DELAWARE CoLLEGE.-The friends of Del
aware College are making a determined
effort to get aid from the State for that in
stitution. The object as stated in their
preamble is to elevate the standard of
scholarship in the State through encour-
ageing the College at Newark and making
it partially State institution. They desire
by getting sufficient appropriations
$6,000-to educate ten young persons from
each county selected from the pupils or
teachers in the free schools having the
highest grade of scholarship free of any
charge for tuition, board, room rent, fuel,
lights and books. The object of the bill
cannot but commend itself to the favor
able consideration of our people, the only
drawback being the demands upon the
funds of the State for its support. If our
Legislature should conclude that the
future benefit would outweigh the present
outlay, why, then, the opposition should by
no means have a controlling influence.
The advantages claimed for it are that it will
present powerful incentives in our public
schools to receive the prize and honor of a
State College education, that by this effort
in each of the schools to secure the schol
arship an incentive will be given to all the
studies and the benefit will be apparent
upon those who do not, as we'll as those
wao IL -ecure the scholarship; and tina
-.. .sAtest minds Of the State after re
ceiving the benefits that a college training
affords, will return to the State as teacher
or professional or business men, prepared
to be the leaders of thought and action il
all that pertains to the interest and welfar
of our State. The actual and reflex advan
tages Of the passage Of this bill promis
large results.

KENT CoUNTY's INDEBTEDNEss.-We, last
week, noted the statement of the Sentinel
that Kent county is in debt to the amount
OF 100000 and asked it to specify, stating
at the same time that the Dezaeoarean says
that " Kent is ready, able and willing to pay
all of her Indebtedness" Here is the
specification, as per its issue of last Satur-
day.
The Sentinel will agree to show any COM
mittee of the Legislature that the debt of
Kent county is oUer 100000. OF our per-
sonal knowledge we know where the county
owes 100000, and if any persons authorized
want to gain the information Uc scW specify
1ohere the loans a0ere negotiated. AS to the
statement of the Dcla,0arcan, that Kent
county is ready and willing to pay all her
Indebtedness, we simply observe, it is un-
true. A reference to page 80 of the Audi
tors report will show that at the settlement
of County Treasurer Hall with the Auditor
there remained in the County Treasury
$306.92. 1t will require good financierng
to pay 100000 with $306.92. But the
taxes ! The taxes are not paying the cur
rent expenses of the county and the in
terest on the debt. The county is yearly
running deeper in debt. Our county ex.
penses are not lessened, and we are yearly
paying out over $1,000 in interest. At the
ruinous rate at which we are now driving
the county in five years will owe over
! 100000. Who is to pay it? The taX-pay
ers Who incurred the debt? The Ring

IT is hard to foretell what action the
Legislature of this State will take on the
liquor question, but it is to be sincerely
hoped it will make the law more stringent,
or at least more effective against selling
without license. The great excess of
United States licenses issued in New Castle
county over State licenses shows that more
liquor is being sold in the county without
license than with it. Particularly is this
the case in the city of Wilmington, where
258 Government licenses for the sale of
liquor were issued for this year and IA by
the Court These figures show that 184 per-
sons are selling liquor in the city of Will
mington without State license, ard there
are also about 21 in the county doing the
same thing, making total of 205. This is
an irregularity" that should receive the
immediate attention of the Legislature,
and something should be done to break it
up. The temperance people of the county
might do q good work by giving their time,
energy and attention to bringing these
elicit liquor sellers to justice.-MiddLetO,on
Transcript.
The advice above for the temperance
people to give their time, energy and at
tention to bringing these illicit liquor sell
lers to justice" is all very well and looks
reasonable enough, but what we want
is law that will work itself, and not re-
quire for its enforcement that any un
authorized individual shall be under the
necessity in his support of law and goot
morals to run the gauntlet of malicious in
vectives. The Government takes hold o
this with strong hand. If there is The
least deviation from the law the govern
ment's officers ego for il" at once, anC
there is no let up until the offender i
brought to justice. If this were not so tn,
figures above would not stand as they do
25S places in Wilmington where liquor i
sold with government license and only Z
with license from the court, differenc
of 1874. What we need is law or officer
or both that deals with the same vigorou
hand as the government does and ther
will be no need for unauthorized men to d
it from a sense of duty.

A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITsELF.-New
Castle co. is in fair way to get nothing.
Under the lead of Gov. Cochran, whose
final message devoted a considerable space
to discussing the desirability of county
division, there was considerable bluster for
"a time, but strongly opposing sentiment
rendered all efforts in this direction abor-
tive, and the question was quietly laid away
for an indefinite sleep.
More recently bill has been introduced
in the Legislature for an act to sell bonds
to build new Court House, and now the
county is by the ears over this proposition.
The old court house that has from its in
adequacy received enough curses to sink it
to perdition, is desired by the progressives
of the county to be replaced by a new one,
but the Gazette, that represents a hundred
years of conservatism says the proposition
is one Of the greatest folly, "that the court
room is as large as court rooms usually are
and better ventilated than most court
rooms" Even Sam. Townsend is not will
ling for the county to have a college in it,
though supported by the State. Verify
our New Castle co. friends are to be pitied
We don't do that way down here in Kent
when the Levy Court or the Legislature
offers us a $4,000 Jail or Court House, Of
the Government $4,000 Post.ofice; We
quietly surrender and accept the situation

THE recent letter of Senator Bayard to
Mr.. Dean a member of the Legislature,
discouraging legislative action in reference
to the Delaware Railroad causes the Morn
ing Herald to say that Mr.. Bayard was re-
tanned some years ago by the r. r. as their
counsel at an annual salary and says that if
Mr. Dean knew this fact it was indelicate
in him to ask Mr.. Bayard's opinion of
matter in which his clients were interested.
The Gazette takes up the subject and the
editor says that he has been told in the
past six months that Senator Bayard was
the recipient of "retainer" of $1,000 a
year from the railroad company. This is
only retaining fee: any service rendered
would be additional to the annual fee. 1t
is understood that Chief Justice Comegys
was likwise engaged before he went upon
the Bench. The Gazette concludes:
ave believe that George c. Gordon,
ESQ.,, of this city, is the regularly employed
attorney of the P, w. & B. At least this
is what is said among the lawyers. 1t used
to be charged that the railroads tried to
secure favor and exemption from censure
by issuing free tickets. Whether this was
true or not we do not know; but we do
know that a good many years ago. after
Mr.. Hinckley became President, they
ceased to issue free tickets, and now the
local newspaper editors and clergymen are
required to pay. We believe free tickets
are still sent to members of Congress and
the members of our Legislature, and it is
possible that favored few of the Radical
press may enjoy these favors still. But thi:
is about the extent of the matter
Smyrna times., 1879-02-26

THE Chinese bill which has recently pas
sed both houses of Congress and will be-
come a law unless vetoed by the President
(which he is urged to do by several of the
strongest members of his Cabinet) has en-
gagged large share of the public attention
especially for measure not party ques-
ton. 1t is matter of morals las it en-
braces indirectly the commercial, social
and religious intercourse of the two nations)
as well as politics, and the subject is COM
ing up for discussion in the various re.
ligious bodies, with uniformly one decision
on this side of the Rocky Mountains
strong disapproval. The leading religious
papers, so far as we have seen, all condemn
the passage Of the bill at this time and the
Legislatures Of several of the States have
also likewise spoken.
