The James A. Powers who was arres-
ted for the criminal libel of DIR. Slaugh-
ter in the DelalUGre Economist, United
Labor Organ, an ephemeral publication
in Wilmington, copied with a long pre-
face our editorial on Wilmington re-
presentation, with charges utterly
false and as reckless as the charges for
which DIR. Slaughter had him locked up
in cell, charging an attempt at black
mail. 1t heads its article in big letters,
"Hoffeckers Threat, " saying the Times
is the personal organ of John H. HOf-
fecker, that the editorials are submitted
to him before they are printed, etc. A
Wilmington paper speaks Of the EcOnO-
mist as a paper of not circulation
enough to warrant his arrest, and
Powers as a ''poor misguided youth"
and consequently hardly worth MOTTO
ing, but it is proper for us to say that
no one is responsible for what appears
in the TINES, that John H Hofecker
knows no more of its contents until
after its publication than the most re-
mote citizen, and he nor any other
man is responsible for what appears in
its columns. The TIMES owes allegi-
ance only to its patrons.

An Exciting Runaway.

A runaway of John p. Hudson s
lumber team yesterday came near hav-
ing serious results. The standing in
structions of the colored driver
was to hitch the horse to the
car while loading up at the Depot
but he didn't do this, and getting
scared at something, tore up Mt Yer
non street towards home with only the
front part of the wagon attached. Mrs.
Jos. H. Primrose and Charles Collins
were at her carriage in front of the
residence of Geo D. Collins. The
horse in attempting to make short
cut across the yards to the Hudson
residence struck the wheels against the
curbing with such force as to send the
bolster of the wagon flying, striking
both Mrs. Primrose and Mr.. Collins.
Fortunately, with her, it was little
more than a shock, but Mr.. Collins
was knocked insensible. When picked
up his scalp was cut and bleeding, but
he soon recovered. Had the bolster
hit him direct instead of a glancing
blow, it might have killed him. Mr..
Hudson's porch was smashed, and at
Mr.. Cosgriff's, where he fell, the
porch was also somewhat damaged.
Mr.. GreenwelPs meat wagon of
KentOn, was stopped at a dwelling on
the opposite side of the street. The
falling of Mr.. Hudson's horse scared
it, and away it started down the street,
but not very fast, turning into Della
ware and Commerce street where it
was caught by Marion Hearne, very
mnch to the qualification of Mr.. Green
well, without any damage.

Enthusiastic Democratic Meeting.

Smyrna had the first political meet
ing of the old time enthusiasm last
night-a Democratic meeting at the
Opera House, with street procession,
first of the young Mems Tunnel and
Handy Club carrying red lights, ac-
companied by the Excelsior Band.
They marched through the principal
streets with canes and badges cheering
at different places and attracted con-
siderable attention Many persons
from the surrounding country were in
town, and when the time for the meet
ing had arrived the house was packed
with an attentive audience.
The first speaker introduced by
chairman HAZEL was Peter J. Ford, of
Wilmington. Mr.. Ford told them he
was no speaker, simply bringing good
will and congratulations, and promis-
ing that New Castle County would roll
up one of her biggest Democratic
majorities. He spoke five minutes.
The next and only speaker was L.
Irving Handy who occupied the plat
form just two hours. Though some
what hoarse at first, this passed away,
and in his expert way of presenting
SMILES and sOphisms with the gift of
Oratory, was at his best Starting
with the declaration that his campaign
which he had been engaged in for six
weeks had been free from abuse he
paid passing tribute to the character
and worth of the three Gubernatorial
candidates. In speaking of John c.
Higgins he said a women had once
said that the good Lord had given a
certain amount of vinegar, pepper and
oil in the make up of our boys but it
would appear that in the Higgins
family all the vinegar and pepper had
got into Anthony, and the oil in John.
More than an hour was consumed in
discursive review of politics in gen
eral, interspersed with incident and
anecdotes of an amusing character.
On reaching the silver question he en-
braced it fully including the Chicago
platform in it broadest phases in re-
ference to the Chicago riot and the
Supreme Court, and presented Mr..
Bryan as a brilliant and safe leader.
Quotations were made from Jefferson,
Hamilton, Carlisle, Blaine and Nc
Kinley to show that they had been ad-
vocates of Free Silver, but no referance
was made to Mr.. Cleveland whose
election four years ago he then de-
clared would relieve us of hard times
and farmers would get 70 cent a bushOl
for corn and $1.25 for wheat. He
drew lurid picture of the present CON
ditiOn of the country, which would,
he said, be worse if there was not an
increase in the coinage of money,
called the editors of the great dailies
who were advocating the gold basis
Hessians, and predicted the triumphant
election of Bryan to the Presidency.

