important and enjoyable feature Of
Convention. The arrangement saved time
and furnished favorable opportunity for
pleasant social intercourse. Housewives
were largely relieved and could attend the
sessions with real enjoyment.
There was no slow coach movement at
the Womans' Missionary Convention.
The Woman's Missionary Society knew
their men when they selected the speakers
for the Wednesday evening meeting.
The Methodist sisters showed their high
appreciation of the Missionary Convention
by the large attendance and careful
noting the strong points in this woman's
work
Rev. Mr.. McEImoyie said good thing
when he claimed that bright, cultured, re-
fined and well educated young woman was
as competent to cast ballot as the ignor-
ant pauper class that is drifting westward.
Mrs Crosby who presided over the Home
Society, showed herself skillfnl parlia-
menterian and leader in church work, and
one who with the most advanced ideas on
all his questions, would not be without
following.
The choir. with organ accompaniment,
and the selections, sung at the Missionary
service were highly appreciated by the
members of the convention as well as by
the large audiences which gathered at the
public meetings. 4
Our local w. G.. T. q. must have felt
greatly encouraged by the clear .outspoken
expressions of the leaders in Home Mission
work. There came no uncertain sound
from this intelligent Cody body of women.
The saloon men received no quarters at
their hands. No class of women are
brought in more direct contact with the
evil effects Of the rum traffic than those
who seek to help the poor and unfortunate.
Mrs Marks received an eager hearing on
Wednesday afternoon. Though limited to
ten minutes, she said more within this
limit than man would have said in doubly
that time. The evening audience would
have gladly listened to her.

Mrs. N. M. Browne, at the Methodist par
sonage.
Rev. Mr.. McElmoyle and wife were en-
tertained at the Manse. Mr.. McElmoyle is
the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in
Elkton.
Mrs. Beckwith, wife of Prof Beckwith,
of Delaware College, was entertained at the
home of Mrs. F. P. Rose.
Mrs. s. M. Donnell, of Newark, one of
the leading temperance women of the
state, and through whose influence, largely,
liquor license was not obtained for saloon
almost under the shadow Of Delaware
College, spent Wednesday at the Missionary
Convention.

Republicans also believe that the prolonged

portant cause Of trouble. That uncertainty
would have been removed, as far rs it has been
now, by action of Congress in the spring. On
either theory. the responsibility of the party in
power is clear and complete. The people had
intr,is.cd to President Cleveland and the Dem
ocratic party entire control of the Government.
Their refusal to Use that power for months, in
the hope that they might escape disclosures and
divisions hurtful TO the party, was on either
theory the cause of much disaster. For the
consequent disaster they are responsible be-
cause. but for allengrossng partisan zeal these
disturbances might have been avoided In the
spring. at least as far as repeal could have
ayerted them.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The pcople who vote this year will not need
any orators to tell them whether they arc better
off since the vote for Il change last November
They know more than they want TO know on
that subject. It is probable that comparatively
few of them have not seen their earnings or
proti.s shrink materially during the last year.
while the change has brought TO great many
Of them absolute loss Of employment, and TO
many that loss Of all their income continues
while 70 many others it lasted for months. The
only question about which they may desire in
formation IS whether the party now in power
is responsible.
little plain reasoning will settle the ques-
ton Either the disasters Of 1893 have been
due TO the continued operation Of the Silver
Purchase act as President Cleveland and many
Democrats say. or they have been due to the
transfer CT political power in other ways. For
the country was never more prosperous than in
October Of last year. the very month before the
vote for a change. The Ontgo of gold to Eu-
rope in exchange for American securities sem
back hithcr, began within til month after that
vote although gold had been coming 10 This
side in October The same Silver law was In
force in October last year that has been In
force ever since. But III tne silver 1urcnaSe
law by its continuing operation caused trouble,
who is responsible?
There is no escaping the fact that the Prcsi-
dent and his party might just as we'll have
faced this issue. and forced the repeal OF the
purchasing clause st an extra session in March
last as at an extra session in the fall The
President was strongly urged, even by many
business men Of his own party, to call such an
extra session and settle the question at once,
so that impending disaster might be, as they
thought, avcrtcd. But he was informed and
1t proves to have been the fact that the ma.
jorIty Of his own party would not vote for re-
peal and the measure could be carried only
by the Republicans with minority Of Demo
Gratis. The President and his most influential
advisers were anxious to avoid the quick dis
closure Of Democratic unfitncss for the respon-
sibllitics Of government. They wanted to avoid
the probability Of injury to the party which
such division would involve. Hence he de-
cided to refuse the call for an extra session
| until August. That was the cause OF all the
calamities that the continuance OF silver pur-
chases has produced

A PRACTICAL TEST.

1t is now the privilege of American citizens
to test. so to speak, In their own persons and
pockets and homes the virtue of two opposing
theories One party has pcrsistcntly main
tanned that all the depression In business since
last October, when the country was more pros
porous than ever before. has been due to the
Sherman act. which is virtually repealed. The
other has maintained that ii was due to dis
trust Of the change of policy in all respects; to
the fear OF free coinage the fear of unlimited
State bank issues, and the expectation of n
change OF duties. The repeal gives TO those
who do business and those who earn wages an
opportunity to judge for themselves which the
DRY is correct II business and industry pres
emily recover after repeal, 1t will be claimed
that the depression can no longer be attributed
with justice to other causes than the Sherman
net.
That the test may be fairly understood, it is
important to notice what sort of improvement
Is requisite to sustain the theory In question
TO the millions who live by labor, and are
majority of both parties. the test Is one Of work
