A PROPER REFUSAL.

Tuesday last when the Legislative Appro
priation bill was before the House the SEN
ate amendment "For clerks to Senators who
are not chairmen sof committee, $?3, ,232'
was not concurred in.
Among other cogent reasons for refusal
of concurrence to the Senate's request was
the following made by Congressman Price
of Wisconsin
These amendments of the Senate are
based upon the supposition that every Sena-
tor is entitled to clerk, Senators have the
right to ask such an allowance, and we the
right to refuse or assent. | venture the
statement, which think will be oorrobora-
ted by every gentleman on this floor, that
each member here on the average does as
much work as any member of the Senate.
When Senators and Representatives were
elected we understood that our compensa-
tion was $5, 900 year, with mileage, and
$125 for stationery. We took the contract
with the implied understanding that this
was to be the compensation. We have the
constitutional power to increase that compen-
sation, At the same time we know that it is,
to say the least, doubtful policy to vote such
an increase and if we refer to the history
of the past we find that the result has been
very disastrous to those who hitherto have
taken advantage of the constitutional right
of the legislative branch of the Government
to increase their own compensation.

Beecher in England.

The greatest American pulpit orator, Hen
ry Ward Beecher, has such large audiences
in London that the crowds who throng to
hear him cannot find sitting room and hum
dreds and thousands are turned away in dis
appointment.
Mr.. Beecher is undoubtedly our greatest
living orator. America has long past accord
ed that pre-. eminence to him. His admirers
in this country were at first little anxious
as to the great Plymouth preachers success
when using for his subject, so repeatedly,
the problematical topic of love-
But it seems that the worlds great gem
fuses are not limited by any code or exaction
or precedent They do as they please and
are therefore successful.
Mr.. Beecher clamors strongly for healthy
joyousness in Christianity There is no
Pecksniffianism in the Plymouth preacher.
The green fields, the ripping waters, the
radiant laugh, bright eyes, smiles and happi-
ness. MIR. Beacher thinks were intended for
the true Christian equally with all other
dwellers upon the earth.
This seems to be the chief burthen of his
addresses to London audiences The people
Of the metropolis did not at first seem to un.
derstand such ''carryings on in the pulpit
But the logic of the speakers argument ac
cording to latter accounts, is impressng
metropolitan christians.
This is all for the best for there is in thu
English Episcopal church an immensity o.
unconscious habiliment of sanctimoniousnes

which sanctmoniousnes has at length com,
to be part of the individual ceremonial t,

An Amusing Error.

A local contemporary referring, two or
three days ago to 'the polo match, which has
been arranged to take place between the
Hurlingham club of London and the West
chester club, will be played at Newport, RI,
in about three weeks. The Englishmen will
leave London at date that will enable them
to practice here for few days. They bring
their own ponies of the ex-Moor breed"
makes the curious error Of substituting ex-
Moor (stc) for Exmoor.
The latter, the proper term, is the name of
an extensive moor or wilderness in the south
Of England covered with gorse and marshes
which for centuries has been untitled. The
soil is of such an unproductive nature that
nothing but a scanty coarse herbage grows
upon it. It is almost entirely uninhabited.
1t is famous however for its breed of pom les
which have run wild there since the earliest
records. These ponies known as the Exmoor
breed, small stunted animal something
resembling the Shetland pony finds safe
harborage in the almost inaccessible morasses
of the locality.
Exmoor derives its name from the fact
that the river Ea flows through it.
Its etymology has nothing to do with the
Moor or Arab or Barb breed of horses as the
peculiar spelling (sx-Moor) ingenious as il
appears, might be supposed to suggest OIL
infer.
There is great distinction between thu
shaggy, stunted little Exmoor rony and th,
aristocratic Moor breed.
Incidentally it may be added that Exmoo
is the locality where that remarkable stat
prison is located in regard to which so mucl
has been lately written and said. Some Q

A Dead Letter Ordinance.

