ABOUT THE LOTTERY.

The San Diego Union of Septem-
Der 18th, has the following COM
ments regarding the attempt now
being made to secure a lottery
franchise in Hawaii:
KEEP IT OUT.-The disgraeeful
attempt of the Louisiana company
to renew its franchise in this coun-
try having failed, the company is
now offering 100000 per year to
the Hawaiian Government as an
inducement for admission to Homo
lulu. 1t is highly creditable to the
Hawaiians that they are opposing
the introduction of the Louisiana
scourge with great earnestness. A
translation of a circular letter in
the native tongue appeared in a
recent number of the COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISER, a paper published In
Honolulu, in which the writer
takes very advanced ground in his
appeals to the people to exclude
the lottery. The opposition to the
scheme of the company appears to
be general, and the Honolulu news
papers are full of disappearing
comment, which it is to be hoped
will be effectual in shutting out the
corrupt men who have so long been
permitted to plumber the people of
this country. twenty-five millions
of dollars per year have been
drawn by this company largely
from the pockets of the poor in the
United States since it began its
| nefarious work. The hope Of OBJ
tanning much for little has been
| the means of impoverishing thous-
| ands in America, and the power OF
the monopoly has been so great
that until within year past all
opposition proved useless. With
vast sums of money at their com
mand for the corruption of legisla'
tors, and with every other means
which money gives of perpetuating
the thievery which had been sc
long going on under the protecting
wings of State government, be i
said to the lasting honor of Louisi
ana, the yoke has at last beer
thrown off. Neither Mexico or the
Hawaiian Islands should open thu
door for the devil which the United
States has cast out.

WET PEAS IN SEP
TENDER.

IT'S true they've gone to seed,
1t seems but yesterday
Since these, now withered on the stalk,
Were blooming bright and gay.
Poor things; well, let them be,
They've had their time to grow;
A little while and they will lie
Forgotten meath the snow.
Nay, cease your senseless words,
Forgotten they'll not be;
You say they've gone to seed, and yet
You have no eyes to see.
The flowers, true, are gone,
But every ripened pod
Gives promise of new stirring life
Beneath the next spring sod.
Alas! for you and me,
If, when we've gone to seed,
We've left no hope of future good,
Bound up in word and deed.
The flowers may fade away,
Our graces may depart,
But neither they nor we are dead,
Unless we're dead at heart.

TIE Morning Nstcs, speaking OF the
proposition to call an extra session OF
the Legislature for the purpose Of re-
lieying the Courts of Delaware, walls
out that under present circumstances
Sc even disabled judges are preferred to
relief, This is a foolish idea. II we
are to do without courts Of Justice
until a constitutional convention can
be called the community will be in a
state Of anarchy before relief is possi-
Bile. The condition Of affairs is OF
course not satisfactory but the exi-
gencies Of the situation require prompt
action Of some kind and no one believes
that Chief Justice Comegys or Judge
Houston would stand in. the way of
the best interests Of the State. A
remedy which will act quickly is what
the State needs at present. The con-
stitutional convention method is too
slow to answer the purpose. Those
who want a convention should strive
to secure its calling as quickly as pos
sible, but they should not undertake to
hamper the courts in orderto frighten
the people into voting for it.

m SIX the question. Why can't
Parker make and sell Harness
~ cheaper than any one that only
makes and sells 80 to rs sets year !
How do we sell from 100 to- $50 sets
month :? Surely it is not because they
are good-for-nothing. The people are
not all fools. A nimble sixpence is
better than a slow shilling. How is
it done then Simply by buying goods
from first hands, not FIR ON jobbers who
must have the profit you are entitled
to. Cutting and making them up in
large quantities. Understanding the
improved method in short, being
practical. Then again, which is tho
better, selling Is sets of Harness year
at aproft of from 81 to 80, or selling
1OO0sets at a profit of $1.50 to $3.50 a
set? Don't you see. When depend
ed on local trade, / was continually
crying down other work than my own
too common. too cheap, won't last
&C., &c. The people bought it all the
same. So concluded would make
it for them. / claim to know some
thing about the Harness business, and
have some pride in my reputation as
a manufacturer. That being the case,
do you think l could jeopardize my
standing &c ? know what I am doing
All manner of things are said. and
done in opposition to new methods.
Why not improve on the Harness line
as upon any other ? What is the mat
ter with the w. L. Douglas machine
made shoes I? What is the matter with
machine-made clothing ? What is the
matter with factory7made blinds,
doors, &c. &c ? What is the matter
with factory-made Harness ? Why
nothing, only the price. Who could
think of competing with our manu-
facturers of phosphate with a hoe. All
will say in conclusion: If you are
needing set of Harness or anything
in the line, come and see us. We have
handmade as well as machihe-made,
and will sell you the goods in quanti-
ties away down. Our Collars, Ropes,
Hames &C., came direct from the
manufacturers at quantity price.
We will give you ours also. Ii after
seeing our goods for yourself, and
heard our story, you are not interested,
we will allow you to depart in peace.

