The Hancock and English Club of this
place was addressed by Mr.. II. F. Hepburn,
of Philadelphia, in an able speech of an

second speech before this club and our
Democratic citizens have begun to regard
him as an able speaker. Politics is the
topic of conversation in almost every place
in our town. 1t is agitated by everybody
from the small boy and girl to the gray

alone amounting we'll on to those figures,

than 100000. Some of the tracts on

manded, will, if the parties do not come
down, be banked out or taxed for improve.
ments until the owners will be willing to
sell. The unimproved marsh has, we be-
lieve, been mostly bought for about So per
acre and its sale at this price is good
thing for the owners.
This is one of the most important enter
prises that has ever been undertaken in
Duck Creek Hundred, long desired but not
expected to be seen by the present genera
ton. Its fertility and value has been
known, but there was neither skill nor
capital to utilize it. If these Hollanders
can successfully bank against the incom.
ing tides land it must be admitted they do
it successfully in their native country and
get the land properly drained; they will
have soil whose fertility cannot be ex.
celded by any Western river bottom, In
their original homes they are used to the
most painstaking cultivation, and the re-
suit is the most abundent crops. The
transformation from a breeding place of
malaria and mosquitoes to 60 and so bush.
els of corn and 400 to 600 bushels of pota-
toes per acre will seem indeed wonderful.
The success of this enterprise will give adj.
ditional value to every acre of ground in
the Eastern part of the Hundred, and our
people should lend helping hand in re-
moving every obstacle out of the way of
the new settlers.

moved; the Inspector claiming the priv
lege in case of tie of giving a casting
vote which he did electing johnson the
defeated candidate. An appeal was made
to the Superior Court being held at George.
town for mandamus to compel the officers
to give the certificate of election to Mr..
Ferris who had been declared elected.
The case was argued pro and con by able
lawyears and decided unanimously by the
court in favor of Ferris, Thus decided by
the highest tribunal of law, it should have
rested, but the law afforded a means Of
delay in writ of error which was made by
Col. Whitley, and which cannot be heard
until January. This puts it way beyond
the time of the election as was intended,
and Sheriff Pyle as per the programme has
determined to give the certificate to the
man who was not elected, who cannot ac-
cording to the decision of Judge Comegys
speaking for the court, otherwise than hold
fraudulent election. Such an act is not
only a political wrong but an offence
against the jurisprudence of our State and
if right, precedent, law and the highest
interpreters of the law are thus defied,
where have we security against any high
handed measure that may be attempted
If there is no stop or punishment to such
proceedings, where will the thing end? II
one rascally election officer is allowed to
thus disregard law and its highest officers,
the opposing party to get even land that is
the rule with politicians) may do the same
thing, and thus growing worse and worse
our political machinery will become an in
strument of fraud instead of safe guard
When all other means fail the people have
the remedy in their own hands, if they
have the courage to exercise it.

The time was when the hurrah campaign
and the stump orator were most potential
in forming political opinions, but the war
made us a nation of readers and In some
measure thinkers as the Post-ofice depart
ment shows, the amount of newspaper and
periodical literature forwarded last year
through the mails was 81, 322,629 pounds,
an increase of nearly Is per cent. over
that of the preceding year. The cores
pondencs of the country also grew, and in
every department of the postal service
there was a large increase of business.
The value of ordinary postage stamps Is
sued was $22,4l4,918, of postal cards 3d.
753,47O, of stamped envelopes nearly So,
100000, and of other stamps about 81 800,
600. There are ten papers read now where
there was one twenty years ago, and in
this number are the independent voter:
that when aroused, astonish and bewildel
the politicians.

TIE tendency of the present campaign to
run into torchlight professions and night
parades is deplorcd by the conservatOrs
of good morals on all sides. In sermons
last Sunday on the recent bloody riot in
Wilmington by Rev. Messrs Miller of Grace
Church, and Haldeman Of the Baptist,
the results were grapnIcaI4y dwelt upon
the latter charging the blame to the
demoraliring influences of these night pro-
cessions. He said they were a confession
of weakness, they did not appeal to the
reason, that they opened the door to cor
ruption, that they appealed to excitability
and outlawry, that they wrecked homes
and that enthusiasm of the kind was purely
animal. Facts bear these statements out.
On Sunday uorning The train from Phila-
delphia due in Wilmington at o'clock, re.
turned from Republican parade got into
drunken fght that lasted an half hour
The Democrats and colored men each
blamed the other for beginning it, but il
there had been no torch light parade, these
men would perhaps have been home in
peaceful slumbers. II is computed that IL
Philadelphia alone half million of dolIar
have been spent in the paraphernalia o
street parades.