THE MOrniug NeWs took exception
to our editorial last week on Whining
ton and its pet notion of Representa-
ton according to population, saying 1t
only wants instead ''just" representa-
ton, whatever that is, if not in the eyes
of Metropolitan, representation ac-
cording to population. We will have
no quarrel with our cotemporary at a
date so far removed from the COnven-
ton if it will consider the 'just and
equable" thing to divide New Castle
County into two counties, with Viii
mington to form one with just enough
country to give it a landscape. That
will give it position both select and
aesthetic.
Our cotempOrary in a half way ad-
mits a shading of 'superciliousnes ess"
as a quality of demeanOr, but draws
the line on the word "gang" as applied
to Wilmington gentlemen. Conditions
of behavior call for certain appellatives.
If the term gang" did not apply to the
Wilmingtonians on the day of the Con"
ventiOn-12th of Mayhem we do not
understand the meaning and force of
the word for, in the way of noise and
racket there was little difference be-
tween the "swallow tails" and pro-
letariats, the distinction being that the
first composed the centre and the
second the periphery of the circle.
One was loaded down with complaints
and the other with grievances.
The "down country" delegates
looked on in mute establishment and
wondered at what place along the rail-
road "city manners" had been pitched
overheard and left behind. The lower
county delegates were amused at the
ins and the outs swapped epithets, the
only difference being that the noise of
the outside was equalled by the pun
gency of the centre, until the Higgins
boys went off in q ''gang" to them
selves headed by Hastings, the re-
doubtable. This is the same "gang''
who in defiance of conventional pre-
cedents in st. Louis and in Delaware
have falsifed conditions and in a mad
effort to defeat one man who can only
reach his ambition through one branch
of the ticket, are running over every
county to defeat the regularly cOnsti-
tuted state ticket because not of their
making. If they are not a "gsng'
will the Morning NetOs please tell us
what kind of a nondescript they are?

The "Heralds" Forecast.

The New York Herald's forecast Of
the probable result of Tuesdays cleo
tion, from information furnished by
correspondents from all parts of the
country, whose regulations for politi-
cal acumen are at stake, and who are.
therefore, very careful to send to the
Herald what they believe to be true Of
the political situation. The HeraId. s
forecast of the Presidential election
gives Mckinley 248 electoral votes
necessary to a choice 224); Bryan 1874.
and leaves G5 votes in doubt, of which
AZ are favorable to Mckinley and % to
Bryan.
The States credited to Mckinley are
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Kentucky, Rhode Island,
Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
The States credited to Bryan are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Flori-
da, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Virginia
The following States are set down as
doubtful:
California, Kansas, Minnesota, Ne
braska, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Oregon, South Dakota, Washington,
Wyoming.
The Hcrald'S canvass of the Con
gressiOnal districts is also very encour-
aging. 1t finds that the next Congress
will probably consist of 224 Republi-
cans, 1877 Democrats and 6 Populists.
OF these 215 will be for sound money
and 142 for free silver coinage.

WHEAT. T.-The rise in the price of
wheat will bring to this country more
than 800, ,O0O,OOO of foreign gold, as the
increased price has been caused by an
unusual foreign demand resulting from
the failure of the wheat crops of India,
Russia and the Argentine Republic,
The Bryan organs realize that this
increase in the price Of farming pro-
ducts refutes every argument they have
presented in favor of cheap money.
The hundreds of thousands of bash
els of wheat sold recently have been
sold for shipments abroad, and o-day
it is impossible to obtain vessels to
ship the amount of wheat that is need
ed Freights have advanced largely,
as well as the price of wheat, and all
this has been done simply because the
laws Of supply and demand have ad-
vanced our farm products and also
largely advanced freights, as the mar
ket for our supplies is in distant
countries.

