The Constitutional Convention of
the Territories seeking admission into
the Union of States are bringing their
worth to a conclusion.
South Dakota has adjourned, after
settling the limit Of iulol .4.ss per
mitted to the State at 100000 more
than the debt of the Territory. 1t also
decided to hold its State elections. not
IN the Off-years of national politics, but
IN the two years when members Of
Congress are chosen. It would have
been better to have kept State elections
as separate from national as possible.
Washington, like Montana, makes lis
Constitution begin with an acknow-
Judgement of Gods sovereignty. The
chief subjects of contest in the Con.
ventiOn have been proposals to place
severe restrictions upon railroads and
other eOrporotiOns. Under the Granger
decisions of the United States Supreme
Court there is no lack of power in the
State legislatures to deal with this
question, and therefore No need to thrust
it into the Constitution. Besides this,
the proposals actually made would
have been extremely injurious to the
development Of the new State, by
keeping corporations from undertaking.
business within its limits. They were
voted down.
Montana has adopted. perhaps, tn G
most sensible Constitution of any, 1t
undertakes to determine the policy Ol
the State on but few points, and leaves
the hands Of the people united. The
chief topic Of difference was the repre-
sentatiOn Of the counties in the legisla-
ture, and this was decided by giving
the Western counties each member,
whatever their population.
Idaho has completed the new Consti
tution under which it expects to apply
for admission, aEd is strongly anti
Mormon in its features. 4 still more
dubious provision is that which forbids
the teaching or reading Of the Bible in

THE New York Independent in dis
cussing the general business prospects
says:
Crop conditions, which are still re-
garded as the most important factor in
spite of industrial growth in the West
and south, are improving daily with
every prospect of fair crops at fair
prices. The most reliable estimates
place the new crop of wheat at 500, ,OOO,-
900 bushels. This makes the largest
crop since 1884, when the total was
5l2,O00,000. Last year gave short
crop, only 416,OOO,OOO, and September
wheat was then selling at S4 cents in
Chicago, while the price in that market
now is only about 76I cents. The
farmer is thus getting lower prices, but
is promised a larger crop and better
foreign demand than in 1888. Corn
prospects are less definite, tho there is
promise is a heavy crop and exports
continue liberal. September corn is
selling in Chicago at SO cents, against
46 cents year age. Coffee has ad l.
vanced under unfaVOrable crop advices.
and sugar continues unsettled by trust
operations.

The newest fad of general charac.
ter is the elixir which is said to have
such a wonderful effect in rejuvenating
the aged and feeble. The daily papers
are giving accounts from every part Ol
the country of its wonderful effects.
Monday, eight eminent physicians OF
Philadelphia had a practical test on
three or four subjects, getting the re.
juvenating fluid from a young ram, but
the effects reported in other places
were not realized. The New York
Tribune says:
Numerous experiments have al.
ready been made in various parts OF
this country with the alleged elixir
discovered by DR.. BrOwn-Sequard, and
the reported results so far have been
generally successful as regards appear
ances. 1t seems necessary to point out
however, that these experiments, if
described correctly, have thus far,
with but one published exception, been
made under conditions which render it
AAipOSSlDlO W uTtW trustworthy or QeI-
mite conclusions from their effects. In
a single instance the report states that
the patient did not know what was
being done to him, and possessed no
knowledge of the theory of the elixir.
If in such case the experiment sue
ceeded, the result might fairly be cred
tied to some virtue inherent in the de-
coctiOn injected into the circulation ;
but, in all cases where the subjects
were fully aware of the purposes of
the operator, the results are liable to
be controlled by the imagination, and
it must be impracticable to determine
what influence, or if any has been ex-
ercised by the elixir.
ut Was observed long ago by a great
physician that half the chronic inValids
alive at any time would be sound and
strong but for the defect of will power.
1t is not less certain that imagination
IS most powerful factor in the treat
ment of diseases of almost every kind
and especially all complaints of a ner-
vOus origin"

FOR the Smyrna Tim
ChesWOld.
Mr.. EDITOR

NJ hs ElJIIOhs
Our people watch with intense earn
estness the movements of the political
factions The prospective Bayard boom
for governor is causing considerable
comment among the Republicans. Dem
Ocrats are "gOing slow" in committing
themselves. They won't even talk
concerning this movement but there is
enough gathered from them to satisfy
one that there is yet some Salisbury
Democrats in this community and that
they do not favor the movement. Re-
publicans are all serene here, and it
matters but little to them what the
Democrats may do. But the Hon.
James Williams at the head of the
Democratic ticket would give it more
real solid strength than any other man.
And d. P. Barnard is looming up on
the other side and would make a strong
heading for the Republicans. He is no
ringster nor trickster nor politician.
He is simply and purely a Republican,
and is of that small class of whom one
likes better on better acquaintance.
At the last meeting of our town
council it was resolved to raise $45 by
taxation. To raise this small amount
the CapitatiOn tax was put at so cents,
thus showing the non-prOperty holders
that they were not sighted, as one-half
the tax is raised by the so cent capita
ton and the other half on the property.
Some of our citizens are wondering
whether or not it is entirely safe to
keep full board of property holders
in council. No doubt the matter will
be regenerated at the next town cleo
ton.
Our people are thoroughly disgusted
with the tramp arrest business" and
all eyes are upon the Levy Court to
see whether or not $4,000 will be paid
out for that fOOlishness again this year.

