Deldwdredn He [Mahonel will never
be heard of except to be execrated.-
Honorable Republicans can cherish for
for him no respect, while they may use
him for present purposes, and Demo-
orats will despise and shun him as un-
worthy of their confidence and recogni-
tiOn.
Dover Sentinel-The funding bill
forces the " hole of our bends into the
hands of brokers, prevents the conver
sion of the new bonds into the new
series, and prevents the banks and peo-
pie from becoming the holders of the
certificates OF our indebtedness except as
they purchase them from the brokers'
There are sensible men in the Legisla-
ture, whose private business life indicates
their business capacity, aud we think
that their sober second thought Will
eonvice them that the passage of the
Funding Bill WAS an error If not a
bluder.
Seaford Inde1:-Itis a significant fac,
that every railroad on the Eastern Shore
runs across IL from West to East, and all
of them are simply feeders TO the Della
ware division OF the z. w. & b. There
IS more Than "naagn IRON In thess nu-
merous feedlis w Julld through line
| from tho southern extremity of Eastern
| Virginia, 70 the Northern extremity OF
Cecil county If 1t were used for that pur
pose, land no one doubts that such a.road
would prove a greater doubts that such a
| road would prove greater benefit to
| the Peninsula at large than all these one
horse roads comoined, besides paying q
| handsome profit to the owners, thing
unheard of in the history OF all the pres
| ent lines.
Milford NeuS.-The present Collector
| SNFF iaf p In1 n nt NM
has good reasons to to ask for his con-
| tinuation in office. DIR. Houston's gen.
eral and party regulations are good, his
ability as a business man acknowledged,
end his loyalty approved. Hewould un-
dou btedly make good officer. On the
other hand there seems to be no fault
found with the administration OF the
Office under Mr.. McIHtyre. He has not
been very active politician, and while
this fact will 10. make him any opposl-
ton within his own party, by so much
less will he have the warm support of
politicians.
From the issue it will be possible to
determine something of the political
wires that connect Delaware with WASH
ington.
S1tsser ,TOltrndl.-In their extend re-
marks over the passage of the fiscal bill,
they have not the moral courage and
spirit OF manliness to acknowledge that
posed of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis had been almost TO a man pressing
this bill during the whole session. That
the counsel for the city was earnestly in
f vor OF ii and that tine member of Will
mington and some OF his party allies
were at one time strong supporters and
advocates of the same bill. Ought not
these papers TO state these facts, and will
they not explain how some OF their Ie-
presentatiyes from New Castle come SO
suddeniy-after a visit to wilmington w
to change their mind, why 1t was that the
City Council SO earnestly advocated this
measure and how il was that the people
OF w linn ington who are SO indignant did
not rem onstrate against Its passage, and
how 1t was that these papers We're so long
in seeing the great iniquitie7 of The pres
ent billP All that is asked is fair play
and an homes presentation O. the case,
which even these papers must admit not
To be an unreasonable request.
AtddtctotUn Transcript :-If the Legisla
ture wants to do real good thing for the
State, before 1t adjourns, let 1t pass an act
limiting the terms OF future sessions OF
the law makers. Aud above all let the
terms be short. Nothing adds more to
the beauty OF a Legislative session than
brevity. You can hardly get one too
abort for the good of The State.
