The Philadelphia Times in large let
ters makes the statement that "the
Standard Oil Trust is backing Addicks
for the fight IN Delaware This is
taken as evidence by the Republicans
that there is something in the state
ment uttered by Democrats that Sauls
bury would have something more po-
tent than striking off large sections of
the assessment lists in effecting the
election. In fact it is said there was
evidence of this at the lastreglstration.

The Middletown Transcript, whichis
showing considerable spirit since its
resurrection, in discussing the object
of Willard Salisbury, (who has been
so earnestly preaching pure BALLOT,
bat who intended to use the worst
form of corruption as revealed by a
Wilmington Democrat, says: "The
good people of this State will not for
get that four years ago the most high
handed frauds upon the suffrage of
the people were committed by men,
for whom the Democratic organiza-
tion was responsible. In st. Georges
hundred the registration was little
more than farce.
f'The registrars in Middletown, with
their Democratic colleagues, witho 1T
cause or pretext, Except such as they
could invent) refused by the score,
Registration to Republicans.
$50 outrageous were their proceed
ings, that they became famous ~ for
their dirty and dishonest doings. One
of them now seeks the reward of the
Municipal Judgeship of the city of
Wilmington, and his colleague has al
ready been made Notary Public and
Justice of the Peace in Middletown.
''It is a notorious fact that the elec-
tion returns in the western district of
st. Georges Hundred, were fraudu-
lently altered in the interest of Toman,
who was then the Democratic candi-
date for sheriff of New Castle county,
showing that the Inspector in that dis
trict was one of the conspirators il
what has become known as the "court
house steal of 1885,

stolen outright, and Democrats were
put in Office, and remained their full
term, Notwithstanding the fact that g
short time before some of their terms
expired, the courts of this State de

things were done in the face of tn,

THE same report comes this year
from all the States-larger registration
than usual. The rates run from 10 to
25 per cent. The figures at Whining
ton are reported at $4,000 against 49,
600 two years ago, There is a gain all
over the State, in some places striking.
In this part of the State the difference
is not material. Both parties claim
that they have been benefited by the
increase of registration the Demo
Gratis claim they will have Wilmington
by 800 majority and the Republicans
claim from the same registration a
prospective majority of $500.

THERE is no news so uncertain as
the China news. The news of one day
most always contradicts that of another.
The position taken at first by the I'm
tied States, not to partition or divide
the Empire among the Powers but
keep the ports open for the general
trade, is at last receiving the endorse
ment of the European Countries, an
agreement having been entered into
between England and Germany in fur
therance of this policy. France is put

The Georgetown Union Republican
takes no notice of the action of the
anti-Addicks men in Sussex county in
running a seperate ticket because the
Union Republicans would not give
them one-third of the ticket, chosen
from the sure districts, though the
Wilmington Sun shows by figures that
they had less than one-fifth of the Re-
publican vote in the county as cast at
the last election, unless it be con-
tanned in the following:
"Will the Morning NeaOs give the
people of the State logical and rea-
sonable explanation of its position that
New Castle county should have a COM
mon primary and majority rule, aud
that Sussex should not? The time
has come when the question of the
right of the people to select their own
candidates should be settled. How
absurd After years of longing for a
district system now that it is here,
county committees are to invade indie
pendent Legislative Districts where
they neither live or vote, and force
candidates upon the people without
their consent. Under the rules of the
Union Republican party each district
is self-governing, it has the absolute
right without interference to choose
its own district candidates. This
being true, minority representation is
made impossible.

LECTURE ON SMALLPOX.
DIR. Frederick Leavitt Tells Gradu-
ated Nurses About the Disease.