IT Is gratifying to know that the
turmoil over that $4,000 check in
Wilmington is ended by the Union
Bank paying it as directed by the City
Council to the Security, Trust and Safe
Deposit Company. The bank will
hardly put itself in such state of
recussancy again, whatever favor it
may have had from the legislature.

THE railroads will not feel the pro-
ductive energies of the peninsula this
year as was expected, owing to the
unexampled weather phases running
through the season. The freight from
peaches will not reach One-quarter what
they were led to expect in May, and
not exceed that of berries, which proved
so unremunerative to the growers.

PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES.

Ex-Governor Stockley, Harbeson
Hickman, Ebe Tunnel and r. A. Ro-
senbaum are said to be making "a boom
for Ebe for Congress. They spent last
Sunday at the Douglass House, Reho-
both, laying out the plans of the cam
paign. Congressman Pennington, who
is summering at RehObOth, is said to
be not averse to another term. He
has tried to represent his State faith
fully and well, and as Civil Service is
the cry just at this time, the friends of
the Congressman do not see why he
should be left out just as he is learn
ing how to do the work. The Con-
gresham is at work for the Fifth and
Sixth Regiments Delaware Volunteers.
trying to get them their pay. If he
succeeds, that will be big boom for
him, as about $4,000 men are interest
ed in the matter While these Sussex
County statesman are fixing up the
Tunnel boom. they will do well to
keep their eye upon CONGRESSMAN PEN
ingtOn. He does not propose to be
left in the race ifstanding bv his con-
stituents will win it. Just how John
Il. NicholsOn's and Gen. r. Il. Ken
ney's friends look upon this boom of
Tunnels, is not known. Lewis Cass
Vandegrift is thought to be working
with the Stockley crowd, with the
promise that if Tunnel cannot make
the nomination, he is to be their resid-
uary legatee. The very sands at Re-
hOboth are said to be alive with polit-
ical plans.

WHAT sURsEx DEMOCRATS WANT.
Sussex Journal
There is one thing that the rains
have not quenched in Sussex county
and that is the desire for u COnstitu-
tional Convention. This desire will
stand firm amid the ruin of crops and
the wreck of parties. 1t has obtained
deep root in the hearts of the people
and it will grow until it bears fruit in
a new Constitution. Other crops may
fail, but the seed that were sown in the
fall of '87, when over $4,000 voters sig
nified their desire for a Constitutional
Convention are bound to bring their
increase. Then let our people get
ready for the harvest, so that its full
advantages may be reaped by the
present and future generations.

THE TRAMP TAX.

Milford Chronicle.
1t is a burning shame that the tax
payers of Kent county are annually
robbed of several thousand dollars on
account of tramps arrested and placed
in Dover Jail. If the money went to
the tramps the people would feel that
it was in a measure charity but it
don't. 1t goes to the sheriff and other
officers interested, and we hope the
Levy Court will, at its next session, sit
down heavy on this class Of claims
against the county. This is is one
more reason why Delaware needs a
wOrkhOuse.

Prospects of this Years Fruit Pack

Owing to the dullness in the trade
last winter and the present bad season,
the quantity of fruit and vegetables
packed this year will not, it is said.
amount to last years pack by One-half.
Green peas, for instance, were cut
short by rainy weather, and there will
not be twO-thirds of an average crop.
Early in the season it looked as if there
would be a good crop of berries, but all
have turned out bad except the rasp-
berry. Raspberries are never packed
to large extent, but this year the
quantity put up will be comparatively
large. The acreage put in corn in
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
will not reach one-half of that of last
year, and one. third of the crop has
been destroyed by the weather. This
will not greatly affect the pack, how
ever, for there has been glut in the
Market and it does not now nav to
pack corn. The majority of the farm
ers had only planted what they needed
as the price of the canned article at
the time of planting was below cost.
The acreage planted in tomatoes is
about the same as last year, but the
crop has been affected. Of peaches
the packers will not get near what is
wanted, and they are now paving
81 .25 per box for fruit that ought to be
only worth Is cents. The indications
are that the crop supply will end
sooner than usual. Delaware will not
have 25 per cent. of an average crop
this year, and the upper portion of the
peach district is in about the same sit
uatiOn. The bulk of the peaches will
be drawn from Southern MARYLAND
and Virginia, and the peach pack will
not be half as large as last year. The
old stock of peaches on hand have ad
vanced in price considerably, owing to
a greater part of the new fruit being
watery. One of the causes for the de.
preston of the packing business this
year is that the National Association
of Wholesale Grocers held a meeting
last spring in New York and resolved
to buy no futures in canned goods.
The consequence is that prices of
spot" goods are naturally weak, with
the result that not enough goods will
be packed this season to supply the
probable demand within the ensuing
year, as the majority of the packers
have not the means to carry the goods.
