We would suggest to our friends, and the
public in general, to pay visit to the large
and extensive Ready made Clothing House of
Ward Il Phillips, in this town. 4 few days
ago we dropped in, and were really surprised
to see the large amount OF goods displayed,
and We thought we were certainly in q city
store. 1t really done our eyes good to see so
many goods, and when we inquired of the pro
prietors the prices OF some of the fine suits
that were displayed, we were really surprised
to ses how low they were. 1t has been the
fault heretofore in ready-mAde clothing, that
they were inditferently made; but in looking
over ,keir large stock We found them to be put
up, in style and make, equal to tie custom
make-ln fact every coat is branded with
custom trade mark We also thought that
there was no use of parties in want of clothing
to go away from home to purchase them, when
we had such fine clothing house in our midst
Their stock is certainly large and complete. In
it will be found almost every style and quality
OF goods, from the lower grades of satinettS to
the finest quality of cassimere-and a: prices
that will suit almost every person. They also
keep full line OF Gents Furnishing Goods
consisting OF large, superb and cheap stock
of Underwear, fine White and Cashmere
Shirts, Fancy Bows, of Latest STYLES, Suspend
erS, Collars, and almost everything gentleman
requires for his wardrobe They also have a
Lice line of Hats, Trunks and Valises.


We would earnestly recommend to our
friends aud others, who intend purchasing
goods this faIltO pay this house (the largest
and most extensive in Snlyrns) a visit, and we
feel confident that they will find what we have
written to be true. "A word To the wise is

Is IT TRUE that the Salisbury Ring have
been conniving with leading colored men to
secure the negro vote? Such report has been
freely circulated and is openly charged by
correspondent from Dover. They act on the
principle that desperate cases require desperate
remedies, and are doubtless equal to any emer
gency. Some Of their pets would be good in
an emergency of this kind. 1t is known that
the chairman Of the Salisbury club in this
town proposed to Governor Cannon, whilst on
visit here on one occasion, to raise a negro
regiment, ard asked fer commission as colo
mel of the same. His strong Republican dec
laratious at the Provost Marshals headquar-
ters on one occasion might also give him some
show above others. His Rcpublicanism seems
to be latent, and is brought cut only by extra
ordinary occasions Those who sent colored
representatives to the army might also put in
strong plea, as could those who were going
TO flight the devil with fire" but no plea
would avail

We wish to keep steadily before our readers
the real questions at issue in this County, viz

County, who is in the least conVersant with
the political questions that divide honest
voters and those who wish the continuance of
the rule of the most odious and fraudulent ring
that ever afflicted a people, can be deceived
by the attempt on the part of the Salisbury
ring to attract attention from theV real crimes
and make = diversion from the dreadful state
of the finances, and their heartless and shame

The STATE CAMPAIGN.--The Republicans
throughout the State are greatly encouraged
at the prospect for the State ticket In New
Castle county Ceursey and -Heald meetings
have been or will be held in every town and
village, and there is vim and earnestness
about them that has not been witnessed for
at least two campaigns, and which only hope
of success would produce The "li,te ecc-
ton" was an agreeable surprise to the Repub-
licanss and hasNnade assurance doubly sure"
While they generally loose the inspectors cleo
tion they usually win in the county election.
But this year they had majority of forty four
throughout the county, and expect to elect
their ticket next Tuesday By from 500 to 800
majority. The cOrruptions of the Salisbury
Ring have also opened the eyes Of the Demo
Gratis and discouraged them considerably.


In this county the cattse is greatly strength
ened since the nomination, and the dissatislac
tion then produced has subsided. While many
condemned the mastering spirit evinced by a
majority of the Convention, they recognize the
ability and integrity of the nominees, and have


made to see the importance of electing

Mr.. Ponder and Mr.. Biggs are members Of the
Salisbury Ring and were brought forward
through that agency. The Republicans have
therefore concluded that if leading Democrats
cannot go with this shameless Ring, it Was
more than ever their duty to oppose it and put
honest men in Office If possible. They are ac
cordngly striving to secure the election o
the State ticket


In Sussex the canvass is also active and the
most encouraging reports are received there
from. The Independent" movement which
has knocked the bottom out of the Ring in thi
county is having a silent but potent influence
in that. In short, by an earnest effort, wei
directed, the State ticket can be elected.

ALCOHOL Is FoOD.-AlcohoI fattens;
whiskey is a good tonic; bitters aid
digestion. These are statements made
every day with considerable conf
dence, and in a manner we'll calculat-
ed to impose on certain class of
minds hence, it is we'll that tho friends
of true temperance should have at
hand the weapons of their warfare
against the liquor traffic.


1t alcohol is food, why not give it
to our horses? ?


If liquor fattens, why not give it to
our beef cattle, our turkeys and our
pigs; good dram of it night and
morning?


If whiskey is a good tonic, that is,
gives a good appetite, why is it that
so many whiskey-drinkers, the men
who are always full and never empty,
eat so little; and on the contrary al
most live on whiskey? Give them
plenty of whiskey, and they want
nothing else but leisure to drink it.


If"bitters" aid digestion, why is it
that those who take them all the time
are never well?


But suppose that in some cases
spirits do fatten, it is a watery tat
gives no strength, but increases the
inability to work, and the suscepti
bility to all prevalent diseases. In
cholera and all epidemics the liquor
drinkers are the first to die.


If liquor fattens, why is it that We

before her a bright, handsome face,

It has been said by distinguished writer
that bad men assail with far more courage

principles. In most marked manner this
charac teristic of human nature has been
illustrated in the contest through which
the county has passed. While for time

SOME FACTS ABOUT. THE POLICE FORCE
AS there has been some amount of COM
plaint as to the ineficiency of our present
police corps, INDUCED i'll 10y constitutional
grumblers and persons who make it their
business to criticise unfavorably matters in
which they had no meddlng hand, we have
been to some pains to look into this part of
the city government and ascertain the true
state of affairs during the month just ended,
and have found-tirst, as to the health ofthe
force, that out of body consisting OF
eighty-three all told, the average duration
ofSickneSs has been 1.22 ofa day. So much
for time lost on that account.


During the same period there have been
absent without leave none, and absent
with leave eleven-with an average absence
of 3.5 days.


There was only one policeman discharged
for neglect of duty or any other cause.
There were made ,0S0 arrests-54 for felony
and ,026 tor miSdemeanor. The number
of hogs, dogs, and goats captured were $40,
and there were 236 violations of ordinances
reported and fire alarms.
