4 certain witty judge, whenever a
culprit was brought before him for trial,
invariably asked y "Who is the woman in
this casc?" A slight measure of truth
underlies this repartee, as indeed, must
be the case under all satires under weak
human nature, else they would not be so
keenly felt The broader and more com
prehensive truth In this connection is that
woman is really the most that is good and
successful. There is scarce a leading
business man in any vocation who will
not greatfully acknowledge his successes
as being In large part due to his wife.
In no occupation is this more apparent
than in that of the farmer. All over the
country the men who have succeeded in
acccmulating competency or wealth In
farming have had sensible, industrious
and economical wives Because woman
does not work in the fields is no reason
that her services are not important. On
large farms the master himself often docs
little of the manual labor. and in the mat
ter of supervision the wifc's services are
are quite as effective as those of her hus-
band. A story is told of one of the early
pioneers in new country, who with his
wife commenced farming on a tract of q
hundred acres of wild land, only partially
paid for. Year after year they prospered,
and the one hundred acres was paid for,
largely by the hard-earned money which
the wife had secured through sales of but
ter and cheese. Again and again the
question was asked by the husband,
''Shall buy another hundred acres2' and
the answer BY his good wife was always
the same: 'sGet me fifteen more cows, and
you may safely buy the land" When, in
their old age, fine farm of five hundred
acres was fully paid for, and the wife
could rightfully boast that it was Der
labor, quite as much as that of her hus-
band, which had paid. for their broad
acres.

Gre Of Pneumonia.

Mr.. d. H. Baraaby, of Owego, N. Y, says
that his daughter was taken with violent
cold which terminated with pneumonia, and
all the best physicians gave the case up and
said she could live but few hours at most.
She was in this condition when a friend re-
commended DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, and advised her to try it, She ac-
cepted it as a last resort, and was surprised
to find that it produced marked change for
the better, and by persevering permanent

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Whiskey has been the most promi
nent question at the Capital this week,
and a good deal of eloquence has been
expended on the bonded extension bill.
There is something cosmopolitan in
whiskey, however and whiskey inter.
eats. and the debate has been entirely
free from sectionalism. A vote was
not reached as had been hoped, and
the discussion was resumed to day. A
pamphlet containing dispatches to
Chairman Morrison from men, firms
and banks all over the country, urging
the passage of the bill, was laid on the
desk of every member OF the House on
Saturday. A canvas was taken of
votes on that day which convinced the
friends of the measure that they would
be beaten on square vote by ten or
twelve majority. The House has also
nassed a special deficiency bill, the Post
Office Appropriation bill, and disposed
of n number of private measures. The
senate has talked about common
schools. pension claims, diseases of
cattle, and the salaries of District
Judges. Committees have had under
consid Iteration, postal telegraphy, pat
ents. the lifetime of which will not be
shortened, and the appropriation Tor

| aid to the public schools of the more
illiterate States, has been sharply crit
iclsed in the Senate both ons sectional
and constitutional grounds. One SEN
ator thought it bad precedent for
the Federal government to undertake
this kind of charity. Another said a
State that did not provide for the
education of its own people would not
be benefited by a fund provided by
others. Senator Plumb especially
manifested his zeal for local self gov
ernmept in educational matters, and
Senator ingalls, thought the bill was
defective in several particulars. The
father of the measure here complained,
that Senators were bringing micro
scopic, and telescope examination TO
bear upon it. Senator Ingalls, replied
that a bill calling for 9l05, 600, 600
might well be examined microscope
cally, telescopically, horoscopically,
polariscopically, or by any other Scoop
ical" method that could be applied
The amount was large enough to war
rant it.
A bill will be reported to the House
from the Committee on Commerce au-
thorizing the President to prohibit by
proclamation the importation of arti-
Giles of food or drink that may be adul-
terated or deemed injurious to health.

In former issue of this paper we
opened a column for the use of persons
wishing to express their views on the
"new school house building" it is
not our intention to allow a cores
pendent to villify his neighbor, or to
use innuendo in any form or manner.
Mr.. Homewood accuses "Voter" of
calling him "hard-hearted wretch"
We do not believe "Voter" had refer
ence to Mr.. H., but that gentleman
insists that "Voter" meant no one else.
This week we allow Mr.. Homewood
the privilege of replying. Hereafter
we wish it distinctly understood that
no communications rejecting on the
character Of any of our citizens will
be Inserted in these columns.

The question of the new school
house is now being discussed in our
columns. That a new house is need
ed no one will doubt, and should be
built as early as possible. The sec.
ond question is, an available location.
Which of the two lots is the more de-
sirable, both for convenience and
health? This thing of postponing,
disagreeing, quarreling and wrangling
over a new school house has gone far
enough. Let good judgment be shown,
and a decision will soon be reached.

The Faculty of Delaware College
have issued a circular calling for con-
tributions to enable the College to
purchase dynam.oelectlc machine
and a small portable telescope.
The College already possesses fine
transit instrument, but no apparatus
for its practical use, and it would
cost more to supply this than to pur-
chase small telescope. We sincerely
hope the College may be able to pro-
cure these instruments at an early day.

MURPHY'S TRIAL.
The sixth Day Evidence Ended - The
 Argument.

On Saturday afternoon the prisoner testified in bis own behalf. He acknowl- edged the shooting and killing of James Levy, but claimed it was done in self defense.
 To-day in court he looked haggGrd and pale.
 The defense offered testimony to prove the criminal character of Levy. This the court ruled out. The offering of this testimony occupied all the fore noon.
 This afternoon the arguments began. Deputy District Attorney Campbell made twenty minutes speech and was followed by Thomas Fitch, who was speaking at the time the CITIZEN went to press. He Is to be followed by Mr. Chas. Silent and Mir. Campbell is to close.