Is it anybody's business to see that the or
dnance concerning danger signals is enforc.
ed ? Street after street is 50 full Of impedi-
ments that vehicular travel after ni2htfall is
absolutely dangerous to life.
The dangerous conditions of the streets at
night gives ample notice to the City Council
that somebody's negligence to official duties
is breeding lawsuit for damages against
this city.
The ordinance explicitly states that all pit
falls or distractions in the streets must be
indicated, between the hours of sunset and
sunrise, by ''red signal" The pertinent
query is, whose duty is it to see that the
provisions of said ordinance are complied

Matters Political.

On every hand the Interrogation is heard
what of the delegates to Dover? AS was pre-
dicted the Biggs- Herbert alliance has so SER
iousiy handicapped Mr.. Bggs, that at this
writing, it looks as though he will not carry
two wards all told. The admixture which
was dished up in Mr. McWhorter's establish
ment is distasteful and discouraging to
many Of those who were ardent admirers of
Mr.. Biggs and who were his honest suppor-
ters. Bargainings ad nauseam usque have
stifled the the political atmosphere of Will
mington. Many were looking to MIR.
Biggs as the antithess of bargaining and
sale compacts, yet at the very onset of the
Gubernatorial canvass the friends of Benja-
min T. Biggs have committed him to an al
lance which imperils his hopes of success.
To aspire to the Governorship of Delaware
is most laudable ambition on the part of
Mr.. Biggs or Mr.. Herbert but for these
men to pool issues for the same office simply
reduces the chances of either to the mini
mum. We predicate the opiuion founded on
present indications that before the nomina-
tion of delegates to the State Convention
that Biggs and Herbert will antagonize each
others interests more bitterly and more ve-
hemently than either will Mr. Cochran IS
candidacy.
Already we hear the rumor of double deal
ing in the Biggs- Herbert combination. In
one ward the Herbert forces are little too
aggressive for the peace of mind of the Biggs
| followers-n another ward the Biggs ele-
ment is charged with raiding the Herbert
fold, and as the time of the convention
draws nigh, this condition of affairs will be-
come so marked that Biggs will have pretty
etfeotually killed off Herbert and Herbert
will have so MANNED Biggs that Cochran
will have an easy victory.
Whatever may be the faults of the admin
istration party, timidity is not one of them
They have nailed their colors to the mast
head aud they have inscribed upon their ban
ner the name of Edward Il. Cochran for Gov
ernor. Sinking or swimming, surviving o
pershing, they purpose standing by thei
colors. This open, positive policy on tn
part Of the administration is in happy con
trast to the covert action of the opposition
and it is so crystalzing sentiment in favo
of Mr.. Cochran that his nomination, as ia
as New Castle County is concerned, is virtu
ally assured.

A Needed local Ordinance.

In regard to arrangements for the comfort
of the citizens whose care is in his charge
Superintendent Murray of New York has de.
creed "that the picturesque organ grinder"
so says the New York Herald shall not turn
his doleful crank before nine in the morning
nor after nine in the evening" -..
That metropolitan police officer shows
himself, in issuing that decree, man well
fitted for his position simply because he ap-
preciates the needs of the citizens and de-
monstiates proper solcitude for their COM
fort.
But what about the ubiquitous, jangling,
banging piano The modest instrument of
the Italian street musician is not a "crcum-
stance" compared with it. How many thou
sands of our citizens are unconsciously led
aud entrapped into the immortality of chron-
ic blasphemy by the selfish habit of those
who indulge(D themselves in piano practice
far into the "wee anna hours" of night. So
little of consideration for their weary fellow.

nothing less than police ordinance is sufii

In Berlin, the German capital, city 0
over million inhabitants such municipal
ordinance exists. After certain hour il

What glorious city to live in-or W

this time to the improperly of nude bathing

in mid. channel of the Chrstiana. Our
