The Cotton,cood Packing House.

AS briefly announced in these
columns last week the Cottonwood
Packing & Milling Company made
their first killing last Friday to
test the machinery and found that
everything worked very smoothly.
On Saturday j. w. Gains drove
over with a hack full of choice cuts
of frozen pork, spare-ribs and sau-
sage which were distributed among
the friends of the company with
their compliments. The FREE
Press was not overlooked in the
distribution, and we have been all
the week RECALLING on roast pork
and spare-ribs, trimmed of all SUI
perfiuous fat and cut up in the
highest style of the butchers art.
Elsewhere in the f. p. will be
found the large advertisement Of
the company, to which we invite
the attention of all meat consum-
ers, whether they reside on the
prairie or in the mines. They will
have smoked bacon on the market
in abouts three weeks at prices low
er than the lowest. The packing
house is now in running order and
we wish it long life of usefulness
and prosperity.

District court AdjOur,aed.

The term of district court ad-
journed last Friday evening. The
interest of the term centered on
the trial of the case of Holt & Rice
against the Bank of Camas Prairie,
which consumed the time from
Saturday, June %, till the follow.
ing Friday. The case was hard
fought one. 1. N. Smith, of Mos
COW, j. w. Poe, of Lewiston, and
X. +. Fulton, of Grangeville, rep
resented the plaintiffs, and Jas. L.
Babb, of Lewiston, and f. f. Fogg,
of Grangeville, the defense. The
jury, consisting of IL. Wickham,
r. M. Bibb, S. f. Calder, C.Mough.
mer, c. Hughs, c. w. Ste wart, ID.
T. Kincaid, Lynn Smith, Robt.
Farris, S. X. Mahurin, j. B. Allen,
and w. II. Cash, brought in a ver-
dict in favor of plaintiffs for the
sum of Sl,526.2S. The jury was
out four hours. On the first bal
lot they stood five to seven for the
plaintiffs, and on the last ballot
nine to three.
The question in issue was one of
veracity between the cashier of the
bank and Riley Rice relative to the
payment of two drafts, the cashier
asserting the payments and Rice
denying the same. The theory on
which the verdict was finally
reached was, that although the
Bank had paid the money to Rice,
it had not exercised the precaution
necessary to protect the other
members of the firm, and therefore
should be required to pay it a Sec
ond time. The ruling of the court
on this point was very clear: that
sums of money paid to one member
of a firm, for the firm, were legal
payments to the firm, whether ac-
counted for to the firm by the
member drawing it or not. 1t ap-
pears that an error of So which
crept into the account about the
time the disputed payments were
made, was used to confuse the
minds of the jury with effect. The
directors and stockholders of the
bank are a unit in sustaining their
cashier, and the case will be ap-
pealed to the court of last resort.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

The great Christian Endeavor Con-
vention, which closed this week in
Boston, is an evidence of the liberality
of modern Christianity, and a proof
that old fashioned religion has greater
hold upon the world than ever. There
were $4,000 delegates in attendance
representing many races from many
lands, and many stages of life, from
the plain everyday people to the pos
SCISSORS of wealth and power, but
all one in their devotion to practical
Christian endeavor.
1t seems to us that the great strength
Of the organization is in its freedom
from sectarianism. The world has
grown sick of mere creed and doctrine
and dogma that are just as powerless
to satisfy the cravings of the human
heart as are the teachings of material
istic philosophy, and is calling for
living, vital, visible Christianity. We
need to get outside the narrow walls of
sectarianism and denominationalism,
that dwarf the mind and empoverish
the soul, into the bright sunshine of
a liberal Christianity that teaches and
lives the religion of Christ. The
Christian Endeavor Society has taken
the initiative in adjusting the Church,
to new conditions, and the man, or
woman or society that sees life only
through sectarian eyes, has outlived
their period Of usefulness, if indeed it
can be said they ever had one.

