person? Did the hypocr itical EUeYy
Evening ever depounce this crime
against citizens of Kent county-eyery
taxpayer in the county? No, and yet
it pirates of the duty of men TO pay
their taxes in person and deplores the
interest of regularly organized party
committee in looking after the taxes of
its party men to prevent just such mis-
erabIe scenes as the one referred to.
The Euery Evening urges colored men
to pay their own taxes and that is
right. But why does it urge it. Not
that they may be independent and
ffeemen, but that they may be at Ii
berty to listen again to the persuasive
tongue Of Willard Salisbury, Jr.,
scion of the great White Mans Party.
BAIL
The taxpayers are not such fools
that they do not want the taxes paid
even though 1T should give the Repub-
licans an even chance to win the elec-
tion. The hypocrisy and dishonesty of
the Erery Erening is not chargeable
to the Democratic Party and many
Democrats refuse 10 read the paper.
One of the highest Democratic officials
in this county said this week: II do not |
read the Erery Erening. l read every |
day an honest Democratic and an
honest Republican paper to get both

The Cecil Whig has given the record
in six cases tried under the Prohibi-
tory Law in their courts this fall. In
three of these cases the offenders were
Republicans and they were promptly
convicted; in the other three cases the
offenders were Dem. ocrats and they
were allowed to escape trial. The first
three are William Ragan, Henry Cor
daes and William Larue. lThe Demcs
Gratis are Thomas Grail, Joseph Veasey,
and the italian Masco. The Whig
gives the circumstanc in full, and
such betrayal OF justics is enough TO
condemn any cpurt in the minds of
the people. Delaware has been a suf-
ferer from partisan judge.sand now that
a chance is said to exist for changing
the political complexion of the judic-
iary there has been half hearted effort
to urge it upon Governor Watson.
But it will not be done. Another par
tisan will be put ON the bench as re-
ward for party Services. Some day
The people will get whack at these
matters and then partisanship shall
stand aside.

THE Independent Democrats In
Maryland appear to have great ad-
vantage over their opponents of the
German stripe. 1t appears that in 1882
and 1888 Mr.. Hurst, the Democratic
candidate for Governor this fall, de-
clared in the city election in Baltimore
that national politics have no proper
place in local government" and he
proceeded on that basis to Lolt hisparty
ticket. The Independent Democrats are
why they mya not cut the
offensive German ticket in 1895 as well
as Mr.. Hurst could cut the city
ticket in those years. And the ques-
tion is very appropriate one. With

The Republican Central Committee
and other prominent Republicans held
a meeting in Georgetoa last week.
1t was perfect love feas.. Every
thing passed off lovely. the bes. of
fe ling prevailed and everyone felt
confident of success next year with
proper effort. The outlook for sue
cess is much brighter than it was this
time two years ago. Democrats who
have been consoling themselves that
the Republicans of this county would
be split up into factions will find them
selves mistaken. There is determin-
alton to be united and to make old
Sussex solidly Republican. "-Susser
Republican.
Anyone who knows Sussex county
we'll, must know that without the
election machinery, the manipulation
of the assessment lists, and the use of
money, it is naturally Republican. It
was an old Whig country in the days
of John M. Clayton and the Whig in
auence lives there to-day in the hearts
of the people. In many elections where
New Castle and Kent have been over
whelmingly Democratic, old Sussex has
been held in the Democratic column
with the greatest difficulty. And the
news that comes from the County
Committee is very cheering. 1t is what
it should be not only there but every
where in this Stale.
The greatest weakness in Sussex
has been, as it has been at other points,
the differences among local leaders.
Where no man held by general con-
sent The position of leader much energy
hat should have been expended on The
enemy was wasted in scoring for points
against each other. The people recog-
nize this andthe whole tendency in such
cases is to discourage. We trust such
feeling has been buried; according to |
he SUSSEX Republican it has been, and |
we may look for excellent results from |

WORK IN THE SCHOOLS.

Supt. TindaI, in his visits to the
schools this fall, reports that he finds
much more to commend in the work of
the teachers than any previous rounds
of visits. Teachers appear to be more
familiar with the subjects they are
teaching, better acquainted with right
ways of teaching these subjects and
fuller of zeal. 1t is not unusual now
to find pupils reading little short easy
sentences at the end of The first month
of school. In one school the teacher
called out a little class to the black
board and began to write little sem
tences which the pupils read as fast as
the teachers could write. These pupils
had been in school less than five weeks.
They knew sixty words and could read
fluently SO long as the teacher con-
fined her sentences to those words.
The teacher reported that .hese pupils
were learning words at the rate of two
or three day. This is as great an
improvement over the old a., b, c.
method as the railroad is over the old
time coach, and the teacher who does
not catch on is considered very slow
DeldtUdreGn.
For twenty years past We have been
hearing the same old story, "the i'm
provements in the schools" and we
doubt not it is true in individual cases,
but there is the same lack of system in
our schools that has existed since
Judge Hall founded them, except that
the so-called system has been patched
here and there until the original is
scarcely recognizable. Every superin-
tendent's report 'points.out"lhe wonder
full impl ovements" and yet we are told
in the above clipping that only this
year has the great Improvement
shown itself. and reading between the |
lines it is credited to the superintend-
ent's summer school of methods.
Those may be all right and good in
their way but Delaware should have a |
Normal School, training school free
to the present teacher, and Delaware
College should furnish it. There is
enough money spent or Delaware Col
lege to do this and then the State
would receive some general good from
The college.
"The teacher should catch on.n
That is good. But few cities in the
60 untry spends more money on its
schools than Los Angeles California.
Every spring they hold there a flower
festival, La Fiesta, that occupies
he entire week. The school children

OPPOSING TAX PAYMENT.

AS usual the Every EUening is oppos-
ing the interests of the tax payers for
the benefit of party. 1t is bowling
against the interest taken by the First
District Republican Committee in the
payment of taxes. 1t knows that a
partisan tax collector may be trusted
to throw every difficulty possible in the
way of the payment of taxes by Re-
publicans individually, the law being
interpreted that Republicans mustpay
their taxes in person while the collec-
tor allows the Democratic leaders to
pay the taxes of Democrats in bulk, or
they are not paid at all but voters are
furnished tax receipts without money
and without price. Laboring men in
the city Of Wilmington have spent in
lost time three and four times the
amount of their tax in the effort to
make the payment. Such men are the
bone and sinew Of the country, its
strong right arm, and all honor to
them. But the EUery Erening knows
that all men will not do this, all men
cannot afford to do it, because their
time is not their own and some because
they cannot stand the physical strain
of waiting In line for hours To pay tax.
Has the EUery Evening forgot Ell the
determination of the men few years
ago whose rights 10 pay their taxes
were being trifled with and how The
frightened collector after going out Of |
the lack window returned to do in, a
measure his duty, not willingly but be-
cause of the heroic determination of
aroused freemen.
Yes; every man s!iGuld pay his own
taxes and lie should enjoy that piivi-
Iege at any time, but in Delaware he
does not. By-means of d disfranchis-
ing law the party in power has every
advantage and it is used. Did MI

politicians hide the East Dayer HI n
