IT Is NOW apparent that if the demo-
Gratis in the State of Delaware agree
upon suitable candidates they will lie
able to carry the State Legislature and
elect their representative in Congress
and regain control of the State which
should never have been lost. The ieud
in the republican ranks is of such long
standing and of such implacable char
acter that it cannot be smOOthed over.
Opportunity is thus thrown into the
hands of the leaders of the democracy
not only to recover control Of the State
government, but to institute such need
ed. reforms as will make control perma-
nent. The fact that two United States
Senators are to be chosen by the next
legislature gives to the contest unusual
national significance. The democratic
organization within the State for this
reason should have whatever legitimate
aid may be necessary at the hands OF the
national organization.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. IL. 1872

CONTRARY to all predictions, the
strike of the anthracite coal miners con-
tinues. and. there are now no more in
dications of break in the cloud than
were apparent months ago. The picture
is a serious one to contemplate, as the
summer season is passing away and cool
nights and mornings are bringing to
mind the fact that the need of coal will
soon be felt. This unfortunate condi-
ton of affairs and the terrible unceT-
taintv as to whether or not they are to
be continued until the snow begins to
fall is producing anxiety all over the
country. and the cruel suspense is said
to be prolonged by man named
Mitchell. heretofore to fame unknown,
who is allowed to hold the key to the
situation. 1t is suggested by people
who are in positions to know that a
majority of the miners, if left to them
selves. would have returned to work
long ago, but that this individual has
stood as a barrier to such n movement
in hopes that he will eventually be rec
ognized as the one man III the broad
domain of the United States who shall
al libitum cause the coal bins OF mil
lions of free people to become empty and
remain so. The object of such a
man. unnatural and illogical as it is, is
revolving to all lovers of liberty, and
should his preposterous claims be al
lowed and precedent established
numbers of wOuld-be pOtentates
will spring up as mushrooms and en-
deavor to control the production of
other necessaries of life. Struggling
human beings, especially the rank and
file of these United States, have much
with which to contend from the cradle
to the grave in the way of tariffs, class
legislation and other unjust measures
which rather increase than diminish,
Int when men with no credentials what
ever for prominence forge to the front
and assume they have the right to shut
that no man may open and open
that no man may shut and deprive their
feIlow-beings of fuel, the gift of a munif-
icient heaven, they become enemies to
the human race and sooner or later will
bring upon their own pates the ven
ceance of an incensed Creator.

GERMAN ARMY MANOEUVRES.

manoeuyres at Frankfort-oh-Oder had
been real war the Blue, or imperial,
army would have been totally wiped out.
Neither the artillery nor the cavalry
we're able to prevent the retreat OF in
fantry, the centre of which was broken
By the Reds. As a result, it is believed
that General Won Lignitz, who was in
command of the Blues and who has
hitherto been persona grata with the
Kaiser, will resign at the end of the
manoeuvres.
Frankfort, Sept. 1.-THE Kaiser won
a big victory IN the manoeuyres here to-
day He first brought together all the
clvaIry of both the reds and blues, max
ing sixteen regiments in all, and then
took personal command of the horse
men. At their heads with drawn sword,
he ordered the charge and at furious
gallop he led his cavalrymen against the
unfortunate red army. When the reds saw
the Kaiser coming the order was immedi-
ately given to retreat. Still the Kaiser
came on with his sixteen dashing regl-
ments following closely. The reds re-
treat was soon turned to route. The
Kaiser dashed against the unprotected
infantry and for five miles pursued the

''MITCHELLISM' Is now recognized
term for an infectious distemper that
always exists in sporadic cases, but
which at times becomes epidemic under
certain conditions. 1t is now at an
acute stage in certain parts of Pennsyl-
vania, and various speculations are rife
as TO the period which is to intervene
before the crisis shall have been past.
Several people of more or less promi-
hence have during the past few weeks
imagined they had discovered panaceas,
but when put to the test they were
found to be impotent. OF course, the
disease will run out eventually, like all
such plaques, leaving its victims poorer
but by no means wiser men. The
remedy for 'Mtchellism" is to teach
the workingman independence and en-
deavor to incite in him passion to act
according TO the dictates of common
sense. The disease will then find moth
ing upon which to feed, and the origina-
tors of such distempers will find them
selves out of job Many workingmen
have become immune and although
Mitchellism often RACES all around them
they never contract it. Ii is about time
all who toll and spin were in the same
condition.

business. The dying burglar refused

THE ridiculous extremes to which the
Chinese exclusion act is carried has
frequently been commented upon, and
all sensible people know that if the
Chinese had votes in this country the

to show the unjustness Of the law re-

out how its effects reacted upon this
country. He recently said: eff exist

any fanatic to denounce the boy and
make it very unpleasant for him. |
hope within few years that the states
men of both countries will find some
basis of law which will permit Chinese
merchants and students to reside in this

the hope expressed by Mr.. WI, all

of all sorts and conditions go to China
when they please, and remain there as
long as they choose to do so.

ALL indications point to democratic
success in Maryland this year. The
independent element in the party has
nearly become extinct, and the republic
cans are quarreling among themselves,
while the regular democratic organiza-
ton is strengthening in power and con-
troll. All these things, with the promi-
nence in the party councils which Mr..
German shows that he still possesses,
together with the attitude of the party
on national questions, have served
to encourage the Maryland democrats
to renewed exertions. Mr.. German
as well as his friends fully recog-
nize the fact that his future largely
depends upon the results of the Congress
sional fight this year and the State cam
Paign next, and they will leave no stone
unturned to place Maryland firmly in
the democratic column.

candidates for the speakership, all of
whom are now busy laying plans to Sc
cure the much coveted position. Vir-

the Seventh district, one of the ablest
representatives from the State. He is
now chairman of the democratic caucus,
and is recognized as one of the best
equipped members of the House, being
in every way qualified for the Speaker
ship. and should he be elected to that
position the House would be presided
over by tried and true democrat, a

and without reproach. The Seventh

A WOULD-BE TRACY.-T. w. Will
lams, of Roanoke, man under the in
fuence of morphine, was rescued from
the hands of mob of Infatuated negroes
with considerable difficulty at Norfolk
last night by the police. Williams,
who also says that his name is w. t.
Brown, told large crowd Of negroes
that he was a relative of Harry Tracy,
the outlaw, at the same time pulling
revolver and firing, taking aim at
quatered ofnegroes All Of the bullets
went wild, and the negroes rushed at
him and prevented him from firing more
shots. Williams would without doubt
have been murdered had it not been for
the timely arrival of a patrol wagon with
officers The officers had a hard time
driving the enraged negroes away and
had to use their clubs freely. Many Of
the negroes shouted "lynch him." and
if they had had more time they would
probably have carried out their threat.
Many of the mob followed the wagon
with the prisoner to police headquarters.
Williams, it is said is a confirmed NOR
phine fiend and the deeds Of Tracy
p'eyed upon his mind to such an extent
that he attempted ia emulate the Western
outlaw.
