1t, and concludes the Dover editor didn't read
the article at all. Yet the DeIdtrurean says
that the Gazette says it offered to print the
Journals 90 per cent cheaper than it did, while
the Gazette says it never said any such thing,
or even intimated such in its article. We do
not know which is right but if the Gazette is
it shows the truth of the old adage, that "a
guilty conscience needs no accuser." It's like
the little boy that was fogged for shaking his
head, because his mother said he meant damn.
We don't propose to enter this controversy
nor decide upon its merits because it will dc
no good. Even if the charges were maintained
against the DeldUarean, it would not effect ii
any. 1t has the inside track and can afford tC
do as it likes. 1t is natural to suppose thai
parties who control the State affairs to so large
an extent should look to their personal inter
ests (of which the DelaWarean is one) as mucl
as possible as they go along. This may b'
some disadvantage to our Democratic cotem

never leave the marquee only when compelled ;
they never visit the tents as ministers, but as

SHIPPING FRUIT.-As the crop of fruit this
season in Delaware is so large, and as the pro-
fits to the grower will depend entirely upon
the careful picking, culling, asserting and pack
ing for market, we copy the following article
from the American Agriculturalist, which may
be of interest to the shippers of fruit to the
New York and Philadelphia markets:
$50 much has been said about the market
ing of fruits that one would not think it neces-
sary to add more. Yet when we go through
the markets and see the worthless stuff, which
might have brought good returns if it had been
well picked, we must, at the risk Of repetition,
say more about
Tacking.--We go among the commission
men and find invoices of peaches, pears and
apples, which bring small returns, for the
want of proper
Asserting. Had half the fruit-the best Of
it-been sent it would have brought twice the
price. ln New York, and we presume it is the
same in other markets, it is difficult to sell q
poor article, except to the street venders, al
the lowest price. A large portion of the fui
sent had better be ted TO the pigs at hOn1e fol-
its destination here is the rubbish heap, an(
the shipper has to av the expenses.
Picking and Packing are as important al
raising good fruit. The time to pick can onl!
be learned by experience. The fruit shoulC
be just in that condition in which it will reacl
the consumer in good order. Pick by hand, ant
pack in crates, baskets or barrels so firmly tha
the fruit can sustain no injury from the motion
during transportation.
