A Case Needing Explanation.

We thought last week that we had
done with the matter of Lienburger's
removal, in fact we should not have
referred to it at all, but for the dipping
into thing by the EUery EUening so
absolutely local, personal and incOnse-
quential as to be surprise to its read
ers and demanding of those concerned
an explanation. In fact, we might
have passed it by as the laundering
work of "sub" while the editor had
gone to dinner, but for the editorial
acknowledgment that it had passed
through the sanctum." He says we
"ought to know enough of newspaper
work to see that it was a paid adver-
tisement" If this was an advertise
ment, how is any one to know the diff
ference between communications and
advertisements when they are regular
ly addressed to the editor under a news
heading and regularly dated from q
town? We have heard it called decep.
ton, but never journalism. Now as tc
the real facts in the case The regular
correspondent says he did not write
the communication, as the editor
affirms. The only other party inter.
ested in it to the tune of paying for ar
advertisement in the news columns
usually costly, would be Mr.. Lienbur
ger himself. Mr.. l.. says he did no
write to EUery Evenirlg himself, author
ize any one also so to do, pay an!
money directly OF indirectly, anI
farther, that he did not know anytllin,
of the article until it was shown hin
in the paper. If the editor receive,
any money for it he knew it, for h
says it was paid advertisement
and as Mr.. L. is disgruntled" as wei
as ourself, it Is due from the editor t
explain publicly or privately who wa
J a party to this singular freak of jourr
aiisIn.

Virgins storm.

There has been nothing since the
prediction some ten years ago of the
Tidal wave" which was to sweep over
our Peninsula that has caused the
same amount of remark, we will not
say apprehension, as has this prophecy.
The remarkable thing was that this
weather Seer" disturbed the peace of
the civilized inhabitants of a whole
continent, Canada being perhaps the
most purturbed of any other country
The hold that was made on the public
mind was shown in the fact that even
the National Weather Bureau at Wash
ingtOn for several days prior to the
time fixed, noted the special indications
bearing on this event. He prophecied
it will be recollected, that the storm
would strike the planet first on the
North Pacific coast, would pass down
| the Canadian lakes on Sunday and
that no small vessel would be able to
live in it, that all the low lands on the
Atlantic would be submurged and that
hundreds of lives and millions of dol
lars of property would be destroyed
Nothing less than the strongest sense
of duty to his fellow-man, said Virgins
would allow him to utter so doleful Q
prediction. He hardly escapes feeling
that to foreknOw is to foreordain, anC
bring to pass the fearful things he has
read in the aspect of the heavens. Tht
Canadians were very much exercised
over their prospects. Hundreds o
fishing vessels declined to go to Sc;
until after the 18th. Gloucester ha
already lost $150,OOO in deferred bust
ness, and a fish famine is talked o
down East. II is reported from ther
that q great many storms that hav
been considered severe have not beei
as disastrous to the little fishing com
munity as the prophecy of Virgins.

Delaware RECEIVES a Present

If any person had gone to Dover
Thursday night for the purpose of wit
Messing the presentation to the State
of a portrait Of Lord Delaware, he or
they certainly would have been sadly
disappointed. Just imagine both
houses of the General Assembly con-
vened in the Representatives Hall and
a sprinkle of ladies and gentlemen
were assembled, all curious and eager
to see the portrait, which proved to be
simply crayon copy framed in a neat
walnut and gilt frame 17x23 inches.
The presentation speech was made by
Justice Comegys and the speech OF
acceptance by Speaker Bates. 1t is
said they were both very happy in
their remarks and the occasion a
very pleasant and gratifying one. As
presents are so rare to the State o.
Delaware and the people have so high
an appreciation where one is made
even a 17x23 crayOn elicits thei
admiration, and both branches of tn,
Legislature were convened to receiv,
it and welcome the donation of Lore
Delaware. The portrait we understand
will be hung on the walls of the Gov
ernor's room in the State House, wher
all lovers of fine arts can have an on
portunity of witnessing and admirin
the skill of the artist.

cited women called upon him to indi-
cate a place of safety. Threatening
letters arrived, irrationally proposing
to make it hot for the prophet if the
storm did not come TO time. Luckily,
for him, doubtless, there was a storm
on Saturday, though not such a storm
as he predicted. Ii was an ordinary
March storm, but Wiggins claims credit
for the coincidence. 1t will now be in
order for the prophet to predict an un-
usually dry time in July.

THE Centreville Md Observer, the
Democratic organ of Queen Anne's
county, thus notes the position of our
esteemed cotemporary at the capital ON
the subject of education
1.-THE Dover DeLGwareGn opposes the
expenditure of money by the State of
Delaware to aid in the education OF
cOlored people. To our people, who
are glad to see people all around US of
every race and class become educated,
such opposition appears antiquated and
ill-advised. How much better citizens
intelligent colored people make thar
ignorant ones, needs but the compari
sion which any one can make who
sees both. 1t is to be hoped the Della
IOGrean does not expect to rule Della
ware by the ignorance of one-half it
citizens"

THE action taken by the Wilmington
Conference in relation to the questions
of Liquor License and Political Bribery,
is an evidence of quickening of the
moral and religious conscience at the
evils that flow therefrom to curse our
common humanity. The act of cleans
ing dirty stream must begin at the
fountain. 1t has been said that the
church, if true to her mission and a
unit in the work of reform in accor.
dance with the baptismal vows and OBJ
legations assumed at the sacred altar
these evils would not now be existing
to deprave SO many of our people.

WILMINGTON is disturbed over the

The Churches Sunday.

At the Presbyterian Church last
Sunday the Rev j. T. Umsted preach
ed from the text 80 built we the
wall and all the wall was joined
together into the half thereof: for the
people had a mind to work" Nehe-
miah, chapter 4th, 9th verse. He re-
counted very clearly, though briefly,
the history of the rebuilding of the
walls of Jerusalem by Nehemiah re-
hearsed the difficulties and obstacles
that everywhere met this prophet,
described quite graphically the armed
opposition of Sanballat, Tobiah and
other enemies of the Jews, and dwelt
with especial force on the united,
determined, persevering and ceaseless
efforts of the people in the work how
that while working with one hand
they held in the other u spear or shield
against the enemies without the gates.
! After sometime spent in recOuntlng
this interesting history he reached the
! point Of his sermon in making the ap-
| plication, showing to the congregation
how utterly Insignificant were the
hindrances and difficulties which they
would meet in the building of theil
new church as compared with thos'
which Nehemiah encountered anC
overcame. And. that if they woulC
evince anything like the unity, energ,
and determined perseverance tina
characterized those Jews working will
Nehemiah, it would be a question of
short time only when a new and beau
tiful Presbyterian Church would stan
credit and honor to the congregatio
and our community.
