Here is the kind of stuff that the Mil
ford Chronicle publishes concerning the
matter of representation IN the Legisla-
ture:
clamor for representation according to
population has been made from some
parts of New Castle county, Kent and
Sussex counties are bound to prevent this
in -protection-and If all other meas
ures fail no concessions in this line should
he made. Give the balance of power to
the city of Wilmington, and the lower
part OF the State would be entirely ignored.
u would be Talnmanyism transferred
from New York to Delaware. It is neces-
sary for self-proteCtion to maintain repre-
sentatIon in our Legislature practically as
the Constitution provided, with possibly
an extra Senator and two Representatives
from Wilmington city-that would not be
unfair-but it is dangerous sublec. to
handle and will require cool heads to
consider il.
/ We fear that the editor has notion
that the people of New Castle county,
particularly those living in Whining
ton, are dangerous and unenlightcned
aliens who cannot safely be given much
share in governing Delaware. He does
not realize that we are Dclawareans
who love the State just as the good
citizens of Milford do. We do not claim
to be any better, but those of us who
live north of the Kent county line are,
man for man, just as good citizens as
those who live south of it. There
is no clamor about it; but there is a
calm expectation that when the new
constitution is written our brethren in
Kent and Sussex will unite with us in
fixing representation in the Legislature
upon just and equitable basis.

The Democrats had u majority in both
branches of the SD Congress and are
responsible for its doings. As it passes
into history we must admit that its
record is far from creditable. But
comparison of the 53d Congress with
the 5lst (the last Congress which the
Republicans controlled in both branches
the Reed Congress) leaves the Repub-
licans no room to boast. The Reed Con-
gress was responsible for the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, the false
counting Of quorums and the attempted
Force bill. 1t was even more unpopular
in 1891, when it gave up the ghost, than
this Congress is now. There is this diff.
ference between the 5lst and SD Con-
gress: The 51st became odious because
it applied the principles Of the Republi-
can party to legislation; the SD became
contemplate because it refused to apply
the principles of the Democratic party
to legislation.

Unequal Taxation.

The House bill entitled IAN act to
equalize taxation for county purposes"
would make taxation very unequal.
For instance, Mr.. Smith holds deed
for farm and Mr.. Jones holds mort
gage on It, The farm is the property
represented by both deed and mortgage.
Under this bill double tax would be
collected from that property, for Mr..
Smith pays his full tax on the farm Just
as If there were no mortgage, while Mr..
Jones in addition would be taxed on the
mortgage. The mortgaged farm would
thus be doubly taxed.
This bill would put similar double
tax on manufacturing enterprises when
carried ON by stock companies.
Take two manufacturing plants side
by side, doing the same amount of bust.
ness and owning plants of equal value.
One is owned and operated by one man
Or by partnership. 1t pays tax ON its
real estate and pays the State tax on
manufacturers. The other is owned
and operated by stock company. 1t
pays the same tax that the other does,
and in addition this bill would put tax
on every share of stock which tells of
the ownership of the property and husi-
ness already taxed. In effect, the prop
erty and business of the stock company
would be burdened by double and
unpnual fay

who gave 81 900 says he intends to live on

between $50 900 and $4,000 will be raised

The Hons of contsntIon.

The Delaware correspondent of tue
Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican
paper, in his letter Sunday let cat
out Of the bag, In discussing the Sena-
torial deadlock he said 1.-THE friends Of
Mr.. Addicks have been asked to turn in
and elect Senator Higgins, while the
friends of the Senator would in turn
help Mr. Addichs four years from now.
They have replied by suggesting that
Senator Higgins now assist in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Addicks, while Mr.. Addicks
would in turn assist Mr.. Higgins four
years hence"
In the light OF this attempted deal, the
hypocrisy Of the holier-than-th cam
paign against Mr.. Addicks is very plain.
We have hitherto pointed out that in
1899 Mr.. Higgins was committed to Mr..
Addicks' interest as a successor TO Sena-
tor Gray. Now it transpires that Mr.,
Higgins has proposed to support Mr..
Addicks again in 1898.
Mr.. Higgins does not really object to
Mr.. Addicks' character or to his place of
residence or TO his corrupt use of money.
In truth he regards him as well fitted to
be colleague in the Senate. But he OBJ
jects to him as successor.
The fight between the two men is a
quarrel between two politicians who
want the same office. On high and patri-
otto grounds there is no choice between
them.
The contest over bone can always be
compromised If either of the canine war
riors will be content to wait for the next
bone. The trouble with the deal which
the Inquirer exposes is that neither Mr..
Addicks nor Mr.. Higgins is willing to
wait four years. Hence the deadlock.
