AS the charge has been reiterated
until it is accepted as fact, that delin-
quents of the Democratic party are
furnished with tax receipts to vote on
election days, and that at the primar-
les the factions in that party chal-
lenge and exclude such voters for fac
tional ends, why not have the Repub-
lican party act as an arbitrator 10 rec
tify the abuse; not only for party good,
but for public welfare. The delin-
quent lists should be obtained, and
when an individual on it that has
been returned and allowed to the col
lector by the Levy Court, is detected
voting upon tax receipt, let note
with witness of the act be kept, and
suit be afterwards instituted by the
county against the collector for the
amount Of the tax thus filched from
the treasury. No matter ifno money
was paid for the receipt; so far as the
county is concerned it has been robbed
to that extent, and the vote of a tax
payer neutralized thereby. The fact
OF the delinquent having the receipt
would be Prima .tacie evidence that
the collector had been allowed a credit
in his settlement for which lie was not
entitled. If little money was ex
pended in this direction in hunting
down such acts Of dishonesty, it would
do more practical good to the Republi-
can cause in Delaware than Tariff dis
cusslons.

VIM. Wilson, a brakeman on the Della
ware railroad, aged IS years, was badly
injured at Clayton on Thursday oflast week.
He was on his train when the accident oc-
Cured. It was dark and Wilson stuck his
head to the side of the train to look back
when his head struck against board which
protruded from a lumber car. The unfortu-
nate man was knocked of the train, but was
not missed until the train reached Dover.
Word was seat 10 Clayton, and Wilson was
found about O'Clock a mile from that sta
ton, wandering in a field. His face was hor-
ribly bruised and his skull was fractured di-
rectly on top and the pieces of bone crushed
into the brain. He was taken to Clayton
and his wounds dressed. after which he was
removed to his home in Wilmington, where
he has wife and a son thirteen years old
He formerly lived in Georgetown.
Robert H. West, veteran Of the late war
lies very close to the portals of death at the
residence of his son George on New street,
in Dover Mr.. West has a personal and family
record deserving of more than a passing
notice. Hewas born in Sussex county sew
enty-three years ago, and was one of a family
of thirteen children, all of whom reached a
ripe old age, the youngest dying at the age
of 81 years. Besides being noted for
longevity, the family was remarkable for the
size of its individual members, all of them
being far above the average in height and
weight, But it is the war record of the
family in which Delawareans will be
interested. At the first cali for
troops seven of the brothers responded
Robert H. enlisted in the Third Delaware,
from which he was discharged because of
physical disability. He returned home
to recuperate, and as soon as he regained
his health re-enlisted in the Third Delaware
Calvary, in which he served three years. In
the meantime four Of his sons enlisted one
of them being George, the present efficient
jauitor of the Dover post Office. Thus there
were at one time eleven members of this |
family in the service of their country-a
record it is doubtful if another family in the |
country can equal. Another point deserv-
ing of note, is the fact that not one of the |
members ofthis family received a cent of
bounty, and but two of them ever received |

Waldo M. Potter, OF the La Moure
Progress, prints an open letter to Gov
ernor PIERCE upon tx subject of proxy
government which the governor will
hardly be able to meet. The evils which
rest upon Dakota may be traced directly
to proxy representation and proxy
representation must always prevail
in territory or state as large az
Dakota is. So we can expect never to
escape the evils which beset us if our
present dimensions are retained. The
proxy will forever govern and will
grayirate to the poes assion
OF designing politicians as surely as the
opportunity is presented. MIR. Potter
calls the attention OF Governor Pierce TO
the late Aberdeen convention, an or
ganization ossensibiy antagonistio TO
politicians, in which seven OF the most
notorious politicians OF Dakota cast 1872
proxy votes. In this same convention
49a OF the 679 votes were cash by proxies

