fragrant crime against civilization, and
is calculated to injure the south more
than many Conferences of southern
gentlemen can benefit it. The victims
were in the custody of the sheriff who
was conveying them to Jail, they being
suspected of belonging to a gang of
incendiaries. They were handcuffed
ard chained together, and in this de-
fenceless condition, at midnight ona
lonely road mob of fifty armed and
masked men surrounded them and
literally riddled them with bullets,
numbering them in cold blood. Such
instances of lawlessness are too fire.

HIGGINS AT OGDENSBURG.


The Press learns with pleasure that
Senator Higgins of Delaware has ac-
cepted an invitation to speak at the
Ogdensburg Fair on September Goth
on 1.-The Relations of Canada and the
United States as affected by the Dem
ocratic Tariff" The Republican sena-
tor from Delaware is thoroug hly quail
fed to deal with the subject. He
has proved during his career in Con-
gress that the people of his state made
no mistake in preferring him to the
Mugwump free trade Bayard dynasty
and, while representing small COM
monwealth, he has held distin guished
position in the debate and counsel of
the National Legislature. Senator
Higgins will enlighten the citizens of
our northern boundry as the serious
injury brought upon them by the DEM
ocratic tariff law in exposing them to
the disastrous competition of their
Canadian neighbors. The border dis
tricts cannot fail to suffer keenly and
directly from free lumber and other
features Of the Democratic tariff favor
able to Canada, and the farmers and
wage earners of Northern New York
will, it is to be feared, have costly and
practical reason to know what Demo-
cratic supremacy means in loss and
damage to American industries and
American homes.

THE: Erery Evening celebrates the
enactment Of the new tariff law by
reducing its price to one cent, which
is quite consistent with the "tariff
reform" policy. Having reduced the
peoples purchasing power to nothing
OF thereabouts, it is certainly right
to reduce the price of commodities; but
on newspaper business principles there
Is no consistency in it. 1t does not
mean that because of the business boom
~ that came with the new tariff law,
the EUery Evening is being published at
one half the former cost, nor does 1t
indicate a philanthropic motive, or
sympathy tcith the masses, that leads the
publisher to give two cent paper for
one cent. 1t simply means that the
Eusry EDening needed boost" and
the Democrat party needed campaign
literature, and the two birds are killed
with one stone. We believe in calling
things by their right name. There is

pressed himself: 81 think President
Cleveland the greatest statesman in
the coultry. "-NeD Era.
Every one. who read the above in our

sey never said it, and to prove the en-
tire falsity Of the statement, Mr.. Rice,
of our town, made inquiry in personal
letter to Mr.. Massey, and We think it
due him that we publish the reply,
which, through the courtesy of the
recipient, we are enabled to give in
full.
E. B. RICE, ESQ.
Middletown, Delaware,
MY DEAR SIR:-Your valued favor
of this, date enclosing newspaper
clipping" is just received, and l hasten
to acknowledge it and thank you for
your kindly interest. This affords
striking illustration of the ease where
with, either designedly or otherwise,
ones expressions may be naisquoted and
distorted. While l do not recall the
''social conversation" to which the
publication refers, 1t is but just to state
that, Notwithstanding the radical and
irreconcilable differences bet,oeen the Uie,cs
OF. the President and those entertained bg
the ,oriter as to the fundame ntal ques-
tons constituting the issue betUeen the
parties, the courage and determine
tion he has evinced in pursuing his
convictions have inspired my respect,
and l have on several occasions given
expression to this sentiment. Whatever
of criticism or responsibility such an
expression rightfully evokes have no
disposition to evade, as have no de-
sire to be the victim Of a partisan pre-
judice so binding and unreasonable as
neither to be able to discuss admirable
characteristics in political opponent
or to cOncede them where I believe
them to exist. I did not, however, make
use of the expression attributed to me,
and do not endorse it. In view of the
well known opinions of the President
in opposition to the continuance of the
Protective policy" under which we
have made such marvellous progress
and development and attained unex.
ampled prosperity, coupled ,Oith has onais-
sion to veto the present tariff bill which
is directly in conflict with those opinions,
you and may we'll find in such omis-
sions, the most conclusive evidence (if
any were needed) as to the imperative
necessity of maintaining the policy we
have both so uniformly and earnestly
believed in and advocated, and thereby
preserve our ''home market" for our
own products, as we'll as guard the
rights and interests of American wage
earners. Very truly yours,
GEORGE V. MASSEY.

