IN A long and spiteful article on the
Bavard family, Cath" says of the Secre-
tary Of State:
About the worst that can be said
of him is his tightening the outrageous
laws of the State Of Delaware to keep
ont the registration Of persons as good
as himself. who should have all the
privileges Of voters, and are his neigh
bors. II he had been liberal enough to
alter these laws, he might have been &C
cepted across party lines as a very good
sort of man, and perhaps kept in place,
but having failed, the whole of this ele-
ment in Wilmington turns upon him and
expresses gladness that he is beaten.
The laws of Delaware do not bear hard
on man who is worthy citizen or upon a
citizen who values his privileges. The man
who is not willing to pay one-dollar poll
tax is unworthy of citizenship Amy man
who sets any value upon the privilege Of
voting can exercise his privilege If he
wishes to do so. The citizens Of Will
mington and the people of Delaware
respect, admire and honor Mr. Bayard
and the correspondents statements above
are as untrue as they are vicious.

Extensive preparations are being made

from other sources about 800. 000-be-
sides $500, 600 in cash Jubilee gifts. His
total disbursements aggregated about

Robert CARROTS counsel has fled an
answer TO the suit of DIR. Nathan r. Cor

the court 81 600, which, together with
81, 900 paid in Berlin when Gorter was
discharged, he believes to be enough to
satisfy the plaintiffs claims.

Perhaps be what the pions call
The nimbus Of a saint.
Descended from the puritans,
Her tastes so catholic
The halo round her head would make
Each old ancestor sick.
She's not like Fra Angciico's

A soul shut up IN skim

Within no homely shell.

FROM a speech Of Prince Bismark ne
ported from Berlin it is inferred that
Germany and England have pade a close
compact to support and maintain their
mutual colonial acquisitions. Great Brit
tain has full possession Of the Fiji Islands,
aud it seems the policy Of Germany is to
obtain like possession Of the
Samoan Islands. Meanwhile both
Powers are dividing territory in
Africa and sustaining each others
acquisitions. The two powers have
made compact and in any controversy
between Germany and the United States
Germany win be supported by Great
Britain with more or less ardor. 1t is
possible also that France may oppose the
policy Of the United States, because OF
the interest Of her citizens in thu
Panama canal France and German,
may bury the Ratchet over the Alsace

THERE are only few carping critics
who disapprove of Secretary Bayard's
Samoan policy who would not disapprove
of anything whatever that the Secre-
tary proposed Not because they could
find any fault with the thing itself, but
simply because they are 'agn" Mr.. Bay
ard. The New York Tribune has long
editorial commenting the Secretary for
his prompt, efficient and states
manlike treatment of the whole
matter, which, from political op-
ponent, is high praise OF course it must
be recognized that it is not within tn
province Of the Secretary nor Of the
President 10 declare war while Congress
is in session. Secretary Bayard is a strict
constructionist and he is too discreet and
too patriotic to preeipitate contest with
Germany Of which the people and Con-
gress did not heartily approve. If there
is to be any fighting whatever the time

THE SALVATION ARMY.
HOW THE ORGANIZATION IS REGARD
ED IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Gen. Moore, Chief OF the American Saliva
ton ARA :, and Sow he Was Requested
to nesig1s--Cen. q soth's Attemp. to Unite
the English and American Forces.
There y sonnet, ing ludicrous in the
recent revolt against the authority Of
Gen. Thomas Il. Moore, commander-in-
chief of TIE Salvation Army. when one
considers how the action Of those throw
ing off Gen. Moores authority would lie
considered If they were real soldiers in
q real army. They wrote n letter TO the
general inviting him to resign, and then
set up headquarters for themselves.
Now. the Salvation Army is organized
und, the form of real army, and in
such any expression of dissatisfaction
with the acts of the commander, espe-
ciallv in the face Of the enemy-and the
Salvationists are alwaya in presence of
mans arch enemy, Satan--wOuld be
looked upon as mutiny; and mutiny is
punishable with death.
Whether Gen. Moore or his accusers
be AZ fault, and however similar the
uniforms and titles of the Salvationisls
be TO those Of men of actual war, the
proceedings in the recent stand against
the general are hardly in accordance
with those prescribed for preferring
charges in the Army Regulations.
How would it appear for the subordi-
nate officers in a real army in the field
10 send letter 10 its commanding gen
eral asking Linn 10 resign. and setting up
headquarters Of their own and choosing
z commander to suit themselves What
would we have thought during the civil
war 20 hear Of the corps commanders OF
