THE UNwARRANTED attack made
upon Speaker Donahoe by certain per-
sons who desire to humiliate him in
the most public way possible, do not
seem to bear fruit of the kind desired.
Those correspondents who are allowed
the privilege Of the floor and who are
courteously treated by the members Of
the Legislature are supposed to be men
of some self-respect, men who do not
allow their personal dislikes to enter
into their reports, but in some in
stances there does seem to be a lack
not only Of self-respect, but an absence
Of that respect which is due the legis-
lature.
John P. Donahoe was elected by the
people of this county as their represen-
tative in the Senate, and by the Senate
as presiding officer, and for these rea-
sons if no other he is entitled to secur-
ity from unmanly attacks. There is a
certain amount of honor and respect
which rightfully belongs to the man
who rises, by his own effort, from
poverty and obscurity to the second
Office in the State, and no man has the
right to revile without cause against
the individual who so rises. All men
are liable to err, but the man who en-
deavors to encompass the destruction
of all the good results accomplished by
years Of buffeting with adversely and
untoward circumstances places himself
beyond the pale Of human sympathy.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS have Great
ed panic among the beneficial orders
which have become so numerous ana
far-reaching. When the promise was
made that money would be almost
doubled in one or two months, many
persons who could only raise small
sums each week or month imagined
that by an investment of such nature
they could secure the same benefits
which capitalists secure from the IN
vestment of large sums; this was
enough to overbalance the Judgement
of many and the consequences are now
apparent. While we hope that resi-
dents of Middletown who have trusted
these concerns may be able to secure
their claims, at the same time we be-
lieve it our duty to advise all our
readers to keep out of anything which
promises something for nothing.

said that Governor Reynolds is look

man who is free from all connection

find it hard to secure a man who is

THE OFFERS made to advertisers
who deal with the newspapers of the
Peninsula by certain advertising
agencies, are about on par with those
offers in regard to statements Of circu-
lation made by the proprietors of GER
tain newspaper directories. In one
case an agency in st. Louis made GER
tain ridiculous offers to publishers of
local papers these offers we're, in al
most every case, emphatically rejected,
and yet this concern has thoroughly
advertised among the patrons of local
papers, that space in these papers can
be had at an exceedingly low rate, a
rate which would probably not be CIV
en- by the weakest paper on the Penin-
sula such an underhand way of doing
business should not be tolerated with
out protest and no self-respecting
publisher should deal with any agency
which undertakes to deceive both the
advertiser and the publisher. In the
case of the proprietors Of some of the
directories it has become the practice
to place at very lowffgure the circu-
lation Of any paper. the publisher Of
which does not see fit to answer imper-
tinent questions or.to invest few dol
lars in worthless publication.
The newspapers seem to be suffer-
ing from series Of blackmailing
schemes which they should not be slow
to expose. Ohe'0fthe Delaware papers
undertook to give the circulation Of
other Delaware papers last week and
succeeded IN getting them all too high
or too low By from two hundred and

In the Superior Court at George
town last week, the suit of DIR. G.
F Jones against Philip E. Carey, in
which Jones, the plaintiff, sues Carey,
the defendent, for $4,000 damages,
was decided. In June last DR.. Jones
was driving in the public road when
Careys dog ran out and after his team.
This frightened the horse and it ran
away, throwing DIR. Jones out,
inflicting a dislocation of the shoulder
and an oblique facture of the arm.
DR.. Jones sued for $4,000 but the
jury rendered verdict of $3.50. This
case has created a great deal of in
