A PEACH blossom has appeared at
Jacksonville, Florida and the fact is
announced in every paper in the land,
Just as they would announce the elec-
ton of a United States Senator. No
such ado is made over the blossom of
the apple or the cherry. And this re-
minds US that somehow the peach
naturally suggests Delaware, for the
papers of other States are bound to lug
them in somehow. Thus, week or so
ago the Philadelphia Times could not
announce simple senatorial election
without dragging in the peach thus
"The peach crop may fail in Delaware
but the Salisbury crop is always sure. "
There are some things that cannot be
denied, but there is no merit in the
wit that is always reaping up stale
facts. But to a large number of our
farmers there is something in the peach
more than a name, which cannot al
ways be said of a Senator, for it has a
financial value, and as the old saw has
it, money makes the mare CO." The
peach, we are happy to state, during
the past cold weather in our State, has
been simply alternating, and if moth
ing else iisturbs it between now and
the maturing season, it may again add
to the plethora of our bank deposits
from which to issue in a steady stream
to improve and develop our agricul
tural resources.

THE item of the Tariff Bill that has
stirred up the business interest of the
Peninsula more than any other has
been that on tin-plate. The present
duty is one and one-tenth cents per
pound. The tariff commission raised
it to two aud two-tenths cents. The
Senate tariff bill as reported put it
back to the present rate, but Senator
German, of Maryland, Friday had it re-
duced to one cent per pound. The
House bill as reported provides for a
duty of one and one-tenth cents per
pound, the present rate. The Gamers
can now probably rely upon it that no
change will be made in the amount of
tax on their raw material, or, if there
is, that it will be in the right direction.
The proposition of the Tariff Commis-
sion to double the duty on tin-plate
would add considerable to the cost of
every canner.

THE opinion of Chancellor Salisbury
fell like a bomb among the crowd of
Wilmington inflated Representation
lists. The opinion however is enter
tanned that he was fully as partizan on
the question as he was judicial, and for
that reason had not the explosive
power intended. The undue haste,
discourtesy we might say to his
brothers of the judicial bench, in rush.
ing in his opinion without consulta-
ton with them, looked like hostile
intent not in keeping with the dignity
of his high Office. Much now depends
upon the opinion reached by the other
judges. If they are likewise "strict
constructionists," the advocates car
hardly hope to carry the measure il
the face of such recognized lega
authority. The Chancellor's opinion
is said to be concurred in by larg,
part of the Dover bar.
N. B.-since the above was put il
type, Judge Comegys has given hi
opinion. He differs with the Chancel
lor in believing that q county repre-
sentation can be increased, but agree
with him that it must be done b
counties and not by districts,
Smyrna times., 1883-01-31

THE Daily Gazette is advocating dis
trict in preference to county represen-
tation. After showing the possibility
of one party by simply a bare majority
having and controlling the entire rep
resentation of the county for years,
it says: .-... -....t...
A judicious and equitable division
of the State into legislative districts
would avert this danger, and insure
success to the democratic party for
years to come, while at the same time
permitting a minority representation al
every session. This, it seems to us
would be a decided advantage, as q
legislative body composed entirely Of
members of one political party admit!
of no division of responsibility, anC
fails to represent all the people of the
State. To hold that minorities have
no rights that majorities are bound t
respect is un6emocratic in principle
and the practice has prevailed long
enough in this State. even if the tota
representation is not increased to thu
extent of a single member"
The Gazette is viewing the question
it will be seen, from party advantag
or disadvantage, but the principal G
minority representation is right. 1t
as fair for one party as another an
infinitely more just to the minority.

The anti-bribery bill of DIR. Craw-
ford's, introduced Monday, proposes to
simply disfranchise the venal wretch
who is mean enough to sell his vote
thus destroying his stock in trade.
For the first offense the penalty will be
four years disfranchisement; for each
subsequent Offense, eight years.
Senator Cooper has revived the
effort, which failed two years ago, to
protect Delaware clergymen by abro-
eating the marriage license system by
which they are handicapped. Fully
one-half of the wedding fees which
Delaware ministers, near the border,
are fairly entitled to go to swell the
pocketboOks of their brethren in Phila-
delphia and Chester. The average
groom will not bother himself about
hunting up bondsman, and paying
$3.50 for license, when the cars will
take him for fifty cents to a place
where there are no such restrictions.
" If we must make up the revenue in
some way" he suggests, let us levy
tax on divorces"
And this recalls the divorce petition
read in the House Monday afternoon,
which Mr.. CoOch at first moved to
indefinitely postpone, but subsequent
ly withdrew the motion at the earnest
request of Mr.. Denney. According to
the document in question, the petition
er has a terrible termagant for spouse,
but his own language suggests that
there may be another side to the
matter.

The greatest fight in Congress just
now is over the Tariff Bill. The Re
publicans want to pass the revised bill
this session when they are in power,
but the Democrats want to stave it off
till next Winter, when they will be in
the majority. The bills now being
acted on will reduce the revenues
about $25, 900, 600, dutiesto that
being taken off sugar, wooden goods
and other necessities.

THE pilotage question of the Della
ware bay and river that has come al
most to open war between the pilots of
Pennsylvania and Delaware several
times during the past two years has
got down to question of " tit for tat. J."
The Pennsylvania pilots have tried to
knock those of Delaware clear out OF
water, but Senator Mustard, of Lewes
has prepared bill with the aid of Cap
tain Virden, an old pilot, which if
passed will, it is thought, afford ample
protection to the pilots who look out
with their spy-glasses, from that
ancient town.

Friendship Church.

Friendship Church, in Thoroughfare
Neck has from the beginning of Meth
odism in that section, one hundred
years ago, been a strong and infiuen-
tial charge. Ithas large constituency
and the families that gather about it
hold the spot as more sacred because
there repose the ashes of their ances-
tors, and there the families of the
meek" who represent in the aggre-
gate large area of valuable farms,
meet for religious worship and social
greetings. Until some ten years ago,
when it was set off to form part of
what is called Appoquinimink circuit,
it had always been one of the appoint
ments of Smyrna circuit. The other
appointment of Appoquinimink circuit
is Union Church, beyond Blackbird,
where repese the remains of the
revered Bishop Scott. This too, also
formed part of Smyrna circuit, and in
| former times was known as an appoint
ment of ardent, loyal Methodists.
Time has brought changes, and "old
Friendship, that once formed one of a
family of eight, is thinking of still fur
ther carrying on the work of partition
and thus stand alone-a unit. 1t is
only aquestion of courage in assuming
the responsibility. In asking the Con-
ference to be set off by themselves
and thus assume the responsibilities of a
station, they would have to provide
themselves with parsonage, and we are
told efforts have been made to negotiate
for certain properties. Whether the diff
culties in the way will be surmounted
we know not, but the larger part OF
the congregation, we are informed, de
sire it. u.s.. 4a tlg4 ssA Is =.
!. There seems to be o want Of harmony
between them and certain chronic NAL
contents at Union that are never happy
unless in leading partizan strife
The society thought at one time it wa
clear of them, but like bad penny
they are constantly turning up wher,
they are not wanted. In such al
event, Union is not able to stand alone
and would have to unite with Towns
end or some other appointment.

PART of the Civil Rights Bill has
been declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court. 1t is
said the whole bill will be so declared
sometime in the near future. This is
the fate of all reforms in their infancy,
but when full grown, Judges and
Courts drop the unconstitutional dodge
There never has been q reform measure
that was not beset in the beginning
