A LETTER dated March 9th, 1891,
from one of the principal owners OF
the Cornwall tin mines in South
Wales, to gentleman in this town,
contains the following paragraph ::
81 think the manufacture of tin
plate feasible now in the United
States by the aid of your patent
medicine or cure ALL" the Mckinley
tariff, but you will have to import
workmen from South Wales to initi-
ate your men into the little intrica-
cies of the work. Until your much
talked Of /" Harney Peak comes to
the front you will no doubt have to
import your tin from the Straits or
England-but we import lot our
selves. 1t is quite possible you may
have to increase your tariff to 20 per
cent. ad. val. before you can compete,
but that will be a mere trifle, now you
have begun"
This letter explains itself. That
the predictions therein made will be
verified is undoubtedly certain. A
great tax has been levied upon the
people Of this country to enable few
capitalists to make a large income
from their investments. They import
the tin, the sheets, and the workman,
and then brag about the benefcient re-
suits of the tariff to the American
working man.

Patterson has no Regrets.

In letter to the New York World
Mr.. W. J. Parkerson, who led the
New Orleans mob that killed the
Maia prisoners, says: It appears to
me that there has been great deal Of
noise, waste Of ink, paper and
electricity spent over the just execution
of eleven assassins, be they from Italy
or any other country. Meetings have
been held in every city where the
"Mafia" enjoys home, and we have
been found guilty and condemned to
the final punishment that the MaGa
may elect to impose. I have yet to
hear Of a single meeting Of Americans
to indorse the action of Americans in
disposing Of these horrid reptiles that
cursed our country. There is not a
reputable Italian in this city who does
not indorse our actions. We care moth
ing for the condemnation of such men
as President d'Angelo, of the Society
Fraterne. If he owns the eleven
brutes who met their death at our
hands as his countrymen and wishes to
ayenge their death, 1 hope he will
hurry to do so. I hope he will collect
every black-eyed son Of Sicily to his
standard and come to New Orleans
ready for business. We would
welcome the day to meet ten times our
number in honorable combat, but con-
fess that we are afraid of one d'Angelo
crouching in the dark to stab us in
back. We have nothing to conceal,
to apologize for, and would
repeat the act if the occasion every
presented itself again.

A Desperate Dover Negro.

William Collins, a Dover negro
was arrested Tuesday on suspicion Of
having attempted to assault Mrs.
Z. E. Cook and three other ladies
while they were walking down the
street in that town Saturday night.
He was afterwards identified by the
ladies and at a preliminary hearing
was held in $500 bail, in default Of
which he was remanded to Jail to
await trial at the coming term of
court.
The assault was a very bold one
and each of the ladies were stopped
at different times. Collins claims he
knows nothing of the affair and says
he was home on the evening men
toned by 10 o'clock. His wife says
he did not come home until after II,
states that he is very bad man and
compares him to a dog. The full ex-
tent of the penalty for an attempt to
feloniously assault any female is
$500 fine, one hour in the pillory, 30
lashes and 10 years imprisonment.

A Glue to the Leconey Murder.

The Smyrna Times has the follow
ing There was one witness which
the States Attorney did not know Of
who would have been very important
one in investigating the murder Of
Annie Leconey which, if it could have
been relied on, and we know nothing
to the contrary, would have saved
both the State and Chalkley Leconey a
great deal of money. We refer to a
colored man named Peter Evans.
The information which came to US
the past week, but which was known
to the colored friends of Evans for
sometime, is as follows, as the in
formation reaches us Sometime
after the murder of Annie Leconey,
Peter Evans came to Smyrna and
while here told David Robinson that
at the time of the murder he lived in
the same place or vicinity where
Lingo did, that the latter had wanted
him to 60 out with him the previous
night but he didn't that the next day
Lingo told him that he had done some
thing he was very sorry for ; that he
feared it would give him trouble, &c.
After talking some time, be remark
ed that he couldn't stand it, that he
would have to tell somebody, and other
similar expressions, leaving the only
inference on the mind Of Evans that
be had killed Annie Leconey. Now,
said he to Evans, in an impressive
manner, ''if you ever breathe this to
any one l will kill you." Evans
fearing his own life was at stake, left
the place without divulging the secret,
and never returned. Since the
murder of Mrs. Miller, Evans has been
down again to visit his brother resid-
ing in the "Forest" off towards Mary
land and told him the same thing. as
the latter repeated to ''Dave" Robin
son when on recent visit to him in
this town. Evans evidently believes
Lingo the murderer in both cases and
had he been available for witness in
the trial of che first murder, the second
might never have happened. He is
now a resident of Philadelphia.

