The subject of Ship Canal across the
Peninsula is causing deal fof perplexity
as to the route it shall rum The assump-
ton that it will be, seems to be general !;
the ~hs" is dependent entirely upon the
ability to unite on single, direct line.
These have narrowed down practically to
two, the SIAssafas and Choptank. The
claimants for each of these routs were
before the Congressional Committee last
Week, the practical effect being to still
further delay decision though the Chop
tank advocates made the stronger impress
sion. Now Judge Layton steps forward
for the renewal of Ship Canal charter
which was granted fifty years ago by our
Legislature which is very much the same
as the Choptank route. He is the only
survivor of the corporators now living
and stands the connecting link between
the progressive ideas of the past and the
practical Of the present. 1t is stated that
the Congressional Committee will ordel
another survey, the effect of which vii
cause still further delay and indicision.

THERE is a constitutional perverseness

THERE is constitutional perverseness
in some people that forces them in oppo-
sition to every reformatory measure,
while refusing to be classified with the
bad They are always for some other
way, and are never anything unless pull
backs The Every Eue'si'lg seems to be
the organ for this class; they know a
great deal, but when their wisdom is
practical, it is always used as "down-
breaks" on the car of progress. The
dynamic force of this class and the Euey
Euenng is now being used against the ag-
gressive effort to eradicate the vice of in
temperance.

THERE is always little railroad war at
our biennial sessions, the one now before
the Legislature being over the Delaware
Western Railroad bill. The P, W. & B.
regard the privileges asked for, to be
inimical to it and in favor of its rival
the Pennsylvania, and this being the case
a silent but powerful influence may be
efectual in defeating the BILL The purpose
of the Delaware Western bill is said to
be to make it the connecting link through
our State of a rival line between New
York and Washington thereby taking
Wilmington in the route. The laws of
Pennsylvania and Maryland make it prac-
teal for the road to be constructed in
those States, and such being the fact the
business men of Wilmington or at least
a large part of them think that city
should have whatever of advantage there
may be from such road, rather than i
should curve away from them just around
the State line. -

On Friday, IA inst, Mrs. Emma Brown,
wife of Yves. Brown, Dover died OF dlphterla:
One of the children was taken sick, and
on Sunday it died. on Monday both were
buried. The coffin of the mother in one
hearss, and that of the child in another.
Five young women and two young men
broke through the ice together at Laurel
the other day. William Sipple, the only
person near, heard a crash and saw dozen
hands sticking out Of the water. lie ran
to the edge Of the hole and pulled three OF
the girls out at once, the second clutching
the feet of the first and the third those Of
the second. He then rescued the others
and now is the hero of the town, with the
credit of saving seven lives.
WHAT is TO BE ASKED FoR.-The Execu.
tive committee of the State Temperance
Alliance met in Dover last week to perfect
a bill which as approved by the committee
provides in substance that no license to
manufacture or to sell intoxicating liquors
shall he granted in any county Of this State,
where ma jority of the legal voters Of the
county are opposed to the granting Of such
licenses, that the wish of the ma ority Of
legal voters is to be ascertained in either Of
two ways; first, by petition to the court
of General Sessions of the Peace and Jail
Delivery by majority of the lega! voters
of the county. expressing their wish that
such license may be granted, or, second, by
an election TO be held on the first Tuesday
of May in every year. 1t is the intentiC n
! of the executive committee to have their
petitions and their bill presented to the
Legislature for action about the first ct
! February.

THE Divorce question in the Legisla-
ture has been the subject of much discus
sion and amendment, the result leaving it
practically where it was when they took
it up. They voted finally IL to 9 to ex-
clude all cases cognizable under the
statute except when the circumstances
were such as to demand more speedy
redress. This still left an open door for
Mr.. Robinson to push in bills and fair
proportion of them are likely to be intro
duced. The Senate has not yet appointed
a committee on Divorce and Mr.. Robin
son weary with the delay has introduced
a resolution virtually directing them to do

