ness is among the best paying corcerns
there are The proprietoro OF sucn basi-
ness might be reasonably expected TO do
all in his power to secure the continua-
tion of the same and especially TO obey
the law, as that is the first requirement
for reissuing a license. The dealer in
Intoxicating liquors must do this, even If
he only does il in his own interest. By
far the largest number of this class Of
business men know this and adhere
strictly to the law but other saloon keep
ers are evidently of the opinion that they
may transgress the law without being
called to account. These men cannot
expect our judges TO grant them licenses
They would ignore their duty if
they. knowing an applicant to have dis
obeyed the law. would allow him to con-
tinne the business. The faithfulness 20
duty and the conscientious Of our Judges
are too well known TO make it necessary
for us TO discuss the improbability Of
their not granting a license to an appli-
cant, unless they have good reason for
this course, 1t is our opinion that in al
most all the cases. where the applicant
for a license for the sHle of Intoxicating
liquor has been turned down, may as
cribe the action Of the court TO himself
and TO nobody else
Tho foregoing remarks are not in
tended TO convey the idea, that we look
upon the requirements of the law as be-
ing consistent with equity or even with
common sense. So for instance is, III our
opinion. the law which prevents the
saloon keeper from selling liquor to be
taken from the premises, certainly an un-
Just one. 1t discriminatcs against per
sons of small means. The rich man may
buy lis beer by tho box. in bottles, while
the workingmau, who perhaps has no
place to store or rather keep it from
spelling, cannot get pint Of beer TO
drink with his meal We hope the next
Legislature win amend or exchange the
law in that respect But at present the
law still requires that all liquor bought
Of a retail dealer must be drunk on the
premises and the law should be complied

And So Is Emin Bey-The Most Reliable
Information Yet Received-In Excellent
Health and Well Supplied.
LONDON, Dec 22.-The West African Tee
graph company has received the following
dispatch from St Thomas, dated Friday,
2p m:
Il have just received information that
Henry M. Stanley, with Emin Pasha, has ar
rived on the Aruwimi. The news is reliable
Further details will follow.
PARSONS, Agent"
In the house of commons Mr.. Goschen, the
acting government leader, read, amid cheers,
the telegram received by the West African
Telegraph company from st. Thomas, re-
porting the arrival of Stanley and Emin on
the Aruwimi. Mr.. Goschen stated that the
government had not received any direct
official news confirming this report.
Zanzibar dispatch says: Letters dated
Stanley Falls, Aug 80 have been delivered
here by Tippoo Tbs men. They stated that
a letter had been received at Stanley Falls
from Henry NJ, Stanley on Aug. %. Stanley
was then at Bonvala or Yambuga, on the
Aruwimi where he had arrived on Aug. II.
He had left Emin Pasha eighty-two days be-
fore in perfect health and provided with
plenty Of food. Stanley had returned to
Bonyala for the leads of stores In charge of
his rear guard, ard intended to leave ten
days later to rejoin Emin He reported all
the whites in the expedition as healthy, and
said the expedition wanted nothing
In the Stanley Falls advices it is stated that
Stanley wrote that Emin was in possession Of
vast stores Of ivory and many oxen, and that
he had an abundance of food. Stanley in
tended to leave Bonvala at the end Of Au-
gust.
A dispatch to The Times from Zanzibar
says
"Iippoo Tbs messengers came by way of
Uguhn, Ujiji and Unienyembe, with letters
from Stanley dated to Aug. p. They CON
firm the other accounts that Stanley left
Emin with Casati, and that both were per-
fectly well The messengers will return

Another Mystery in London.
LONDON, Dec 22.-The dead body Of an
unknown woman has been found in the Pop.
lar district, with an empty phial lying be-
side it. 1t was at first supposed that the
woman had committed suicide by poison,
but evidence was produced at an autopsy
showing that the stomach Of the woman CON
tanned no poison whatever A small cord
was found tied around the woman's throat,
which, it is believed, produced strangula-
tion. The unfortunate woman is supposed
to have been Of low character 1t Is thought
impossible that the woman could have com
mitted suicide in the open thoroughfare,
where her body was found, and it is believed
that she fell victim to the miscreant who
has murdered and mutilated SO many women.

Tur tide of Christmas gift seekers will

THE tide of Christmas gift seekers will
reach its highest point tonight. It is
fortunate that the tide that viii flow to-
night is confined to Wilmington. The
merchants of this city prepared them
selves more carefully for the holiday
trade this year than ever before and they
have earned the fullest patronage from
the community. We do not see how any
one could have gone down Market street
on the way to Philadelphia to shop with
out being tempted to stop right here and
invest his money. We have heard Of
wilmington shoppers who were pushed
from pillar to post for a whole day in
the PHILADELPHIA stores and who then
came home to get their wants and tastes
supplied here A good rule for local
buvers is to find out definitely that they
cannot get here what they want
before they undertake to so elsewhere

Middletown Transcript.
In the late convention Of the Delaware
State Grange, we seemed TO detect, in
the general animosity to railroads and
the pronounced objections 10 their at
torneys us candidates for United States
senators. an undercurrent of sympathy
with the very laudable ambition Of
Anthony Higgins, for Saulsbury's "Toga.
Two things are evident to us. The
grangers will have to be active factors IN
any legislation looking 10 a contraction
Of the powers of railroads, and not
merely objectors to their paid at
torneys being placed in high
aud honorable positions, and sec.
ondly that the advocacy oe a
gentleman who while admittedly quail
fed for the position, is scarcely more Of
a granger than Mr. Massey, is scarcely
bringing them nearer their desires than
they were before while the election Of
John c. Higgins, gives color ia the nat
nral Inference that there is quite as much
family in the affair, IS granger. Apart
from these considerations the presumed
candidacy of both Mr.. Massey and Mr.
Higgins, is honorable and fair; either
will lend dignity and brains to the Office
Mr. Higgins will look after the best in
terests Of Delaware without regard to
railroads, grangers, or other organiza-
tions Mr.. Massey will do no less. Give
both an equal change.
