DRIFT OF EDITORIAL DISCUSSION DURING
THE WEEK


Cecil Democrat: Whether, If ENGLAND
goes to war her armies will prove sue
cessful remains to be seen; but Of this
there can be no doubt,-that il England
nnd5 1t necessary she may, by reason of
her great naval superi ority, paralize the
commerce and blockade the ports of ev.
ery Power that may oppose her, lust as
when after the famous "Berlin decreen
OF the great Napoleon she closed the har-
bors Of the continent
The Deld,oarean strongly supports the
the Governors position In relation to
the .Chambers-Collins case, and says:
We are assured that Governor Cochran
when the guilt of these Two fellows was
brought into question, instituted a thor
ough investigation into the allegations
looking to their innocence, and ascer-
tanned thereby, that there was nothing
produced which warranted the exercise
u executive clemency in behalf of the
doomed convicts. Had any evidence
been discovered, which would have Gre
ated reasonable doubt in the mind of
the Governor, we are well satisfied that
hewould cheerfully havegranted a respite
and thereby afforded an opportunity to
the two fell )ws to establish their inno-
cence If possible. The protection of wo-
men from the brutal appetltes and pas
concern, and demands rigorous eXecu-
ton of the law ordained therefor.
On the same question the Middletown
Transcript says:
A Philadelphia journal says this crime
caa be called "nothing more than inn
morality. If this Is so, then we saw that
all who commit such immoral acts
should promptly dangle at the end of
rope.
Doyer Sentinel-Energy, enterprise and
thrift will make this Peninsula the gar
den spot of America.
Milford Ne,Ds:-Our army and navy
now has the most aristocratic organiza-
ton in the enlightened world.
Denton Journal:-There is q variety of
opinions among our growers as to the
damage done the peach crop by the
freeze ON Sunday and Monday nights.
Some OF them contend that the entire
crop has been destroyed others that the
late peaches which were in full bloom,
and others still that not more than one
half OF all varieties were killed. Let us
hope that it may turn out as did the crop
OF 1S75,-which suffered from more se-
we're freeze, with sleet combined, and
was admitted as killed beyond perad-
venture.
Le'ces Light:-Clover is one of the most
important means at the command of the
farmers for enriching their lands. A
large and successful farmer who visited
our office few days ago, gave what to
us was rather an exceptional course of
cropping. 1t was his practice to sow
clover literally on his wheat early in the
spring and permit 1t to grow until late
i'll the fall, when he would turn the large
growth of clover under and in the spring
SOW. barley, to be followed by wheat
seeded with clover. In this way he
grew a grain crop every year and was
still able to keep his land in good condi- |
ton.
Nsaoark Ledger:-Almost the entire
press ofDelaware and nine-tenths of the |
people rejoice at the rejection of John |
NJ. Dunn by the Senate as U. S. Marshal |
for this State. Stuffing ballot boxes |
and importing election repeaters are not
badges of nobility in the Diamond |
Stale. |
