The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-23

Mr.. DUPONT of Delaware has been de-
prived Of his seat in the Senate of the
United States by strictly partizan vote of
thirty-one to thirty. OF the thlrty-one
votes, twenty.six were Democratic and five
were cast by Populists, the thirty votes in
his favor being all thrown by Republicans.
The partizan complexion of the votes
cast simply shows how unjust and illogical
the entire proceeding was, and stamps it as
an act unworthy of that high Legislative
body.
The absurdity of this action of the Sem
ate is fully apparent, when its full signif-
canoe is considered.
1t practically admits the legality Of the
exercise by one man Of the functions OF two
most important offices in State that Of
Governor and Senator at one and the same
time, proposition as unreasonable and
illogical as it is subversive OF practice and
precedent in every state in the Union,
where no individual can hold two incom-
patible offices simultaneously.
Commenting on the action of the Senate
a contemporary forcibly says, the United
States Senate has on number of occasions
left seats in that body vacant by refusing
to recognize the appointees of governors who
have exercised the power of appointment
after legislatures have abandoned their con-
stitutional right of election. We have
nothing to say in criticism of such action
The principle, however, involved in the
present case is entirely different. In this
case the governor of Delaware, instead OF
appointing senator to fill vacancy, in
terposed his exercise Of the function of
another office, which he claims to hold CO.
ordinately with the governorship, for the
prevention of regular election by the
Legislature. Moreover, this action of the
Delaware governor was Extensively partisan.
If he had not interposed his vote as a state
senator the Republicans would have had a
majority of one on joint ballot. When he,
Democrat, succeeded to the governorship,
through the death of the regularly elected
incumbent of that office, common decency,
as well as the plain letter of the constitu-
ton, would have seemed sufficient to die
tate his nOn-interference in an election in
volving the senatorial succession and the
dignity of the commonwealth of Delaware.

WHALES AND PoRPoIsEs FIGHT
When about fifteen miles east of the
Nova Scotia coast ON Friday the pas
sengers and crew of the steamer Ulun-
da, from Liverpool, were startled by
the extraordinary spectacle of an enor-
nous school OF porpoises, which were
being pursued by about two dozen
whales of great size. As nearly as
could he estimated, there were not less
than 1900 porpoises rushing in every
direction, terror stricken, in their eag-
erness to escape from the whales, which
pursued them viciously. The sea was
black with the norpoises, which rushed
through the water with great rapidity
in their efforts to get out of reach of the
enormous, putting whales. Occasion
ally one or two of the porpoises would
be run down by whale and all three
would disappear from view. Old salts
among the crew declare that they
never witnessed any such spectacle on
the American coast. For half an hour
the singular battle was witnessed from
the deck of the ship, during which
time many of the porpoises were
slaughtered by their relentless enemies.

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette.
BUSH HILL. July II Miss Mary
Hirst, whose parents live on Evergreen
Farm, near here, started on Saturday
last on a visit Of several weeks to her
relatives at Leetown, w. Va, and we
trust she may fully enjoy the pleasure
this trip will give her. She is quite a
favorite with all those who know her
personally.
On Sunday morning last the Sabbath
school connected with Beulah Baptist
Church near Franconia Station, listen
ed TO an instructive address from Mr..
Adam Martin, near here, who at the
same time presented to the superinten-
dent of the school nice line of library
books which had been generously do
mated by the members and friends of
the Baptist Church in Alexandria, and
coming as they do are more than appre-
ciated.
There will be religious service for one
week at Olivet Episcopal Church
commencing next Friday evening
at eight o'clock and continuing
through this and the following week
conducted by Rev. E. s. Kinks assisted
by the rector, Rev. II. F. Kloman.
Mrs. Everett Triplett has gone on q
visit of several weeks to relatives and
friends at Monroe and Detroit, Mich,
and expects to return to her home
sometime in September.
We have been asked by number OF
the GAzETTE's readers to give correct
definition of the prettiest girl in this
county or the model young lady from
our standpoint, and we here forthwith
submit the same, hoping it may meet
the approval of any of the fair sex who
came under that head. Everybody re-
marks, "There she goes, the prettiest
girl in Fairfax county" (uot handsome
so much in face as in winning ways
and all that goes to make up
the model young LADY,. Every
| town and village, and hamlet claims
her birth2lace-the prettist girl in Fair
fax. Her symmetrical form is natures
own model, full of grace and poetry in
every motion. Aurora paints her
| cheeks with her bushes in the morning
and Heaven dwells in her lustrous eyes.
She never laughs or talks in church nor
even looks behind. She venerates old
ago, has class in the Sunday school,
is good to the poor and never speaks
unkindly to anyone. She is the light
of home and joy of all around her.
Such grsces as these make her the most
attractive girl in Fairfax and the friends
sle has made are legion. The young
m 60 crazy over her melting charms,
and old men raise their glasses to take
peep. She is modest and unassuu-
ing aud is so pretty that she is not con-
scious how lovely she is, and is dia-
| mond of the first water. This is as
near perfection as it can be attained.

oCCooUAN SHOCKED.

A party of Capital Bicycle Clubmen
had an amusing experience last Sun
day, says the Washington Star. The
annual club run of the club to Occoquan
vas made. The day was warm to au
intense degree, and the road riders
pursued their usual custom of heighten-
ing the heat by scorching. Long be-
fore reaching Occoquan the wheelmen
were we'll strung out, and each man, to
be more comfortable, arranged his
sweater over his trousers. Thus sttired
the procession entered Occoquan. Oc-
coquan was founded 1707, and many
of its residents retain the ideas of the
proprieties that were then in force.
When the bicyclists hove in sight of
the populsce, therefore, wearing their
sweaters in the manner described, q
great shock swept over the community,
and multitude of hands went up in
holy horror.
DR.. John S. Powell, ex-member of
the Virginia Legislature, rushed to the
front to prevent such awful desecration
OF the good name of Occoquan. Ee
hurried to the town constable, Gap
tain'' Ledman, who, in addition to his
official duties, take care of the creature
comforts of the population, and demancf
ed the arrest of the wheelmen for in
decent exposure.
Thereupon colloquy ensured be-
tween the visitors aud the officer,
which soon took the shape of person
al investigation of the sweater wearers
Each man was turned slowly around
as if on pivot, and at last the consta-
BILE dubiousfy decided that while "wear-
in shirt outside o. tn pants wasn't
jest exactly k'rect, speshully on Sun.
day, they warn't no visible indications
of exposure sech as wuz contemplated
by the law" Then he added, after
ruminative pause, SO sweater amt q
shirt, nohow."
The Capital Bicycle men came back,
and when they 60 to Occoquan they
will wear garments of single piece
buttoned up the back.
