We trust and confidently expect that
every Democrat will feel 1t his duty and
his pleasure to work from now till
November to elect the entire ticket, and
thereby save all that we cherish from the
misohiefs that may await US in the
return to power of a party that never
exercised power without infringement on
human rights.-Cecii Democrat.
Several OF our exchanges say the people
along the D. M. & V. railroad are asking
for Sunday excursions to Rshoboth.
This is misrepresentation. Our people
prefer the enjoyment of the Christian
Sabbath quietly at home and In attend
ance upon the sanctuary. Moreover they
think the hard-worksd railroad employees
need one day In seven as day Of rest

The Sussex Jail is little better than
henooop, and Its keeper not the proper
man for the place, II strict justice is An
object. Ne,os and Advertiser.
Civil Service reform In q Republican
sense means the keeping Of Democrats
| from official position. 1t seems to US too
late day for a party that has kept its
power solely by the system of the spoils,
that has caused it's President to be saori-
feed upon the spoils altar on account of
his warfare upon that system, to suddenly
become converted to q doctrine hereto
fore unknown. This posing before the
country as Civil Service reformers by the
Republican party is too thin men are
easily gulled, but some bait Is too much
even tor gudgson to swallow.-Dover

1t would be cheaper for the county to
hire overseers and put the trsmps at
work upon the roads, than to fill the Jail
as it has been the past week and pay
their board. The Jail has no terrors fol
them, and they care nothing about being
inoarcerated there. Work is wha'
frightens them, and that is what tn,
State and county authorities ought t,
provide for them. Better pay NOR,
money for men to keep them than GROVE
the jail with them at heavy expense u

the Why is it that this law concern
