THE Wilmington papers have been
slandering and villifying this town for a
month past and we have hesitated to say
ANYTHING in reply, believing that the PEG
nile generally knew that many of the as
sertions were without foundation, and lies
in fact. concocted by some irresponsible
newspaper reporter. But when the E7eR-
iuq Journal speaks as follows we con
slider it time to brand the accusations as
false and malicious
"Nfr. Richards has introduced a bill,
and it is a peculiar one. Milford IS known
ali over the Peninsula as the fastest town
south of Wilmington. 1t has more poker
dens and prostitutes, in proportion to pop
n, .,i shan Wilmington has. The
Town Council has found it necessary
from time to time to pass special ordi-
nauces to keep down gambling dens,
and prevent street walking.
MI. Richards bill is blow at this I'M
morality. The town abounds in negro
PROGRESSES. 1t is said that these negroes
have led many young girls a1stray. Inc
bill in question makes such tnlnS
misdemeanor, punishable with heaVy
fine and Imprisonment
AS TO poker dens," there is not even
one room anywhere in the town fitted up
as poker room. It is true that poker
nIaviug is INDUCED in to a considerable
degree, but it is in private rooms and
Offices that once in while few friends
;oiu in a friendly bout at the fascinating
game; but not to any greater degree than
do other towns Of equal size. The Eaen-
iae ZoN,Malshould look to its own poker
dens." and we will attend TO the suppress
sion Of same here. We know Of a -four
fishing poker den that is now in operation
barely stones throw from the Journal
Office.
AS to prostitutes, the assertion Of the
Journal above is a plain, simple, a1sa'-
nishea lie. tits true that Milford con-
ta;ps 6ss0 prostitutes, probably dozen,
but no more, and this dozen are going to
be attended to aud prosecuted by the Law

COMMENTING upon Mr.. Mckinley ana
his Rochester speech The Post Express
of that city, an honestly independent
paper, said in its issue of March 40;
There is no doubt whatever that Mr..
Mckinley, as the champion OF the Re
publican doctrine of Protection, satisfied
his party friends completely. Among the
MANY prominent Republicans who lis
tened to him, the prevailing feeling OF
confidence as he began deePened into
enthusiasm as he went on; and when he
closed they were clearly proud OF him.
He glided into his subject with
oratorical cunning; he kept the attention
of his audience; he made many telling
points and yet he seldom stepped be
yond an easy and conversational but I'M
Dressive tone into anything like passion
ate defamation. The audience could
hardly fail to regard him as man OF cul-
ture, ability and honest conviction, ana
those who came in contact with him
afterwards more closely, found that the
charm grew on them. In a word, It is
idle to regard him as anything less than
the very finest type of party leader.

The man who sold his soul to the devil,
the innocent maiden whom he wins and

meets with them in the literature n art
of every land. But they sank deeply into

of tho thinker. with which the walls were

The Outlook More Favorable Peculiar
Action of Speculative Markets.
New York, May 16.-ln every respect the
large exports of gold. 1t is a most favor
able symptom that the continued exports of
gold cause no panic in this market. The
street counts largely upon heavy exports of
products in the near future. reckoning that
Europe is short Of breadstufs and ready to
buy cotton indefinitely at present low
prices. 1t is a significant fact that the ex-
ports in April were abou double last ysar's
in value az to cotton, and showed an in
crease in oil and provisions. but a decrease.
in cattle and in breadstufs. Yet in bread
stuffs the decrease was wholly in corn. and
the surplus of wheat available for export
was, May l, about 39,000,0 600 bushels. The
exports of wheat from Atlantic ports have
last week, when an increase of 10 per cent
appears. In corn the decrease is heavy, of
course.
The speculative markets nave acted pecu-
larry during the past week, wheat advanc-
ing foul cents per bushel OF reports not
s~ubstantiated OF injury to the crop in the
northwest, while corn has declined three
cents and oats two and one-half cents on
moderate sales. Pork, lard and hogs are
also lower, and a heavy decline appears in
butter. Cotton, coffee and oil are I'M
changed, and this ia the more remarkable
as to cotton, because much the largest crop
ever produced is going to market more rap
idly than ever before at this season. The
foreign manufacturers appear to be laying
in a large stock, because prices are close to
the lowest known for forty years. while the
consumption abroad is enormous, and there
are some signs that the production of goods
exceeds the demand.
The iron furnaces in blast May l were of
about 1900 tons greater weekly capacity
than April /, 1850 tons against 1l3,4S3 a
month ago, and 1S0,O99 aTyear ago. But the
trade is less depressed, and the long delay
IN settlement of the coke strike tends to
strengthen prices. In general, Industries
are fairly active. except where interrupted
by strikes in the building trades, az at
New York. The financial prospect just now
turns largely upon the export Of gold, of
which $780, 600 have gone out this week
already from the assay office, and ship
ments to-day are expected to raise the an-
gregate to S6,000,0 600 or moro. Merchan-
disc exports are for the time comparatively
small, So, 10000 in two weeks from New
York, against $l5. G39, 900 last year, while
imports continue remarkably large.
