It is too bad, as all Republicans know
that the grand old part-y went to the
wall with such; a dull and disastrous
thud in the late campaign, and particu-
larlybad that the Republicans of Del-
aware "failed so completely in their
rainbow expectations of wrenching the
Blue Hen state from the Democratic
column;but there is nothing so bad
that it might not ‘ have been worse,
and nothing so calamitous but that it
' cal resignation than with hopeless des-
pair. But here comes the Dover State
Sentinel with the most pessimistic out-
cry that has been heard since the elec-
tion:
“What shall the harvest be? Free
trade and its consequent evils? Free
silver and its consequent ev11s? Wild-
cat money'and its consequence evrls?
.The suppression of the ballot in the
South with. its consequent evrls? _Is

The solid South, who throttled the
country in 1861, dominates _the Demo-
cratic party, which comes into posses-
sion of our government in March, 1893,
the year of the Great Columbian
World’s Fair. Will the period mark
another epoch in the history of our
country? We shall be charged wrth
reviving sectional feeling. So be it;
we do not shrink from the charge; we
stand at the bar of public opinion and
plead guilty, and ask for no sympa-
thy at the hands of the court. We
. count its glory to suffer punishment
for the grandest principles thatflever
found their enunciation in a pontical
platform.” ‘
It’s all right for our esteemed con-
temporary to count it a glory for get-
ting licked; but what’s. the use in
taking on so about the consequences ?
Wait and see. Don’t despair of the
perpetuity of American institutions.
says the Washington Post. The country
has survived a great civil war, it has
survived a reconstruction period that
was almost as bad ;it survived the Pres-
idental muddle of 1876; it survived one
administration of Mr. Cleveland and
found itself no worse off for it; it has
survived the blunders of the Minne-
apolis convention; it has kept on grow-
ing richer, more powerful, more popu-
lous, more prosperous. Why conjure
before our afi'righted vision so many
. evil portents now that Mr. Cleveland,
- has been elected again by a pOpular
voto unprecedented in the history of
the Government ?
Let the Sentinel nail its flag to the
masthead and stand by its colors, but
don’t jump overboard .11 you find the

The Late Mr. Reid.
The foundation for the Republican
defeat in the Presidential election was
laid at Minneapolis in June, says the
Fargo Argus. The delegates from the
solid South who knew that they could
..ot deliver a single electoral vote, and
the Federal office holders who had ob-
ligations to pay, massed their forces
and voted down the enthusiasm of the
party embodied in the Blaine follow.
ing. Not content with placing in nomi-
. nation for the Presidency a man who,
although possessed of much ability and
many admirable qualities, was person-
ally unpopular, and who had a remark-
able faculty for making powerful ene-
mics, they had to load the ticket down
with Whitelaw Reid for Vice President.
Harrison lacks elements of popularity,
but Reid is probably the most unpopu-
lar man, so far as he is known, in
America to-dav. We doubt if he has a
single friend outs1de of a few toadies
and cronies. The fellow is an arrant
and incurable snob. He is self-seeking,
selfish, and cold. Harrison has been
called an' iceberg, but he is a chunk of
red hot lava from Vesuvius compared
to Reid. During the war Gen. Sher-
man came very near hanging Whitelaw
Reid as a spy, because in the cold-
blooded pursuit of news for his paper
he did not hesitate to publish informa-
tion hurtful 'to the Union cause and
valuable to the enemy. The same
selfish, self-seeking marked his course
as an editor when he got control of the
New York Tribune. He turned that
paper over to the enemy in 1872, and
abused the greatest and best Republi-
cans in the land as if they had been
pickpockets. And during the past eight
pr ten years he has been fighting the
typographical union, the most power-
ful and intelligent body of laborers in
the world. It was well known that
Reid had the reputation of being the
implacable foe of organized labor, and
' yet he was nominated to run for the
second highest office in the land on a
platform which assumed to-be especial.
ly regardful of the rights and well-be-
‘ ing’ of laboring men. Such fatuity as
was displayed by the_Republican na-
tional convention in this matter passes
belief. No wonder the complaint was
frequently made that the campaign was
cold and uueuthusnastic. The person-
alit .of the candidates (and especially
of. eid) was EWIIgh to dampen the
- rdent en iusiasm. -
wilt: Argus does not believe that the
country has gone back on Republican
' principles or the doctrine of protection.
It has rebuked oflicialism and political
trading by which the best interests of
the party were sacrificed to lirunuiw,

Chicken Stealing. “
It was a case of Chicken stealing, and
the prints of bare feet were to". ad in the
sand around the hen house. The lawyer
for the prosecution was one who, if he
had been Napoleon Bonaparte, never
would have crossed the Alps; he would
simply have pulled them up by the roots
and thrown them over the fence. The
prisoner was an unknown tramp, and
lame at that. . 1
“ You say you don’t know anything
about this theft?” queried the lawyer,
fiercely. _
“ That’s what I swore to, sir,” replied
the tramp meekly.
“ You were in the back yard of Slam-
tipp’s house about supper time?”
“ Yes, sir.”
"‘ You know the location of the lien
house?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“You were seen on the road in front
of the house some time after dark?”
“ I was there, sir.” . 1,
‘.‘ You were in the yard after dark?”
“ Yes, sir, and after supper also, sir,"

his innocent little joke in such a place.

