A SCOTCH VERDICT.

On Tuesday the Euery Evening takes
up column in the attempt to prove
that the attitude of the Democratic
Party bosses and Attorney General
Nicholson on the State Detective ques-
tion is the same since the death Of
Gov. Marvil as it was before. The re-
suit of the Euery Evening's efforts at
best is the old Scotch verdict-guilty
but not proven.
The facts are: Governor Marvil in
quired of the Attorney General his
opinion of the right of the executive
to appoint the State Detectives and
was told that 1.-THE statute is not suffi-
ciently explicit" and he recommended
an amendment that the appointments
be made on tthe address of the Attor-
ney General" That translated by
the political bosses meant division
of the spoils, and bills providing the
Governor name one and the Attorney
General the other, virtually SO, were
introduced in the Legislature. The
proposition was: "we will divide; one
Republican and one Democrat. Gov

The friends of Mrs. Florence Maybrick,
the American woman who is confined in a
London Jail, sentenced to penal servitude
for life on the charge of poisoning her hus-
band, are again making strenuous efforts

been one of her staunchest supporters dur
ing the five or six years of her imprison-
ment.
Rev. s. H. Phillips. of Durham, Pa. one
of the best known reformed clergyman of
eastern Pennsylvania, died on Wednesday,
from pin prick. One of his young lady par

lowed. The leg was amputated, but he
only lived few days after the ordeal. He
was 81 years old.
A little girl was born to President and
Mrs. Cleveland, at Buzzards Bay, last Sun
day afternoon, and she is undoubtedly at
tracting more attention than any other
"new woman" in the land. Horoscope has
been consulted as to her future, and if all
it says be true, she has much to thank her
her lucky stars for. She is to be beautiful
clever and healthy, a counterpart of her
lovely mother.
Bishop Potter, the Head of the Episco-
pal diocese of New York, has taken up his
abode in the slums of the city for one
month, having taken charge of the Cathe-
dral Mission during the absence of its re-
gular pastor, who is having vacation. The
Mission is located in one of the most dense
ly populated districts of the city, and in
great contrast to the Bishops residence in
Lafayette Place. He will perform all the
offices of the regular minister, and will
have chance to learn much of life among
the lowly.

DID NOT ANSWER.

The NeU Era has an opinion about
the special constables but the Euery
Euening is as close as clam on the
questions submitted by the TRAM
SCRIPT last week. 1t is only another
proof of the fraud of the claim set up
by Euery Evening that favors economi-
cal government.
But the Neao Era does not answer
the main question, the question that
interests the tax payers of New Castle
county. 1t was plainly stated. 1t
was: "Dees it (the Ne,o Era) endorse
the payment of their (the special con-
stables') claims3" 1t is timely now to
speak on that question, and is imma-
terial whether or not the Ne,o Era was
"disfavorable" originally to the ap-
pointment of deputy marshalls and
special constables. Shall ten thousand
dollars be paid by the Levy Court Of
the county to the worst element to be
found in Wilmington politics? Does
the Neto Era favor the payment OF
those claimsP It should have an in
fluence in its party and should exert it
now in favor Of the tax payers.

quite fine display of fireworks in the
evening. An effort will be made next
year to have fine display of fireworks, by

ernOr Marvil dies and the Democrats
refused to carry out the proposition.
The detectives could have been named
in the bill. Oil No. And now Mr..
Nicholson sees great necessity for two
Democratic detectives for the tax
payers to pay, and he advises that the
Governor may appoint. Other Attor-
neys General got along without two
politicians fastened on the state as
detectives but the Legislature of 1891
created over 200 offices for the Governor
to fll and the tax payers to pay and
Mr.. Nicholson endorses these two, and
presumably all the rest, and though
the statute providing for their appoint
ment is very doubtful as he acknowl-
edges, he advises, since the men are to
be Democrats, that the Governor shall
appoint. The Every Evening, as usual, 3,
made a lame defence and produced a

SENATOR QUAY AND THE DEMO-
GRATIS.

