WE see with pleasure that Sena-
tor Harrington has introduced an act
in the Legislature requiring road
overseers in Kent county to leave or
make a path for pedestrian travellers.
The comfort Of this class has been
generally ignored by the officials in
road making, who have ruthlessly
torn up the well-beaten path and
left those who walk to trudge in the
dust. The act, however, ought to in

Two measures have been intro
duced into the Legislature which
raises the question of representation
in the Constitutional Convention to
be held. The bill introduced by
Senator Pyle, of New Castle county
grants thirty from the entire State,
and apportions them equally be-
tween the three counties. Repre-.
sentative Walker has introduced a
bill that provides forty for the State
and apportions twenty to New Castle
and Wilmington-whose interests
are now practically the same.
Should this measure carry, the con-
vention would in all probability be
controlled by the twenty men from
the upper county, and a new consti-
tuition framed that would give to
New Castle county representation
according to population, and, having
the votes at the general election,
that county would adopt it, thereby
controlling the entire State. Re
publicans and Democrats of Kent
and Sussex are opposed to this, and
It would be wisdom on the part Of
the rnenohara in the General A Assem-
bly, from these counties to bear this
point in mind.
New York, Philadelphia and other
cities are not granted representation
according to population. simply be-
cause Of the makeup and interests
of their population. 1t would be
unfair. In Wilmington, hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, of men are
bound together by unity OF business
interests, while in the lower counties.
and even rsral New Castle, only
a few score of men even in agricul-
ture are alike interested.
This in itself forms the basis of
control in State affairs with repre-
Ientation according to population.
For that reason Kent and Sussex
favor the basis Of representation by
Senator Pyle's bill
We believe there would be nothing
nnfair in giving increased represen-
alton to the people of New Castle
,ounty if the rural districts and the
interests Of the city Of Wilmington
,ould be divorced, and this can be t
lone by dividing the county. Make g
rom Wilmington and Brandywine
undred-W Wilmington County-and i
be balance Of the county then con- S
titute New Castle county. The /
liter already has the old court house $
nd jail, while Wilmington has the i.
ew Court House and could build a q
sw Jail. The present almshouse
,uld be used jointly. y, y

FRIDAY, MARCH 7.


Those interested in the bill appropriating
$1,000 year for the Delaware State Fair at
Dover-both for aud against the project
were given hearing by the House. There
was a good sized delegation present
Robert Lewis opened for those who op-
/ posed the bill He presented remonstrances
against the bill. They were not numerously
signed, he said, as it was hard to get to all Of
the farmers The petitions we're signed by
a large number of farmers. They, he said,
were not in favor Of the appropriation, and
nine out Of ten Of them were against the ap-
preparation. Some farmers refused to sign
the remoustrances because they wanted the
fair to pay them back premiums and be
lieved that this could not be done unless the
appropriation is made. A number of mer-
chants who pay the taxes of the State were
also opposed to the appropriation te the fair.
The fair is not benefit to the farmer, though
that is the ground upon which the appropn
alton is asked If this bill is passed it will
be opening the door to every one who wants
some help in his private business, The fair
has been run in the hopes of making it pay
aud with that intention. The fair was run as
a money making concern, and the reason that
it has not been a success is because the mau-
agement has attempted to run a worlds fair
instead of state fair Now they ask for an
appropriation to help them out. If they |
need help let them reduce their expenses
and rHn fair on economic principles. The
concern has paid all of its foreign creditors
and new it asks the State to pay its home
creditors.
Ifthis concern is helped out there will be
plenty Of others who will come to the Gen
eral Assembly for help. It has been asserted
that the railroads and the merchants pay all
Of the taxes but the tax must come out Of the
people indirectly. When the State put tax
on railroad companies tickets were put up /
IN price and the same was true when the
state put a tax on express companies. Mr. J
,ewis spoke for nearly an hour and then pre-
ented his remonstrances. {
Mr.. Sypherd by request read The bill which \
$ now before the General Assembly which /
ives the fair association $1,000 year c
Mr.. Sypherd also read an amendment
'hich provided that none Of the appropria- Il

Il is said on good authority that the con-

in the matter are said TO have been surprised
at the cold water thrown upon the prospect
by the leaders of the Democratic party and
also the members ofthe Senate. All seemed
to be in favor Of the scheme except a dozen
Democrats or so in Sussex county. The
members of the Senate were, in several, or
perhaps all cases, against the contest and the
Republicans, were also ready to show up con
siderable Democratic fraud at the election, so
that it was thought best to drop the whole
matter. For this reason it is probable that
the whole matter will drop out Of sight. This
will be welcome news to most of the Demo
Gratis who were opposed to the contest.

General Appropriation Bill.

1t carries an appropriation amounting to
81, O90, S2S3 The total amount OF this
bill is S5S, 900 less than the total amount
of the like bill introduced two years ago.
One item which causes this reduction is
the absence of the temporary loan of $780,
900 that appeared in the other. Tho in
tcrest appropriation is $4,000 less than
two years ago.
