The striking telegraphers have our
sympathy. Their wages have been
cut down from time to time during
the last five years, until at present
they are almost at starvation point.
With this cutting down Of pay, dimin-
ution of work hours has not resulted; on
the contrary they have been kept up
to the limit Of endurance. All this
time the dividends to the Western
Union monopolists have been increas-
ing. Out Of SIT, ,OOO, 900 proceeds from
last years work. over $1,000, 900 were
clear profit. This Is too much per-
centage on honest investment and
proves blood-grinding somewhere
The strikers have the goodwill and
sympathy of every man who earns his
bread in the sweat of his brow, and
they are fully and justly entitled to it.
God speed them in the battle for their
rights, say we.

An anonymous correspondent of the
Boston Herald, writing from Indian
apolis, denies that Dorsey saved Indi-
ana for tho Republicans in October,
1880.
GAS q matter Of fact" he says, "Mr.
Dorsey's presence In Indiana with his
lieutenant, Mr.. George G. Gorham,
was the one thing which more than
anything else threatened the result of
the election.n "The idea" he contin-
ues, "that Dorsey could come into the
State for three weeks, put up at the
Denison, drink with McBfayer, and
carry Indiana. may do for marines. 1t
is time the country was disabused of
the nonsense"
That is an easy thing to say now.
Let US see how certain Republicans
have regarded Dorsey's service in In
diana.
In January, 1881, when the dinner to
celebrate Dorsey's Indiana achieve
ment was proposed, Swain, who now
declares that he and Garfield knew
"that Dorsey had q screw loose in his
moral make up," wrote as follows:
MY DEAR DORSEY: Believe me, 1 am
glad clear down i'm my boots ut the fitting and
merited compliment you are to receive"
On Oct. IA, 1880, the following letter
was written:
"MY DEAR DORSEY: I especially con.
graduate you on your masterful manage
ment of the campaign and the thoronghness
with which you have watched oil the details
and Incidents of the fight. Let me counsel
you now to take some much-needed rest
and save yourself for the final struggle soon
to come on"
The next day the same person wrote:
"Your work in Indiana has vindicated it.

he may as well find out now, before
he is again subjected to grievous disap-

stairs, which were already crowded, a
panic ensued and a deadly crush took
place. While the children were piling
one on the other the railing OF the
stairs broke and the mass Of struggling
children were precipitated to the floor
below. The police ana nremen rushed

smalLPox in Chestestown.

Since our last issue there have been
fourteen new cases Of smallpox and
varioloid developed in Chestertown.
The reason for this unexpected spread,
is that the disease struck a portion Of
the town where the colored population
is dense, in some cases as many as ten
or fifteen crowded in one small house.
Among the fourteen cases there were
two or three white people. William
Cannon, who worked at the straw
board mill, was taken in the early part
Of last week, but did not have doctor
till Friday, when his case was SO far
gone that he died on Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Cannon was one Of those
who disbelieved in vaccination, and
ersistently refused to allow himself to
vaccinated. He was open in the
Expression Of his opinion that vacci-
nation did not amount to anything.
He has dearly paid the penalty Of a
false opinion, as the physicians think
that his case would at least have been
only varioloid if he had been vacci-
mated. CheStertol1n Transcript.

resentation for New Castle county, by
constitutional amendment, will in few

The bill will provide for five additional
Representatives from this county, thus
increasing the membership Of the

probably provide for increasing the

the fair thing for New Castle county to
