and it trlhed with 1t and threw it away.
What the people thought about it was
expressed very plainly at the polls last
November. What they may have to
say further on the same subject remains
to be seen. But all this is a thrice e-told
tale and one in which the public is not
specially interested at present. What
the country is interested in is the fact
that the long lane of financial depres-
sion is at last turning and leading to
better things that the heavy load and
menace of congressional incompetence
is about to be removed, and that people
can once more devote themselves to
their regular enterprises and aVOcatiOns
without the fear of dangerous legisla-
ton before their eyes. This is unques-
tionably the meaning of the improved
business tone and the signs of renewed
activity that have been apparent of
late. One of the princi pal causes of
the long period of business sluggishness
through which we have been passing
has been lack of confidence in Congress
and uncertainty as to what it might do.
The Democratic party, or rather its
representatives in Congress have been
so undecided and vacillating upon
questions of policy and principal that
no calculation could be made as to their
course, and no prediction as to what a
day or a week might bring forth. Now,
however, that this Congress of factions
leaves us, confidence is rapidly return
ing and the situation is growing
brighter and more cheerful every day.

terminated fatally. He was a man Of

the most of his spare time in reading

of the day, and before his sickness
would have passed for ten wears
younger than he was. He was mem

T. B. COURsEY writes to the Sentinel
complaining of the injustice of making
persons owning property drive or walk
eight or ten miles every election year
to be registered; once registering should
be sufficient, as long as a voters name
remains on the assessors books, and
they should not come off that unless
he leaves the county. A man assessed
for a poll tax should remain on the as
sessor's books, and if in arrear of taxes
should be so marked, but allowed to
pay and qualify at any time prior to
the election. The tax of a lsboring
man, he thinks, should not be more
than 60 cents, and that of a mechanic
or factory hand 81, and he should pay it
himself, or be disqualified. A man that
has not interest enough in an election
to pay this paltry sum has not much to
lose. The Levy Court should be so ar
ranged also as to have a minority rep
resentation, within one member of the
majority.

Women in the Halls of Legislation.


Col Robert Hill of this town was one
of the men who was in the State House
Thursday when Mr.. Mnstard's bill
was brought up to repeal the "bottle
law" that was enacted by the last I.egis.
lature. He saw number of intelli
gent, we'll dressed ladies enter the
House of Representatives whose pur.
pose at first he did not know, but he
soon found the bottle bill" was to
come up on its third reading When
the question was put on the passage
of the bill repeating the act it was
found that the vote of every member
present was recorded yea but that of
the Speaker. The triumph was so
complete, and possibly surprise from
the almost unanimous vote, that Mrs.
Waloott was impelled to raise her
voice in an ascrpuon of blessing, the
other ladies joing her in singing the
DOxOlOgy 'Praige God from whom all
blessings fiow". Mr.. Hill saws he
never heard it sung so sweetly-with
such Overhowing hearts. 1t was an
innovation, but an impressive one.
The bill has yet to go through the
Senate. The same party regards the
passage of such an act to corrupt the
morals of the young as this an out
rage on any community, and declared
to a senator that he would not, and
there were hundreds of other like
himself lif 1t should fail in this Legis-
lature) who would vote for any man
at the next election who would not
favor its repeal

The persistent efforts of godly wO-
men has had a marked effect in in
fuencing legislation. They work from
"a purer impulse and look at things from
a higher elevation than do most public
men. When they first went before our
legislature ten or twelve years ago
asking a change in the law (which had
only all these years thrown protection
around the female sex up to the age of
seven years. they were looked at ask
aDce, very much as intruders, and
could only get their reasonable plea OF
making the age of consent Is years a
law by compromising it at is years,
some not wanting to go beyond II
years. The bill last week changing it
from 10 to Is years went through the
House without division and is likely
soon to become a permanent law. 1t
might have gone another century had
women not have taken hold of it.

The Senate of the Delaware Legis-
lature is not large body, but it is
large enough to take some cognizance
of things outside of the political realm.
A bill had passed the House protecting
the singing birds in the State 1--WE do
not know just its prOvisiOns) but when
it reached the Senate, this body uncere.
moniously tabled it. To say nothing
of their charm of song, they are the
most welcome of summer visitors, are
insectiverOHs, and should be protected
in both their nests and young. The
Senate in killing the bill did very
ungracious thing.

people the tendency of which was 10

THE Middletown Transcript an
nounced Saturday that the control of
the late management would cease with
that issue, the paper having been sold
to Mr.. McKendree Downham, who will
continue it as a Republican paper. He
was associated with J. B. Clark
in the management of the Sus-
SEE journal, at Georgetown, and we
greet with pleasure his advent again
into the ranks of journalism, for which
by experience, taste and qualification
he is so we'll fitted. Mr.. Downham has
been West for the last year or two, on
visit to relatives more than perma-
nent business, and we are pleased to
see him return to his native State to
blend his destiny with hers, and take a
hand in shaping her general progress.

1t is fact as its final session draws to

bowl is about To be broken. On the
