DKITIIOFCJL.U. K, M'KAR !
la the death of Col. Duncan K ,
McRae, which, as elsewhere appears,
occurred in Brooklyn Sunday night,
the State loses one of the most bril
liant men it has ever produced. As
is said in the brief telegram bringing
the sad news of hio decease, Col. Mc
Rae was distinguished as lawyer, 'advo
cate, politician and soldier. His genius
was superb and rendered its posses
sor charming as an orator, keen in
debate, singularly forcible and incis
ive in all efforts at the bar and in the
forum. His splendid natural gifts he
had cultivated assiduously bo that he
was one of the most polished of men
intellectually and with all the graces
of manner that can well, be at
tained. During the war he distinguished
himself for gallantry, his courage in
deed amounting almost to ' reckless
ness. He was a stranger absolutely
to anything in the nature of fear
while at the same time as gentle and
refined in his instincts as a woman.
He has reflected great credit on the
State by the extraordinary brilliancy
of his talent and we hurriedly pay
this tribute to his memory in the
hope that we may be able to do more,
ample justice to his merits in a sub
sequent issue.

We are determined not to be be

this is widened by the fact that we
have organized a military company
and will have electric lights and a
Chamber of Commerce in the near
future, while our tobacco market in
activity is always to the forefront.

i The draymen, both Mr. Burwell's
and Mr. tatterwhite's, went on a

was soon adjusted, the proprietors
allowing them a little advance in

probably, two.

WlLMlSGTOH, Deb. 11, 1888
The straocer that comes to Wil-
mincton must be struck with the fre
ouencv of entertainments given for
church DUTDOses. mere were iour
entertainments of this character con
ducted here during the last week, one
of them la-ting for three successive
niifhts. It was for Grace Methodist
church, and is said to have been ex
cellent in its art appointments. The
cross proceeds exceeded f 1,000.
When tne ueinoaisis iosi inmr
house of worship in the big fire, the
Jews, inasmuch as tnev do not use
their synapogrue on Sundays, lmmedi
ately offered it to the unfortunate
congTecation. It struck me as being
an act that would grace many wno
claim more Christian virtues than are
usually aecorded this traduced race.
The act was appreciated by tne
Methodists, for the Rabbi and his
wife have recently been the recipients
of presents from the grateful flock of
Mr. Creasy.
The proposition for an encampment
of the State Guard in or near this
city, during . the coming summer,
meets with very general approval
here. It would no doubt do much
towards building up in other parts of
the State an interest in Wilmington
which some claim to be totally lack
ing now. The Star suggests a good
idea, viz: to run excursions from all
sections of the S ate during the time
of encampment. Would it not be
well to have also a popular lecture.
giving somewhat of a history of the
State Guard and showing the practi
cal uses of such an organization! And
whv not request Col. A. M. Waddell
to portray the capture of Fort Fisher
as he did at Richmond last October?
Two such lectures would be an inspi
ration.
sThe railroad election to be held
here on the first of March is certainly
attracting very little attention as yet
to be of as much importance as it is

