THE TRANSCRIPT has had occasion
to use the Journal of the House of the
session of 1913 and has not been able to
secure copy. Upon investigation
we learn, and if we are mistaken in
our information we want to be cor
rected, that the Journal has never been
printed. The laws are out, the Senate
Journal is out and so is the revised
code, but no one knows anything of
the House Journal. This is a public
document, and the people have a
right to have it. We would like
to know from the proper officials
why the Journal has not been pub
lishee. 1t is fifteen months since the
Legislature adjourned.

inside history Of this Administration.
Mr.. Carlisle has known for some time
that the failure of the financial policy,
or rather the entire lack of financial
policy, of the Administration has
killed his political future, and he feels
doubfy sore because he has not been
allowed to be more than clerk to Mr..
G. He thinks that things would have
been better had he been allowed to con-
troll affairs connected with his depart
ment, as he expected lie would be when
he lift the Senate, where he could have
remained as long as Kentucky could
elect a Democratic Legislature, to en-
ter the cabinet. He has been disposed
to rebel for some time, and his letter
against the popgun tariff bills for
which Mr.. Cleveland was largely re-
sponsible, barring The free sugar bill,
which he did not want, was sent to
Senator Harris without Mr.. Cleve-
lands knowledge, and with the special
intention of blocking Mr.. Cleveland IS
efforts to help the Whitney coal syndi-
cate and the Carnagie iron ore syndi-
cate, and at the same time to help the
sugar trust, which may furnish salary
for Mr.. Carlisle when he eventually
has to leave the Cabinet.

There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incureble.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed'local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

only constitutional cure on the market.

The time-honored principal that only
men of fine intellect, broad culture.
high character and thorough know
ledge of the history and science of
government should be chosen to the
most important legislative body in the
world has been abandoned. We must
have practical business men, and
''smart politicians"
Consequently in place of Thurman
and Chase We have Cal. Brice, railroad
wrecker; as successor to Marcy, Sew
ard and Conklin we have Ed. Murphy,
brewer; in the seat Of Dayton and Fre-
linghuysen sits James Smith, ,Jr., sweat
leather manufacturer; and under the
broad toga of Reverdy johnson the ex-
page German creeps in and out.
The betrayal and defeat of true
Democratic tariff reform is due to these
four. They were elected by money, by
wire-pulling or by both.
Two OF them at least, are incapable
of writing their speeches. Each of
them sits in the Senate not to legis-
late for the welfare of the whole country
or to redeem Democratic pledges, but
to ''protect his interests" This is
what the "business mani goes to Con-

OUR CANDIDATES.

The Republican State Convention
held at Dover on Tuesday was marked
by the unusual degree of enthusiasm
and harmony in every phase of the
work Of the convention. Those leaders
Of the Democrat party who presumed
that the Republican party in this state
had spent its force in the great fight of
the campaign of 1892 will find them
selves woefully mistaken. There never
was time in the history of the party
when it's organization was more perfect,
and every member of it more deter
mined to put forth every effort, and to
use every honorable means to achieve a
great victory for good government
honestly administered.
1t was Old Sussex's turn to say who
of her sons should be the standard
bearer in the coming fight for those
principles which we believe, lie at the
very foundation Of self-government;
and well she performed that duty when
her solid delegation presented the name
of Joshua Fl. Marvil, of Laurel, as the
candidate for governor. Mr.. Marvil
was the architect of his own fortune:
Out of life's vicissitudes he has wrought
his own destiny, and from the position
of a poor boy, by his own Drawn and
brain, has brought to himself fortune,
and along with it, that which is inf
nitely better, a good name. He is an
honored member of the Methodist
church, and largely known in his
county for his unostentatious benevo-
lence.
Jonathan S. Willis, the candidate
for the National House of Representa-
tiyes, is known in every Hundred and
hamlet in the State. He is a man of
large brain and varied attainments:
He is one of the most attractive, all
around speakers, either in the pulpit,
on the lecturers platform or on the
stump, to be found in the State. He
will make an ideal member of Congress,
and represe Its more ability than any
man whom Delaware has honored with
that Office for many years.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.

DECLA1tAI1ON OF PHiNC1FLES.
Tho Republican platform reaf1irms
the faith of the Republican party in its
principles of protection to American
industries and the American laborer.
The Article on silver is sound; while
declaring for honest money, the party
demands the restoration of silver to a
parity in value with gold in its use as
money. for it is apparent to any stu
dent Of that great question that the
debtor class of people in this country
are suffering under great load be-
cause of the appreciation Of gold.
The attitude of the party on the
outrageous laws On our,statute books,
put there for avowed partisan purposes,
depriving citizens of their rights as
electors, vouchsafed to them under the
constitution, appeals to every honest
mans sense Of justice whether Demo-
crat or Republican.
The article on the question of Edu-
cation is right, and the open declara-
tion of the party against mixed schools
will set at rest that question which has
been the burden of the Democratic
heart for thirty years and always re-
sorted to in the last extremity, to keep
the faithful in line by exciting the
passions and prejudices of ignorant,
but well meaning men, by lying and
inflammatory harangues
The tribute which the party, in con-
vention assembled, paid to Senator
Higgins. was most graceful and mer-
itorious act, elected from united
party which largely owes its existance
to his self-deDial and toll through many
years Of doubt and storm. His splen-
did record in the u. s. Senate speaks
for itself and justly excites the pride of
his friends.

