In the death of Joshua Maris, Esq,
Wilmington has lost one of her leading
and best citiZens-one who for the last
twenty years has been before the people
in a number of prominent positions, and
has always proved to be a faithful of
icial, wise ruler, good citizen and
an honest man. But death is impair
tial in his dealings. He levels his
deadly shaft and strikes down who
ever he will. The rich, the poor, the
noble, the ignoble, the great, the small,
the ruler, the subject, the strong man,
the little child, all must bow TO the
behests Of the Insatiate archer, and all
are borne alike TO the Lass resting
place-the grave. But christianity
tells us there is a life beyond the grave
in a country where death cannot enter,
and this blissful life is for those who
have lived uprightly and righteously
upon the earth. by this standard, death
to a man like Joshua Maris is not an
eternal sleep. Mr.. Maris is "A bright
example of the results of an honest and
useful life.
He commenced life poor, but by his
push and industry, his honesty and in.
tegrity, he aInassed comfortable sus
tenance for bereaved family. He wa.
one Of those dffident kind of men who
never brought himself forward for any
prominent position, but was generally
sought out by the people, the o,iic,
seeking the man and not the man til,
office. II is to his credit To know thai
lie served Two years ~ Clerk of City
Council, two terms as Mayor of the city,
TWO terms az President Of the City
e mncil, and one term i'll the Legisla
inre, the Offices all being the ee-wil

There are men who make more dash and
show in the world than Joshua Mari,
~vrr made, but the number that di,
more prac .ical good in the spheres il
which he moved, is small indeed.

It took about five weeks after the
scandals about Cleveland appeared in
some of the public papers before any
ching could be found againstMr. BlaiHe's
private character. But 1t has come at
last, and it comes all the way from
Kentucky, where Mr.. Blaine taught
school over thirty years ago. What it
Ia, we are not informed, but the New
York Herald implores the Democratic
papers not to publish it "a it would only
drive votes away from Mr.. Cleveland,
and raise sympathy for Mr.. Blaine. We
rather think the Herald should have
thought of this sooner, before it led the
attack upon Mr.. Blaine's character. 1t
IL rather too late in the day now to call
of the dogs, and its assumed character
grace after its own candidate becomes
smeared all over with private social
vices that cannot be rubbed out. If
Mr.. Blaine has been guilty even thirty
years ago, when he was but boy, any
thing like half as bad as the substanti-
ated charges against Grover Cleveland
committed within ten years past, let it
all come out. Give it an airing before
the public. 1t will do good instead of
harm. We frankly say that if Blaine,
rs the Republican candidate, was
charged with what Grover Cleveland is
charged, and he could not present bet
ter bill of clearance from these charges
th An Cleveland has, he should be with
drawn asa candidate, or if not with
drawn he would be defeated. But the
people need have no fear of Mr.. Blaine s
moral character. His public and pri-
vate life will stand the strictest test OF
scrutiny. If it is true. as the Herald
and Times all-ge, tha5 some Chicago
paper has published scandal about
him, the people may rest assured tha
there is no truth in it. II there had
been 1t would have been given TO tn,
public ear long before this time in the
campaign.
Ii the Democrats ever intended it tC
have any effect they were unwise il
bringing it out so long after the scan
dial OF Mr.. Cleveland appeared. Re.
taliation and revenge too plainly
mark the whole proceeding, and W,
tan assure the Herald that the Repub
l:cans ara very indifferent about wha,
reports are pu in circulation against
Mr.. Blaine. Barnum showed some
wisdom in The management of the pub
lication of the M'rey Chinese lette
scandal against Garfield. That wa
kept off until near the close of tn
campaign, when there wls not suti
Gent time left TO fully refute the lii
and through thar want of time Garfield
really did lose California and Nevada
We hardly think Barnum has had an,
hand in connecting this story whateve
it is against Mr. Blaine. 1t is too silly
for his work and must be The Job o

