THE MYSTERY UNVEILED.

The Identity of the Woman Who Visited
Elkton to Look at the Victim of the
Iron Hill Murder
The mystery surrounding the identity
of the Wilmington woman who called
several times at Elkton to inquire into the
strange murder near Iron Hill, which has
been agitating the people Of Cecil county,
has been cleared up. The woman is Mrs.
Preston r. Mousley, and her residence is
at No. 1908 East Thirteenth street. Her
husband was u blacksmith, who disap-
peared from his home sometime ago and
since that time nothing has been heard of
him. Mrs. Mousley heard of the Iron Hill
murder, and having faint suspicion that
the victim might be her lost husband, she
paid visit to that place, but positively re-
fused to give her name.
This course was adopted by the woman
from desire to avoid any notoriety, but it
set the Cecil county authorities to think
ing and the result was that her identity
was made known. Mrs. Mousley does not
think the murdered man is her husband.

IN speaking OF the attack on wool by
the democratic congress the American
Farmer, one of the leading agricultural
journals in the country says: The
American Farmer stays by the farmers
of the United States in their fight
against free wool and woolens. The
issue is a deadly one and the crisis is
close upon us, but the free trade doc.
trine is in less favor than it was three
months ago. The taste Of the medicine
is opening the eyes of many people who
voted the democratic ticket last fall.
They wish it was to do over again; the
results would be different. In our last
issue the suggestion Of %petitioning con-
gress was urged, and again We would
say petitions are all that can save the
wool industry Of the country against a
terrible disaster. The time is getting
short, and there must be prompt and
persistent action all along the line or all
is lost"

AFTER the passage of the repeal bill
silver went up 2 cents and wheat dropped
a couple of cents. According to the
chart recently sent out by Senator
Hansbrough wheat and silver always
have huctuated in like ratio. But there
seems to be a hitch somewhere just now.
What nonsense it is to argue in favor of
silver simply because the price Of wheat
and the price Of silver have maintained
q uniform ratio-price has gradually
fallen alike. As we'll take cotton. navy
beans, calico, and salt-the price of
every kind of product, manufactured or
raw material, has fallen gradually dur
ing the past twenty years, as tue methods
of production have been improved and
the cost lessened. The price of silver
has had very little to do with the price
of wheat. The price of both is regulated
by entirely different causes than exist in
each other.

ASoTABLE article, printed anonymous.
ly in the November Forum, contrasts
the senate of to-day with the senate of
the days of Webster, Clay and Calhoun.
A classification of the present senators,
by six fair-minded judges, divides them
into senators of the old type, professional
politicians, plutocrats, accidents and 3D.
dities, and old fogies. The history of in
dividual senators, as revealed by an an
alysis of the Congressional Directory
biographies, shows that most of them
lack the traditional qualifications of
their high office:-the conclusion being
that we put politics on a lower level
than our fathers dio, that we have as
good q senate as we deserve to have, and
that it's inferior personnel simply denotes
the decline of politics as one of the
noble professions.

AT the close of the 81 legislature, pur-
suant to q flaw passed by that body.
Governor Burke appointed three com.
pliers of the laws, who were to compile
the statutes of the territory and state to
date and present to the '93 Legislature
for it's action. The compilers did this
work, the jamestown Alert to the con-
trary, notwithstanding, and presented
their report. The report was not the
compilation, or all that the compilers
did, as charged by the Alert. They pre-.
pared the copy for the printer-a stack
OF it as high as Kegs head. Keg knows
this, but he wants to give the old COM
pliers a dig, and-knows how to prepare
the way. The last legislature appointed
a new commission and appropriated
$1,000 for the work. This is $1,000
thrown away, for it would not have taken
$1,000 more to make the Compilation of
the first board to date, and as good
as that which will be presented to
the next legislature. The case before
the supreme court, arises out of the re.
fusal OF. the governor TO allow for services
performed after the advent of the new
administration, Notwithstanding the old
compilers were appointed for two years.
The court will undoubtedly hold With
the compilers.

The disgraceful row in Chicago's
municipal government was brought to
an end Monday night by the contirma-
ton, at the regular meeting of the city
council, OF the election Of Geo. B. Swift,
republican. for temporary mayor. The
democrats Withdrew from their position
reluctantly, but the advice of their cor
poration counsel, Mr.. Kraus, aud the en-
treaties of Mr.. Trude, who will probably
be the next democratic candidate for
mayor, prevailed and the vote of the
special meeting was confirmed by a vote
of g. to 5. The election Of Mayor Har-
rison's successor occurs two weeks from
last Tuesday.

Mr.. GEORGE WEIGH, republican, has
been elected commissioner IN the First
district by an overwhelming majority.
There was scarcely any disaffection in
the republican party-except that class
who have frequent visions of "old gang"
ghosts and who are frequently guilty of
Irritation with The populists and demo-
Gratis. The vote was light and many
democrats as we'll as republicans failed
to vote. Probably the most disap-
pointed candidate is Farrand, the popu-
list, who some how imagined before
election that he was in it.

The First commissioner district takes
in about two thirds of the city. There
are three candidates. The republicans
will. almost without exception, vote for
Mr.. George Welch, the active young re-
publican from Teller. They believe him
to be qualified for the position and fol-
lowing up the decision Of the recent re-
publican mass convention they will make
his majority as large as possible. There
is little interest manifested, however,
and the only danger is failure Of repub-
licans to vote. 1t is important that
every voter exercises his right. 1t is a
duty he yves to himself, his party and

with there are ludicrous and ridiculous
circumstances here and there. For in-
stance one of President Cleveland's
callers this week declared that his mort
gage of s50,0G0.0W on the Northern
Pacific railroad was due and he wanted
his money. Another represented HIM
self as the advance agent for the Messiah
and he wanted Cleveland to put up
money to build an altar. In times Of
great excitement. when press and people
are wrought up to q high pitch, the lives
of all great men, or men holding offices
of trust and patronage are in danger.

or a vicious turn. The individual may
be harmless or he may be extremely
dangerous. Public men should be
guarded against the intrusion of crauks

WAsHlNGToN,ssNov. 9.--There has MT
been for many years an "otf year, cleo.
ton in which the leaders at Washington
have manifested as much interest as in
the one just passed. 1t has been felt by

the people on the finance question. In
Virginia, for instance, where the cam.

waged on financial issues, the Democrats
We're quite unable to gain the attention
of audiences by a discussion Of
tariff reform or other well known
tenets of the Democratic faith. In
Maryland the discussion turned largely
on the same issue, and, indeed, the
statements of Democratic leaders gener.

fight in congress and the final defeat Of
the silver men will come a

steadfastly for repeal admit that

ties will have a better opportunity to de-

Iowa never failed to do her duty by
the republican ticket, until the vexatious
prohibition question entered into the
campaigns, since which time she has
been q ck-sliding somewhat, and thor
oughly demoralized. Having eliminated
prohibition from the party platform, the
republicans came up smiling this fall
and swept the state, notwithstanding the
intense personal popularity Of Governor
Boies, the renegade republican, whom
the democrats we're shrewd enough to
pick up and push to the front.
