SEVERAL arrests have been made
at Parsonburg, near Laurel, Del,
owing to a fence that had been
erected around the grove where the
camp meeting was being held.
Some of the camp officials We're in
favor of erecting fence and charg-
ing an admission of five cents, and
others were vigorously opposed to
the measure. Those in favor of
the fence won and it was built, but
the factions became more bitter with
each other as camp time drew near,
the whole town taking sides, accord
ing to their way Of thinking. Last
Friday night fire broke out III a
nearby barn. The camp was soon
depopulated of it's followers. When
they returned, somebody had re-
moved the much discussed fence.
It appears as if little more Of the
spirit of the Holy Ghost would do
these people considerable good.
They require more that u camp
meeting to exclude the old Adam
from their composition. What kind
of a Christian is one who will fight
over such trltle as Il fence, espac-
tally when it was erected to help to
swell the contributions. You cant
run a camp on wind, there are OK
penses that must be met. X the
parson can straighten out this snlrl
we would ask him to come to Will
mington and see if he cdn straight
en- out the snarl in the Republican
party.
IT looks as if there would be a
clash in the coal regions the first OF
next week, as soon us the mines at
tempt to start up with IOn-union
men. There is no doubt but that
is what a number Of the opnr1tprs
intend to do and then call upon the
State to protect them. 1t makes it
very unpleasant for the militia Of
PENNSYLVANIA to have to do duty i'll
the coal regions, as nearly all Ut
them ara working mon themselves
and depend on their daily labor for
a living. The outlook IS that the
strike will be broken b" the working
of the mines under the protection
of the soldiers 1t is too bad that
the matter could not be arh!tratpl
and the big loss to the people at
large stopped Hundreds of manu-
facturers who have been burning
anthracite coal will hereafter Use
bituminous coal which means the
loss of thousands of tons Of coal
to the operators and owners Of miues
in Pennsylvania. Several thousand
miners have left the coal regions
and procured work elsewhere.
THERE is one way out Of the diff
Guilty which the Regular Republican
members of that party can settle in
ten minutes or less time. Call an
extra session of the Legislature.
Let all Republican members of that
body 60 into caucus for two /. >.
Senators and abide by the result.
That would settle all disputes be
tween the Union and Regular Re
publicaus and insure the election Of
the Republican ticket thrDut nrut
the State at the election in Nuvtm-
Der. There is ~ Use III hyiulng
out the olive branch if it is cpntln-
ually spurnel and all UveTtnres for
compromise refused. The voters
are tired of this contention, which
gives Delaware no representation
in the L. ), Senate kememb"r
the fate of hundrH l. VI others who
would rule or ruin.
THE people waLt wild yesterday
when the WiInIl! 2 IN \. \. won
from the Boston nue i'll the ninth
inning. The croWl threw then
hats, coats and umbrellas up III til,
air and jumped up and down tra t.
ell coats and Rugged one another in
their excitement. as one run aft"l
another was made. The home team
was goose eggel until the ninth in.
ming, when they sluggel the baI
for five runs, thereby winning the
game. Dock Blputh pitched aud of
course was highly eIatal over win
ming the game. Tno attendance
was about 800. Both Wilmington
clubs are playing good ball.
FROM what Assistant Postmaster
General Wynue has given ont abou
postmaster> and governments EN-
ployes, they are not supposed tC
take any part in politics. But the!
have right to contribute to tn,
campaign fund it they want t.
1t must be hard for Federal official!
to keep out OF politics after havin!
taken an active interest in them 70
years.
