FRIENDS To RE DREJDHD

President Cleveland has reason to pray to
be delivered from his friends. AS one way of
| accounting for his defeat, the claim Is set up
that the public mind was poisoned against him
| by the private circulation of stories attacking
his home life, and representing him as an in
temperate and brutal husband. 1.-The New
York Times' enjoys the doubtful honor of
having been the first to promulgate this theory.
Its example was promptly followed by "The
Evening Postn and now by "The Springfield
Republican" and before long we shall no doubt
have general whine all along the line. Ii is
charged that these stories were deliberately
and sedulously coined and set ahoat by. the
Republicans as part Of the policy Of their
campaign; that they shrewdy recognized the
necessity of keeping such scandals out of the
newspapers because their publication would
only react upon their authors and that there
fore the work was done by colporteurs who
carried the tales from house to house among
their acquaintances, and so eventually spread
them far and wide.
1t is almost incredible that such trash as this
should be believed by persons outside of an
asylum for the feeble-minded. Such stories
WERE it is true, current not only during the
campaign, but for months and even years be-
fore it began. They were never taken up by
the Republican press, not because Mr. Quay
had private corps OF mind -poisoners at work,
but because reputable newspapers were not
willing to discuss them, even to deny them.
They were stories to be let alone, like all the
other innumerabe scandals that are born and
die in day in the heated atmosphere of Wash
ington, and most of all should they have been
left alone now. Ii is further true that the
persons most conspicuous in fomenting such
gossip were Democrats, who were embittered
against Mr.. Cleveland by sights which he
seems to have taken pains to put upon almost
everybody within his reach. 1t is further true
that the first publication of this sort was made
at the st. Louis Convention by an avowed
friend Of Governor Hill. Even when this had
been done it was the Mugwump allies of the
Democracy which took most pains to acquaint

No fault is to be found with the Citizens
Committee on High License because it has de-
cided not to draw up High-License bill for
submission TO the Legislature until after the
report of the Excise Revision Commission is
handed in. There is a prospect that the Com
mission itself may report High-License bill,
as it has full power TO do. It's doing so
would be severe blow to Governor Hill, whose
purpose in proposing the creation of the Com
mission was to divert attention from the High
License issue. Should the Commission not in
clude provisions for High License in the law
which it is expected to report on January O.,
there will be plenty of time to get High
License bill under way SO that in case of o
veto ample opportunity to override the Gov
erR0Ss adverse action will be afforded.

The record of the Lfe-Saving Service does not

1858 persons in peril, it saved all but II. and
it preserved so much property that it may be SAID

An interesting item in Sundays papers stated
that three white convicts and one negro were
whipped at Newcastle, Del, on Saturday morn
ing for arcenies and burglares, receiving from
five to twenty lashes each. Most of the civilized
world including all OF the United States except
Delaware, has outgrown the practice Of infictng
bodily punishment on criminals BY the last
election Delaware was emancip0ted from the bond
age of Democracy, to which it has long been
subject and it is in order to inquire whether the
Republican party, when it assumes the reins Of
power, will be inclined to propose reform in
this matter of corporal punishment Probably
Delaware cannot do better than to fall in line
with other civilized communities and commit
the whippingpost to the limbo to which the stocks
and the ducldng-stool were long since consigned.

c. NJ Hooper, of Montgomery, Ala, is an ener-
gctic worker in the literary division of the New
South. He has set the Alabama air palptating
with pleasing mixture of politics and poetry,
which he styles "A Democratic Lament" Owing
to the pressure on our columns we are limited to
this extract:
As Democrat lament, though Of the Wings they did
desptse,
Not one OF their sort" by nature perhaps one of the
galvanized,

scnpted,

lghtful mystery to Mr.. Hooper's verse.

Prince Bismarck, D. D., was pious lad when
he attended the Gray Cloister in Berlin and was
confirmed by the celebrated DR. Schleiermacher.
That was before he went to Goettingen TO fight
twenty university duels or retired TO Schoenhausen
TO live like FOSTERING country squire and TO
break his beer-mug the skull of an ardent
rcvolutionist who was disrespectful in his talk
about the Royal family 1t was not until he was
Minister of State that he considered it necessary
TO relate his religious experiences and to apologize
for such indiscretions as having his photograph
taken in company with charming opera singer.
But madcap as Bismarck was in his youth, and
contemptuous of public opinion as he was even
in the prime Of manhood, his letters and public
speeches have disclosed deep religious convictions
and q fervent faith. AS his Emperor, the first
William was conscientious Bible-reader. so he,
while not much of church-gocr, has been during
the greater part of his career sincere believer IN
evangelical faith.

ImPoRrANT TRANSACTION.

Sale of the Gilbert Property on Elm
and church Streets by the Trustees to
q PromIQent New Haven Wholesale
House.
One of the most important sales of real es
tate in this city in months took place this
week. The property sold is ON Elm and
Church streets, fronting 1876 feet on Elm and
about 80 on Church, being the chief real es-
tate of the insolvent estate of Mr.. Elijah Gill
bert, whose financial difficulties have of late
furnished a topic of much local interest, he
previously having been supposed worth
from 100000 to 100000 above all claims.
The property in question has been purchased
by the noted firm of Strong, Barnes, Hart &
Co., wholesale butchers and dealers in meats
on Long Wharf. The firm were among the
largest creditors of Mr. Gilbert, their claim
being about sac, 1000. The property pur-
chased by them includes the Gilbert store on
the corner and the double brick residence adj
joining, on Elm street. The price paid was
81, 900 or 81, 900 for the equity, the purchas-
ers assuming the mortgage for $50, 600 upon
the property, which was given jointly by
Elijah Gilbert and his niece, Miss Austin.
The purchase was made of Gen. s. E. Mer-
win, trustee. The store upon the estate, as
has hitherto been announced, has been taken
by @. E. Hart C Co., the State street mar
ketmea. There were several applications to
buy ont the store stock and lease the store,
but the trustee was unable to give a lease of
the premises. On the purchase of the real
estate in question, lease was given by the
purchasers to the parties now in possession.
In the hands of Strong, Barnes, Hart & Co.
as owners of this valuable central property,
the day is not far distant, probably, when
some important improvements of the locality
may be accomplished. The property brought
a much less price than the land alone has
usually been valued at but yielded, proba-
bly,, all that could have been obtained at
Dronnnk aaIa
