FEBRUARY 21,

Do you forget his stolid Indifference
the requirements of the city of Wilmingto
for new Federal buildings!-or the reyela
tion of a Bayard, hitherto the name abov
reproach, forgetting his dignity and the ur
gent needs of his constituents while STOPPING
to lobby in the interests Of the most grasp
ing monopoly of the country, the Dia
mond Match Company-what have we il
exchange, what are Senator Thomas F.
Bayard's redeeming qualities ?-simply the
reflex of a glo ious hereditary name and an
unexcelled superiority at the Capitol for the
preparation of terrapin sauce! However,
the latter is matter of some praise-worthi-
ness, for Delaware is known abroad solely
for its terrapins and Bayards-our state is
distinguished, at any rate, for nothing radi-
cally bad, its two leading productions are
properly recognized and appreciated the
world over.
There are few of our legislators at Do
yer, very few, it may be said to the credit
of the State of Delaware, who are ready to
obey the behests of the Hon. THOMAS F.
BAYARD and endorse the protege of cur
great man. But let them remember in do
ing SO they are recreant to tler oath of Of
flee as Delaware legislators and apostate to
the spirit of independence as citizens of this
country. In the nomination of his protege,
the Hon. THOMAS F. BAYARD does not
place Mr.. Gray in the vacant Senator's
chair, but Mr.. Bayard places THOMAS F.
BAYARD there, and that is domestic fact
which though the Senate of the United
States may not know, all Delaware, all Will
mington, and the Legislature at Dover are
thoroughly aware of.
The question is to what extent of extrava-
giant Indebtedness is the State of Delaware
and compromised head over heels
to THOMAS F. BAYARD that its citizens must
continue the patronage and sacrifice OF all
public offices not alone to the personal
members of the family but that friends and
acquaintances are also placed on the pension
list to whom are given or promised, even
before they become vacant, the best offices
in the gift of our citizens.
Does his medieval craftsmanship on the
Nicaragua question call up our vehement
applause? ? His action in this connection in
such a halting manner so led his. party in
Congress that the whole South and West
have heaped upon him their contempt and
derisiohl His hesitancy upon the silver
question at this moment when the probabil-
itv is imnepding of its hecnmino, a,..es
upon the market, and millions of dollars Of
our gold reserve are being monthly with
drawn from the national treasury. Why
does he not relieve the citizens of this coun-
try of the millions of trade dollar frauds per
petuated by his .connivauce, inaction, or
tacit approval! All look to him for guild
ance and he is as silent as sphinx with the
exception Of the notable aud graUuitous as
sertion that it is not incumbent upon the
United States to meet its own obligations.

The attention of the citizens of the Stat
of Delaware is drawn to the dignified ant
honorable position maintained by the Hon
CHARLES B. LORE throughout the presen

interests of the Hon. George Gray as his
Senatorial successor. This abrupt descent
into the slough of caucus politics is a con-
trast and commentary upon the once bright
escutcheon of the House of Bayard How
contemplate How degenerate Delaware
has looked with pride upon the past record
of the name of Bayard. With that name
blazoning its banner it stood in the fore
front of It's sister States of the Union
Let us contrast the recent political hob
nobbing at Dover participated in by our
senior Senator with the consistent and repu-
table course pursued at this juncture by the
Hon. CHARLES B. LORE. Mr.. LORE recog-
nizes the fact that duty to his constituents
demands his presence at Washington during
the business sessions of Congress. Mr..
LORE would rather sacrifice the Senatorial
honors which his numerous admirers
throughout the State concede as due to him
than neglect the duties which his oath of
office as Representative in Congress exact.
Contrastedly how have Mr.. BAYARD and
Mr.. LORE been occupied during the present

rible onslaught which is made on said office.
Turn whithersoever you may, when the
question is asked''Who shall fill the expected
Senatorial vacancy ?" the cry goes up from
all, "CHARLEs B. LORE" In the presence
of this expressed wish of the people no one
can point to single "dicker" either per-
sonal or political that has been made or
suggested by Mr.. LORE to further his own
political advancement The Republican op-
ponents of this gentleman concede his politi-
cal respectability and cheeerfully accord to
him their personal and public esteem.
When brought before the bar of his con-
stituency for reelection the attestation OF
belief of all Democrats in Mr.. LoRE's integ-
rity is demonstrated by according to him
the largest vote ever given to public man
in the State Of Delaware. Mr.. LoRE's
Democracy is not that stripe of Democracy
that is dstasteful to his party.

A Box at Every Stroke.