The majority of American shipowners and
merchants, representing nearly two million
tons of shipping, who met in convention
in Boston recently, discussed at length the
important question how to revive our car
rying- trade on the ocean. The advocates
and opponents of free ships made the
strongest arguments they could command.
The result was overwhelmingly in favor OF
the protection of American industry and
the development of our national resources.
Resolutions were passed and will 60 to
Congress, asking for repeal of local and
national taxation laws which render com.
petition impossible, the payment of mail
compensation to American lines engaged
in the foreign trade, and protesting against
repeal of the navigation laws. The con.
vention was called by the New York Board
of Trade, and its proceedings will doubtless
bring the subject before both Congress and
the people in practical shape.

she was united in marriage TO Mr.. Chatham. As o
mother she greatly devoted to her children Her
piety, and who became a member of the Wilmington

THIS year is no exception to the general
rule, it is always so. Roorback" alter
roorback come trooping along, first affirmed
and then denied until the whole is In
mass of confusion. The man who has not
read, reflected and made up his mind at
least two weeks before the election has a
moor show to do it from the evidence after
that time. They are part of the political
capital, and large part too, centrailzlng
the party effort to keep this or that man
from kicking out of the traces, or splitting
his ticket. GENERALIZATION" is the watch
word of every politician.

The prevalence of malarial fever In re-
gions never before infected by it is puzzllng
the doctors "beyond all telling" The dis
ease has invaded even the famous Berk'
shire Hills of Massachusetts,, and how to
account for its presence there nobody can
imagine. The Boston Post thinks the
theory that the malaria is due to a germ
originating in decaying vegetation areason'
able one, and that this will account for the
spread of the disease to perfectly healthy
localities. But whatever the true explana-
ton may be, it sadly observes, the TACT
seems beyond question that this curse is
upon New England, almost to the extent
of an epidemic in some places.

Court Proceedings


Court convened at Dover on Monday of
this week all the Judges being present.
Peter Z. Collins of Smyrna filed his pc
ttion for hotel license with the privilege
of selling intoxicating liquors, and was
permitted by the Court to make his affida-
Wit at home, it appearing from the certificate
of his physician that he is confined with
an attack of acute rheumatism.
The first criminal case was that of the
State Us. Ella White, who was indicted at
the October Term 1879, for the larceny Of
goods from the store of j. r. McGOnigal of
Dover. The only defense was delivery Of
the goods to her by then clerk in the
fulflment of a contract of his own with
her. Verdict, guilty. +. A. Williams, ESQ.,,
for the State, b. Watson, Esq, for the de.
PENDANT.
The State Us. John Mclaughlin, indicted
for an assault upon B. ii. Brown at Smyrna
in August last, resulted in verdict Of not
guilty. John stated his own case and
proved himself as handy at pleading as
he is at tramping around on wooden leg.
The case of the State as. Robert Richard.
son excited considerable interest. The
prisoner was indicted for the larceny of a
"wagon.spring and two stay.rods' from j.
II. Bewley, of Smyrna, in March 1880
The prisoner claimed that the goods were
given to him, and again that he had set up
as an iron-merchant and had bought them.
The jury did not see it in just that light,
and after an absence of ten minutes re-
turned with verdict of guilty. +. A.
Williams, Esq, for the State, A. NJ. Good
ing, ESQ.,, for the defendant.
The case of the State Us Jacob Levy
Samuel Levy, and Lewis Levy indicted
for an assault and battery of Bertha Gold
stein of Dover, occupied all of Tuesday
afternoon. Verdict, guilty. George Gray,
Esq, for the State. J. B. Pennington, ESQ
for defendant. There is cross action tc
this to be tried, and the three defendants
above will then have an opportunity tc
give their version Of the affair.
The docket is full of criminal business
and the Court and members Of the Bar are
anxious to get through the business of the
Court this week. The Chief Justice ha,
suggested an adjournment on Saturday
over to Monday, Nov. Sth, in case the civil
/ list is not finished this week

ONLY four working days now until the
great political hubbub is over and peace, let
us hope, be more firmly established than at
any period for the past twenty years. The
friction has been great, but the fires of
passion in all political differences hereto
fore have burnt themselves out, and we
believe they will in this issue. There has
been a fearful amount of Decentralization
growing out of the feeling that each must
meet the other with his own weapons, but
we believe better era is being approached
An era when we shall have a free ballot,
full vote and fair count.
