ST. GEORGES HUNDRED Democrats

keep quiet. Never more will they
salute our ears with their popular war
whoop "nigger!" and when we hold
our meetings In Hamtown, Browntown,
and other localities inhabited by our
colored citizens, We will. not be alone.
There need never be anymore skulking
around in the dusk of the evening lest
they be seen talking to the "niggers. !"
Senator Gray has set the pace, and
everything can now be done open and
above board. The ''white mans"
party has deteriorated so fast that it
needs rejuvinating. and the ''nigger"
is to be the rejuyinating element. Sad
is the lament of the survivors of the

NOBILITY IN sACKCLoTH.
We've come knocking at your door,

We want your votes in 81.
Sang Senator Gray as he handed in
the names of Jocob Wiley and Elijah
III. Bird, two colored men from Viii
mington, for appointment to $72O
positions at Washington few days
ago. Surely the star of Delaware's
noble Democracy is waning, when they
must stoop from their dignified and
exalted position to cater to that ele-
ment which they have SO long hell in
utter disdain-the ''negro."
Hundreds of the faithful ward and
division workers in the city of Will
mington, out of employment, are
totally ignored in these appointments,
and can work on for the glory of the
democracy without any pr spect Of
reward.
The die is cast, and il the future
that proud and illustrious white
Mans" party will sit in sackcloth and
ashes, and weep over the glorious past
when 1t was not necessary TO the sue
cess of the party at the polls to cater
to that most abominable ''negro" ele-
ment. But time changes all things,
and in the last campaign the "Big
Four" including the tool Brinckley,
considered it advisable to create the
Independent Republican" patty which
added about dozen votes at cost Of
hundred dollars each to the Demo-
cratic majority. Not satisfied with
this, Senator Gray now comes forward
and rewards two of these "Indepen-
dent Colored Republicans with posi-
tions in Washington. But Brinckley
refuses to accept such menial en-
pfoyment, demands something better,
and no doubt he'll get it.
The action of Senator Gray is de-
nounced by the faithful who are out of
but their walls availeth
And the Senator continues
to hum his little ditty to the colored
voters:
We've come knocking at your door,
We want your votes in '94.

MORE IMMIGRATION,

The financial de, ression that has
come upon this country has thrown a
million American workmen out of en-
ployment, many thousands of whom
are poverty stricken This is not a
sufficient cause it seems however, to
restrict the landing of stricken
foreigners upon our shores. Already
this year $4,000 immigrants have come
from Italy and more than thousand
are now on their way from plague
stricken Naples. The Committee of
immigration of the last House are re-
sponsible for this. They have played
into the hands Of the steamship com
panies, ana avoided legislation. Now
Speaker Crisp has been asked to put
this committee in the hands of Ameri.
cans who will not strangle legislation
for the restriction of immigration.
The appointment of Geisenheimer, a
wealthy Hebrew as chairman of that

committee meets with disappfoval by
every American, as he is the steamship
companies candidate and Crisp looks
favorably upon him. Geisenheimer Is
interested in bringing his countrynenI
from Russia into the United States,
and is unfit to. fill such an important
position.
: 1t is a crime to permit these boards
of ignorant foreigners to come to this
country, says Senator Chandler, at a
time when there are million Of men
out of work here.
But it is safe to say that nothing will
be done by the administration nor by
the Democratic Congress to stop this
inflow.

Those dainty feather boas, which are now
being displayed in the shop windows, are
sure to be very fashionable and popular
this fall. Already they have made their ap-
pearance around the necks of some of the
best dressed girls at the resorts. They are
entirely appropriate for warm weather
wear, too, for they don't look hot and do
afford quite little protection to bare necks
and chest. They are made in black, white,
green and brown feathers and are becoming
to almost any face either round or thin.
The prices are just as varied as the styles.
When made of curled feathers with jet set
in the tips of the feathers they are very ex-
pensive, ranging from SIS to $50, and of
course as soon as the feathers become damp
the curl comes out and the boa his to he
recurled at an outlay of several dollars.
The kind made of straight fathers can be
bought for a dollar up. The cheapest are
the short ones of plain black.
These boas, am sure will prove very
useful as well as becoming additions to

vent many sore throat contracted while
cooling off on piazza after dance.

Democrats in Congress do not take
kindly to Mr.. Cleveland's departure.
They do not hesitate to say that it was
as much his duty to stay there and help
his party reach a decision on the silver
question AS it is the duty of members
of Congress to stay. Before leaving
Mr.. Cleveland spoke his mind freely to
several prominent members of his par
ty. He told them among other things,
that unless something unexpected oc-

Aside from Mr.. Cleveland's disgust
at the reception given his message by
his party in Congress, his bad health
and his natural desire to be near his
wife just now, there was another
weighty reason for his departure, which
can be fully appreciated by every
proud man. From the time he arrived
until his departure he was almost
completely ignore d by the Senators of
his party, less than half a dozen of
them having paid him the courtesy of
even formal call. This was so differ
ent from what he had been led to ex.
pect by those who had been purposely
misrepresenting things TO him that he
was at first furious, and later humili.
ated. Those Senators whom he saw
carried him no balm for his wounded
pride, as they were practically unani-
nous in the belief that it will be I'M
possible to get a bill for the repeal of
the silver law through the Senate, un-
less it embodies substitute that meets
the approval of the conservative silver
men in that body. Truly DIR. Cleve-
land had reasons enough, for leaving
Washington in hurry, although none
of them were sufficient to excuse his
departure.

who CONTROL that committee, made it
plain that no bill would be reported

that would be satisfactory to the silver

So far the silver fight in the House
has been mostly between Democrats,
although several Republicans, among
Them Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Hender-
son, of Iowa, gave Representative
Halter, of Ohio, few disagreeable
minutes when he asserted that the con-
dition of the working man in England
was as much superior to the condition
of the working man in Ohio AS berth
in Heaven is t. cot in Purgatory
The free silver Democrats also prodded
Harter at several points of his speech.
Mr.. Harter said that Senator Sherman,
instead of being abused for the Sher
man law, ought 10 have the grateful
thanks Of the whole people, because he
got the best there was to be obtained
for the country out of bad situation.
But the portion of his speech that was
the most irritating to the silver men
was where he said: 1.-The working-men
are appealing to Congress for bread,
and the silver men are offering them
not stone but dynamite, and instead
of a serpent whole bundle Of them

The girl who scoops down with her racket
