This address is the elimination Of the

Butler, man whose lite has been spent
in selfssekiug of the most sordid kind,
pursued with duplieity and unscrupu.

object of his third party and his cunning
appeals to workingmen is simply to d.
vert votes enough from the Democratic
candidate TO elect Blaine, II possible, in
pursuance of the treaty he has entered
into with Chandler, Robson and

strenuous effort to convince the
"classss," who iu reality make up four.
fiftbs Of the people of the country, that
they are so impotent and helpless that
they are dominated by the other fifth

reckless assumptions regarding the in

We are glad to learn from Charles W.
Dabnsy, Jr., who has visited Wilmington
in the interest Of the forthcoming Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans, that he has
found few Of our manufacturers alive
TO the Importance Of taking part in that
exhibition. Mr.. DAbney mentioned,
among those who will certainly be repre-
scented at New Orleans, the Haylan &
Hollingsworth Company, the Jackson &
Sharp Company and the Diamond Match
Company. The ball having thus been
started we may reasonably expect others
to fall in line and unitedly make dis
play that will be satisfactory to the pride
Of Wilmingtonisns visiting the Crescent
City.
In order to insure, so far IS possible, =
general exhibit from all the states, the
projectors Of the exhibition have set
apart an appropriation Of $4,000 to each
state to assist in defraying the costs
thereof. The primary object Of this is
to secure and gather in one building a
distinotively American exhibit, the plan
being to have the government exhibit in
the centre Of this building,
with the states and territories
arranged around 1t in alphabetical
order. For this exhibit it is desired to
have specimens of agricultural, crude
and manufactured products, showing 81
fully as possible the native resources Of
each state and the modes Of and changes
wrought by cultivation or manufacture
Special exhibits, designed more partiou
lsrly to advertise individual enterprise
will be given space in other buildings.
The general exhibit is one to which
almost every Delswsrean could contribute
something and we feel assured that Out
State commissioner, William Dean, woult
make arrangements for the reception ant
transportation OF such contributions 81
may be designed simply to show wha
Delaware produces. In that categor,
may be placed samples Of forest woods
in the rough and polished, minerals
stone, ksolin and many other thing
which will occur to any one who give
the subject some thought. most effec
tive exhibit Of this nature, II it could b
arranged in such way as to tell its ow
story at a glance, would be somethin
that should indicate how within the pas
rs years the poverty stricken corn field
and sand-burr infested barrens OF Ken
and Sussex have been transformed int
fertile truck gardens and produotiv
peach orchards
The $4,000 appropriated by the mar
agement should more than suffice for til
purposes Of such general exhibition
but it is very desirable that 1t should h
added to by oar people in order to Civ
due prominence to fair exhibit Of Del.
wares manufacturing interests. As n
legislative or municipal aid can be d,
pended on whatever supplemental
amount ia raised must be by voluntar
contributions. Our Board of Trade,
strikes rs, is the proper body to take til
initial move in this matter and we PR
sumo Commissioner Dean will call II
early attention thereto, if he has pt
already done so.

We are gratified to learn that so good
au authority as Professor William Hark-
ness Of the United States Naval 0bserva-
tory disbelicves in the old theory that
the interior of the earth Ia In molten
condition. Those of us who are not
geologists have never, we presume, been
completely willing to accept such theory;
but go long as scientists were practically
unanimous in support thereof we could
not we'll afford to rebel. But now, in
discussing the recent earthquake, Prof.
Hardness comes out confidently with the
statement that the application Of refined
snslysis to the mathematical discussion
OF the tides has shown that the earth
must be solid body possessing
al average rigidity almost equ va.
lent to that Of a similar globe
Of solid steel; and we hasten 20 accept
his diotum as the voice Of our great
emsncipator rom the thrslldom Of a
hypothesis which SO severely taxed our
credulity. II is not very pleasant to
think that the ground on which we walk is
merely thin crust surrounding molten
ball seven Thousand miles in diameter
and such belief detrscts from orr ad-
IMITATION Of the earth as fair specimen
Of the work of the great Architect. We
cannot avoid the irreverent thought that
it might have been improved upon. There
fore we joyfully agree with Professor
Hardness that our globe is solid one,
and rejoice to learn from him that astro
nomical science cal be relied on to dem
onstrate this to any reasonable man.

The greatness Of the man will live In

ing even the appearance of equivocation
or subterfuge, shouts, 'Tell the truth. -
Did James G.. Blaine then come forward
and say: "Better defeat than SUCCESS
through snch dishonorable means 2"
The charges Of immortality which have
at last been voiced against Blaine may
rest upon no more stable foundation thar
that upon which the vile detractors o
Cleveland built. Their truth or falsitJ
are TO be tested on the witness stand /
Mr.. Blaine pushes the suit he has begun
and, il he is innocent, men Of all partiei
will be glad to see him vindioate his pri

There was no occasion under HEAVIER
for any one to delve into the private his
tory Of Mr.. Blaine, and the men engaged
in this work can only plead in pallia
ton Of their action that they weY
decoyed into this very reprshensibl
kind Of warfare by the example of politi
cal opponents. But 1t is Of little oonse
