BEEcHER'S VIEW OFT.

Henry Ward Beecher is no more n
lover of wisdom than he is of humanity
at large. This country has seen few
broader men, few men of more manly
cast OF character, of more tender and
unerring human instinct. lie has said
many grand words, words that will live
when the eloquent lips that have spoken
then are silent forever but, few words
have ever been uttered by this Ameri
can of Americans more profoundly true
than his statement that las man rises in
the scale OF civilization he becomes more
expensive" This is the secret of all
that profound movement among the in
dustrial classes of which the southwest
ern labor troubles are only one phase.
Man rising in the scale OF civilization in
creases his wants; to minister TO this
condition, increased wages are neCes-
sary; increased wages are resisted by
those who employ labor, because the
vast number Of unemployed wOrkmen in
the labor market give them the oppor-
meeting the demand for higher wages
strikes ensue; the employer fills the
strikers places with those who stand
idly by waiting for work; the old work
men resist this attempt to fill their
places, and conflicts arise. Unless the
strikers can persuade or compel the
idlers to stand back the employer wins;
If otherwise, he fails. There are only
two remedies-pay the increased wages
demanded and make good the loss to the
employer by a corresponding rise in the
price of his product; or, turn the wheels
Of human civilization backward and by
returning man to his original barbarism
decrease the needs of his nature. These
are the only two ways that present
themselves for disposing of this ques-
ton. The craftsmanship of this repub-
lie has been challenged to provide a
remedy for the industrial disturbance
and agitation OF the present. When all
the facts are before them they will
find the truth as above outlined.
Mans wants have increased, because
his sense of comfort and his knowledge of
what money means as ministry of good
to himself and family have increased;
that is man grows more civilized. You
must destroy this want IN him, unoivil-
ize him, SO to speak, or provide for its
supply. To the solution of this problem
the State and National Legislatures are
respectfully directed, as affording them
field for the exercise of a larger
thoughtfulness than they usually ex-
hibit in their deliberations. What they
will do with it the historian OF the future
will tell. The doing Of it will be that
history.

SECRETARY MANNING's New York

duce him to retain his place at the head
Of the United States Treasury. Pres
sure is being brought to bear upon the
President to that end, and the all-potent
influence Of the Sage of Grammercy

will leave no means untried to prevent
one.

No ONE can follow the current of dis
cussiOn on the saloon question, or con-
slider the attitude of the churches
toward it, or compute the number of
total abstainers, or observe how rapidly
the army of prOhibitiOnists is growing,
says the New York Independent, with
out coming quickly to the conclusion
that our nation has become already a
formidable foe of the saloon. All the
Churches, without exception, have
raised their voice against intemperance.
The pulpit and the religious press thun-
der against it, large part of the secu-
lar press denounce it, and even poll
ticians are getting courage to attack it..
Legislators seem to be among the last
to take position against it. They yield
to the demands of the temperance SEN
timent only on cOmpulsiOn. 1t is only
as they are threatened with defeat and
political ostracism that they consent
to pass laws affecting the interests of
the saloons. The people are becoming
terribly in earnest in this matter, and
politicians and legislators who stand in
the way of local option and prohibition
will shortly be swept into political OBJ
liviOn, if they refuse to see the portents
of the coming storm. 1t is to be one of
the glOries of this nation to free itself
from the devil of the saloon, and every
citizen should feel it to be a privilege
as well as duty to help to inaugurate
this second Declaration of Indepen-
dence.

showing that the deal as originally
published had been fulfilled in almost
exact detail as was asserted would be
the case in the distribution of the Off
ces. The Sentinel afIims that the Re-
publicans had nought TO do with it,
and the DeLd,Udrean admits the trans
action and treats it as u veritable fact
as evinced by the parties to it who
have since been rewarded by offices.
The belief that this deal was made is
what gives strength and potency to the
opposition to the administration on the
part of the Saulsbury-Lore-Martin
combination who are writing with pens
dipped in gall, and working with a
spirit of desperation. The same energy
characterizes the StOckley-Gray-

The Excursion To RehobOth Last
Week.

