TWO STRONG POLITICAL FORCES.
The letter from "A Kent County
Voter, which we publish in another
column to-day is significant in that It dis
closes at once two very powerful and pop
ular influences now operating against Mr..
Massey's Senatorial aspirations. The
opposition to the railrond company which
he represents-and this does not merely
include the agricultural forces of the
state, but the mercantile, manufacturing
and maritime interests as WELLS
the stronger Of the two, but the politician
of either party viii not overlook the fact
that the party orkers in Kent are quite
as much disturbed over the matter as the
grangers and boat builders, although for
very different reasons. The letter ex.
plains itself and is well worth studying
over.
"a Kent County Voter" is surprised
that the people of Lewes should be sub.
mitting so tamely TO the closing Of their
port by the Pennsylvania Company. But
the people Of Lewes are not indifferent
On the contrary they have organized a
company already for the establishment of
a boat line to Philadelphia. They are
biding their time now in wrath and i'll.
concealed impatience until the Chinco-
league canal shall be completed The
people OF Eastern Sussex county, with
out respect to occupation or partisanship
are a unit in demo uncing what they term
the indifference Of Delawares represen-
tatives in letting all the appropriations
for the now canal to be expended at the
lower or Maryland end Of the project
They see and admit with indignation
that this is all due to the greater per
.sistence and industry Of the representa-
tives Of Maryland, who, although as good
Democrats as the representatives of Del
aware are, have nevertheless no scruples
as TO internal improvements.
We saw it stated recently that many
Of the efforts made to get appropriations
for Delaware had been thwarted by Sen
ator Salisbury The facts are against
this statement. The people Of Whining
ton know that Mr. Charles b. Lore was
instrumental in getting us the appropria-
tion for the proposed post office building
aRd he was not opposed in that WORK BY
Senator Salisbury. Again, Dover has a
new post Office. An appropriation is under
way for similar building at Smyrna
for which Senator Salisbury deserves
the greater share of the credit Duck
Creek has an appropriation .and so
have several other streams in the lower
end of the state We have it moreover
from the mouth OF several re
sponsible gentlemen Of Milford
that the Mispillion Creek could
have had federal aid for years, If the
leading Democrats Of that town had been
willing that this aid should come through
Senator Salisbury. Appropriations FOR
the Mlspillion were prevented at the in
stigation of leading and ofiice-holding
Democrats at Milford, because they feared
that such appropriations would make Mr..
Salisbury too popular in that part Of the
state for their purposes. Well informed
men ia the lower counties know that
Senator Salisbury largely overcame his
scruples against internal improvements
by his constantly gro owing interest in the
welfare Of his state and constituents.

PHILADELPHIA. Friday. Dec. .. 1887.
Frae Glasgow straight. First
of the Gingham clan for the
new season. Out of the Gus
tom House yesterday, on the
counter bright and early this
morning.
AS neatly pretty as ever
Ginghams were, and almost
every piece a novelty. Gauze
effects and Damasks are new
est of the newest. You never
saw the like in cotton so
dainty, SO handsome, and yet
with every Gingham goodness
behind them.
Best Scotch Gingham Who
can say more You know the
cotton and the spinning and
the weaving and the dying
are right. Those canny crafts
men chance nothing on either.
You needn't finger a fibre.
The only thing to be looked
to is looks.
If we could only hold a
piece up in the papers for
you Can't. Too like the
flashes from prism, or a sun
checkered lane streaked with
splintered rainbow. Think
of such thing on cotton!
You'll doubt if some of it is
cotton. AS satiny as if silk
worm certificate went with
each stripe.
These are some of the sorts:
Satin Striped Zephyrs
Fine Striped Zephyrs
Plaid Zephyrs
Gauze Check Zephyrs
Gauze Stripe Zephyrs
Bordered Zephyrs
Knotted Stripe Zephyrs
Knotted Border Zephyrs
Damask Zephyrs
Dull enough in print You
wouldn't suspect a beauty hid
den by either. Take the Dam
asks. Curley-cues and branch
bits and finger-long stems
flower-loaded, wind-tossed on
half-a-dozen modest grounds,
just as you see them on the
finest linens.
So of the Gauze effects.
Your wonder at the weave
will keep step with your sur
prise at what the dye has done.
terra Gotta moss green
old rose reseda
serpent
These are some of the shades
new to Ginghams, and they
get into rarely pretty combina-
tions with themselves and with
tints you expect.
35 to 90 cents a yard.
More and more north-of-
Tweed Ginghams are swarming
over. You can catch spirit of
all from this hiving.
