SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. s / 90 4 YEAR.
Thursday Afternoon. April Cd. 1881

YESTERDAY being the first OF Apr
sugar came in free Of duty and dropped
from seven and one-half cents to i've
cents pound. The tariff duty was,
prior to April first, two and one-nall
cents pound. There was no other
cause which would account for tne
decrease in price at this time and the
decline must be attributed to the
tariff. It is constantly asserted BY the
high tariff organs that a tax does not
increase the cost Of an article to the
consumer.
1t was the common cry of RepuDll-
can orators that the tariff would pro-
tect the manufacturer against the pro-
ducts Of the pauper labor of Europe.
but that the prices to consumers would
not be increased. The decline In the
price of sugar does not seem TO bear
out the protectionists in their claims

trouble Over the Conference
Appointments


letter from Dover to the Morning
News says: There is trouble among the
Methodist churches of this county, the re
suit Of the work Of the Wilmington M. e
conference held at Centreville. When the
appointments were made the Rev. F. F.
Carpenter was named as minister of tht
North Governors avenue chapel in this
town. This chapel belonged to the head
nj. +. Church here, of which the Rev. T.
Z. Terry was minister, and he preached in
the chapel. The chapel is looked upon as
personal property, as it has been built by
the congregation and had never been turn
ed over to the conference. There were
threats made that the doors of the church
would not be opened to Mr.. Carpenter,
who had also been assigned to the st.
Jones Church. The North Governors
avenue church and the st. Jones Church
were put together and called Dover circuit.
The st. Jones Church had been taken
from Camden circuit, the Rev. P. H.
Rawlins having been the minister.
Sunday the trustees Of the North Gov.
srnor's avenue chapel closed the doors, and
she sexton, by their orders, kept them
ocked. Mr.. Carpenter waited at the
home Of the Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, presid.
ng elder, which is opposite the chapel,
Until noon and then went to his own home.
The same tactics were pursued it is said, at
he st. Jones Church.

The Republican managers are now
engaged in the laudable undertaking
OF converting all the people OF this
county to their way Of voting by the
liberal use Of public funds for pension
purposes. Last yeal it took S1S5, ,OCO,-
600 to pay the bill and it constantly in
creases. The war ended more than
twenty-five years since, but it is now
easier to find man who is receiving a
pension than it was twenty years ago.
In every neighborhood you will find
houses and lands purchased with
pension money. The pensioner has
accumulated property while the men
who are taxed to keep him are getting
poor.
That the government shonld pension
those gallant soldiers who were dis
abled is all right, but it goes on TO the
children and other able-bodied men
and women who have no just claims
upon their fellow countrymen. The
Republican party is responsible for
this condition Of affairs. They have
thrown away public money whenever
it could be done with any degree Of
safety to themselves, and have never
considered the condition of the tax
payers. This pension business will
bring the pensioners into disrepute as
certainly as it continues to be abused.
The time will soon come when even an
honest claim win be ignored. It has
been oyerdone without regard to
Justice or to the rights Of the people. |
Congress should provide some means |
whereby an abuse of the pension |
system could be prevented. AS it
goes now it not only works injustice to
he people at large, but to the desery-
ng pensioners as well.

Death OF Or. Howard Crosbv

The Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby, pastol
of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian
Church Of New York City, died Sun
day evening shortly before 6 o'clock.
His end was peaceful. The deceased
came of old revolutionary stock. He
graduated from the New Nork Uni.
yersity in 1874. Shortly afterward he
was elected to the chair Of professor Of
Greek in that institution. His first
pastorate was the First Presbyterian
Church in New Brunswick, N. r..
which he retained until 1868, when he
was called to the Fourth Avenue Pres
byterian Church, New York. In later
years, however, he incurred the an
tagonism of many church people BY
his recognition of the impossibility OF
doing away entirely with the saloon
and fayoring as much restraint upon
its operations as could be secured BY a
stringent license law.

garians employed at the coke ovens at
Uniontown, Pa. The proprietors OF
the establishments where these half
civilized creatures are employed have
always talked great deal about the
protection afforded the American
workingman by the tariff regulations,
but they have never yet explained why
it is that, while they are so very solicit
GUS for the welfare of the American
workingman, they have used the pro-
lection for their own benefit and en-
ployed foreigners of a dangerous class
to supplant the American bread-win-
ner.
The constant use of the assertion
that high tariff causes high wages
has not only proven false in the past.
but even under the operations of the
Mckinley law wages are being reduc-
ed in many of the industries benefited
by the great increase In tariff charges.

THE NEWS from Dover seems to
indicate that there is possibly chance
to charter and build a competing line
down the Peninsula. Any member Of
the Legislature who would not vote
for a bona-fide charter for road to be
built by responsible parties should
consider well the fact that he was sent
to Dover to protect the interests Of the
people. There is now a chance to
give to the people competing line
and the benefits arising therefrom. If
this.can only be done by foreclosing the
mortgages then let the State officers
receive the Necessary instructions.
There is doubt in the minds of MANY
people as to the advisability of refus-
ing the terms offered by the p. w. &
B. Railroad Company. Many persons
consider it poor policy to allow the
company to favor itself by changing
the rate Of interest from four per
cent to three. Another consequence
OF this movement would be to secure
the loan OF q New York Trust Com
pany BY a first mortgage while the
State would have guarantee from an
uncertain source which would prob
ably be found worthless in the end.
With the D. M. s. v. road belong
ing to the B. & 0. or some other line
the value Of the land along the line
would quickly increase in value, the
revenue derived from taxation would
De greater, in fact everything points
TO beneficial results. The Legislature
should 60 carefully at this business.
