ANNOUNCING A NEW EDITOR.
Having sold the TRANSCRIPT to
McKendree Downham, Esq.,, the pre-
sent management of this paper ceases
with this issue.
We commend Mr.. Downham to our
readers and patrons as very worthy
successor, and bespeak for him the
same liberal patronage and cordial sup
port that have been accorded to US,
with such unstinted measure. He is a
Delawarean, indigenous to the soil, an
experienced newspaper man, and a
gentleman. Under his management
we predict for the TRANSCRIPT a
broader sphere and a more brilliant
career than at any period hitherto.
The politics of the paper remains
the same. The work of grace wrought
in it little more than two years ago
was genuine and thorough, and having
been soundly converted to Republican
principles, it will continue in that
faith.

THE Republicans of Delaware chose
their Senator before they elected their
Legislature, and the will of the great
majority Of the party throughout the
State to-day is as strong as ever in
favor of re-electing Mr.. Higgins to
the seat he has so ably and honorably
filled for the past six years. Those
who have the real interest and future
existence of the patty at heart, are
now ready to forego all matters of per-
sonal fealty, and unite upon the man
whose election should never have been
questioned. National as we'll as state
and party interests have claims that can
no longer be ignored, and We have
every reason to believe that the Re-
publican majority will elect Senator
Higgins as his own successor.

LENTEN SEASON.

Originally Lent was a religious o b.
servance kept exclusively by the Re-
man Catholic and Protestant Episco-
pal denominations, but of late it has
become one of fashions edicts, whose
decree of ''good form" is more uni
versally recognized than any church
canon.
So to-day society is arrayed in sack
cloth and ashes. To be sure tho sack
cloth is of tile very softest fabrics, in
the most beautiful and becoming
shades of coloring and cut after the
most fashionable styles, but it is sack
cloth nevertheless, metaphorically
speaking, and for forty days the fash
ionables will abstain from the usual
frivolities and amusements with which
they are wont to kill time, and, to that
extent will keep the Lenten season as
vigorously as those who fast and pray.
Let us hope that the time set aside for
Christening both body ard spirit, and
the notifying of worldly vanitIes and
desires will no. be spent in vain. The
world needs turning aside for a sea
son of prayer for longer period than
40 days.

Mr.. CLEvELAND's second Cabinet
held together just two years. The
resignation of Post Master General
Bissell makes the first breake His
retirement was occasioned by the con-
viction that his law practice needed
him more than his country. Now, if
a similar spirit of patriot SIN could be
brought to bear upon Gresham, Carlisle
or even Grover himself, the country
would bear up under it, Tor any Of the
trio could be spared even better than
Mr.. Bissell. Prof. Wilson of "The Will
son Bill' fame is named as Mr..
Bissell's successor. He will be out Of
a job after noon on Monday, and an
Office Of such dignity and Importance
as Post Master General will be some
compensation for the honors he failed

have the whipping-post established in
New York for wife-beaters. We have
the whipping-post in Delaware but not
for wife-beaters, possibly because we
de not have the wife-beaters. Now
since New York has the wife-beaters
and Delaware the whippiny-post is
there no way by which deal could be
effected to bring the two together, for
why stain the record of two States
with SO foul a blemish? If there is
any man who, more than another,
should be 1ogged officially we think it
is the wife-beater, and while we have
never favored the whipping post in
our own little State, we would have no
scruples whatever in transferring it to
New York if she wants it. We think
however that whipping-posts and wife
beaters were both bet ter abolished. If
Mr.. Gerry thinks that "fogging in
Delaware" keeps our prisons clear of
offenders he should take run down
this way. There is no reformatory
element in pillory or whipping-post,
and punishment for crime that is sim
ply retributive fails of the real oobject
of punishment.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Ladies' Home Journal in it's
artistic covers of new design, comes to
us full of the suggestions of Spring
time. The table of contents embraces
evel ything that women folk like to
read. Under the caption of "Mrs
Shakespeare" Or. Rolfe gives all that
is known of the life, love, courtship,
etc., of the wife of the Bard of Avon.
The family and home life of "Bill
Nye" is graphically portrayed by Au-
gusta Howard. In 1.-The Unit of So
ciety," DR.. Parkhurst is still paying
his respects to woman kind, but is
needing the warning to handle the sui
ject with care. The charming little
story 1.-The Minister of the World" is
concluded and very satisfactorily too.
The various departments are each at
tractive in their own way. The editor
is again Sat Home" with his full page
of editorial reflections. This maga-
zine is sold at any news stand for only
10 cents.
In McClure's for this month Mr..
Glads tone gives an article on "The
Lords Day" in which he shows the
spiritual intention of keeping the first
instead of the seventh day, and also
gives the true standard of Sabbath OBJ
observance. The article is interspersed
with portraits of the author taken at
different periods of his life. Other at
fractions of this number are story by
Conan Doyle, and also sketch of
travel over Alpine difficulties. Miss
Tarbell gives her fifth paper on Ma
poleon BOneparte, in which the story
of his divorce from Josephine and his
marriage to Louise is related. The
number is handsomely illustrated
throughout.
The st. Nicholas for March is
noteworthy number. Rudyard Kip
ling has new "Jungle Story" COM
plete. The character sketch of Ma
lhaniel Hawthorne is highly interest
ing and well calculated to inspire even
greater regard for the Salem recluse.
'The Boy of the First Empire" grows
more fascinating, if possible, as the
story continues, and the other serials,
sketches, poems and pictures make it
an extremely attractive number, and
the child or grown up person who does
not give it hearty welcome must be
very hard to please. That home is
we'll stocked that has St. Nicholas for
a monthly visitor.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Mrs. A. D.
7. Whitney, Rev. Robert Collyer, and
Walter Besant are all going to tell in
The Ladies' Home Journal of either
the man or woman who most influenced
their lives.
Three clever women, Margaret De-
land, Sarah Orne Jewett and Mrs. Bur-
ton Harrison, will try and settle in the
next number of the Ladies' Home
Journal when it is proper to use the
word woman" and when the term
"lady" should be employed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafnes
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness lcaused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by HALLS

THE Democrats in this state have
had much to say about the situation
in the Republican party, and not with
out reason we confess. But until
things are better within their own
ranks, it would be more becoming for
them to keep still. During this whole
Senatorial contest we believe we are
correct in stating that at no time have
all the IL Democrat members who
constitute the minority voted unani-
mously for one candidate. In fact
they have voted every-which-way, and
hardly two times alike, and have shown
far greater lack of party discipline than
has the Republican party.