Mr. Riddleberger's fight against
secret sessions in general and against
the British extradition treaty in par
ticular was recognized in the shape of
a large and very handsome floral harp
which was placed on his desk this
morning by the Irish society called
the Clan na Gael.
Among the patents and memorials
presented and referred were the fol
lowing: To place on the free list
books printed in any of the modern
languages; to amend the patent laws;
for an international copyright law.
Among the bills reported from
committees and placed on-the calen
dar was one" appropriating $10,000
for the sub tropical exposition at
Jacksonville, F1p.
Among the bills introduced and
referred was one by Mr. Piatt to pay
for the passage of den. Lafayette and
his family from Franco to the United
States as the guests of the nation in
1824.
By Mr. Vest, to fix the number of
documents printed by Congress and
knbwn as "ihe usual number" at sev
en hundred and to specify the num
ber of certain other documents to be
printed.
Mr. Morgan offere.l a reaolution
which was laid over, instructing the
judiciary committee to inquire and
report whether Congress has the
power to enact laws to prohibit with
in the States the adulteration of food,
and whether if such power exists it
is a part of the power of taxation or
results from the power to regulate
commerce between the States.
The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of the Blair educational
bill, and was addressed by Mr. Plumb
in opposition to it.
-The bill was laid a&ide and the res
olution in regard to the inefficiency of
the postal service was taken up.
Mr. Reagan rgain addressed the
Senate in defence of the ad minis era
tion of the postoffioe department and
argued that Senators who had ar
raigned that administration had been
misled by false clamor, or that iD
consequence of the economy and
conspicuously good management of
the department it has been thought
necessary for political purposes to
offset its effect by getting up charges
of inefficiency. In the course of his
argument he undertook to repel the
assertion that very numerous re
movals from office in the department
r - -
and he gave the names of a number
of postmasters who had left office by
resignation
Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Reagan whether
he really claimed or believed the res
ignations were voluntary were not
commanded by the President.
Mr. Reagan replied tba his only
source of information on the subject
was the report of he Postmaster
General, in which he speaks of these
as "voluntary resignations." There
had been very few removals for polit
ical reasons and these few were for
active offensive partisanship.
Mr. Hoar remarked that the state
ment showed a very extraordinary
instance of voluntary resignations of
office.
Mr. Reagan : "No doubt the Post
master-General has done a great
many things which seem very extra
ordinary to the Senator from Massa
chusetts.
Mr Hoar: "A great many."
Senators Cbace and Aldrich en
deavored without success to get Mr.
Reagan to state why the postmaster
of Providence, R. I ,had been removed
from office iu the face of the fact that
the management of that postoffice
had been highly approved by the
Postmaster General.
The resolution went over and the
Senate adjourned.
bouse.
Mr Brower, of North Carolina, in
troduced a resolution instructing the
committee on ways and means to re
port what progress it has made in the
consideration of the bills to repeal
the internal revenue taxes and to
state at what time such bills are
likely to be reported to the House.
In case the committee is unable to
agree upon these bills it is instructed
to report that tact to tne Mouse ana
the bills shall be placed on the calen
dar. ?
Bdls were introduced by Mr. Town-
shend permitting farmers and pro
ducers of tobacco to sell leaf tobacco
in any quantity to unlicensed dealers,
or to any person wunout restriction,
and repealing all laws inconsistent
therewith.
A number of publio bills were in
troduced, among them one for Pensa
cola, Fia.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration of bills relating to the
District of Columbia.
The first bill called up was one
punishing the advertising of lottery
tickets in the District of Columbia.
It was opposed by Mr. Rogers, of
Arkansas, upon constitutional
grounds. "The bill would," he said,
"prevent any paper, no matter where
published, from coming into the Dis
trict, and would infringe the liberty
of the press.
Mri Hemphill, of South Carolina,
did nbt agree 'hat, the provisions of
the bill applied to any paper pub
lished outside of the District, but ad
mitted that it was a question upon
which the best lawyers might diner.
Mr. Compton declared that he was
not an advocate of lotteries,buthe did
not believe that souls could be sent
to heave n by compulsory legislation.
Society could only be regenerated by
the principles inculcated by Christian
methods.
Mr; Browne, of Iudiaua, said that,
according to his interpretation of the
bill, its provisions applied as much
io papers published m Maryland o
New York, circuiting iu the District
of Columbia, as to paptrs published
in the District, cf C.Uinjli. but with
that interpret at icu -n.l.ted tbe
bill fully Bil l without n-s- i vai ion
Mr. Crain.cf Tons' , tock i-s.iowith
the argument tba'. erory icteaoe
chance was m'Cfsuurily a crima. He
did not believe that alottery which was
authorized by the organic law of a
State of the Union belonged to the
category of crime.
Mr. Cummingp, of Now York, look
ing at the bill, not ai a lawyer but aa
a man who pretended to have a
modicum of common senso, thought
that there was too. much law in it. In
tryiDg to correct ad admitted evil the
House was opening the doors to
greater evils. The bill appeared
to contain some of tbe ashes
of the old alien and sedition
laws. Those laws not only in
terfered with the liberty of the
press, but also interfered, as the pend
ing bill did, with the liberty of the
person ;. nor was this the first time
that these ashes had been stirred up
by Congress. They had been stirred
under the administration of Grant
when the Unitd States Senate bad
passed the bill to abridge the free
dom of the prebB. Under the pro
visions of that bill the editor of the
most obscure newspaper in the most
obscure corner of the most obscure
State could be dragged to the Dis
trict of Columbia and bo subjec ed to
tine and imprisonment by pettv local
tribunals. There was the same feed
in this bill. It not only trampled on
the freedom of the press and of the
person, but it trampled on the rights
of the States. Thfl bill was clear
in its provisjons. It Rpplied un
doubtedly to the papers published
outside but circulating iu. the dis
trict of Columbia. If CoDgr;ss had
the right to prescribe what chouid be
printed in the advertisement column
of a newspaper, it had the right to
exercise ceusorbhip over the edito
rial and news columns. Congress was
then to exercise editorial supervision
over the entire press Who was to
be the editor T The distinguished gen
tleman at the other end of the ave
nue ? Who was to be the city editor f
Was it to be the Speaker of the
House ? Who were to be the reporters ?
The chairmen of the commi'teeB?
Where was the editorial supervision
to end r The House was playing with
fire. It had better blow out the
ma ch and avoid a conflagration.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, hought the
Dill applied only to papers published
in the District of Columbia, and on
this ground he opposed it as creating
an unjust discrimination.
Mr. Dougherty, of Florida, oppos
ed the measure lor similar reasons.
If Congress could establish a censor
ship of the press which would pre
vent reporters lying nbout public
men and private individuals he for
one would certainly vote to do so, be
cause he had never seen anything so
offensive to the sense of public u.oral-
ifjjlkW.MtJldiMtisejpeijjua. he
newspaper reporters published as
facts. If Congress could pass a bill
which would require editors and re
porters to confine themselves to the
statement of ficts instead of to pub
lishing their individual opinions as
fact it would redound to the good
and welfare of all the people.
Mr. Latham, of North Carolina,
while expressing his bitter hostility
to lotteries, denied the power of Con
gress to enact legislation to diffuse
morality among the human iace.
On motion of Mr. Crain the bill was
referred to the committee on the
judiciary yeas 117, nays 115.

