The dailies have been teeming with
conjectures of the presidential nomi
nating campaign that is now about to
be closed at Chicago, but doubtless
before this issue of the Journal
reaches all our readers, the republican

so it is quite unnecessary for us to.
journalize the conjectures.

Nominating conventions do not al
ways express the wish of the electors
supposed to be represented by dele
gates, and therefore there is no calcu
lating, even by approximation, what
a eiven convention will do. Those
who have a notion that one of these
national bodies differs, in its essential
features, from any other, will after a
while perhaps have their minds dis
abused. The gathering now in deliberation
at Chicago seems to have plainly be
fore them a few settled propositions
as a sort of basis to work upon, any
of which, unheeded by them, may
make them chargable with blun
dering. First. Republicanism means lib
erty guarded bylaw; it means pro
gress; it means an honest, hearty
attempt to solve living, vital prob
lems ; it means a broadened field for
our commerce ; it means the "Ameri
can idea" of fair play and an oppor
tunity for all, at home and abroad ; it
meanB continuing progress towards
the absolute rule "of the people, by
the people, for the people."
The convention will blunder if they
imagine this is a time for temporiz
ing, a time- for lowering the flag of
progress, a time for dodging the issues
plainly in view. On the contrary,
the party of ideas must again plant
its standard on the upper planes of
political conscience and morality, and
lead onward and upward the hosts
anxious and eager to follow.
. Second. The candidates should
represent the progressive spirit of the
timeB, be men well known to the
country, and having its confidence.
The next president should be a man
of great ability as a statesman. With
such a man, and anything like favor
able conditions so far aa national
legislation is concerned, the next four
years will show a marked and won
derful improvement in national af
fairs, because we are far enough away
from the late civil strife to become,
ou good provocation, a really united
people, harmoniously working to
gether for the general interest.
Third. It will be a fatal blunder
to select a comparatively unknown
man. This risk cannot be taken with
anything like safety. If the contest
proves unsuccessful for the men
chiefly named, the representative re
publicans at Chicago will do well to
unite at once upon General Sherman
and Robert Lincoln, model American
citizens, men of brain and nerve, men
of stamina, and men of courage who
have 6hown that they actually believe
in good government.
Recently the city of London was
threatened with a small-pox scare.
The malady is alarmingly prevalent
in several metropolitan districts, and
is spreading from the city to ad
joining provinces, several of which
are already badly infected. Some
idea of the present prevalence of the
plague may be formed from the mag
nitude of the efforts which have
already been forced upon the author
ities to control the disease. London
alone, since the start of tho plague
last November, has expended $250,
000 for additional accommodations
for tho constantly increasing number
of the afflicted. It is now proposed
to erect new, metropolitan, small-pox
hospitals at a cost of $750,000.
Bro. Willard of the Loup City
Times closes a well written editorial
in these words :
'We are not for Blaine for any me
teor like brilliancy his enemies may
have discovered; we are for Blaine
because of his manhood, his states
manship, his fitness, his supreme faith
in the all conquering power of prin
ciple, his love of learning, and patient
industry, which has revealed to the
world, the ponderous elements of his
mind, and lastly, to use his own words
in his eulogy on Garfield, "because all
the world in concert cannot keep him
in the back-ground," for while in the
front he has played bis part with a
prompt intrepidity, and commanding
ease, that are the outward symptoms
of the immense reserve of energy in
his power to draw on."
The attendance on the national
greenback convention at Indianapo
lis, Ind., is unexpectedly quite large,
no less than seven hundred delegates
already estimated that will be in at
tendance. All indications point to
the nomination of Bntler. Although
there is some opposition to Butler,
there is no probability that it will
develp enough strength to defeat
him. An attempt has been made to
make a candidate of Jesse Harper, of
Illinois. It is said the Maryland del
egation will vote for him, but the
movement seems to have little
strength elsewhere. General West,
of Mississippi, appears to be the
unanimous choice for vice-president.
It Was Fiaally Decided.
There was a warm discussion in a
parish meeting of the Seventy-first
church the other evening. It was
shown that something must be done
at once in the way of economy, and
various suggestions were made
toward the curtailment of expenses.
One brother thought the paid choir
should be given up, another suggested
that the Sunday-school pic-nic, the
yonng people's dance, and the older
people's monthly raffle could be dis
pensed with; but it was finally
decided to reduce the minister's
salary. It would never do to interfere
with the necessities of worship.
