ON 10 RooKs-

II is not strange that the Republican
party is convulsed with personal quar-
rel among its leaders. The party has no
principles. II came into being as an anti.
slavery party. fought the war as a slave
freeing party: and, then drifted into a
spoils hunting, pension grabbing sub
sidy stealing and tariff robber party. It
has no principles now; it stands for
nothing, means nothing. offers nothing,
but SO much tariff, so much pension. so
much subsidy. so many Offices TO those
who adhere to it for what can be got
thereby.
The greatest man in the party-the
man who has been In Office thirty years
without doing the country any greater
service than that of feathering his own
nest-James g. Blaine. is the only one
in ii who promises amy policy now Mr..
Blaine proposes reciprocity, a plan for
compelling prosperity through the State
Department by bargains with few
weak little republics south Of us whose
peoples have scarcely emerged from bar
barism
That is great proposition II Is pro-
posed by the man. who in all his life
never proposed anything before, except
to use the taxes ON whislyey TO pay for
education. That great political vagary
is proposed by the man who has Just
tricked his chief. President Harrison. of
the track
Mr. Harrison has no policy His first
message said he had not examined the
silver question. If he should tell the
truth in another message he would say
he had not examined any other current
Issue. Tie gets his opinions at second
hand. He took the office Of President
much as Hayes took it, and has held Il
with about as much distinction and with
about as much popularity as was lavished
by the people upon Hayes.
It is not strange that the great Repub

STORIES OF THE DAY.
A NIIssIng TIsh storY.

Several days ago one of Wilmington's
bright newspaper men who had heard
much of the fish TO be caught in the
Chesapeake canal at Delaware City. but
who had never been there decided TO try
his luck at catching some Of the finny
tribe. His chief reason for going was to
write up big head fish story of remark
able catches made.
He secured Police Captain Francis
Sergeant Chambers and Patrolman Scott
to accompany him They set out In the
morning with enough tackle TO catch all
the fish in the canal The reporter took
tape measure and a pair of pocket
scales along to measure and weigh the
fish. In due time the fishermen arrived
at their destination and set their lines
The scribe selected phnce where his
copy could be prepared easily. and
where he could, at the same time. set
his line.
In short time one Of tine officers Of
of the law had bite and landed fine
hsh. During the day the blue coats cap
tured several more which were duly re-
corded by the reporter who was by this
time about discouraged with the luck he
was having The intended big head
story of the morning had only reached a
single head When the time to 90 home
had arrived the reporter, fearing ques-
tions as TO what he had caught dropped
the article In the water He told the
officers that it was an accident and that
he did not think il was worth the trouble
of rewriting. Now he never even eats
fish.

SARCASTIC persons have remarked that
the intense feryor displayed by Chamcey
N. Depew for the denomination Of Presi-
dent Harrison is due TO his desire TO be
retained in his position in the Worlds
Fair Commission. It is too bad to sus-
pect that distinguished verbal artist OF
any other motives than disinterested and
spontaneous admiration for President
Harrison and keen appreciation of the
danger that the country will fall TO
pieces If he is not reelected to save it
for four years more.