A Disastrous Flr.
St. Paul, Feb. 13 Another disas
trous fire visited the wholesale dis
trict this morning. .About G o'clock
the mercurial alarm iu tbe Ryan block
called the fire department to the cor
ner of East Third street and Wa

Fpote, Schulz & Co., were filled with
smoke. The Ryan building is imme
diately opposite the building which
was burned several weeks ago, entail

is fully insured Mr. Schulz, of Foote,
Schulz & Co., said this morning that
his firm carried a stock of $250,000 or
$300,000. ' The insurance on their
tock would be about $270,000 or per
haps $290,000. The probabili y at
and also the Btock would be a total

. Sherman on Blaine's Utterance.
Chicago, Feb 13 A Columbus, O-
special save: "John Sherman, who is
in the city, on hearing hat Blaine
would not allow his name to be used
before the Chicago convention, said
that he had been expecting some such
utterance from Blaine for some time.
He bad understood it would be forth
coming. Blaine was one of the fore
most Americans,whom every Republi
can would have delighted to honor
and it was a source of regret that he had
concluded not to make the race again
Sherman did not care to talk much
about the Blaine letter and thought
it would cause a number of other can
didates to come to the front. He
proposed to make the race for the
Ohio delegation and would contest
honorably for the nomination. Blaine
waS a liepuDiican wno couiu sweep
the country if nominated, but he had
understood all along that he would
not apftin seek the nomination. It
was on this hypothesis that he (Sher

Washington, Feb. 13 The Court
of Clim8 today rendered a decision
sustaining the legality of Secretary
Chandlers action in discharging witn
one year's pay, from June 30, 1885,
about forty cadet midshipmen who
had served a six years course at tne
Naval Academy and at sea for whom
no vacancies existed in the service at
the time of their graduation. The
question arose on a suit of Eugene
M. Harmon for salary as Cadet Mid

up to the time of filing his claim,
November 1, 1887. The court held
that the Secretary acted with full
authority of law in the matter and
dismissed the case.

