REPUBLICANIsM IN BRoADKILN-Ir Is GROW
ING, NOT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WITH
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
Correspondence of the Commercial.
MILTON, DEL, Oct. 12.-I see letters from
Milton floating around in some of the Della
ware papers, but none of them seem to have
folded their wings within your sanctum.
We would have your readers know that
Milton is of some Importance, and carries
on quite little commerce. 1t is the COM
mercial center of trade for eastern Sussex,
and large quantities of grain, wood, bark,
and lumber are annually exported to Phila-
delphia, New York, and other markets.
Our ship yards, with one exception, are just
now idle. This is a serious drawback, for
ship-building is one Of our chief industries.
We have several experienced builders, and
nowhere can better white oak timber be
found than in this vicinity.
l see in one of the Democratic papers
that Republicanism in Broadkiln Hundred
is on the Wane-that the young men and
boys are going over to the Democrats en-
r1dsse and as soon as the old men die of, ,
the party will be one of the things that were.
Well, the facts do not bear out this state
ment. Our Democratic friends are in error
as usual. We have host of young Repub-
licans coming on, and there is no detection
in their ranks. Our party reached it's low
est ebb four years ago, and since that time
it has been steadily regaining its lost
ground, as the decreased Democratic ma
jorities testify. And some day in the near
future we will wipe out their majority and
enter upon ne\, era. 1t can be and it Sotll
be done. We would that the Republican
party in this State we're as harmonious and
as much in accord with each other as are we
of this hundred. We are, assure you, a
unit, and as unit we condemn the course
of the person or persons who made the re-
cent wanton and malicious attack upon the
editor of the COMMERCIAL
Much dissatisfaction is expressed by the
Democrats at the result of their County
Convention. The nomination of B. w.
Truitt, OF Cedar Greek, for Sheriff, was an
unwelcome surprise to most of them, and
esveral swear they will not support him, but
we don't take much stock In their asser-
tions. We can tell better on election day,
how much there is in them. P. Y.

THE sEXToNS MISTAKE.

Brown is the sexton of Grace Church,
New York. He gets $500 year, and
besides officiating at funerals and
weddings it Is incumbent on him to
seat strangers who may attend services
at Grace. In this he is an expert and
rarely makes mistake in arriving at
the social rank of the visitor. He did
fail once, however. One cold Sunday
morning during the war time, a soldier,
with a well known private's overcoat
over his shoulders, entered the vesti-
bule of Grace Church, and, failing to
receive any notice from the sexton'
leisurely walked up the main aisle to
one of the best seats. The church was
crowded, and shortly after came
dashing Second Lieutenant, evidently
new to his straps; and throwing back
his cloak to display his rank, he was
obsequiously taken in charge by Brown.
Walking directly to the seat occupied
by the man in the old overcoat, the
sexton tapped the intruder ON the
shoulder, and said. There are seats
there for you, in tone that meant for
such as you, at the same time indicate
ing rear corner. Making no response
the private Arose, and without the
slightest embarrassment, retired to the
part of the church to which he had
been SO unceremoniously consigned
The seat he vacated was occupied by
the gallant Lieutenant, Respondent IN
the glory of brand new quarters much
more comfortable than the place he had
vacated. and, because of the nearness to
the register, he tossed back his overs
coat, revealing to the horri6ed gaze OF

TIE DAM ssAalNa.

A yc>ung gentlet1ah went to see the
the daughtseera Presbyterian elder, lately
whose house was near mill dam. Il
being in the spring Of the year, the
water made considerable roar as it
tumbled over the dam. The modest
young man tapped lightly at the door
at first and received 10 answer. He
tapped again still no answer. A gain
and again he repeated his khbek, but
still he was unheard.
MASTERING up courage; hs proceeded
to infict some severe thumbs on the
door, which brought the staid old
gentleman out.
81 suppose" said the youngster, who
had by this ti.ne become slightly savage
for being compelled to wait so long,
81 suppose you could not hear me
knocking on account of the dam roar
ing"
"The dam roaring? What do you
mean, sir! How dare you speak in that
way 7 said the divine, somewhat angered
at hearing the young man swear in Ii,
presence.
81 mean to say that suppose you
could not hear my knock on account of
the dam roaring"
Damn roaring again ! You young
scoundrel! Have you the impotence to
insult ME with the repetition of these
words' Begone, sir! y
"My dear SIR" quoth the now bewil-
dered youth, 4 intended to say that l
presumed that,I could not be heard on
account of the dam roaring, laying
particular stress on the last two words.
'Insult on insult y shouted the in
furiated old man, and rushed at the
poor fellow with the evident intention
eff ejectlng him, but was restrained by
the voice of his daughter, exclaiming:
"Papa, 1 suppose the young man ins
tended to say that be could not be
heard on account of the roaring Of the
DAM"
ooh! beg your pardon, sir-walk
in, walk in, reall-ah, well I declare!
The dam roaring! Capital Come in,
come in. This is really too rich y
1t is needless to say the youngster
went in, and in the excellent society of
the young lady soon forgot the dam
roaring. n

the grounds inside; there is large pig
con house for the flock of more than a
thousand of these birds, which are train
