TIE Philadelphia Times correspondent
in an account Of the exhumation Of Mrs
McKee's remains. says
Ugly rumors Of character to cause
suspicion Of foul play have been afoat in
this city and county ever since the burial
of Mrs. McKee's body.
That is not correct statement. II is
incorrect on material fact namely; that
of the prevalence Of 'ugly rumors" until
yesterday. So soon as the EVENING
JOURNAL Investigated and published the
various rumors, innuendoes and
vague suspicious and. exposed the slight
foundation of fact upon which they

THE general condemnation and the
universal complaints which have followed
the inefficient and incorrect work of the
Census Bureau have confirmed the I'M
favorable criticisms which we're uade
when tho appointment Of r. P. P, ter
was announced. Besides being a lately
imported Englishman, the objections to
Mr.. Porter were that he was an intensely
partisan editor, who had whooped up the
campaign for Harrison snd Pro-
tectionism" In the particularly offensive
manner of suddenly converted prose-
lyte; that he was not fitted by training
character or knowledge for such an inn
portant position. The event, the result
of an inaccurate and discredited emu
meration, has confirmed those objections
and confirmed also the suspicion that
like many other editors, r. p Porter
was rewarded with an Office for his SER
vices as a newspaper writer. The Rspub-
lcan press has been subsidized. II
writes for rewards.

FROM the FIRST the EVENING JOURNAL
commended that the New York Central
strike was made without sufficient cause
and could not succeed. No cause ought
to succeed which adopts the most ex-
IRENE measures before having exhausted
all other measures OF relief and redress.
As we have said our sympathy IS nat.
nrally with the weaker party, our sym.
patty is always with the masses rather
than with the classes, our sympathy is
always with the working man against
the monopolist, but that does not
mean that we can endorse fool
ishness or commend violence.
The remedy Of the workingman is at the
polls, not in organized and incorporate
spite. The strikers beat and almost
killed man who sought work; they
destroyed property and they lost tbs
sympathy Of the public. They have
right to demand that men shall know
the reasons for discharge, but they car
only enforce that right by legal methods
When they ATTEMPT to enforce it in de-
aiance Of the laws and of the rights OF
the people, the people. naturally, con.
denim them. That is just what the Fed.

whereupon he drew from his pocket q
large pocket knife and in the most waD-
ton manner plunged it at the witness
head. Ward lodged the cut and closed
with the Indian, both rolling Unto the

succeeded in wrenehing the weapon from

deep wound had been inflicted on his
leg.

THE opponents Of the pure lard bi
succeeded in preventing action in Con-
gress yesterday Thus the farming in
terest goes down again before the richer
and more potent interests Of the manu-
facturers This Is another. instance Of the
Republican party's invidious preference
for the classes rather than the masses
It is manifestly the interest Of the con-
sumers to know whether they are buy
ing lard or a cotton-seed imitation.
1t is manifestly the interest of the
greedy syndicate to sell cotton seed oil
for pure lard. II is manifestly the inter
est Of the Republican party to favor the
syndicate because the syndicate will,
and does subscribe to the campaign fund,
and the consumers and farmers do not.
Hence the pure lard bill has no beauty
and no friends; no favor with the party
which runs the machine in the interest
Of the rich classes against the poor
masses

The ticket which heads this column is
thoroughly Democratic and the nomina.

Kent county, for governor, while the
support Of John w. Causey, Of Sussex

heartiest. The nominees for sheriff and

The recently nominated Democratic

the political chain that bind the Demo
cratic party in this state. Both nominees
are tillers of the soil and know well tbe

This fact alone should give them a large
