HARSH is mild term for the words
used by the EVENING JOURNAL to Fred
f. Bach, Senator Higgins private secre
tary. Bach is charged with writing a
letter to the Union Printer Of New York
making charges against Charles W.
Edwards, who is an applicant for the
Office Of public printer, at Washington
The war Of words, If continued between
these two former friends, will no doubt
be hot and furious, and the expressions
Of dog 'snarling hound" and villain"
will be as sweet as honey compared with
what is to soon follow. .-Middletown New
Era.
There is no war of words or any other
kind of war between the EVENING
JOURNAL and Fred Il. Bach. Mr..
Bach probably knows better than to at
tempt reply to the statements of the
EVENING JOURNAL. and the EVENING
JOURNAL would not need but one swipe
to knock the spots out of anything he
might say The EVENING JOURNAL is
always loaded for such game. The ex-
preston "snarling hound was in
vented and applied by Minister Sperry
four years ago. Notwithstanding all
this, however, Mr. Bach would not have
any mention in this paper if he we're
not in the position of confidential friend
and adviser to Senator Higgins the
most important official the Republi-
cans ever had from Delaware
and the leader Of the Republi.
can party in Delaware. In
showing what Bach is we show what
Delaware Republicans produce. What
the tin plate idea comes to in politics,
and how the negro in politics depreciates
a party and elevates men who could not
be elevated on intrinsic merit The
respectable, conservative members Of the
Republican, party may disapprove OF
Bach-doubtless they do not approve Of
him-but there he is He has the
nearest place TO Senator Higgins that
can be obtained or given; he is the
leader Of the Republican party in Della.
ware He shows what Delaware
Republicanism has come to. We
simply take him at the estimate put up.
on him by Senator Higgins and by the
party which supports Senator Higgins.

election of Little Creek hundred in
Sussex county, so as to defeat the will Of
the people That charge has never been
met. Senator Higgins has not brought
suit against Major Isaac j. Wootten, the
affiant, or against the EVENING JOURNAL,
the publisher Of that charge The charge
If untrue, is libelous If allowed to re.
main undisputed it affects the stand
ing Of Senator Higgins at home
and abroad. We do not court 3
law suit, but we would willingly enter
into legal investigation for the purpose
Of proving the innocence or guilt Of
Senator Higgins in this matter. We
would be willing TO make an equitable
arrangement for the expenses of such
a legal investigation Indeed, II the
matter could be arranged for a thorough

innocence However that may be, we

THE GIRLS RODE, TO THEIR SORROW.
One BIourns Broken Arm, and the other
"A Broken Leg.

A young man by the name Of Russell,
residing in Slaughter Neck, came to town
few days ago and, after filling himself
brimming full OF bug juice, started for
home.
On his way heovertook a couple Of Young
lady acquaintances and invited them to get
up aud ride with him. The invitation
was kindly accepted by the ladies. where.
upon Russell piled the lash TO his horse
putting him in a dead run.
On reaching a short turn in the road
with the horse going at full speed, the
carriage was upset and the occupants
thrown to the earth with such force as
to break an arm Of one of the young
ladies aud leg of the other The
young man was hurled distance Of ten
feet into lock of fence, apparently
dead
In this helpless condition they we're
compelled TO remain by the roadside for
an hour when they were discovered and
taken to their homes. The young man
remained unconscious for three hours
after the accident occurred
On regaining consciousness he was told
the results OF his fool hardness and he

government that Mr.. Egan be instructed
TO deliver them to the local authorities
This demand, it is said, has not been
complied with by the United States. AS
yet no definite action has been taken.
10 is not reasonable to conclude that
Mr. Egan is wrong on no other evidence
than Mr.. Egan's comprehensive
capacity for being wrong. But
taking his past industry into
sconideration, there is no reason for be-
lieving that he is right. If he were
right, in this instance, it would be the
FIRST instance in his peculiar history
The fact that the controversy has con.
tinued for three years. is evidence Of the
Incompetence Of Minister Egan. It is
pleasant to know that we shall soon
be done with the Blaine Irishman. He
was a discredit to the Irish people and a
disgrace to this country. He obtained
his position by putting his party allegi.
ance up to the highest bidder. Egan
was used by Blaine to control the Irish
American vote That was an imputa-
tion upon the honor Of Irish Americans
and a definite case Of venality on the
part of Egan We have no objection to
the Irishman as a competent and honest
official we have many objections to any
man who takes Office because he can con
troll other mems votes, and because his
own vote is for sale.

