DOVER March Representative
Whiteman's anti Chicago Beef bill will
receive a send off to-day. The farmers OF

William c. Weir. John W. Day. Abram
Palmer, Edward Vernon, Lewis Dilworth,
Rev. T. R. Mcdowell, Egbert Klair,

ter, w Finn g W. Ely Thomas Hall,
Levi Tallev. William Cranston, W. f.
Tallev. Atwood Weldin. With the dele
cation was that eminent farmer, Charles
b. Lore, and also John Mutch Houston of
Sussex.
A meeting was held in the hall of the
House with Senator Crossan as chair
man. Joseph p Chandler was steering
the delegation and after few remarks
introduced Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell as the
first speaker, young man who never
raised pound of beef as the first
speaker. He made rambling address
upon the injury already done to the
farmer and displayed lamentable ignor-
ance Of the whole subject. Messrs Weir
and Walker made addresses next on the
injury done to the farmer. The
address Iof Mr.. Walker contained
number OF amusing features. For in
stance he said that Chicago beef had given
pleuro pneumonia. swelled neck and a
number of other diseases to persons who
ate 1t and no one could eat ii without be-
coming ILL., This was sad IN view Of the
fact that the entire delegation had taken
dinner at the Hotel Richardson, where
nothing but Chicago beef has been used
for years, and the doctors Of Mill Creek
and Christiana may expect to do a lively
business tomorrow. The star farmer Of
the occasion was reserved until the last
and the members and everybody else
were surprised when Mr. Chandler intro
duced Farmer Lore rs ''one of us.
Mr.. Lore opened by the entirely un-
necessary remarks, II am glad that my
friend Chandler has set me right IN in
Producing me not as a paid Attorney In
this case, but as one Of them under
stand that Messrs Swift and Aurmor say
faat they 10 not spend money but buy
lawyers and take very good care Of the
press. yes gentlemen take good of the
press. Mr.. Lore received fee from the
farmers for drawing the ill. Ed.
JOURNAL. Speaking of the remonstrance
he said that It had been secured by an
ex-constable and said that many people
had signed it without weighing its
Importance and declared with
two ex-constables and cash
he could secure 5000 names in favor Of
It. Thus intimating that the names of
some Of the femonstrants had been Sc
cured with cash, Notwithstanding the
facts that nearly all the lawyers, doctors
and merchants of the city are on the
remonstrance. He said in regard TO the
bills constitutionally, pass the bill and
then let the western beef men test its
constitutionality Here Is where Farmer
Lore win come In for nice fee for de.
Tending its constitutionality.
NEW BUSINESS.
No new business will be receiv ed after
Monday and in anticipation OF that
large number OF tentative titles were in
tr0duced yesterday and will be ON Mon
day. A large number Of the titles will be
ready for changes as soon as the bills ar
rive. The notices give some idea as to
the amount of business on hand and com
ing. The clerk was directed to-day to
prepare a calendar Of all bills and have IL
on the desks of the members by Monday
evening. Up to the present time there
have been introduced about 425 bills and
the total number will run up to 600, the
largest prospective business ever before
a session Of the General Assembly. There
is no doubt but that the session viii now
continue until May /, for it will take
three weeks TO clear up the work given
notice Of to-day. The session will double
in cost any previous session, a fitting re-
suit of electing Republican Legislature
The bill for printing aud stationery will
be enormous
VALUED POLICY BILL
The Senate passed the Valued Policy
bill this morning with en- emphatic aye.
Senator Richardson moved its adoption,
saying at the time: II am in favor of this
measure because it is an honest and fair
bill. | want it to stand upon its merits. I"
upon a call for the ayes and nays every
member voted for the bill. Senator
Richardson was congratulated ON every
side for his success. Representative
Biggs will take charge Of the bill in the
House and steer It to successful pas
sage. The members are decidedly in
favor Of the measure in the lower body,
a number Of them claiming that they
have been the victims Of unfair adjust
ments Of losses where they have had
property burned.
EIGHTH STREET RAILROAD.
The passage Of the Eighth Street
Railway Company's charter is liable to
TO several complications. The
company IS required to first obtain the
consent Of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment before they commence operations
and are prohibited from using steam 1t
is believed that this company can easily
obtain the right Of way from the Street
and Sewer Directors. The question that
arises, however, is can the Legislature
grant charter to incorporate a railway
company in the city of Wilmington when
they in 1854 granted the exclusive right
TO lay tracks to the City Railroad Com
panyl True, the action of one Legislature
is not binding upon another. but is not
of the action Of 1864 in the nature Of a
contract between the Legislature and the
City Railway Companyl These are nuts
for lawyers to crack and there is likl-
hood that the City Railway Company
will crack them.
