The question Of the new Tariff, that
has been the bone of contention be-
tween the opposing Statesmen in Con-
gress is nearing a practical solution,
having passed both houses and being
now in the hands Of a conference com.
mittee to adjust the points on which
they differed.
The bill passed the Senate by a strict
party vote. Every Republican Sena
tor voted for it despite the strong
thrusts at the measure by Republican
Senators, and every Democratic Sena-
tor voted against it. There we're sew
eral pairs, but all the Senators are OF
record for or against the bill.
There is now little doubt that thu
bill, as finally shaped in conference,
committee, will pass both branches il
with party lines sharply drawn on it
and thus the great issue of 1892 will b.
clearly and unchangeably defined.

The heavy ordnance of both parties
in the Delaware campaign have been
put in position for the battle by the Sc
lection of the gubernatorial and Con-
gressional candidates. The redOubts
will soon be manned. The Demo.
cratic ticket for New Castle County
was brought to the front on Saturday
last and the republican ticket will be
next Saturday.
The democratic ticket was brought
out for Sussex yesterday and the Re
publican will be on the 23rd. Ken
will close in the line with the republi
can ticket on Thursday Oath, and th'
democrats on the SOth; the last day 0
September. There will only be fv,
weeks for display of maneuvers ant
and tactics before the final and decis
i've charge.

AT the last session of the Legisla-
ture, in the framing of bill in relation
to Convention and a new COnstitu-
ton, some of the leading lawyers
held that it could be called on the
vote of 1887, Mr.. Smithers opposing,
interpreting the mode laid down in the
organized act differently. Still hold
ing to this view, in drafting the resOlu-
tions for the Republican State Conven-
tion last week at Dover he wrote them
so as to demand that the Convention
shall be called during 1891, meaning
that the election shall be ordered at
the next session of the legislature, and
the convention called at an adjourned
or special session in the same year, and
thus the resolution was unanimously
adopted by the Convention.

hours, and it was getting on to bed
time before all the wagons got weigh
ed, unloaded and homeward bound.
One team at the McGaw factory that
was observed in the line at II o'clock
as far off as the stand-pipe, did not
reach the scales and get unloaded until
five O'Clock. 1t was found in hand
ling the fruit on Saturday, that some
of the growers in their eagerness to
avoid possible contingencies of loss by
the weather &C., had picked their to-
matoes too green for profitable canning
and this too when they knew the lat
ter were likely to meet with a loss
from the large quantity on hand.
The Gamers notwitL standing their
best efforts to catch up on Saturday
found large piles on their hands at
night-McGaw about 5000 and Hof-
fecker 1900 baskets.
The cloudy, rainy weather some
what checked the ripening and the
heavy rain on Monday morning es-
pecially checked the picking, and Mon
day night found the old stock worked
up at both factories, with hardly halt
the usual quantity brought in. Tues
day morning as early AS six o'clock
the teams were.gOing through town in
regular procession, rs if there had
been concerted effort for this early
movement on the factories.
The immense crop has placed the
Gamers in another predicament, that
is. the short can supply. They had
provided the number supposed to bt
needed, but with may this is al
ready exhausted, and cans have thii
month gone up to about double tn,
price, and the demand cannot be filled
Our Gamers have been fortunate in Sc
curing lot in Iowa where first from
drought and then from frost, the crol
was a virtual failure.

The interest of the Messrs Tygert
having ceased in property in this town
and vicinity it became necessary for a
reorganization of the company, which
was done on the 10Th inst. by electing
John H. Hoffecker President, instead
of ]. E. Tygert, and he and Geo. H.
Raymond directors in the places of ].
E. and H. s. Tygert. It is the inten-
ton to localize the holdings of stock
and make the steamboat company a
home matter. To this end it is desired
that all, who have the conHnuation OF
good means of communication by
water from this town to Philadelphia
should cooperate and use their inau-
ence to patrOnize the company and
thus add to its business. That the Z.
& S. T. Co., has been a great benefit to
our town no one will deny and it is
hoped thatNnow it is controlled at home
that all who have any desire to see it
made permanency will unite and use
their efforts in that direction.

