1t was not polite for the Indianap-

devoted to the children In the morning
the Rev. I. X. Creamer, preached from the
18th, chapter of Judges, and part ofthe Sth.
verse; And, behold there was swarm of
bees and honey in the carcass of the lion. -
The regular childrens' exercises was held
at ?. so O'Clock, and was interesting and ell
tertaining. The local and instrumental
music was particularly creditable and the
selections fine n few of the Milton choir in
point of rendition would put to shame many
professionals The subject of the evenings
discourse was, Education. Judging from
the appearance of the congregation our citi-
zens are not interested in that subject. The
collections were quite satisfactory, amount

In speaking of useless expenditure
of public money the Farm and Home
says: "And poor little Delaware gives
her militia Sll 600 that the boys may
have a good time" The Farm and
Home evidently has never studied that
protective policy which dIspenses
with the heavy tax upon a people pro-
tected by a standing army by the sup
port of well equipped militia service,
nor does he admit the very patent fact
that the annual encampment is a
most excellent school for this citizen
sOldiery. The advantage of militia
over standing army in point of use
fulness, when the expense of main
tenance is considered, is well establish
ed, aside from the fact that these thou
sands of men are good, useful citizens
and prOdueers-which cannot be said
of regular troops who are as a class
most useless when discharged from
service, retaining many habits and
immoral tendencies incident to army
life. The idea that agricultural pur-
suits should receive more encourage
ment, which is the leading one with
the Farm and Home, is a very good one,
but it is a very questionable doctrine
to advocate retrenchment in the en-
couragement of our militia, that even
% worthy cause as agriculture may
receive more aid.

The Balance of Power.
Washington Post.)


The PrOhibitiOnists, who hold tn G
balance Of power In a Presidential elee-
tion, closed their National Convention
at indianapolis on Thursday last. .hav-
ing selected Clinton B. Fisk, of New
Jersey, and John A. Brooks, of Mis-
souri,, as their candidates for president
and vice-president. No other National
Convention Of this year is likely to be
characterized by so much of enthusI-
asm, sincerity and zeal-sO much Of
cOnscientiousness and so little of sell
fishness-as was this gathering Ofearn-
est men and more earnest women at
the Hoosier capital. With the general
object of these reformeTs-tO wit, the
promotion Of temperance - there is
almost universal sympathy; for the
methods by which they aim to secure
that object there is very little respect
outside Of their own organization. But
that organization is growing. The
number of men who believe IN outlaw
ing the liquor traffic is increasing
every day. He who fails to note this
growth reads the signs of the times to
little purpose, One Ofthe chief factors
IN the strengthening of the Prohibit
tion movement has been the attempt
Of the saloon interest to dictate to po-
liticaI parties in various States and in
The management of municipal affairs.
In one city it IS the Republicans, in
another the Democratic party that is
brought in contact with this dietatorial
spirit. In all cases 1t is offensive to

THAT our postal service is incOmpe-
tent is becoming daily more apparent.
Advices from the state that the de-
livery of newspapers is not even at
tempted butin many places the mass of
mail is dumped in a pile and persons in
quIring for papers are directed to look
for themselves. The delivery of letters
is very irregular aud unsatisfactory.
This condition Of affairs exists largely
even in eastern states aud is the direct
OutgrOwth of the numerous changes
which a new administration has
wrought and in which political favor
itism rather than integrity or ability
has been the chief factor in appoint
ment The promiscuous discharge Of
experienced and capable men is
always dangerous In the fact that il
places in the service men without ex-
perience, who despite all good inten-
tiOns connOt perform their duties with
dispatch and correctness for which
the public pay and which they may
in justice demand.

Bishop Lees Successor.

The Protestant Episcopal convention ofthe
diocese Of Delaware opened its business ses-
sion on Wednesday, June 9th, and after cleo
ting the Rev. /. W. Gibson Of Dover, presi-
dent, and George II. Bates, Esq, and 5. NJ.
Curtis secretaries, the committee on creden-
tials was appointed, and the convention passed
a resolution making the election of bishop
the special order for 80 p. m, and then a
recess was taken until 8 O'Clock.
committee appointed 10 examine the
condition Of the endowment fund made a
report immediately afler the recess. This
showed that the original fund had been in
creased by $685. 900 through the efforts Of the
Rev. P. B. Lightner during the year, making
it now 500, 900. An effort will be made to
resolution awarding the Rev. Mr.. Lightner
500 for his services in this direction was
adopted
The special order, the election Of a bishop
was then taken up, and the Rev. Mr.. Owen,
of Claymont, presented the name Of the Rev
W. +. Nichols, Of ST. James Church, Phila-
delphia, and the Rev. w. L. McKim, of
Georgetown, presented the name ofthe Rey
DR.. Leighton Coleman, Of Sayre, Pa.
Twenty-three ballots were had without
conclusive nomination being made. But on
the next, the 24th ballot Of the day, DR.. Cole.
man was nominated by vote Of II to for
MI Nichols. II was now @ 80 p. m. and the
laity evidently wanted to get through, as they
confirmed the nomination by a vote of SO to
II.
On motion of George H. Bates, Esq, tie
election was then made unanimous, and
committee appointed to telegraph Dr. Cole
man Of his election, and ask his acceptance.
The convention then sang the Gloria in Ex-
celsis, and adjourned until 9 O'Clock Thurs
day morning.
The newly-elected bishop is a native of
Philadelphia and was for some years rector
Of St, Johns Parish, Wilmington He mar
ried daughter Of Alexis DUPONT, of Will
mington, and about ten years ago went to
England, locating at Oxford After his re-
turn to this country about year ago he be-
came rector Of the church at Sayre, Pa,
where he is now located. He is about fifty
years Of age, and is said to be in every way
a worthy successor of the late Bishop Lee
There is a strong feeling of qualification
throughout the district over the election of
Dr. Leighton Coleman as Bishop of Della
ware. This feeling exists not alone among
Episcopalians, but with citizens of every de-
nomination. Tile new bishop is intimately
known by numbers of people in this State.
He is spoken of with tile highest encomiums,
not alone as a clergyman or for his oratorical
powers, but as a warm-hearted gentleman of
the highest refinement and culture and above
all for his broad geniality with all classes of
people.

THE criminal negligence which re-
suited in the terrible death of Miss
Boggs at Clayton last week, should
call the attention of our law makers to
some definite method for the protec-
tiOn of the public against such calami-
ties and thar body should devise some
more potent method of compelling
corporations to protect the public at
such dangerous exposures as the cross
ing on which that fatal accident ocur-
red. These corporations are managed
solely from money making stand
points and the risks of damage suits
resulting from injury are in the aggre-
CRATE less expensive than the cost of
maintainsng flagmen at all exposed
points. Thus the public is left unpro-
tected for the benefit of corporations
exchequers. AS the interests Of such
corporations are purely monetary we
cannot expect protection to be given
by them voluntarily. 1t is the object
of legislation to protect the masses and
until this is done their duty to their
constituents is not completed.
