What TIE English Vote Means.

The Tories have now elected 30S candi
dates ; the Unionists 70, the Gadstonians 70;
the Parnelites 70.
Taking the above vote in its general ap-
plication, outside Of its individual reference
to any particular adhesion or bearings upon
Mr.. Parnell or ex-Premier Gladstone, Ito
the Marquis of Salisbury or Lord Harting-
ton the observer of English political affairs
will see naught else but this, viz: that any
proposition tending in the direction of
a measure such as may have any possible re-
suit in the disintegration of the Empire,
even though brought forward by the most
popular of ministers will be unhesitatingly
opposed by the masses of the English peo-
pie.
This vote is most significant and force
full expression of what the voters of England
believe in. -...
1t is terrible lesson to Mr.. Gladstone.
Indeed it is difficult to comprehend by
what egregious misconceptions that great
man could have persuaded himself of any
possible success in bringing forward meas
ure which included such strange planks as
the Gladstonan Home Rule bill contained.
Mr.. Gladstone has learned that out of 900
Members of Parliament he can rely upon
but bare 70 upon that measured
| What fall from $40
The English people have taken the cue
from the United States whose proper and
logical cry during the great War of the Re-
belIion was that ''the Union must be main
| tanned"
The British will have that and naught
else.
1t seems that the English voter prefers
standing alongside an unpopular minister
such as the Marquis of Salisbury and giving
him their support by heavy majority rath
er than continue under the leadership OF
their favorite Mr. Gladstone when he asks
them to consent to looscning of the bands
that bind the Empire indissolubly into one
The question arises how did Mr.. Glad
stone make such an overwhelmingly bad mis-.
take" There is no answer but the surmist
that the old premier is becoming senie
The brightest and smartest men among
his party which represents modern England
and modern ideas differed with Mr.. Glad
stone upon some of the more important
planks in his measure for the relief of Ire
land. Mr.. Goschen, Mr.. Chamberlain, Lor'
Harrington and Mr.. Trevelyan are each a
bigh-minded and honest men as William
Ewart Gladstone himself. So is John Brigh
who also opposed the Premier
What then can posterity say when it sit
, in Judgment upon this question which ha
succeeded in a temporary fracture of til
Liberal party, rending it in twain from to-
to bottom and casting its chief Mr.. Gladston
out of office.
The English vote was not for the Marqui
of Salisbury although it was against Nj
Gladstone. ...-
Opposing one does not necessarily mea
an endorsement of the other,

German Suspicion.

The new French regulations for an in
crease in the army and its reorganization
looking towards military mobilization nat
urally enough causes suspicion among Ger
man army circles, 49,
A prominent German army official has
stated that this movement is a definite blow
at Germany. The French Government has
determined upon strengthening its corps
stationed along the German frontier.
1t is difficult to perceive how the German
Government can take umbrage in this ac-
ton of their neighbors for the frontier towns
of Cologne and Strasbourg are bristling
with bayonets and the German ''pckel-
haube" is seen in every village and hamlet of
Alsace and Lorraine.
| There is no doubt that the Teuton aud the
Latin are getting themselves ready for
near re- trial of the momentous question tes-
ted over dozen years ago at Saarbruck,
Gravelotte, Sedan and PARIS.
Who knows but that the strange pic
lures seen in the illustrated papers of those
years will be repeated but instead of the
long serpentine lengths of railway trains la

their way westward as ladeu with German
siege material for battering down the walls
Of Paris will trend eastward on this occasion

Not very Flattering,

1t is not very fattering to Wilmington, its
citizens and business men that such a letter
as that written by Messrs. Robert Wetherill
& Company to the Board of Water Commits
sioners should be penned.
1t is not respectable. 1t is not business
like.
The good name Of the city for ordinary
mercantile solyency is placed in question.
What is the Finance Committee of City
Council doing that such aIax ent negligence
should become common stfees talk
Why should such remarkable phraseology
as 'ifnot trespassing too much upon the kind
ness of City Council, we would like to have
some idea how we can truthfully answer
found in the Water Comm issioner's letter to
City Council appear?
What has kindness" or truslfulness" to
do with simple business trgiisaction !! The

why are not these men paida
As it appears now the Finance Committee
of City Council is permitting the good name

