We're Afraid to Trust Each Other.

The correspondent Of a Whining
ton paper sums up the situation
that prevailed at Dover last week
as follows
For almost two months, the Union
Republicans have said "Addicks or no.
body" the Democrats have cried
"either Kennev or Salisbury or no
body" and the Regular Republicans
have replied, nobody in preference to
the men you name"
Democrats blame the Regular Repub-
Leans for the failure to effect a comhi-
nation of the two forces, and Regul r
Republi, ans blame the Democrats.
eff the Regular Republicans had sat
istied us that they could have landed
five or seven votes" DEMOCRATS say.
1--WE would have furnished votes suffi-
cient to have elected a Democrat and a
Regular Republican" "Ifthe Demo
Gratis had satisfied us that they could
have landed - votes, " Regular Repur-
licans declare, "we would have furn-
ished five votes, and possibly seven. y
| Democrats assert that they could not
get the promise of more than two Reg
ular Republican votes, and Regular Re
/ publicans allege that they were in
formed that the Democratic column
would have been rent if an attempt had
been made to execute the proposed deal.
emOcrats aver that they negotiated
With the Regular Republicans, but the
latter were too timid, and Regular Re
publicans contend that they appealed
to the Democrats, but their proposition
was rejected.
The facts are, that there were
TOD MANY factions in the Demo
c.atic party to deal with.

only hope in tB possibility that

deItaken too difiult to be carried
to a successful isSe. The opinion
is expressed by rpublicans and by
democrats that he developments
of the nine moths between the
Fifty-sixth andthe Fifty-seventh
Congresses WI determine much
for the political future of the
country. The President is placed
in a position q carry out his policy
without thepossibility of interior
ence. unle5s the decision of the
Supreme Court with reference to
the status of our new possessions
shouli be such as to lead to a
change of policy, and if the result
of tie Presidents exercising the
wide discretion left with him is re-
sonably satisfactory it is believed
that the opposition will not show
greater strength during the next
session or Congress than it did in
the SESSION recently ended. 1t is
felt that the responsibility has been
placed upon the President to shape
the prospects of his party in the
next congressional election. If
good results follow the Presidents
course during the vacation of Con
gress, the leaders of the opposition
will have but little confidence of
being able to carry the House at
ID sAnext election. Looking far
ahead the democrats cannot see a
prospect of success for their party

HarringtOn's Murder Mystery.
BENDING SUSPECTED OF MURDER OF
G. W. HEARN, RELEASED.

BENDING SUSPECTED OF MURDERO OF
G. W. HEARN, RELEASED.
The Harrington murder case is
deeply shrouded in mystery-so far
as any light was thrown on it BY
the coroner's inquest. The jury
empanelled to hear the evidence
was an unusual gathering of men,
and their foreman being a preacher
land therefore a politician) the case
was managed from his standpoint.
There were several tits and clash
ings between the Acknowledgement
and the Foreman.
Daniel Bending, who was ares
ted OH suspici Il of being implicated
in the brutal murder of aged Geo.
w. Hearn for his money, was re-
leased from custody Saturday morn
ing. His release was not wholly
a surprise to many people, although
the state had woven a chain of cir
cumstantial evidence around Bend
ing that was deemed strong enough
or jury i'll the upper courts to in
vestigate.
The coroner S jury however after
tedious and exhaustive examina-
tons of everybody and everything
connected in the remotest way with
the case, failed to connect Bending
with the murder.
While Bending is free and the
corOner's jury has been discharged,
the State has not by any means
abandoned the case, and Attorney
General Ward will probably follow
out a line of secret action which
may yet bring the murderer Of
Hearn to his accounting.
Mr. Hearn funeral took place
on Friday from the residence of his
sister Mrs. Levin S Gordy at Guam
ticO, Wicomico county, Md, min,
miles from Salisbury.

Bay-tO-Ocean Canal.

The House of Representatives
committee at Washington on rail
ways and canals, agreed to favora-
bly, report Mr.. Mudd's resolution
providing for the appointment of a
commission of three--one from the
army, one from the navy and one
civilian-to examine and appraise
the works of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Co. and to examine
and report on the Sassafras, Queens
town, Centreville and Wye river
routes, and to also report upon the
possible cost of a ship canal alol g
such routes and the value it is 10
be to commerce. The commission
is to be appointed by the Presi-
dent. As it happened that the res
olution was improperly referred to
the committee on rivers and ha =
bors, it was necessary to have the
reference changed to the committee
on railways and canals before it
could be reported to the House.
This was done at once. After a
consultation with Mr.. Mudd, Sena-
tor Elkins presented to the com
mittee on commerce an amendment
to the river and harbor bill which
provided substantially the same in
vestigation as that provided for in
Mudd's resolution. Senator FL
kins' amendment was for a survey
under direction of the Secretary of
War, of the Chesapeake & Della
ware Canal and the Sassafras and
Choptank routes with a view of as.
certaining the cost of constructing
and maintaining a ship canal and
its value to commerce, and the
shortest route between Baltimore
and the Atlantic ocean.

Found Oil Ten Years AGO.


Israel Falk, former reside mt OF
Lafayette, arrived from New Or
leans yesterday. 1t will be remem-
bered that about ten years ago Mr..
Falk dug for oil on his land near
the Southern Pacific yards, and, it
is said, found a small quantity of
the fluid. Owing to lack of money
Mr.. Falk was unable to make a
thorough investigation and he was
compelled to discontinue the work.
Mr. Falk says that an oil expert
will be here in a few days to inves-
tigate and if his Investigations
should prove favorable the neces-
sary capita! will be secured for i'm
mediate operation. The Gazette is
informed by credible gentlemen of
this town that oil in small quaint
ties was found by Mr.. Falk at the
time mentioned. Mr.. Falk has
never doubted the existence of oil,
in his lot and he says that he is
more confident than ever.
