mutation Auctioneered OFF
by u. S. Express Co.

A large number of peopla attended
the old "hoss sale" being held today
by the United States Express Com
pany, at No 421 Market street, this
morning. The bidding was spirited and
a number of parcels were disposed Of.
None of the packages were given to
the purchaers at the time of their pur-
chase, the names of the buyers being
taken and the goods delivered later.
A Jew bought a package for forty
cents. and upon opening it found It
contained a bag Of chestnuts, which
had become hard from their long stay
at the office, and some cakes that had
crumtred from age. In disgust he threw
the package down, and a boy, picking II
up, later opened the corsets and found
a 50 bill pinned to the inside, together
with some new neckties and seyera
other useful articles.
The packages brought all the way
from ten cents to 50, and some rar'

rHArPoLrrIcAL PREAcHER

In the delegation which visited Gov
ernor HUM the other day to ask him
to refuse his signature to the Voters
Assistant repeal bill was David S.
Clark, local preacher OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church MIR. Clark join
ed in the plea to the Governor to let the
law alone And, yet. Mr. Clark knows
OF the workings OF that law as well as
any man in Delaware. This is no vague
statement. as we shall show
In the first place, he has been an ac-
tive worker in the local politics Of
Kenton hundred for years. and at the
last election his son won his admira-
ton and applause at following out the
methods that had been taught him,
When the ballots had been read out on
election night Mr.. Clark was disguised
TO find that his friends had lost the
district by eight votes. Then a certain
PROMINENT local politician. in the pres
| ance of the crowd, bewailed the defeat
saying: "If 1 had known how close il
was. | would have pulled off my coal
and gone down into my own pocket to
the extent of one thousand dollars. but

who said that-none knows him better
will he tell us his name? It woul'
throw some light on the motive for tn
speech that Mr.. Clark made in Dove
before the Governor.
It is a fact THAT cannot be disprovec
that this local preacher is thorough
informed on the workings Of tn
, "Bribers" Assistant law and if h
chose could tell to a nicety how gen
orally It has been used as a Shield an
an assistance to the briber, yet he he

The iearlna Of the LIbeI elII.

From the Philadelphia Press.
No action of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania within recollection has
met with such unanimous, vigorous
and just denunciation on the part Of
the press and people as the passage of
the Salus- Grady libel bill. There has
been no mincing of words I'm charac-
terizing this shameless measure and II
has found no defenders.
The bill is now in the hands of Gov
ernor Pennypacker for his approval OF
veto. He has courteously accorded a
hearing to the opponents Of the meas
ure as well as its supporters at Harris
burg on Tuesday next. SO far as in
dicated by expressed popular senti-
ment. the opponents of the bill embrace
pretty nearly the whole population o.
the Commonwealth. There has beer
practically nothing, but adverse opin'
ion from any quarter It is well under
stood by intelligent citizens that thi
act is aimed TO suppress public opin
ion, and therefore invades the right
not alone of the press, but Of the peo
pie themselves.

Her people are beginning to recognize

cultivation are making her acres to
bloom, where before,all was barren and
unproductive. When our large farms
become several small ones, and every
acre is made to bloom and yield even
to hundred fold, then Sussex, poor
old sandy Sussex, the pitied and de-
splsed of her sister counties will be
the richest and handsomest of them
all. We are almost as big as Kent and

TODAY

Today history is being made. To-
day John Hum. Governor Of Delaware
by the votes of the people, bound to
support the Constitution by solemn
oath. and bound to observe fundamen-
tail moral principles as a matter Of
course will by his act say whether on
not an awful mistake was made when
his name was placed on the ticket.
It may be said, and Governor Hum
in substance has said, there are two
ways of looking at every question; and
the Governor is right The man who
owns silverware thinks that it is his
and that nobody has a right to take il
from him But There are those who
disagree with him, holding that the
ownership may be transferred If the
night is dark enough and the dog can
be poisoned. No; we can't state case
that hasn't two sides, but in the matter
OF the repeal OF the Voters Assistant
act most people have presumed thai
their Governor would regard the moral
issue in the case. Today will reveal
whittier they have been mistaken
Today John HUM as Governor has
a chance TO do the Union Republican
party a great service Should he sigr
the bill it will be said that that partc
Is not united ON the question of bribery
and it would force the leaders to seel
new methods for carrying their WAT
fare, that would not be so objection
able. He would save the~cause of Ad
dicks from a certain amount OF odium
and make it possible for some fairl
good citizens, by stretching of thei
conscsences. to still support the Addicb
party.
