The Fiery Erenng is very much dis
gruntled at the down State papers, be-
cause they do not take kindly to the
military, and support the bill now
pending before the Legislature provid-
ing for the organization Of State militia,
and it has no sympathy with such
thing called Democracy, but having no
idea of the foundation principles OF
Democracy as laid down by Jefferson
and built upon by Jackson. 1t says;
I'VE hav. no contract for teaching
Democracy to Delaware Democratic
newspapers, and do not intend to waste
time and space in the effort. There
now, all you Democratic editors in the
State, you know what you have got to
do; it is only TO bow at the T.. RS
shrine and drink in the pure waters OF
Democracy, and even Senator Sauls-
bury is reminded that he aust train
up the Deidudrean 10 quit getting OIL
such nonsense as it utters on what II
calls Democracy. We rather agree with
the r. +. in regard to the senseless
iargon called Democracy in Delaware,
aud in fact everywhere else for that
matter, so long as the cry is, "Any-
thing to get the next President" but
when the 4. T.. undertakes to teach
Senatp r salisbury what Democracy Is
well, that gets our time. Fall in SEN
ator salisbury, Governor Hall, Score
tary Walc,tt, Archie Given, sam.
Townsend, Boss Pritchett, DeIa"area",
Gazette, Morning Herald, with its Flori-
da editor, Middletown Transcript, Sea
ford inder, Sussex Journal, with its
spiritually minded editor, and train
under the true banner of Democracy as
taught by its inspired leader, the edi-
tor of tn. Erery Ereni"q.

The Assessment Law.

We trust that the Legislature will
speedily modify or amend the act pro-
viding for the assessment and collec-
ton of a capitation tax for county pur-
poses. Every man should be assessed
and be required to contribute to the
support of the government in proper
ton to his ability. 1t is unjust TO per
init one class TO escape from the pay
rnent of their quota, and at the same
time to increase the burden of another
class. The property holders, with
great propriety, complain OF the exac-
ton to which they are now subjected,
and it is not surprising that they
should demand a remedy. The Legis-
lature should afford it, or changes may
possibly lie effected that will lead to it
in two years hence. 1t should be made
the duty of the assessor to assess every
man, anu the COlI0CtbT suouli NC "
quired to collect the amount so assess
ed, from every one who has the ability
to pay. Only those bordering on pau
perism, those who have no visible
means of support, should be returned
rs delinqusnts or errors. Justice re-
quires the adoption OF some such pro.
vision, and the man who is not ready
or willing to act in conformity with
such requirement, is unworthy the
name OF an impartial or honest legisla-
tor. The assessment law should not
be made a means of controlling cleo
tions, and the assessor, collector and
Clerk OF the Peace, who will use their
respective positions to diminish or in
crease the number Of voters in the
State, do great public wrong, and de-
serve severe punishment.

Board Of Education Leg tslatt0n

Board Of Education Legislation
The Board OF Education is very mod
est in its requests from the Legislature
this time, having got the appropria
ton for the support Of the public
schools in the city fixed up in very good
shape at the last session. 1t requests
however, now that these appropriations
be paid to the Board by the City Coun.
ell monthly, in twelve equal payments
which would be about $500 pei
month. This We think is a very rea,
sonable request, and one which would
b- 10 the advantage of the City Coun
Gil as well as the Board of Education.
Another reasonable request is that ten
out of twenty members shall make a
quorum instead Of twelve as at present,
though for the life of us we cannot see
why fifteen ont Of twenty members all
properly imbued with the spirit OF the
work in which they are engaged,
could not b. got together at any time
A member of the Board of Education
who has the real interests of education
at heart will not be. absent from the
meetings OF the Board which are held
only twice a month, unless in extreme
cases which compels absence. Any DO
dy whose business interferes with his
attendance at the Board should not be
a member But then we cannot ex-
pect perfection in the Board OF Educa-
ton no more than We can in the City
Council or in the Legislature, and un-
der the circumstances VIZ think the
request for smaller number to consti.
tute quorum is proper and should be
granted.
The third request is to remove the pro.
hl'i'l'ii against ine'npelA contracting
with the Beard for materials or labor
furnished for the Board. This prohi-
bition prohibits stove man who may
be "A member from selling a stove, a
piece of pipe, a coal bucket, or a shovel
for school house. A jeweller could
not furnish clock, dry goods
man piece of carpet or bookseller a
book, a Zimmerman u board, ard a car
p-nt-r or mason would be prohibited
from making gate or laying stone
step. This request We think too is
wise, subject to the restrictions recon-
m-nded. The last request is to strike
out that clause making members of the
Board voting in the affirmative, liable
for any expenditure in excess of the
appropriation. This always waa a
foolish clause, and made necessity of
el-ctinc no persons to the Board
unless they had patch of real estate
tagged TO their coat tails as a substitute
for brains in the head. The Board
should have gone step farther and re.
quested the Legislature to strike out
that clause requiring members OF the
Board to be real estate owners. 1t il
high time that brains, and not a lot Oh
marsh ground full Of miasma, should
rule the Board. While the Legislature
are considering the recommendations OF
the Board. We hope they will consider
this real estate clause also, although
not asked to do so by the Board, and
expunge it from the charter. 1t is a
standing insult to every man of intelli-
gence who does not owr a patch Of real
estate.

