GRAVITY raised to position of honor.
Benjamin t. Biggs is deliberate in
his insult to all good Democrats. He
disregards public good and party pol
icy with equal coolnessand impudence.
He places a premium upon treachery,
deceit and villainy. He exalts trail
tor to his party to further his own pri-
Yate ends.
In all the history of our State there
is not another act like It. But we
thank thee, Biggs, for this appoint
ment. It has made possible the cur
failing of the. tremendous power re-
posed by our constitution in the hands
Of the Governor. Unconsciously you
aud the man have donea great deal for
acknowledgement Record.

What the Press Thinks.
OPINIONS OF HIMSELF AND OTHERS
REGARDING THE NEW sECRE-
TARY OF STATE.

1t is very good sign that the right
thing has been done when what is
done meets the mounting dIsapproval
of the criminal classes, their aiders
and abettOrs. Governor Biggs can
well afford to view with contempt
the agOnized writings of the chief
editor OF the LtdeF, and the editor of
this paper cares as little for his abuse
or appreciation as for the swapping and
snarling of any other NANCY cur he
may meet in the street. We never
expected from the Index the statement
Of any local political facts or happen
ings that did not contain gross false
hoods. We never expect to find any
thing in that paper about the editor
Of The DeiawareaH untinged with
lying malice. The heart Of the chief
editor is so eaten up with lies, malice
and deceit, that all his illusions must
show their handlwOrk. We long ago
gave him full license to lie about and
abuse US as he pleases. We would dis
like some people to feel gratified. Del

AZ Rxoellent REORGANIZATION.
Morning Mews.l


Governor Biggs. has taken patriotic
and judlcIOus step In permitting Gen
eral Kenney and Colonel Marshall to
announce to the National Guard of
this State that he will be gratified to
see them join with the Grand Army
posts in celebrating Memorial Day.
The official circular on the subject
says:
The observance of Memorial Day should
be Joined in by at least all members of the
National Guard, and it is hoped that each
company and troop will on that day in this
and in each year hereafter be found joining
with the veterans in doing honor to the mem
cry of those dead heroes who helped make
and who helped preserve this our great coun-
try.
We say that this is patriotic, because
the concrete example by marching
men Of devotion to tue memory Of
hose who died for thei country is the
main method by which the young can
be made to understand the real nature
OF patriotic love aud the extent of pa
triOtic duty; and il is judiciOus because
Delaware, with all her sister States,
needs to have the blood of those now
living quickened with patriotic MEM
cries, and definite impressions of the
value Of ones native land, and of its
unity,cOnveyed along from generation
to generation. so that our citizens at
all times may know the worth of their
civil institutions. and so that in any
case Of need, domestic or foreign, our
Delaware boys may possess that faith
full and courageous spirit which is so
essential to those whO.in every parade
Of the Union, will, by virtue Of the pa
triOtism of their forefathers, always be
ct the fright of the line"

been, and appropriations for important PUBIC
obiects ara not increased, but neither condition
can he counted upon with confidence. Indeed,
the usual ebb and flow of imports are such that
\ considerable falling off within year or two
might be expected. The President and Score
ta,y both recommend appropriations in aid Of
foreign mail facilities and better commercial
communications, for coast defence and for re-
construction Of the navy. The President also
recommends some appropriation in aid Ct pub
lie education, and iberality with good sense
in tho improvement of rivers and harbofs.<
Finally, both recommend suspension Of silver
coinage, which brings into the Treasury every
wear nominal revenue, swelling by $4,000
600 or more the amount Of money reported in
the Treasury compared with the amount paid
for bullion, and this nominal increase of funds
would be cut off if their recommendation should
be adopted,
There would not be left room for a very large
reduction of revenue If all these things should
be done, but it is evidently anticipated that all
will not be, for repeal of the taxes on tobacco
and on spirits used in the arts is also proposed
This would cut down the revenue by S32, 800
O00 leaving surplus of only $4,000 900,
which would be small enough for safety, so
long as the purchase Of bonds for the sinking
fund is required at the present rate. The work
of tariff amendment would in that case be
separated from the question of revenue except
ing as it may be held essential to balance
changes which are likely to increase revenue
by other changes which will diminish it.
There is said to be good reason to believe
hat Major Vic ~ L. 4oJ
as chairman Of the Committee of Ways and
Means, having The work of tariff. revision in
charge. No other man in the House has great
er fitness for the task, His scathing review
Of the Mills bill in the minority report which
was prepared by him was one of the strongest
and most thorough arguments ever made on
the subject and exhibited familiarity with
the workings of the tariff which very few men
possess If he is chosen, with committee able
and willing to support him effectively, changes
may be expected which will make the tariff
incomparably more beneficial to the country.
