Subscription Laws.

For the information of few subscribers
to the WArcHMAN we print the following
compilation of the decisions of the United
States court on this subject:
First.-Subscriber who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are considered
as wishing to renew their subscriptions.
lSecond-If subscribers order the discon
tinuance OF their periodicals the publishers
may continue to send them until all arrear-
ages are paid.
Third--If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the post-offce to
which they are directed they are respon-
sible until they have settled their bills and
ordered them discontinued
FOurth-If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
Fifth-The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the office or
removing and leaving them uncalled for is
primd fdcie evidence of intentional fraud.
Sirth.-If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the end of
the time, if they do not wish to continue
taking 1t; otherwise the puDllsher Is autnor-
lied to send it, and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice, with
payment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
The latest post laws are such that news
paper publishers can arrest any one for
fraud who takes paper and refuses to pay
for it. Under this law the man who allows

srders the postmaster to mark it refused. ="

Obituary..

SUMNER.-On Saturday evening December
IA, the citizens of East Calais We're greatly
shocked by the sudden death of Mrs. Mary
w. Sumner, an old-time resident of that
place. She appeared to be in her usual
health until about nine o'clock, when she
showed signs of illness. Her daughter went
to her and gave her some drink. She talked
as usual, but seemed pressed for breath.
She gently raised her head and instantly
expired. Neighbors were called, but too
late. Her Oldest son, who resides in Bos-
ton, and her youngest son, who resides in
Duncannon, Penn, arrived in time for the
last sad rites to fond, devoted and loving
mother. Mrs. Sumner was born March "a
1908, at Starksboro. She came to Marsh
field in 1911, thence to East Calais in 1819
where she afterward married II. s. Sumner
of Boston, Mass. Residing awhile at Plain
field and Cabot, she finally returned to
East Calais, where she resided until her
death. Her husband died October 26, 1881.
Besides the two sons, the daughter with
whom she lived and another at Marshfield
survive her. She was an active member of
the Methodist Episcopal church for many
years. In her death the people of this COM
munity have lost a good neighbor and a
kind, Christian friend.
She now resides among the blest,
No brighter star e'er shone;
Weep not for her, she's at her rest
In yon blue heavens bright dome.

ronage from many of the best-dressed gen
tlemen in the state. He has carefully-se-
lected stock of fine English woolens COM
prising the latest styles and newest designs
of the English markets. His cutting de-

Stohhoefer & Son of New York city. He
has the reputation of being one of the best
garment-cutters of New York. Mr.. Denny
therefore feels assured that he can give his
customers entire satisfaction in every re-
spect--in style, fit and comfort. The work
manship of his garments is the finest. One
of his special features for this season is his

AT one time or another every man in
the Republican party who pretended
to have any knowledge of political
economy has admitted that the tariff
should be revised. 1t is a fallacy Of
MODERN degenerate, commercial Repub-
licanism that the tariff is fetch to be
worshipped but not to be touched II
is within the last ten years only that
the fallacies Of imposing a tariff
for wages and for the protection of the
American workingman have been adyo-
Gated Those pleas have been after
thoughts propounded by the fertile brains
of members of those industries who wished
TO preserve duties for which all other
pleas were obsolete or too obviously false
Those pleas have been invented when
pleas Of diversified industry ''infant
industry, and revenue had been demon
demonstrated TO be false. II

the manufacturers and tariff bene.

expecting to obtain full and liberal in

strange to have this declaration from
Senator Sherman:
do not deny that there is a proprietl
in revision of the tariff laws
Changes of the relative value of articles
compel frequent revision of the rate
/ Of duties, and such revision was en-
tered upon by the Senate of the unites
States at its last session. IL Is not re
vision of The tariff that ! object to, but
revision of the tariff in line Of fre
trade.
Stated in other wo rds, but having pre-
clsely the same effect, that is the Mill
bill The Mills bill proposed to redue
the average rate Of duty from AZ to 4
per cent No candid man could sa
truthfully or honestly that per cen
revision was in the line Of free trade. "
Senator Sherman opposed that bill an
some Of his less scrupulous and mol
ignorant party associates said that sue
measure was advocated by those WI

OF the great parties are fully represented.
Such has never been the case here.
Every Evening as newspaper, as an In
fuen'ial organ, political. moral
or financial, is almost nil. Its
only political victory was the
assistance it gave to the election Of a
Republican Mayor, and that was only par
TALLY due to the Every Evening. Itnever
won moral victory. 1t did not dare to
attack Judge Cummins and drive him
from the bench he was disgracing, but
left that duty for the EVENING JOURNAL.
Thus 1t appears that the Every Evening
has been maintaining the position of
political guerrilla or free booter. II
has not acknowledged any political,
moral or local ties. 1t has not shown
sufficient editorial ability to be indepen-
dent 1t is not potent or useful In Will
mington and it is unknown outside of
Wilmington. Its motives of independ-
ence are not political, not moral and not
open. They are not justified by intrin
sic merit, by results, or by the local
situation. They are to be accounted fol
only on grounds which make :
newspaper not only worthless
to the community on which it preys, but
positively harmful The paper is al
anomaly and its course Is anomalous
They are inexplicable on grounds worthy

In the course Of some remarks on the
Democratic situation in Delaware the
Middletown Transcript says
Old issues and prejudices are not, in
themselves, sufficient to bring victory.
A policy must be outlined, which shall
commend itself to the politically disin-
terested voter as one, which will bring a
better administration of public affairs.
One, ia which such voter will see the
possibility Of having men of the best
business ability, and highest integrity,
placed in the control Of public affairs
When the voter, whose only desire II
TO have the best Government possible,
for the least money, is offered policy
which will come nearest TO doing this
then he will have something which vii
excite his interest and enthusiasm. The
policy Of the Republican party since itf
accidental success, has shown that its
only desire is the loeves and fishes. The
time has now arrived when the people,
who are not politicians, want something
else. They want the politics Of the state
so conducted as TO result in substantial
good to the citizens of the state and not
conducted with an eye single to thu
emoluments Of Office.
This is one Of the many evidences that
the Democratic party in Delaware !
united, harmonious and anxious to shoy
in convention and at the polls that tn
reports Of dissensions are ghosts anc
bug-bears to scare the timid and to fur
nish the Republicans with pleas to OBJ
tain doodle from abroad