the box and began to declaim for free
speech and the principles of Thomas
Jefferson. 1t was amusing to the
crowd, and soon Mr.. HetZell returned
to more interested audience than he
would otherwise have had had the
Squire dismissed the case against him.
Certainly the town authorities have
the right to maintain order and to con-
troll public gatherings on the streets.
To shut off the right Of free speech,
however, is not popular at any place or
time in this country, and the Henry
George free traders take advantage of
that fact to gain popular favor, and
they are succeeding in Middletown.
We do not believe that our Town
Fathers intend to be unjust but in lis
tening to the complaints of a few
against the public meetings and in at
tempting to regulate them without a
full knowledge of their powers in the
premises or without an agreement as
to procedure they have stirred up a
little tempest in tea pot. 1t will SIM
mer down shortly.
The TRANSCRIPT has no sympathy
with the single tax which is the freest
of free trade, but it thinks that its ad-
vocates have the same rights as others,
no more and no less, and they should
be treated like others. Fair play is
their right and we believe fair play
they will have in Middletown. Let
the band play.

1t seems that objection was made to the

WHERE THE ONUs LIES.

"The onus of the appointment of these
officials should be placed where it properly
belongs, upon those fifty citizens of the
city of Wilmington who made written
application to the late governor invoking
him to appoint these constables. We hope
that it will be insisted upon that these
names shall be made public.-Dover Index.
"Ex-Governor Reynolds has not suf-
fcient manhood to place it where it
belongs. He suffers alone and in silence,
and the political charletans Of this city
who induced him to degrade himself
and his Office are too wise to wish to
share with him his disgrace. For four
years the most exalted official of our
Commonwealth was the cat's-paW to
draw their chestnuts from the fire. For
four years they played him for a
marionette and he became the reproach
of the party. For four years he out
ragged the sense of justice and decency
Of the people Of Delaware, and crowned
his maladministration by playing the
marionette to the last and appointing
those special constables at the bald
suggestion of the men who had used
his weakness to accomplish their ends
and to work bis diShOnOr.
He cannot make the fifty names
public. Repeated calls have been made
for their production but they have re-
NAMED unanswered. This has been
taken as conclusive proof that he never
had them. The issuing of those COM
missions and the investment of extra
ordinary police power in large number
Of venal and irresponsible men was
part and parcel of a shameful game of
treachery which the ring bosses were
playing agairst the Republican mana
gers. They were used to buy the votes
CT men who were too low down in the
political scale to vote the ticket of
their bosses without being indirectly
bribed at the rate of SIS head.'-
EUening Journal.
Under the lead of the TRANSCRIPT
the truth about the appointment of
these special constables will be brought
out, and the fact be demonstrated that
they should not be paid, as they cannot
be legally, the opinion of Mr.. Rodney
to the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t
appears that they could only be ap-
pointed upon the petition Of the "Gfty
citizens" which petition was never
made and the proposition now to ray
"those venal and irresponsible men"
out of the taxpayers money is but an
attempt to legalize public steal. 1t
is cool robbery of the taxpayers of
this county to the extent of ten thous-
and dollars and the men who shall lend
themselves to it shall be made to pay
the price before an outraged public.
1t must not be done. 1t shall not be
done. Let every tax payer and man of
influence set his voice and his vote
against the matter now while his pro-
test is worth something. Let the
members of tle Levy Court of this
county know, and know at once, that
public sentiment is against this steal,
because such it will be. Write them

