The divorce mill goes merrily ON, but
secret ballot languishes in the hands
of the committee. If this Legislature
adjourns without enacting some kind
of a secret ballot system the people
will not be fairly represented in the
next Legislature. The secret ballot
is the only effective safeguard against
intimidation and fraud, and should
be made law at once.
The Convention bill has passed and
those who want a new constitution
will have to marshal their forces, as
the time is now short and May next
will decide the momentous question.
The special election will be held on
the third Tuesday in may. Mr..
Fulton's bill to provide for the
equalization of taxes is losing some
of the support which it had at first,
and is gaining very few new support
ers. Delaware College is asking for
$4,000 with which to provide the
necessary means to enable the College
to accept and use the money ap
propriated by the government to
Agricultural Colleges. There is a
feeling abroad that rather than al
low the College to have this money
it would be better policy to devote
it to the use of the free schools where
all the children of the State can be
benefited by it. The bill which has
stirred up the beneficial orders so
much is not likely to get through
the Senate. All the bills relating to
marsh companies in this county are
laid up for the present and it is
possible that they may never come
up for consideration. A bill passed
the House yesterday, which author
ICES the payment of 5000 to a Lewes
man who took advantage of the
States offer to pay for a substitute
during the war.
This man has never received his
pay and now asks that it be handed
over. There are number of these
cases and they will now come forward
and with rush. A bill to provide
for a registration of voters is being
prepared by an eminent Dover
lawyer which will also provide for an
assessment of poll tax, and will make
the holding of a receipt for taxes paid
the qualification for registry. Such
law is regarded by the best lawyers
in the State as constitutional and will
doubtless pass.
There is some talk of adjournment,
but if the Legislature finishes it's work
it will stay at least month yet.

of the Wilmington Conference read by
Bishop Fowler at the close of the session
Monday evening
WILMINGTON DIsTRICT-w. L. S. MURRAY,
Mohave County miner., 1891-01-10
Our New Omeers.
CARLEros & SMITH.

Only one change Of importance has
been made in the complexion OF our coun.
ty officers from that OF last year, but We
cannot .ss over their Induction into
Office on January lst without a few words
Of msrited praise. As all our people are
aware, some changes have been made in
the the internal arrangement OF offers.
The Sheriff 10 now ex-officio assessor and
collector and the taxpayers OF this county
have done well in re-electing so competent
man as w. III. Lake 10 fill the Office OF
Sheriff, in view Of these additional duties.
The affairs OF the Sherih's Office have
been run more economically during Mr..
Lakes term OF Office than ever before in
the history OF the county, and he may
well feel proud Of the hearty endorsement
given him by the people.
The Office OF Treasurer Is most impor-
tant one, carrying With Il, as it does, the
whole financial responsibility Of the coun-
ty government, and the people made a
most iudicious selection when they placed
the keys to their treasure vault in the
hands OF Harvey Hubbs. Mr.. Hubbs is a
man Of integrity, ability and honesty and
deserves the confidence placed 10 him by
the people Of cur county.
E. ]. Goldman has filed the Office OF
Recorder 30 we'll, that the people in this
usually Democratic county. concluded
they would have him do business at the
old stand for another term, and there the
public will find him ready TO transact any
business they may require.
The only thing We can say for our Dis
trict Attorney is that he has served the
people 40 long, 80 well and 30 faithfully
that il wonld seem like breaking up
housekeeping TO see his place filed by
another, and on this New Years day he
greets his friends in the Office he has 50
long held.
l.. o. Cowan has proven himself a mod
eI Judge Of Probate during the past two
years and merited the hearty approval
he received at the November election
and bids fair to make himself even more
popular with the people during his second
term Of Office.
To have the business Of the county run
In business shape requires business men
at the head Of affairs, and Of such is the
Board Of Supervisors Of this county com
posed. The new members are g. w.
Beecher and Samuel Crozier, and with
Daniel Smith, as chairman, completes
one Of the most able, intelligent and bus
iness-like set Of men ever elected to fill
this important Office in this county.
Taken as whole, our new officers have
all the qualifications necessary to the
economical and judicious management Of
county affairs for the next two years.
