A State without a Militia.

Delaware will soon be without state
militia. This condition of affairs has its
origin in the adverse action of the state
legislature as to an appropriation needed
for the support of the national guard in
that diminutive but prosperous COM
monwealth. AS soon as the legislature
defeated the militia bill every officer
ana enlisted man in the admirable and
well disciplined little force voted to dis
band, and they are now engaged in car
rying their convictions to a conclusion
that is, while personally creditable, most
discreditable to Delaware. 1t may even
prove to be dangerously inconvenient,
for the posse comitatus is not the power
it once was and, in fact, can but rarely
be assembled, much less depended upon.

LITERARY WOMEN.
The "Biuestoohing" OF tho Past and Fair
scribblers of Today.

The "Bluestooking" OF tho Past and Fair
scribblers Of Today.
A hundred years ago woman who
wrote for the press was looked upon
as a remarkable individual. Popular
opinion painted her as sour, stern
oddity, with blue spectacles over alb
sentminded eyes and dancing cork
screw curls about face as wrinkled
as an English walnut. There was
nothing lovable in her whole make
up. No touch of feminine tenderness
leavened the hard, stiff mass of in
tellectuality; no soft breath from
loves passing wing lifted curl on
the stern forehead. At least there
are no traces of such frailties in the
types handed down by dead gen.
Grafton.
Of course she was a bad house
keeper. Any woman who did such an
unmannerly thing as to appear in
print couldn't know anything of
wifes or mothers domestic virtues.
Then her hands were supposed to be
perpetually covered with ink stains,
for the reign of the festive type
writer had not yet begun. And she
wore pink dress, blue hood and
green shawl to keep up her charac-
ter. Of course she couldn't have any
feminine taste in dress.
Whether these pictures of literary
women in the past were in a preju-
diced vein and exaggerated or not, it
can be truthfully stated that many
of the present stars in the literary
armament are as well known for
their domestic talents and charming
personages as they are for their
graceful and bewitching writings.
Examine closely, and youiAyill find
most of them fine housekeepers-
cooks as well. They dress as well if
not better than any other class of
women. They keep abreast of the
times, are pleasant in conversation,
and not a few are famed for their
personal beauty.
Blue spectacles and corkscrew curls
have vanished in the shadows, and
we see instead a dainty form in tea
gown of soft, shimmering silk whose
clinging folds show the pretty figure
to perfection-the form of one whose
pen commands attention from thou
sands, whose home is the we'll kept
shrine of happiness and love.
Because a woman can write "Odes
to Spring" is no reason she is going
to neglect to curl her bangs or to
make the dressmaker fit the basque
right in the back. One can easily
describe a hero dying in his sweet
hearts arms and then descend to see
if the cook has mixed the buckwheat
batter for morning-at least with a
little practice. There is no reason
why the science of a well kept table
should not trip hand in hand with
1.-THE Descent of Man" orSt. Thomas
Aquinas' philosophy. You never find
q man SO absorbed in Kant that he
forgets to grumble if his steak IS
tough or his soup cold. Mind and
matter are married by law that rec
ognizes no divorce.
In the women writer's Of today one
finds that admirable blending which
gives tenderness to q strong intellec-
tuality and smooths the sharp cor
ners of study into the soft curves of
homely duties. Nov York Adver.

The Silver Swindle.

The Richmond Times gives consider
able space to an effort to prove that
the fact of 1873 demonetizing silver
was not surreptitiously passed by con-
gress. There should be a clearer under
standing of this matter than the Time:
seems inclined to give to it. The act
itself. was not surreptitiously passed,
and we believe that no one familiar
with the facts has ever so stated. The
act was passed in broad daylight, after
a good deal of discussion, mostly de-
sultory.
The charge that has been made, and
which we propose to prove here by the
record, is that the feature of the act
demonetizing silver and discarding II
as a money metal was unsuspected by
all except the conspirators, who were
engaged with Ernest Seyd, the salaried
agent of the Bank of England, in bring
ing about this criminially disastrous
dislocation of our currency
There had been various attempts on
the part of John Sherman to carry ou1
the work that he had to all appearan-
ces been engaged to do at the Paris con
ference in 1867. In 1868, he made d
report to the United States senate in
favor of 'sa single standard exclusive
ly of gold" The same year he intro
duced bill in the senate embodyine
this purpose, The project made nc
sort of headway. 1t was too well un,
derstood. 1t was too dead to attract
attention. Whereupon Sherman
changed his tactics. In April, 1870,
he introduced a bill in the senate, ere
v;sing the laws relating to the mints,
assay officies and coinage of the United
States" The bill was referred to the
finance committee. John Sherman had
begun his underground work.
On the 10Th of December, 1870, Sher.
man reported the bill back to the SEN
ate with some amendments, one max
ing a charge for coinage. There was
some debate on the proposed charge
for coinage, but on no other feature of
the bill. The senate finally, ,onthe 10th
of January, 1871, struck out the coinage
charge, and passed the bill, Sherman
voting against it on the final passage.
The bill went to the house and was re
ferred to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures 1t was report
ed back on the 25th of February; with
amendments. 1t was reintroduced in
the forty-second congress-. extra ses-
sion, on the 9Th of March, 1871. At
the regular session the bill was report
ed back. In explaining the bill Mr..
Kelley, chairman of the committee,
said it was measure for regulating
and administering the affairs of the
mint. The following colloquy took
place between Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Pot