SENATOR QUAY AND THE DEMO-
Gratis.
If there has been a public man
abused by the Democrats of the country
that man is Matthew Stanley Quay,
Junior Senator from Pennsylvania.
He was chairman of the National Re
publican Committee in 1888 and is
magnificent organizer. His campaign
was successful, and that alone is suf-
ficent to condemn him in the eyes of
the Democratic editors of Delaware,
but not of the intelligent masses of
Democrats. Politicians are as neces-
sary as preachers or physicians, nor
should they be abused because they are
opposed politically to other parties,
any more than should the Episcopal
ians and Methodists of this town unite
to abuse and SANDER the Catholics
and Presbyterians of the town.
AT the present time Senator Quay,
who has been accused of being at the
head of the party machine in Pennsyl-
vania, is being opposed by Governor
Hastings and his administration for
the craftsmanship of the State Com
mittee. Of course Republicans regret
the differences within the party but
where party is so strong it is natural
to have them.
The TRANSCRIPT refers to this mat
ter merely to point out fact and to
seek an explanation. Evidently Mr..
Quay is as much boss to-day as he
ever was and his past political sins
have not grown less in quantity or in
quality, yet the Democratic press of
Pennsylvania is with him, is really
fighting his battles. Why is this2
Certainly it is an interesting question
for the Democratic editors of Delaware
to consider. A dozen theories for it
might be advanced but they would all
be speculative and not at all creditable
to the Democratic papers of Pennsyl-
vania. Why this endorsement of the
wicked ~ Quay? Who will inform
us?

WHEAT AND THE TARIFF.

If it was the "Wilson Bill" as our
Democratic exchanges intimated few
weeks ago, that was running wheat up
in price, "75 cents with the prospect of
dollar" is it not the ''Wilson Bill''
that is now running it down at the rate
of two or three cents day? It must
be, but how strange that bill which
never became law could do so great
things. We all know there is no Will
son Bill. 1t was layed out by the
Democratic Senators. Perhaps it is
the Gormon- -Brice Bill that is now the
law which is putting wheat down.
We give this pointer to our friends, the
enemy. Wicked German! Selfish
Brice! Why did they do it? May be
it is not German though who did it
and he is not responsible for the falling
price of wheaton he may be the next
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency. But if it is not he, who is it?
We can guess. 1t is the mckinley
Bill" and Scar Reed" and the "Force
Bill'' including the $4,000 to be paid
by the farmers of New Castle county
to the especial Constables." 1t takes
lots of wheat to pay that 'bill," hence
the price of wheat goes down. Or
should that create demand and make
it 60 up? We are p1zzled. Will some
one tell US about wheat and the tariff?
The falling price of wheat is, SER
iously, great disappointment to farm
ers. If they would investigate the laws
of supply and demand; if they would
study the effect of free trade and pro-
lection upon the prices of their pro-
ducts, and agree to send from their
own ranks the most trusted and best
posted men to Congress, they might
hope to better their condition. Della
ware has farmer in the lower house
of Congress-, and we are sure Hon.
Jonathan S. Willis will be glad to hear
the views of any and every intelligent
farmer upon the needs Of the country
to benefit Agriculture. Communicate
with him privately or through the
TRANSCRIPT, and the views of men of
all parties are promised a respectful
audience.

THE FARMERS MISTAKE.


He makes quite number, possibly,
but the one that cost him most is let
ting others attend too muchIto his busi-
ness, the business of governing the
country. The farmers constitute about
three-fourths of the population, or so
staticians tell US, and upon them the
material prosperity of the country
largely depends. They should know
what the country needs, and should
be more largely represented in every
law-making body. The country would
be better off if such we're the case. Rep
resentative Talbert, of South Carolina,
recently made the following statement
of the comparative number Of lawyers
and farmers in Congress.
Sin the Fiftieth Congressicut of 333
members, there were 233 lawyers and
1S farmers. Here lawyers outvoted
farmers 13 times.
In the Fifty first Congress there we're
1856 members, of which 235 were law
yers and 12 farmers. Here lawyers
outvoted farmers 10 times.
In the Fifty second Congress, 335
members; 223 were lawyers and IA far
mers. Lawyers outvoted farmers 16
times.
And in the Fifty third Congress, 356
members; 22S we're lawyers and about
II farmers. Lawyers outvoted far
mers IA times, and in the Senate, in
proportion"
Is it any wonder that farmers COM
plain at the unfair proportion ? Yet
they deserve simply to be laughed at.
If they have three to one in the popu-
latiou of the country and then elect
representatives from other callings and
walks in life to make the laws, II, 13,
IA, II and 10 to /, they have but them
selves to blame.
The same is true, only in a less de-
gree, of State legislation. While the
farmers have larger proportion of the
members of the General Assembly, the
lawyer politician and lobbyist endeav-
ors at the nominating coventions to
get his man put on the ticket,
the man he can influence. This
should not be, and the intelligent far
mers should see to it that it shall cease.
One session of General Assembly of
intelligent farmers in this State whom
the writer could name, an equal num-
ber of Republicans and Democrats,
would do more to advance the material
prosperity Of the State than all the leg
islation of the past thirty years.
There are farmers and farmers.
The men who own themselves polit-
ically could only compose such Leg
islature. The reason we do not have
such is because the farmers do not will
it. They are content to pay heavy tax
es and grumble. Strange but true.

