THE papers Of Delaware do more free
advertising than those Of any other state

remarking recently in this connection
that there was not country paper in
the whole Diamond State that he would
have as precious gift.-Sussex Journal.
The EVENING JOURNAL has had its
share Of free advertising because the
older papers have set the fashion. But
we have resisted wherever possible and
to-day our columns are filed with
live advertisements every one of
which is paid for. The EVENING JOURNAL
expects TO print the news and
win steadily refuse to boom
any particular business or scheme
by which some rich man or rich
corporation may make more money. It
is well known that only the rich have
the assurance to ask such favors. We
are glad to commend and assist anv good
public enterprise, but we shall exercise
our own judgment in making the dis
elimination between public enterprises
and private schemes.

THE reasons for appointing a matron
at the City Hall are that the women
prisoners may be properly cared for and
protected from gallantries and that some
favorite may have employment at 5000
year. There are only about ten or fifteen
women arrested here month and they
do not need protection. II is seldom that
decent woman is subjected to arrest,
and such women always have friends
who provide for their safety.

In the Presbyterian assembly at New
York there was a lengthy debate on the
question of a separate board for the
freedmen. There were charges of inef-
fciency against the present board which
were partially sustained and the as.
sembly decided to keep the Freedmen 5
Board under the supervision OF
the Board Of Home Missions
The debate was sharply contested
DIR. Dickey began his speech against a
separate board with evident restraint.
He was interrupted at the outset by a
member who wished to give him informa-
tion.
81 don't want your information now, y
said the speaker II am already too full
for utterance Loud applause. This
board has been hanging by the eyelids
for three days. It's great shame, very
great shame Applause
DR. Nicolls of st. Louis, said that these
charges were hanging over Secretary
Allen as well, and that this was also a
shame.
ALIENS all right, was the quiet com
ment Of member. but it caught the
house, and the roar Of laughter resisted

In the Presbyterian Assembly in New
York DIR. Allison asserted that every

false. He then explained the legal
complications which had seemed to make
matters look far worse than they
really were. But he failed to explain
his peculiar phraseology.

THE commissioners, instructed by Mr.
Blaine insist that Malietoa shall not
only be sent back 10 Samoa, but shall
again be clothed with authority as king
BY referring to the diplomatic CORES
pondence concerning Samoa. Secretary
Blaine and the American commissioners
would find that they have committed
themselves TO policy which has been
expressly disclaimed by the State Depart
ment under Republican as well as
Democratic administration, and one
which, as Mr.. Bayard pointed ont. would
be fruitful Of trouble for this country In
effect, the American commissioners de
mand that the Samoans shall be required
to accept a king chosen, not by them
selves, but by the foreign powers. Bal
