WHEREAS, The constitution of the United
States guarantees to all her citizens certain
inaiienable rights such as life, liberty and
the pursuits of happiness, and

State of Delaware, to insure to ourselves
and to our posterity the aforesaid rights, do
in accordance with the legal requirements
of the Laws of Delaware, to wit, volume
10, chapter 81. organize and constitute the
Colored Independent Republican party.
Resoi1ed That we pledge our support to
such principles as may have tendency to
promote the moral educational and pollti-
cal interests of our people.
RcsOircd, That in order to better develop
our interests in this commonwealth in the
future we aim to secure representation by
supporting a ticket composed of colored
men for the several elective positions
within the borders Of our State.
ReSofpfd, That the course pursued Dy us
as enfranchised citizens has been power.
less in developing equal citizenship, and
that by pursuing the course heretofore
stated we can exercise an influence which
| will cause to be enacted laws which shall
better our condition, granting MS all the

| Resol,Yd That we demand the Legisla-
ture of 1929 to so change, amend or
enact laws that we shall have the right to
| vote at school elections in Wilmington
and call upon all men who desire such
contemplated discrimination abolished to
give the candidates of the Independent

Tom O'Fourke, who knows a fighter

spirits when the battle was past. He
said before the tight that il would result
just as it did and he outlined COrbett's
tactics. "Corbett won as | predicted,
and a clear head prevailed over brute
force and viciousness and carried the
day. Billy Madden must have been

THOSE SUsS Ex RECEIPTS.
They We're Not In Blank--What Mr.
Causey Says.


The Morning Neaos prints the follow
ing letter which explains itself:
To the Editor of the Morning Nc,DS-SIR:
Having learned that some of the registrars
in New Castle county have refused to reg
lister and to recognize tax receipts because
signed in bulk and paid by others than the
person named in the receipt, we thought it
might be interesting to the voters in New
Castle county to know how the same thing
is practiced here.
As far back as March Sd, 1891. the Hon.
John w Causey, the present Democratic
representative in Congress, called on John
H.Johnson, the Republican tax collector OF
Cedar Creek hundred, Sussex county, With
q list of one hundred and elevenQ 1llDenlo'
cratic voters and requested him TO receive
the taxes for the same. Mr.. Johnson
agreed to do so, and he accepted the pay
ment of the taxes from Mr.. Causey.
MIR. Gausey did not ask for the receipts
until Saturday last, September Sd, 1892;
whereupon Mr.. johnson, the collector,
issued the receipts for the taxes in bulk to
Mr.. Causey, dated March Sd, 1891, and
upon which Mr.. Carsey at once proceeded
to have the men whose names he held re-
ceipts for registered.
j. r. LoFLANp,
GEORGE w. MARSHALL.
| MILFORD, DEL, September 6Ch, 1892
In considering this letter, it is impor-
| tant to bear in mind that there is a very
great difference between the issue of tax
| receipts in bulk and the issue of tax re-
ceipts in blank. The presumption upon
| which the New Castle tax receipts in
controversy were not recognized by the
registrars, but held over for considera-
ton, was that they had been issued in
| blank to be filled in as opportunity and
occasion might serve. This is not in
tended as statement of fact, but
merely as statement of the presump-
ton which influenced the action of the
registrars. Messrs. Lotland and Marshall
speak Of tax receipts in bulk, and it is
we'll to observe this dintinction.
In reference to the foregoing letter
Congressman Causey said to an EVERY
EVENING representative this morning
"'rhe Cedar Creek collector, Mr.. John
Johnson, had not collected the taxes of
these Ill men and was going to return
them as delinquents. 1t was the last
day we had and | asked him to let me
pay their takes, which he did, promis-
ing to give me the receipts soon. Not
receiving the receipts | asked him for
them last Saturday and got them. Every
man whose tax was paid was checked
off on the collectors books. These re-
ccipts are not kept in bulk, as generally
understood, and every man is at perfect
liberty to come to me and get his re-
ceipt, or to come to my house and get it
if am away, and do what he pleases
with it. There are some collectors in
Sussex who will not exert themselves
to collect taxes from Democrats. The
collector of Little Creek hundred, two
years ago, kept out of the way and
wouldn't let Democrats pay their taxes,
and ever went so far as to go over into
Maryland and take i, another .l road 70 ;, The h
returned"

BEES And BEE-KEEPERS
In the Sunny Land Flowing With Gold
and Honey.
An Industry That Offers Possibilities Of
Wealth to Men Who are Without
Large Capital
Written for THE MORNING CALL

81 am convinced that the honey yield OF
California might be increased to an annual
value Of at least $50, 100000"
That was what was said to me a few days
ago by c. n. Wilson, one of the leading bee
men OF Southern California. who has been
% years in the business. II set me to think
ing and investigating a little about an in
dustry of which comparatively little is
known to the general public of The State.
California to-day ranks first IN the pro-
duction of honey. and sells more bees than
any other State in the Union. yet the prod
uct is insignificant compared with what it
might be.
The honey bee was first introduced in
Southern California by O. w. Chlds in
March. 1855. He had great difficulty in get
ting the bees from the Atlantic coast at
time when there were no railroads, but his
investment repaid him handsomely, for the
bees multiplied fast and comb honey
brought 81 pound. The industry rapidly
spread, and honey is to-day one of the inn
portant exports Of Southern California.
Three years ago statistics showed 5000
stands OF bees IN the six southern counties.
the honey yield from which aggregated
nearly 2600 tons. representing money
value of nearly S250,000 Since then the
colonies have certainly increased over so per
cent The past three seasons, however,
have been unfavorable for the production
OF honey, owing to cool weather in the
spring, which retardS the flow of nectar, so
that the Weld has remained about the same,
or only slightly in excess of that of three
years ago.
The years 1876 1873 and 1884 were notable
for the almost entire absence of cold
weather, tOgs or high winds, the result be-
ing heavy yields. In 1876. when there was

To propel the vessel, a horizontal shaft
projects from each side, each carrying two

rotated by gearing actuated by any suitable
