ohiclens Coming Home 70 Roost.

Editor The Gazette: The attention
of the writer was called to q letter pub
lished in the Morning News of the 18th
inst, written by one II. G. Morse.
Mr.. Morse is fresh from the fields of
Ohio, where the G. .. =. reigns su-
preme; where venality is a forgotten
word and the voice of the Office seeker
is unhoard at all events ON the question
of currency.
While sympathizing with Mr.. Morse
and his faction IS defeat in the disgrace
ful struggle at Dover, last Tuesday, it
might be we'll to suggest to the mem
bers of the party of moral idoas'' that
before laying the blame for their mis-
fortunes at the door of their political
opponents they inquire az to who con-
ferred the right of suffrage upon
5000, 900 of as ignorant and venal a
population as probably can be found
on earth and who, to furnish the
means for buying this vote. have forced
upon this nation the most outrageous
pension law that in this or any other
age has ever cursed people.
The chickens are coming home to

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE CHURCH.
rne Key. oarollnk J. nartle...

The press has given news indicating
that the great Methodist Episcopal
Church is meditating more liberal
anu enlightened policy towards its
women. The Pennsylvania Conference,
we are told. has voted to accept women
as lay delegates, and there is reason to
hope that at no distant day tho General
Conference (which once denied ad-
mission to Frances Willard) will grant
a place to women as voting delegates.
This will of course lead speedily to
tho ordination of women to the
Methodist ministry The Importance
of giving to women their rightful
pnce in the government OF the church
and in it's preaching and pastoral
service, can hardly be oyerestimated.
Those who would relegate woman to
"hor sphere" usually take the ground
that woman is, in her mental, moral
and spiritual constitution, substantially
different from man, and that therefore
she should not undertake the higher
activities which he has thus far re-
served for himself.
If we assume this difference to be a
fact, then by that fact woman is un-
erringly summoned TO take her place
beside man in all church councils and
in the pulpit.
Whether the difference between man
hood and womaphood consists in the
possession of some quality or qualities
by each which the other does not pos
sess; or whether tho difference lies in
the usual preponderance of certain
common qualities In the one sox and
of certain other common qualities in
the other sex-still, the two resultants
are substantially and, let us trust,
ineradicably dilferont-so that the
ideal humanity is not man and ia not
woman-it is both. And thus it is
that humanity, being made up of two
diverse halves, needs its interpreters,
its teachers, its ministers from both
halves of humanity, else the interpre-
tation, the teaching, the religion must
be warped, incomplete. ineffective and
not roundly human.
What is the trouble to-day with the
creeds, from the tyranny of which so
many OF the churches are trying to
free themselves? Why, they were for
muiated by one-half of humanity for
both halves. The woman element was
utterly ignored. The mother heart was
not permitted to voice itself. Relent-
loss logic which, 'they say" pre-
ponderates with man, was allowed full
sway, without it having been first de-
termined whether the premises upon
which they built were in any sort Of
harmony with the thought of love at
tho heart of the universe, which "they
say, next TO its throne in the heart Of
God himself, has its highest seat in
the mother-hear
When women help to formulate the
expressions of religious faith which
contribute SO powerfully to mould the
personal religious convictions of those
who subscribe to them, then the
church itself will be humanized, and
whether it be a man or woman who
ministers from your pulpit, the genius
of the church, the spirit'os the religion
he or she teaches, will be broadly and
highly. strongly and tenderly, bravely
and purely human and divine. Then
We will all pray TO "Our Father and
our Mother GdCl.'

THE PASSING OF BACH.
Dover pelnwnrenn. NAV 1lith.

Dover Delawarean, May 10Th.
1t is written that whatsoever man
soweth that shall he also reap.'
Perhaps no one in Delaware to-day is
in better position to realize the force
of this truth than poor Fred Eden Bach,
late private secretary to ex-senator
Higgins and billingsgate writer for the
press. For years ne has been writing
articles vilifying and misrepresenting
nearly every leader of the Democratic
party Of this State. No language has
been too severe, no calumny too unjust
for his pen.
He has also assumed the role of die
tator for his party, deciding its policy
and naming its candidates. Those who
have shown the least sign Of iGdepen-
fenqe have been relegated to the shades
Of private life and compelled to do
humble penance before they could
voice in its councils.

he think of his past record and long for
one more chance to show some decency
in politics? No doubt those unac-
quainted with his political past pitied
tne youth, but his record was too much
even for the Republican convention and
he was carried to the block amidst the
shouts and laughter of those who had
been his political serfs.
His occupation is gone. He is no
longer a power in the party he once
ruled. He has made his exit from the
political arena. "unwept, unhonored

A Peculiar Lad.

