We acifisI, Pniiaiciar,.

The selfish politician breads nothing
but defeat He has only one solici-
iude-how to catch the breeze of pop
tliar favor that shall carry him into
the haven Of Office and power. II
iishonor is necessary to this end he
does not scruple to incur it. The
selfish politician connot afford to con
Germ himself with any question except
Immediate success. The public wei
fare, the honor Of his State, County or
HUNDRED, the verdict of history, are
all high sounding but empty phrases,
and to him of no Importance. He
breads no shame but defeat. To lose
Office is the one evil thing to him, and
he cares for nothing else. He is
probably selfish or prejudicod. He
either thinks his own loss Of self a
greater disaster than any other, or else
ne thinks ms pohtlcal opponent I'M
worthy of confidence, and himself and
his party the only people that ought
to be trusted. 1t is assuming great
deal to allege that we are the patriots,
honest and capable, and the other
party are traitors, dishonest and in.
capable. Yet just this is the exact
conduct Of the selfish politician. lie
gulls his allies by such assumptions
and by premises of a share in the
spoils, and as he succeeds in appeal
ing to the selfshness and prejudice o.
his political friends he maintains hi
majority and avoids defeat. Whoever
will be the successful nominees for any
Office in this Hundred County or Stat
next Tuesday, we trust this description
of a selfish politician will not apply t.
any Of them.

HOW II Generates.

The way the present assessment law
in New Castle county operates is this /;
BY some means the name of II citizen
is gotten off of the assessment list. If
he is freebooter this accident or de-
sign does not happen. If he is a poor
man and is not of our party, it hap
pens often. Now as it has taken place,
the question is, how shall he get it on
again? Well, suppose he resides Mt
some remote point distant from the
county town. He cannot get there
without loss of time and heavy ex-
pense; and he cannot secure his rights
without going to the county town, so
that he is compelled to suffer the loss
Of time and money or sacrifice his
rights rs citizen. Not only so, but

Israel's best king, after an expert
ence Of forty years upon the throne,
and after looking into human conduct
and reading human character, and
under Heavens Inspiration, said to
his son for whom he was just about
to abdicate the throne and resign the
sceptre; "Show thyself a man." syc-
ophaney and puerility were not only
dangerous to the safety OF the kingdom,
but a certain premonition of its down
fall. Solomon did not lack wisdom but
he lacked true manhood. He needed
above everything the bravery to do
right before God and men. There
are not few Solomons who do not
lack wisdom SO much as they lack
courage.
There is nothing in Pompeii that
invests it with a deeper interest than
the spot where soldier Of old Rome
displayed a most heroic fidelity. That
fatal day on which Vesuyius, at the
foot Of which the city stood, burst out
into an eruption that shook the earth,
a sentinel kept watch by the gate
which looked to the burning mountain
Amid the fearful disorder the sentinel
had been forgotten; and as Rome
required her sentincls, happen what
might, to hold their posts till relieved
by the guard, or set at liberty by theii
officers, he had chosen between death
and dishonor. Pattern of fidelity, he
stands by his post Slowly but surely
the ashes rise on his manly form; now
they reach his breast; now covering hi,
lips, they choke his breathing. Hftel
seventeen centuries his skeleton il
found standing erect in a marble niche
clad in rusty Grmor, the helmet ON hi
empty skull, and his bony fingers still
closed upon his spear. Let us cleo
such men, next Tuesday, to guard Tho
interests Of our county state ani

TIE Delaware bull-dozer is not the
title OF new venture in journalism
but a new style of politician. He is
not, it is true, very formidable or
dignifod specimen, but that may be
in part accounted for by the fact that
this is the first effort, so far as We
know, that our Diamond state has
made to produce such vegetable, and
also in part to the fact that the soil,
climate, latitude, etc, of Delaware
do not seem to be well suited for its
full development. He will be about
