The early gathering of Dress
Goods has a logical cause.
Spring Dressmaking and sew
ing involve serious cares in
every household. Whether
prodigality or economy con-
troll, whether the services of
modiste or domestic skill are
employed, the task is equally
serious and trying.
In the Spring there are too
many dresses for the dress
markes. First come, first
serve. Would save worry in
April and be ready for June
to select in January. For ul-
tra-fashionable or hyper-plain

In IT'S conjectures as to whom the
Democratic sparty would nominate
for county officers, the Evening Journa
mentions as possible candidate fol
Receiver of Taxes and County Treas.
urer, Mr.. Nathaniel Williams. While
we do not believe that Mr.. Williams
could be induced to accept the place,
which would add so much to the cares
of an already busy life, yet We do
believe that he would perform the
duties of the Office to the entire satis-
faction of the people of New Castle
County. The record which he has
made as public officer is a clean one
and his personal integrity and honesty
is sufficient guarantee for an honest
administration of an important trust.
The Democratic party would gain
much from his candidacy. In this
part of the county he would have
things his own way and would receive
an overwhelming majority against any
contestant. In the upper districts he
is well and favorably known, and
would receive the support of the entire
party. This can be said of few other
men at this time. The trouble in this
case is that Mr.. Williams prefers the
quietude of private life, and in all
probability could not be induced to
accept the position. In the latter case
the people Of New Castle county will
be the sufferers.

By THE death of Coy. Hall the
State has lost a trusty and faithful
servant, the people friend of the best
type. Honest in the administration Of
sacred public trusts as well as in the
discharge Of his duty to his fellow man
he had earned reputation which was
the glory of his old age. Though he
had passed the allotted three score and
ten years his daily life was taken up
with the duties attendant upon an ex-
tensive business. Although he had
been Governor of the State, and had
been honored by the bestowal of other
honors by an appreciatiye people his
interest in public affairs never abated
and to the end Gov. Hall was consult
ed concerning the more important
affairs of State. By his careful habits
in business he had risen by his own
efforts, from the apparently unfortu-
nate position of a portionless orphan
to one Of honor and wealth. In the
discharge of public duty he seldom
erred. Upon the young men of the
State devolves the duty and the honor
of following in the political footsteps
of John w. Hall.

The speech of Hon. Thomas F. Bay.
ard at Boston, we commend for careful
perusal and study, to the people Of
Delaware. In the face of all the. shifty
theories advanced in the face Of the
tendencies toward temporary and ruin
GUS expedients recommended by men
of every class and calling, and at this
time when politicians are looking for
issues which will serve to draw away
from the real issues of the times the
attention of the people, he stands
forth like man and states the case as
it is. The condition of the country is
such that men are grasping at straws
which they vainly hope will preserve
them from ruin, rather than laying
hold Of and settling once and for all,
the only questions which need their
attention. In this fearless and straight
forward course we can find only cause
for admiration of the man.

An Improyed Ballot BOX.

Ernest c. Reiche, of Chestertown.
has invented ballot box which he
claims makes fraud an impossibility.
Three sides of it are glass, while the
fourth registers every ballot dropped
in the slip at the top, and no matter
how many tickets may be dropped in
at one time, only one, it is claimed, is
registered. Each ballot is stamped
with the date, number Of ward and
precinct, and it is said no matter how
many may be dropped in at one time
only one ballot is stamped. With
every ticket dropped in the slot gong
sounds. These conditions, it is claim
ed, make stufing" an impossibility.
If at any time it becomes necessary for
the Judges or clerks to leave the box at
the close of the election, by simply
pressing button a slide closes over
the slot, SO that no more tickets can be
put in until the box is unlocked and
the machinery put in working order.

ed great mistake. Hill may be boss
of the party in his State, but he is
certainly not the boss nor the repres-

his efforts to a marked degree, but
success in many cases is fraught with