Cen. Joseph K. Johnston Dead /.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston died short
ly after IL o'clock Saturday night at
his residence in Washington City. The
General had been suffering with an
affection of the heart, aggravated by a
cold he caught soon after General
Sherman's funeral in New York. The
immediate cause of his death was
heart failure, due more particularly to
extreme old age. His physician had
been trying to keep his strength up for
some days, but his advanced age had
given little hope for his recovery from
the beginning of his illness. The
General did not seem TO suffer in the
least and was conscious to the last.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, 5 / 90 A YEAR.
Thursday Afternoon. March 26. 1891

THE LEGISLATURE is now consider
ing some important bills, among them
a registration act. At the present ses-
sion of the Levy Court it is said that
the collectors have returned as delln-
quents somewhere in the neighborhood
of five thousand persons who had been
assessed and should have paid taxes.
That such an act could have been per-
petrated is disgrace to the men who
pledged themselves to use every means
at their command to collect. Fully
one-half of the persons returned would
have gladly paid their taxes had ordl-
nary care been exercised by the collec-
tors and it is probable that the greater
part Of the other half could have been
prevailed upon to pay had the law
been enforced.
The danger now IS that there will Do
great temptation to use fraudulent
means to secure the right to vote il
the Levy Court does not place these
men on the list next March. Every
means should be employed to secure to
these persons those rights which have
been wantonly disregarded by incapa-
BILE collectors. They must remember
that one year hence will be the time
to set themselves right. Very many
Of the delinquents care great deal
more for the disgrace which attaches
to man who apparently refuses to
pay his just dues to the county than
they do for the mere act of disfran-
chisement.
There is scarcely a negro in st. |
Georges hundred who was assessed,
whose tax was not collected and yet
there are over four hundred white men |
who are returned. So it is all over the |
county. Rather than such a whole |
sale loss of taxes should occur in the
future let us have a registration law
which would be just and equitable and
which will compel every man who
wishes to vote to register and pay a
poll tax at least thirty days before an
election.
Such law will be necessity when
a secret ballot system comes into use.
The, State will 6 ain much in the way
of taxes and the constant wrangling |
which is feature Of our elections at |
present would be done away with be-
cause every man who asked to be regis |
tered would then and there prove his |
right to vote or be rejected. The pay
ment of poll tax at the time Of regis
tering can be objected to by no man !
who is protected by the law in the |
exercise Of his rights and liberties. |
The Legislature should not adjourn
until the best form of secret ballot and |
a registration law are secured.

4dE TRUTH VI tU6 StaLem6QG LDal
s'public Office is public trust - is
verified so far as it can be applied tc
State Office. by the lamentable
failure of the ex-State Treasurer to
settle his accounts in due time. That
public Office is trust is a fact recog-
nized by every officer who has proper
appreciation of the honor bestowed
upon him and the trust reposed in him
by the people of Delaware. We are
small in territory and few in numbers,
but our credit has always been equal
to the best.
We have enjoyed that credit and
proited by it to an unusual degree
and it is well to consider the causes
which have led up to the position
which, at present. reflects SO much
credit upon the majority party of the
commonwealth. Delaware has always
been conservative in expenditures,
careful in investments and generally
lucky enough to secure honest men as
financial agents. These are the very
points which compel confidence and
they are the points which should ever
be held in view by our State Treasur-
rs.
The present unhappy condition of an
ex-Treasurer could have been avoided
had he done his whole duty to the
State without considering his own
financial necessities. Mr.. Herbert has
for many years been a power within
the Democratic party as we'll as in
State politics and it has been the Gus
tom of many persons to 60 to him for
advice ; he stood above the common
herd and was chosen by the people
and by the Legislature to offices Of
profit and trust.
From these offices be has derived his
political and financial strength and
should have rewarded the party which
placed him in high positions by care
full and just accounting to the people
for all the money entrusted to his care.
But how are the mighty fallen. When
the day for final accounting arrives
the man whom the Democratic party
has honored so often fails to honor
himself or his party and in his useless
and futile struggles to justify himself
he endeaYors to drag down other men
into the pit. The constant reitera-
tion of the fact that he has property
enough to cover any loss to the State
is simply nonsensical.
The people do not wish forr one
penny Of his private property, but
