The New Kent County Slate.

In commenting upon the deal made
last week by the Reynolds wing of the
Democratic party in Dover last week, in
which the County and State Offices had
new apportionment, the Deiawayeap
puts it in this shape:
There was some kind ofpolitical pow-wow
held in this town last Tuesday among those
who have the ear of the powers that be, and
at the end of the great caucus there were
some surprises. Mr.. Vim. NJ. Dixon, who
had been a candidate for Clerk of the Peace
announced that he was out of the fight. Mr
Peter X. Meredith who had been an appli-
cant for the State Insurance Commissioned
announced that he was out of the fight for
that Office, but that he was in the field for
Clerk of the Peace to succeed Mir. A. H.
Cahail, who Is to resign on or about August
the first, of this year. just while the people
were wondering what this meant, DIR. r. w.
Hargadiue, nephew by marriage of the
Governor, announced that he was from this
time out, full fedged candidate for Insur-
auce Commissioner of the State. This was
not all, while all this Kent county confab
was taking place, number of the ever
faithful were present from New Castle to
have talk about New Castle matters. lust
what was the outcome of this whole pow
WOW we can but say there is a rumor that an
effort is being made to have an extra session
of the General Assembly to pass law to
give new assessment in New Castle county
and to amend the present obnoxious, idiotic
and absurd ballot law passed at the last
session of the General Assembly. We cannot
vouch for the extra session of the legislature
but we can say beyond doubt that some
thing had better be done Immediately to-
ward preparing the voters for the next elec-
ton If the people are to understand the bal
lot law.
1t is plain fact that the Sausburys
are not in the ring now, and they or
their friends are of so little consequence
to the ring how in power, that they are
not permitted to set at table with their
fe1low Democrats.

Non-Returnable Berry Packages.

]. W. Callahan, Secretary of the Retail
Retail Grocers Association has made a
thorough canvass of the retail grocers of
New York City, Brooklyn, and surrounding
towns, and find that to man, they are in
favor of the non-returnabe crates and berry
boxes Not only are the grocers of these
cities of one mind on this matter, but the
following extracts from communications
from the Retail Crocers Association of Phil
adelphia aud Boston, show that the grocers
ofthese two great cities, are also cooperating
with us in this matter
From Philadelphia, the Secretary writes:
eve are in favor of non-returnable berry
packages and pledge you our active cooper
alton"
From Boston, comes the following;
"We are utterly opposed to any other
berry package save that which shall be non.
returnable, and we have so notified The
Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange
AS matter of health, every argument
proves that none but clean packages should
be used for berries; and, as matter of profit
a careful investigation has conclusively
shown that the return freights and carriages,
and the replacing of packages, broken or
otherwise unfit for use, more than equals
the cost of packages which can be used as
non returuablc.
But there is no dispute, so far as we know,
as to the value nd necessity of using such
packages; all parties agree except as to the
matter of expediehcy Aud as these condi-
ions, and this same difference have now
existed for several years, the retail grocers,
who distribute the largest part of the goods
rave concluded that the time for action has
'ome. aud have accordingly decided that on
md after March 18th, 1892, they will refuse
o buy any berries, the price which does not

Quite crowd Of people was in town
Saturday last toattend the sale Of the ho
hold goods of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Tovus'(
end, which. owing to the very cold weather,
was mostly conducted indoors. and there
fore amid great difficulty. consequent upon
the crowd surging about. from one room to
another.
There is considerable comment hercabouts
ieiative to the editorial predictions in last
weeks issue of the CHRONICLE in regard TO
the alleged political aspirations Of our genial
and worthy townsman Robert W. Reynolds,
who it is claimed is already being doomed
AS candidate for State Senatorial honors TO
fill the vacancy made by the death of ex-
Governor Hall. If we give credence to the
statement made by Mr.. Reynolds himself
we may regard him as in no wise entered for
the race in the contest referred to- he de/
clares his uuwillingness TO accept any Office
within the gift of the people, aud although
an interested spectator ofthe contests *aged
in the arena of political strife, he sjers that
he is content to occupy seat in Ie amphi-
theatre near enough to the sfadiators to
lend hand in case of foul 1ay. Mr.. Rey-
nolds is warm in his appreciation of Senator
Gray, and does not ihisx his party would
seek to turn tho Senatoe down in order to
accomplish the 4 tomoyou of any one having
the temerity to dpnsp Re in his political de-
capitation There is not very much specu-
lation here in regard TO the filling of the
State Senatorial vacancy, and if the slate
makers are at work, they are not yet in &C
tive intinerant exercise.
There will be held on February 25th and
goth a festival in the Town Hall of Frederick
for the benefit of the NJ. P. Church.
Quite number of our townspeople go
oyer to FELTON, nightly to attend the extra
meetings of Rev. T. H, Haynes in the Nj. e.
Church there, under the direction Of the two
women evangelists, Mrs. l.. Kenney and
Miss Van Name.
The NJ. E. Church people here are en- r
gagged in casting about for minister to be
supplied by the approaching Conference, as
this coming conclave will end the pasterate
of Rev Dr. Caldwell, who will then have
completed a pastorate of four years, during
which time he has faithfully and effectively
ministered to the spiritual requirements of a
community who will long cherish the re-
membrance of his consistent, holy and up
rioIt life. ANON,

certain quarters was made painfully ap-
parent in the Chilean controversy by
Congressman like Breckenridge of Ken
lucky, and Arnold of Missouri Seeing
that the President and his advisers were
in trying position and apparently had
the issue of peace or war on their hands,
Arnold and Breckinridge caught at the
opportunity to open a fire in the rear. 1t

the world by accusing him of deception

that Arnold brought in his resolution a
few days later attacking Minister Egan
and taking the Chilean side of the con-
troversy with this country. These dis
plays have led to ones good result, how
ever. The country knows now how
much patriotism it can expect in time
of emergency from Democrats like Breck-

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, February IS, 1892.
Secretary Blaine very cleverly punctured
the Canadisn reciprocity balloon by extract
ing the information from Sir Julian Paunce-
fte, the British minister, who has been act
ing as asteerer for the Canadian Commission
ers ever since their arrival, that they had no
authority to negotiate treaty, and only
cine here to learn how much this govern
uent would be willing to grant, if the British
government should send properly authorized
commissioners. Secretary Blaine told them
that Il was but waste of time to continue
the conferences, under such conditions. The
British minister has been exchanging cable
grams With his home government, but il
has not trsnspired whether II was in regard
to this Canadian business or the Behriue
Sea cemmissiou, which is In session here.
II is believed that there is connection be-
tween the two things. and that the British
g'vef.nent in spite Of its many failures in
the past haa been akain trying to pull the
wool over Uncle San's eyes.