COMMENTING on the lowering of the
flag of the United States in the Hawaiian
Islands the New York Herald says:
In putting an end to the protectorate
proclaimed by Minister tevens in Homo
lulu Commissioner Blount doubtless
acted with authority and in accordance
with instructions received from the
President before starting on his mission.
This course is creditable to the admins
tration at Washington and should have
been taken by Mr. Harrison as soon as
he learned of the remarkable action Of
Minister Stevens As the Herald has
hitherto pointed ont, the hasty
establishment of an armed pro
tectorate was wholly unwarranted
In law and indef nsible in policy. It was
enough TO subject the minister TO EN-.
phaiic censure from Washington and
prompt his recall The action of Com
missioner Blount leaves the provisional
government TO stand or fall on its own
merits. That is as IL should be. Il Is a
matter for the people of Hawaii to settle
without any interference, armed or other
wise, on the part of the United States.
The functions Of our diplomatic and
naval representatives there are restricted
10 protecting the nNeS and property OF
law abiding American citizens. It is not
their business TO set up a government
for the people OF to try to force aunexa
tion Of the islands to the United States.
This is a popular government, not d
monarchy. We cannot maintain pro
tectorate. It is out Of harmony il is at
Wat with the genius of our government

TIE preliminary examination of Frank
Hickey, the alleged murder OF John
Clayton has ended at Morrillton Ark.
Burkhardt's evidence has been conflict

no knew about the Clayton murder.
Then he said he knew more about the
case. but would not give the evidence
until summoned before the grand Jury.
On account Of this statement aud other
facts In possession of the prosecution.
Justice Bently concluded to hold him
further as an accessory to the crime. It
will he curious now to note what posi-
tion the silly old Republican editors, who
are in their dotage. will take ia regard to

Colonel Cabsll Breckinridgs one Of the

murder. On that pretended suspicion
Colonel Breckinrldge was unseated by

putting a man, likely negro, in, who
would vote for the Mckinley and the

TIE unofficial list Of members elect of
the House Of Representatives for the
Fifty-third Congress, as compiled by
the Clerk Of the House, was published
TO day. OF 356 seats one only is vacant
The vacancy is in Massachusetts,, and
was caused by the election of Repre-.
sentative Lodge TO the Senate. Accord
ing to Clerk Kerr's count the Democrats
will have 220 Representatives, the Re.
publicans 127 and the Third party 8,
giving the Democrats a majority Of 93
over the Republicans. and of S5 over
the combined forces Of the Republicans
and Third party men. General Grant is
dead. He cannot revise his statement
that the Democrats could al
ways be relied upon to blunder. "
Perhaps the Mckinley bill was not a
blunder, the women hated It and the
men did not understand it. Then there
is the Force bill; the Bnllon-dollar
Congress, the Reed rules, Raum, Porter.
and President Harrisons efforts to cap
ture the nomination. Those may not
have been blunders but the results seem
to indicate that the people did not ap.
prove of them.

Where to Save Money
on Furniture.

Did you ever consider, on
entering a large furniture
establishment, where they
make a great display. that you,
on paying for your goods, are
also paying for the display?
Such is the fact. Therefore
those in need of Furniture
would do well to visit the
dealer who is under small ex-
pense, who pays cash for his
goods, (thus gaining all dis
counts, and who is not under
a heavy rent. At such a place
you are given the benefit of
all this saving. This is the
sort of an establishment we
keep, as thousands of our Gus
toners can testify. We have
on hand and are constantly re-
ceiving the finest line of Fur
niture, Carpets and Bedding
to be had anywhere in the
city, and at a less price than
you can purchase elsewhere, as
we make no charge for dis
