ally many of them have already de-
clared they would refuse to vote assis-
tince to the Centennial project. If
Mr.. Blaine truly represents in his hot
speech of Monday Northern sentiment
why should any Southern man desire
to put foot in Philadelphia this year?
Either we, in our often declared de-
termination to make our Centennial
the Mecca of peace, have lied, or Mr..
Blaine speaks for himself alone and
not for the North.
He does not speak for the North, nor
does ne represent Northern sentiment
towards the South. We do not care
what his motive was; we say he was
wrong, and the people of the North
are not responsible for his language,
nor do they share his opinions or feel
ings, If the entire press of the North
was to make similar declaration we
feel that the South would still doubt,
still believe that MIR. Blame was but
speaking the thoughts of the North
and that is the harm of it. 1t is not
SO serious a matter that the Centennial
appropriation shall fail, though that is
serious enough, but it is serious be-
yond everything that the South should
be led to believe that the North is
still hostile, still harbors feelings OF
cnmity and bitter memories, and that
its professions of good will are lies.

one per cent. to one and quarter or one

Of property and on the head tax.
The Board fears to undertake to re-
duce the expenses OF the schools, although
the gentlemen composing it know there
has been a reduction in almost everything
within the past five or six years.
The average yearly cost per scholar
used to be about six dollars, now it is
from 50 to $l4. The ratio of increase if
kept up few years will break down the

WHAT Do They CARR ?-How much Of
the 50, 736, 49, 50 collected from the peo-
pie of Delaware, by DIR. Prettyman, since
1869, has been derived from whiskey
and tobacco we do not know. Doctor
Prettyman did not give our reporter that
information ; but the Commercial copies
our figures and adds:
when it is considered that this rcve-
nue is derived almost entirely from
whiskey and tobacco, the Ga-ette's tears
assume a crocodile character"
Now we regret to find our people taxed
unnecessarily even on their whiskey
and tobacco
Tc some very excellent men these
things may seem necessary. In some
cases every cent expended in whiskey
and tobacco" is drawn from poor mems
families.
