THE THIRD TERN ISSUE is one OF

though subject to such tribulaliOns as
revolutions, earthquakes and the like.
by the seventIeth article of the Con

document long enough, at least, for a
much more populous country - the
President Of Vcnczuela is ineligible TO
re election, even for second term,
and the single term allotted to an in
cumhent of the Chief Maglstracy is of
two years duration only. Moreover,
none of the relatives of IL President, to
the fourth degree of consanguinity or
affinity ,c,.n be elected to succeed him.
One would think that these provisions
of the fundamental law would not only
do away with Cpsarism, nepotism, and
brother-iu .law-ism, bnt would render
revolutions unnecessary by bringing
ing the Presidency within the reach OF
the Republic in his turn.

would seem to have been hoax. The

At Middletown, Saturday, the State
Centennial Commission met a number
OF peach growers, and discussed the
subject OF fitting representation OF
Delaware's Agricultural products al
the Centennial.


A suggestion was made and favor
ably received, to tho effect that the
subject could be properly attended to
by the Peninsula Agricultural and
Pathological Association.


Mr.. Samuel Townsend suggested
that the Commission should hold n
meeting and put the matter into the
hands of the Middletown, Bridgeville
and Laurel Agricultural societies.


Mr.. Bewlcy thought that n good
suggestion, and it was then agreed
that a meeting of the Commission
be held in Dover next Tuesday week,
at which the subject shall be discussed
and if they decide upon this plan, a
meeting of the officers of three socic'
ties shall be called to meet soon after
and take immediate steps to gather

A good public stable and feed yard go to make up an important institution in any town, and per haps more important to the tra- veler than the resident. "A mer- ciful man is merciful to his beast" and when the tired and jaded animal arrives in town, particu- larly after the long stretches in a new country, it is good thing to find a clean, nice stable and pleasant yard to stop at, where there is good feed and good at tention. Such an institution is the Livery Stable and Feed Yard of Redondo & Balz, adjoining the Yuma Exchange, in this town. You can see a horse smile as he is driven up to the gate, for he sees he is going to have a good time inside. It is really one of the cIeanest and best-kept con- cerns of the kind to be found on the Coast. The prOprietOrs also have something reviving for the Inner man, and nice, clean beds for the tired traveller.

They Know How IT FEELs-The Republicans
of Sabetha are very indignant at the way they
have been sold out. They established a paper,
kept it going for two years, when suddenly it
was sold out and became a Tilden paper of the
most rabid sort. They denounce it as an out
rage, resolve to withdraw their patronage from
the paper, and propose steps to start another pa
per. This is all very we'll; but perhaps there
are two sides to the question. They ought to
know that it takes ready money, and lots Of it,
besides hard and steady work, to keep even a
small newspaper going. They knew that Mr..
Wright was pressed for means, and wanted to
sell and, doubtless, he would have given the
preference to Republican purchaser. When
they could have bought the Office for much less
sum than it will require to start a new paper,
they allowed him to go to the wall, and his paper
to pass into Democratic hands, Now they howl
about it, and talk of inducing some other hard
working printer to go there, spend his time and
money, and starve Doubtless it hurts them to
be treated so; but We would remind the Repub-
licans of Sabetha that they, with one accord, raj
lied to the support of a man whom they knew to
be as obnoxious TO the Republicans of Doniphan
Comfy rs Tilden is to themselves; when rea-
sons were urged why this should not be
forced upon the District, they hooted and jeered,
and said they would elect him, all the same
and their influence and votes turned the scale in
favor of that obnoxious man. Now let them
gulp down their weekly rations of Tilden, and re-
alize how it feels to have nauseous doses forced
upon them.

How We HELPED HIM-1t is a favroite asser-
tion of the supporters of Judge Hubbard, that
the denunciations of the Chief have created SYM
pathy in his favor, and made him friends. We
have heard such stuff before. We have helped
him tremendously. Several months ago, Hub
bard was apparently sliding over the track as if
he were creased for the occasion. With his jury
testimonials, with his S. puffs in newspapers,
and the use of party machinery, he was making
such headway that it seemed folly for any man
to oppose him. At that juncture, the Chief SOL
itary and alone out of nine papers in the District,
sounded the note of opposition to him, and poured
in an incessant fire of solid facts, which gained
him sympathy and support rapidly that ma
jority of the delegates were elected against him,
and he was driven to fraud and bribery to secure
doubtful nomination from less than half legal
Conventiou-and lead to his reputation by a
large portion of the best material in the Republi-
ban party, which will result in his overwhelming
defeat at the polls Wonder if they like that
kind of assistancef

THE REASON WHY.-The question is very de-
family asked by the supporters of Judge Hub
bard: ''If he is such an incompetent man, ana
there is so much opposition to him among the
lawyers, why is it that we have heard nothing of
it heretofore, bat now there is all at once such
an ado made about iti" The answer is perfectly
easy. There has been great dissatisfaction with
Hubbard, ever since he has been on the bench.
But knowing that he had a prescribed time to
continue in Office, the bar and others made the
best of bad bargain, and did all in their power to
get along peaceably and smoothly, knowing that
they conld gain nothing by denouncing him, but
on the other hand, would draw down upon their
heads his enmity, and all the petty annoyances
and acts of insoence which it was in the power
of a weak mind to infiict. But when the time
came to decide who should occupy the place for
another four years, they felt that the occasion
had arrived TO remedy an evil from which they
had long suffered, aud spoke out in language that
could not be misunderstood proclsiming facts
and reasons that could not be controverted. They
have spoken just al the right time, and in the
right way.

We yesterday paid visit to the

Pico House. We had heard much of
this gentleman's work but were hard
ly prepared for the galaxy of beauty
on convass which was there displayed.
Mr.. Petrovtis as portrait painter is
entitled to rank with the best In the
land. His productions have certain
fineness of touch and fidelity in color
ing which is rarely seen. A portrait
of an East Indian physician which
Mr.. Petrovits painted some years ago
is really a marvel and would make
study for any art critic. The portrait
of Don Pic Pico as the representative
of another nationality holds a promi-
uent place in the collection. The

Mayor Beaudry is still in its incipien-
ey but already shows the magnitude
Of the undertaking. The figures are