THE DIARY OF A SUMNER GIRL.

July 23-I write it humbly even
with modification, but the time has
come when l welcome the appearance
of man with. positive joy. Perhaps
it would not have been SD had the man
been anyone else, but Mr.. Van Broom
returned Unexpectedly to his mothers
house yesterday and never was SO glad
to see anyone in my life. She wasn't
glad though. When We came in from
our solemn afternoon drive, during
which she had told me about the So:
ciety for Elevation of the Working
Girls, there he sat on the piazza. His
dear mamma managed to hide her nat
ural rapture very effectively.
"Why, Bert" she said, sharply:
''you were not due until two weeks
from today
II knowlit," he said, laughing and
kissing hei; but was very homesick."
Then he looked at me.
81 believe you have met Miss Lake
water,' said his mother, frigidly, and
Mr.. Van Broom, assured her that lie
had.
The prospect has frightened immeas-
urably. There is good deal more
noise than there was in the house. The
butler has grown lettle less like a
craven image. He-I don't mean the
butler-had lot of new books sent up
to my room. Flowers have come also.
People are dropping in already to see
him, and somehow he manages that
unmanageable mother of his in such a
way that she can't turn every CONVEX
sation towards philanthropy. There
is to be big, gay dinner party soon,
and he has even induced her to give an
out door affair.
Il want to see you as queen rose of
the rosebud garden of girls" he said
to me when he related the strategy by
which he succeeded in getting his
mother to give the show. And | was
tongue tied like any rustic! Some
thing is the matter with me.
Among the people " no dropped IN at
tea time was Florence Benton. She is
pale and worn looking and has cryni-
cal little smile all the time. Still size
is good deal more attractive than
girls who don't look worn and crynical.
1 suppose it is because she seems tx
perienced to a degree that most of us
are seeming TO be. After all, expel-
ience is more fascinating than fresh-s
ness.
YOU'RE in great luck" she said to
me, with her draWl. "Mosf leople

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. August 22d, 1884,
Mr.. Cleveland was fgurativcly given
slap in the face when the Senate
adopted the resolution offered by Muir
ply, of New York, declaring it to be
the sense IF the Senate that no further
tariff legislation should be considered
at t1is session, and that it was advisa-
BILE to adjourn at the earliest possible
moment, and the free traders of the
House are accusing the Democratic
steering committee of the Senate Of
having b lncoed them by making prom.
ises concerning the passage of the pop
gun tariff bill which the adoption of
this resolutson makes it impossible for
them to carry out. All of the Repub-
licans present, PETER, Kyle and Stuart,
and the following Democrats voted for
the Murphy resolution; Blanchard and
Caffery of Louisiana, Gibson and Cor
man of Maryland, Murphy Of New
York, Roach of Dakota and Smith of
New Jersey,
Senator Sherman took the floor after
the adoption of the Murphy resolution
to make few remarks. which he cor
rectly characterized as "plaintiff." He
told the Democrats of their numerous
blunders which included from SO to 100
important errors in tariff bill, now in
the hands of Mr., Cleveland, one of
which that for the free entry of alco-
hol used in the arts-would if uncor-
rected, cost the government from
twenty to thirty millions of dollars in
lost revenue annually. He also had
sharp word or two to say about the
unusual extent to which the encroach-
ments of the executive upon The legis-
lative branches of the government had,
been pushed during the present session
of Congress, and in conclusion ex-
pressed his belief that the best thing
to be done was to go home and await
the verdict of the voters before further
meddling with the tariff. To show |
that be was in earnest Mr.. Sherman
has himself gone home NOT to return |
until the-opening Of the next session Of |
Congress.

Afiernoon Session

In the afternoon W. j. Curtis, Assistant
General Manager of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, addressed the convention on
the same subject as Mr.. Smurr.
East OF the mountains, he said
they do not understand the necessi-
ties OF the growers of California as
well as the Southern Pacific ComDanv
does, and, as MIR. Smurr had said. the
latter was trying to arrange schedule
last year for their benefit, but the strike
defeated their intentions.
The connecting and parallel lines of the
ROAD are in the hands of receivers and mo

responsible for rates and low prices.
But speaking for the Southern Pacific. il
seems plain that company cannot do
business at so much lower rates as would
be drop IN the bucket to growers and
sustain itself. 1t has been obliroi To Iii
vide the rates of transportation with the
Eastern roads over which its FREIGHT
passes. The wages that 1t paws to en-
ployes are much higher than arc paid
elsewhere. Fuel for running the road is
three times as expensive here as for East
ern roads ana tor many of them the total
expense of operating is less than the eX-
pense OF the Southern Pacific for fuel
alone.
The cost of snowsheGs is enormous md
each year as would build a hundred miles
OF road III the Mississippi VALLEY. Ii
tho Eastern roads had TO pay a like
amount Tor fuel they could not make both
ends meets. Ii the Southern Pacific had
the advantage OF cheap fuel 1t would
make Il difference OF sou, 900, 600 TO il. 1t
Is a costly road over the mountains and
requires an immense expenditure of
power to carry a train to the Summit, as
much, III fact. as would carry it $50 miles
Oh the level. Tho average cost of moving

report.

cost SO much more to move than the other
cars, had been sent East with dried fruit.
