against them.
Here in Delaware, particularly, the
" business interests - are not likely to be
whipped into the Republican traces, for no
sane man can believe that the politica
triumph of Dick Harrington and the eleva-
tlon Of such men as George P. Fisher and
Beniah Watson viii add a dollar

of our State. On the contrary,
such result would paralyze the
best interests of our Commonwealth, and

PRISON LABOR AT CONCORD.

PRISON LABOR AT CONCORD.
 There has been 8 great deal of trouble in the State prison at Concord Mass, during the last year, and the authorities are trying to devise some way of decreasing the difficult ties with which they have had to contend. One important change which is to be made is connected with the employment of the prison CTS. There are 654 inmates of the prison whose labor is let to contractors. The evils of such system have become very apparent. The resence among the mon of overseers having charge of the interests of contractors has been found to be not beneficial either to the interests of prisoners or to the prison discipline. They appointed without any consultation with the warden and he has no guarantee that they are qualified to work tremendously with him in the ma nagement. They are there in the service of the contrac tors and to make all the money possible for them regardless of the health of the men. As consequence inducements in the shape of gifts or extra money remuneration are held out to the men to perform an excessive amount of work, by which the contractor will be protited.
 
 overwork in order to earn extra wages, and break down in health in consequence. They lose their strength, become unable to do work at all and so wholly burden upon the State. It is against the rules for men to do this extra work but the contractors superin- tendents, it is said, promise the offenders inn munity, saying that they will make it all right and that the rules will not be enforced In this way respect for the discipline of the prison is lowered. It is impossible for the warden or his officers to discover all these cases, for the fact of violation appears only at the end of a days work, and comes di- rectly to the attention of the contractors g subordinate, who is interested in concealing it from the warden
 The contract for the labor of part of the men will soon expire, and the new plan will then be tried Advertisements for work to be done will be published and it is hoped that manufacturers will find it for their inter ests to deal directly with the prison authori- ties for work instead of contracting for the labor of the men as they do now. The plan involves making the prison a sort of subor- dinato factory to sone establishment which needs more room than it now has or which contemplates an extension of business. The prison authorities vii! take work to do by the piece. A general superintend dent from the main establishment might be admitted to the prison, but all the subordinate office would be of the warden's appointment This would, it is believed prevent the evils which have been observed in the operation of the present system The Boston AdUe,tise1 thinks that this plan may have an important bearing on the question of convict labor, and it argues that if the warden takes work to do by the piece the competition of bids will be likely to force up the price to about the outside prices. If this should be the case the workingmen of Massachusetts would be pleased with the