Chicago Tribune.
m
Senator Ingalls has reported to
the senate from the judiciary com
mittee, the following substitute for
the joint resolution introduced by
senator Jackson, proposing an amend
ment to the constitution : "Executive
power shall be vested in the Presi
dent of the United States of America.
The President and Vice-President
hereafter elected shall hold their
offices for a term of six years, but.
the President shall not be re-eligible,
or shall the Vice-President be
eligible to the office of President if he
shall have exercised the same in case
f vacaacy therein. "
The
Ti
Speech of Senator
WJCK.
"The house cannot afford, neither
can we on this side afford to close our
doors with no legislation on the
subject. Wo talk about the national
debt. We have been legislating for
weeks and months about our national
debt, and yet look for a moment on
the railroad property of this country,
which to-day is appraised at their own
figures at nearly $7,000,000,000. Ac
cording to Poore's manual the value
is double the actual cost, say $3,000,
000,000. The figures are almost
staggering. In what manner has
this immense debt because it is a
debt upon the people been piled up ?
In the early days they had credit
mobiliers, and little and distinguished
statesmen in this land and men in
telligent, prominent in the social and
financial world and in the politics of
the country, were in them. I am
speaking about the system, not about
individuals ; and a great authority on
this matter explains how these se
curities are sold and how they are
purchased.
By purchase, on the same terms as
they were sold on the Boaton market
to all applicants
Of course it is all right aa it was
done in Boston
sold to Josiah Bard well, to Elisha
Atkins, and to other respectable mer
chantB.securitiee, which were divided,
as is usual in such enterprises, into
three kinds, first mortgage bonds,
second mortgage bonds, and stock.
The price, I think, was three for one ;
that is, the purchaser got first
mortgage bonds for his money, and
an equal amount of second mortgage
bonds or land grant bonds and of
stock thrown in as the basis of
possible profit.
This is the history of the system..
It applies not only to the Northern
Pacific but to other roads. That is
the way it is done on the Boston
market, and that of course is the
highest type of nobility and honesty
in all financial transactions. Tbreo
for one ! Look at it for a moment
three for ono. Here are $6,000,000,
000 of securities that according to the
statement of this man who is above
reproach you know who he is that
actually cost their holders $2,000,000,
000. Beyond that are $4,000,000,000
which are held as mortgages on the
state of Michigan, on the state of
Oregon, and on the statea of Kansas
and Nebraska, and other states $4,
000,000,000 for which these gentlemen
have not paid a farthing. Wo have
in this way an incumbrance of more
than the national debt. The national
debt we can pay ; this debt can never
be paid. They hold it forever. They
aay, "We must have interest on our
mortgage, we must have dividends on
onr stock" when they hold those
stocks and those bonds on the basis
of three to ono. For every dollar in
actual money supplied they have $3
on which they are drawing interest.
Of the more than $6,000,000,000 only
$2,000,000,000 have been actually ex
pended and the $4,000,000,000 stand
to-day as a mortgage upon the
prosperity, upon the wealth, upon the
earnings of the people."
Frost was general in Wisconsin on
the night of the 28th ult. Reports
from Rock county, 6tate that tobacco
ia badly damaged. Small fruits and
vegetables are ruined. The grape
crop in East Saginaw, Mich., was
severely injured, fully 25 per cent.
Reports from the northern portions
of Ohio indicate very serious injury
to wheat, barley, corn and fruits,
from the frost on the night of the
28th. The same frost extended to
Freeport, III., greatly damaging
beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes and
cabbage plants. Grapes and straw
berries were almoBt totally ruined.
Corn was severely nipped, but not
killed.
The grand lodge of Good Templars
convened at Washington City in its
thirtieth annual session. It is stated
that four hundred delegates are in
attendance, representing Canada, In
dia, Prince Edwards' Island and every
state in the Union. Presiding officer
Katzenstein read his annual report,
which asserts that unless one or both
the great political parties declare un
equivocally for temperance, that the
temperance people will support the
prohibition candidate to be nominated
at Pittsburg, July 23d.
Cameron, it is said, refuses to in
fluence tho delegation to Chicago,
and says he will support the nominee
of the convention to the utmost of hiB
power, no matter which republican
candidate may be nominated. That
is certainly the right kind of spirit to
manifest, especially bo coming from
a man who wields a large political
influence in his own state. His
example is worthy of imitation by
other politicians occupying similar
positions toward the people.
The majority report of the senate
election committee on the Danville
riot declared that it was premeditated
and preconcerted for the purpose of
raising a race issue and intimidating
the negroes; 'that the democrats pre