In the recent parade of the trades
unions there were several banners
bearing such inscriptions as: Use No
Goods Put Up in Machine-Made
Boxes!' and Boycott Machine-Made
Boxes, or Let Good Men Starve!"
George Blair, the socialist agitator and
boxmaker, was asked Yesterday what
grounds there was for opposition to
machine-made boxes.
about ten years ago." he replied,
there was no such thing as machine
made box. Nowadays, in some trades,
there is no such thing as handmade
box. Formerly the knocking together
of small boxes for soap. oil, ETC., was q
trade by itself, at which nearly five
hundred men in this city made fair
wages. The wood was cut out by ma
chinery and the workmen nailed the
pieces together. About 1874 some man
improved considerably upon machine,
which hammered in at one blow all the
nails on one side of the box. Since then
Improvement has followed improve
ment, until now you pour keg of
nails at the top of the machine. and a
boy feeds the wood in at the bottom.
All that the boy does is to put in the
right pieces and in proper order, the
machine doing all the rest.
The machine works so well and so
fast that the men have been driven out
Of the business by boys, the price of
such work having dwindled until no
man can support himself at it. In 1873
the Standard Oil company paid So for
knocking together one hundred boxes.
Thanks TO the machine it now gets the
same work done for q cents. The
work OF mailing the boxes together
costs less than the nails used. The
boxes l speak of are used to put oil
cans In, and many measure twenty in
ches in length, ten inches in height,
and fourteen inches in width The
Standard Oil company saves fortune
every year by the use of these ma
chimes, and so it is with soap boxes,
some starch boxes, etc. in fact, every
sort of box that is made in very large
quantities of one particular size. In
the meantime the men who used to
look upon boxmaking rs their business
want to know what they are going to
do"
Are the handmade boxes much
better than those made by machinery"
Certainly; but the difference is not
great enough to offset the cheapness of
macnlne-made goods. In mailing a box
together man will not send the nail
through a knot or into rotten bit.
The machine knows no better Still,
as say, the difference in price is ire
mendous, and the machine is bound to
make further inroads iuto the business
My class of work does not require it
yet, but it may some day. By asking
consumers to boycott goods that are
put up in machine. made boxes they
hope TO delay the day when every COM
mon box viii be turned out by machin-
cry. | confess that while | sympathize
with the men, and realize that the III
PRODUCTION of the machine is taking
bread ana butter out of their mouths,
| do not see how they can fight against
it any more than against any other la
bor-saving machinery. But the five
hundred boxmakers now out of work
feel so badly used that they can not
help uttering some sort of protest,
even though they know it is useless"

Too Professional.

In Western city lives an undertak-
er, by the name of Brown, great wag.
and always ready to play a joke; also
doctor, who is joker, and is always
ready to tell on himself, and mon
ument-maker" who is of the same kid
ney.
One day the doctor was driving at
full speed down business street when
Brown spied him. Brown was in his
wagon with the sign of his profession
on the side. Whipping up his horse
he came as close to the doctor as pos
sible, and glancing round, he spied the
monument-lnaker. Calling to the
monument-makcr to hurry up, Brown
called out: go on, doctor, 90 on;
we're coming
The doctor looked round, and dis
may was pictured on his countenance.
He whipped up his horse, but all to no
purpose, the undertaken and the mon
ument-maker following closely At
last the ridiculous part of the thing
struck him, and leaning back in his
buggy he gave vent 10 his laughter, in
spite of the thought, What a sign for
prominent physician this is!'-Edt-

He Was Howiing Glad.

Love is good deal like the car ca

cisco Chronicle. 1t is endless, it goes
on ali the time, but it doesn't matter q
cent what car it is drawing. You've

ever you put into the box is gone.
There was man in Oakland who had
sweetheart. l suppose there are
sweethearts. several who have the same
sweetheart, several who have several
sweethearts. But this man had one
sweetheart whom he adored, as only a
man who finds it hard to get sweet
heart and does not feel sure of her
then, can adore. He wanted some
thing precious to keep for her sake.
So he got permission OF the Central
Pacific railroad and came over to San
Francisco one afternoon. A friend of
his was going to Dresden and happy
thought struck the lover.
II want you to do something deli
cate for me" he said to his friend.
What is it?"
He took out of his pocket a photo
| graph and lock of hair.
Look at this. Isn't she lovely?n
Well, she was about 40, broad-faced,

The friend went to Europe and came
back. In Dresden he had made in
| quiries, and found what was required
would cost $50. He made up his mind
that anybody who wanted that girl
painted and was willing to pay $50 for
| it was an idiot. So he came back with
out the porcelain. He had been back
| some time, when he met the Oakland
man on the street. Strangely enough
the Oakland man avoided him, but he
was cornered.
"Hullo' Got back? How did you en-
joy yourself"
| Not word about the commission.
At last the Frisco man spoke up.