off?”
“ Yes, sir, there was a pebble in it
that was too big to get out of the hole it
got in at.”
“ Now, sir, I propose to prove that you
made those tracks with your bare feet
while you were stealing the chickens of
the plantiif.”
“ You can’t do it, sir,” said the pris-
oner mildly but firmly.
“And why not, pray?” asked the
prosecutor with fine sarcasm-
“ Because, sir, I’ve got one wooden
leg, sir,” and he gave a kick that sent it
clean across the court room and almost
knocked it constable senseless—Detroit

\Vherc Columbus Landed.
The island has no harbor. Vessels
must anchor at a respectful distance
from the coral reefs. Landing is made
by rowboats on the beach, and when the
sea runs high, as it did in our case, the
land is a serious matter. We were all
prepared to swim, and natives on shore
were ready to help us if the boat upset.
I don’t care to repeat this experience,
though I’m glad to have had it. -
The island is about twelve miles long,
and six miles wide at its broadest point.
The formation is coral and the foliage
tropical.
All kinds of tropical fruits grow wild.
The population consists of 300 or 400
Africans captured from slave ships. The
occupation of these people is eating yams,
oranges, bananas, fish, etc—and resting.
There is a land of “ dolce non far niento ”
even in North America. These Africans
are not entirely ignorant, and my move-
ments were watched with considerable
interest. Columbus has his traditions
on the island, and I had appreciative
audiences at times when sketching.
On one occasion a typical African kept
me company all day long. His presence was
unsolicited, and he did nothing, as usual.
When I stopped this son of Ham said:
“ Don’t you think you ought to pay me
for watching you?” “ Certainly,” I re-
plied. The delicious coolness of the sug-
gestion was worth paying f0r.
The log of Columbus, which Capt.
Clapp and I went over with great care.
shows conclusively that Watling’s Island
was the first landing place of Colum-
bus. ’ ’——Philadelphia Press.
The Onyx Quarrlea of Arizona.
There are now on exhibition at the In-
stitute of Building Arts about thirty
specimens of onyx from the recently dis-
covered deposits in Arizona. Until the
discovery of the Arizona quarries the
only source of supply of this stone was
in the La Pedro-ra mines in the State of
Puebla, in old Mexico. Specimens frdm
the Arizona deposit show that the stone
can be obtained in this country in a size
suitable for architectural purposes and
of the finest quality. While the Mexi-
can deposit was only three acres in extent
originally, and is now practically ex-
hausted, the Arizona. quarries cover about
300 acres. The specimens on exhibition
show infinite variety in color and take
the highest polish. The exhibit consists
of thirtyodd slabs about one inch thick
and varying from four to twelve square
feet in area. The Arizona deposits are
located about twenty~seven miles south
west of Prescott, and a branch railroad
has already been projected—Chicago

Christian Swartz appeared before
the Board as a remonstrant against the
new tramway about to be laid. stating
that he, as well as numerous other tax-
payers along Washington street. with
whom he had conferred, felt that a
track. along said thoroughfare would
be injurious to the carrying on of bus-
iness along that street, insomuch as.
should a turnout be placed in front of
be impossible for ateam to get near
said places of business while a car
should be occupying Said turnout.

A petition was received for an ex-
tension of the water on Woodward av-
enue. Referred to committee on
water.
Messrs. Hatch, Comstock and Smith
appeared as a committee from the
Old Well H. & L. Company, asking
that the present Council Chamber be
given the company for a pool and bil-
liard room, and that the Council Cham-
ber be located in the present quarters
of the pool and billiard tables. A com-
mittee composed of Councilmen Mc-
Mahon, Fox, Volk and Trowbridge,
was appointed to investigate the mat-
ter and report at the next meeting of
the board.
Adjourned until Monday evening,

Good Logic.
There’s nothing the matter with the
logic works of the Dakota Graphic Ed-
itor, who wrote the following: “The
man who stops a paper because there is
something in it he does not like should
be consistent—get up and leave a hotel
table if he happens to discover on the
bill of fare something that does not suit
his taste. He would be 'ust as consis-
tent. in one act as the ot er. A good
, newspaper is a bill of mental food for
as many tastes as possible, and the.
reader ought to know that the article
that does not suit him is perhaps just to
.the taste of every other reader of the
paper. The man who insists on having
a paper exactly to his indiwdual taste
should buy the material, edit and print
one for himself and expect no one else
to read it.

his party’s needs, a man who has held
the Republican standard aloft through
a series of complications that thus far
have never as yet beset the party, a

Mrs. Wee d’s Reception.
All day long the beauty of Norwalk.
and perhaps the chivalry also, gazed
in dismay at the steady down-pour of
rain, the one thinking of her crimps
and the other of his patent leathers.
But with evening the rain ceased and
the stars shone out brilliantly.
The constant roll of carriages was
heard from early in the evening until
after midnight as society came and
went, to and from Mrs. Weed’s re-'
ception. .
The guests began to' arrive . after
eight o’clock and were received by
Mrs. EXP. Weed and-[Mn 1' and Mrs.
Samuel L. Weed, whoj-stood'in the
bay window of the reception room.
Mrs. E. P. Weed was handsomely cos-
tumed in grey silk while Mrs. Samuel
Weed was charmingly robed in white
bengalinc with trimmings of lace and
ribbon._ This dainty gown was Won-
derfully becoming to the fair bride of
