OUR correspondent from smyrna pre-
sents a woeful picture Of inconsistency
on the liquor question among the pro.
hibition advocates. smyrna has three
legitimate and appropriate places for the
sale Of liquors. and yet one Of the drug
gists has applied for state license to
sell liquor. Our correspondent says
that this druggist Stands high
in the church, has applied for
a state license to sell liquor, and that
his application has been signed by
several other leading members Almost
10 man these persons are not only pro
fessed Christians but prohibitionists as
well, and there are those Of us
here who can't see the consistency
in it. If the object is to promote tenn.
perance there are two ways which sug
gest themselves to calm and sensible
people. These are the restrictions Of the
liquor traffic and the punishment Of the
drunkard. The prohibitionists wildly
and yehemently propose other meas
ures which have proved VIGOROUSLY
impracticable. But even if prohibition
were not unpractieable in itself it is use
less because it cannot be universally en-
forced against the appetites and the SEN
timents Of the people. We have a very
good license law and the real friends
Of temperance in Delaware should use the
vituperative and noisy energy in support

Sad Days for Civil service Reformers.
Baltimore sun
Patriots who could not vote for Mr.
Cleveland last fall on account of his al
legged lapses from the spirit Of civil
service reform are having sad life now
adays. They voted for the other candi-
date partly because the Chicago platform
promised great things ana partly because
Mr.. Harrison, IN his letter Of acceptance.
promised the utmost devotion to the
letter and spirit OF the civil service
law. They preferred the bird in
the bush TO the bird ia hand. with
the usual result, They fnd themselves
laughed at for their simplicity in believ-
ing party promises made at election time.
They see the spells idea again in the
ascendant Offices are used to reward
politicians TO muzzle the press and to
buy political support. Cleyeland's motto
Public office is public trust, Is
ignored, and there is substituted for Il
the principle that public Office is private
opportunity. A test Of the attitude Of
the administration of Cleveland and Har
rison toward the Esprit" Of civil service
reform is found in removals from Office
From March 2, 1885, to June 30 1885
there we're 399 removals Of fourth class
postmasters, while in the first FIVE months
Of the present administration nearly
10. 600 were removed Ii took the Cleye
land administration % months to remove
"a per cent. Of the fourth-class post
MASTER but its successor has removed
Is per cent. in FIVE months. This ought
to be very depressing, Of course for
those members Of civil service reform
clubs who were so jealous a year ago.
But it probably is not. One hears very
little from them now.

here would be that they sur
pass in elegance, completeness
and number of styles, without
doubt in quantity as well, the
united total of all other Dress
Goods stocks in this city.
This statement is made ad-
visedly.
For the next two days the
women of Philadelphia can
have a great treat in the exhi-
bition we are making of Dress
Novelties.
There is a feeling of depres-
sion as one turns from even
a superficial study of this
stock to writing of it. This
simple truth told in the most
prosaic style would make a
story that would challange
credulity. Shall we attempt
to interest you by detailed de-
scription? Our best sense

Aisle, noticing the tables in

diers, each showing a style OF
Dress Goods different in some
respect from every other, you
might easily ask, was there
ever a show like this7 There
are different styles on show,
but the pilgrim to the counters
will soon find that our unseen
world of Dress Goods is
greater than the seen, and the
styles that remain more numer-
Gus than those which appear.
Save a few Cashmeres and
Henriettas, plain and staple
goods remain in ordinary on
the shelves, and also the vast
quantities of the cheaper sorts
of Fancy Dress Goods.
A study of Art in Dress
Goods is always attractive
Don't laugh, but there is ar
art feeling in the stuffs. YOU
would be dull, indeed, were
you to look over these prod

dollars they cost, the machine:

carried them, the mechanical

Cancer can be Cured

Dr. r. c. Rlack, of Georgia, is in the city
on visit. He has devoted the last six
years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a
remedy from experiments made on very
bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon well, no
signs of it ever having returned.
He has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years, and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged-c He will
remain in San Antonio, Texas, several
months. Consultation free, at 40 East
Houston street. DR.. Black is graduate of
the Medical University of Pennsylvania, at
Philadelphia and has practiced over thirty
years.

A FiendiSh Wife Killer.

BUFFALO, April IS. - fearful
tragedy was enacted about o'clock
this morning, in the rear of No. 154
Seneca street, a tenement occupied by
Dominguez, a Spaniard, his wife,
Clarina, and their two little children.
Dominguez attacked his wife with a
razor. She must have fought
desperately, for her hands, arms,
head and face were cut and
slashed in many places, but he finally
obtained the mastery and almost
cut her head from her body.
The fiend then dragged her down
stairs, threw her out upon the pave
ment in the court, where she died.
He then went back into the
front bed room, from which he
could see his wife lying be-
low, almost swimming ia her blood.
Standing there, he, with the same
razor cut his throat, leaving a hole
into which man could easily push
both hands, and falling close to the
window died instantly. The murderer
left letter in which he accused his
wife of infidelity and said he intended
to kill her.
