made ballot laws to protect the common
wealth from the man who will not per-
form chose plain and simple duties. The
state does not seek, It sccrns that class
of voters. The man who refuses from
ignorance, or from any more despicable
motives to bear the slight burden Of a
universal tax and to conform to the sim
pie requirements for the protection Of
the ballot against fraudulent voters. is
not worthy citizen. His vote and the
votes of all the members Of his class are
detrimental to the interests Of the peo-
and hostile to popular form Of govern
ment.
The facts in regard TO the vicious
scheme of the Republican managers to
obtain tax receipts to fit the 1900 extra
names enrolled as poll-taxables may be
evaded, but the decision Of the court In
the mandamus case is conclusive evil
dence that they cannot be successfully
denied Thus the Republican managers
stand arraigned before the commonwealth
for an attempt to commit wholesale bril-
berry, in the interest Of the minority fac
tion Of the Republican party in Delaware.
No amount Of recrimination Of Demo
Gratis, no charges Of fraud against Demo
cratic officials can relieve these managers
of the odium Of this attempt at whole
sale bribery
No matter how bad the Democrats are,
there can be no justification in politics,
or in morals. tor the corruption and brib.
cry by which the Republican managers
Of the minority faction have secured alb
solute control Of the negro vote.
The fact that they have control Of the
solid negro vote is in itself an evidence OF
fraud 1t would be impossible to control
this solid block Of ignorant voters other
wise than by lying, by chicanery and by
bribery.

The Mild Winter Weather on the sunny
Eastern Shore.
Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
KINGSTON, Md Jan. 1.-THE weather
here for the last six weeks has been de-
cidely spring like, so much so that the
trees, shrubs and flowers have ventured
out to ascertain whether all this warm
weather heralded the approach of spring.
The branches of the willow trees hang
full of catkins; fruit tree buds are al
most bursting; gooseberry and current
bushes have miniature leaves; rose
bushes are full of new shoots, and few
have even gone so far as TO send ont a
tiny bud; shrubs are fast coming ont
with here and there small white. vel.
low or red blossom. The strawberry
vines have been in full bloom and on
early vines the berry has been set. but
the frost of last Monday night blackened
them all. The farmers are tilling the
ground preparatory to planting corn AL
most all who have favorable ground have
their peas planted and some few have
them up and nicely started. Wheat
also feels the warmth and is. in some
places, three and four inches high.
The writer, while taking a walk ia the
garden few days ago, picked a pretty
bouquet, composed Of white spiria. pyrus
japonica, the common Japan ounce
mignonette, violets, English daisies. nv
acinths, rose buds. datfodils, fererfew
and dandelions, which was considered
quite a curiosity for this season of the
year. A bed Of heliotrope and gerani-
ums in the same garden, which were
blackened by the frosts of last fall, are
starting afresh from the roots, and two
large Chinese arbutilous have yet to
shed their leaves.
Il is feared that we will have a touch
of winter yet if so, it win cause late
spring and will also affect the strawberry
crop, as the vines are so far advanced.
There was sharp frost Yesterday
morning and much Of the tender. new
foliage on shrub and tree is withered and

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


Philadelphia Ledger
9'ae decision of Delaware's Superior
Court In the tax mandamus case is rather
indeterminate, although mandamus on
the tax collector was refused Republi-
cans and Democrats are about equally at
fault in this matter The Democrats
have been trying to keep Republicans
from qualifying themselves for the voting
privilege the Republicans have been try
ing to introduce the vicious system in
vogue in this city Of buying tax receipts,
to be given to voters and used as bribes
The Democratic tax receivers refused
to recognized the powers of attorney
held by the Republicans, hence
the application for a maudamus, which
the court has refused. The court, how
ever, declared that the collectors were
bound to receive the tax money offered
under power Of attorney, but were not
required to give receipt to any one save
the taxpayer himself Also, that man
could vote without a receipt II he could
show by witnesses that he had paid his
tax. Thus the door is opened for the
Republicans to pay taxes under powers
of attorney, while the Democrats are
given an opportunity to worry the voter
by requiring him to prove by witnesses
that he has paid his taxes.

