NEW CASTLE, Del, Dec. 4 I'm regards
to statement made by the Every
Evenings correspondent in regards to
the soup given the prisoners, your cor.
respondent made is a point to find out
the ingredients used in its preparation
from the "s0up" erintendent Of the
culinary department. The grease which
rises to the top Of the water used in
cooking the meat, is not, as was errone-
ously stated, skinned of and sold, but
the water and such of the fatty matter
which arises f.om the meat during it's
cooking, Is used in the preparation
OF the sour. This fluid is put into a
large boiler together with q bushel of
cabbage and two large baskets of pota
toes. as to their having been turnips
used, that has only been done once this
year and that was when about a half
peck Of them we're thrown in early in the
fall. McCaull is accused Of having told
this story about a small basket OF beans
thrown in a large amount Of water and
this decoction given to the pris-
oners as ratious. According to
the cook, Mr. McCaull was never 10

nothing of the preparation Of the rations
for the prisoners In connection with Mon

prisoners from the bum cell, that part

Doodle It seems that the News might
not be SO stupidity and wilfully obtuse.
1t seems almost incomprehensible that
the News win continue to defend a man
who has acknowledged his own guilt The
News cannot perceive that an homogeneous
tumble Of sentimental nonentities does
not constitute an argument Chief Swig
gett has done what an intelligent
law-abiding and scrupulously honest man
would not have done He has done what
no bank cashier or trusted clerk in the
city would dare to do He has done what
would have caused the sudden dismissal
of police officer. He has done what, In
any man, in any position Of trust where
other peoples money was at risk, would
have merited sudden dismissal. Still ths
News attempts to Justify him. Why
Is there something back Of this2 Tn,
News cannot be putting itself into sucl
an insane position for nothing. Is 1t foi

of these, but from some other hidder

A communication appeared in the

George II. Williams, who was convicted
as indicted, Of murder ia the first degree
rne writer assorted that IL Williams
had been white man the verdict
would have been iusli6eble homi-
c de aud also said that ''the
jury which convicted him would stand
accursed before the world" The writer
Of the communication, .who signed him

trial anl to Peo's acquittal which has
nothing whatever TO do with the VIII

EILTHY MONEY NoT wANrEp.


The payment Of poll tax is a part Of
the exercise Of the duty aud privilege Of
suffrage
The position Of the state is that o man
who will not register properly and pay Q
small head tax is not competent or
desirable voter
The right 70 vote is not inherent it is
a privilege conferred on certain people
from whom the commonwealth exacts
specified small duties.
The position OF the state--wlich Is the
people-is. that a man who refuses from
venol motives or who is too ignorant to
know how to comply with such simple
requirements is an incompetent voter
The position Of the state is that man
who is so small as to sell his vote hall
not be worthy Of the right Of suffrage at
all.
Those negroes who 90 to the Askew
building. receive money from the negro
buying gang Of Republican managers,
obtain suffrage certificates and deposit
them in the keeping Of those notorious
buyers are notoriouBiy incompetent
voters and should be deprv Of the
privilege Of suffrage. The right OF suf-
frage is Of no benefit to such man him
self and it is hurtful to the state 0 put
it at his disposal.
Every legal effort possible, should be
used to prevent Illegal registration. lilo
gal tax-paYing and Illegal voting. These
are all consecutive steps ia the exercise Of
the privilege Of suffrage. One Is as i'm
portant as the other and none Of them
should be permitted without strict
compliance with the law.
The Democrats need not be afraid that
they win be put in the wrong on this
question by the gang Of political bucea
ueers, who have undertaken the task Of
procuring yenal voters Ia the interest Of
the Republican Party.
The Democrats are intrcnched behind
the law, good morals, sound philosophy
and patriotism
The state docs not need the filth
money which comes from venal voters
and the safety and purity Of the ballot
demand that they shall be excluded from
the polls. The men in that Askew-
building-gang are conspirators against
the purity Of the ballot, against the inter.
est Of che commonwealth and thry have
not the support OF the decent element in
she Republican party.
They are defylng the laws, they are
outraging decency, good morals aud pa-
iriotism. The Democratic officials are
occupying position which Is impregua-
bic.

BfsHor KEENER Of New Orleans, who
presided at the conference Of the Metho-
dist church in Columbia, S. O., threw 4
big bombshell into the ranks Of the 'holi.
ness element Of the church In charg
ing the class Of young preachers who
were to be ordained ministers in full, the
Bishop said
There are some very well meaning peo
pie who think they have advanced
beyond their fellows, that they have
taken OF had committed to their hands
the banner Of holiness. Don't
tell people you have got the perfect sav
ing grace of God. IL
you tell Of II they viii doubt Of your hav-
ing IL. Wlen you have it you will know
It, and others and will know 1t without
your boasting Of It
1t seems passing strange that such re
marks qf homely wisdom should be ne
cessary, but they we're necessary or a
bishop would not have made them. It is
said to be the first official utterance ever
made by Bishop Of lie Methodist
Church In regard to the peculiar doctrine
OF holiness" which has large following
ia both the Northern and Southern
churches, and Bishop Keener's condem-
nation Of it has caused decided sensa-
tion among the perfect" brethren.

The Presidents message to Congress is
admirable in form and comprehensive in
scope, referring In dignifed and well
chosen phrases to all the topics Of domes
tic and foreign concern that now occupy
the public mind In substance it is, for
the most part, a parapbrase of the
Chicago platform. Protective tariff views
are presented in uncompromisng Ian
guage, and strengthina of the strong
arm Of the Federal government, with the
object of controlling Southern elections,
is urged with partisan zeal. The
President does not adopt Mr. Cleveland s
phrase, Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation, but puts it more mildly. "The

The message, is upon the whole.

matters treated. but of the breadth ol
view and nation spirit it betrays the less

goes 50 far as to broadly hint at some
sort Of coddling legislation for farmers,

time he insists that Congress should
reduce readiust and liberalize the Gus

receipts correspond as closely al
possible to the needs Of tn,

self and his party. II it means that
subsidies are not to Be granted he tray

own speech that pensions are

Harrison was elected If its declaration

CHAMBER SUITS.
We have made several adj
ditions to our already large line
of Antique Oak Chamber
Suits. Our Suits at $25, $28,
$50 and $40 we have told you
of before. We control the
factory's product for this city
of these Suits, and we are the
envy of the trade. These
Suits are without doubt the
best for the money that are on
the market to. day, being from
SIS to $Io cheaper than the
same grade of suits found in
other stores. This statement
is not idle brag used for adyer-
tislng purposes, but we know it
to be an indisputed fact, and
we will guarantee the prices at
all times. The above prices
are for solid oak (not ash)
Suits, consisting of a full eight
piece Suit. We have plenty OF
Others, up to 500.
We give you here not a few
but many to select from. Our
customers are not obliged to
take what we want them to
take through only having a few,
out they can look and decide
among the many and get what
they want.
We also ask your attention
to our Cherry Suit, eight pieces
for $23.
In Walnut our prices range
from $40 upwards for solid
walnut, marble top Suits Of
eight pieces.
We offer you what few Ash
Suits we have at a great reduc-
ton. Also a few Walnut Side
boards to be sold from SIo to
SIS less than regular selling
prices. These Sideboards have
been used in our warerooms as
samples, and we dispose oi
them to be replaced with
fresher goods.
Remember we have only
one Of each pattern and they
are dirt cheap.
