Moody, Secretary Of the Navy, did not
take in his department the interest to
be expected of him, but it now trans
pires that Dir. Moody has been hardly
a free agent, having been Obliged in
numerous instances to follOw the dicta-
ton Of the President as against bis own
fnclinations. The President is an ardent
advocate of a general staff for the navy
similar to that just authorized by Con-
gress for the army. Mr.. Moody has
been instructed TO ascertaid the sentl-
ments of the members ST Congress who
accompany him on the cruise on the
Dolphin, on this subject, and to create
for the scheme all the favor he can.
With such a staff it is predicted that
there would be comparatively little
re- possibility left to the Secretary.

THE Democrats desire the repeal
of the Voters Assistant law, and a
delegation from New Castle county
composed largely of men of the
above political faith, are to wait on
Governor HUM and urge him to
sign the bill. If the passage of the
bill was partisan legislation, then
what can be called the action of the
men who desire its appeal ? Are
they impelled by motives pure and
virtuos, as they publicly announced?
or are they seeking to strengthen
the Democratic party at the ex-
Pense of their opponents, the Union
Republicans We have faith
enough in Governor HUM to be-
lieve that he will not be hoodwinked
by the Democratic claptrap Of
morality.

SENATOR CoNNER's remarks on
the voters assistant repealer bill
were blunder that should not have
occurred, and with more legislative
experience that gentlemen would
never have made it. His honesty
Of purpose is not questioned, and
his intent to point out the necessity
for maintaining the law as an aid
to those needing assistance to cast
their vote, is admitted; but the
manner Of his statement nullifed
his argument for the bill, and had
it needed a single vote to pass it,
Senator Connor's speech would
have brought it. Aside from all
this, and bearing most heavily, is
the cudgel it placed in the hand of
is opponents to beat the Governor
GOWN in the eye Of public opinion.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

1t will be good news to the mothers
Of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse This Is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes horse. or even
after the rough cough appears. and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
|,never been known to fail. 1t is. in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season OF the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remtdy. 1t is certain to
be needed before the winter is over,
and results are much more prompt
and satisfactory when 1t is kept at
hand and given as soon as the cold is
contracted and before 1t has become
settled in the system. In almost ev-
cry instance severe cold may be
warded OF by taking this remedy
freely as soon as tire first indication
OF the cold appears. There Is no dan
ger in giving 1t to children for it con-.
tains no harmful substance. 1t is
pleasant to take-both adults and
children like 1t. Buy it and you will
get the best. 1t always cures. For
