Black is black, and white is white.
And wrong is wrong, ana right is right
Your gracious words, your sophistries.
The smiling knave may greatly please;
But lies Of good or in intent
Arc lies, though great their garnishment,
For
Black is black and white is white
And
Wrong is wrong and right is right!
Ye sons Of God on Blended knees,
Are there no pious blasphemiesg
oh. then proclaim from pow to pew
The duty that you failed TO do.
And thus cheat Heaven. IL you can,
As you would cheat your fellow man.
But
Black is black and white is white.
And
Wrong is wrong. and right is right
Is fraud inviting that sucooedsg
Has righteousness no urgent needs?
Shall wrong be done that good may come
When thieves break in shall men stand

Away with these evaslve liesi
The honest tongue straishtway replies.
That
Black is black, ana white is white.
And
Wrong Is wrong. and right is right,

A Pure FOOD LAW NEEDED.

over in New York the coroner in
~ investigating a number OF deaths
in particular neighborhood has
reached the conclusion that cheap
whiskey was the cause. Il has been
discovered that in certain grade Of
this liquor sold there, wood alcohol is
the principal ingredient. And yet New
York has pure food law under which
supervision is given over intoxicating
beverages.
Bishop Potter recently created a sem
sation by dedicatiug a saloon, the pro-
prietors Of which justified their en-
trance into the saloon business on the
ground that they were to sell pure
beverages only. At about the same
time an English clergyman purchased
saloon near Stratford-on-Avon. an
nouncing that the malt liquors which
had been sold there contained poisons
and that he would sell only liquors free
from noxious chemicals and drugs.
Here in Delaware there is no pure
food law. People can buy any article
from cheap whiskey that is poisonous
to food compounds that are injurious
to health. and which contain lying
labels. and there is no statute TO pro-
hiht. And yet in the matter Of liquor
selling the state exercises partial
supervision. II il issues its license
authorizing men 10 sell liquor should
it not also hold some supervision over
the kind Of goods dispensed
We don't think we should be satis-
fled by the position. III men are fool
ish enough to drink. let them look out
for themselves" Poisons in liquors
and in foods help TO undermine public
health to M our asylums and detract
from the prosperity OF the people.
Delaware needs pure food law. one

sequence. while whig and Democrat
denounced them as Missionaries who
should give up their fight arguing that
they could not possibly succeed.
And what arguments do both Of the

Laurel. Oct IA.
Edtor Of The Evening Journal:
While all true Republicans regretted
that Or. Chandler could not head a
united ticket. they were not responsible
for the political conditions that existed
in the encc united party when nomina-
ton hy convention was absolute.
Tho conditions that have made it neces-
sary since 1896 20 have compromises that

This etoction is the beginning Of the end.
The men who compose the Republican
State Committee are as true 90 their prin-
clnlcs and their party as they have ever
been. There has been no surrender on
their parl to Asdicks nor Addicksism,
and these who because Of disappointment
IN their candidacy would have IL appear
that they are "holior than thou" and
that they may have ticket that they
may maintain that holiness, will find the
day after the election that they We're not

the Democratic newspapers and professed
Democratic sympathisers would make
them hcllcvc they would be before their
ticket was made up and filed.
