a lesson FoR pELAWARe.

The deaths that Goodloe and Swope
have met at each others hands after a
lifetime of negro-agitation brings a
lesson home to Delaware
We have men who are engaged in ne.
gro-l leadership here Their names are
often in the papers. They are usually
men low down in the social scale. They
are often bankrupts in character and in
finances. They always belong to one
political party and their efforts are
always to secure adherents, at the polls
only, for that party
They do not attempt to teach the
negro anything that win be OF advantage
to him politically. mentally or morally.
They persuade him to give his vote to
one political party TO repay war debt
that the negro did not incur, for a service
which that party did not perform. Fail
ing in this, they threaten him with dis.
franchisement. reinstatement and even
loss Of life at the hands OF the other
party. Failing in this, direct
appeals are made TO avarice and
venal motives and the honesty. manhood
and honor Of the would be citizen Is
debauched. These things are being
done boldly, publicly and frequently in
Wilmington.
A white man sits to-day in the Askew
Building not to teach the negro moral
or political lesson, but to buy his right
Of suffrage That man is not friend to
the negro He, like the hirelings he
tempts, is a hirelng himself He simply
teaches that the negro vote is worth so
much 60 the few white men who wish
the Federal offices in Delaware.
These men, who herd the negroes to.
gether for the purpose of exciting, com.
pelling and buying their votes to swell
the minorities Of the Republican party,
intend no good to the negro himself and
less to the city or to the state.
They are public agtators without
character or high aims aud with no
anxiety to teach politics or morals to the
negro. Such political herders never be-
stow thought ON the physical, moral oI
political welfare Of the negro.
They want his vote only. If they car
obtain it cheaper by deceiving him, they
deceive him. If they cannot deceive him
they buy him Numerous broils, lnur
ders and other crimes follow In the wax,
Of this system Of negro -herding an,
negro buying.
The good citizens should see TO Il tina
it is stopped II the negro does not car
to pay his taxes control and exercise hi
own vote. then he is not good citizen.
The law intends to exclude such mai
from the polls as unworthy. Until tn
law is repealed these characterless an,
vicious negro herders are enemies of tn
state and public outlaws.
Delaware is not ready for Mahoneisr
and Wilmington does not wish simila
tragedy to that Of Goodloe aud SwopC
Wilmington does not wish to encourag
I a class Of outlaws to lead and bribe

Ir IS not strange that Goodloe and
swope died by eech others hand They
had hated each other and hated their
white neighbors With rancorous aud vim
dictive hatred, which had been nourished
to the most unnatural aud extraordinary
intensity. In the city where they lived
there were two parties. One
was the white party Of their
own race-intelligent, wealthy, vir-
tuous. The other was the black party,
composed of ignorant, superstitious ard
intensely excitable negroes. Goodloe and
Swope were rival leaders of the black
party. The blacks had no Knowledge Of
and consequently no interest in politi-
cal affairs. The only method Of
arousing their interest in poll
tics was by awalSing their passions.
This is not their country, so they are not
patriots. They are not educated, 50 no
appeal can be made 10 their Intelligence.
There was no possible means Of moving
them except through venality or by ex
citing their baser passions. They were
usually exhorted to prevent the whites
from re enslaving them, or to ward
of some indefinite evil which 70
their emotional natures was
a greater calamity than definite threat.
Swope and Goodloe struggled for the
leadership Of this class Of people. Such
struggle had the natural tendency OF
debasing the leaders the nselves. In
filing the breasts of the ignorant and
emotional blacks with hate and envy they
filed each other S breasts with meaner pas
sions. They contended for the mastery
of conventions, made up largely Of these
negroes Of whom they were making
political slaves, till they became frenzied
against each other Thus, the simple ex-
planation is that these two men played
with fire and were burned. They pros
tituted their talerts,. not for the benefit
Of the negro. not for his educa-
tion OF elevation but to gain
mastery over him through
bis passions that they might claim the
few Federal offices to be distributed in
Kentucky. They had mastered the negro
but they could not master each other
SO they threatened to kiln each other

