A Sad Lesson,

The evil Of stock gambling even in a
small way Gomez to us In the lamenta-
table downfall of a promising young
man in Delaware City who had less
than q year ago been recognized by the
National Administration as one worthy
OF its confidence and was commissioned
postmaster of that town. The lesson OF
this young mans downfall should be a
salutary one to all other young men
who have strong propensity to get
rich suddenly and without much effort.
We do not suppose for moment thai
young Mullin ever had the least idea
OF defraudlng anybody. He simply
wanted to make money and to make II
fast and easy. Tens Of thousands Of
promising young men started in the
same manner, but their Unsuitable sppe.
lite for a sudden acquisition of wealth
soon led them beyond restraint and
they became but blasted wrecks, strewr
all along the pathway Of life.
Every one who enters into stock
speculations never thinks OF his weak.
ness. In his estimation he Is morally
strong and robust, equal to cope In
stock manipulations with the strongest.
He is only deceived when he finds that
be has made the wrong venture and
bankruptcy and ruin stare him in the
face. A few strong swimmers may
stem the tide and reach the head waters
OF opulency and wealth by stock specu.
lations, but they are lew indeed. The
great multitude OF those who enter this
stream Of questionable morality and
speculation keep their heads above
water, but short time, give despair
ing cry and 90 down forever.

AFTER GENERAL HANCOCK died his

in either House OF Congress, and Presi.
dent Cleveland lost no time In signing

Democrat and the nominee for the Dem

Hare is another case which sho VS. the
other side. Major-General Hunter, an
officer OF the same rank with Hancock,
died and left a widow. A bill was In.
trodnced in Congress to give her, not
5000 year, but only $50 a month
pension. The bill passed with practi-
cal unanimous vote. 1t went to the

Tax Delinquencies

County Treasurer Herbert, at thu
meeting Of the Trustees OF the Poor on
Wednesday, administered q well Inherited
rebuke to the Levy Court for the char
acter of some Of the men they elect Is
county tax collectors. After knowing
their delinquencies they deliberately
elected them for second term and the
consequence is the county is out oil
money and the generoushearted Her
bert offered his own individual check to
the Board OF Trustees to enable them to
bridge over deficiency chasu.
Ofall the delinquent collectors in the
county, however, the collector OF S.,
Georges hundred takes the cake; we
might rather say collectors, for ST.
Georges hundred has for many years
been behind in paying her taxes. While
the whole Of New Castle county still
owes the county treasurer about $40, 900
of 1885 taxes, st. Georges hundred
alone owes the half Of 1t. 1t is not sur
prising that the tax payers OF other
hundreds complain Of the Partially
sho wn to st. Georges, and refuse to pay
their taxes promptly. st. Georges has
no better right to withhold her tax o
full year or more than any other hun
dred has.
1t Is true that 81. Georges Is very ma
turally . pet hundred with the Demo-
Gratis, but when 1t becomes pet at the
cost Of $40, 900 tax delinquency she be-
comes q pet that Is q little too expen-
sive. We do not say that she Is q de-
faulter to the amount Of SIC, 900, for no
doubt she will pay some time, but the
more grace L. sho wn her the more in.
definite becomes the time Of her pay
ments.
Naturally We might have expected
that after the Democrats, by the aid Of
Mr.. Bayard's very complete assessment
laws, had disfrAnchised three hundred
Republicans to make St. Georges &
Democratic hundred, some effort would
have been made to be prompt In tn,
payment Of the balance Of the taxes, bu
In this case one Injustice seems only tt
have led to another.
The Democrats Of St. Georges have
been looking more after votes than
taxes. II the hundred, which at any
time on o full assessment and in al
honest election would give $50 Repub
lican majority, can only be made Il
give that much or more Democratic
majority, that is all the st. Georges Dem
ocrats seem particularly to care about
and the Democratic Levy Court In
every way possible encourages by in
action the cheating of Republicans Out
Of their votes and the county out Of
taxes for the sake Of making St. Georges
Democratic hundred.
1t can hardly be expected that the
people who see this wholesale double
cheating going on by the Levy Cour
and the collectors 1t app oints, will hav'
. very high regard for the honesty o
either, and In turn will become yer.
dllitory about paying their taxes. On
dishonest act begets another and tn
crime Of disfranchising the Republic
OF st. Georges and other hundreds ha
brought on the delinquency in tax pay
ments in that hundred. Political dis
honesty does not pay at any time

The Weaver Brothers. Accused OF Killin:
Abel Shearer. RiddIcd with Bullets.
ANTHONY, Kan, April 2O.-About two
months ago a fight occurred in the village OF
DanviIle, near this place, between three
brothers nahIed Weaver and Abel Shearer
Shearer was fatally wounded and the We:-
yer boys arrested and hurried away to avoid
mob violence. Last week they were re.
turned for trial, but their cases were ccntin-
ued for q term, with bail fixed at $4,000
each. At one o'clock yesterday morning
a mob OF forty or more armed men sur
rounded the residence of the sheriff, where
the prisoners were under guard. The guard
hearing them rushed the prisoners out back
door into the basement of the new school
building. The sheriff was taken prisoner
by the mob and guarded The deputies
finding it useless to resist surrendered. The
Weaver brothers defended themselves IN
the struggle for life with a revolver they
had taken from one of the deputies, but
were finally overpowerea by the mob and
disarmed. Ropes were placed about their
necks and preparations made to hang them
to the rafters but the tramp Of approaching
feet heightened the moi and they fired Is,
S and 20 shots into each man, literally
shooting them to pieces, and mounting
their horses rode rapidly away. No one
knows who they were. The mother of The
boys and the wife of one OF them witnessed
the entire tragedy.

q TIMELY APPEAL.
II the Women of the Land Heed 1t, BIRD
Destruction VIII Cease.

Destruction VIII Cease.
An appeal to the Women in Behalf
of the Birds has been issued. 1t SAYS:
$50 long az the demand continues, the
supply will come. Law of itself can be
of little avail Offenders will find it
worth while to dare the law. One
ti.ing only will stop the cruelty-the
disapprobation of fashion. 1t is known
that even now birds are not worn by
some on grounds of humanity. Concert
of action is needed. The sentiment of
humanity once aroused, the birds are
safe. Word comes from London that
women are taking up the work. Can
we do less?" In England, among those
active in their protests are Tennyson,
Browning and Princess Christian. 1t
is to be hoped the press will every
where take up the voice of protesting
humanity in the name of agriculture,
as well as for the sake of putting an
end to a cruel fashion.
Not the least of the arguments in
favor of bird protection is the general
damage to national character arising
from disregard for life. The Buddhist
reverence for all life may wisely be
studied by us. The boy who kills for
pleasure is not the better type of man
1t is impossible to be cruel or even I'M
mindful of suffering in one direction,
and not be hard-hearted in all direc-
tons. SeltishnesS can not be shut up
in one corner of the character. In
these days there are so many methods
of sport that there is no excuse for
finding fun or pleasure in hunting the
pretty game of our small woods.
On the other hand, enlist the boys in
scientific appreciation of nature and
her methods of contributing to all ra-
tiOnal Joy. Does not science, however,
also destroy the birds? Science, that is
worth the name, does nothing ruthless
ly. There are a few thousand birds
used annually in making pathological
collections for just study; but there are
not less than five millions used for fash
iOn.-COr. " Y. IRdcpendent.
