show to the country that it is a better

not appear, however, to have occurred

The slowness of Mr.. Cleveland

Administration in making changes in
the offices, which has provoked, and
which continues to provoke, criticism
among Democrats who have not ar
rived at full sympathy with the spirit
OF the new order of things, is yet more
noteworthy because of the fact, every
where recognized, that under his pred
ecessors the post-office has been re-
garded as the nucleus of the local party
organization, and that the service has,
from time immemorial, been filled with
party workers whose first duty has bean

Mr. Matthew'S the colored De

Mr.. Matthews. the colored Dem
ocrat whose nomination for Fred
Douglass place was rejected by the
Senate, says he was told that he would
be confirmed if he would promise not
to remove any of the present attaches
of the Office, but that refusing to COM
nit himself on this point the Repub-
lican Senators voted unanimously
against him. 1t would be interesting
if Mr.. Matthews would give the names
of the persons who gave these assur-
ances to him. We can hardly think a
dignified United States Senator would
descend to such petty dickering, but
even Senators have been known to do
some exceedingly petty things in pol
itics.-Chicago NeWS.

Mr.. WM. NJ. STEWART, of San Fran
cisco, has issued pamphlet upon the
silver question which deserves public
attention. From the gist of Mr.. Stewart S
argument which we have been able to
gain from causary glance through the
pamphlet it is evident to US that he is
not crank as many would believe.
He handles the question without gloves
and if his sensible words were to have
their desired effect the coinage Of silver
would be continued ultimately and the
laws of the government as regards mon
atery subjects better lived up to than
they are to-day MIR. Stewards voice
comes from the wild and untamed
West but when it expounds the doctrine
it does it becomes fully capable Of
teaching little civilization to the gov

The Cecil County Neaes calls upon
the Legislature of Maryland, which met

less than one gallon, in no instance to

largely increasing the penalties for vic.

deeply 'sin the tolls" with no hope this

and he should be dealt with according
to the most stringent edicts of the law.
A professed "Man of God" he has pro-
famed sanctifed calling, and by his
repeated criminalities shown himself
incapable OF self-reformatlon. To those
who deserve it the forgiveness of hui

imposed upon and he should be given
his dues. He is an unfortunate man.

THE PROPHET WITHOUT
HONOR.

Some may pray for the spread of the
gospel, some for elevation of the in
tellect, some for reformation in morals,
some for better physical training, but
in our opinion the great payer, the
longest prayer and the loudest prayer
should go up for more charity between
man and man. There is one class of
humanity in the American nation that
needs great deal of charity; it is that
struggling, earnest class of young men
who inhabit our villages and who are
endeavoring against the greatest odds
of adversely ever realized to win their
ways in the world. Make their mark,
as it were. They are sensitive, though
not morbid set. They yearn for the
tender charity of encouragement. In
stead of their warnings being answered
they are generally down-trodden, un-
recognized class, veritable prophets
without honor save in their own land.
Instead of receiving charity from their
fellow townsmen they are rendered

We echoe the criticism of the VIII
mington Republican upon the address
of Prof. T. L. Graham at the opening
of the High School on Monday evening
last. The above paper says: Prof
Graham delivered speech replete with
originality and research, showing the
great work that high schools will have
to do in counteracting and checking
the errors of society and the evil ten
denotes of the times. The address
shows that Professor Graham has a well
stored mind, is as we'll versed in an
cient as in modern literature, has the
cause of education at heart, compre-
hendS the work it has to accomplish,
and the work that is expected of the
new high school Of Wilmington. The
cause of education in our city is fortu-
nate in having such an able and elo-
quent defender and practical worker.
The loud applause that followed the
delivery of his eloquent address shows
high appreciation of his ability" The
Ese,y Evenmg considered the ad-
dress in the whole IN equally as favora-
bic light as the above, but IN consid-
ering abstract points found several faults
to condemn. A little too much meta
physics and sectarianism prevaded it,
it thought, but really we do not see
wherein these qualities were too pre-
dominant. Portions of the address may
be hard for some mids to grasp, but
that circumstance should only add
another laurel to the wreath Mr.. Gra-
ham now wears for his superior intel.
