Tho "nela1garean,so Position.

The following is what John I. has
to say in the last is3ue of his paper
about the efforts tu harmOnlZe the fac
tional differences in his party:
"These propositions for peace were
first made by some Of the best repre-
sentative men of the party in each
county in the state This effort for
peace was hardly treated with decent
respect, and nothing came Of it. Sub
sequently, other gentlemen tried to
bring about an understanding or AN IL
greement by which the party could
enter the coming struggle for suprem-
acy in this state, united, and ready to
meet the common foe.
| "This effort did not cease until Il be-
| came patent to all interested in peace
| full settlement of our troubles, that
nothing could be accomplished because
of the attitude of some of the hot
headed, unreasonable unthinking men,
whe were instrumental i'm defeating
the party two years ago The think
ing and thoughtful Democrats are
greatly disappointed at the outcome
for the efforts to bury past differences
1t now looks rs though nothing can
be done or will be done to unite th,
party and save it from defeat. 1t seem,
now that the fight of two years ago
will be renewed, and that fight vii
only be ended at the polls in Novem
ber. All propositions for peace here
tOfore have emanated from those witt
whom we acted two years ago The-,
efforts have failed not because amy
thing unreasonable or unfair was askot
for or demanded They conceded cv
erything, granted everything, cXcep
to abandon principle: and even th,
f did not satisfy.
'These men will in all probabiHt.
make no further efforts for peace, Al
, propositions looking for peace in tn
party in the future, will have To com
: from the other side. They will uo,
prepare for tie struggle and 20 wit

SUSSEX county is having more liter
airy politics now to the Square foot
than it used to have to the square
mile, and if her voters are not we'll
informed on the questions at issue by
the end Of the campaign, it will be be-
cause they do not read and digest
what is furnished at their hand. For
merly it had only one or two papers
outside of Georgetown and it has not
been a decade that that town had more
than an apology for one-previous to
the removal of the Journal there and
the simultaneous establishing of the
Democrat. Now in addition to these
two paper both of which are Demo-
cratic IN politics, a third has settled
itself down to solid work, The SUSSEX
Republican, that is after the defalca-
tiOns and short cOmings of its appo-
nents with a search light. Heretofore
the Republicans have been without a
county organ, but in addition to this
one the Gazette of Laurel that had
been going along in an Indifferent Local
way with a democratic bias, suddenly
blOOmed out into a vigorous Republic
can paper indicating strong hand in
in its management. That part OF the
county has been a democratic strong
hold, and very naturally they were
not disposed to thus yield their ground
so we have with the coming in of Jun,
a large new paper called the SUISSE.

guards. Altogether things will b,
more lively in Sussex and in a differ
ent way, than has characterized thei

FROM the admission of the Delapdr-
can and from other political sources
the democratic party in Kent county
seems hopelessly divided into two hos
tile factions that all the efforts of
Harmony" committees have been un-
able to bring together. The Republi-
can party in Kent has heretofore been
characterized by the utmost harmony
but Senator Higgins, who was placed
in his exalted position by Kent votes,
now, aided by Adullamites, seems deter
mined to place the party in the same
condition of warning factions. Thus dc
parties and places change positions
Kent county used to be a stone wall
against the ambitions of men and the
assumptions of localities.

THE question of what shall we do
with the surplus in our treasury vaults
is not likely to be ringing one again
soon as it was year or two ago. Ths
Disability Pension bill which has been
agreed upon by the two houses of Con-
gress and will be signed by the Presi-
dent will fix that. The bill enrolls
some 250,000 more pensioners which
require from thirty to sixty millions
more or in connection with the present
expenditure some $175, 100000 per
annum. 1t is estimated that the cost
will be about So per capita or SIS per
family for the year.
Section 2. provides that all persons
who served three months or more in
the service of the United
States during the late war of the rebel
lion, have been honorably discharged

ing over an hour, and naturally and
charmingly presented. The title does
not convey its character other than a
laughable farce-the introduction of
staid English people to the free and

ways Of Western life. The dr0mdtjS
persona were, Misses Alice Spruance,
Flo Gootee and Name Heitshu, and
Messrs. VIII F. Clement and G.. b.

good time was spent. There was
quite a large gathering Of jolly peo.
pie to participate in the joyous Occa-

school and visitors.
1t was one Of the most successfully
conducted affairs ever witnessed, the
credit being largely due to the teacher,
Miss Walker, and also to Messrs.
Knots, Thomas, Sinex and Hurlock,
firm and Jealous supporters of the
school. The young folks participated
in MANY games which the lockers on
enioved Quite as we'll as themselves.
Eyerything was nicely arranged and

Everybody present enjoyed Them
