VIM. Pinkney Whyte openly declares
himself on the whiskey ISSUE He was
one of the excursionists from Baltimore
to Havre- de-Grace on Wednesday, and
on being introduced said:
81 have been temperance man and a
teetotaler from my childhood, and l am
glad that we have struck town in which
whiskey has no command, and for this
reason only | accepted the invitation to
come among you. Here my ancestors
were born, and was born on the banks
of the magnificent stream known as
Jones's Falls. True, was born on the
western bank, but East Baltimore reaches
across the stream; so feel can stretch
out one hand to Havre-de- Grace and the
other to Baltimore, and drawing them
together to that embrace I hope your
mayor now enjoys with his bride in

THE story Of a "plucky'' young wo-
man who would not be put down by
the rudeness of the sterner sex comes
from Dickinson College. Miss Zadie
Longsdorf a bright and intelligent girl
had the temerity to compete for one OF
the oratorical prizes last week. When
she began the delivery of her address
her gallant masculine competitors
undertook to hoot her down. But she
had plenty of nerve, and in spite of the
rowdies delivered her Grafton in fine
style, and challenged round of ap-
plause that silenced her prosecutors.
When will silly yourg men learn that
they are at best only the physical su-
perors Of the other sex, and IN many
cases not even that. The young hood
lums in this case learned lesson it is
to be hoped their class generally will
not forget.

SINCE the adverse vote OF last week
on Mr.. Morfson's tariff scheme, a
number of free trade Democratic Jour
nails have been denouncing very Sc.
verely, the democratic representatives
who opposed it. Henry Watterson's
sheet, the Louisville Courier /ou,ual
has been indulging high strung tone.
1t reads out of the party tbiriy-fve
Democrats who had the courage OF
their con, ictions,a and voted against this
free trade scheme. Republicans are
willing that the line should be sharply
drawn in politics and legislation from
now on, upon the theory that the tariff
is not to be tinkered with by Demo
Gratis, who at best have no intelligent
idea how to do it. AS the Philadelphia
Drcoya says =: ERE is no halfway

EVERY one who has the interest of

EVERY one who has the interest ol
the church at heart will regret the fresh
ministerial scandal in the case of the
Rev. Waldo Messaros. The purity oi
the clergy is of vital importance to the
cause of morals and religion, and such
cases harm it more than the combined
attacks of skeptics and infdels. Mr.
Messaros claims to be the victim of a
black mailing scheme, or a plot to de-
stroy his character. If this fact can be
established, no punishment can be toe
severe for the offenders. On the other
hand, if he is guilty he should be dealt
with like other offenders of this class,
without regard to his previous calling
or position.

IT seems to be sensible suggestion
to incorporate the dloceses Of Easton
and Delaware, and thereby consolidate
the entire peninsula in one diocese to
be called the Diocese of Delaware.
As the salaries of the bishops Of these
dioceses are now inadequate, by uniting
them, it would be possible to pay a
salary In some degree commensurate
with the dignity of the office.

FREE TRADE DECEIT.

Randall told some pungent but whole
some truths to the Democratic free trade
suicides who so unwIsely forced him to
assume the ag' ressive lately III the
House and the truths lie told arc of
national importance, as they stamp the
free trade theorists with the ballcst de
ceit.
Speaker Carlisle lives only across the
river from Ohio. He is one of the ablcst
of the Democratic campaigners of the
country but what Democrat of OAio,
or of Indiana, or of West Viz mi, or
of New York, or of Connecticut, or of
New Jersey thought of asking, or per
mitting, Carlisle to stump any OF those
States in 1884?
Morrison is an able man on the huS-
tings but what debatable State heard
his voice for Cleveland in 1882 What
committee of Ohio, Indiana, West Eir-
glnia, New York, Connecticut or New
Jersey called or thought of calling,
upon Morrison to help them N the
battle?
And what debatable State, or what
State debatable or not, did not want to
hear Randall? In every close contest
he was wanted, and he was wanted
solely because he was expectei to cover
the deceit that a few leaders hoped
would give free trade the ,icto1y by de-
luding the people. They have been
deceived in Randall only as he has fail
ed to join them in deceiving the nation.
As it was in 1884, so it viii be in
1886 and again in 1883. Randall will
be wanted this year not only to save
the party at the polls from the free trade
deceit, but he will be wanted to save
Congressman who reluctantly followed
the despotic fre- trade organization of
the House. And he will be wanted
South as we'll as North, for the Sonth
is growing weary of free trade theorists
who protect only dstilleres and would
destroy diversified md lst,y. Randall
struck the marrow Of the issue when he
struck the deceit OF free traders, and
his ability, integrity and courage are
the chief hope of Democratic safety in
the future.-/Hia. Times.

publicans.