The excursion to RehOboth on
Thursday of last week was the first
pleasure event of the season, and 50
successful in all its details as to meet
the hearty commendatiOn of the whole
company so far as we have heard
without a dissenting voice. This is re
markable! to have no one disgruntled ;
but such seems to be the fact. The
day was fortunate in its selection and
the events throughout cOnspired to
make it one Of unusual pleasure. The
breeze, which was from of the land
when the train arrived, in quarter of
an hour after whitfield around to the
east and gave the eXcursionists an
ocean breeze throughout the day. To
this was added a partially overcast sky
that shielded those who were moving
about from the rigOrs of the sun. The
most enjoyable thing next to the lunch
basket was the bathing, the only dis
appointment in this regard being the
scarcity Of bathing suits, the bathing
departments of the two hotels not be-
ing able to supply the demand. The
run down and up, 73 miles each way,
was, made in a little over two hours.
There were ten passenger coaches and
SCI persons. The excursion was run
without loss, viz: a small portion of
what had been previously raised as an
excursion fund being unused. The
amount paid the railroad authorities
was $607 10. Much credit is due the
committee of arrangements-JOhn II
Hohecker, Aubrey Vandever, Walter
0. Hoflecker and l.. NJ. Price, of the
Methodist School, and Geo w. Taylor
and F. f. Evans, of the Presbyterian
SchoOl-for the completeness of detail
for convenience and comfort, included
in the latter being l 900 pounds of ice
and plenty of ice water for everybody.
Conductor Owens, who seems to be a
favOrite with both the railroad author
tiles and excursionists in the manage
ment of such trains, says that for ex-
ceptional good conduct and promptness
to time, he never ran a better eXcur-
sion. No one regretted that they went
on the excursion, and all will doubtless
want to repeat it another season.
1t may be be proper to say that at
the subsequent session of the Sunday
school on motion of J. B. Cooper, who
voiced the sentiment of the school a
vote of thanks was unanimously ten
dered the committee who had the
management of the excursion for their
very efficient planning of the excursion
and thoroughly successful execution OF
the same.
A deservedly high compliment was
paid the excursionists by the resident
cOttagers of Rehoboth in their affirm
ing to friends that this was the incest
excursion that had ever been there.
There was nothing that smacked of
rowdyism or aught else in conduct
that goes to make excursions nuisan-
ces to hotel proprietors and guests and
to cottagers also. The committee of
arrangements went so carefully into
detail in arranging for the convenien-
ces and comforts of all as to make the
excursiOnists almost independent of
everybody. Dinner was eaten in the
Grove in picnic style, and it was a
beautiful scene to see so many seated
in groups on the grass and with keen
appetites enjoying the baskets ample
store. There is but one opinion of the
excursion that it was in every way a
success.

Bob Allen Captured.
THE NOTORIOUS NEGRO BURGLAR
TAKEN IN PHILADELPHIA.

THE NOTORIOUS NEGRO BURGLAR
TAKEN IN PHILADELPHIA.
Bob Allen, the negro burglar who
escaped from the Kent county iail at
Dover about two years ago, was recap
tured in Philadelphia early Sunday
morning. The desperate nigger made
a daring fight to evade his captor. and
made great deal of trouble and. hard
work for the officer. When Policeman
DOdsOn saw Allen at Tenth and South
streets late on Saturday night there
was a struggle, and the darkev was
seen to run down Tenth street. followed
by the officer. At Fitzwater street
Allen suddenly wheeled around and
drawing large bladed knife attempted
to cut his pursuer. A club instantly
swung through the air and Allen drop
ped into submission. His hands were
fastened with nippers, and he was then
marched to the station house. At a
hearing before Magistrate Collins he
was committed to wait requisition
from Delaware.
Allen is one of the most notorious
burglars that has ever operated in the
State. His depredations in Kent coun-
ty were very numerous, and they also
extended over the Maryland line and
along the lower edges of New Castle
county. For a considerable time he
worked his burglaries without leaving
much clue behind, but he was suspected,
and eventually arrested by Special Of
fcer Jones in Wilmington with a part
of the booty of a robbery a day or two
previous upon his person. He was
boarding a train for Philadelphia when
taken, and made a hard fight for his
liberty. At the next session of the
Kent county court. he was tried, CON
victed and sentenced to 80 lashes and
n long term of imprisonment. Since
then he has escaped four times, and
Sundays arrest makes the third time
he was recaptured in Philadelphia.
When Allen broke Jail the last time he
also delivered Henry Rasin, who was
his companion upon his burglarious ex-
peditions, and two other less notorious
prisoners. The sheriff offered a reward
of $50 for the capture Of Allen, the
same amount for Rasin, and $25 for the
two others. All the others were ar
rested within short time after the
delivery, and to secure Rasn the sheriff
has since had him in leg chains, pair
of which will also be forged for Allen.
With these he can probably be retained
to finish his sentence.
