AN OLD LAWYERS DEArH.-Georpe
Q. Gordon, Esq, one of the Oldest
members of the New Castle county bar
died at his home, in Wilmington, Mon
day morning. Mr.. Gordon was born
In Wilmington and was past 60 wears
OF age. He was in his day considered
one of the ablest jury lawyers at the
Delaware bar. In politics he was a
Democrat up to the outbreak of the
war, when he warmly espoused the
UulOn cause and entered the Republi-
can ranks, though since that time took
no prominent part in politics. He was
deputy acknowledgement under VIII
lard Salisbury, and was for MANY
years previous to the lease of the p
W. q B. railroad by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company its counsel. When
the latter company took control he re-
signed. Diabetes caused his death.

That large amount of sympathy
has been wasted upon Mormon woman
is proved by the action of the female
advocates of polygamy in Salt Lake
City. At a recent crowded meeting
they vigorously protested against any
interference on the part of the govern
ment with their "rights," and passed
resolutions denOuncing the federal
courts for attempting to enforce the
laws. After such an offensive out
break and positive glorfcation in their
own shame, the last bit of compunc-
ton ought to be wrung from the govern
ment officials, and the whole nasty
brood, women as well as men, prose-
cuted to the full extent of the laws.

HARMONY.

There is a great deal of talk in the
Tennessee newspapers now about Dem
ocrdtc harmony. The Union and the
American have concluded an armistice,
as it were, and while the white flag flies
they are trying to arrange the terms Of
perpetual peace.
The CHRONICLE has all the time con-
tended that divisions among Tennes-
see Democrats are more fictitious than
real We made this reply to the "Yom
Kippur" proposition of the jackson
Tribune and Sun last fall.
The railroad commission question is
the only substantial State issue on
which the party could split, and that is
not properly party question. 1t is
treated as a non-partisan measure in
Congress and in all the States in which
it has been agitated except Tennessee.
It would be totally unreasonable to
expect large and respectable mi
nority to agree to railroad commits
sion Mt the command Of the majority.
1t should not be insisted, therefore, that
a railroad commission plank be inserted
in the Democratic platform. Such
measures, if carried at all, should be
left to the non-partisan action OF the
Legislature.
The differences in the Democratic
party have been kept alive by such
papers as the Nashville World and the
American, under its late infringement
These papers attempted to force their
own definition of what was true Democ-
racy, to lay down certain rules for party
government, and to bulldoze and brow.
beat the party into complying with theil
terms. This element has no longer {
substantial foothold in Tennessee jour
nalism, and the disturbances it created
may cease.
We have said before that the CHRoN1
GLE expects to give hearty support t.
the entire Democratic ticket nominated
in Tennessee this year, and now repea
it. II every other paper protesting Il
be Democratic will do the same thing
then harmony will prevail.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION BILL.

The Hoar Presidential Succession Bill
having become the law of the land, the
many other bills introduced for the
same purpose at which it aimed, perish
in their inclpiency.
Among these last named was the bill
proposing four years continuance OF
the electoral college the one thing on
which the Courier-Journal and Sam
Randall were ever known to be in sweet
concord. A bill that was capable OF
producing harmony between these par
ties was entitled to more consideration
and ought to have received better treat
ment. Such harmonicon measure
that could bring peace between the
warning elements OF Tennessee Democ-
racy would be a godsend
This electoral college bill, too, was
the one which the CHRONICLE pro-
nounced the best and which it hoped to
see become law. But, since the Joint
advocacy of Randall and the Courier
Journal was ofnoayail, weare not piqued
at having our advice ignored.
The bill passed is an improvement on
Aas~dd law, but is not without its de-
fects. 1t places the right of succession
in men whom the people had no voice
near or remote, in choosing, and the
electoral college plan would have secur
ed a succeeding President or Vice-Pres
ident by the same means that the con.
stitution provides for the election o
the President
But the time for argument has passed
the Hoar bill is the law and, whether i
is the best that could have been enacted
! or not, everybody is glad that the tim'
will never again occur when the nation
will stand in fear and trembling OF bein2
left withouta head

IT is a very poor argument to say
that silver should have unlimited coin
age because the people OF certain sec
tons clamor lorit; history will probably
show that popular ideas on finance are
not always correct. This writer was
quite young man previous to 1879, and
he believed then, because the majority
of the people whom he knew so beliey-
ed, that this country would go straight
to the demnition bow-wows when John
Sherman's specie resumption act went
into effect. At the same time he be-
lieved, in common with great many
OF his older fellow citizens, that the
great need of the Nation was just coolies,
so to speak, of irredeemable greenbacks.
Subsequent events shook his faith in
popular finance, and it hasn't yet been
fully restored.

ONE OR TWO CONVENTIONS.

The American, under the new man
lagement, yields the one convention
idea on the ground OF custom alone,
hut thinks the expediency of the matter
The other way, and will advocate that
The custom he changed by the Democ-
racy in convention assembled.
This puts the matter in a more accept
able light than that in which it was
presented by the proposed change
being made simply at the volition OF
Elk Boss Vertrees; but the American is
disposed to treat the question as very
trivial one which is not the case.
The reasons why supreme judges
should not be chosen by convention
called to nominate governor, adopt a
party platform and perform general
political duty, are numerous and cogent
There is no sense in the assertion OIL
the American in this connection that il
is not afraid to trust the people. The
people, that is, SO many of them as
belong to the Democratic party, would
be supposed to control two conventions
us we'll rs one, and their influence would
not predominant in one more than in
smother. 1t is, principally, to save the
people from the politicians in the i'm
portant matter OF choosing Supreme
Judges, who are to hold their offices for
eight years, that the custom OF two con
ventions should be adhered to.
II the Democratic executive commit
tee depart from the old custom, tc
which there are so many good reason;
for adhering, their action will have the
smell OF a Job and suggest political
chicane.

