The state convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union is now in
session at Middletowa and it will con
slider, among other important business
the best means of organizing the state in
the interest 81 the prohibition Of the sale
of intoxicants. The address Of IFS presi.
dent Miss Magaret lIilles, viii be found
in full iu these columns to-day II is a
vigorous and practical presen tation Of
the work, the prospects and the hopes Of
this powerful and benedcent
organization. She makes strong ref
erence TO the persistent and
repreheusible refusal Of the Legislature
of the state to permit the people to pass
Judgment upon the great issue by means
Of the ballot, and she suggests chat it
will be possible by and by u
consolidate the representatives Of the
two lower counties in favor Of local op-
tion measure. even though the repre-.
sentatives from this county shall be op-
posed TO it.
This expectation may be realized, but
we doubt that It will be necessary tc
solidify Kent and Sussex against
New Castle by the time ma
iority Of tho General Assembly Of the
State Of Delaware gets ready to enact .
local option law. It strikes rs that every
body, the women no less than th'
men, should bend all their cner
gies to secure constitutional r
form With that attained there vii
be no trouble to get hearing fof
the people on any question that affects
their interests SO vitality as intenper
ance does Indeed, while the present con
stitution prevails there is constan
peril that the courts may defea
any proposition for popula
vote on the sale Of liquor proyide
by the General Assembly. The new con
stitution will be made for the people an
not against them as is the present amt
quatod instrument When the basis O
our laws shall be right and just there vii
be no trouble 20 secure whatever legisls
tion is needed for the amelioration Of til
condition Of the people,
We heartily grant the necessity of
greater restriction OF the sale Of intox
cants. We believe in tho principle al

insist that there is a greater question b

this question Of intemperance Thu

length on the needs of the state as well
as Of the benefits Of the protective tariff
to this community He brought forth re-
peated applause when he spoke Of local
reforms. The statement that Sussex
county could save So, 800 annually under
system Of elective and salaried county
omuars was especially telling. At the con

out with biting sarcasm to an edi-
torial in the Delaware Democrat, which

limbs were perfectly limp. and he was

guess its age accurately. but reckoned il
somewhere between 20 600 and 80. O00
years This toad was tired Of living in
the days before Adam got tired Of living
alone in Eden and il / Just possible lie
heard the rain come down during the
food.