THAT 'politics makes strange bed fell
low" is an old and trite saying that
may or may not be censursble, but
when it becomes mendacious, it is
time for fairminded men to stop
and inquire whittier it is leading.
Two years ago the Board of Regis
tration Of Duck Creek, Kenton
and Little Greek Hundreds cut off over
one hundred names of Republicans by
wholesale, with the intention thereby
to carry the county, which was done
With the same Registrars the same
thing was ATTEMPTED this year, but the
Republicans getting on to what was
intended late in the day, telephoned to
Dover where the Republicans were in
a majority, and thev q, natter of re-
prisal and to clr 4e political
theft, swOre against an equal or larger
number Of Democrats there. 1t had
the desired affect, the game was
blocked, and the men on both sides
will have the privilege of voting, as
they ought to have. But the strange
thing is the howl set up against the
Republicans for doing as they did
they did not believe the Republicans
were SO "ornery" This is manifest in
the account given in the clayton Catt
by the editor, who was one of the
Registrars in both cases who helped to
hatch out the plot, in a display head
article, ''Real Estate Owners their
Prey" ''Doyer Citizens Indignant, "
"Afidavits Filed by Democrats" etc
starts off as follows:
"One Of the most dastardly attempts
to disfranchise citizens Of their votes
was enacted in two districts of East
Dover hundred last Saturday, when af-
hdaVits were filed against 139 persons,
some Of them the most prominent citi-
zens and property owners Of Dover,
among them @. S. Pennewill. John f.
Saulsbury, Samuel Wharton and James
H. Hughes"
IT is a most fortunate thing the game
did not succeed. and that no man is de-
prived Of his right TO vote. No wonder
the Democrats Of Dover were indig-
nan4, they had a right to be, and can
sympathize with their fellcw Republi-
cans in the same boat. The astitude
Of the Court is very different from what
it was two years ago. Such efforts
when long kept up have always re.
suited in dire consequences.

DEATHS.
Phillips.

Gardiner W. Phillips, a we'll known
farmer in this community, residing for
some years past on farm he had
bought near CheswOld, died suddenly
at his home on Tuesday night of last
week, of neuralgia of the heart, age, so
years. He was first attacked on Mon
day night, his trouble yielding readily
to the doctors remedies, and he was
about on Tuesday. That night he re-
tired about eight o'clock When his
wife went up stairs to bed later, she
noticed he was breathing heavily, but
it did not occur to her it was anything
but sleep, but just before getting in
bed it ceased, and on examination dis
covered he was dead. The surprise
and shock can well be imagined. The
deceased stood we'll in his community.
His remains were entered at Bethel
Church on Thursday, Rev. J. W.
Fogle officiating. He leaves a wife
and three small children.

BURGLARS RAID TOwN.-The little
town of Marydel, on the line between
Delaware and Maryland, was raided by
a gang of burglars a week ago. Eight
houses were robbed, The victims were
Frank MedfOrd, Jacob Richards, Will
liam Smith, Samuel Boyer, James L.
Pippin, @. R. Frazier, S. H. Pippen
and Mrs. Lizzie Clark. The robbers
secured over $1,000 worth of plunder.
KNOTS DAvIs.-A church wedding
occurred at Templeville NJ. E. Church,
Wedr esday evening, the contracting
parties being Mr.. Gurney Knots and
Miss Hattie Davis. The ushers were
Messrs. B. H. Emory, Iaaac Jones and
James Knots, brother of the groom.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
G. F. Sheperd, pastor of Marydel
charge.
The Trappe Times speaks very COM
plimentary of W. w. Wright, formerly
of Smyrna, who has been superinten-
dent of theil creamery since 1892. The
capacity is 300 pounds per day. The
product stands A and the supply is
far below the demand. The plant is
valued at $4,000, and is considered the
equal of any on the Shore.
EastOn seems not to improve in it's
reputation for bad boys. A week or so
ago a gentleman of Delaware, who has
had considerable to do with children as
a school director, was on a visit to the
town and while quietly passing the
school building on the opposite side of
the street, he was hailed by a lad in
a group of some twenty, who were
standing outside with the question of
"Where did you get that hat?" He
naturally passed on without noticing
the offensive salutation, and one of
them threw an apple core at him. He
liked the town but does not like the
manners of its youngsters, and it may
be some time before he visits it again.

1t is surprising to many that foot
ball players and other athletes regard
a sprain or bruise of so little conse-
quence. One reason of this is, they
know how to treat such injuries so as
to recover from them in few days,

or three weeks, if not longer. Writing
