State treasury as soon as this resolution
goes through. The State treasurer says
that this prospective receipt has been
considered by him and is already mort
gagged and not available for this appro-
priation. The people of New Castle
county are aware how their money has
been squandered by their late Levy
Court. They know of the Washington
street bridge, of expensive repairs to
their court house, of that big coal pur-
chase; they know whom to blame for
the necessity that brings this demand
here. II this appropriation is granted it
will be needful to issue State bonds to
meet it.
Mr.. salisbury then smilingly called
for the vote upon the motion to indie
iinitely postpone, which resulted as a
tie, as follows:
Ayes-Brian, Dasey, Hail. Harring-
ton, Jacobs, Kenney, Lynch, Pratt,
Prettyman, Saulsbury-10.
Noes-Armstrong, Cooch, Day, Gam,
Hickman, Sevil, Spruance, Watkins,
Whittock, Speaker Whiteman-l0.
So the motion TO indefinitely postpone
was lost. Mr.. Hickman having entered
the House before the vote was taken, his
tie with Captain Dascy was off.
Mr.. salisbury then smilingly called
for the ayes and noes on the original
motion, to adopt the resolution. The
resolution was defeated by another tie
vote, as follows:
Ayes-Armstrong, Cooch, Day, Gam,
Hickman, Sevil, Spruance, Watkins,
| Whittock, Speaker Whteman-10.
Noes-Brian, Dasey, Hall, Harring-
ton, Jacobs, Kenney, Lynch, Pratt,
Prettyman, Saulsbury-l0.

TIE FARMERS INSTITUTE MEETING.
Possibly 100 persons gathered in the
court house this afternoon to hear, see
and take part in j. Alexander Fulton's
meeting; for that was what it amounted
to, though deuominated meeting of the
Kent County Farmers Institute. State
Treasurer Burnite presided, but Mr.
Fulton ran the meeting, which wa!
prosy and spiritless. Mr.. Fulton did the
most of the speaking, citing statistics
and refurbishing in a general way hi:
Equalization of taxation" theories o
, two years ago, but they did not awaken
the response of two years ago. unfortun
ately Mr.. Fulton did not go into the detail
of how diligently and tiresomely HI
had labored in the recent past t.
I "eaualize" taxation of his town lots il
! Doyer's new charter. This would hay,
, been more interesting. But he stirred vi
: DIR. Nathan Pratt to PROFOUND one o
, two troublesome conundrums. Mr.
Fulton, as two years age, had dwell
, upon the suppositious case of $4,000
farm, mortgaged for $4,000. He pic
! tured the holder of the mortgage lynn
: on his sofa, smoking fine cigars, AM
drawing his $500 interest, and he pic
, tured the farmer working hard from
daylight to dusk to feed and clothe hi
, family and pay that interest. Wha
! would happen, he asked, if the farme
; quit work, lay down OH a sofa an,
smoked away his time?
q Suppose, suggested DR.. Pratt, 9Th
/ farmer, instead of running this $1,000
farm himself, rented it out; wouldn'
a that put him on IL similar footing wit
, the bloated capitalist who holds til
!. mortgageG"