THE "buzzard dollars" so much de.
rided by the New York papers, are not
as unpopular as they are made out to
be. Treasurer Gilfllan says they 60
oil like hot cakes at country fair.
The orders received for them at the
Treasury amount to about $50, 900 per
day. The largest single order yet re-
ceived was from a bank at San Antonio
Texas, for s15, 900, the officers of which
say they will take $4,000 more or
February l. Mr.. Gilfllan says that he
fills distant orders with great alacrity
because it will take the dollars so much
longer to stt-back. We doubt whether
they will ever get back. The country
can absorb one hundred millions of the
"sbiners," for business purposes alone,
and as much or twice as much more

A SOUTHERN CLAIN.-The latest South
ern claim disposed of is that of Col.
Keitt, a chivalrous blue blood from the
Kingdom of Wade Hampton, who tried
to wiring $4,000 out OF the New York
Times on suit for libel brought
against that paper for saying that a
certain Col. Keitt was bisamist.
This accusation the aforesaid gentle
man took to mean himself The Times
in reply stated that he was not the per-
son meant that there was another Col.
Keitt, colored individual, who was
the party referred to. But this did not
suit the irate Carolinian and he kept
up the fight against the "Times" un-
til he actually succeeded in wringing
the sum of six cents from the pockets
of that most excellent journal. This is
quite an unusual sum We admit, but as
the suit was brought for sou, 900 dam
ages, we fear this breyet Southern Col
onel will after all feel dissatisfied with
his munificent verdict. 1t is good
deal of money in these hard times, it is
true, but will not allow Of the stump.
tuous living and fine raiment to which
this Colonel no doubt looked forward.
This thing of making large sums of
money out of newspaper proprietor8 by
suing them for libel has not been much
OF success lately. The damages dur
\. 4,
Ting the past year or two in such cases
have run all the way from nothing up
to one cent. Col. Keitt, however has
been more lucky than some others md
has a verdict for six cents.

A FEELING IS beginning to prevail that
if Mr.. Edison wishes public faith in
that electric light to continue and re-
main steadfast, he will have to give
an early demonstration of the truth of
his claim that it is a practical success.
When he at first announced that he
had solved the problem of dividing the
light and of adapting it to domestic
uses, there was a very general inclina-
ton to accept the story with absolute
confidence, because Mr.. Edison had
proved by his previous inventions that
he could achieve some things which
had been regarded by other men as i'm
possible. But aft n all the proof of the
pudding is in the eating, and the world
after waiting patiently Tor the public
display of an invention which hap sent
gas stocks down as sOon as it was her
aided, will be disposed, unless Mr.. Ed,
ison shows bis hand, to suspect that
the Ellison Electric Light and the kee,
ley Motor will hav" to be- ranked t.
gether as enterprises which contained
much more Of promise than OF performs
anCe.

CASUALTIES ON THE SKAatr. "A gen.
,leman just down from the head waters
OF the Skagit river gives Us the follow
ing account Of two boating accidents
which recently took place on that
stream. Last week two men who had
come oil the way from Tacoma in .
skid. and had assembled the river in
safety as far as Minkler's Rifles. above
the sawmill. Were thrown into the water
by the capsizing Of their boat. Luckily
for them. they were in company with
other boats at the time Of the mishap.
aud were soon picked up. A portion Of
their provisions were lost, but :heir
rescuers divided with them. thus ena-
bling the unfortunate twain to proceed
to the mines. A canoe. containing Mr..
Ferguson, wife aud son. and ooppan-
ion. capsized about fifteen miles above
the jam. shortly after. Only one per.
son in the whole party could swim, and
by his assistance the whole party WAS
rescued. Il will be remembered that
Mr.. Ferguson MAS ct Que time employed

a millinery establishment on Mill street,
opposite the Occidental Ho.el. They
are now engaged in farming on the Ska.
git, aud were on their way home when
the accident above mentioned befell
them.