AT that time all the charges against

other effect upon him than TO increase

Here Is more information that will
be useful to those persons who are al
ways growing at the high price Of liv-
ing In this country compared with the
cost of living In free trade European
countries. Mr.. Charles Hill, statisti.
clan Of the State Department, having
charge Of the compilation Of theU United
States Consular reports, gives the fol-
lowing ratios of wages paid in the
countries named, together with the
ratios of the cost Of living. For con-
venience the figures are divided into
|twelfths, and the United States is taken
as the standard
United States, wages, IL Great
Britain, Z; France, 4 Germany, 4 F.;
Italy, 3.
United States, cost of living, 6 ;
Great Britain, IL; France 10; Germany,
9 Italy, 8.
United States, cost Of clothing, o;
Great Britain, 4; France,3X; Germany,
3 Italy, 81.
United States, In mode of living, 6 ;
Great Britain, 9 !; France, 4; Germany,
2; Italy, ~.
United States, in thrift of saving, 9 /;
Grea: Britain, 5 France, 6; Germany,
10 Italy, 81
We hope we will hear no more from
free trade claquers about the cheapness
|ofliving in Great Britain when com.
pared to the United States. Only In
the matter of clothing, as we before as
serted, does that country excel. 1t
ought to excel in that respect. 1t takes
enough from the wages of its working
people to make it excel in something.
Look at the wages paid. Only one
twelfth over half what the United
States pay. Why should not Great
Britain excel in cheap clothing when it
so far excels in cheap wages? Every
reduction of the tariff brings us a step
nearer The European standard of living,
and the hundreds and thousands of inn
migrants who crowd our shores should
he enough to show American people
what that is. A low tariff will bring
the figures in the United States column
down to Great Britain's figures. The
Morrison tariff bill was a step in the
direction of Great Britain's fgures.-
Should the Democrats succeed in the
approaching Presidential election, re-
duction in the present tariff will follow,
just as sure as night follows day, aud
the working people who vote with the
Democratic party, vote for reduction
of their own wages, and an increase OF
all the necessaries of life except cloth
| ing.

Maud S. has gone into a stable where
her superior powers will be treated
with perfect respect. Mr.. Robert Bon
ner does not use his horses for racing
purposes, although he gets the speed
out of them. He is more interested in
improving the American horse by
training, care and breeding than in
any other respect. He will not use so
fine a creature rs Maud S. for securing
gate money or winning wagers, and
and whatever her performances here
after may be on the turf there will be
no doubt as to the genuineness of the
effort or the honesty of the result.
The reported price paid for Maud S.
by Mr.. Bonner-$4O, ,OOO-is merely
nominal, as Mr.. Vanderbilt had an
offer of 100000 for the mare from per-
sons desiring to use her as n mere
mOney-getting machine; but still it is
said to be the largest price ever paid
for a horse, Rarus, also owned by Mr..
Bonner, standing next, at $4,000.

Governor Cleveland has finally made
public his letter accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency
of the United States. He approves
the platform adopted in Chicago, gives
a definition of what is government by
the people, makes the usual Democrat
ic allusion to "a horde of of1ice-hold-
ers," touches lightly on the labor
question, contends for the rights of the
individual, favors improvement of the
waterways of the country, delivers a
homily on the duty of public servants,
and promises that if elected he will be
a good President. 1t is very guarded
in its utterances. His literary style is not
as brilliant as that of Blaine nor as
pungent as that of Butler. His value
as u newspaper man would be that of a
reporter, while Blaine would undoubt-
edly be the leading editorial writer
and Butler the paragraphist-that is il
they were in the journalistic market.

What Saved Him.

A young wife had just settled in her
new home. All seemed fair and prom
ising, for she did not know her hus-
band was drunkard. But one night
he came home at a very late hour, and
very much the worse for liquor.
When he staggered into the house his
wife was very much shocked, told him
he was sick, and must lie down at
once, and in moment or two he was
comfortably on the sofa, in a drunken
sleep. His face was reddish purple,
and altogether he was a pitiable look
ing object
The doctor was sent for in haste, and
mustard applied to the patients feet
and hands. When the doctor came
and felt his pulse, and examined him,
and found he was only drunk, he said:
He will be all right in the morn
ing"
But the wife insisted that he was
very sick, and that severe remedies
must be used.
"You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, "Or will send
for some one who will"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved close, and blisters were applied.
The patient lay all night in a drunk
en- sleep, and Notwithstanding the
blisters were eating into his flesh, it
was not till near morning that he be-
gan to beat about, disturbed by the
pain.
About daylight he woke up in the
most uncomfortable consciousness of
blistered agOnies.
" What does this mean ?" he said,
putting his hand on his bandaged
head.
Lie still; you mustn't STIR" said
his wife, "you have been sick"
q" am not sick"
ooh, yes, you are; you have the
brain fever. We have worked with
you all the night"
-" 1 should think you had" grOaned
the poor victim. whats the matter
with my feet ?"
"They are blistered."
"Well, l am better now; take off the
blisters-dO," he pleaded piteously.
He was in a most uncomfortable
state-his head covered with sores, and
his feet and hands still worse.
Dear" he said grOaning, "if ever
1 should get sick in this way again
don't be alarmed and send for doc
tor; and, above all, don't blister me
again"
"Oh, indeed, 1 will! All that saved
you were the blisters. And if you
have another such spell, l shall be
more frightened than ever; for the
tendency, I am sure, is to apOplexy
and from the next attack you are
likely to die unless the severest meas
ures are used"
He made no further defense. Suf
fee to say that he never had another
attack.