who prepared the report, introduced
some telegrams which he claimed
sustain the conclusion that the riot
was the deliberate wori of the
democratic party.
The tariff question threatens to di

revenue with incidental protection,
and tariff for revenue and protection.

A man by the name of Kobeck, at

It turns out upou further investi

and alimony, that when she first went
to live with him Sharon offered her
$250 a month to live with him. She
replied that it was not enough, when
he increased tho offer to $500, which
was silently accepted. From that
Sharon states that he continued to
pay Miss Hill that amount monthly.
Thirty delegates from the Univer
sal Peace Union called upon the
President the other day to testify to
their approbation of the President's
administration and particularly his
course in reference to the Congo
river and Panama canal. The Presi
dent expressed sympathy with their
cause and added that it was nearly a
settled fact that this country is to re

A distinguished party left Wash

In the Columbus correspondence to
the Norfolk Journal of May 30th, ap
pears the following :
"The principal of the North Side
Grammar School chastised a young
lady pupil with a leather strap last
Thursday. This young pedagogue
seems to have greatly missed his vo
cation, or, he accidentally inhabits a
part of this mundane sphere entirely
unsuited to one of his peculiarly ac
tive temperament. The dexterity
with which he handled the strap, on
the above occasion, suggests the ar
tistic skill displayed, obtained only
through long continued training, and
reflects credit on his alma mater. We
trust our Board of Education will
kindly relieve him from bis present
irksome position, and permit him to
find a more congenial one say pub
lic castigator for the State of Dela
ware. Perhaps with a trifle more
experience he might become "Chief
Inspirator of the Knout" and "Keep
er of the 'Privy Cat-o'-nine-tails'"
under his Imperial Majesty's domain
in Siberia land."
In a personal interview with Prof.
Garlow, on Saturday last, he admits
the chastisement as abovo charged,
and in justification thereof, made the
following counter charges, viz :
1st. That he could not keep order
in school without resorting to cor
poral punishment.
2d. That another teacher whipped
six pupils to his one, and the writer
hereof made no fuss about it.
3d. That still another was cross,
angular and harsh to her pupils, and
the writer hereof remained silent.
4th. That it was not my child he
chastised, hence none of my business.
5th. That I do not reside in that
district, and therefore he is not
subject to my criticism.
6th. That I do not send my chil
dren to that school.
7th. That in the use of the words
"Alma Mater" I insulted his mother.
8th. That the communication,
aside from the simple statement of
facts, has injured bim mentally, and
greatly impaired his usefulness.
9th. That a card ia due from me,
with full publicity in Columbus
Journal and Norfolk Journal.
We give Prof. Garlow, full benefit
of hia defense without comment, and
leave the verdict to the people. And
furthermore to do the agreeable, to
save blood and heal all wounds, we
heroby make the public announce
ment that Prof. Garlow is under no
obligations whatever, either written
or implied to obey the suggestions in
the last half of the above communica
tion, and if at any time he may have
felt so impelled, he is hereby publicly
assured that he is freely and fully
absolved from the same. And upou
mature deliberation, with an earnest,
penitent spirit, and to remedy as far
as lies in our power a grave indignity,
we hereby publicly beg pardon of
the State of Delaware, and each and
every citizen thereof without regard
to age, sex, creed or color.
