WE again urge upon the Demo-
Gratis of Delaware the necessity of
immediate organization. We never
knew Of q time when there was such
apathv in the party. For many
wears the Democratic majority in
Delaware has been diminishing at
each successive election. We could
count it by the thousands, now it is
at best only a few hundred. And
at no time within thirty years, has
the outlook been more serious than
it is to-day. The result Of the late
CITY election in Wilmington turn-
ishes striking illustration of this
spirit of indifference, and we know
OF Democrats in our own county
who declare themselves absolutely
Indifferent as to The party's future.
1t is more important to seek a
remedy for this unfortunate condi-
ton than to discuss the causes for
its existence. They, though, are
numerous enough and may be attrib-
uted chiefly to incompetent leader
ship. fractional strife and personal
creed have done their full part to
bring it about. Then there have
been bad nominations. improper ap-
pointments, too many pardons, ex-
travagance in public expenditures
and unwise legislation. And there
have been mistakes of omission as
well as of commission. Chief among
the former was the refusal of the
State Senate at the last session Of
the Legislature to grant any relief
to the farmers of the State groaning
under the burden of oppressive tax
alton.
The only remedy is immediate or
nanization. In a little more than a
year the next campaign in Delaware
will be upon us. A governor is to
be elected, who will fill by appoint
ment nearly every office in the State.
"A United States SepatOr will be
elected by the Legislature then
chosen. A Republican now holds
this high Office as result of Demo
cratic folly and strife. Let us see to
it that he is succeeded by Demo-
crat. And what is more important
still. let us guard against the fright
ful. calamities which might result
from the choice of a Republican Leg
isiature. The white men of this
State cannot afford to risk the dan
gers Of the ascendancy Of a party
composed and dominated as is the
Republican party of Delaware.
Let us, then, organize at once for
the coming battle. Our opponents
are aggressive and determined. Their
confidence and their good organiza-
ton are shown by the way 10 which
thew paid their negroes delinquent
taxes in Kent anu Sussex counties.
The Democrats should begin to work
withox|delay. The next campaign
cani,sSt be won in month, the time
to bNsin the work is "now.n Let
evlz# Democrat feel that he has
De onal duty to perform and that
result of the next election may
pend upon him. Remember that

IT is often said that when girl be-
comes engaged she is no longer "any
GOOD" to her friends. She no long
er seems to care for their friendly
companionship. But after year or
two of married life she is generally
plad to have her old circle of friends
back again and she ought, if she
doesn t, to repent in sackcloth and
ashes over her period Of selfish in
difference to the comfort other near
est and dearest before the lover came
into her life. The loving restraint
Of her father and mother seems irk-
some compared to the rhapsodies OF
the adored who would die for her at a
moments notice. 1t is singular
what a charm this professed mortu-
ary willingness has for a girl, who
if she realized the truth would know
that the parents who brought her in
TO the world and have reared her
with tenderest care and self sacrifice
TO womanhood would far more
surely give their lives for her, if oc-
easion demanded than the man who
has known her but a few short
months or years. During the period
of engagement a girl often seems to
forget that the rest Of the family
have any rights whatever; she ap-
pears to think the parlOr belongs ex-
clusivcly to her in the evening and
regards it as an Infringement OF her
monopoly if others enter it She
disreeards the time honored rule OF
closing the house at ten o'clock and
keeps her parents awake long after
this hour. The truth is she is in a
sort of dreamland, from which she
must inevitably return to the work
a-day world soon enough, so, per-
bb4ss. it's best not to chide her too

~ rra ." That was the vcr-
rendered on Tuesday by the
-rufv in the Lizzie Borden murder
trial at New Bedford, Mass. That
is also tie verdict of the people
everywhere who have followed this
celebrated case and who have read
and analysed every particle of the
evidence produced by the govern
ment and by the defence. Leaving
out the defence entirely there was
not anything in the evidence pro-
duced by the government that an
honest and intelligent jury could
have convicted upon. The govern
ment did not make out a case against
the accused and had the verdict been
different the court would have been
justified in setting it aside and order
ing new trial The government
signally failed in proving anything.
It failed to establish a motive. 1t
failed to produce the instrument OF
death. 1t failed to find a drop OF
blood on the clothing of the accused,
when such a crime could not possi-
bly, have been committed without be.
spattering almost from head to foot
the perpetrator of the horrible deed.
Lizzie Borden's character was al

beyond reprOach. She was a leader
in church matters and all charitable
and philanthropic work of her city
She has been legally tried and pro-
nounced innocent after the case OF
