Nav cAsrLE,s POSTMASTER.

The re-appointinent Of John c. King
as postmaster at New Castle need occa-
sion no surprise. lie has made a good
officer, and the only opposition TO aim
was political.
There seems to hSve been an under
standing when our senators We're elect
ed that the patronage OF New Castle
should be distributed by the govern
ment authorities under the advice and
suggestion Of Senator BAN. With that
fact in mind. and remembering Mr..
Kings record. there should be no sur
prise at his =e-appointment.
But we fear that the Union Repubii-
can leaders assume too much. they
are not m control Of the whole Repub-
lican party OF Delaware. and there :.
reason for the belief that they viii not

vense themselves on men like Mr.. King

SENSATIONAL SERMON
BY C0LORED PASTOR
The Rev. M. w. Thornton
Would Ram Fist Through
Lincoln's Picture

Exhibiting a picture Of Abraham Lin
coin from his pulpit last night the Rev.
Montrose w. Thornton. OF the Bethel
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
declared that il it were not for the
respect which he formerly had FOR the
martyred President he would ram his
fist through It,
Such a declaration was due TO the
action OF the Pullman Palace Car
Company, OF which Robert Lincoln. a
son OF Abraham Lincoln, is president.
in refusing to allow a negro bishop to
ride in Pullman sleeper.
In referring to the George White
lynching here, the negro minister said:
I would not have to take you many
blocks tonight to show you a murderer
preaching from his pulpit to sinners to
fee from the wrath to come"
Thornton declared that the Demo-
cratic party intends to re-enslave the
negro, and he held that conditions will
be worse than before the war. when
they had protection.
Many negroes have grown tired OF
Thornton's strong utterances against
the whites, and a committee of them
recently waited on him to protest.

Their Salvation.

From the Sussex Republican.
The only salvation OF the Union Re-
publicans and the only hope Of Ad-
dicks is In the election OF Republican
ticket on the other hand the fight Of
the Regulars is tie elimination OF ].
Edward Addioks and this viii be the
result OF straight Union Republican
ticket II the Union Republicans in
sist upon eliminating Addicks and
effacing their party by running a separ-
ate ticket It Is not the purpose Of the
Regulars to interfere In such q COM
mendable enterprise. Let them DO a..
OF course II Addicks is out of IT, and
has given up all hope OF being elected
Senator he, no doubt, VII try to do
this very thing. If he cannot be Sena-
tor, he would delight in turning the
state over 70 the Democrats. but n
kddicks' political supporters who call
themselves Union Republicans, can
stand this, the Regulars certainly can.
So that the whole matter is up to the
Union Republicans. They can pro-
nounce their own death sentence, ac-
complish their own execution and bury
themselves beyond resurrection If they
wish and we do not believe the Regu-
lars will raise hand to present 1t.

AN ACE oE SCIENCE.

Modern engineering is based upon
science. so exact that failure is not con-
templated. Thirty years ago a COM
pany undertook to cut tunnel from
Jersey city to New York under the bed
OF the Hudson River. Difficulties that
were regarded as unsurmountable were
encountered, and the project was aban-
doned.
A number Of years elapsed when an
other company was formed to complete
the work. but one day something went
wrong; about thirty lives We're lost and
the tunnel was again voted failure.
Time passed on, and themodern engi-
neer took up the problem. The work
was pushed from both shores There
was nothing spectacular about Il; the
men under the river pushed their tasks
night and day. Through mud and
through rock the tube was extended
until one day last week the workmen
from the two ends met and Joined the
two holes they had bored. The calcu-
lations We're exact not the fraction OF
an inch had been miscalculated, and the
first tunnel under the Hudson was COM
plete.
This is an age Of great undertake
lngs. AS this work Is finished another
tunnel under the river Is about to be
undertaken. Through this trains from
the South and the West viii run into
New York city, but they viii not stop
there. They win pass under the East
River and on to the terminus at the
Eastern end OF Long Island. We are
less spectacular than we used to be, but
IN the language OF the street we get
there.

ROTATION IN OFFICE.

The question OF nominating holders
Of office for recollection has been re-
ceiving considerable attention recently
one Republican paper down the State
advocates a new State ticket from TOP
to bottom And in this county there is
a rule Of the party which declares
against second terms.
It may be said that nobody has any
exclusive right to an Office. The right
is in the hands OF the voters, If a man
has made an exceptionally good officer,
rejecting credit on his party. 1t may be
wise to tender him a denomination.
But when any man having filled an
office for several years to his financial
profit comes to regard that Office as a
personal perquisite. it is time for the
voters to exerci e the veto power.
We believe that in county and in
state the general rule that four years
Of service in a particular ofiice shall
be the maximum is a good one. II
means one term Tor certain state oili-
GERS and two terms Tor othcrs, and the
principle Is equally applicable to the
county Offices
We are not prepared to say that ther,
are no exceptions, but when the rule &.
suspended, II becomes necessary for tn,
candidate to show that by the admin
istration Of his office and his value tc
his party it is in the interests OF tn,
latter that he should have a re-nomina,
tlon.
There Is one fact that must not bl
overlooked; there are hundreds OF mel
who are clean and capable. who havr
performed valuable service for thei
party. and who in consequence are en-
titled 10 its rewards. Perpetual Office
holding interferes with recognition
Of their claims.

