The strike malady has broken
out in a mild form in this city.
Because a non-union colored brick
LAYER was employed upon the new
100000 war college in the south
ern part of the city, twenty-four
union bricklayers threw down their
trowels, and marched out of the
arsenal grounds. This is the size
of it. It is the closed shop ques-
ton again on a small scale, but even
if the American Federation of La
Dor is behind the strike, ,as has been
alleged, it is not believed that the
matter will assume any impor-
tance. The strikers say that the

strike consists Of a few fremen at a

brewers refuse to advance the price

that the beef strike has been set

to Secretary Morton Of the Navy,
who was in Chicago at the time.
He had a brother who is largely
interested in the company which
was on strike, and he used his in

Me Democrats Of Delaware are

The Democrats of Delaware are
now openly boasting Of their inten-
ton to have a Doodle campaign
this year, rolling meanwhile the
names of Belmont and Davis under
their tongues like the sweetest Of
morsels. And yet it seems, some
how, that we have a dim recollec.
ton as to these same Democrats,
and can even yet hear the echoes
that come from the reverberations
made by lheir loud denunciations
of campaigns conducted in such
fashion, while the sounds still come
to our ears from the mouth of a
preacher openly praying in a Dem
ocratic convention against such po-
litical methods
Now the Sentinel" is not in a
complaining mood. Not at all.
1t only desires to keep the true
character of the Pharisees and hyp-
ocrites before. the public. More
over, there is nothing inconsistent
about this frank admission by the
Democrats to have a Doodle cam
paign. In this State the Demo
cratic party has been a Doodle party
for at least two generations. But
for the last ten years, having got at
loggerheads with each other, and
having been confronted with an
equal ability on the part of their
political enemies, and especially, in
addition, having suffered defeat at
their own game, they thought the
proper thing to do was to assume
the meek and goodly raiment Of
virtue, and with righteous, protest
ing mein fool certain good but very
simple people who are esteemed to
be easy victims at this confidence
game. But there is to be a redivi-
vus. While they will continue to
shout against the Union Republi
can party, and John Edward Ad-
dicks, its leader, they intend to in
form the voting public generally
that they are in for game. This
return to ancient practices has been
brought about by two casses. First,
because their hypocrisy has been
thoroughly exposed; and second,
because the promise of a large brib
cry fund from e-PresideDtial
Candidate Davis, August Belmont
and others, is altogether inspiring.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The return to town next week
of the President to keep bachelor 5
hall for three weeks in the renova-
ted White House, will give addi-
tional life to the city, fill up the
hotels, and set the political Caul-
dron to bubbling Everything is
coming his way. Advices from
the different states where factional
differences existed i'll regard to
State matters, show that there IS
no falling out over the Presidential
candidate. The letter of Mr.. Os-
car S. Straus announcing that he
had abandoned the Democratic
party, and will make it a privi-
lege no less than duty to dedicate
my best services to your election, ~
came as a pleasant surprise in the
mail received at Sycamore Hall
There is reason to believe that
many other surprises of a similar
nature will be forthcoming
Gentlemen connected with the
Executive Department are often
surprised at the dispatches sent
from Washington and the critj-
Cisms which they receive in the
press. Quite a breeze has been
created i'll some very respectable
newspapers over the announce
ment that the Government will not
allow the wreck of the Maine,in the
harblr Of Havana,to be raised and
removed, even after the contractor
has paid the Cuban government
for the privilege. Letters have
been received at the Navy depart
ment asking if this can be true.
Why the public should take such
au interest in mass Of twisted and
rusted worthless iron is hard to
There are those who
contend that the Maine has been
abandoned by the United States
and that it now belongs to Cuba,
and therefore the President has no
right to Interfere in the matter Cf
its removal. Your CORES pondent
called upon Judge Advocate Darl-
ing, of the Navy, to get the Gov
ernlnents opinion Of the matter,
the question having been referred
to him for an opinion. He very
frankly said that in reply to an in
quiry from the contractor, he gave
it as his opinion that the wreck
still belongs to the Government,
and before it can be disposed Of it
will be necessary for Congress to
take action" This opinion is not
a command, and the contractor can
60 on with his work if he thinks
best. 1t will probably be a long
time before Congress will consent
to have the wreck raised.
1t is surprising how many of the
present Cabinet officers are Eastern
,nen, either by birth or extraction.

the following editorial from the

edited by one of the radical Demo

piece of sarcasm to swallow. Their
fewness in numbers is the point so
scathingly pointed out by their for
mer friends, and the lack of value

circus is forced home. It reads as
follows

his convention next month, Gra-
Cious Who'll be the gallery.

no crust at all on it When a del
egate makes a speech he'll have to

on the convention. Our worthy

THE negro question will be very
prominent part of the Democratic
campaign in Delaware, and the
negro had as well face the condi-
tions squarely, as their political fu-
ture in this State will depend upon
the results OF the November cleo
tions. Should the Democratic party
get control of the two branches of
the legislature and the governor p
ship, there would be enacted laws
which would preclude negro suf-
frage and make it almost impossi-
bic for the white voter, unless he
chooses to cast his vote for the Dem
Ocratic machine, TO cast ballot.
Jim Crow cars would be universal
over the peninsula, and the negroes
may find that flirting with Democ-
racy may mean political suicide
after it is too late.
