THE Republicans of the city of VIII
minqton are of the right kind. They are
made of the right material and believe
that what is worth doing at all is worth
doing well. With everything against
them. all odds in favor Of their opponents,
by hard labor and fine leadership and
planning, they succeeded on Saturday
last in carrying everything before them
at the polls. Tie battle was hard fought
one and all honor to the victors. The
gentlemen elected to the different resPon-
sible positions are made of the proper
metal and will conddct the affairs Of the
CITY in an honest and creditable manner.
The residents of our only city are to be
congratulated upon the result. A clean
administration, honestly and economi-
callv administered, is assured, and the
partv that rules the affairs of city or
State in this manner is the party to be
trusted and the party to receive the sup
port of all honest men, be they Of what
ever party.
All honor to Senator Higgins as much
as we may dislike him, duty and sense
of honor compels us all to give him the
credit OF this grand victory of the Repub-
bcans of the city of Wilmington.
TIE South Milford Public Schools are
closed for the summer. On Friday even
ing last a class of nine was graduated
and the commencement exercises held.
The interest manifested by the people Of
this town was at least surprising. An
hour before the time for the commence
meut exercises the school hall was
packed with those interested in this
school and in the cause of education gen
orally. The papers read were creditable
indeed ; so very much so, that the CHRoN-
1cLE publishes them in full in this edi-
ton. The graduating class were aged
from fifteen to seventeen years aud by
their own 1abors and thorough and wise
instruction Of their teachers, have OBJ
tanned an extra common school educa-
ton. The South Milford Public Schools
are said to be tie fnest'in the State with
out any exception and the commence
ment exercises Of the past two years have
caused our people to accept the claim as
true.
Mr. Bishop, the principal, is the right
man for the position, but it is OF Miss

it is only necessary to give this sterling

The powerful new play, Margaret
Fleming" which is causing so much
discussion in Boston at present, has
called attention anew to the unequal
standard Of morals for men and wOm-
en-. One principal fault found with
the play has been that Margaret re-
fuses to 60 back to her husband after
his inidelity. We are told that "either
to the believing Christian or to the
enlightened Pagan, Margaret shows
herself hard, bitter and unforgiving
woman" that she is "a monster of
morality" ETC., etc. Let any one i'm
agine the case reversed. Suppose
woman who had led dissolute life
should marry, leaving her husband in
ignorance of her past (for it is not to
be supposed that woman like Mar
garet would have had him if she had
known it); suppose she were after
wards unfaithful TO him, and led dou-
BILE life with much gaiety and compla-
cency until she was in danger Of being
found out and then, after the discov-
cry, drowned her remorse i'll course
OF hard drinking, resulting in delrium
tremens, and finally came back much
humbled and begged forgiveness.
Would any one blame the husband if,
while forgiving her aud consentng to
be friends with her, he declined to live
with her again. The much-crircisel
last scene of Margaret Fleming" is
only reproduction, in homelier phrase
| and with the parts reversed, OF the clos
ing scene between Arthur and Gum
evere. in Teunyson's celebrated idyl.
The king tells Guinevere that he loves
her still. but that he can never live
with her again. No one dcuounccs
him tor casting off so lightly his
matrimonial obligations" or sets him
down as "a monster OF morality" On
the contrary, King Arthur's conduct
is regarded a most magnanimous, aud
there has been general acquiesccncc

Rev. Heber Newton saws :

Rev. Heber Newton says:
Nv oman as citizen will compel
the State to a hi cher function than that
Of merely policing property. She will
police manhood and womanhood. She
will make rulers what Plato dreamed
OF their being guardians of soci-
ety. The preservation of morals will
be as much to the State as the protec-
ton of vested rights now is. Woman's
voice will be lifted resolutely against
that browning barbarism Of civilization
war. She who suffers most from its
horrors; whose whole nature revol.s
against such crime; whose very
physical feebleness indisposes her to
the brutal arbitration of the sword ,
will use her new-found power to end
this wickedness and folly under which
Europe groans to-day. Woman will
carry her religious nature into the
State, not to establish State religion
the last new religio-political fad
but to keep alive within the body of
its laws and institutions the spirit of
essential religion, which will make the
State the conscience of the people.
Man has fashioned the true form of
the State in our own free, self-govern-
ing democracy. Let woman breathe
within it the true spirit. and we shall
see city of God coming down out of
heaven upon EARTH"
