THE ACTION of the National Repub-
lican Committee yesterday in choosing
Chicago as the place for the holding Of
the next Republican Convention for the
nomination of a candidate for the Presi-
dency was a wise forecast of the result
and a tacit acknowledgment that the
great Eastern and Middle States of the
Union were practically SOLD for Re-
publican candidate, and whatever of a
stimulating influence there might be
abouta national Republican Conven-
ton should be- thrown west where there
is more of spirit of free trade to en-
counter and to bs overcome. Though
we should have preferred the Conven-
ton to be held in Philadelphia, simply
for no other reason than that we belong
to the Middle States, after all it was a
practical and wise movement TO choose
the West as the place for holding it,.
The result will no doubt be solid West
as well M u solid East for the Republi-
can nominee.

We are pleased TO zee aud note that
Chairman Pilling, of the County Repub-

mined to call meeting Of that COM
mittee ON Saturday, the 22nd inst. The
chairman sees in the future change OF
political issues and he desires that the
Republican party of Ne" Castle County
shall be- put in proper shape to meet
those changes. He recognizes that the
tariff will be the general issue, and
that on that Issue politicians will wake
up to find queer bed-fellows.
Besides the general issue that will be
brought before the people Of New Cas-
tie County, 1t will be for the people,
Democrats, Republicans and men ofall
parties to say whether they will vote
themselves inferior to the people of
Keut and Sussex Counties-whether
they will say that 60, coo ola population
in lower Delaware-shall have twenty
two members in the Legislature, while
SO, 900 of a population in upper Della
ware shall only have fifteen as proposed
by the constitutional amendment Offer
ed for the judgment of the people.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist in regard to tho tariff and free
trad, there should be none whatever

lection of the plan off red for increased
representation which If accepted, would

usral service Reform Needed.

The decamping of an express messen-
Ter the other day with a quantity Of
tewelry entrusted to his care for safe
delivery to parties in Philadelphia
brings to all who employ agents ell
trusted with the property of Others an
important lesson. That lesson is, that
no person should be trusted with mat
te-s of Importance without having a
full knowledge of their character.
This man referred to it seems had
been for long time al habitual drinker
OF intoxicating liquors and is said to
have formed the habit of "bucking the
tiger" or in other words of gambling to
such an extent that he let his ordinary
bills of boarding and washing 60 un-
paid. Yet this is the man who offered
himself to perform important trusts and
to carry back aud forth from Whining
ton to Philadelphia thousands Of dol
lars worth of costly goods belonging to
others. The strangest part of 1t is that
business men accepted the offer of such
. man 8 services without question as
to his habits or his honesty, upon the
superstition, we presume, that no person
would dare TO offer to perform such i'm
pOrtant trusts who was not thoroughly
honest and correct in his morals.
There is where great mistake is made
by business men who employ cashiers,
clerks, messengers and others who
handle their property and their cash.
The man who spends his time in bar
room in preference TO other places less
demoralizing, and who INDUCES in the
use of intoxicating liquors we are frank
to say Is not the man to be charged
with important trusts. 1t is but o step
from the bar-room to the gambling
room, the pool table only intervening
between them, and when once the
gambling room is reached, honesty
takes wings and tlys away. 1t seems
to have been well known that the alb
sconding Ill messenger referred to was a
drunkard and gambler, and yet those
who employed him were not aware of
it, simply because they made no in
quiries, They acted upon the idea that
a man who would offer to perform an
important trust certainly must be hon
est. Some of them know better now,
when it is too late. 1t is time that bust
ness men should learn that their agent
and employees placed in charge of their
property are objects Of suspicion if they
prefer the surroundings Of drinking
saloon to the influences of home, and
where man so forgets his manhood and
forgets to preserve decent respect for
him self by resorting to the gambling
saloon. Civil service reform is com
mendable, but moral service reform is
absolutely more necessary in the EN-
ployment Of cashiers, clerks, messen-
gers and trusted agents.

WE ARE sorry to see that the voice OF
the Morning News is still for blood
for the blood of the condemned man
Harrigan, who, though humble in
station, had the manhood to defend his
home from a ruthless invader who
sought to destroy he chastity and
sanctity Of that home. Jerry Harrigan
is none the less man that he is poor,
humble and iliterate. Like the UNI
polished diamond, there was within his
bosom the heart of a man that rebelled
against the destroyer Of his domestic
peace and happiness. Where is there a
man that has within him the heart OF a
man who would not have been tempted
under like circumstances to do as Har-
rigan did &? Under the circumstances
o pardon from the Governor for the
condemned man will be strong blow
against libertinesm and in favor of
pure and chaste homes. Why is our
esteemed contemporary so thirsty for
human blood? DO let us have rest.

The GauYe OF battle.

The Republican National Committee
has laid down the gauge Of battle for
the next campaign in plain language
that cannot be misunderstood, and the
platform is 50 broad that all can stand
upon it and so strong that it cannot pos
sibly break down. Not only EepublI-
cans, but men Of all parties without re-
gard to past political differences, are
KEEL TO cooperate. American labor
is t. he elevated and dignihed protec.
ton is to be extended to home indus
Jries--not foreign industries that is,
what we need is to be manufactured in
this country by our own people who are
to be paid good wages for their labor
Free, popular education is also guarAn
teed for the masses of the people a. wen
q, tree suffrage aud an honest cDGntiuE
of the ballots. Human rights in every
section Of our country are also to b.
protected. This is the blocking ont OF
the campaign, the drawing Of the out
lines, the diagram of the field Of battle.
Is there an American citizen, adopted
or native born, who cannot cOusCien-
tiOusly stand upon that platform with
out the loss OF honor and self respect
and be proud that he is an Amer IN
citizen
