secure votes. Mr.. Causey Simply
prevaricates. or he has been gross
ly misrepresented. Every one
knows that should the Democrats
have majority IN the Legislature,
and DR.. FarloY hold the casting
vote necessary toelect any one, Mi.
Causey would be very thankful to
receive that vote, indeed he would
not stop short of the most abject
apologies to get it. Salisbury or
Biggs, White or Cooper would glad
ly condone all of Farlow S sins of
omission or commission for the sake
OF securing the necessary vote to
elect and there is no use of any one
lying about the matter.
No matter under what circum-
stances persons NAV meet their
death from the hands Of their fellow
men. the law considers them guilty
until proven innocent by Jury of
their fellowmen. This is the final
outcome of all accidents or crimes
committed. The person so unlucky
as to kill another, either by acct
dent or design, will have to suffer
the penalty prescribed by the law.
His fellow men, consisting of jury
of twelve, will be compelled to pass
upon either his guilt or innocence.
IT Is to be hoped the striking glass
men will fare better than the strik-
ing morocco men who, by their fool
hardness were the means of intro
ducing labor saving machinery in
that industry, which has gradually
taken the place of hundreds of skill
ed artisans and at one-half the
wages paid to the men. Boys and
girls by the hundred have been EN-
ployed in the morocco shops all over
the country and skill is no longer
sought. This at one time was the
best paying business in our city for
the men employed in the different
branches, but now behold what
change has been wrought!
LEWIS c. VANDERBILT has made
first class U. S. District ATTORNEY
but there is no earthly reason why
his term, which expired nearly one
year ago, should be extended inde6-
nitely. There are plenty of good
capable Republican lawyers, who
are not only willing but anxious TO
serve Uncle Sam at the rate of $1,000
year. We do not know who has

tronage in the State of Delawa are.
but we do know that everything
moves very slowly,in fact painfully
slow in Delaware. BY all means
put a Republican District Attorney
In Mr.. Vandegrift's place.
ONE OF the Saddest and most sud