The Republican Executive Commit >.
of New Castle county met on Saturday
in Wilmington. There was a fair atteL.
dance. George w. Stone, chairman,
called the committee to order and an
nounced that the object of the meeting
was to dete rhine what action should be
taken with reference to organizing the
party for the coming campaign. Joseph
w. ii. Watson of Christiana hundred of
fered the following resolution
ResoLrcd, That this committee deem it
inexpedient at this time to make any
nominations during this camplign.
The subject was fully discussed by the
members present, and considerable oppo-
sition to the resolution was expressed
But the general opinion seemed to pre-
vail that it was idle to contend against
the Infamous election laws of the State,
and the methods of administering them
practiced by the Democratic party; or,
as it was expressed by one: 1T is no use
to play against loaded dice" The fullest
confidence was e1 pressed in the fact that
the Republican party had an u l6oIbtcd
majority of the voters in the county and
city, but that under these par iSan cleo
tion laws it would be impossib bic to quail
ify the Republicans to vote, and un Ter
the outrageous manner of holding cleo
tions practiced in the lower wards of
Wilmington, it would be impossible to
obtain all honest result even if the ma
,jority of votes in the boxes should NJ
10 be Republican. Considerin ~
theze things, the committee adoptet = >

ELKTON. JUNE &c, 1886.

THE Cecil Democrat paraded at the
head of its local columns last week q
shameless personal attack upon the
editor of this paper, and one totally
unjustified by the alleged offence il
quoted.
Its writer talks of self-respect, yet
descends to the grave of deceased
brother, to rake up his frailties, with
which 10 strike maliciously and untruth,
fully the living one.
Our cotemporary is doubly welcome
to a monopoly of such matter. We

was intended to provoke.

IN the annual adjustment of the sal
aries of postmasters, nearly all Eastern
Shore towns get an increase except
Elkton and Port Deposit, which have
been reduced. The Baltimore 14meri-

done this, while in Cecil county appli-
cants could apply personally, and
thereby save postage. We hope our

TEMPERANCE IN DELLA
WARE.

One of the most e9re2ious errors
that the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard ever
committed in his life, was the use OF
his influence to defeat a local option
bill in the last Delaware Legislature,
and which opposition deprived the
people of that State of the right to say
by their ballots, whether or not the
sale OF intoxicating liquors should be
licensed there. There seems to be no
doubt that this active opposition of
Mr.. Bayard to anything looking like
temperance legislation, has rapidly
chrystalized sentiment in Delaware in
favor OF the formation of a temperance
party. At least the new temperance
party was fully organized at Dover on
Tuesday NTH warked enthusiasm, and
if its candidates receive a large vote
this fall as there IS every indication
that they will. ruleing but divided
Democracy will have only itself to blame
The Republican, a leading Republi
can paper, admits that the platform
Of the new party is moderate and dig
nihed, and will claim the respectful
attention of other parties in making up
their PLATFORM The candidates Sc
lected are men of character and stand
ing, and the platform adopted meets
popular favor on the live issues of the
times The resolution on temperance
declares that I'd, lnkenness is fearful
evil, and the use of intcxicants is de
structive to home, health, life and rrop,
erty, and a prolific source of misery,
paupe1ism and crime. Nj men must
admit that the tide of human WrctChed-
ness is swelled to gigantic proportions
by the common use of alcoholic bever-
ages. To remedy this growing evil
we, therefore, favor such legislative
enactments concerning the manufac
ture and sale of Intoxicating beverages
as shall give to the people of our State
the opportunity of voting directly on
this question either by local option or
through constitutional amendments. y
