poses to enter more largely than ever
into the business Of canning fruitsretc.
We wish Mr.. T.. success in his enter
prise.
Regarding the canning Of fruits and
vegetables 1t is estimated that during
the past four years there were canned,
Of tomatoes, :, ,225, 600 cases of two dozen
each, or 4450,O0O dozen cans, at one
bushel per dozen cans. At an average
of 100 pushels per acre this would
make an acreage devoted to tomatoes
for canning purposes of 2l.l25. There
were canned 100000 cases of peaches,
or 100000 dozen, and other fruits
amounted to 1000, 900 cases, or 4, 900, 900
dozen. Meat and poultry also furn-
ished 300, 900 cases, or 2600, 900 dozen.
Rev. Joseph Waugh has purchased,
and has on his farm west of Camden,
a herd Of six Holstein cattle. They
are pure-blood, all being imported or
from imported stock. As mixers
they stand A l, and for butter these
cattle are said to be the equal of the
Jerseys The advantages of the HOl-
stems for Delaware are numerous.
They are not only large aud yield
much beet, but the milking and butter
qualities are equal to the best, while
veals from them are valuable. The
bull with this herd is only one year
old, but he bids fair to oe not only large
but has all of the points favorable to
the breed
During the thick fog of Friday night
last, the Old Dominion steamer Seneca
collided with the large Wilmington
schooner William S. McCabe Off the
New Jersey Highlands. The schooner
was loaded with corn and was on her
way from the Rappahannock river to
New York. She was struck abaft the
cathead and stove in nearly to the
mainmast. She sank in about three
minutes, and the captain aud crew
were saved by lines thrown them with
the loss of everything but what they
wore. The sunken schooner was built
at this place in 1882, and was mainly
owned by Capt. Z. b. T. Williams,
Joseph G. McNeal and William S. Nc
Cabe, of Frankford and Joseph Hollo-
way and John Wallace, Of Philadel-
phia.

COMMUNICATIONS
District Representation.

While it is true that Delaware's
county and state politics are manag-
ed by representative and able men,
it is also true that the present sys-
tenn presents positive and alarming
checks upon the free discussion and
lust allotment of important issues.
Local and special legislation has be-
come the cloak under which the Leg
islature lodges to escape many an
important question of direct and vi
tai interest. Delaware's Legislative
cup is full to overhowing with the
abomination of special divorce bills,
petty road and charter acts, lumber
ING up the session with matter which
ought to be relgeated to county
courts and districts. Once free our
legislative halls of these out of place
minutiae, and proper local questions
will then have elbow room. This
"district representation" question
narrows to the following: as the pow
er of a subdivision of the State be-
comes more formidable, it comes less
in contact with the people. Under
what obligation to his district is a
representative who, defeated over
whelmingly in his own locality is yet
swept into office by the careless un-
questioning vote of the rest Of the
county? Is this not essentially max
inc the county the unit of Dela-
wares political system? Is this De-
mocracy pure and simple? There is
an under-current feeling at work,
even now, which shows that the peo-
pie are not satisfied with present
ways. 1t cropped out in the propos-
ed extension of representation to
the city of Wilmington as stated in
the constitutional amendment. 1t
was clearly seen by very many that
the special and growing interests of
Wilmington demanded 4 special rep
resentatiOn. That while it were
not advisable to carry the "basis of
population" idea to its most literal
extent, lest one city should rule the
State, it was true that Wilmington
had matters under advisement which
couldnot be properly legislated for,
unless by men nominated and elected
within its limits. This was a step
in the right path. But the principle
may be amplifed. Why cannot
every representative district, in every
county, present a like demand as
Wilmington? In the name of Justice,
why not give a Republican district
a Republican representative, and not
tread its influence under foot by the
crushing power of a one-sided county
vote? Said Carlyle, in 1867: "Our
aristocracy in their essential height
of position, will doubtless be con-
tinued further on trial and only the
stringent question put to them,
What are you good for, then? Show
us, show us, or else disappear" And
to the ears of the party rulers of
Delaware be they ever so wise and
able, is coming the rumbling of an
Independent movement, one of
whose demands will be "district re-
presentation"

In the case of the pestilence that
decimated the town Of Plymouth,
Pa. it was clearly shown that the
disease originated from the stream
which furnished the water supply OF
the town being contaminated by n
case of typhoid fever in a cabin on
its bank. In the town where well
water was used no typhoid appeared,
but where the hydrant water was
used the disease ragged horribly.
The Philadelphia Press comment
ing on the matter says:
6'rime and time again has the speci-
fic origin of typhoid fever been Illus
trated. 1t is a disease that never comes
sporadieallY. or by contagic@2 ,@ ;~bu but Is
aivs., 5 NV otrole to a poison introduced
into the system. This has been re-
Deatedly demonstrated in attacks i'll
families, in schools and in commune
ties. Sometimes the disease is con-
veyed through the milk OF infected
cattle, through contaminated water
or decaying animal or vegetable mat
ter confined within a dwelling. 1t is
an accepted fact that the disease never
appears without the specific cause"
These facts cannot be too strongly
impressed on the minds of every
householder. The disease will not
come without cause. As a general
thing it can be directly traced, as the
Press says, to the contamination OF
the water supply by bad drainage
imnroper location of cesspools, or to
the poisonous exhalations from de
caying animal or vegetable matter
especially the refuse of the human
body. confined in the dwelling. II
is awful to think of, that all the mis-
Aery, suffering and grief caused every
year by typhoid fever might be
avoided by proper sanitary care.
Now is the time to exercise this
care. To attempt to clean or move
drains in hot weather may bring Oh
the evil you hope to avoid. Clean
out, at once, the cellar and every
nook and corner about the house
where vegetable or animal refuse
might accumulate, see that there is
no possibility of surface water run
ming into the well. Prepare place
at some distance from the house
where all soap suds, and other house
slops can be thrown and occasion

A Duel to the Death.

Portland, Ore, April 25.-Yesterday a
very mysterious trsg dy was reported near
Lewiston, Idaho, which produces intense
excitement. Early this morning the
bodies of James Flynn and Peter Brazil,
neighbour g stock ranchers, living
short distance from Lewiston, were
found stone dead, both bodies lying
close together, with clubs aud
p stols along side. From the appearances
It would $. EN- that the men met prepared
for deadly encounter and fought until
death. The origin or cause of the sanguin-
airy fight is unknown. The nen are known
TO have been on friendly trims, and peacss-
bly, disposed. The author ties are making
a thorough Investigation OF the mys erious
tragedy. Brszil and Flynn were old resi-
dents of that part of Idaho.
