day and there was no future business at
the Cotton Exchange, there was very
large curbstone business and the result
will undoubtedly be heavy purchases.

encouragement and support; and that
should come to him voluntarily, and
should be honestly and generously
given. He cannot claim exemption from
just criticism when he errs; but when
tightinga good fight against whatever
adversary, the public opinion Of the
country should speak loudly on his side,
and he should be made to feel that he
has the people at his back. Thus the
promise of this hopeful situation can be
fulfilled, and Mr.. Cleveland's second
Presidency may give the country one Of
the most beneiicent and fruitful admin

To aid in our humble capacity in this
work of holding up the hands of the
President.elect, in the matter of filling
local appointments with better men, is
the wish of The GAZETTE. Our
readers know how vicious and degrad-
ing the system has been in Delaware
under the distribution of Federal patron
age by Senator Higgins. Scarcely could
employment in any capacity under the
government be obtained by q Della
wareun without his sujection to a cate
chetical inquiry on, not "what
can You do but "what have
you done for the party" This has been
carried TO an extent that has disguised
the Republicans almost as much as it
has the Democrats and Mr.. Higgins has
come out Of four years of this office
peddling for favors received or expected
with more of reproach than has ever
before been dreamed possible of attach
ment to a senator from Delaware. 1t is
useless to specify, "the woods is fun
Of the tools and time-scrvers that
have been awarded q share Of
the governmental patronage, not be-
cause of merit and fitness, but TO build
up the machine that was to solilify and
perpetuate the grip Of Mr.. Higgins upon
| the State Of Delaware. And now, at the
first chance, an offended people have
kicked the whole bottom out Of this
machine and have declared that it is
their wish that appointments shall be
made for merit and not as purely, or
primarily,a reward for party service.

main question shall be-what qualitica.

In a letter to an American friend, one
of the best-known younger members of

manufacturer: free trader, and son
of one of the original four members of
the Corn Law League--w writes, under
date of November 18th: 81 must say
how delighted am at the Democratic
success, and congratulate you on it. l
suppose its completeness is almost as
unexpected by you as by us. = Y

We are aware that the congratulatory
tenor of this extract will CRATE very

tectlonists whose ideal is to see the
United States become and continue an
lshmaelite among nations, and who re-
gard the accomplishment of any modii-
cation of our governmental policy that
tends to elicit a word of kindly appre-
citation from the other side as something
akin to high treason to American insti-
buttons. But the recent election has
shown that the bark of these good
people is considerably worse than their
bite, and that the American nation is
really no more afraid of the praise of
intelligent Englishmen than Of their
censurc. Such man is the writer Of
this letter. He is one Of the English
men who is as fully informed of Ameri-
can markets and American conditions
as any one not an American himself; q
man who has gone all over this country
more than once, studying it with an in.
terested eye as market for his own
productions, but who has found that il
takes more than mere cheap Eng.
lish labor to successfully compete with
American ingenuity and enterprise and
the great productiyeness Of intelligent
American labor.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Clarksville Boys at Coal Creek
Need Provisions.
Movements on Foot at Their Homes to
Send Them all the Eatables
They viii Need.

The first authentic report Of the
condition of Clarksville's soldier boys
at Coal Greek, reached here this
morning in letter from Capt. Clay
Stacker. This letter gives anything
but cheerful outlook. The troops
are quartered at Coal Creek and are
sleeping in box cars. They are but
poorly fed, from the fact that it is
next to impossible to get the proper
kind of provisions. capt. Stacker
says in his letter that he has eaten
nothing since he has been there ex-
cept cheese and bologna sausage, and
he has slept only about three hours.
The boys need attention, and the citi-
zens OF Clarksville are hereby called
on to open their pockets and larGers.
Forbes Bivouac started this morn
ing to raise lot of provisions, such
as can be shipped at once. They pro-
pose to get their box off this evening
SO il will reach them to morrow.
They will send such provisions as can
be purchased already cooked in the
groceries. BY getting this box off on
the Elkton accommodation train at
three O'Clock, it will reach Coal Creek
thursday.
There is also another move on foot
that will insure the boys all the pro-
visions they can possibly need. Sew
eral ladies are at work to-day taking
voluntary contributions. They want
cooked hams, beaten biscuit, canned
goods, pickles and cakes. All con-
tributions on this line are wanted at
Young y Beach's grocery Thursday
by noon sharp. This box will be sent
away Thursday evening, and should
reach its destination Saturday. Bear
in mind, that the men who have no
cooked hams, and no one to cook for
them, can do.their part by making
cash contributions.
There is probability that the boys
will be at Coal Greek for several
weeks and will need provisions all
the time. The work, therefore,
should be 90 systematized that a box
will leave here every week. The
citizens should respond literally to
this cause, for it is IA noble one. Those
boys at Coal Creek are doing duty
for their State, and the ones who are
at home should sec to it that they are
supplied with good provisions. Tell
Young Il Beach, or the ladies who
are doing the soliciting, what you
will give and they will tell you when
to bring it in. Nearly everybody
will respond and some of them, per-
haps, will not be called on to bring in
their contributions before next week.
When you are called on respond
promptly.

THE COW HAD THE BEST OF IT.
A Bicyoiist Comes to Grief Unex-
pectediy.


A funny thing occurred this morn
ing on Madison street, in the East
end. 1t was little comedy in which
there were but two characters-one a
cow and the other a man. Fortu-
nately there was one spectator, else
this Joke would have never seen the
light of day. Inasmuch as the one
who got the best of it was the COW,
the joke would have been safe
enough without an eye witness, but
such there was, and he had told it to d
reporter within fifteen minutes of its
occurrence. The victim (name with
held by request) is most enthusiast
tic bicyclist. Riding the wheel is
such source of enjoyment that he
gets up at beastly hour in the
morning, and before daylight starts
out for ten-mile spin. 1t was while
returning from one of these spins
that he came unexpectedly to grief
this morning. A motherly old cow
stood at right angles to him in the
center of the road chewing her cud
peacefully. Then it was that the
foolhardy fellow thought to have
some fun at the expenss Of the poor
old cow. He reasoned that
by throwing off the breaks and APP
preaching her as rapidly as he could
that she would hustle out of the way.
Down the hill he. drove at terrific
speed, apparently unobserved by the
COW, who never budged an inch. 1t
seemed the wheel had acquired mo-
mentum sufficient to go straight
through her. She was seen to
steady herself when the crash came.
1t was all over in seconds time.
She meyer moved and continued to
chew asr peacefully as ever. The
cyclist took a fifteen-foot header.
He lay perfectly still for minute,
and then got slowly to his feet, look
ed about him to see who was looking,
looked at himself, beat the dust from
his clothing, shot one glance at the
COW, and with difficulty mounted his
wheel and proceeded slowly to the
city, meditating upon the ups and
downs of life. This, reader, is true
story, and has fine moral.

The meeting was called to order and

Speeches were made by DR.. ID. F.

the reason that the trouble at Coal
Creek was of such nature that a vol
unteer company would not be need
ed, no organization was effected.

The registrations books should be
opened by the middle of September
to make the registration legal, and OF
course the voters will not fail to reg

the certificate of registration issued
for the county election will not be
sufficient in the November election.

is highly important that every