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL
New CASTLE, Del, Jan. 1S.-On Mon
day evening at o'clock a meeting will
be held in the old Court House for the
purpose of effecting the organization of
musical society on q permanent basis.
Some OF the most prominent musicians
of the town are giving this matter their
personal attention, and the meeting on
Monday evening promises to be largely
attended. The society will be organized,
however, whether there are ten or 500
persons present. The gentlemen who
conceived this idea and proceeded to carry
1t into effect have canvassed among all
the musically-inclined in the city, and
have met with surprising success thus
far. Everybody who is in any way inter
ested In music or musical matters is
earnestly requested to be present on
Monday evening.
An exciting time, in every sense of the
word, at Hare Corner on Wednesday

Clouds, the drama which was to have
been presented in this city by local tai

perienced no trouble in getting together

not succeed in securing enough ladies
for the female part. Had he secured
three other ladies the drama would have
been ably presented. He could have Sc

Ia the breach Of promise suit of the
pretty music teacher, Miss Cammerer Of
Philadelphia, against the rich Clemens
Muller Of New York, the latter declared
yesterday that he was worth only
$50 600. and that his annual income was
$4,000 only
During the speech for the defendant,
Robert G. Ingersoll, attorney, said Il
cannot deny that there are some bad
things about this sase, very bad
It is not denied that Muller courted
and proposed marriage to the girl
while his wife was living. 1t is true
she was in an insane asylum. But he
was not divorced and his marriage with
Miss Cammerer would have been Illegal
On the witness stand Miss Cammerer
told straightforward, credible story
and confirmed it with amatory letters
from the defendant.
Her character has not been impeached,
and she appears to great advantage in
csurt as modest, self possessed, sincere
and intelligent young woman, whose
heart and hand any good man might be
proud to win.
Muller is rich, old and determined
looking His suit was ardent and per
sistent. His intent was to deceive the
girl into an Illegal marriage or to persuade
her TO live with him as his mistress
There was nothing in her character to
warrant him in the hope thar she would
be satisfied with either proposition.
Without going farther than this the
case is in the girls favor. But the de-
PENDANT denies everything, even against
the indubitable proof Of his own letters,
and then has the hardihood to assert that
he is worth $50, 600 only and that. his IN
come from that is only q per cent.
IN view Of the apparent untruthful-
ness and the admitted badness Of his
client. Colonel Ingersoll cannot expect 70
win his case. It would not be surprising
il the jury awarded the young woman
the entire amount Of her claim, $780,
000 But Of course that is exorbitant
Her affections. her character and her
prospects cannot be impaired TO the ex.
tent Of 100000, though the courtship,
the engagement and the notoriety it gave
4E9 modest young woman may have done
irnaparable injury.
Muller isone Of those ardent. wealthy
irresponsible and irrspressible old fools,
who ought to be put under restraint. He
should not have been allowed to run at
large. Since he was allowed liberty he
should be compelled to pay for the damage

Some excitement was created on Sew
enth street, between Market and King
streets, about 5 o'clock last evening. A
drunken man had been elected from
Smith d Murrays saloon. No. 6 East
Seventh street. He either did not like to
be the victim of the bouneer's skill, or
he had very strong wish to stay with his
friends on the inside of the saloon, for
after he tried the door.and found it locked,
he kicked panel out and smashed q
pane of glass. One of the proprietors Of
the saloon then came out and admins
tered sound thrasbing to the young
man which he is likely to remember. He
not only knocked him down but he also
kicked him almost into q state of insen-
sibility after he was down A friend of
the now thoroughly sobered and sub
dued young man hurried him away be-
fore the arrival Of the police.

MANAGERS IN nlseRAcE

The effort Of the Republicans managers
to control and bride the negro and the
factory voter by legal machinery has
failed and the managers are in discredit.
These managers are notorious for
methods and practices which are discred-
stable TO the Republican party. disgrace
full TO the commonwealth, and debasine
to the voters on whose ignorance OF
passions they exert baneful influence.
In the light of the unanimous refusal
of an bipartisan bench of able Judges To
grant authority to alleged attorneys to
pay poll-taxes and hold the certificates OF
the right Of suffrage for any number OF
nonresident voters it is unquestionable
that these managers had concocted q
scheme for wholesale bribery under the

The matter of purchasing or leasing

not discussed at the last meeting Of the
directors of the Wilmington City Railway
Company, but probably will be at a future
meeting.
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany Is contemplating putting electric
cars on the Market street and Delaware
avenue line. 1t would begin the work at
once II permission could be obtained from
the city to make the change. There
would probably be objection on the
ground OF the low overhead wires. The
company would prefer the storage bat
terry system, but it requires very heavy
and costly cars as at present operated.
1t is probable that arrangements will
soon be made TO extend the Riveryiew
electric line down Market street to
Eighth, point where transfers can be
made with less trouble and ANNOYANCE
for all three lines, than at present. This
arrangement would not interfere with
the present Market street line, the cars