The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
yesterdty published tbe following :
Mr. B. r. Jones, chairman of the
national Republican committee, has
received a letter from Mr. Blaine de
clining to allow his name to be pre
sented to the National Republican
Convention as a candidate for the
Presidential nomination. Mr. Jones,
when asked whether Mr. Blaine's de
clination would prevent his friends
from nominating him anyhow, said :
"As I am chairman of the national
committee I do not think it would be
proper for me to have anything to
say on that subject."
"Do you think Mr. Blaine would
accept the nomination if tendered to
him t"
'I have no authority to speak for
Mr. Blaine and have no conjectures
to offer on. the subject. The letter
speaks for itself and I must decline
to be interviewed on this question."
The following is Mr. Blaine's letter
in full :
Florence, Italy, Jan. 25, 1888,
B. F. Jones, Esq , Chan man of the
Republican National Committee'
Sir: I wish through you to state to
the members of the Republican party
that my name will not be presented
to the national convention called to
assemble in Chicago in June next for
the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice-President of the
United States. I am constrained to
this decision by considerations en
tirely personal to myself, of which
you were advised more than a year
ago. But 1 cannot make the an
nouncement without giving expres
sion to my deep sense of gratitude to
the many thousands of my country
men who have sustained me so long
and so cordially that their feeling has
seemed to go beyond the ordinary
political adherence of fellow parti
sans and to partake somewhat of the
nature of personal attachment. For
this most generous loyalty of friend
ship I can make no adequate return
but I shall carrv the memory of it
while life lasts. Nor can I refrain
from congratulating the Republican
party upon' the cheering prospects
which distinguishes the opening of
the national contest of 1888 as com
pared with that of 1884. In 1882 the
Republican party throughout the
Union met with a disastrous defeat
Ten bUtes that had supported Gar
field and Arthur in the election of
1880 were carried by the Democrats
either by majorities or pluralities
The Republican loss in the Northern
election, compared with the preceding
national election, exceeded half a mil
lion votes, and the electoral votes of
the Union, divided on the basis of
the result of 1882, gave to the Dem
ociats over three hundred else tors
out of a total of 40L There was
partial reaction in favor of the Re
publicans in the; elections of 1883;'
but the Democrats still held posses
sion of seven Northern States, and on
the basis of the year's contest could
show more than 100 majority in the
electoral colleges of the whole coun
try. But against the discourage DjeDt
naturally following the adverse elec
tions of these two years the spirit of
the Republican party in the national
contest of 1884 rose high, and the
Republican masses entered into the
campaign with such energy that the
final result depended on the vote of a
single State, and that State was car
ried by the Democratic party by a
plurality bo small that it represented
less than one eleventh of one percent
of the entire vote. The change of a
single vote in every 2 000 of the total
poll would have given the State to
the Republicans, ; though only two
years before the Democratic plurality
exceeded 192,000. :
"Tbe elections of 188G and 1887
have demonstrated growing streegth
in ttrb Republican ranks. Seldom in
our politicial history has a party e
feated in a national election rallied
immediately with such vigor as have
the republicans since 1884. No com
parison is possible; bet ween the spirit
of 'he party in 1882-3 aL.d its spirit
in 1886-7, The two periods present
simply a contrast the one of gener
al depression, the o her of enthusias
tic revival. Should the party gain in
the results of 1888 over these of
losb- in any tmng itke tne propor
tion of the gain of 1884 over 1882-3
it would secure one of the most re
markable victories bf its entire exist
ence. But victory does not depend
on so large a ratio: of increase; the
party has only to maintain relatively
its prestige of 1876 7 to
give to its national candidate
every Northern State but one, with
far better prospect of carrying that
one than it has had for the past six
years. Another feature of the politi
cal situation should inspire Republi
cans with irresistible strength. The
present national administration was
elected with, if not upon the re
peated assertions of its leading sup
porters in every protection State,
that no issue on the tariff was in
volved. However earnestly Republi
cans urged that question as the one
of controlling importance in the cam
paign, they were met by the Demo
cratic leaders and journals with per
sistent evasion, concealment and
denial.
"I hat resource the President has
fortunately removed. The issue which
the Republicans maintained and the
Democrats avoided in 1884 has been
prominently and specifically brought
forward by the Democratic President
and cannot be hidden out of sight in
1888. The country is nowin the en
joyment of an industrial system which
in a quarter of a century has assured
a larger national growth, a more rapid
tion of wealth than were ever peiore
known to history. : The American
people will now be: openly and for
mally asked to decide whether this
system shall be recklessly abandoned
and a new trial be made of an old ex
periment, which has uniformly led to
uational embarrassment, and wide
spread individual distress. On the
result of such an issue, fairly pre
sented to the popular judgment, there
is no room to doubt;
One thing only is necessary to as
sure success complete harmony and
cordial co-operation on the part of all
Republicans on the part of both
those who aspire to lead and of those
who are eager to follow. Ihe duty
is not one merelv of honorable devo
tion to the party whose record and
whose aims are alike great, Dut it is
one demanded by the instinct of self-
interest, and by the still higher
promptings of patriotism. A closer
observa ion of the conditions of life
among the older! nations gives
one a more intense aesire
that the American people
shall make no mistake in choosing
the policy which inspires labor with
hope and crowns it with digrity,
which gives Batety to capital ana pro
tects its increase, wnicn secures po
litical power to every citizen, comfort
and culture to every" nome. io ima
end, not less earnestly and more di
rectly as a private citizen than as a
public candidate, 1 Shall devote my
self, with the confident belief tha' the
administration of government will be
restored to the party which has de
monstrated the purpose and the
power to wield it for the unity and
the honor of tne repuDiic, ior tne
prosperity and progress of the peo
ple. I am, very sinceiely, yours,

"Our State papers that I see are