Why is the municipal business in regard
to its monetary affairs permitted to get into

1t is all very well making public state.
ments and sending in reports which read all
right and appear properly balanced-but,
when our city creditors have to ask and ask
again for their money which is long past
due, and are continually put off payment
there is certainly something wrong. And
the people must know why.
Whoever is responsible for this negli-
gence deserves round rebuke for manag-
ing the city's affairs in this way.
1t is immateIial to us whether these
officials are democrats or democratic bosses
an independent and just criticism of such
carrying on calls for the sharpest denuncia-
tion by the citizens.
The city's outside credit at least must not
be trifled with, even at the sacrifice of the
interests of an all-powerful ring.
But what is still more interesting to the
public in regard to this matter,.is the ques-
tion how it is that such a peculiar status
of mutual communion exists between these

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

There is an undercurrent of feeling among
the Republicans of this state that it would
be a fatal mistake to their organization not
to put State ticket in the field during the
Gubernatorial and Congressional Campaign.
They argue, with good dea! of force That
the Democracy kept up a bold front Tor
quarter of century in national campaigns
before victory perched upon its banner.
Unless the Republican party purposes dis
banding, they owe it to themselves to go into
the campaign and make frank and resolnte
declaration of their honest convictions upon
every exigent public question, including the
temperance question; to place the best posi-
BILE ticket on such platform, and to enter
upon the canvass in the most earnest and
aggressive spirit.
The Republican party must preserve its
identity or its disintegration is assured and
sour fears make towards of us all" will be
written upon the tomb of Republcanism of
Delaware.
The Republican party has been an ag-
gressve party and its impress has been too
strongly stamped upon the political history
of this country to now die of inaniton. That
the assessment laws of this state have opera
ted against Republican domination there is
no question, but it is equally true that the
dissensions which are distracting the demo-
cracy are happily absent among republicans.
The cloud, which now overhangs the repub-
lican party has silver lining vonchsafod un-
to it, in the factional fight which are now
threatening the life of the opposition.
The republicans of Delaware have an op'
portunity of making themselves power.
Will they be wise unto their day and oppor-
tuntiesP They should frankly and unhes
tatingly declare their best judgment on the
temperance, as on other, questions.
They should stand forrestrictive measures
for temperance reform, and for the right o
the people to pass upon prohibition.
Upon such platform Joseph Pyle, as thu
Gubernatorial candidate would enthuse th
people as no other name in the State Of Della
ware could possibly do.
Joseph Pyle has all of the elements Of
popular candidate and his political oppon.
ents admit his strength and fear his candi
dacy.
Joseph Pyle as a Gubernatorial candidat
would be strong with law abiding citizens
would be strong 18th the temperance peo
ple--would be strong with the laboring inter
est-would be strong with the business ele
ment-would be strong with those who ad
mre benevolent spirit-would be stron
with those who have the gift to appreciate
noble and exalted manhood.

The British Bird.

In regard to the alleged Britisher, the
sparrow, and the expectation that as the
species Increased and multiplied" they
would protect our shade trees from the pest
of insects, it may be asserted as an argu-
ment in extenudtion of the pertinacious lit
tie feathered biped's laxness in the duties
expected of him that through the mistaken
and iriudicious kindness of the birds
friends he has become latterly somewhat OBJ
lvious to fulfill his part towards freeing our
shade trees from insect pests.
We ask the single question Of auy human
beng-Would you not prefer for your din
ner rich and luscious beefsteak to a piece
of scraggy and tough mutton? Or nice
fresh Delaware shad to salt New England
goldfish
SO it is with the sparrow who is an animal
of remarkable gastrononic discrimination.
We daily see our neighbors throwing out
crumbs of bread and other rich morsels,
considered SO from the snlr..,puunu
!: !: !: !: !. !. : : !
Are we to express opr~e
the sparrow in v
reasons it is all wrong
mer when nature yields Dodas~-ia -ia,'i
seasonsble bird store pleuteYns insect lie.
Do not give the sparrow bread crumbs -
any other kind of food in the Summer--boy-
colt him, good-natured as you may be dur
ing this season, and if you wish feed and i'll
dulge him little in the Winter. It will be
all for his good and yours.
You cannot blame the sparrow for not
gobbling up the ugly-looking worm when
you pamper him with bread.
