EDEN REDIsCOyERED.

The latest archaeological discovery of
Importance is the finding of the site of
ihe Garden of Eden. 1t is the State Of
Delaware and the discovery was made
by the Young Mems Democratic Club.
Strange to say, this wonderful territory,
according to the discoverers of its par
ticular and peculiar virtues, remained
without "blot or STAIN up to within
few years ago. The sanctity of this pe-,
culiar land is fully attested in the fact
that it remained without blot or stain"
during the whole of the infamous Demo
cratic regime which permanently blotted
and stained every other foot Of American
territory which it touched. The infamy Of
slavery, the reasonable sympathies OF
local Democrats, the tyranous laws, the
open and violently corrupt political
practices by which its citizens were rob-
bed both singly and in the aggregate, by
which the purity OF the ballot was de-
bauched and the integrity Of the fran
chise des royed, never even blotted or
stained its fair name. 1t was (is) still
Eden. No Democratic villany could alter
that fact. Democrats testify to that, But
still it was Eden lost. 1t was found when
Republicans fought against and overthrew
Democratic corruption and misrule. The
virtue, the brightness and glory Of Eden
is again discovered lis rediscoyered just
as the Democrats are being driven out Of
it's rediscovered by the backward look
OF the departing.

immediate themselves upon the altar OF
political necessity-they become mendi-
cant political friars, and with doleful
countenances, eyes red with weeping, |
they implore curses of God, and aims OF
men, for the defeat of the Union Repub-
licans. What beggarly lot. Mr.. Sauls-
bury has promised the committee
$25,000. What for? With this immense
sum OF money in hand, they are asking
for public contributions for a campaign
fund, and at the same time declare they
"cannot and would not contest the elec-
tion with money" For what then do
they want money?
The answer to this question in the ad-
dress of this Democratic committee to
the public is infamous. They have. pro-
jected scheme to frighten Union Re-
publicans away from the polls. In this
scheme they propose to tempt the un-
scrupulous to make false accusations, to
commit perjury and send innocent men
to prison for daring to work and vote
against this thieving, begging and lying
Democratic party. This party which
declares its intention to offer rewards Of
from $1,000 to $1,000 for information
, leading to the conviction Of Union Re.
publicans, and only Union Republicans
Democrats and bolter Republican
caa violate everv provision Q
the law, and be rewarded 10
falsely swearing away the liberty
of Union Republican. That is tht
Kentucky scheme by which. the Demo
Gratis Of that State are trying to conyic
Republican ex-State officials Of murder
Ii is a scheme Of bribery OF the loves
and meanest sort. II is the kind tina
bribes to false witness, to perjury an
murder 1t is adopted by men VIII

State who would not hesitate to accus
5 any one OF murder, and swear Iii
= away, to get $5 900; and this Democrat
committee, pretending to = exercise
: virtuous care for the State, make
itself the accomplice of thes
would-be murderers. 1t instructs il
u expected informants-the would /
u murderers for So, ,000-to select the be
u men among the Union Republicans {
ie the victims of their evil designs, and

" breaking" to the ordinary legal m,
:, chinery.
- This is one OF the most dastardly
schemes for political intimidation ar

1t is humorous in its desperation. II

SCHOOL JANIToRs MEET.

Committee on Fuel, Heat and Ven-
tiiation Held Conference
A meeting considerably out of the or

AN INFAMOUS SCHEME.

The reports of the proceedings Of the
Democratic Stat5 Committee at Dover,
On Thursday, are contradictory. We
have been reliably informed that State
Chairman Salisbury promised the State
Committee $4,000 for campaign fund.
Yet with this promise made, the COM
mittee says in an address to the good
citizens of the State:
We have no money, and even the
meager amount necessary for the ordin.
ary purposes of politician campaign can
scarcely be obtained.

ENGLAND NOT RECOGNIZED
SHE IS NOT CONSIDERED A GREAT
NORTH AMERICAN POWER.
One Reason Why the Hay Paunce-
fOte Treaty Was Further
Amended.

The statement by the London Times, in
discussing the Senate action on the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, that Mr.. lodge forgets
that England is a great North American
power,' hits upon the very point which
was much in contemplation by the Senate.
As the discussion Of the treaty progressed
in the Senate the impression grew that the
mere question Of the construction of the
Nicaragua canal was secondary in the
British purpose Of the treaty to the estab-
lishment of a principle OF coequal interest
on the part of Great Britain with the United
States in the affairs Of this continent. To
some persons the canal came to seem the
smallest thing in the treaty, while the re-
habilitation Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
with an enlarged recognition Of the right
of Great Britain to voice IN the affairs OF
this continent, appeared in every line Of the
treaty. There was a decided objection in
the Senate to the recognition of England
"a great North American power" and
the impression became very strong that the
main purpose of the British government
was to secure this recognition.
AS long as the canal alone was In con-
temptation the question OF whether or not
the United States should have the right to
fortify was the one upon which the Senate
was divided, and the Davis amendment
was regarded by those of most extreme
view as sufficient to render the treaty ac-
ceptable. The discussion 'of the treaty,
however. developed the impression that the
Monroe doctrine was threatened by the
treaty, and that, at the very least, recog-
milton was given to Great Britain as a
party equally interested with us in the af-
fairs of this hemisphere. The further
amendment of the treaty was intended to
relate to this phase OF the question, and
especially to withhold recognition of Eng
land as "a great North American power"
While Great Britain holds sovereignty
over much territory on this continent, it is
ernment, as it is that of the United States
and the opinion is entertained that she
cannot properly lay claim tn the same sort
of interest and influence in this hemisphere
as is claimed by this government. The ex-
pressions of the London Times are regard
ed as strengthening the suspicion that the
Nicaragua canal was not the main thing Of
interest to Great Britain in the Hay
PauncefOte treaty.