levying of a ten thousand dollar tax to

PERsIsTENTLY INCONsIsTEN,


The partisan Dover Inde1, which
never sees any good outside its own
party, charges that sour laws have
been left in a state of confusion and
uncertainty hardly to be appreciated
by the citizens at large" by the Legis-
lature. Of course it knows where the
trouble lies. 1t says: Confusion
worse confounded hardly expresses the
condition in which our State laws we're
left by the adjournment of the late, not
lamented, Republican General Assem-
bly," Matters are undoubtedly bad
enou III but of course the IndeG is
guilty of gross exaggeration. The fact
is one or two of it's editors have been
with Governor Watson on his little re-
cent excursions of exploration into
parts of Maryland never before visited
by him and the IndeG has swelled head
or two. In general way it charges
all these sins of omission and commits
sion to the Republican party, evidently
forgetful that only few weeks since
when the TRANSCRIPT pointed out
some good work done by the Legisla-
ture, this same "unlamented Republi-
can General Assembly," it exclaimed,
"Did not those bills pass the Senate
and is not the Senate Democratlc?"
The late lamented Chief Justice Robin
son used to plead jokingiy for his
friends when an inconsistency was
pointed out, that ''no mans memory
should extend over twelve MONTHS"
or that a twelve months consistency
was as much as should be expected of
human nature. It would not do to
put the Indev to this test. Indeed it
cannot be consistent in the same issue.
It seems that the IndeC was left on
the bill providing for an addition for
library purposes to the State House.
Its editors failed to get in on the lobby,
evidently. 1t charges that the bill was
introduced on Monday and under sus-
pension of the rules was passed on
Tuesday by both houses. But accord
ing to the Inde1 the man who filled in
the names in the bill, putting his own
name first and then railroading this
bill through, is none other than Sena-
tor Pyle, a Democrat from Whining
ton. The Inder weepingly exclaims:
cit won't do. The outrage has been
committed" And a Democrat, an
experienced, willy Democrat like Sena.

DEMOCRATS AND THE COLORED
COLLEGE,

1.-THE Democrats of this State have
claimed great credit for having founded
a Colored College at Dover, for the
education of colored students, and
more recently for having removed
Wesley Webb from the presidency of
the faculty and electing a colored
preacher TO succeed him. There is a
disposition among the willy, wise work.
ers of the party to take advantage OF
these things and win votes among the
colored people, by making them be-
lieve that they are doing more for
them than their Republican friends.
The fact is, the college was never foun-
ded because of any love the Democrats
had for the colored man, or interest
thew felt in his education, but simply
to secure a large appropriation from
Congress to Delaware College. This
appropriation could not be secured
unless that excellent college would
admit colored students, or separate
college founded for their benefit. For
founding this college the Democratic
party are not worthy the praise, some
Of them are wont to take to them
selves. and under the circumstances, it
ia a wonder that it has succeeded as
we'll az II has. President Webb has
had money difficulties in his way, and
under the circumstances has done good
work and leaves the college on the up
grade, 1t is not our purpose to throw
a shadow of reflection on that excellent
State Institute-the Delaware College,
or the new president of the Colored
College at Dover, but to bring out the
facts in the case. Both of these much
needed institutions have our best t
wishes. and we hope that the new
president will prove a worthy successor

worse than the Democratic bribery of
voters in Kent and Sussex counties for
they collect their money in advance
from parties " no are more or less will
ing contributors, less willing if they
could get out of it but more willing
since share of the party spoils after
the election depends upon the size of
the ante-election contributions. This
is the worst bribery of all-the paying
of the debt (2) out of the public funds.
1t must not be.
OF course there is the precedent of
two years ago when Willard Salisbury
relieved the Treasury of the State of
some ten thousand dollars on similar
steal. The law was the same, that is
that "the county must pay" as Mr..
Rodney says, but Willard is cunning
and INSCRIPTIONS and he got his claim
through one Of those model Legisla-
lures, all Democratic. Whether or not
the list of "fifty citizens" was ever
made public we do not know nor does
it matter now. Mr.. Salisbury sue
ceeded in having that set of rowdies
paid at the expense of the State, and
set the example for the claims now
pending. Of course the election of "a
wicked Republican Legislature" last
fall prevented the payment Of the bribe
by the State, and now the last effort is
to force it out of the people of New
Castle county. Will the people sub
nit?
Has the New Era had time to find
out whether it favors or opposes the
payment of the special constables by
the Levy Court? Is it with the people
or against them? Now is the time to
have an opinion and to express it.