Nathan White, the 10-years-old lad
who was arrested by Detective Dillon,
who found him riding on train, was
taken before Judge Ball in the munich
pal court on Saturday. According TO
the lads story he had boarded a train
at Marion station on the N. Y, p. &
N. railroad and had ridden free to this
city. He also said that this father,
who had been working at Pccomoke
City, had gone to Philadelphia without
him, but he could not enlighten the
judge as to whether his father war ted
him or not Special Agent Stout of
the S. P. Q. @. said the family lived
in this city in 1894, and that the
mother deserted the father and the
boy was placed in the Children IS
Home. Tho father afterward secured
his release. The judge thought the
boy had no home and committed him
to the care of Agent Stout.

New Castle. May 16. A large crowd
from Wilmington, Philadelphia and
the surrounding country witnessed the
sentence of the court carried out this
morning at the county Jail in this city.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock William White
and Elias Williams mounted the ladder
lending to the pillory and were speedily
strapped in. At IL o'clock Samuel
Emory was placed in the stock and
released as the clock struck the hour
of u. After the release of Emory.
William White was brought out from
his cell and received 20 lashes, which
he evidently felt considerably. Upon
his release Elias Williams followed and
took 20 strokes with grin, which
caused the spectators to smile. Samuel
Emory followed and stood the test,
taking 40 lashes, which he did not seem
to relish. Joseph Biscoe received his
80 lashes and was aftefward placed in
the pillory to stand one hour. The
cause of this was due to the fact that
the sheriff did not get his sentence
until late and the work in this case
was simply reversed. The lashes were
fairly we'll laid on. A bystander stated
that the sheriff is learning how to use
the gad with good effect. All of the
prisoners who received the lash were
colored men. The corporal punishment
of John Saville, white, whose sentence
is 10 lashes, John Warrington, 10
lashos and Hezekiah Batson, colored,
80 iashes, was held over until next
Saturday. Friends of Warrington and
Saville are endeavoring to have it
remitted altogether.

In the court of chancery on Friday
morning Willard Salisbury, attorney for
Benjamin f. Carver, presented an in.
junction bill to Chancellor Nicholson,
asking for restraining order upon
John @. F. Carver, to prevent further
proceedings by him looking to the fore
closure of a mortgage of 81, 500 against
property on East Second street,
which was purchased by the brothers
in 1884. According to the bill the
price was So, 600 and each man paid his
share, but a mortgage of 81, 500 was
given John @. #. Carver, with the un-
derstanding, however, that the two
men were joint owners in fee simple.
The property was bought for home
for the parents of the two mon. Both
parents have since die3. The expenses
in connection with the property have
been divided between the two brothers.
The respondent, however, has insti-
tuted suit in superior court for the
foreclosure of the mortgage. The com
plainant has endeayored to make a
reasonable settlement, but without sue
cess. A preliminary injunction was

A Father Killed and His Two Sons Fatal
Wounded


Wounded.
Fremont, O., May 16. "A terrible
tragedy occurred last night one mile
east OF the village of Lindsey and about
eight milos from this city, in which
one man was killed outright and his
two sons were probably fatally wounded.
The deed was committed about mid
night and evidently was we'll planned.
At that time the family of Jacob Hess
were aroused by an explosion, which
shattered their house but no one was
injured. Mr.. Hess and his sons i'm
mediately prepared to leave the house
to ascertain the cause of the explosion,
and they had hardly stepped out when
shot was fired and the old gentleman
dropped over dead another shot, and
one of the SONS fell, pierced in the
breast with a quantity of buckshot; /;
again a shot. anu the other son fell.
Tho fiend then fled and thus far has
not been captured.
Suspicion points strongly to the deed
having been committed by young
farmer named Louis Billau. He has
been desperately in love with the
daughter of Mr.. Hess, but his suit was
strenuously opposed by the father and
also the brothers.
