maintain their streets This is be-
yond control of the Levy Court, be-
cause the amounts are stated in the
acts of charter passed BY the Legis-
lature. Seaford receives double the
amount given to South Milford
although the difference in population
is probably in favor of the latter
place. Lewes receives six hundred
dollars from the county to maintain
her streets, and does not expend
much over half of that amount for
this purpose. South Milford with
fifteen hundred and more population
receives only two hundred and fifty
dollars annually, and spends over
four hundred in maintenance Of
streets and bridges.
The custom of grabbing and over
charging has grown until it is rec
ognized as a county system sane
toned by the people, if not by law.
We now have a county Indebtedness
somewhere between fifty and sew
enty-fve thousand dollars-no one
knows just how much and the county
credit has almost reached bottom
under the present form Of govern
ment. Relief must come from the
people themselves, and it can come
only by their discussion of this sub
ject and arrival at some logical con-
clusion as to how,a and by what means
the change must be effected. Polit-
ical platforms are mere platitudes,
and the only consistent way to effect
reform is by concerted action of the
people.

Go onlal Exhibits

The Delaware Committee on Colonial Ex-
hibits for the Columbian Exposition desires
the names and addresses of any persons in
the State who own, and would be willing to
| lend portraits, miniatures, fans, china, glass
silver, historic documents or any other arti-
cles which can be authenticated as belong
| ing to the Colonial aud Revolutionary per
iod. Space for this exhibit has, with much
difficulty, been secured in the government
building in Chicago II is in close proxim-
ity to the department of State and Justice,
where will be displayed the original Declsr-
alton of independence, the Constitution of the
United States, and many other historic and
valuable documents. The whole Govern
meut Building will be paIolled by large
force, day and night, and even safeguard
taken to protect the articles therein dis
played. The Colonial exhibit will share the
same special care.
The beautiful space assigned is in the ro-
tunda of the building It contains six al
coves, in which will be placed the Colonial
relics of the original thirteen colonies Over
each exhibit will be a shield with the name
and coat of arms of its State.
Contributors to this interesting and historic
feature of the exposition may be assured that
whatever they will kindly lend will be care
fully packed, and at the close OF the exposi-
tion returned to the owners.
As the space given by the government to
the Colonial Committee is necessarily limi-
ted. All furniture aud clothing has been ex-
cluded
There will be wall space for portraits, and
small articles will be put in glass cases, which
will be locked and the keys held by the rep |
resentative ofeach State on the Colonial Com
mittee.
The government obligates itself to no out |
lay for this exhibit; each State must defray
the cost of installation, packing and transpor-
tation. Delaware has no appropriation for
Colonial Work; but, if all who eau help, will
give an immediate repsonse, her niche in
the wall will not be empty. Address all
commu nications to

EX-SENATOR ELI SALISBURY, who
has gone to join the great majority,
was not a great man, and yet he
maintained a very respectable stand
ing in the Senate. Several years ago
he made a speech which was quite
noticeable for vigor. 1t was on the
question of reorganizing the Senate.
A Republican contemporary admit
ted that he made his political adver-
saries writhe as he spoke of the pro-
posed action. This is, however, the
only occasion which we remember
when he distinguished himself But
his habits were good his private char
acter unassailable, and if he brought
no special honor upon the State, he
did not disgrace it.

OFFICE SEEKING on a large scale
dates from Jackson's administration.
Prior TO that there were few changes
in subordinate offices when an ad-
ministration was changed. Old Hick-
ory inaugurated the spoil systems,
and during the following thirty years
it grew to enormous proportions.
Scarcely any Office holder was al
lowed to keep his place unless he
was in accord with the dominant
party. With the great increase in
the number of offices, the burden Of
appointment became crushing and we
suppose there are aiew no matter how
strongly partisan people may be,
who would favor the sweeping sys-
TEN that prevailed fifteen or twenty
years ago.

Washington has had, during the
last three weeks a very large tran
cient population, the bulk of this
has been made up of unhappy office
seekers whose hearts have become
sick because af hope deferred. To
these are to be added a large num-
of Democratic Congressman and
other magnates who have been urg-
ing the claims of the seekers. These
are saving that the businessis a very
unpleasant one. Doubtless it is; the
administration gives them little
comfort. 1t ought not to be a
surprise however, for Cleveland pur-
sued the same course during his first
term and he may be expected to do
so to the end, especially as he is not
expecting a third term. He has
therefore every inducement to re-
sist those who wish to "revel in par
