The trouble has beel brewing ever since Mr.
Bsyard became Secretary of State. Mr..
Belmont remembered that he had on two
occasions offered to pay onehalf the ex-
penses of the campaign if Mr., Bayard were
nominated, but Mr.. Bayard apparently for
got all about it, as new.made honor gener-
ally does. Mr.. Belmont and Perry took
between them, number of snubs and
Sights and good Zeal Of hulfy' behavior
from Mr.. Bayard."
1t takes two parties to make quarrel.
The down-state folks have not quarreled
with ex-senator Bayard but, at the same
time his high and mighty, exclusive, ideas
have justly incensed his erstwhilc friends of
Delaware. The general sentiment in this
state seems to be that Secretary of State,
Thomas F. Baya.''s too great man for lit
tie Delaware. The. great man is quickly
developing very notable characteristic
that of estranging bis friends and embrac-
ing their enemies. He is perfect irreeou-
cileable and is as independent Of favors con.
ferred upon him as he is, to all appear
ances, forgetful of the recognition of such
an idea as a day of ietributiou.
1t is in reflection uron this last point that
the ex-Senator's former friends here find
matter upon which TO think deeply. Here
is a man upon whom the State of Delaware
heaped high every honor which his fellow
citizens had it in their power to give This
was not done once, but freely again and
again. In fact Delawareans did more for
their once "favorite SOM than the records
of any state of the Union can show-they
did it dd nauseGm. They did it for grand
son, father, and grandfather, until at length
it would appear as II this name of Bayard
had hereditary lien ON all the benelices of
Delaware, What have we in return. We
have, as the French say ''to accept the as
surance Of his highest esteem"! Well,
from such an exalted character as Thomas
F. Bayard such condescension may be con
sidered payment in full,

Among the greatest protective agencies is
A taste for reading. One seldom secs per-
son of such tastes in the ranks of the fast
young men who are getting in their crop OF

than such a taste; indeed, it is wonderful

with the different sorts of dissipation. A
young man who has his business to study,

vote to other things, but such time may be
filed up, and by cultvating taste for that

EX-MarsIal McMullen Tacitly Ira
duced.
Morning News.


Secretary Bayard no doubt sweled with
conscious satisfaction when Henry IL. Nc
Mullen's official head fell off. Mr.. Bay
ard at that time settled an old score, but
he seems to have put his foot in it when lie
preferred charges against Mr.. McMullen.
The Democratic officials in the Department
of Justice have given the ex-marshal a
clean bill, besides a substantial recognition
of his services as a conscientious servant of
the government, and Mr.. Bayard will have
to fall back upon the "offensiVe PARTISAN
ship" plea. Mr.. McMullen was made an ex-
ample by Secretary Bayard and he is the
only Federal officer of any Importance in
the state who has had to walk the plank.
When the inside history of the senatorial
contest of last spring, the defeat of Mr..
Lore, and the appointment of Marshal New
lin is written, the public will understand just
how the civil service reform Secretary of

street gossip that when the hungry faithful
made rail upon Mr.. Bayard for the loaves
at Sixth and King streets, the willy sec
retary suggested to one of tine aspirants for
the marshaiship that he should ''prefer
charges" against Mr. McMullen. The gent
leman refused with scorn, upon ground that
the incumbent was honest and there were
no charges to be made. Mr., Bayard then
made the charges himself and Mr.. Newliu,
who was getting very importunate took the
plum, while the other man was left. The
Lore men have not forgotten their defeat
and Mr.. Bayard' S political bed will not be
so rosy and comfortable next year when
he attempts to put his friend Chandler in
the gubernatorial chair.

Home Conversation.

Children hunger perpetually for new
ideas, They will learn with pleasure from
the lips of parents what they deem drudgery
at study in books; and even if they have the
misfortune to be deprived of many educa-
tional advantages, they will grow up intel
lgent people We sometimes see parents
who are the life of every company which
they enter, dull, silent aud uninteresting at
home among their chiIdten. If they have
not mental stores sufficient for both, let
them use what they have for their own
household. A silent home is a dull place
for young people-a place from which they
will escape if they can. How much useful
information and what unconscious, but OK
cellent mental training, in lively social ar
gument. Cultivate to the utmost the art Of
conversation at home.

