TOnJ mas 70 valid claim to seat in the
U. ,. Senate. All the parties to the
plot to defeat the election of a Senator
from Delaware stoutly stand by their
lnter-party agreement, and evidently
not one of them has any sense of shame
at their outrage of political decency.

The Susser Republican, published at
| Georgetown, has finished its ninth year
and Editor Davis, in taking peep at
himself, says: with this issue we
complete our ninth volume. Like
many other newspaper enterprises the
! first six years was a struggle for exist
enCe. The past three years have been
years of increasing prosperity, until we
now claim to have the most complete
office, and the largest circulation of
any weekly newspaper published in
the State, and as loyal a constituency
as any paper ever had.
Wilmington is having a perfect har-
vest of June weddings. The notion
that welded life is the only way
to go through this world of tears
has made business good in the office of
the Clerk of Peace as well as given the
ministers chance to earn pin money
for the summer. The population of
that city should not certainly be on
the decrease for the next ten wears
The ministers should see that the
GOrdian Knot is tied so tight no divorce
courts should be called upon to undo
their wOrk.-DGiIy Republican.
SINGLE TAX ADvOCATEs.-The ad.
vOcates of the Single Tax doctrine are
making a determined effort to spread
their theories throughout Delaware.
| Meetings were held Saturday night at
Newark, Delaware City, Hockessin,
etc A delegation of about twenty
speakers, sent out by the Single Tax
organization of Philadelphia, are tour
ing the State on foot, talking to the
people along the road and holding i'm
| promptu meetings at each place where
they stay over night.
SMYRNA AFTER BICYCLIsTs. .-Smv.
rna is the latest town which has started
! crusade against reckless bicyclsts.
1t is claimed that some of the riders
who have been using the streets for a
race course have narrowly escaped seri-
Gus accidents both to themselves and
to other people. DIR. r. G. Moore.
who is member of the Town Council,
has given notice that at the next meet
ing of Council he will introduce an
ordinance to fine any bicyclist who
rides at night without a lantern. Morn

PEACHEs.-The Delaware Railroad
IS having estimates made of the prob
able number of baskets of peaches that
will be shipped from each station on its
lines and branches. Some of the Ellen
dale peach authorities place the num-
ber of baskets that will be shipped from
that station as high as 100000 baskets.
The growers about Wyoming place
their crop at from one.thrd to one half
that of two years ago. The earliest
peaches will be sent from Delaware in
about two weeks, but good fruit will
not ripen here before the first of Au-
gust.-MlfOrd NeCs.

for the Levy Court of New Castle
County was at Lewes, last week, and
was Interviewed by Captain Lyons on
the Senatorial question. Captain
Lyons. who is a Republican, asked :
"Will Colonel DUPONT be seated ?"
Certainly not, said Mr.. Rodney: "he
has not a particle of right to be seated -
Let US suppose, Mr.. Rodney" con-

THAT TROLLEY AGAIN. The Dover
Milford Trolley Company has, after
considerable a contest, secured from
the Town Council of Dover the privi.
lege of operating its proposed line
through the streets of that town. The
managers of the proposed trolley now
say that work on the line will be COM
menced in August, but probably not
completed this year. The Town Coun.
Gil of Dover had doubts that tie road
would ever be built, and that it was a
bona hde enterprise. The people OIL
Milford have the same feeling, but the
Town Council of Milford do not seem
to object to the trouble the formulation
of restrictions imposes on them, and
most of the members are disposed to
give the trolley what it wants.

PRICES AND RAILROAD CHARGES
Says the Milford Chronicle: The
enormous reduction in railroad charges
which the Baltimore Sun refers to has
reached all parts of the country witt
the exception of this little State o.
Delaware. The reduction here is SO
small indeed that it cannot be dis
covered by even the most careful
statistician. A car load of peaches
eight hundred baskets, weighing twelve
tons, cost from Milford to Boston two
hundred and twenty-seven dollars, Ol
nineteen dollars ton in car load lots
Where is the reduction here? A grea
railroad attorney, with Offices on Wal
street, New York, said few years age
that the carloads could make money
by hauling peaches from Delaware
growers to Boston for forty-fve dollars
a car, and he added, "if there was com
petition in Delaware in this line tbs
peaches would be carried for this
money" Here is an Over.chargC
OF one hundred and eighty-twC
dollars car, If this gentleman of ex-
perience knows what he is talking
about. Is there not wisdom in thC
Pennsylvania railroads owning th,
dominant party in Delaware,- owning
