The New PONCE Force.

The police commissioners have decided
mon fine men who are to compose the
new colice force, with the exception Of a
few men The action Of the com
nissioners will not suit everybody; Il II
did it would be something remarkable
The commissioners did wisely IN retain
ing the capable men of the old force on
me- new force, but they might probably
have done better in the sitting out pro-
cess
Sergeant William J. Blackburn, who IS
to succeed Major Swiggett as chief OF po'
lice, has a good record as a citizen as a
soldier. and as a police officer, and we
hone that he will make an efficient chiel
of Morning Nezgs.

IN organizing the board of trustees for
the new college to educate colored child
rem. which was authorized by the last
legislature to meet the requirements OF
the Hatch law that gives to each Of
the states certain moneys TO assist in
maintaining agricultural colleges, parti-
sanship was disregarded. and in placing
a man like Charles b. Lore at its head
as president, the success of this separate
college is assured It is purposed to es-
tablish the college some where i'll Kent

hope that the colored people of Delaware
will avail themselves of its advantages.

MARSHALL II. PRETTYNfAN Of Nil
ford, has been appointed special agen
of the Bureau of Labor, and will repOr
mt Washington for duty on July Ist
The appointment is one OF Senator Hig
gins rewards for political service. Pretty
man, last fall. when II. I. Hynsou, edi
tor of the Milford Meas and HQ5eI9iSfJi
refused to support the Higgins machine
took Hyns0ns place in the editorial
chair while the former editor accepted
an official appointment at Washington.
Il was while under Prettyman's charge
that the paper falsely accused John W.
Causey, Democratic candidate for Con
gress, with attempting to buy number
Of negro votes by offering $500 10 the
colored church at Milford. -E5e1y E9eN-
ing.
M II. Prettyman has been appointed
a special agent in the Department of
Labor"
This announcement as made in the
E9cyy E1eNiNe is true, and if nothing
more had been added the space this edi-
torial takes would not have been neces-
sary.
We are wrongly accused, however.
We do not apologize for anything we
did or said during the campaign last fall.
We desired the defeat of Mr.. Causey
for the reason that he was a Democrat
and thoroughly stood up for, e0eH u he
lid not 6eliege IN, the principles Of his
party.
As a citizen he is as near perfect as
the average;-yes, we are in honor bound
to say he is above; far above, the average
citizen of our town-BUT, and make ms
BUT as large and as conspicuous as pos
si5le, the Every E0eaiHg is wrong, and
we honestly think it knows it is wrong
in saying that M. II. Prettyman falsely
accused John w. Causey
with attempting to buy a number OF
negro votesb by offering $500 to the colored
church of Milford" NJ. H. Prettyman
did not make such a charge aud no one
in the state knows it better than the
writer of the above article in the E7e1Y
EzeHlRg.
What we did say we stand by now and
are ready at any time to prove. This is
an off season and politics should be out
of the question. It is now aquestion of
honor and Justice and if the political edi-
tor of the Eve,y EveNing is ignorant of
the charges brought, OF not brought,
against anybody, it would be well for
linn to more thoroughly post himself be
fore again writing upon the subject. The
Meas and Adoeytisey said $500 was
offered toward liquidating the debt OF
the colored church for one hundred votes
for MIR. Causey." Nothing was said about
Mr.. Causey making the offer
The charge we brought is still on. We
do not intend to back down and our rep
utation for the opposite is thoroughly
known in this community, or anywhere
and everywhere else where we happen to
be known,
The Ege,y Egeaiag's political repre-
sentative must make his department IN 3

We have picked the Light
ming from all Ice Cream Freez-
ers as the best. No guess
work, no CHANGING. no taking
this or that for granted ; we've
tried and tested and found out
what practical use has proved
to others.
TheLie htning makes friends
from the first try. Some of
the points of superiority in the
Lightning Freezer are:
1T has ample tub space.
2-It is quicker than any other good
Freezer we know of.
at does the work with less labor than
any other Freezer in the market.
1T makes more and better Ice Cream
from given amount of material than
any other Freezer.
5-The gearing is completely covered.
preventing accidents to careless mn
gers and keeping salt or ice from the
wheels.
You can see the Lightning
Freezer at work here, if you
care to. and learn how smooth
the cream is that it turns out.
1t is modest priced, too.