Abuses in the Market,

BY inquiry among the butchers Of King
street it may be ascertained that certain
abuses exist in regard to the sale of diseased
meat. 1t seems that these rumors are well
founded, and that when full evidence is in
hand against those who are known to be
infringing the laws, the tradesmen of King
street who carry on a legitimate business in
the butcher trade, will see to it that a CON
viction is brought against the infraetors of
the market laws.
One party is known to have bought COW
with diseased hoof, slaughtered the beast
and sold the carcasc. One of the purchasers
who saw the animal before it was slaugh-
tered bought shin and can testify as to the
condition of the meat Within the last few
months another party who is carrying on an
illegal butchering business can be proved to
have bought, for slaughteriug purposes, a
COW badly affected with lung fever. He
paid $l5 to farmer of his neigborhood for
the diseased brute. The animal was in
such an extreme coudition of prostration
from the disease that witnesses say its hard
breathing could 0e heard for two squares
as it was driven staggering along to the
place of slaughtering.
The same butcher y bought another
within few days of calving, slaughtered
the cow, dressed the calf and sold both on
King street market. This man stands on
King street above Sixth. 1t is asserted
that the farmers in the neighborhood
all around where this man lives resort to
him in order to dispose of their sick, worn
out, and aged cattle
1t is obvious that whatever weight of fact
belongs to the above allegations, the in
sasAGs%eRts gy Z Tls is the case Simply mfy
because carcase for which only SIS has
been paid can be retailed in the market so
as to bring in profit to the seller of at least
$50 per cent
The thought that strikes the citizen when
pondering upon the matter is that if those
Of our fellow citizens who go to market for
the purchase of meat cannot, as rule dis
Germ in the goods lying on the butchers
stand, whether it has come from beast af-
Iected with some disease, it is time that the
interlcred for their protection,
and that some surveillance by an expeTienc.

were introduced, who can, at sight, detect
meat unfit for human food, aud who will
have peremptory authority for its confisca-
lion aud the prosecution of those caught in
this heinous infraction of municipal and
health laws
There is another point still-tbis Illicit
business is serious hindrance and pecuni-
ary loss to the legitimate butchering trade.
Our worthy tradesmen in that business have
considerable difficulty in ge etting along these
hard times. They pay high rent and a null
tipicity of taxes for the privilege of carry
ng on their trade. They are a most esti.
nable body of men, and no one can com
plain of the grade of goods they expose for
'ale. They are entitled to the support Of

The Episcopal Liturgy.

Episcopalians in this country do not form
preponderatingly large body of American
Professionalism. But very large number of
the members of what are known as the
popular denominations, such as Methodists,
Baptists etc, have some knowledge of the
| Episcopal liturgy, and some indeed are in
innate with that beautiful service. We
sec with feelings of trepidation and sincere
regret the iconoclastic attempts OF certain
New York Episcoq qalians to eliminate and
alter various parts of that most magnificent
and impressive service. The church book
of Common Prayer is coeval in our YER
nacular with the King James version Of the
Bible 1t contains the most eloquent and
soulstirring appeals to the deity ever utter
ed by human lips,
Who has not heard with delighted ears
that ancient and familiar prayer of the sill
ver-tongued St. Chrysostom, and that ten
der appeal to the Almighty, found in the
''Molning Service" the authorship of which
is ascrbed to the maFtyred King
Charles!
But the fervid religious poetry of this no
blest and most magnificent collection of SER
vice and song of our language is but one
phase of its attractiveness. The grandeur
of the music, u.s. to those who can concur
rently read it in a historical sense, perhaps
as impressive sentiment as can be afforded
to English speaking people Of the present
day. Those who have sat and listened to a
choral service in old Trinity Church, New
York have brought away with them an i'm
preston that can never be forgotten.
Surely it is time that the evolution of
American thought sacrificed something Of
that contemplate phase of idea that "ve
must have something different from other
people the spirit of innovation is
identified with the North American
type!
We may not, without injustice say to
those sacrelgious iconocIasts who would
rend the Episcopal liturgy in pieces, as was
said to Moses on the mount Take off thy
shoes, for the place upon which thou stand
eth is holy ground" Do those individ-
uals who so lightly take up this matter, con
slider that their nineteenth century, bust
ness-flled mentalities, can evolve anything
that could fit as substitute for what ex-
lists in that time-honored liturgy Their
ideas are inspired by the worst phase of
shoddyism, American shoddyism! The
prayers yersicleF, eanticles and chants are