! The Daily Republican seems to be
very much exercised concerning the
actions of the Middletown Board of
Trade and the Middletown Improve
ment Company. Among the active
members Of both Of these organizations
are number of Democrats who
believe in tariff reform, and against
them the Republican is waging war
which the editor fondly imagines will
turn some Democrat from his allegience
to the cause. The statements made by
the Republican, are not at all argumen-
tatiye and prove nothing ; they cannot
be substantiated.
The real facts are that our people
organized a Board Of Trade because
they needed some organized body
which would be competent to speak
anthoritatiyely for the whole. They
secognized the fact that in union

there Is strength and acted accofds
|ingly. Out Of the necessities Of the
Board Of Trade sprang the Middletown
Improvement Company. These two
bodies are engaged in laudabIe effort
to bring to The town certain manufac-
turing establishments which will
employ quite a number of operatives.
These operatives will of course con-
sumo more or less of the necessaries OF
life which our merchants will sell to
them. By an increase in population
an increase in business is assured.
with the establishment of these indus
tries the tariff had nothing to do, and
the reason therefore is very simple.
viz these establishments do not come
here from foreign country but from
other towns and cities within the
United States and distant from this
point not two hundred miles /; there
fore they were affected by the tariff
as much before they came as they now
are. Had they come from England Or
France or Germany there might have
been some slight reason to suppose
they came here to take advantage OF
the tariff that is, the fact that this
government taxes one class OF her
people for the benefit of another might,
under different circumstances, have
caused these factories to locate here.
The Republican is decidedly weak in
It's arguments and delusiye in state
ments. Last week the statement was
made that we had a stocking factory in
Middletown this week it has changed
to shirt factory and the editor does
not yet know which it is. Last week
be stated that the Middletown farmer
was protected against the 20 cent
wheat of India 'by the Mckinley law,
when as matter of fact the farmer is
by that same law, left to shift for him
self in position which the enforce
ment Of that law renders even less
tenable than before. The Repablicda
will Of course admit, as do all sensible
people that the price of our. grain is
fixed at Liverpool, the great central
grain market and point of distribution
for the whole world. Such being the
case, India wheat, if it can be pro-
duced at less cost than our wheat and
freighted to Liverpool for less than our
wheat can be freighted,. will sell for a
price per bushel which is commensur-
ate with the cost. Our wheat goes to
Liverpool and is sold at price fixed
by the price of India wheat. Here
comes in the injustice and discrimina-
tion of the Mckinley law. Could our
farmers who are compelled to compete
with India wheat, take the money
realized from the sale of their wheat,
buy Herewith such goods as they need
and bring them home without having
to pay duty ranging from 25 to IT'S
per cent. they could better afford to
compete with I" India wheat at 70
cents per bushel. 2 But, instead Of
being allowed to do that they are com
PEELED to sell at Liverpool prices and
to buy at Liverpool prices plus the
amount of tax on imports added by the
tariff. Neither Middletown, the Board
of Trade nor the Improvement Com
spany ask for tariff. What we want
is equal justice to all, fayors TO none.
We need no display of Government
faYoriteism. We simply ask to be
allowed to sell where we can sell to the
greatest advantage and to buy on the
same plan.

THE Delawarean suggests that the
State Convention which meets May
18th to elect delegates to Chicago
shall not instruct those delegates in the
interests Of any particular candidate,
but rather to leave to them the right
to vote for whom they please. Such a.
suggestion is the first step in the effort
which is being made to secure the
election to the national convention of
delegates who are opposed to the nonl-
nation of Mr. Cleveland. There
! never was time when the Democrat
ic party in Delaware needed more the
help of q strong national ticket than
the. present. Strange to say Senator
Hill has some admirers in this State
and it is their object TO prevent the in
instruction of the delegates SO that
should Hill show any considerable
strength at the start our delegates
might go to his support without assum-
ing the responsibility of heglecting the
instructions given,
The Deld,cdfedn states that not a
single Cleveland delegate was elected
to the New York State Convention
and the statement is true. in every par
ticular, but at the same time misleading.
That delegate election was carried on
without regard to decency or honesty
and had a Cleveland delegate been
elected he would have been unceremon-
iously shut out. This however has
nothing to do with Delaware. What,
Delawareans want is free and un-
trammelled expression of the will of
the people. They do not want any
6 Snap Convention " and at least
eight ont Of ten Of them do want to
send delegation to Chicago instruct
ed to vote for Grover Cleveland, the
man who made issues upon which the
Democratic party can and viii make
winning fight, the man who has the
courage to say and to stand by what he
believes to be right, the man who has
done more than any other to afford to
our people bright prospect of relief
from system of taxation which has
been especially burdensome to them.
In Grover Cleveland is found none
Of that Sinking and lodging which is
so characteristic of some other public
men. With weakened candidate,
afraid to express an opinion, hiding
behind all kinds of-excuses for Demo-
cratic policy we are doomed to defeat.
What the party needs most in candi-
date is fearlessness and honesty. Those
qualities predominant in the character
of Grover Cleveland, and be can and
will carry the State of Delaware this
fall.
