The total cases have been about $500

THE ASSESSMENT LAWS.

Here in Delaware we are called unon
70 vote for President, and how are we
hXed In this county alone 5000 citi-
zens are disfranchised When thew an
Piled to the assessors at the citv hall
they met with the most INSCRIPTIONS
opposition. In this the assessors were
assisted by the chief of police and his
officers in the most scandalous manner
insulting reputable citizens who went
there to aid in the work and ADMITTING
Democrats through the back doo~
L men they went to the levy court. from
which body better things were exnect-
ed, but met with even worse treatment
And thus it is that 5000 citizens of this
county are stripped of their dearest
Tlghts. And when l think ofthis great
wrong say this: They have not robbed
US or broken into our houses at night with
intent to commit felony, or taken our
personal property, but when I compare
tne magnitude of their theft with that
OF the burglar or the thief, the prepon-
deranee of my respect goes with the
burglar and the thief. IGreat nm
plause. There are men in the levy
court who have enjoyed the respect Of
the community, but they deserve it no
longer. If public opinion can condone
crimes like this, then we have lost the
last vestige of freedom. IGreat an
plause "p-
But more than this. When the Dem
oerats gained control of this county. in
1870, there was no debt. Now the
county has a debt of $573, 300. and what
Is there to show for it? Only the court
mouse, which cost less than SlOO 900.
and which ought to have been paid for
long ago, and an almshouse which is a
palace for paupers. Applause. 1 do
not know the cost of maintaining our
paupers, but am very sure that had
the aimshouse not been built, we would
have saved money by keeping them at
the Continental Hotel. [Great ap-
plause.

WAS THERE THEFT?

We want to get at the books. have
good reason to believe that much of this
money has been stolen. Why did such
honorable citizens as Columbus Wat
kins, Nathaniel Williams aud James
Bradford, retire from the board of trus-
tees of the poor?
Then, there is our city debt of 81 ,444,-
262, and aside from the water works
and our undeveloped parks, what is
there to show for it? Look at your
streets. Successive proaigate city
councils steadily refused to levy enough
taxes, and every two years went to the
Legislature and had loan authorized
to fund the floating debt. At last the
people rebelled, and the system of
commissions was inaugurated, and the
people are now protected from the ras-
Gals.
The same corrupt influences went
further and attempted to control the
commissions, the members of which
are appointed by the mayor. But the
election of a Republican Mayor,
through fortunate schism in the Dem
ocratic party prevented this.
Who have the Democrats nominated
for assessors2 The very men who are
responsible for the city hall outrages
And who is their candidate for levy
eourt2 The man who, as a member Of |
the court calmly sat back and looked |
upon the work Of the assessors.
If a man cannot cast his ballot in per-

resides, It is not a free state. Our in

State from the influence Of these laws.

About Tramps.

With regard to what has already
been said about tramps, we would
supplement it by the following ex-
cerpts from the Code of Tennessee.
Section 22S3.-It shall be a misde-
meanor for any person having no ap-
parent means of subsistence, to neg
lect to apply himself or herself to
some honest calling; for any per-
son to be sound lettering about sa.
looms or dramshops, gambling houses,
or houses of i'll fame, or tramping or
strolling through the country without
any visible means of support.
Section 22S4.-Any person found
guilty of any Of these offences shall
be fined not less than So nor more
than $25, or shall be imprisoned in
the county work-house for not less
than 10 days nor more than II months
at the discretion of the court.

On next Friday night Stewart Soci-
ETY. will hold her Nashville orator
and declamatory contests.
Blackburn was presiding officer
last night.
The usual declamatory exercises
were held in chapel this morning.
Shaw delivered the speech on which
he took the declaimer's medal last
year. Rice delivered the grafton
which he spoke at Nashville. We
all wonder how he could have missed
the medal there. Baby Craig spoke
for the first time since he has been
here.
Among the successful men of last
night Patterson, Haden and Stewart
are S. A. E's. Wells is Pi Kappa
Alpha.

THRRE has been considerable ex.
element near Smithland, KY, over
the discovery Of what is said to be a
vein of silver ore. While boring for
natural gas on farm the drill struck
the supposed ore at a depth of be-
tween 750 and 800 feet. State Senator
Kendall, who is one of the stock
holders in the enterprise, has taken
specimens of the ore for analysis.
The existenceof silver in Livingston
county has been claimed for half a
century, and several mines have been
worked on the Cumberland river,
but the ore was not rich enough to be
profitable. 1t is said, however, that
the specimens recently taken out in
dictate profitable vein.

"Abstention from planting much, il

here as at the West, what is left OF
the 1886 crop acting in the main as a
heavy weight at the present time all
round. If by holding off for single
season planters can get for their 1888
crop double the price it will realize
under existing circumstances, which
seems probable, abstention appears to
be the policy to- be pursued. The ex-

In considering the recent defeat Of
the Democratic party, the question is
viewed very differently by different
persons. The Democratic politicians
BOOK upon it as a serious loss on
account of the official patronage the
Democrats would have had if the
party had been successful, while the
the Democratic statesmen look upon
the defeat as one of principle, and
that the Democratic party is deprived
of successfully pressing the reform
measures which it advocated, and
they look upon the loss of patronage
as secondary and as only incidental
to the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland. One
of the secrets of, the success of the
Republicans was that however err
roneous in fact the statement was,
they endeavored to link with the re-
duction of the tariff a corresponding
reduction of the wages of laboring
men,, The most effective notices
upon their banners, which were ever
held up before the eyes Of the labor
ing men, were, High tariff, high
wages. Low tariff low wages"
whereas, these notices would have
been more truthfully worded, thusly:
"Tariffis tax. High tariff, or tax, is
a burden. Low tariff is less burden
some" High tariff, low wages"
Glow tariff high wages" This is as
viewed from "a Democratic stand
point, and is a question of political
economy which the student has four
years to mediate upon. a-.3,J etoo,

CANADIAN coPARTNERsHIP.

John Sherman and other promi-
nent Republican Statesmen arespeak-
ing in favor of annexing Canada to
the U. s. They see In it manifest
destiny and the ready solution Of the
commercial difficulties constantly
arising between the two countries.
1t is'said that the proposition grad
ualiy Increases in favor on both sides
OF the line as you go West and reaches
the proportions Of violent clamor
from the people Ia Manitoba. The
endorsement of the South is counted
on for annexation, the reasons as
signed being the constitutional pride
which the Southern people have
heretofore taken in schemes for terri
torial extension even if it be at the
Northern end of the country. Such
undoubtedly has been the case in
times past, and the nation owes the
vast domain West of the Mississippi
10 the dominance of Southern ideas
Of policy but the country is already
so enormous in its scope and the COM
ditions haveso changed, that tits very
questionable whether the South,
would now favor the annexation of
any more territory in any direction
that would add still more to. the pre-
ponderance OF a sectional spirit that
over-balances and threatens the ex-
pansion Of Southern interests. We
want to see whether there isn't cat
in that meal tub before we venture to
east our influences in it., a, .o
