InOreased ReprekentnIion.

A letter from Dover to the Peninsula
News, in referring to the probable action
of the Democratic Legislature says that
the general prevailing opinion amongst
leading Democrats is that the Legisla.
tnre will increase the represen tation of
New Castle County two members, and
on stiff contest may probably allow
an Increase of three, but in no case will
they permit the County to have an ad-
ditiOnal Senator. The understand ing
il that the New Castle members will
ask for an increase of five members in
the House and two Senators which the
members from the two lower counties
will not submit to. There Is a genera
regret amongst leading Democrats in
the lower counties that any reference
whatever was made during the cam
paign to increased representation as
they zee by the large majority with
which they carried the State thav they
could nave carried 1t as easily without
making any promises of increasing the
representation of New Castle County.
At any rate very pretty little fight is
promised and as it is to be purely a
Democratic squabble the Republicans
can look on complaisautly and enjoy
1t. Those Democrats who fattere d
themselves that their party was as
much in favor of increased representa-
tion as the Republicans can begin to
lower 9nd trim their sails under the
leadership o' the sand bank and oak
swamp gentlemen from Kent and Sus-
sex. Mr.. Bates will be like the man
amongst eleven stubborn jurors that
wouldn't come to his side.

AFTER THE horrible disclosures Of

if Philadelphia is a civilized commu.

are permitted to be carried on in city

HarrlKan'a Peril.

Next Friday week is the day set by
the Governor for the execution Of "Jer-
ry" Harrigan, and be will most az
suredly be executed on that day, unless
Governor Hall can be induced to grant
another reprieve. We do not believe
the people want Harrigan executed
The way to make tho Governor cogni-
zant of that feeling is to express 1t in a
petition to him. Thousands OF petl-
tioners hava already prayed for a re-
spite and thousands more would If they
had an opportunity of doing so' The
immediate friends of Harrigan should
lose no time in circulating such petit
tions for signatures, and some more
reasons than those of mere sympathy
for the doomed man, should be set
forth in the prayer to the Governor.
When the last reprteVe was made, the
Governor was assured that there was
evidence not produced at the trial that
would initiate III Harrigan's favor.
Has that evidence been produced? If
it has not what are the reasons for the
failure? Let Governor Hall know all
about it, If it is a case wherein such evil
dence cannot be produced without the
elimination of a witness, who alone has
the secret testimony locked up in a.
guilty bosom, let the Governor know
it. Harrigan is brave man and will
not shrink when the trying hour comes,
if come it must, but that is not the
question. A man wrongtully accused
can go TO death with an innocent con-
seriousness that guilty man does not
possess, but this is not trial of cour-
age. 1t is not a test of bravery. 1t is
plain open and shut question whether
"Jerry" Harrigan should be further
reurieved. If there is the least suspi-
cion that there is evidence lurking back
which cannot even be produced that
would initiate in his favor, he should
not be made to suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law. Delaware cannot af
ford to have the bloodstains of an inno-
cent man upon her escutcheon.
When We say innocent we do not deny
that Harrigan killed his cousin, Den
mis- Shea. He does not deny that him.
self, but such killing does not always
constitute murder. The intent aud
purpose of such killing should be fully
set forth. Was this done in Harrigan's
case? We would not tor moment re-
feet upon the counsel that made his de.
fence. They did all they could with
the evidence they could produce, but it
was felt all through the trial there was
other evidence back of all that could
not be brought out. This feeling is
still shared by the public. 1t cannot
be denied that there is one who should
have been more than a friend to Harri-
gan, was more than friend to the slain
man. There is believed to be secret
locked up in that bosom that would as.
sure the saving of Harrigan's life. Be"
cause that secret is kept under the lock
and key of guilty conscience, should
Harr iean suffer? These are questions
and thoughts which should be, and we
have no doubt will be laid before Gov,
ernor Hall, who will, we know, act in
q conscientious manner, even if he
should, in endeavoring to do what is
right, commit an error.

