THE SUSSEX TAXEs.-The Rcpubli-
can tax collectors of Sussex county,
offered to receive poll taxes in bulk
from the Democratic party for their
voters, and the Levy Court postponed
the day for allowing delinquents until
last Wednesday, n week, to give the
Democratic party chance to pay their
taxes, but they made no effort. This
is certainly a contrast to the way Re-
publicans were served by previous
Democratic courts and collectors.
The Democratic leaders Of Sussex
have made no general effort to pay
the taxes of their people, and 30 these
voters have a new experience before
them. We hazard the assertion that
there are hundreds of men who vote
the straight Democratic ticket every
year, who have not paid one cent OF
taxes-and whose taxes have not been
paid for them, but have always been
carried by the collectors, and finally
allowed to their credit as errors, by
the Levy Court But this condition Oi
affairs has reached point where a
radical change must take place. Re-
publicans have control of the Levy
Court, and the usual order could moi
be maintained. The collectors have
returned many hundreds of these pol
tax payers who have failed to respond
to the many calls for their taxes.-Mtt

Simpson and President Polk, at Eas-

ing: THE two speeches were of the
same character, both reciting the woes
and losses of the farmers and the de-
preston of agriculture. To remedy
this they propose that the Farmers
Alliance shall go into politics, secure
the abolition of the protective system,
the destruction of the National banks,
the unlimited free coinage of silver, the
government control of railroads and
reduction of the number of lawyers in

shows the ministerial preference to be

Gentlemen from the several counties
met with the Democratic members of
the General Assembly, in the rOOms
of the Secretary of State last week and
held two hours conference, tae out
come of which was the appointment
of q committee of three legal gentlemen
to aid in putting the legislation in such
shape as to control the county govern
ment. There is u growing sentiment
in favor of a commission for Kent
also, both for cOnsistency's sake and
because Kent is entitled to as favorable
treatment as the other counties. The
advisory committee chosen by the
conference is thus made up:
New Castle-Thomas f. Bayard,
Lewis c. Vandergrift, A. B. Cooper.

IN FAVOR OF THREE YEARs.-The
probable change in the pastOrate OF
Scott Church, Wilmington, has created
much comment in that city,. and in
fact, throughout the conference of the
church, the official board, instead of
asking for the return of their pastor,
the Rev. V. S. Collins, who has been
there but three years, invited the Rev.
J. p. Otis, of Port Deposit, to become
pastor. The only grounds they would
name for taking such action, was that
they believed in the three years and
opposed the five years system.
Scott Church is not alone in believ-
ing the three years plan is the best for
both the preacher and the people.
There is a strong sentiment in the
church at Smyrna, in favor Of three
years as he limit, and other churches
such as that of Dover, have sacrificed
their convictions to an aggressive per
sOnal sentiment.
