A Gard from the Editor,
To he people of Lodon9e,1V;

To The people Of londonderry;
! learn that II number of YOU, my
fellow citizens, are advocating my cleo
ton as representative to the State leg
stature; putting it upon the grounds
that the SITTER has done noble work
for the people in advocating honest
men and honest political methods, and
stripping bare the dirty political worker
and caucus packer, Also that it would
be II just rcbukc to the parties that have
been and are trying TO suppress it.
Now, | desire, in all candor and
franRness, to say that ! an not NOE,
nor 8ecel &hdH be u candidate for Of
flee. have 10 aspirations of that kind,
but am perfectly content to labor in
the field have chosen. If my fellow
citizens are disposed to give me credit
for good works | only desire that it
be supplemented with the conviction
that this work was done through no per-
sonally interested motives, but from a
sense of right and duty, and with no
hope or desire that it should ever be re-
wardcd by an election to office. So
far as Il vindicaion of the course Of
the SITTER is concerned, or the rebuk-
ing of certain parties, its largely i'll
creased and ddHy increasing subscrip-
ton list is sufficient, and entirely salts
factory to myself. Grateful for this
manifestation of your appreciation and
good will, | beg to subscribe myself
yours for the best interests of the com.
mon people, but not for office.

A Pleasant Evening.

The twentieth anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. J. Frank Denney at their res
idence in White Hall Neck, on Friday
evening last, March Goth, was a So
cial event of more than usual occur
renee, embracing, as it did many OF the
families of the different "Necks" to-
gether with ten or dozen persons OF
this town, a larger number from Dover
with representatives from other places
numbering altogether 125 or more peo-
pie. The presents from the guests
were numerous and graded from the
useful to the handsome.
The host and hostess had made am
pie preparations in the way OF chicken
salad, fried oyster, and other substan.
tials and relishes, ending with cake ano
ice cream to satisfy every want of the
guests, and the evening could moi
have been otherwise than it was
most enjoyable one. The company die
not break up until a late hour. Tit
night was rainy and in the absence o
the usual nocturnal luminary whicl
did not even come as a faint relief unit
about one o'clock, the night was yer,
dark.-so dark that some of the neigh
bors even got lost, but this fact, as sue
episodes usually do, added as an afte
consideration, to the laughable if no
the most enjoyable experiences OF tn
evening.

THERE is much regret among the
journalists of Wilmington especially,
as well as the citizens at large, over
the death of Chas Reynolds Jr., editor
of the Morning Herald of Baltimore, at
the age Of % years. Mr.. Reynolds
was a man of more than usual gifts as
was manifest by his being called to the
chief editorship of a daily paper at the
early age of 26 or p years. His death
is however a sacrifice to this carly
mental force,-it was strained beyond
its proper tension, the silver bowl was
broken, and the bright spirit fed. He
was a graduate of the High School of
Wilmington, a law student Of Wm.

mission to the bar chose at once the

THERE is general expression OF
qualification that the knights OF Labor
have such level headed and conser-
vative power for their Grand Master
Workman as Mr.. Powderly. TO him
more than any other source is due the
restraints that have been exercised over
the knights when an encouragement
or a command would have sent them
into violence and the worst disorder.
He insists that the Knights must not
fritter away their strength by rushing
into ill-advised and useless strikes.
He counsels them to have patience,
even if they have to submit to imposi-
tion and Injustice for a time, and mean
while to find out what they are justly
entitled to, trusting that the tribunal
of arbitration will finally secure them
Justice. He says: "Out of 10000, 900
people in the United States and Canada
our order has probably 100000
They are yet but one in twenty, and
have not either the strength or disci
pline necessary to win their battle fol
inst treatment and fair play. He hai
manifestly been protesting in the secre
meetings of the order against the ex
tension of strikes, while Loyalty stand
ing by the order in the face of its Op
ponents and the world in general. HI
declares he will maintain such falls
position no longer, and that "eithe
the local and district assemblies of tn
order must obey its laws, or 1 must b
permitted to resign from a vOcatio