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.

Recently the TRANSCRIPT suggested
that the Seaford Ne,DS either should
prove the editor of the TRANSCRIPT a
"rogue, ''as hecharged,o out of respect
to its readers should stop abuse and use
arguments. Last week it used up third
of a column in reply and said nothing. In
the same article we inquired its opin-
of the action of the Kent county reg
istrars last October through whose
manipulation it is now Governor Wat
son, or as the Democratic editors refer
to him "acting Governor Watson"
This is what the NeaCs said about that

Brandywine Village, Hockessin and
Marshallton. They claim that they
are thus going through the State to
talk and scatter single tax literature.
There are those who believe their
coming is nuisance in as much as
their mission aries have SO far but
preached the doctrine of discomfort
and to array labor against capital. If
this is true, we owe it to the Demo-
cratic editors who have spread the
idea that the people of Delaware are
subject to ''intiuences.
The single takers have q complaint
against Middletown especially and say
hard things Of US. Their first night
here they gathered big crowd on the
plaza, and the business people very
properly complained that the crowd on
the sidewalks interfered with trade.
Since then the curb-stone orators have
been allowed the use of vacant lot a
block from the centre of the town but
that has not been to their liking, as the
crowd will not follow them, having
evidently gotten enough the first night,
hence the hard words against Middle
town.
Very different was the reception
given the missionaries who went to
Newark. The single tax paper, Justice,
thus tells of the way they converted
the editor of the Every Evening:
s'They 1.-THE single taxers) called on
Mr.. L. l. Handy, of the State Demo-
cratic Committee. They stayed with
Mr.. Handy until time for the meeting
which they held on the main thorough
fare with about Is to 100 people pres
ent. Both gentlemen explained the
single tax. After the meeting they
were again taken in charge by Mr..
Handy, taken to the leading social
club of the town and introduced to the
members. They were also entertained
over night by Mr.. and Mrs. Handy,
both of whom treated them handsome
ly, for which they desire to express
their grateful appreciation"
Two of the gentlemen paid their
respects to the TRANSCRIPT office and
left some literature last Saturday even
ing. They are pleasant takers and
certainly have right to their views,
but whether their views are correct
the people must decide. Anybody can
find fault. All can pull down while
but few can build up. 1t is easy to
say what should not be, but difficult
to prove what should be. "Single tax"
makes great promises-to those who
now have nothing. 1t would certainly
disturb values, and that is what the
advocates evidently desire. To show
our readers how great promises the
advocates of single tax can make, we
give space to a communication on our
first page. 1t beats the promises of the
old-time politicians all hollow. 1t may
be that Editor Handy was studying
this phase of it while entertaining its
disciples. We were advised that single
tax is the coming idea and that it
would tie the making of the TRAN
SCRIPT to fall into line. And we were
told also that prominent Wilmington
daily is about to become convert and
an advocate. This was an argument
against our ever being follower of
Henry George, for considering recent
developments and acknowledgements
we must be careful of our bed fellows
political.

THE SINGLE TAX.

The followers of Henry George have
resolved to take Delaware by storm.
Our friends, the Democratic editors,
have advertised far and near that the
State is purchasable politically, and
the single takers in looking around for
convenient field for operation, have
pitched upon Delaware, and they pro-
pose to take it on wheels. Their mis-
sionaries all appear to take to the s'bike"
and leather leggins. Every Saturday
they come down the State from Phila-
delphia and Wilmington, and last Sat-
urday they advertised meetings for
Wilmington, Middletown, New Castle,