speech adroitly setting forth that a law re-
ferred to the people instead of being COM
pletely enacted by the Legislature was
unconstitutional, and the Court SO deci-
ded. A Prohibatory law with the same
Court and same advocate would have
been likewise pronounced unconstitutional
flor this was the handspring of their &C
tion) had not the Supreme Court of the
United States the same year decided
unanimously that prohibitory laws ''were
not inconsistent with the Constitution of
the United States nor with any Acts of
Congress-" and, "that it was within the
police powers of the States to restrain or
prohibit the traffic in intoxicating drinks"
To reach the force of this argument MIR.
CLAYTON had to and did admit that our
school law previously enacted and still In
force was unconstitutional in its provision
leaving the election of Commissioners an
nually to a majority vote, but has 1t ever
been decided unconstitutional? and if I'M
constitutional, why has it been allowed to
be in force for nearly half a century :?
The public opinion, bar and Court with
its decision of that day may not inappro-
priately be termed "antiquated," and a
Clayton then and Clayton now might be
men of very different arguments.
The reversal of public opionion and
Court decisions and how effectually it
may be done, is fully exemplifed in the
history of the past twenty-five years,
without the necessity of long search
through dusty tones. At that time
Judge Tanney for the U. S. Supreme
Court declared ''the individual of African
descent had no rights which the white
man was bound to respect" Would
Judge Tanney if living and at the head
of the Supreme Court to-day promulgatt
such a sentiment? The editor of the
EUay Erening himself, we think, will joir
with Mr.. Huntington that such a decision
is aO,c 'antiquated' and has lost "forc,
with age" Then, every measure tt
strengthen the Government in the civi
strife-the calling out the $4,000 men
the march across the border invadin!
State sovereignty, the issuing of Green
backs, the interference with the right 0
one man to make property of another, tn
laying of imposts, &C., &C., were all de
clared unconstitutional at the time, but i
such question raised to-day? And
not, what is it but the force of publ
opinion? The antiquatedness of the de
cision above referred to is clearly seen b,
comparison. This decision was rendere,
thirty-three years ago. Since then locs
option measures have been enacted in
number of States, and if single one {
them has been declared unconstitutions
we have not heard of it. The gensr'
principles of Legislation are the same i
all States, and if local option is wrong
it not probable that the legal acumen
some one of these States would have di
covered it! Perhaps, after all, the Editc
of Every EUening wants legal and dire
prohibition. If so, he could not take
more direct way to obtain it. =

down. The penalty is a fine not exceed
ing 500, and imprisonment not exceeding
six months. The question is, will she get
free as she has done heretofore, in the
main. She has tempered with the law

The storm of Thursday night and Friday
was particularly severe in New York and
New jersey. Telegraph wires were prostrat.
ed, and direct electric communication was
greatly interrupted. A striking popularity
Of the storm was the rapid formation of i'm.
mense icicles upon the wires and trees, in
many cases carrying down the wires and
breaking off the branches of the trees by
their weight. The New Jersey coast was
swept by a terrible gale all day, the wind
blowing eighty miles an hour At Asbury

The Rev. G. Huntington, Of Dover, in
taking the Evay Ecening to task for oppo-
sing Local Option in Delaware rs 'incon-
sistent with that regard Tor the public
welfare which has been so often expressed
In Its columns" uses the word "antiqua-
ted" as applied to the decision of the
Court Of this State on the Lincense law
of 1S47. The point of this decision was
that by referring it to vote of the people
a law SO enacted was unconstitutional be-
cause the Legislature was the only law
making power. Mr.. FL. intimates that
there has been progress in law making,
while E. E. thinks that old laws gain
force by age. Every one familiar with
the legislation of our Nation and particu.
larry the States knows that the word "con.
stitutional" is not a fixed and absolute
commodity like Truth or Right 1t ought
to bemore than tits, but every one knows
how relative it is in its application, the
Court decision often being the reflex O
the most forceful public opinion. TIL,
decision above referred to was mad,
when the feelings of the court, the ba
and the political leaders were all hos
THE to temperance legislation. The run
jug was then the right bower in the hand
Of the politician. The principles of tenn
perance had not then permeatsd the mas