Dr. Frederick Leavitt lectured before
the Ramsey County Graduate Nurses as
ISOLATION last evening at the medical
library in the Lowry arcade on the sub
iect of Smallpox" The doctor discussed
the subject from the standpoint of the
diagnosis and treatment.
Science has made but little advance
in the treatment Of the disease In the
past hundred years. said the lecturer.
ssIt attacks all ages, both young and old,
and is almost as hard to handle as when
the disease was first identified"
DR.. Leayitt spoke of the similarity be-
tween smallpox and chicken pox symp-
TOMS and classified varioloid as small
pox modified by vaccination. OF the dis
ease there are three classes, the discreet
form where the eruptions are separated
or distinct, the continent form, where the
eruptions run together, and the black or
most virulent type. OF the continent dis
ease, but so per cent of the patients re-
cover and in the black smallpox recovery
is very rare.
The period of incubation, according to
the lecturer. Is from twelve to fourteen
DAYS and anyone exposed to the danger
of contagion would be wise to remain
isolated or In quarantine for at least
fourteen days. After that period had
elapsed there is absolutely no danger.
Z To successfully diagnose the disease Is
rendered difficult because the symptoms
at first, headache and backache. are very
much like the symptoms of pneumonia,
typhoid and la grippe. In smallpox cases.
however, within two days, there is a
marked rise in temperature, and then fol-
low the eruptions which are distinctive
of the disease Above all DR.. Leavitt de-
cIared the nurse in charge Of smallpox
case should be careful in obeying the d.
1ections of the attending physician to
the minutest detail. Cleanliness should
also he a main care Of the attendant.

BEFORE ST. PAUL PREsBYTERY
Various Matters of Church Interest
Came Up Yesterday.

Various Matters of Church Interest
Came Up Yesterday.
The St. Paul presbytery held its mid
winter session yesterday morning at the
Dana Norwegian church on Rice street.
The following changes were made in the
standing committees:

Rev G. ". Davis; A. w. Anderson. vice

thorne. vice w. e. Beckwith.

Rev. Herbert w. Knox, who has re-
Gently accepted a call to the pastorate
Of the Ninth church. was admitted to
the presbytery. The installation services
at the Ninth church were fixed for
Thursday evening, Feb. 8. Rev. e. P.
Lewis and Elder Turnbull were named
as a committee on the new pastors In
stallation. Rev. s. J. Kennedy, modera-
tor will preside. The sermon will be
delivered by DR.. Paxton, the charge to
the pastor by Rev. c. D. Scovel, and the
charge to the people by DR.. Edwards.
Rev. John Sinclair, pastor Of the First
church. asked the aid of the presbytery
in obtaining from DR.. Nathaniel West, q
former pastor Of the First church, pa
pers covering the history OF the church
during its first twenty-five years of ex-
istence. DR.. West was pastor of the
church for little less than year when
the First church was on Lafayette ave-
nue. For some reason he refused to &C
cept the call and left the city. Later he
came back, but the congregation refused
to have him, and there were some ex-
citing times in the churchs history and
lawsuit. The papers in DR.. West
possession, concerning as they do the
early history of Presbyterianism in st.
Paul, are valuable not only to the First
church, but to, all the Presbyterian
churches. A prominent member of the
House of Hope church offered $50 to-
ward the clearing of the First church s
mortgage on condition that the papers
are reclaimed. Dr.. Edwards, DR.. Pax
ton and William Wilson were named q
committee to get the documents They
will report at the spring meeting in
April No one seems to know DR.. West S
exact Whereabouts, although 1T Is I'M
derstood he is somewhere In New York
state.
Rev. White, the eighteenth minister
that the church at Jordan has had In
as many years, was made member OF
the presbytery. 1t appears that there
are two factions at Jordan, and the min
lister that one faction favors is persona
non grata to the other, therefore his
tenure of office is necessarily precarious.
Elder Bliss, Of Belle Plaine, explained
this deplorable condition of affairs at the
meeting yesterday. On the suggestion OF
DIR. Sinclair the presbytery decided to
meet at Jordan Feb ID, in order that
the people might have their difficulties
adjusted
Rev. E. F. -spicer, who is in charge at
Rush City and Forest Lake, was also
made u member of the presbytery.
