she said that an unknown man had
walked in her house, hit her on the

but she could give no reason for his
DOING so. DIR. Chas. Culpepper was

impression made on tine officer was

IN spite of the persistent opposition
Of Boss Platt, New York is likely to
witness a great reform. The Police
Magistrates bill, which has been pend
ing long while before the Legislature
has passed. The bill has been ablv
supported by public sentiment. The
corruption of this department to the
city has been notoriously disgraceful
for years, and public opinion has been
for a complete change in the police
courts of that city. Much has been
said in the public press of the odious
discrimination, civic degradation and
pervasive tyranny that has been prac-
ticed and that Governor Morton and
this Assembly have taken such praise
worthy action In removing. Every.
indication points to great reform in
the municipal affairs of that city.

AT the Grant banquet, given in Phil
adelphia, on Saturday last, ex-senator
Higgins made a vigorous speech on the
Nicaraguan situation, in which he ce-
clared the British aggression was a
scheme to prevent America from CON.
trolling the Nicaragua canal. 1t is the
belief of the best authorities that this
is the real motive behind the British
action. The administration at Wash
ington has the deepest interest in max.
ing it clear at the earliest possible dov
that this view is not well founded. for
II 1t has heen duped into helping anv
such design it will have a heavy
reckoning to settle with the American

well posted on such matters and when

great diplomatic questions, he is alwavs

patriotic pride.

TINS session our thoughts naturally re-
hect what have they done?" There
mas been a great deal of business pre-
sented to the Legislature, but. what
kind OF business, what has it amounted
10 Inc very questions that have agi-
tated the public mind, the strongest
laws that are to be enacted are left until
the closing days of the session. and in
their places have been fooled large
numbers of divorce cases, incorporation
bills and other minor business Tho
most important work accomplished
Will be, as in relation to the bills pre-
sented, few and far between. On the
face of all this, comes the Senatorial
farce, which has created no little SEN
sation in Delaware politics, and from
present prospects this session will close
with but little accomplished. The Re-
publican party gained a splendid VIC
tory in this State last fall and placed
themselves in position to do some.
thing. They had everything but a ma
lority in the Senate and would have
had this were it not for the names
off the registration list. the
consplrators backed up by the Court.

record. Of course the loss of natronaoe |
oy the untimely death of Governor
harvil has been a drawback to the
'arty, but they at least should elect a
senator, but this it seems they cannot

surely the Republican members of the

themselves by the long fight, and if
his session closes without electing one,