The Oakland man gave jump of

A House on Legs.

A number of years ago party of
English naturalists, with several ma
tive attendants, penetrated a previous
ly UNEMPLOYED portion of India for the
purpose of establishing stations, and
eventually opening up country very
rich in natural advantages. Upon
reaching a suitable spot, the workmen
commenced their task of erecting a
substantial building. 1t was neces-
sary to have large cellar and deep
eXcava ton was made.
The earth was dry and sandy. and
was worked with ease. The absence
OF large stones was noticed; indeed,
there was found no hard substance
that would have interested a geologist.
But late in the afternoon of the first
days work, one of the natives struck
his pick against resisting substance.
Another blow, and the implement
broke through into a hollow space.
The earth being scraped away, large
smooth object was exposed, of so
strange an appearance that the atten-
ton of the commanding officer was
called to it. He at once pronounced
it bone.
hO 1aS1 tudt luCy udu COtuc upon
the grave or strange animal created
great excitement, and all hands went
to work clearing away the sand. As
they progressed, their wonder and
amazement increased also; their dis
coyery began to assume the shape of :,
dome, and appeared to be rounded off.
Finally, when four feet or more of SAND
had beer cleared away, they saw Il
hut-shaped object, that seemed,
through the hole made by the pick, to
be partly hollow. The natives one and
all thereupon declared it a hut, or
house, built by some of their ances-
tors, that had in course of time been
covered by earth. Others thought it
one of the dwelling places of a strange
people who lived under the earth; but
to the English naturalists there was d
more simple explanation, for the cur
ious house was the shell of gigantic
turtle belonging to an age long past.
The work progressed rapidly; and
though exposed to the sun some parts
broke in pieces, the entire she'll was
successfully uncovered and a complete
restoration of it was made.
The shell was that of Il land-tortoise.
Hundreds of thousands OF years ago it
had lived and died and the dust,
sand. and vegetation had gradually
covered it up and preserved it as a
monument of the animal wonders oil
that ancient time.
SO enormous was the shell that when
the sand and dirt were removed, sew
eral of the men crawled into it; in fact,
it might have been used as house
and on subsequent occasion was SO
used by party who took refuge in it
during sudden shower. Gtaht Iiur-

An American Westminster Abbey.


The conditions which made, and
make. Westminster Abbey are wholly
lacking in this country, and will be
, forever lacking.
In the first place, we ought to have
a single London, instead of six or
seven, each vociferously claiming to be
the only original genuine London, the
one bright particular spot upon which
the national mausoleum should be
erected. In the second place. such an
institution should be under the egis Of
great established church, in default
of which our Pantheon would ulti-
mately become the receptacle of ex-
tinct pugiliSts and those local states
nen who prepare themselves behind
bar-room counters for the tolls (and
spoils) of public life. With each change
of the administration there would be a
revolution in the management Of the
Pantheon, and a cry to "Iurn the
rascals outr' With the straight Re-
publicans in office, no horrible Mug
wump, however distinguished, would
be allowed sanctuary there; with the
Democrats In power, the gates would
be pitilessly slammed on the noses OF
defunct offensive partlsans. In the
thru place, the tomb at Mount Yer
non and the romancer's grave on the
hillside in Sleepy Hollow Ito mention
no other shrines) are very well where
they are, ami no sensible person wants
them removed. In regard to celebri-
ties who may hereafter pass away-and
here comes in a perplexing contingent
cy-it is by no means certain that their

There is something very impressive
and touching in the idea of Poets
Corner, where the sweet singers and
sober historians and realistic novelists
are peacefully brought together Chow
ever little they may have agreed with
one another in the tiesh), and flattercd
with statues and mural tablets; but If
the nation really wishes to honor that
class gifts unprotected but faithful chill
dren, and at the same time do honor to
itself, let the nation make an equita-
bic copyright treaty with England,
and the literary fellers will provide
their own headstones. Such 4 treaty
would cost less than an attempt at an
American Westminster Abbey, and
would be greatly preferable to that
amusing but, fortunately, Impractical

A man of letters wants so many
things before he wants to be buried-a
comfortable income while living is so
much more satisfactory than a sculp-
tureG monument when dead-that this
talk about national Pantheon, in the
absence of AN international copyright
law, is, so far as he is concerned,
little exasperating. 1t falls coldly on
his ear when he reflects how he is pill

even his native land gives him only
few years proprietorship in the work
of his own hand and brain.-NOvena6er'
