c. d. Rawson and wife left here
Monday morning for Worcester,
Mass, where they will visit with rel
atives few days before returning to
their home in Providence, r. /.
Mrs. Rawson was, unfortunately,
quite sick for several days while here
at her fathers which made it neces-
sary that she should omit visiting with
and calling upon many old friends
and some relatives, which she very
much regretted. 1t had been years
since Mr. and Mrs. Rawson visited
with us, but we hope they will not be
SO delinquent in the future. Old
Father Time and the Reaper Death
have wrought many changes in the
place and people in that time.

States Attorney Cudworth has
nearly completed his improvements
on his residence on Church ST., max
ing it thereby much more slightly,
convenient and valuable. The house
and woodshed with the barn attached
have been raised about two feet, new
ly walled and underpinned. This has
gwen room for filling the cellar, which
heretofore was a wet one, to the
depth of more than foot with cob
bles rendering it dry and pleasant.
1t also gives fine barn cellar that is
nicely walled. Taken all together
Mr.. Cudworth is making him a pleas
ant and desirable home, that he and
his pleasant family are calculating tc
appreciate and enjoy.

Ia may be that the Morning News is
making voters for the Republican party
by its coarse inventions of wild and
senseless charges and then withdrawing
them the next day. but It is rot making
any inrosds into the impartial and intel
ligent class Of white voters. The charge
that Robert J Reynolds was the cause q
a loss Of 81, 100 to the state treasury has
been so effectually and conclusively
denied by G. F. Thomas, Repub-
lican merchant who had the contract
for furnishing the bonds, a mistake in
the date Of which the careful treasurer
discovered, that nothing more need be
said. But the manner In which the story
has been trumped up is not a credit to
wv H. a the correspondent who did
the reprehensible work, It exhibits a
bad conception Of political fealty BY re-
quiring him to descend from the province
Of news writer TO the low plane Of par.
tisan trickery. The letter misrepresen.ed
the facts Of the connection of Robert
Reynolds with a lithographer's error IN
printing the wrong date and thus vitiat-
ing the bords, 1t was written with the
inten tion of misrepresenting those facts.
the News can gain little credit by such
an apparent and disreputable misuse Of
facts. The writer who takes the con
tract TO do such jobs gains less. The
spectacle, however, OF the News and OF
"W; II Il " having suddenly turned
them selves 70 the disreputable work
which should be delegated only to Bach,
to Nields. and 10 the Daily Jersey is .
warming to Democrats that unfalrness
stiffness, pettipess and partisan injus-
tice are the ruling motves Of the Repub
lean campaign, In fact, they com pos.
RepuSlicanism, and furnish warning oi
what Democrats may expect.

The facts are these: In 1881 the Legis
lature authorized the Iefunding of sad
bonds at the rate of per centum per
annum. The law provides for the prepa
ration OF said per cent. bonds and the
negotiation Of the same upon notice.
prescribed by the act of assembly. After
the sale OF said bonds and the receipt Of
the moneys therefor, the act
authorized the appropriation Of
the same to the redemption and
payment of the outstanding bonds
The law contemplated as preliminary
TO the redemption OF said outstanding
bonds, the giving of at least one months
notice thel cot publishing this date of the
redemption and payment of the same In
certain daily newspapers of Philadelphia
and Wilmington, and also weekly papers
OF Kent and sussex counties TO have
waited for the receipt OF the moneys
arising from the sale of said
new bonds, before advertising for
the redemption and payment Of
the old bonds, would have entailed
upon the state loss of at least 81. 700
because the state would have been pay
ing double interest during the time the
notice for redemption of the old bonds
was running. Bat Mr.. Reynolds by a
shrewd business move advertised in ad-
vance for the old bonds on the very day
he sold the new ones aud thereby saved the
state at least forty days iaterest on the
old bonds which would have amounted TO
"a, 200 And he would have accomplished
this In full had not the photographer who
printed the bonds made the mistake ia
the date, putting 1880 instead Of 1881,
contrary to the copy. This mistake on
the part Of the photographer nesessitated
the making of q call loan from the Phila.
delphia bank by Mr. Reynolds, and the
interest on the call loan amounted To
l,lO0 and this reduced the amount
saved the state by Mr. Reynolds 70

are well known to George v. Massey and

AN OLD LIBEL.

The Philadelphia Inquirer. is the
channel and Senator Hig tins is the
latest source for that old libel that the
Republican party outnu' Abers the Demo-
cratic party In DelRwa' o.
That libel on Delaw are and many other
Democratic states + as been very useful
to the Republican, They raise campaign
funds on it and t.eep the negroes in line
by it. Hence it is very necessary for
them to mainssin that they outnumber
the Democrats even If they stultify
themselves by the claim
No party CT honest. brave
aud independent white people, much
less OF Anglo-Saxon people, would
ackno Wedge that they were awed into
submission by an inferior number OF
people Such an admission is an admis-
sion of personal cowardice and political
pusillanlmity. The Republicans were
in power here once, rs in many other
states. Have they lost power while still
having majority of men capable of ex
ercising the privilege Of manhood suf-
frage9
The first qualification Of a voter
Is that he shall have the intel.
ligence, the spirit and the love
Of freedom to cast q ballot. This
is q land Of the brave and the free This
government was not started by and could
not be maintained for towards and fools
The Republicans may take either horn
OF the dilemma; that they have not the
majority they claim, or that they have
set Of men who IRE not ft to vote because
Of cowsrdice and Ignorance. The In
quirer says:
Senator Higgins OF Delaware comes to
town very feldom He was here last
night. he doesn't care to tell how he
really made the Blue Chicken state Re-
publican. "The vote Is there, he says,
sand il we can bring it out we can win. +"
Senator Higgins is not likely to mani
fest much pride in telling publicly how
he collected that last 81 600 which Bour.
deaux Knowles took to Sussex to convert
INDECENT aud venal voters TO Republican
principles but he would tell how 1t was
done ''on the quiet" with many Qnayish
chuckle, no doubt. 1t is likely. however,
that he would p efer to have it ssciibed
to his magnetic mann ers. spell binder
eloquerce and all-pervading popularity.
II Senator Higgins knows of any nsgro
whose vote, money win not "bring
out" he should give his name
and address 70 the committee at the
Askew Building, so that the reluctant
patriot who is dissatisfied with the
terms already offered may receive
higher bid for his services to freedom,
and to the tin plate party.
Meantime II the Inquirer would attend
more strictly to making apologies to Mr.
Pattison, the Democratic candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania, for its SANDERS
It would have less time to write foolish

TRYING to comment on the report Of
the trustees of the almshouse properly
the Morning News says:
But they do not say what was dcne
with the money for which the bonds
were issued, or the debt created, In the
first instance.
The report shows that $4,000 was
used to pay county bonds which had
matured The financial writer on the
News is genius who does not seem to
comprehend that bond, is like private
note, to be paid at maturity. The fact
of it's existence Is evidence Of a just
debt which needs no further inquiry
unless fraud in issuance is alleged. The
$54. 600 derived from the hypothecation
Of the bonds was expended by the Build
ing Committee, for which the account
has been rendered, filed and approved
for years, and for which we have hand
some and commodious public buildings
