THE apparent backing that the govern
ment has given the London Times in its
crusade against Parnell lends a peculiar
interest to The defeat. 1t is defeat not
only Of the Times but Of the government.
The government has used influence and
vast sums of money to implicate Parnell
in murder. In winning the last election,
the party in power, played on
the prejudice of the people
by claiming that Gladstone and the
Home Rule party were dsunionists.
The plea was as false as it was craven
but it served its purpose The Salisbury
government came into power on lie
and has continued in power on a fraud
The Irish people have grievance which
parnell and Gladstone are trying
to correct. To prove Mr..
Gladstone disunionist and
to brand Parnell as an assassin were the
purposes Of the government. The ques-
tion was not argued on its merits. 1t was
argued like one political party OF the
United States argued its case in the late
election. The whole power Of the gov.
eminent was used to convict Parnell.
The case constructed against him by
forgers, liars and assassins
was marvelously complete. But 1t
was not true. 1t has broken
down. Parnell and Gladstone and the
Home Rulers are in triumph and England
will be compelled to give attention TO the
Irish question on its merits. And so
ends a stupeudous fraud.

Upon the return of Hon. Thomas +.
Bayard from the National Capital the

see to il that he receives welcome
second to none ever given, to any man,
either in public or private
life, by the Diamond State
This is due to Mr. Bayard as mark Of
respect and as an evidence of the appre-
citation Of the Democratic party Of the
sacrifices he has made; and it is due to
the party itself that this should be done
as the first step ia the direction of a
united and harmonious Democracy.
Let the Young Mems Democratic Club,
the Bayard Legion and the L. L. Martin
Democratic Club select joint committee
to arrange the details for a
grand Democratic demonstration to
one who has been tried and not found
wanting; who stands first in the hearts
Of Delawareans; who has won and holds
the esteem and confidence Of the party.
These three clubs are composed Of the
bone and sinew Of the Democratic party /;
Of men In the vigor Of early manhood; Of
workers; and the work done under their
auspices would be done in no half
hearted manner. The people are
eager for movement Of this kind, and

A TROUBLED TERRITORY.

Down in Arizona they need straight
ening out" iudicially, SO to speak, and they
will have to get that before long or there
will come governmental collapse. Owing
to some popularity of the law, or some
irregularity in its interpretatio n-we have
not yet been able to ascertain which-there
are two sets of territorial officials and the
result is that matters are in about as de-
plorable condition as they would be if there
were no officers. Both sets are trying to
perform the duties of the offices, and the
necessary conflict results in nothing being
done well, or in way to make the action
solid with the people. For six months no
money has been paid out of the treasury
to territorial officials or employees, some
of whom are said to be on the verge of
starvation. The prisons and insane
asylum are supplied by contractors who
can get no money for their goods, and are
consequently threatened with bankruptcy
Guards and employees at these institutions
are living on trust and some of them have
reached the limit of their credit. Terri
torial warrants are without value, owing
to the conflict of authority between those
who issue them. The people are divided
in their support of the dual governments,
and even the federal officials have taken
sides. How long this unhappy condition
of things viii continue cannot be told, as
the contestants show no sign of weakening.

the flood.

THE TINE for commencing the registra
ton for the municipal election is fast ap-
preaching. 1t will soon be here. The
managers of the Peoples party should be
ready when it does come. The Liberals are
neglecting nothing. They are losing no
points through failure to work. Steps are
being taken to see that every man who is dis
posed to train with the Liberals, and every
man who can be prevailed upon to vote the
party's ticket will be registered, and to
also see when election day arrives that
he is early at the polls. The fore
sight of the Liberal managers is
manifesting itself just now in the naturali-
zaticn of aliens Wherever a Liberal for
eigner can be found who has been long
enough in the country, or who is willing to
swear that he has been here the required
length of time, he is taken through the
naturalization mill and the fees are paid
out of the Liberal fund 1t is also under

COMEDY AND INFIDELITY.