AFTER much delay the long and
vexed question of the location for the
Worlds Columbian Exposition has

tural products, to be seen, inspected
and admired by the people of all ma

lake shore about six and One-half miles
south from the Court House, or centre

The question of reciprocity of trade
as a substitute for high tariff is very
naturally receiving a great deal of at
tentiOn from thinking men at this time.
1t ought at least satisfy as an entering
wedge those opposed to high and pro-
hibitory tariffs. In two weeks time
from the date it was launched forth in
Mr.. Blaine's speech it had passed the
Senate as an amendment to the Nc
Kinley bill offered by Senator Aldrich,
and awaits the sanction of the House
through its Conference Committee. The
Philadelphia Press has canvassrd til,
House on the measure, and iuds d
preponderance of opinion among the
members in favSr of reciprocity. 1t
says:
This is sufficiently emphatic to war
rant the prediction that the Senate
reciprocity amendment will be an.
proved by the House of Representa-
tiyes.
As scope of the proposal becomes
better understood it is certain to find
even greater favor. Those who regard
reciprocity as simply another name for
free trade will see that, even 80 consid-
0ring there is no objection to it. There is
no Protectionist that we know of who
disapproves of trif bill having free
list of articles not produced here.
Every ProtectiOnist is free trader to
that extent. 1t is to the free list, and
not to the revenue list, that the AL.
drich amendment applies. The House
put crude:sugar and hides, and long
ago Congress put tea and coffee, en- the
free hist without exactng any conces-
sions In return from the countries sup
plying as with those articles. The
Senate proposes the Aldrich amend
ment to change this, not by enlarging
the free list or Interesting in the least
with our protected industries, but by
enacting q valuable consideration for
the immunity from the duty which II
is proposed that raw sugar, molasses,
and hides, as we'll as tea and coffee
shall enjoy. No one who is willing
that these articles shall remain on the
free list can object to reciprocity on
them from the stand point of pro.
teetion.
Those who claim that there is nc
available trade to be secured in this
way only betray their ignorance of the
subject. Let them look up the tables
ofimports and exports before making
statements 50 foolish and wide Of the
mark. We purchased from Brazi
alonelsst year 953,z10OO0 worth o
goods, but sold her only 81, ,063, 900. Sh,

The Steam Whistle .

New York World
Every man who has enough capital
to buy steam whistle seems to have
rights above those enjoyed by his fell
low men, because the whistle is at.
tached to some industry which we are
fond of fostering. He may destroy the
sleep of old age, the repose of the
weary, and may endanger the lives of
invalids, but his little industry must
not be disturbed. This is all wrong.
The steam whistle must go. We want
our industries preserved, but we want
them in conjunction with peace, health
and quiet. 1t is time we grew beyond
the era of painting advertisements on
natural scenery, or of clOuding the at
mOsphere with softcOal smoke, or OF
drowning the songs Of binds or mur.
dering sleep with the screams of whis
ties. 1t is an entirely unnecessary
noise, and an unnecessary noise is /
nuisance.

Cutting A6rGy in Kent.-A serious
affray toook place at Lynch's, Kent
county, on Friday. Mr.. James C. Sut-
ton, respectable citizen of about go.
was, il is said, assaulted by Mr.. Foard
grain buyer of the village, and sut.
ton, who was cutting a piece of wood
at the time of the assault, mad. a
lunge with the knife at FOard's stom.
ach, cutting him to about the depth of
two inches. Foard was also cut in the
side, breast and ears. Mr.. Peter White
who tried to separate them, was eut
on the wrist. The provocation "A.
signed by Mr.. Foard for the assault
was that Mr.. Sutton had whipped his
child without cause. Sheriff Comeevs
was notified on Saturday, but says as
both of them are in bed it is not neces-
sary to hurry arrests. Mr.. Foard is
very badly hurt. Both parties are
very well known.
