New Orleans Couple Veil Their
Actions in Secrecy.

There was a sensational wedding
of strangers in Fulton this morn
ing. Additional interest and Gu
riosity is lent to the marriage by
the glamour of secrecy, which the
wedding party have thrown around
their movements. They seem tc
shuink from any publicity about
it, and one of the attending parties
shrugged his shoulders and said
he hoped the newspapers would not
make sensation of it.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rnmbling sound ur
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be,taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,

A HOPELESS STRUGGLE.

From the Daily Republican.
AS predicted in the Republican when
John Biggs was deposed from the chair
manship of the Democratic State Central
Committee, Mr.. Willard Salisbury has
consented to lead the party to victory in
its hopeless struggle this year in Della
ware. This plan was agreed to before the
convention convened in Dover two weeks
ago and was sprung on the convention
in snap shot order by John w. Gray.
The other members OF the committee
are Charles G. Clifton, of FELTON,, secre-
tary, and George H. Draper, of Milford,
treasurer. The committee will 60 to work
and a red hot campaign is promised in
Delaware. AS Republican we have no
fear of the result with anything like a
united Republican party. The deposed
State Central Committee will think it
lack in being thrown overheard and Mr..
Handy's choice selected in their stead,
before their terms had expired. Com.
mon courtesy would have allowed the
geAtIemen to serve it out. 1t only goes to
show what the Democrats would do il
our State if the Legislature was handed
over to them, when they ride rough shoe
over their party associates who were il
accord with them on the Presidential
question. What could Republicans ex
pect? But some men are SO blind tina
they can not see beyond their nose, il
their madness because things did no
turn out ae they wanted them to at tn
National Convention. We cannot Away
have our way, but their is no reason VIII
we should play the baby act because ou
wishes or desires are not carried out. Th
Democratic party in this State is not
unit by any means and they will run u
against some hard propositions befor
The campaign is over.

ALL DESIFM SUCCESS.
From the Milford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Feelings had grown SO intense, and
personalities had entered so deeply lnto
the political situation in Delaware, that
it should not be expected that a calm
and dispassionate survey OF the political
situation would be made in the brief
time which has elapsed since the Phila-
delphia Convention adjourned. ibis
especially from those who were disap-
pointed by its action. There are so many
elements to be looked after that the
rounding up will entail concessions all
around, and even then certain few
will probably stand off and sulk, or
fight openly with the enemy-the Demo-
cratic party.
From Wilmington and New Castle
county words OF sense and wisdom have
already come forth, and before the sum
mer comes to an end the warning fac
tions Of Republicans in Delaware will
have agreed to adjust their differences
by entering common primaries and 10y
ally supporting one ticket.
There must be no ostraclsm oi Re-
publicans, and the arbtrament OF COM
mon primaries should be the only con-
dition imposed for loyal support OF the
whole ticket.
The past four years mas engenueTeu
great bitterness of feeling between Re
publicans with different views which
must receive due consideration, and
possibly mistakes have been made which
have widened the breach. But nursing
a grievance will not remove the trouble
and we believe the time is ripe for COO
and thoughtful consideration of wha
the future has in store for the Republic
can party in Delaware. Our faces arr
turned to the front and future, and will
a united Republican party, loyalty sup
porting the State and county tickets
Delaware will give handsome majoritie
for us next November.
After all our strife and pickering al
Republicans desire Republican success il
Ie aware. There is no difference @
opinion about this, and the only differ
ence claimed has been on the Senatoria
ou uestion. This is important to the nation
at-large, but our State and county go,
ernment is of far greater Importance
the people Of Delaware. The Democrat
party realizes this, and it is making il
last grand stand to roll back the Repul
lican wave that will surely enguf theI
in November-if the Republicans of De
aware are true to themselves-and "
believe they will be. No man, or set (
men, can afford to defeat the will of tt

USE OF CHARACTER.
, New York Times, June Is.

From the New York Times, June S.
A journal has character, or char
acter lessness, of its own. If a journal
OF character il misled into doing injustice
to a man, it is quite as anxious to repair
the injustice, in justice to its own char
acter, as be can be to have it repaired in
Justice to his. II characterless ionrnal
abuses man, the man necessarily cares,
80 weak is human nature, and desires to
'do something" But, except in his SEN
sibiiities, he has received no harm. No
body else cares. Nobody thinks worse
of him for having been lied ab lut by a
newspaper of no character than for hav-
ing been barked at in the street by vel
low dog. He is judged by his acquain.
tapces according to their own knowledge
of him, and to what they hear about him
from sources IN which they confide. A
reckless newspaper pays the penalty oi
its recklessness in finding that nobody
pays any attention to what it says, eve
when it says things WORTHY of attention.
And certainly no mans character wat
ever taken awav by mere newspaper
abuse. Tine use of character is 10 be Q
shield against calunny."

New York, April 5.-Reports received
by the strike committee of the Brother
hood of Carpenters in the Bronx are to
the effect that very few carpenters were
stil on strike throughout the borough,
and 1t was expected that all would be
back at work by the end of the week. A
fight between two unions, the Amalga-
mated Society of Plumbers and Gasfit-
tiers and the National Brotherhood of
Plumbers, was the cause of sympa-
thetic strike yesterday on the building at
Broadway and Cedar street. The Anal
gamated society affiliated with the board
of walking delegates and complained that
several of its expelled and suspended
members had joined the National Broth
erhood and were working on the building
The board thereupon ordered a general
sympathetic strike on the building against
the National Brotherhood men, and about
100 men walked out