The following from the Minneapolis
Journal touches upon the real caues OF
the opposition to the division OF Dako.
ia in certain quarters:
Why Bismarck favors admission as
whole instead OF division is o standing
conuDdrum. The answers hare been
numerous but hardly satisfactory from
o disinterested point of view. A Bis
marck man who talked to Journal re-
porter to day, thinks he knows why and
tells whet he knows. The inference is
that the whole auestion OF division or
admission is based upon the location OF
the capital or capitals. III this be true,
congress can hardly be blamed for dis.
regarding the clamor OF Dakota foi
Justice. 1t is, Of ccurse, absurd to as.
Isnme that the capital question is at the
bottom OF the division controversy, but
it might be we'll for the people of Dako-
to to take look through other peoples
ispectacies. At would be- shameful te
have statehdpd delayed BY mere ioca
iealousies and quarrels. There ii
such thing % en- over reaching ambition
and several ambitious little Dakott
cities should remember it.
The assumption that the capital ques.
tion is at the bottom OF the division con
troyersy is not SO absurd AZ the Journa
supposes. There Was never any oppo
sition to division until the capital wa

AN EBlroR,s FUN.

Taken as Reality bP a Hfan Loeking for
Business Location.
Gov. Pierce IN the st. Paul Pioneer
Press: The Jolly editor told MS story
about his experience In Dakota which is
worth repeating:
After the war Major Adams was promi-
nent for some years in Iowa politics, but
finally determined to move to Dakota.
He settled in Day coanty, far from the
haunts of man, took up claim ana
built himself o cod shsnty. He was a
printer by trade and newspaper man
by instinct, aud having run q paper in
Iowa successfully, took printing outfit

to amusing himself getting out news

office and thirty. eight from O railroad, but
he issued paper filed with accounts
OF the occurrences which would ordinarily
take place 10 town of three or four
thousand. He described the firemen's
parade, the coneert by the band, lectures
by prominent people in the town hall,
church sociables and 80 on, drawing on
his Imagination and past experiences
indiscriminateiy. After printing a few
hundred copies OF these papers, the
major would driyo over to the postofIice
and mail tkem to various Offices In the
east and vest for general distribution.
One day the editor OF this strange sheet
was standing in front of his sod shanty
when he saw horse and buggy coming
across the prairie. As il drew nearer he
observed the figure OF man in the
buggy, and he noticed that every now
and then the vehicle stopped and the
man stood up in the buggy and looked
anxiously about him. This proceeding
was repeated as he approached ths
shack. and finally Adams made out the
man to be an elderly gentleman with
iron-gray whiskers, and evidently man
of business. At last he stood M on his
seat, shaded his eye with his hands and
scanned the horizon is every dIfeetion.
Then he sat down and drove TO tl,a and

populated Dakota. But for the sntag.
onsstio ambitions OF several south Dako-
ta towns the capital would not have re.
manned long as Bismarck In these
southern sntagonisms lice Bismarck q
strength. With the territory divided
the south would no longer be- factor in
the contest aud the capital of the north
would go TO the Red river country at
the first meeting OF the legislature. So
Bismarck only hope lies in aa uDdiv,-
ded territory or state. The Northern
Pacifio corporation, owning the land
upon which the Bismarck capitol
building is located and owning
much land contiguous thereto, sympa-
thizss with Biemarck in it's dire ex-
tremity and all ita influence is exercised
to prevent the division OF Dakota purely
for Bismarok's sake. The Northern Pa
cific dictates terms for all OF north Da-
kota. Hence we find the northern ma
iority solid for admission as whole ex-
ceptiDg in those counties where the in
fuence of the Manitoba railroad com-
pany oyereomes the influence OF the
Northern Pacific. Aberdeen has also an
ambition to become the capital OF all Of
Dakota and this ambition is used by the
Bismarck forces to strengthen their
cause. There is no thought OF catering
to the expectations OF Aberdeen, but il
is not arrange that the oonspirators will
use Aberdeen aa long as Aberdeen con-
senta to be used. Instead OF IN ebsurdity
il is fact that most OF the opposition to
the division of Dakota arises from q
local ambition TO retain capital.