PRESERVING TIME.

Said Mr.. Baldwin Apple
To Mrs. Bartlett Pear,
You're grow ing very plump. madam,
And also very fair.
"And there is Mrs. Clingstone Peach,
So mellowed by the heat,
Upon my word she really looks
Quite good enough to cat.
"And all the Misses O. abapple
Have blushed so rosy red
That very soon the farmers wife
To pluck them will be led.
"Just see the Isabellas;
They're growing so apace
That they really are beginning
To get purple in the face.
"Our happy time is over,
For Mrs. Green Gage Plum
Says she knows unto her sorrow
Preserving time has come"
"Yes," said Mrs. Bartlett Pear,
"Our day is almost DER,
And soon we shall be sm offering
In syrup by the score"
And before the month was ended,
The fruits that looked so fair
Had vanished from among the leaves.
And the trees were stripped and bare.
They were all OF them in pickle,
Or in some dreadful scarpe;
''I'm cider" sighed the apple;
"I'm jelly" cried the grape.
They were all in jars and bottles,
Upon the shelf arrayed,
And in their midst poor Mrs. Ounce,
Was turned to marmalade.

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in strictly medition sense, in
three important particulars, Wis: first
IN the combination Of remedial agents
used: second in the proportion in
which they are mixed; third in the
process by which the active curative
properties of the preparation are Sc
cured. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar to
its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes
cures hitherto unknown.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells be
story. What Hood Sarsaparilla does
for others is the reason for confidence
that it is the medicine for you.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, September 5, 1884,
Does Mr.. Cleveland wish the Demo-
Gratis to lose control of the House?
He has certainly done a number Of
things recently which indicate that he
does, and quite number of the shrew-
dest observers of things political at the
National Capitol have stated their op.
inions to be that Mr.. Cleveland would
be glad to see either the Republicans
control, or the Populists hold the bal
ance of power in the next House. His
last act before leaving Washington was
to appoint a long list of postmasters,
three-fourths of whom were opposed by
the Democratic Congressman from
their districts; thus apparently adding
all he could to the difficulties already
being experienced by the aforesaid
Democratic Congressman. He is also
at the bottom of the row in the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, which will probably result in
that Committee not sending out any
tariff documents at all, leaving every
Democratic candidate free to decide
for himself whether he will defend or
abuse the sugar trust tariff law.
The theory Of those who believe this
to be Mr.. Cleveland's position is that
he had quite enough Democratic legis-
lation and wishes to see Congress in
position where it can do nothing for
The next two years. except to pass the
regular appropriation bills. He hopes
BY that time that the people win have. |
lOrgotten the disastrous first tw o years

OUR GENERAL ASSE SEMBLYMEN.
The men whom the Republican party
of New Castle county names to-day,
we believe, will be our lawmakers in
the next General Assembly, and it is
imperative that wise choice is made!
We need our best men in our State
Legislature. Strong men! Men not
only Of mental but moral calibre! Men
who represent the best thought and
the best interests of the common
wealth.
There never was time when there
was broader field for the true patriot
than in the civil service Of our State
to-day. 1t is a false and unworthy
idea that any man is too good to serve
the State, or that politics is too corrupt
for honest men to enter. 1t is because
honest men have been weak and have
lgiven the affairs of the State and Ma
zion into the hands of mere political
obbers whose fitness for office is mea-
pred by their ability to buy votes and
control legislatures, and whose lack
State craft and knowledge of polti-
social and economical science has
led statesmen to tremble for the
ln's veal, that politics has be-
corrupt. These are the men
I'VE would like to see out of job |
\ ical and to4his,end we call upon
all good citizens to individually 20 into
politics and stay there.
There are great interests at stake in |
Delaware calling for the counsel and |
guidance of our wisest Statesmen. The
principle of self government itself is in
protection of citizens in their
most sacred right of franchise; the
question of levying and collecting our
revenues; the further developement of
our public schools; these are all vital is
sues which can only be reached through
legislative enactment, and it is
folly t o hope for any great moral re-
forms until these questions are settled.
