STAND FOX PHE RIGHT.

In one of his recent lectures Bob
 Burdette, the profound philosopher and inimitable humorist presents these lines:
 Cato once remarked that That man approached nearest the gods who knows how to be silent even when he is in the right But sometimes I question if that is the time for the man to keep silent. A fog horn lifts up its booming voice only when everything is in the fog and it is the only thing that anybody can be sure of, and they can only be sure of it when it lifts up its voice. It isn't a pleasant, soft, musical voice, art istically criticised, but it's the sweetest sound you can hear in foggy weather. The man who knows that he is right should lift up his voice, cry aloud and spare not. The fellow who is i'll the wrong never keeps silent. He rends the very heavens with his incessant clamor, even when it isn't cry, but bray. He gets the floor early in the session and has spread himself over fifty pages of the record before the man ill the right has mustered up courage to get upon his legs and say. MT. Speaker" When the man who is rigth keeps silent. dynamite is introduced in Christian lands as a political argument; State treasurers go into office poor and come out rich and in Buenos Ayres; the money-changers and they that sell doves, sit in the porches of the temple; statesmanship yields to pot house politics; men stand at the door of the United States Senate and when asked for their cred entials, absent mindedly pull out their pocketbooks. The man who knows he is right has no right to keep silent. It is not Godlike in him. It is base and cowardly. It is treason to his duty.
 The foregoing expresses exactly the principle upon which THE OASIS has always stood. It has been right, and it has known it was right. It is still right. and it continues to say so. The men whom it has opposed can shoot all the frecrackers they can buy, hire brass bands day and night for weeks, give banquets and bailes to their hearts content, talk glibly about their pull at Washington and appointments ss special agents, and the Lord only knows what not, they have been aud are wroug in their conduct of public matters. THE OASIS has said so, and 1t will continue to say so.

MUNICIPAL CONTROL.

From the Evening journal OF Yesterday.
Wilmington has cause to be proud OF
it's Water Department.. None IN the
United States stands higher for personal
honor and integrity of its members or
for efficient business management. II
has constantly sustained its reputation
in those regards. The city has fire de-
partment that is not anywhere surpassed
for efficiency. 1t has thoroughly ex-
cellent police department. There is one
very striking proof of the efficiency OF
the Wilmington police. A few years ago
this city, owing to its location, 5elng
easy OF access from Washington, Bati-
more, Philadelphia and New York, was
a convenient retreat and rendezvous for
crooks, scoundrels and dangerous rascals
from the greater cities when they found
it best to depart thence. The records
disclose that Wilmington was made ex-
ceedingly dangerous for the rogues.
They were quickly detected by the po-
lice, arrested and sent back to the local-
ties OF their crimes and put upon trial.
The result is that they no longer risk ar
rest by imposing their presence here. 10
the energy OF the police this relief IS
wholly due What can be said OF our
street department that will gratfy the
people Of Wilmington? At least tins
That it does not squander the money
the actual cash OF the city; that in that
respect it is careful. 1t is not TO be de
MED that it is reckless with regard tc
some other things.

HEART BREAKING VALENTINES.
New Castle Man Gets Note Announc-
ing Wife's EIopement.

New Castle, Del, Feb. 15.-On coming
downstairs to his breakfast yesterday
morning, John Genestka found a vaen-
tine on his table. 1t was from his wife,
Mary S. Genestka, and when interpreted
read as follows:
'Dear John: When this reaches you
| will be miles away and will have moth
ing to do with YOU. My mcther made
me marry you against my will. have
loved and will live with the man love.
Don't hunt for US, or you will meet your
death.
"MARy S. GENEsrEA."
This, it is learned, is the outcome Of a
love affair begun in Austro-Hungary
years ago. The woman and the man
with whom she eloped, Jacob L. Schoen-
witz, were raised together in the Father
land and loved each other.
They plighted their love and troth.
The mother of the maid, thinking that
Genestka was the better fixed, COM
PEELED the daughter to marry the choice
of the mother, much against the will OF
| the daughter.
The latter came to this country five
months ago and wrote to her lover where
she could he found. He arrived about
thirty days ago and met her in this city
at the postotlice, and thence they went
to Wilmington, where they purchased
first clas tickets for Williamsport, Pa.
She carried out her oath to meet ana
go with her first love.
Yesterday morning Genestka sold
everything he had and carried gun in
n case and belt of cartridges. He VOWS
he will kill his wife and her lover. The
woman is handsome beauty OF - year;
and might be fit subiect over which u
quarrel.

ECK-AND-NECK OCEAN RACE
Four Schooners in Picturesque Con-
test, But Neither Was
Victorious.


Lewes, DEL, Feb. 15.-The unusual
spectacle OF quartet OF schooners ar
irving neck and neck at the Delaware
Break water was witnessed this morning,
and the reporter for the Maritime EX-
change at this point does not hesitate to
say That it is long time since he saw
prettier sight.
The names OF the competing white
wings are: The f. @. Pendleton, New
York for Brunswick; John Russell. New
Haven for Bogues Inlet; James H. Hoyt,
Boston for Newport News, and the
Golden Ball, New York for Savannah,
When this picturesque four entered the
Breakwater the wind was from the
southwest and blowing twenty-five Knots
an hour. The only reason that the veg-
sell put in at the Breakwater was on &C.
count OF the eXasperating and battling
head winds that prevailed. 1t was just
outside the Clpes that the quartet sight
ed each other. Then began, as though
by mutual consent, race in which
neither proved the victor, for the watch
held by the marine lookout registered
lila as each schooner entered the shell
ter of the Breakwater.
Hard in the wake Of this speeding four
was the schooner James Boyce, from
New York for southern port. From
afar her skipper had seen the flying
quartet speeding for the harbor Had the
distance been longer, the Boyce would
have made a record. AS it was the little
flyer was only eight minutes behind her
rivals.