influential and uncompromisngly Demo
cratic journal in the state Of New Jersey,
the Central New Jersey Herald.
The Herald in discussing the results of
the Ohio election does not mince matters,
but it places the responsibility Of Demo-
cratic defeat where it belongs, that is upon
Cleveland's namby-pamby, idiotic policy,
1t SAYS
'The enthusiasm of the Democrats of Ohio
has been chilled and all their grand energies
were repressed by the failure of the Demo-
cratic administration to obey the behests of
the people and we see the results in the cleo
tion of Republican governor by plurality
of at least 10000. This is a humliating
contemplation of the efforts of Democratic
national administration in the first year of
its existence, after suspension of its pre-
ponderance for quarter of century, but W g
must look at the facts as they are, and not
as we would have them. There is no Re-
publican state in the Union where the Dem
ocrats had better chance to win than in
Ohio this year, whose local disturbances,
added to the temperance movement gave us
an opportunity to make a brilliant and effect
i've canvas. But Democrats are not fools.
They are disappointed in Cleveland and
have the honesty to say so at the ballot-box.
They elected Democratic president to Sc
cure Democratic rule, and the president has
given them in its stead a hermaphrodlte
cross between the Mugwump and Republ-
can. This is the cause of the Democratic
defeat in Ohio, and will have the same effect
i'll New York on larger scale, if the presi-
dent does not elect to be either fish or flesh
before New York speaks out her convictions
at the ballOt-boX. The County Democracy,
led by Hubert o. Thompson, profess to be
the especial custodians OF the presidential
policy in tie empire state, and they are
found, just on the eve Of great struggle
refusing to combine with Tammany and Irv-
ing Hall Democrats, without whose friendly
offices the state must be lost to Hill. If the
president really wishes to see his party vic =
torious he would use his every energy TO
avert this schism, but he seems to look as Sc
renely upon the coming fight as the woman
who was spectatress of the combat between
her husband and the tenacious bear, not ap-
pearing to care continental which is squeez-
ed out of all recognizable shape. If Hill
should be elected, our versatile president
can say 81 desired his victory" If he be
pushed to the wall and Davenport is chosen
by i000 900 majority, our accommodating chief
magistrate is so situated by his Janus-fa faced
policy, that he can exclaim 81 told you so.
Why didn't you nominate Cooper and follow
my programmed" In truth there are thous-
ands of ineorruptible Democrats who view
with feelings of contempt the fast and loose
attitude of the administration, and will eth
er kesp themselves quiet during the contest

nor of Ohio last Tuesday, every Mugwump-
ian sheet in the land would have issued
flaming double loaded leaders as "The Pres
ident Endorsed" People speak for

that only two years ago George Hoadly was
elected Governor of Ohio by majority vote
of 12, 900 and Democratic Legislature at
his back, and on last Tuesday the Republi-
can candidate was elected by a majority of
10000, it will not be taken as evidence of the
popularity of President Cleveland.
Independent of local issues, the national
administration exerts in all state elections a
powerful influence On the result. If the
policy of the national government be in SYM
pathy with the people, they will give ex-
preston to that sentiment at the state cleo

In sizing up President Cleveland's admin

net that has not denounced either in the

ious habit of Republican officials accepting
railroad passes' and other gratuities from
railroad corporations, yet it is auUhorita-

every one of his constitutional advisers
travel as "dead heads"
For years, the very men who are now in
the Cabinet, protested loud and long against
the seat of the government being transferred

The present administration is neither one
thing nor the other has neither the con-
fidence of the Republicans nor the respect
of the Democrats, and on account of his
lukewarmness, because he is neither hot nor
