DRIFT OF EDITORIAL DISCUSSION DUR
ING THE WEEK.
With visions of corn bread and her
ring, and "hog's iowl and hominy.n In
bounteous provision throughout Sussex
county, the Milford Chronicle says:
In his speech at Georgetown, last Tues
day, Mr.. Bayard said IN substance that
there Is no man or woman in Sussex
county who will feel the pinch of want
or the pangs of hunger next winter who
has had fair health, unless it be as a re-
suit OF their vice or idleness. This seems
| IKE a broad statement when we reflect
on the numbers In our cities and in some
OF our manufacturing States who will go
| agged and hungry, but nevertheless the
Seoator Is right. Wo are not blessed in
this section by rich, mineral resources,
nor numerous large manufactures (not
AZ many as we ought to have), but gem
erous soil gives TO those who have the
Industry and perseverance, to cultivate it
properly, a.good living at least, and pos
sibly portion to lay aside for "rainy
day"
The Chronicle also gives the following
explanation of the "greenback craze" in
Sussex county:
There is an undercurrent of political
1eelng feeling in Sussex favorable to the
National party. This feeling, we believe,
has, In great measure, been generated
by the circulation of such papers as the
Ado0cdte, Shupe's greeuback organ. The
AdcOcdte has been circulated far and
wide, and as a natural consequence some
the unsophisticated have imbibed the
false and fallacious doctrines of the green
hackers.
The Milford Ne,cS derives the follow
ing solid comfort from the recent cleo
tions:
Now the simple truth in relation to the
whole case il, that the Nationals hold the
balance of power throughout the country
as they did in all these states except
Iowa, and that In the Presidential elec-
ton of 1890 the party with which they
unite, if any, will elect the next Presi-
dent.
1t is clear that the Plutocrats are daily
working in such manner as will result
in taking the government out of the
bands of the Republicans and putting it
into the hands of the Democrats in their
new found alliance with the radical and
progressive men, late of the former party.
II other words they are forcing the Re-
publican party into conservative posi-
tion in which no party ever is successful
in this country.
The Ne,os also strongly urges the Re-
publieans in Sussex to coaesce with the
nbackers, and asks:
Will it not serve the future interests of
the Republicans of Sussex to aid the Ma
tionals by every means in their power to
elect their ticket ON the 9th of Novem-
ber?
The same course ought also be taken
in New Castle county, and either the
Republican ticket he withdrawn or
combination ticket made up out of the
two. The time is short, ,whatever.is done
should be quickly done, the present
emergency promptly, vigorously and
properly met may result in a defeat for
the Democrats in the State! Shall we
strike tor liberty?
Newtown Record The man who
squiIts tobacco juice on a church floor

Just what the Denton Journal means
by the following it will be hard for the
average reader to discover
Property then is not natural right.
1t is the creature of society. 1t is a gift
from the community to the individual /;
hut has that gift no condition ? Yes,
many. What are they? just what the
community shall deem II expedient to
prescribe in accomplishing its appointed
work, of promoting "the greatest num-
ber"

Chesteriown Ne,os - -Gunners, this fall
had better be careful in selecting theil
route of travel in the hunt after birds
and other game. Farmers are coming to
the conclusion that the privilege of hunt
ing game on their lands belongs exclu-
siveIy to themselves, and other persons
cunning or hunting upon their premises
are guilty of trespass under the law
Salisbury Adritiser Let the good
work so well done in the East and West
still go on, until such a majority is ac-
quired in both Houses that will insure
the passage of such measures for the re-
lief of the people az. the extra pressure of
the times so much demand. Let every
Democrat bend all his energies to this
end, not turning to the right or left, but
dropping all side issues, such as temper
ance, ha d or soft money, internal an
provements-aye, everything, looking
only to securing safe representative
government.
The Seaford Inde1 closes a sensible
editorial on the financial question with
the following level-headed expressions:
There is but one road to prosperity,
and that is through honest industry,
restoration of confidence, perseverance
and strict economy on the part of the
public, together with a faithfal discharge
ofits political duties. When those duties
are faithfully performed, money that now
lies idle will spring into circulation as II
bs magic, and a new era will dawn upon
our land.
