will be question whether the COM

to divide this district though it has 81

district would have about $50 voters,

nissloners are to meet, and the first
hing they have to do is to ascertain

their judgment, any hundred or dis

The commissioners will have no bet
ter or more correct way of ascertain
ling the number OF voters as aforesaid
than by taking the number of votes

their guide. In regard to the number
of voters in each election district they
will no doubt be guided by the laws
of the city of Wilmington, which pre-
scribe 800 voters OF thereabouts as the
maximum. With this as guide what

At the last election for Governor this
hundred voted as follows: Republican
4S3, Democratic 62S. total I'LL. Since
then the legislature by an aeG of May
10, 1891, divided the hundred into two
election districts, which would give
leach district about $50 votes. This,
however, is far above tho maximum
Iof 800, and it is not Improbable IN fact
Ilt is almost certain, that the commits
Isioners will divide both the districts
laid out by the legislature and make
-four districts In New Castle Hundred.
Should this be done eaCh district will
contain about 27S voters.

This Is one of the election districts
that will need no division MS the whole

The Government Seed Shop.

For many years the appropriations
for the distribution of seeds by the seed
division have been growing larger, and
the kinds and the character of the
seeds sent out have made it evident to
all that the original good purposes for
which the division was established had
been lost sight of, and had become de-
based to the bad service of politics.
The primary object of distributing
seeds by the government was to pro-
cure those which were considered of
unusual merit in foreign countries,
through our consuls and other agents,
and to send them to parties in this
country who would give them a trial
and ascertain their value. To the ex-
tent that the government has acted in
conformity with this primary intention
may the usefulness of the seed distri-
button be measured, and beyond this,
in the opinion of those who have
watched the operations of the seed di-
vision and are well qualified to judge,
the money expended, or by far the
greater share of it, has been lost; and
the evils connected with the distribu-
ton have been so great that, in the APP.
parent impossibility of correcting them,
strong demand has been made to
