WE print on our local page, the law
against the sale of cigarettes in this
State. It is barely possible that some
of our merchants are not cognizant of
this law and its penalties, ard for their
sake as well as for The protection of our
boys we urge them to read it carefully.
That this law is being violated every
day, every one is aware, and long
suffering community is at last ready
to see that the law is enforced 10 the
letter. The evil effects of cigarettes
are too we'll known to need reiteration.
Physicians and teachers agree as to the
physical and mental deterioration of
these who are addicted to their use. Ii
the boys andyoung men knew how they
are ratedby reputable business men. and
how repulsive they are to people of true
refinement and culture, they would not
be so flee 70 puff their vile poison into
The face Of every passer-by. Cigarettes
are debasing mentally, morally and
physically, and the increase in our
crop of imbt Giles is tracable TO this
source. Oar state has had law for
over year that. if enforced, will save
the boys from this evil practice. Let
the law be felt.

the rise of the college woman's gym
nasium. Trainers from Yale and
Harvard were inveigled into lecture
courses; Smith, Vassar, Wellesley,
Pennington and Ogantz girls went to
hear them, and after these atheletic
matinees grew the physical cul-
ture fad which has eliminated kissing,
headaches, nerves, ,fainting spells and
hand shaking to degree. The more
tenderly reared girls were trained at
home, but for one private pupil thin
the physical culturist has to-day.
Mothers who had music rooms in the
homes of their girlhood have gym
nasiums now for their daughters, and
instead of piano teacher, an athlete
from riding academy, medical bath
or physical institute comes three
times week to put them in condi
ton. Less study is made of muscular
development than of personal cul-
ture and animal perfection. Diet
rest, recreation, association are prac-
tieally considered. Bathing and
massage are taken scientifically
In high or low life things are dos Q
differently. In one instance the girl
goes to ball with her parents or
her brother and maid, She has her
own carriage, and the moment she
wraps she is all ready. Instead of
going to the dressing room and prink-

is calm. She has repose She has
powder on herface-lots ofit-to keep
her cool, and even if she did not con-
slider kissing bad form it would annoy
her to haye her complexion mottled.
In the greeting of friends most OF
the hand shaking is done by the old
folks. Men don't wish to have
their young lady daughters or their
their wives shake hand with every
body. A bow is much better; it shows

A UNITED PARRY.

Never in the history of the Repub-
lican party in this State does it enter
campaign so free from internal dis
sensions and so harmonious as it does
in the coming contest. The party will
present solid front 10 the enemy. One
of the great troubles with the party in
the past has been its internal contests.
Not so to-day. OF course there may
be little kicking, but it will amount
to nothing. The leaders and the rank
and fle are in this campaign for victory
and will win; because this election
shall be a fair one. Public sentiment
has been awakened all over this coun-
try'in regard to the high hi nded mea-
sures which the Democracy has pur-
sued to carry its point. The history

the people. and the cry goes up all over
the land for free and fair elections.
This sentiment prevails in Delaware.
The high handed measures pursued by
the Democrats in the past will not be
tolerated. All he Republicans ask is
that the election s',all be fair; that all
legal votes shall be cast, and that all
illegal ones shall be kept out and then
fair count. This will mean Repub.
lican victory. Democracy not only
nationally, but we believe in this State

PATRIOTIsMis stronger than partisan
ship, as is shown in the unanimity with
which men of all parties defend the
Presidents action ip maintaining law
and order. Thoughtful men every
where realize that we are passing
through the greatest crisis we have ever
known since the foundation of the gov
ernment. The rights of capita and labor
are Insignificant compared to the con-
fiict between rebellion and government
which threatens the very foundation
of our national life and institutions.
1tis no time for party spirit, and that
man who yields to the temptation to
make political capital out of such a
crisis is unworthy of his citizenship.
1t is TO the credit of the partisan press

macy of law and government.

1t is clear that ths Democratic mem.

vestigated the sugar trust scandal are
in no hurry to get their report before
the enate, having failed to get either
Senators Lodge, Davis or Allen to
agree to a meaningless support that
would practically dismiss the whole
matter. The Republican Senators
propose making report that will be in
keeping with the evidence taken, and
owing to the extreme nature of some
of the conclusions drawn by Senator
Allen he will probably make separate
report devoted largely TO showing that
the money which the sugar trust peo.
pie admitted having contributed to
Demociotic state csmmittees was ac-

exonerate Secretary Carlisle from any
blame for having at. the request of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. July 18th, 1884,
Republicans in tie Senate and House
to a man support Mr.. Cleveland in the
stand he has taken against anarchy and
in favor of law and order, but, to
their shame be it recorded, there are
xuite number of Democrats in Con-
gress who stand with the protesting
Democratic and populist governors
against the action of the AdminiStra-
tion. Among his opponents are, of
course, the most Of the extreme
states rights Democrats, and the POpu-
lists, whose public utterances have
done more 10 encourage the spread of
anarchy in this country than all other
causes combined. The question Of the
rightfulness or wrongfulness of the
original strikers against the Pullman
company became secondary consider
alton with every body the moment the
free passage Of the U. S. mails was
obstructed and the authority of U. S,
courts; defied.
The U. S. government has nothing
whatever to do with the strikes of
employees against individuals or cor
porations, but it has everything to do
with the rights Of the people of the
several states to communicate with
and to Go business with each other at
will, and Mr.. Cleveland would have
neglected his sworn duty had he done
less than he has done. 1t isn't the
rights Of the strikers that are at stake,
but the very life of Republican institu-
tions in America. Fortunately the
number of men in Congress who are
opposed to the position of the:admin-
istration is too small to be a factor in
any Congressional action that may be-
come necessary, and as long as Mr..
Cleveland stands for the preservation
of law and order and maintaining the
dignity and authority of the United
S at, $ government he can count upon
the support of Congress and nine.tenths
of the people, regardless of their po-
litica1 opinions. There is no politics
in the present situation; it is Ameri-
ism against anarchy.

Then he would have been considered
merely as man with questionable
taste. But since he made that so-called
personal explanation, and attack upon
the Washington correspondents, he is
considered as blackguard and a-well
call it a little unbalanced.
