DRIFT OF EDITORIAL DISCUSSION DURING
THE WEEK.

Deid,1dredn:-We think that the enc
mics of the silver dollar should com,
out and tell the people that they were
| mistaken; but instead of doing so, a,
hsnor would seem to dictate, they still
continue, or large number at least do
to denounce the advocates of the silver
bill rs repudiators The silver dollar is
fixed fact in this country. The question
has been Settled, and the sooner every
one realizes this fact, aud cease to howl
| about honest money and silver craze
the better it will be for all concerned
Concerning State politics the Dela,oa.
rem also has the following:
The Republicans of this State, il we
are to judge from their actions, have
ceased their efforts to reverse the Demo.
ocratic majority heretofore given. They
are not trying in any manner to get Their
| negroes on the assessment list They
| also, failed to pay their taxes, and many
of them openly proclaim that they shall
oppose, rs far as this county is concerned
placing any ticket in the field. A very
wise conclusion to arrive at.
CecH Democrdt:-We hardly think
Rutherford will occupy place with the
'imlnortal George" in the school books
Of the future. Just now he offers in
himself the example of a party leader
who is of no use whatever. The strag-
glers that are daily coming into the Den-
ocratic camp weaken Radicalism and as
sure its speedy fall. II regarded in the
light of actual good done the country,
the first year of Hayes has been fail
ure. If viewed at to the future, then
Mr.. Hayes, as public benefactor, by
killing the Radical party, has succeeded
admirably.
DOUer Sentinel: - William Herbert
County Treasure of New Castle county
has published n statement Of the finan-
cial condition of that county. This
would be a good example for the Treas
urer of this county to follow. The tax
payers would like to see once moro just
how their money was expended
Aiddteto,on Transcript: dropped
to 1904 on Monday, the lowest point yet
touched. As the premium on gold is
now only nominal II will no doubt be in
general circulation almost as soon as the
dollar of the daddies."
Ne,odrk Ledger:-Hundreds of petitions
from all parts of the country have been
sent toi Congress urging the repeal of
the iniquitous duty on imported type.
But the poor printers have no money to
bribe congressman or feast committees,
and they must take a back seat.
Commenting on a recent editorial in
the GAZETTE, advising people to sell
their property themselves, instead of al
lowing the Sheriff to sell it for them, the
Seaford Inder says:
Many persons who own real estate,
and who, by combination of unfortu-
nate circumstances, become financially
embarrassed, and yet conscious of the
fact that they are insolvent, cling tena-
ciously to the hope that they may find
their way safely out of the difficulty
only too late to discover that the
patience of their creditors has become
exhausted, and every thing is taken
from them. The Sherifff's costs and law
ysr's tee are items of importance, and
by selling property without their assist
ance or Interference, ,allthese unnecessary
expenses could be avoided, and it would
be so much clear money iu the pocket of
the owner.
Le,oes Light:-A good school like a
good church increases the value of town
more than the amount Of tax
required to sustain 1t. Strangers seeking
a new residence are sure to ask. "Is
there a good school in the place?" No
town can afford to be without school,
and one of the towns of Delaware will
lose one of its best professional men this
for no other reason than this
"lhe school is too low a grade for my
and l am not able to send them
away-I must find a placeof better edu-
cational advantages"
