Possibly gifted with a moderate in
tellect and ordinary common sense.
he might earn his living as a mer-
chant, doctor, or a mechanic and
his opinions would not be considered
worthy Of note; but let him take the
pen and scissors in hand and attempt
to make a living by laying before
the people such news and incidents
rs go to make up the weekly paper
and he is at once invested with an i'm
pOrtance of which he never dreamed. |
Two weeks ago the senior editor
of this paper expressed his opinion !
of a certain part of the Democratic
party but unfortunately did not make |
it clear that he only referred to part.
Possibly he presumed common sense /
would indicate that he did not mean
such language to apply to Hon. f.
f. Bayard, Geo. Gray, Governor
Stockley, w. F. Causey, or to the
principals of the party to which he
had always belonged, especially as
there were men standing around that
the cap fitted exactly; but he was an
editor asfd had no business to pre-
sue anvfFsing. For this inadver-
tence ne mas been called an ass. an i
idiot, commended to the insane asv- a
lum, and the whole history of the o
Democratic party for the last forty p
years has been firetlBean his head to Z
prove that he did not know what he
was talking about The next week C
he attempted to say what he did II
mean, and at once there arises an .
other how'll "he has been whipped y

Ehe two articles until he thinks thev ri

he editor remains serene, he believes m

If the State owes a duty to any of
her citizens, it is to the insane. Their
helplessness and the impossibilitv
of caring for them at home makes
them in every sense of the term her
wards, for whom she is bound to care
and provide. Every state in the
union except Delaware, and one or
two new ones, has acknowledged this
fact by providing public institutions
where the insane can be lodged and
cared for. 1t was impossible to get
clear of the responsibility entirely in
this State, so the counties have as
sumed part of the burden and have
more OF less commodious insane de-
partments, attached to the poor
house, while others are cared for in
was recoSeeoz other states. The /
...7--ln ...7- !il5 view Of the 0untias can do is to
make the insane comfortable, it is
impossible to give them the care and
attention that they require, and many
an unfortunate has become hOpelesslv
insane, who under scientific treat
ment might have been restored to
mental health.
The State has now an opportunity
to provide for these helpless citizens
a good insane asylum by buying the [
new buildings lately erected in New
Castle county, These buildings are L
well adapted for the purpose and can l.
be bought for less than cost, and no O
picayune spirit of economy should l
prevent the Legislature taking adj n
vantage Of this opportunity. If our o
'annted financial prosperity is to be n
preserved by obvious neglect ofdutv. o
We are in the position Of the miser ii
7ho became rich by denying himself lii
nd family the comforts of life. vi
Let the present Legislature make tn
n equitable arrangement with New nj
'astle county and provide a place til
here all the insane in the State can ia
ave proper care and medical atten- sv
ance, they will find it measure of wi
'onomy as well as kindness. elfFinie

IT is a common opinion that the
granting of special charters for rail
roads and other interpretations. is
productive of bribery and corruption
in the Legislatures granting them; in
ninty-nine cases out of a hundred
such charges are absolutely false.
Men of no principle are ever ready
and willing to employ bribery or cor
ruptiOn to accomplish their ends and
they will find professional lobbyists
who, preying upon their rascality.
will make them believe that a laroe
bribery fund must be put in their
hands. When this is done they put
it into their pockets and keep at least
ninety-nine cents out of every dollar
for their own use. Iftheir rasealitv
is discovered, those who employ
them dare not complain. for they are |
Particeps crfminls. Nevertheless
the good name Of the members oil
the legislature suffers all the same.
But it is only in rare and excep.
tional cases that the men elected bv
the people win so misrepresent them.

tyrannous and rayenous monopolies,
It is contradicted by the fact that, in

Cloths are not less worn
than usual. There is reason
for wearing them more than
usual, a double reason: they
never were better; theynever
were nearly so low. We

dollar ladies'-cloths for ~

there are more than twenty
colors, and more than twenty
mixtures.
The predominance Of mix
lures is notable. The mix
lures are notable themselves.
Formerly a mixture meant as
even color as one could get
by, mixing different-colored
woods. Nowtheyarestronger;
notifies rather than mixtures.
Altogether out of accord

there for a purpose. That
purpose is to concentrate all
the trade in ladies'-cloth on
them. There are plenty of
them. There isn't a better