The Delaware Canal.

From the Sussex Journal.
II the Delaware Ship Canal project
as being agitated by Wilmington Board
of Trade does not become a fact con-
sumated it viii be no fault Of the peo-
pie of the Peninsula who are pushing
tho project. Friday a hearing was
had before the House Committee on
Railways and Canals and a large gath
ering OF both the promoters Of the pro-
ject and congressman were in attend
ance.
The project would be Of great bene-
nt to all parts of this state and Mary
land and would open up by way Of the
Delaware and Chesapeake Canal about
$500 miles Of coast lines of the Della
ware and Chesapeake Bays and would
furnish a short route to the Delaware
Bay of the 5000 registered vessels OF
the Chesapeake Bay. by attracting in
dustries and commerce this project
would make better prices and greater
demand for the products Of the Penin-
sula and the Western Shore of Mary
land.
But aside from this. the canal will be
Of inestlmable value from a strategic
standpoint to the government Of the
United States in the time of war. as 1t
would shorten the average trip from
the Chesapeake to the Atlantic about
200 miles and besides furnish a better
and safer way Of entry and exit than
by the mouth OF the Chesapeake. This
would be OF untold Importance in time
OF war. II would also be OF great value
TO the New England towns as il would
mean a saving OF 400 miles in the
round trip to the coal and other vessels
from the New England ports.

The Negro Question.

From the Milford News and Advertiser.

OF the young and aspiring Democratic
statesmen in Wilmington. II viii not take

ment Tho Democrats arc growing very

and Acknowledgement. II By an amend
ment 10 tho Constitution OF the State the
negroes or The State should be deprived OF
the right Of suffrage tho Democratic party
assumes thas It would again become tho
majority party and regain control Of the
State.
At a meeting OF the eolored voters held
at Dover last week, the Rev. M. W.
Thornton, cf Wilmington, made a radical
and ill-tlmcd speech Mr.. Thornton seems
imbued with the fiery Southern nature.
His public utterances are not calculated
to win friends 10 himself or 10 his race
from The conservative element OF society.
lie is too much Of a firebrand too sensa-
tlonai. II is not the kind OF talk that
makes an impression with tho quiet-goinE,
ordcr-loving people OF Che State.
The address OF the Rev. W. c.. Jason,
was in much better taste Mr.. Jason, n
We remember rightly was born on the
peninsula and has inherited somewhat OF
our quiet aud conservative tendencies. His
points were well taken. He appealed to the
good judgment and sound sense of his
auditors. and not to their passion or pre-
iudicc. He made strong speech the main
points OF which were so polntedly true
that all fair minded people must admit
their truth as they carried confinement
to the fair mind. The speaker who by
wild gcstculations and fiery periods plays
upon the emotions rs not the safe leader
The man who calmly and In a dignined
way tells the truth, is the wiser counsellor
and IN the end Will win. The Republican
party has been the friend of the colorcd
race. II was but natural that when the
ballot was given to the colorcd man that
he should ally himself with the Repubi-
can party. IT would have been both un-
natural and ungratefui II It had been
otherwise. The responsibility Is on the
Republican party TO treat the colorcd man
fairly, to give him every opportunity to
improve his condition. to educate him, to
advance him, and as long as the party
win do this, SO long will II be entitled to
the continued fealty and support OF the
colored race.

A NoN.PARrIsAN STANDPOINT.

we quote the following from the
Dover Delawarean, which utterly mis-
apprehends our meaning. and fails to
comprehend that in discussing the
negro question we are treating the
subject from a non-partisan stand
point:
The Evening Journal is illogical and
inconsistent. 1t SCOTS at the warnings
we uttered a week ago regarding the
possibility OF a colonized black vote
outweighing the honest white vote in
this State. Sneeringly the editor re-
marks, "as the ratio Is 5 TO 1--if black
vote can control 5 votes, Il ought, too"
'Tis but q little while since the same
editor re-asserted that he has at times
without number stated, that the Ad-
dicks vote of Delaware was mainly the
negro vote; that the strength OF Ad-
dlcksism rested in the negro vote; but
the negro vote IN the main Is a de-
bauched ana controlled vote We pro-
test that II tho main strength OF Ad-
dicksism Is In the negro voW-then the
negro vote placed the control OF Kent
and Sussex county affairs in the hands
OF Addicks. and gave him a Governor
and the Secretary OF state; it retains
the Voters Assistant law upon our
statute books. In fact the negro vote
as at present distributed. no matter
what the total ratio, is responsible FOR
the very existence Of Addicksism in
Delaware
In the main the above is true. but
our conclusion remains. Tor all do
bauchery and all disorder growing out
Of the corruption OF the franchise. the
white man must assume a large share
OF responsibility. The AddIcks machine
could not have been built up without
the colored vote; but. on the other hand,
the colored man without the leadership
Of a white element. without its money
and its cunning would not have become
a menace to our Institutions We say
that the. white men are largely 10
blame, and It does not affect our pro-
position that they are Addicks men.
Then why aim all the corrective
measures at the negroes--the dupes and
instruments Of an element Of white