WE have received from Z. Steiger of
New York, pamphlet advocating the
repeal of the duty on books. He is un-
dertaking the enterprise himself and
bearing all the expenses, His grounds
for the repeal are that the duty is tax
upon knowledge, that incorporated H.
braries receive the books free while
private individuals cannot; that the
revenue from the duty amounts to but
a half million yearly, and benefits no
one but few publishing hou ses in New
York and Philadelphia who steal the
Productions of foreign authors and pub
lish them without any benefit or profit
to the author who spends his time and
labor in their production. Mr.. Steiger
takes the right view of the matter and
we hope that when the new tariff sched-
ule goes into operation this tax upon
knowledge will no longer exist.

Christmas cards are actu.

to tell you a secret. A year
ago a Philadelphia artist
showed us some uncommon
ly bright conceits of her own.
We struck a bargain with
her in two minutes for all
she could do. She can do
a good deal in a year, as you
can see. The things are
indescribable, unimaginable,
but by 40 means unintelligi-
bic. They are rather costly
considered as cards; but they
are not cards. They are
artistic gifts. altogether be-
yond cards. They are little
bits of actual art; sometimes
with a touch of the useful.

wednesday:
Christmas buying..has really
begun in earnest h er e.
We've been a little SOW to
speak of it; for we've been a
little slow, In spots, in get
ting ready. We can say
now, Of every class of goods
without exception, so far as
we are aware, that they are
perfectly ready; and the
sooner you come the better.
Christmas and giving do not
make so great a difference
in our trade as you think. We
sell almost the same things
now that we sell the year
around. We sell a great
deal more now of almost
everything; and a few sorts
of goods, mostly triAes both
to US and to you, belong so
to the siving-time that they
are trash afterward. But
really we have very little OF
such. We havn't SAID much
about it; but we have been
gathering for you, Christmas
after Christmas, larger and
larger stores OF the beauti-
full and useful, for gifts Of
permanent practical value.
1t sounds strange to say
SO. But everything in mer-
chandise is perishable. The
fashion of this world passeth
away" With the vogue OF
things, the value goes also.
We do not dare to buy
enough Of scarcely anything
to enable US to tell you that
the things are here, and you
may come whenever y O u
please. 1t is always true
that the best time-a great
deal the best tirne-is at
once, when all the new
things are together. But
you can count on this: Peo-
pie generally put off till the
last days, and then buy in a
Jam whatever is left. The
particular, economical, thrifty,
wise, people buy more care
fully; and get more for their
money.
1t is a long argument;
but too plain to be followed
out to its huncred ends.
Here is a great storetul OF
gift goods; gifts OF lasting
value, gifts Of beauty, gifts
of a more precious fragrance
than beauty and value to
gether. and gifts of folly;
according as they are chosen.
Buy when you will. An
time is a better than ther
ever was in your city, be-
fore the time of this store.

Dangerous Theatres.

Notwithstanding the numerous and
disastrous fires that occur in theatres, it
is amazing that there has been such an
utter lack of precaution to prevent 9th
or fires. Since the burningo of the Park
Theatre in New York, special official
examination of the theatres in that city
has been made with reference to the Sc"
curity of an audience in case OF fire
on the stage during performance. Not
all the theatres have been examined
yet, but the reports made in the cases
of eighteen, including most of the prin-
cipal Ones, show that there are but two
among them which have complied with
the conditions considered by the In
speotor OF the bureau of building to be
essential. These conditions are fire
proof wall dividing the stage from the
auditorium and extending through the
root, ample machinery for quickly
drenching the sta ge and scenery with
water, and large skyilGhts above the
stage so arranged that they may be
conveniently opened by hand from the
stage, or will open automatically by
the cutting or burning OF, hempen
cord. This last provision is to secure d
draft away from the auditorium. With
these features, the inspector says there
would be no occasion for a panic on ac'
count of a fire ON the stage, and the
audience could remain in their seats
and see it burn. The only two theatres
that were found satisfactory IN these
particulars are Wallacks' new theatre
and Hart's, also new theatre. AS for
the rest they are supplied with some
of these conditions of safety but are de-
ficient in others. The inspector Gays
the reports plainly show the need of
new building law.
