comes to a standstll The train will some
times stop so suddenly as to break the car

SINCE last weeks issue of the
Ne,Cs and Advertiser intended to
cover this paper with a sense Of
shame and make its editor sorry that
it ever existed we suppose we ought
to apologize for the audacity Of issu-
ing another edition or at least refrain
from mentioning any thing bordering
on politics-especially if it does not
coincide with the Higgins collar riv.
eted on the neck of the Ne,Cs and
Advertiser by golden bands paid to
close its yelping mouth at Senator
Higgins heels some years ago. But
for some reason we don't feel had.
The CHRONICLE and its editor is on
the contrary, pleased, that it has
touched a spot under the callous
conscience of the Neios, and caused
it to strike back in its feeble way.
With the people of Milford and vi
cinity, its vaporings has no weight
whatever, and that those unac-
quainted with the pesky little cuss
mily know the harmless nature of its
attack, is the only excuse we shall
offer for SO much free advertising of
the Nei0s.
We pity the Neaos and the unenvia-

More water is to be poured into the sieve.
In other words, the administration has de
cided to seold Congress and issue more
bonds to replenish the gold in the Treasury
and to meet the expenditures of the gov
eminent. Knowing the sensitiveness of
business, the Republicans in Congress
have purpoSely refrained from saving much
that might have been said about the posi-
ton the administration has taken upon
financial matters, preferring to lose oppor-
tunities to make party capital to arouslng
public sentiment which might prove detri-
mental to the great business interest of the
country. 1t was the same feeling which
prompted the Republican leaders when ap-
preached by the Democrats to say that
they would offer no faetious opposition to
any measure that promised to be Of the
slightest assistance to the Treasury, and to
advise the Democrats that the best thing
his Congress could do fer the Treasury
was to amend the tariff 50 as to Increase
he revenue This advice might have
,orne good fruit, but Mr.. Cleveland, with
lis usual obstinaey, prevented it by an
pompously that legislation to TO-.
rease the revenue would not be satisfac-
1ry to him. Sc Congress has done moth

AN effort has been made by the
Dover Race Track Association to get
a two thousand dollar app piopriation
from the State treasury to maintain
the Dover race course-better known
as 'Dover Fair" and that is a good
measure for the members to squeleh
and very emphatically. There is no
reason why the people of Delaware
should go into the racing business.
Fast horses are not produced in this
State,so that would be no reason for
as to engage in horse racing; and,
as the argument that the appropria-
ton will be used to pay premiums to
farmers is all bOsh, it is a duty the
Legislature owes the people to set
down heavy on this scheme to loot
the treasury of money for a gam
bling purpose.

GEoReE = MASSEY has been or.
dersd to get out Of the Senatorial
race by Washington Hastings, but
up to date Mr.. Massey has had the
temerity to disregard this pigmy
would.be dictator. As Mr.. Massey
has larger, more important and a
much more profitable future before
him in the Pennsylvania railroad, it
is very improbable that he would
accept the United States SeDatorship
if elected but this does not prevent
him from repaying the old score of
1889 to Senator Higgins, who made
Mr.. Massey's election at that time
impossible and pIucled the plum for
himself. Mr.. Massey is doing moth
ing to urge his friends on, or to call
them of, and in the meantime Mr.
Hastings and Mr. Higgins with their
friends are stewing in their own
grease, while Addicks sits serenely |
by waiting for them to come to their
senses and realize that others have
rights and opinions in the Republi-
can party that must be respected.
"Rule or ruin, "my way, or | won't
play" has been the motto Of Hig-
and in this Senatorial fight,
every man who has opposed them
has been cursed branded as a traitor,
Or charged with corruptly taking
,ribes, and by these methods they :
AVE attempted to beat down all OPP
,osition; but they won't be any more :

ctive hand in the contests the men =
rho are supporting him would not i

to refer to this subject again. and
while on it will give few facts per
sonal and otherwise. First we will
compare the time since 1886 when
the CHRONICLE came under our full
control. with that Of the Negs and
Advertiser During all these years
the CHRONICLE has been straight
out Republican paper. and recog
nized as such all over Delaware. Il
has not made, neither has it at
tempted to mske deals With any
Democrat Can the Nel0s say as
much and tell the truth f? 1t received
public printing because of its pro
nouncee Republican principles, from
Democratic officials, because the
law compelled such printing to lie
divided hetween the papers Of oppo.
site political opinions; on the same
principle as the Negs received the
same public printing in Kent county,
Without extending the case we nov
part company and leave the Negs
to account for facts in its history
well known, and which can be cor
robOrated by affidavit if required.
Under It's present management the
Neacs and AdUertiser has fallen from
its honored place in journalism and
the Republican party OF Delaware,
and 1t has been held in the list OF
Republican papers only by most lib
eral use of money and official posi-
ton for It's editor. In 1890 or 1891
syndicate was formed which sub.
scribed enough money (but in real
ity it was given) and bought con.
trolling interest in the stock of the
Nel0s-much of which the editor has
since bought back for few cents or
the dollar. The reason for this
movement by the Republicans, was
to prevent the sale of the Neuos (afte1
its editor was snugly fixed away in
Washington) TO the Democratic
party. This little contribution
(forced, it is true) is not the only
black spot in its recent history
(there are many others from 1889 up
to date) for this had an element OF
business in the deal After the cleo
tion of 1892 had thrown the govern
ment into Democratic hands and
Mr.. Cleveland had GOT control, the
editor of the Neaos made overtures
to the Democrats tor the purpose of
retaining his Office in Washington.
and conditioned that the News and
Advertiser should support the Dem
ocratic party in 1894. These over
lures were spurned by the Demo-
Gratis, and the NeDs saved from be-
coming a Democratic organ and its
editor an open traitor to his party.
This is the recent history of the
Ne,0s and AdUertiser under its pres
ent directorship. We have no de-
sire to enter into the coarse language
of blackguard or we would end this
bret statement of well known fact
to several Democrats. as the Ne,os
closed its attack last week; but
there have been Judas lscariots be-
fore the editor of the News was born
and The vicissitudes of life have
only produced another, whose price
is only few pieces of silver, and
that paid in advance.

EVERY bill, private or public,
brought before theLegislature should
be printed, and at least enough cop
les distributed to give each member
two each. This will ensure better
legislation, because legislators will
have opportunity to look into the
proposed laws. At the last session
such a resolution was adopted, but
the lobbyists succeeded in having it
rescinded, that they could rush
through partisan and private meas
ures. Too much publicity cannot
be given to public laws, and the peo-
pie will not object to their printing ;
while private bills should be paid for
by those interested in them.

So long as school taxes are collec-
ted by districts, the Legislature will
be deluged with bills transferring
farms from one district to another.
Such transfers are generally for the
purpose of escaping tax to support
good schools. If school tax was
levied by fixed per centage by the
Levy Court, and collected as is the
general fund, transfers from one dis
trict to another would be rare. A
fixed percentage on the assessment
to be collected and turned over to
the County Treasurer, would pro-
duce more uniformity in the schools,
and compel all to bear their just bur-
then of taxation. We hope a bill
with this object in view will be in
troduced and be enacted into law by
the Legislature.
