WE have been informed that members
Of the present legislature who are not
favorable to the National Guard, are
offering to trade, or to more properly
express it, to bulldoze their colleagues to
vote against maintaining the National
Guard, by threatening to vote against
making an appropriation with which to
have the products of Delaware suitably
represented at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago This is the view a pessimist
would naturally take of an occasion of
this character. Nothing is seen by such
people outside of the bald fiat surface OF
to-day. There is no beyond to them. To
their mind every dollar invested in any
thing but something to eat or wear, is so
much thrown away Nothing can be
done-in the pessinist eye-that will be
to the general advantage of ALL Such
are those who would offer to block an
appropriation to place the important
fruit and agricultural interests Of Della
ware before our galaxy Of states and the
counties Of the world at the great fair to
be held in Chicago. Their course in using
the Fair as a lever to overthrow the Nat
ional Guard is not legitimate influence.
Appropriations for patriotic and national
objects are for common objects. A fair
Of this kind is a common object to the
North American Federation of States, and
should receive the support Of each and
every legislature.

LAST week Levy Courtman Samuel G.
Fisher offered a set of resolutions for the
Levy Courts adoption (which we're laid
on the table,, that shows the attempt OF
the Democratic managers to create polit-
ical capital We won't do Mr. Fisher
the injustice to even insinuate that he
framed the resolutions, which, divested
of all political clothing, simply meant
that the tax rate will probably have to be
raised to so cents instead of maintaining
it at 40 cents on the hundred, where the
Republicans placed it last year.

THE Levy Court of Sussex county is a
peculiarly constructed body so far as the
personal goes. In the face of the recent
attempt to steal the county by dividing
two hundreds, the Republican members
Of the Levy Court bow down and offer
up to the minority the patronage of the
county. Did the Democrats Of Kent
county recognize the Republican minor
ity in that county in that manner? We
believe that the Republicans in the Sus-
sex Levy Court made a mistake.

THAT the laws enacted by the general
assembly should be published in the
papers of the State, we do not pretend
to contradict; but that the bill recently
introduced for accomplishing this pur-
pose should never become law, we are
firmly convinced. The bill would fasten
upon the State Treasury a heavy tax, and
would simply make more political pap
for the papers in high favor with the
Governor AS the bill reads it aims at
political favoritism and leaves the doors
open for exorbitant charging. We be-
lieve that the only way to get the laws
published in the newspapers in an econ
omical manners is to have all laws which
affect the whole State published in papers
in all Of the counties; those that affect
New Castle county, be published in that

The latest and one Of the best novelties for

exquisite shade Of pink, something entirely

flower is destined to become a great favorite
among the florists, as the ladies prize livery
highly for corsage bouquets and decorative
purposes generally. The endorsement Of
the old firm Of James Wick, Rochester, n.

assure the public that it is all they claim for
it. The price is only so cents each, three for