1t is d singular thing that people whose
occupation inclines them to the sunny side
of life are either intidels or gravitating to-
ward infidelity at a rapid rate in about nine
cases out of ten. AS soon as a man be-
comes recognized humorist OF standard
comedian, the ties Of his calling seem to
bind him so fast that he no longer looks
upon anything as reverently as he might,
and things which are sacred share the COM
mon fate of those that are not. In other
words, those whose occupation in life is
systematic levity, sooner or later grow out
of any natural reverence they may have
had and speedily become disbelievers or in
fidels.
The instances in point are too numerous
for repetition. Such humorists as AR
TEMUs WARD, MARK TWAIN, PETRo-
LEUM Y. Massey and BILL NYE
represent the different shades of humorous
literary ability in this country, and each
also a certain type of infdelity, if not athe-
ism. The last named writer is not only an
unbeliever, but scoffer; he more than all
others cannot be content to create fun and
frolic out of legitimate subjects, but goes
into religion and drags forth its most
sacred tenets to spit upon and deile. As
it is with him in literature, so it is with
DENAIAN THOMPSON, STUART ROBSON and
other giants of comedy upon the stage, and
they only represent many more, the great
preponderance we might say, of those in
their calling.
1t seems almost pity that men cannot
minister to the pleasures and contribute to
the pastimes of their fellow men without
gong into the face of Christianity and all
that is sacred; but so it seems to be; and
it does not appear that another generation
or any other would be likely to mend mat
tiers in the least.

wedding postponed or given up. The prince
now announces that he thinks he can make the
old man come to time so that the marriage VIII
be fixed for this month, but Miss HUNTINGTON
is so uncertain that she does not dare to buy her
bridal gown. In order TO occupy her restless
mind she goes shopping for jewelry and silver
ware which will not go out of style in case Of any
prolonged delay.
The same authority thinks that the spec
tacle of an American girl thus put up for
sale without any eQuivocation or disguise is
one that affords much thought, and THE
HERALD is disposed to concur. The trans
action makes every independent citizen
blush with shame. And while the man
who is willing to offer fortune in eX-
change for title for his daughter is most
contemplate in the eyes of every true
American, the free-born girl who is anxious
to be thus sold is even more TO be con-
demned because it is at her desire that all
the disgraceful bargaining is carried on.
Perhaps it would be just as well for Miss
HUNTINGTON to mind the old saw "Change
of the name and not the letter, change for
the worse and not the BETTER" before she
becomes the Princess HATzFELDT.
Since there is no law against this kind Of
marketing the presumption is that it will
be kept up as long as there are ninny-
hammers without brains or money on the
other side and girls also without brains
but with plenty of money on this side of
the Atlantic. The latter are in a similar
position to the Circassian slaves which are
annually purchased to replenish the harems
of the Sultan of Turkey, except that there
are no polygamous features connected with
it, the ''lord" or whatever he may be
called pursuing as a rule less systematic
course of promiscuous sexual indulgence
than the head of the Ottoman empire.

SOME OF the Washington newspapers are
criticising certain doctors of that city re
garding the case of a man who died the
other day from the effects of pistol shot
wound in the neck, inflicted four months
ago. All this time the body was completely
paralyzed After death the body was cut
up, when it was discovered that the dag
nosis OF the attending physicians was en-
tirely wrong, Doctors should not be found
fault with on account of matter of this
kind. It's yet wildly remembered chow
the surgeons located the GUITTEAU bullet
in the southeast part OF President GAR
FIELDS body, and having settled the matter
to their own satisfaction, kept cutting and
punching holes into the poor mans body,
and then 'doctoring' the wounds they had
made. The post mortem examination dis
covered the bullet in the southwest sec
ton, the surgeons being almost as far
astray in their diagnosis as they would
have been had they located the leaden pei
let in the person of the Presidents private
secretary. Newspapers should think of
these things before they criticise.

committee will pay the expenses, and for
the lost time, of all members of the party
who can claim residence in this city, to
come here and register and afterwards to
vote It is also said, with how mnch truth
we cannot assert, that the cunning of the
Liberals is going to the length of trying to
induce members of the Peoples party to
accept employment at distant points, where
they will be too far away to return for
registration.
These are all pointers for the Peoples
party, aud should stimulate to careful and
intelligent work They show how des-
perate and how determined the Liberals
are, and also furnish proof that the Lib
erals are by no means honest in their per
sistent assertion of having a majority of
adherents. Their claim is a bluff which
they are endeavoring to make good by
earnest and clever work THE HERALD
maintains that the People have the most
qualified voters in this city, and we are
confident that if the same degree of effort is
put forth by them that the Liberals employ
the latter will be showed under, the contest
being fair and square, as it must be on this
occasion
