Death on the Rail.

The dead body Of colored man was found
lying on the station platform at Bear station
on the Delaware railroad early on Friday
morning by the night operator at the station.
He notified the authorities at Wilmington,
and Coroner Gamble went to Bear and
brought the body to Wilmington. The man
is supposed TO have been struck by a train
during the night. The only marks of vio-
lence about him were a cut on the left side
of the head near the eye and a few bruises
although the man had bled from the mouth,
indicating the cause of death to be an in
ternal hemonhage probably From letters
found on his person, he is supposed to be
Nathaniel /. Hudson, who lived at No. STo
East Fifth street. In letter dated May 5th,
he writes to his wife in Milford and among
the batch were also several letters from her
to him, mailed to the same address.

THE hand of Democratic trickery is
manipulating the wires in New Cas-
tie that not only the city government
of Wilmington may remain in Demo
cratic control, but that the Democratic
party, through questionable methods,
aided and abetted by men high in
authority, may be able to dIsqualify
the Republicans for the election in
1890. This is one of the methods that
a dying party stoops to to perpetuate
its control for even a brief period, and
put off the day of Constitutional Re-
form. Men of New Castle, you may
rob Kent and Sussex of her Just rights
for time, but remember, that we have
the balance of power and when fair
and gentle measures fail with you, we
know how to apply the lash to an
obstreperous sisters back. In the lam
guage of former Democratic member
of the House of Representatives,
"Kent and Sussex will take care of
New Castle" The Grubb.Walcott-
Bayard men Of New Castle may post
Pone for a time, but they cannot es-
cape constitutional convention, even
by disreputable political methods in

THE MILITIA.
OPINIONS BY THOSE WHO KNOW AND THOSE
WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
TALKING OF.

The most of our visitors to New York to
witness the great military pageant saw the
Delaware boys on a straight march where
they seemed TO be carrying themselves with
proper military precision. One of our citi-
zens saw them under circumstances that
mortified him then, and he still remains
so, as expressed to us yesterday. He had
an elevated seat on Broadway where the
procession swept around the corner of four
teenth street to take a circuit of Union
Square. The view was one of the best ones
on the line, giving full view in both direc-
tons. It was turning this corner right be-
fore him where he wanted them to do their
best before his New York friends that he was
made to feel ashamed of the old Blue Hens
Chickens. As the U. S. troops turned the
corner the men on the right of the line
would serve as pivot for the others to sweep
around, the most distant ones taking the
longest steps. The Delaware militia mani
tested an utter ignorance of moving in mill
tary style, and went around the corner like a
flock Of sheep His pride was touched aud
he became sensitive at the 1ines that were
made at the Delaware boys. He watched in
the hours following to find some maneuver
that would offset their bad tactics in turning
a corner, but it did not come in the whole
line, there being no break among those of
the other States and in but few instances a
crookedness in the lines.-SmYrNa Times.
The . l..
tailed a number of officers Of the regular
army to witness the parade of the militia at
the New York parade. who, after a confer
ence, have issued report. The portion re-
lating to the Delaware militia is given
''With the passing of the last of the blue !
jackets the review of regulars is ended, and
now comes the real lesson of the parade. |
Little Delaware is the FIRST to put in an ap-
pearance, which she does through her Gov
ernor and an accompanying regiment of
infantry and a troop of cavalry. Delaware's
First Regiment presents very creditabIe |
showing, triae uneasy perhaps, but pos
sessing NO glaring faults, and none that
could not be eliminated by a few months of
service.-Nes0 York World.
The correct position of the two above
may readily be judged by the author
ity from which they are quoted, and
while we are not championing the
cause of the State troops in the execu-
ton of the fright turn" at 14th street
and Broadway, we cannot but indulge.
the query: Is a man who cannot dis
anguish fright wheep from right r
turn" competent to criticise military
in the public press?
Much unnecessary discussion has
followed the parade Of our troops in
New York, and those who know least
about the merits and dement's Of the
case were loudest in their criticisms.
Such indiscriminate scribbllng and
utter ignorance Of the existing facts is
prejudicial to the welfare Of the troops

A GOOD REEORM.

EDWARD ATKINSON, the social econ
omist, whose efforts to Introduce more
scientific and remunerative methods in
the domestic economy have been noted,
is giving promising indications of very
practical results. In an address before
a public health association in an East
ern city. last week. on the science of
cooking, he gave illustrations of his
theories by cooking meat. vegeta-
bles, fish and pastry on the platform.
and serving them to his hearers. His
special aim was to show that there was
a great wastage of heat in cooking, and
Tat while reading the paper or sewing
the lady could do all the cooking for the
evening meal by the heat of the lamp
by which she was reading or sewing.
AS he shows the practieability Of this
by actual experiment, he cannot I've
classed with the fanciful theorists. He
will have the interested attention of the
hOusekeepers and fnanciers if he can
relieve culinary dlscomfortse and obtain
more palatgble results at greatly dimin-
ished expense.