Explosion in a Coffin.

A Grocnyille Is. CO. special says:
Details were received here Wednesday
night of remarkable occurrence in
YorkvilIe, this State. In 1875 James
A. Watson, whose family resided in
Yorkville, lost a child, aged four years,
by death. At that time Watson was
living in Baltimore rs II teacher in tho
Bryant-Saddler Commercial College
and he could not conveniently leave his
business to attend the funeral. In his
absence only temporary burial was
given to the body, awaiting his return
home to secure permanent burial lot
in the cemetery. Tuesday he went
into the cemetery to remove his child.
The burial-case, metallic casket, was
raised from the grave and a natural de-
sire to look upon the face of the child
prompted Mr.. Watson to ask for the
removal of the lid covering the GLASS
pannel over the face. Just as the
undertaken was about to remove the
cover loud explosion occurred, shat
tering the glass which was quarter OF
an inch thick, into numberless frag-
ments, several of which struck Mr.
Watterson in the face, cutting him
severely, One piece struck the bridge
of his nose cutting entirely through it.
The casket had been out of the ground
several minutes when the explosion
occurred. The report was equal tt
that OF a dynamite cartridge, and wa
noticed by persons on Main street
more than quarter of mile distant
The face of the child was in excellen
preservation, as were also its buria
clothes, and wreath of flowers on the
breast seemed to be nearly as fresh a
when buried ten and half years ago.

CHRONICLE concerning the |. A. & I.
railroad came from a leading business
man OF this city, one who is very mate
rally interested in Clarksville's pros
perity. II was a very sensible article,
and put the matter in its true light,
While we may be disposed at times to
joke about ''the little stem winder, and
speak lightly OF the trouble TINT has be-
fallen it, the mishaps of the road are the
misfortunes OF the city, and active ex-
ertion should be made to relieve its en-
barrassment and secure its completion,
Tradesman" pointed out the great adj
yantages that have already accrued and
the irrepamble injury that the town
will sustain il it is suffered to go
down. Now is the time to act The
people OF Carksville at one time set out
TO build this road the whole way to
Princeton. Will they suffer it tc
fail now that it has been completed
nearly two-thirds of the way? The
vantage ground gained must be held
and renewed effort will certainly bring
about the desired contamination.
The CHRONICLE has no plan to offer
but will support any that looks to the
speedy completion of the road, under
such control as will work to the advant
age of GAINESVILLE.

To the CHRONICLE:

To the CHRONICLE:
The new and successful enterprise OF
the new GAINESVILLE (THE EVENING
CHRoNICLE) raises its strong voice in
indisputable argument in iayor Of push
ing through our narrow gauge railroad
project.
The benefits to be derived from this
road were anticipated by business men
who have come and settled here; and
others, former residents of the city,
prompted by the advantages to accrue
to the place, have doubled their facilities
to meet the trade which the new enter
prise would bring within their reach
Men, good business men, have settled
among us, bringing their capital and
young energy to avail themselves of the
advantages GAINESVILLE would soon offer.
Real estate has enhanced in value almost
two-fold; every house is occupied, and
applications are made nearly every day
for residences and business houses which
cannot be supplied. And all this i'm
provement comes simply in anticipation
of the new facilities for bringing the
trade to the town. How much greater
the improvement must be when the road
is actually completed
The street railway is built upon this
boom, the EVENING CHRONICLE, the
pride of the city, would not have been
born withoutit. Thenew corners would
have gone to-Palmyra, perhaps, with
their energy and capital, rather than
come to dead town.
Our trade of $4,000 hogsheads OF to-
bacco is based upon this, for the ware
housemen would not have doubled their
energies and enlarged their facilities
under the old regime. 1t is plain all
this was planned, and is based upon the
success of the l., A. & I. Railroad.
Only few years ago cry and general
moaning was heard from every pater-

THE continued twaddle of the Dem

TIE continued twaddle of the Demo
crat about the CHRONICLES being "a
railroad organ" is malicious and I'M
called for This paper opposes "A rail
road commission as a political project,
believing it would be against the inter
est of the State. All wrong-doing by
railroads we want to see punished to
the full extent OF the law, both by in
iictments and suits for damages. 1t is
because we believe in the efficacy of
such measures that we oppose useless
and expensive commission. The

railroad except pass over limited
portion OF the l.. & N. that can be used
only by one person. This is given as

to be, made an effort to get this same

TIE English holders OF Confederate
bonds are preparing to ask the United
States Government to pay them. This
explains the movement to buy up the
bonds that has been going on for several
years. The English holders are on a
cold trail; they are either excessively
cheeky or slightly demented, perhaps
both. 1t would be just as sensible to
ask the English Government to pay the
debts incurred by the numerous Irish
rebellions that have taken place in the
past, with accrued interest.
