IT's a welcome day when some police
court bum. charlatan, or crank doesn't
bluster about the sanctum Of well-con-
ducted newspaper and threaten libel
suit The bluff is worked 80 often that
il ceases to afford pleasurable zest aud
piquancy to the days toll, and becomes a
vexatious bore. We'd rather be licked
than bored. Hoosier who has been
afflicted with the libel suit habit has
quashed all his cases and in his apology
to the editors explains that he 'has been
suffering from an alteration Of mind
brought on by sudden abstinence from
the use Of tobacco" Thus new argu-
ment isfurnished in defence Of the frag
rant weed and no doubt It will receive
many editorial puffs. We advise thos'
who contemplate libel suit, to put it il
their pipes and calmly smoke it, before
instituting it.

THE Morning News calls the EVENING
JOURNAL the afternoon organ Of the
county tax office. We acknowledge the
title and are proud to wear it. We are
also the organ Of the mayor, chief Of
police the Levy Court, the sheriff, Of all
the state. county and national officers. and
the people We make the title thus
comprehensive aud sweeping because we
shall always defend the above officials
when they are msligned, or when an
attempt is made, as is the case with the
tax collectors, to drive them to do what
il is their prescribed duty not to do

rAosE nAEFlnANlIs.

Yesterday the EVENING JOURNAL
proved conclusively that the Republican
party has been guilty Of some Of the
worst forms Of political debauchery ever
practiced in this state, and charged that
abe application TO the Superior Court for
msndsmus by Senator Higgins If
granted, would open the door, closed in
1881 by the Legislature, to tho de-
bauchees.
The purpose Of The EVENING JOURNAL
In printing the fac slmiles Of the fraudu.
lent satfidavts" Of 1880 is to show in
just what manner the 'powers Of attor
ney /" offered in blocks to the tax collec
tor, and which the Superior Court is
asked 10 compel him, by mandamus, to
accept; viii be used
The Myrning News this morning uses
= column OF it's valuable space in an
attempt to explain the Republican party
Of this state out of the mire Of debauch-
cry into which 1t is plunged, but its
explanation Is about as clear as mud.
1t does not deny that the Republicans
BOUGHT the blank "afiidavits"
II does not deny that the fraudulent
''afiidavits" we're USED 10 placing bogus
names on the assessment lists.
II does not deny that these names were
VOTED by the Republicans
Il does net deny that the powers OF
attorney" asked for by mandamus Will
BE USED for the same purpose that the
'.afIidavits' Of 1s79-s0 were used.
It does not deny-what's the use o.
going any furtherl Il does not den,
any and admits a great deal Of th'
charges. 1t simply feels that it must sa,
something. and rattles its dry bonei
around. making great deal Of noise, bu
entirely evading the question

FROM careful perusal Of the details
Of the race riot at Jessup, Ga. it is spps-

the whites for his own political aggran.

Mnford,s Stone school House.

The old stone school house at Milford
Cross Roads, No 81. is being replaced by
a fine brick building. The old school
house was built more than 100 years ago.
1t must have been one of the first schools
to favor the education of the white and
colored people together, for fifty years
ago both races went 10 school there
together. Many historical events were
connected with the old school. Council
man d. R. Chambers says that he re-
members that he used to be whipped
there. Isaac Van SAINT of the Philadel-
phia Sunday Transcripts, Seymour Preston
Of the Ninth ward in tnis city,
James Van Arsdalen of New Castle,
we're some of the dominies of the
old stone school house, Milford Cross
Roads, No. 81. The new building is
larger and better in every way. When
completed it will be only for white
children.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The DECLINE In Farms.

Media American.
In all agricultural communities there
has been much complaint of the lire
Quilted labor and investment Of the East
ern farmer and Of the gradual but appar-
emily constant depreciation in the market
value of his land Many instances can
be quoted in the counties of Bucks,
Montgomery. Chester and Delaware where
good farm lands have sold fully a
third below the selling prices prior to
1878 This fall the price is not excep-
tional it is the rule except in suburban
localities. and here the rise has been far
greater than the fall in farm lands, so
that an average would show a great gain
so far as Delaware county is concerned
This, however, is Of little Immediate
benefit to those Of our farmers whose
lands are not 50 fortunately placed.
yet in the long run it win greatly aid
even these. What we desire is that even
the least favored class Of our farmers
shall not become discouraged and sacri
fee their farms, for we believe that not
alone sentiment, but logic will suggest
that they hold on.
