y WvsHINGToN dispatch says The
lOoting legislation which is contem-
plated is something TO astonish the
stoutest imagination. Nothing like IL
has been known 70 the history OF the
country. II can not be denounced too
strongly nor exposed too frequently.
Mr.. Wilson's speech on the Jackson
Smith contested election case was a
masterpiece of sarcasm and it furnishes
food for very serious reflection. Mr..
Wilson predicted what may happen uL-
der the curious and unprecedented no
tiOns OF Mr.. Reed concerning the nature
of what he calls General parliamenta-
~ law Here is a partial list of meas
ures already introduced OF spoken OF {:

claims (MehaY's) was allowed by Con-
gress, and the bill was vetoed by Xr.
Cleveland. The Republicans will allow

amount involved II will reach mills

The building of the United States

y service pension bill will BE- passed,
which will call for an expenditure of
$500, ,OOO,O 900. 1t is speaking within
bounds TO say that the thirteen regular
pension bills will aggregate not less
than 500 600, 600 more shan those of
the last season.
This is what is meant by attempts
to loot the Treasury" This is the kind
of business which Mr.. Reed proposes TO
facilitate by his arbitrary rulings.

the extent of the gsTTymandsr of Re-

a system that has denied honest repre-

mysteries of politics OF which voters
generally know little, and each locality
had little understanding of the griev-

For example. few New Workers Com

and even among Democrats there was
a disposition TO regard The rectiicatiOn

The demand OF the Republican Machine

The grip has been traced by the Lon.
don Times with reasonable certainty TO
eastern Asia and the floods, followed by
famine aid malaria, which occurred in
the Hoang-HO or Yellow River of
China two years ago. Similar out
breaks OF Influenza have originated in
the same region from the same cause.
or at least the disease has spread west
through Siberia jest after ovsIflaws of
Chinese rivers which produced famine
ard fevers. The great streams OF the
Celestial Empire support a teeming
population, and when the mud deposits
destroy the rice crops and breed malaria
the people die by hundreds OF thousands
and epidemic makes las career Of cen
quest westward just as the ancient
Scyi hians did. Until China and other
Oriental countries receive our science
and put it in practice modern notions
of sanitation there is no preventive
means that can stay the progress Of the
red, black and other deaths that issue
from that cradle OF destruction. All
that can be done is 10 lessen the evil
by proper treatment and quarantine
closely against the desdlier psstiiences.

House represents the vote which elected
Harrison when Cleveland had a plurali-
" OF over ninety thousand votes. He
is running the House with votes show

The Democratic Legislature of Ohio
las an important piece OF work before
IL, and that is 10 rescue the State from
the effects OF the Republican gerry
Wandering of Congressional districts.
Iu 1883 the Democrats poiIed 400 Uer
cent, OF the vote of the State and the
Republicans 49.41 per cent, yet the
Democrats elected but five out OF the
y COngressnen. IL then required TO-
25l Democratic votes to elect a Congress
man. while the Republicans needed but
26,OO3 votes 10 do the same thing. The
same evil exists in a greater degree in
New York State ana il either state
had been fairly represented in Congress

Of his own will and with an utter DIS

NOT GIVING ENOUGH.
Report on Systematic Beneficence Of
the Presbyterian Churchea

The synod Of Baltimore was in session Of
Wilmington again yesterday. The following
assessments were made for synodal expenses:
Presbytery Of Baltimore, ESQ; of New Castle,
go. and Of Washington city, ESQ; total. &2OO.
The Rev. Samuel McLanahan Of Baltimore,
chairman Of the standing committee on sys-
tematic benefcence. made long and exhaus-
tive report In tho synod there are thirty-one
churches which rent pews, forty-one do not,
their expenses being paid by subscription;
forty churches do not secure enough by ordi-
nary methods to meet their current expenses.
In the judgment of those in position to know,
thirty five churches are not giving what thoy
could or ought to do for their own support.
The report Of the synod's committee on pub
LEGATION, Sabbath school and missionary work
shows an increase of seven Sunday schools for
the year ending April l, four Of these being in
New Castle presbytery. There is an increase of
l, go of scholars enrolled, but there has been
atdecrease in the average attendance of those
enrolled.
The afternoon session was mainly devoted to
the case of the Rev. ia. Campbell, a former pas
tor OF the Snow Hill Church. The judicial COM
mittee reported in favor of reopenIng the case
The report was adopted after much discussion
Rev. ]. A. Campbell was charged with securing
a divorce from his wife through means which
were alleged to be questionable and marrying
a second wife.
All the members of the synod attended re-
ception at West Presbyterian church last even
ing. The pastor of the Church is the newly
elected moderator Of the synod of Baltimore,
the Rev. AlbertN. keigwin. Following the re-
ception supper was served to the members in
the basement of the church.
