IT is announced to be the purpose
OF Mr. Cleveland not to give out his
Cabinet in fragments for the yerv
good reason that putting in the
seventh man might derange some of
the chosen six. It is thought the
Cabinet viii be announced entire on
the day before the inauguration. which
will occur week from to-day. In the
meantime there has been some shrewd
guessing and the makeup Of the Cab
met is pretty well determined upon
with Senator Bayard, Of our State AZ
its head, as Premier. According to
the best calculations Of the politicians
Il will stand as follows;
Secretary Of State, Thos. +. Bay
ard, Of Delaware Secretary Of Treas
airy, Daniel Manning. Of New York
Secretary Of War, w. F. Villas. Of

A Lie COntPadicted.

Mr.. EDTTOR-Last weeks Smyrna
Record contained an item conveying the
meaning that we purposely neglected
lighting the gas over the front door of
the Town Hall, on Thursday ninht
when John B. Cough lectured here
In so doing he knowingly and intco-
tionally lied for he was with us when
we tried to light il and couldnot owing
to its being frozen as it. was the Mon
day night previous; neither could We
light the one upon the corner for if is
not metre lamp and the gas company
does not allow it to be lit except when
the others are burning also. This is
not the first time that he has lied about
US, but is only one of many. and if
shows his cOWardice when he knows
we are not at liberty to defend our
selves against his attacks. AS fas as
his correspondent Anon" whom W.,
know, IS concerned, we do not consiGo~
him worthy of notice, except 10 sl..
that when we have become such small
potatoes as he has in this worlds basket
we VIII hand in our designations and
seek some quiet corner in which to die.
The editor Of the Record also states
that some Of his chairs were stolen
while we were asleep. To this charge
we will only say that had we known
that a thief had been at work in that
quarter we would have slept on until
every chair in the Hall was gone. after
the scurrlllOus manner in which he has
slandered Us, and wish the people of
TINS town and State to know that F
Snyder Phelps is nothing more nor
nothing less than an migrate aad
chrouic liar, cradled beneath the shadow
Of Bunker's Hill Monument. Hoping
that this explanation and contradiction
of blatant lie will satisfy the audience
at the Hall upon both nights in ques-
ton, remain,
Yours respectfully,

The bill which was introduced in
the House at Dover some two or
three weeks ago by Gundy Brown to
change the method of collecting taxes,
to do away with collectors and make
the County Treasurer responsible, as
was expected, is opposed by the poll
ticians and their organs, and not likely
even to come to a vote. ANY bill
that lessons rather than increases the
number of offices is likely to go by the
board.

has not been experienced since the
February of 1855. The closing half Of
the month has been the coolest. the
thermometer being nearly all the time
below the freezing point, ranging at
night from about zero to fifteen de-

milder weather, but with the immense

THE act which passed the Senate
at Dover a week or so ago and is now
pending in the House, governing the
sale of phosphate in Delaware, has
stirred up considerable opposition be-
cause it imposes so many extras in the
way of analysis that it will surely
cause the price to be raised by the
small manufacturers, or they will have
to stop business.

THE fact that President Arthur has
ordered civil service examinations at
various points in the South from the
18th to the 25th of March, and that he
scarcely would have done so without
some intimation that it would meet
the approval of his successor, as he
has been careful to throw no obstruc-
tions in the way Of his successor, is
looked upon as significant of Mr..
Cleveland's policy on civil service re-
form.

The information that three of the
Chicago ballOt-box suffers have been
convicted will be welcome news to all
honest men. 1t will be taken as an
encouraging proof Of the determina-
ton Of the people to keep the elections
pure and clean. The attempt was so
audacious, and, if successful, the result
would have been so far reaching, that
the event has attracted almost as much
attention as the notorious Tweed
frauds in New York City.

The great question for the decision
OF the Legislature after all will be the
succession Of Mr.. Bayard in the Senate
when he becomes Mr.. Cleveland's
Premier. New Castle county has
two candidates, Geo. Gray and Con-
gresham Lore. Mr. Bayard is said
to desire the former though the latter
has a strong support in Wilmington
and throughout the county. If, in the
conflict Of the clans, the choice shall
fall to him, it will necessitate the ex-
pense Of a special election for Con-
gresham. Sussex, that has had but
two Senators in some fifty years, will
make a push for ex-Representative

accomplished, John r. McFee

SMITH, little son of Jesse Vane.
residing near Severson's Church, dur
ing the Christmas holidays while hay
ing in his mouth some peanuts that
had been hulled, started to run across
the floor when he tripped and fell vio-
iently on his head. In the force of the
conclusion in unconsciously swallow
ing the cracked kernels, some of them
went down his wind pipe, it is said,
and lodged in his lungs, from which
time he began to waste away and grow
feeble. Last week he coughed one of
them up and it was hoped the difficulty
was removed, but he steadily grew
weaker and died on Sunday.

That fellows one of them. Been hers
four days with his bride, and neither of
them has been outside the house once Guess
they are going out to-day; he's just bought
a guide-book.
The clerk was right when he said, "How
easily you can tell 'em." A newly-wedded
pair can be picked out from thousand
others in spite of their efforts to appear like
a settled couple. with the cares of a family
upon them. Heis too attentive by half and
she too seIf-conscious to deceive a public
that has cut its wisdom teeth. If he was
little more careless and she gossipy and
smiling, then might they escape the inter-
ested glances of the curious.
On the horse-car especially is where these
folks meet their natural enemy-those peo-
pie who will stare. And The Critic-the
natural defender of the downtrodden, no
matter of what state, party, sect or sex
offers bit of advice gratis. by following
which the unprotected bride and groom may
escape much annoyance.
He might with effect tear off coat but
ton or twist his necktie out of place or sit
with his back to her and drum tattoo ON the
toe of his shoe with his cane. But so long
as he will persist in wearing those faultless
kids and that scarf exactly matching his
brand-new suit. and so long as he will keep
his face so cleanly shaven, just so long will
he continue to give himself away.
