FROM many points in Delaware and
Maryland reports are made that the
peach crop has been greatly Over-esti-
mated. This is but natural after the
wild speculation INDUCED in that
name even twelve million baskets as
possible. In many places orchards
are yielding better than was at first
expected, while others in the same
neighbOrhoOd do not come up to the
estimate. 1t is possible that five mill
lion baskets will cover the crOp,which
should not break prices badly.
Milford chronicle., 1888-08-03

To THE people Of Delaware there is
one subject of more vital interest than
the discussion of tariff, prohibition or
political issues, and that one subject is
the calling of a Constitutional Con-
ventiOn. With the rant and lying Of
a political campaign this important
question is liable to be forgotten by
the people, and the politicians may
certainly be trusted to let 1t remain
unforgOtten; but if we mistake not the
men who are conscientious advocates
of radical changes in our fundamen-
tai law, the movement has come to
stay. Fair minded democrats cOncede
tnASchanges are necessary. That the
complete smoihering of the voice of
a minority is foreign TO a democratic
form of government That district
representation would be for the gen.
eral welfare Of Delaware, and both pO-
litical parties. That our school taxes
should be collected and disbuTsed by
the State treasurer with the school
fund; but after admitting all this, the
party lash rounds the fair-minded and
the demagogue on election day into
the ranks, and all hope for reform
vanishes. In the present campaign
this issue so far has been ignored by
the organs of democracy, aud unless
the people force this question, not
even a splinter of this important sub
iect will be incorporated into the
party platform. If Delaware's future
prosperity is desired, work by word
and deed for the cOnsummation of this
reform, and when it is brought about
a period of prosperity and economical
will open such as this
commonwealth has not witnessed in a
score of years.