Colonel Marshall Talks on the Difaculties
OF Navigating the Nispillion River.
81 have been down to Salisbury" said
Colonel George W. Marshall of the First
Regiment, as the Old Point express left
that town yesterday morning. II came
down to Laurel to attend the inspection
of Company |, tonight and DR.. Martin
got on the train at Seaford
and persuaded me to go on to
Salisbury. / have never visited the town
before, and was much surprised to see so
much business activity and evidences Of
commercial prosperity; also such fine
large stores. / had about two hours in
the town, enough to look about a little.
What surprised me was that the sur.
rounding country, which seems poor and
thinly settled, should support town of
such size, and bring to it the volume of
business it does. | am told, however,
that the towns business extends north
to Laurel and Seaford, to Berlin, Md, +,
down towards Cape Charles and down
along the Wicomico river. believe that
a large part of the towns prosperity is
due to its having navigable water
course to the town.
what is the depth Of water2" the
colonel asked.
The gentleman he spoke TO did not
know, but said that three-masted
schooners and the Chesapeake bay
steamer Enoch Pratt made regular trips
to the town.
"That," continued the colonel, lis
what Milford needs. We have a good
surrounding country to draw from,
railroad communication and many
natural natural advantages. creek
runs up to the town. but
it is navigable only to boats Of the light
est draft, on account Of the bar at tn,
mouth. We have shipyards, but If W,
built large vessels we could not get then
out Of the creek. Why, there is only
about 2i feet Of water on that bar, at low
tide. This shoal water extends nearly
three miles into the bay. Here, let mi
show you. And the colonel took news
paper'and quickly sketched map of tn,
mouth Of the Mispillion river, on IL
margin.
"a vessel coming in has to take thi
devious course. he explained, running
way down below Thorn Point to ge
around the shoal and following the chan
mel up close in shore to the mouth of tn
creek. II would be too expensive to Gu
a channel across that bar and shoal +
deep water, and would do no good. 70
the action Of the currents, and of north
erly winds, which strike the mouth 0
the creek obliquely, would fill it up again
What we want is a canal cut across frOr
a point a mile up the river, an
coming out the bay about mile north O
the river, where the shore curves to tn
westward. The canal would be about
mile in length and would cost less tina
the dredging required at the mouth {
the creek. To do the same good.

ELKToN, Md, Nov. 12.-W. R. Orffut,
young colored man who teaches a pub
lie school for colored children at St.
Augustine, in the second district of Ce-
Gil county, was fined $50 and costs, on
Saturday by Justice Christfield of Chesa

the white school at the same place while
in session. The white school, which is
No. of that district, if taught by
Miss johnson and is not far from the col

and, it is said, in an insolent manner
complained Of his pupils being disturbed
by the white children, and made threats.
This was repeated last week, and on ad

THE Philadelphia Press defends Presi-
dent Harrison for his hasty proclamation
admitting Montana on the ground that
he had no discretion whatever in the
matter." That will probably explain the
Presidents mistake in appointing Tan
ner, In making an alliance with Malone
and bis course in several other matters
he had no discretion. In the proclama-
tion for the admission Of Montana he
should have been at least courteous
enough to await the meeting Of his Cabi

FLORENCE HUNTLEY, whoever that
may represent, writing to the American
Economist on woman and the tariff
deprecates the average woman's lack Of
knowledge and proves her own in this
unique manner:
The average woman being told that
free trade means cheaper silks, gloves,
laces and other luxurious necessities
would declare herself free trader. But
when the average woman found that
when she could buy her silks and laces
aud frills for one-third less that she had
only half the money TO 90 1t with, she
would fop over to the tariff platform and
be thenceforward a vigorous Protec
ZIONIST.
That manner Of dealing with woman
and the tariff leaves many things to
be desired. She does not explain how a
tariff that is an average Of AZ per cent.
and frequently runs as high as 200 pei
cent would decrease the cost Of goods
one-third, If taken Of She does not ex.
plain how II the tariff were reduced
woman would have only one-half Of tn,
amount Of money to spend. This woman
is not the only tariff amateur who
thinks and writes emotional nonsense.
