NEVER in the history of The Republi-
can party in the State of Delaware was
there such unanimity of purpose as now.
All efforts will be concentrated to re-
deem the State and no legitimate efforts
will be lost to gain the end. The
cause of Republicanism IS the cause OF
the people. The dissatisfaction
which exists all over the country with
the present administration has effected
even our Delaware. Not only will
national affairs play great part of the
the campaign, but there will be scores
of men in this State who are beginning
to realize that the Democratic party in
this State have few barnacles who
absorb all that is going, men who seem
to think that the party exists for them.
The Democratic voters are beginning to
realize that the stuff which is poured
into their ears in every campaign about
the old Democracy etc., in the State, is
nothing more or less than a hue and
cry to keep in office the ring and its ad-
herents. They know that under Re-
publican adm inistration there was pros
perity which they have not under
Democratic rule.

COXEY is about forty years of age,

quarry and is breeder of finehorses. as
well as breeder of mischief. In
politics he is a Populist, formerly a
Greenbacker. In religion he is theo-
5ophist. The march of the Common.

leader, began on Easter Sunday, and
"on May l." says the General" we
shall enter Washington 500, 900 strong,
and on to the Capitol steps, demand of
Congress the enactment of two laws,
one of which is the appropriation of
$500, 100000 to be expended in the
construction of public roads," and hus
provide work and good pay for the
unemployed.
May 1, Coxey aud his army will
doubtless all three be in Washington

LITERARY NOTES.

Those who have read " hips That
Pass in the Night" will be interested
TO know that another book is folthcom-
ing from the sama gifted author, enti-
tied, In Varying Moods" and if the
'mo0d' is anything like the former
story it will meet with ready salps
"ShipS That Pass III The Night" has
been very popular both in England and
America, and desefvedly so. 1t is quite
out of the usual order, and not like
other books. It's religion, or rather the
lack Of it, may be adversely criticized
BY d9yotees TO dogma and creed, but the
beauty and purity of the story is
mafChless. Tie author, Beatrice Har-
rsden will soon arrive in this country,
and will spend the season in California.

The Democrats of the House profess

1t is not surprising that the Democrats

The impression left by the Represen-
tatives Of the National Workingmen's
Protective Tariff League-more than
1000 in number-who met in convel.-
tion here Saturday, has been decidedly
good. The Democrats of the Senate
Finance committee refused to hear
their personal protests against the tariff
bill, but they were compelled to hear
them read on the noor of the Senate by
Senator Quay, and the members of the
League occupied the galleries of the
Senate as pleased listeners. These men
and women did not come here to at
tempt to coerce Congress by threaten
ing t6remain in Washington until some
absurd demands were complied with, as
Coxey's army proposes to do, but merely
in the exercise of their rights as Amer
ican citizens to protest against being
deprived of their bread and butter by
vicious legislation; and having filed
their protest they qaietly returned to
their homes. They neither walked nor
came on free railroad transportation,
but on tickets purchased with the
money of the laborers they came to
represent. Nor did they ask donations
of food; they paid for everything they
got, as self-respecting people usually
do. Washington people will be glad to
see them again under happier circum-
stances.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, April 25th, 1884
The free-traders in the Senate have be-
come so discouraged, because of the re-
volt in their own party, the broad sides
poured into them by the Republicans
during the general dabate on the tariff
bill, which closed Tuesday, and
the unmistakable trend of public senti-
ment against the present bill, that they
have open negotiations with the revolt
ing Democratic Senators which, it is
believed, will end in their complete and
abject surrender. Republicans have
not, of course, been made acquainted
with the exact nature of t..ese negotia-
tions, but enough has leaked out to
cause many to believe that the income
tax is to be dropped and the present
tariff bill practically abandoned, some
thing like the old Mills bill being sub
stituted therefor.

Among the awful possibilities Of

OF woman few generations of exer-

As matters stand now the American
woman is satisfactory. There rises

who suggests that she could be i'm

deserves to be. However much manv
excellent women may want change

Whatever for cnange in the type of
American womanhood. Would the
exercise of the fanchise and partici-
patton in political affairs change this
type? Can we contemplate, for in
stance, the possibility of a woman
population made UP exclusively of
the Mrs. Lease variety, and feel an
unmlxed Joy at the prospectg Mabe
our women could go on caucusiup

Then again there might deuelop an

The woman suffrage matter for some

tending to be opposed to the absur

introduced a resolution in the House
directing the Secre AIRY of War to fur
nish camping groundgs a, d tents for
all organized bodies OF "laboling peo-

There are times when nothing but
plain talk will fill the bill, and Senator
Hawley thought one Of these times was
at hand when he replied to the extra
ordinary speech of Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, in favor of the PETER reso-
luton, which provides for the forma-
tion of new Senate committee to hear
the petitions of Coxey's army and SINH
lar organizations. Senator Hawley
paid particular attention to Mr.. Aliens
denunciation of the laws which prohibit
parades in Washington without permis-
sion of the authorities, and the march
ing of any organized body of men across
any portion of the Capitol grounds,
laws which Mr.. Hawley declared to be
right and proper and said would be
enforced to the letter. But the most
striking part of Mr.. Hawley's speech
was the conclusion in these words,
calmly and deliberately uttered: Il am
sorry to say, but l feel bound to say,
that the speech of the Senator from
Nebraska was one that would have
been received with tumultous applause

Cnnsed a sensntInn.

Nashville, Dec. 3.-There was SEN
sational scene in the criminal court this
morning when J. L. Watts, in behalf of
the Nashville bar, arose and presented
to the court copy of the resolutions
adopted in respect of the late chancel-
lor, Andrew Allison. Mr.. Watts paid
high tribute to the deceased, and then
requested that the resolutions be spread
upon the minutes. There was a pause,
and then Judge Anderson said that be-
fore the tragedy and subsequent devel-
ments he, in common with all others,
had believed Judge Allison beyond re-
proach. He liked to see the bar meet
and adopt resolutions Of respect to it's
dead members, and in the light of his
lifelong reputation these resolutions
were proper. But since his death there
had been grave charges made against
Judge Allison, rejecting not only on
him, but on the judiciary. II was not
for him to judge of the truth or falsity
of these charges, but the resolu tions
would not be entered on the minutes
till the charges had been refuted or dis
proven, as he sincerely hoped, for the
sake of the dead and of the bar, they
would be. He would receive and file
the resolutions, and when the charges
were refuted or disproven he would have
them entered on the minutes. It was
not for him to Judge; he would simply
await results.

Our correspondent says that the
teachings of the gospel are the cor
ner stone of the church, as we'll as of
all reform. We have only to say
upon this subject that we think the
mistake made, especially by the class
Of ministers to which we have re.
ferred, is in regarding the teachings
Of the gospel as having reference
chiefly to another world, rather than
to this. One who attends church IN
these latter days hears learned SER
mons upon sbstruss subjects relating
to theology, and to q future life, but
very little about the affairs of this
life, or how to make people better
and happier here. While this is
true, however, the remedy lies, not in
abuse, but IN an effort to educate the
ministry in common with the balance
Of mankind.
