Vox Ponnli.

Memory is that faculty of the mind by
which we can brace or recall past scenes OF
events aud particularly that part what we
took in them, and the spirit which was man
ifested, whether of pleasure or pain. Con
science is a power implanted within US BY
which we perceive right from wreng, This
faculty is given the heathen-those who
have never had the law but are law unto
themselves-their conscience bearing wit
ness either accusing or excusing one another
More than six months ago the old academy
which stands in front of the new public
school building in our town, and used as a
work shop and general lumber depot, has
long since become useless in that direction
and is now a constant menace to the looks
of that beautiful structure. The danger
which is engeudered by their close prox.
imiy to each other twerty feep is great.
The trustees have promised time and again
to remove it; but time AID memory have
failed them Nov the people speak in no
uncertain sound and say it must be done.
and that too, at an early day.
These thoughts are only intended as re-
miuders, but if there is no action soon in
that direction we promise, you will hear

titled 10 the honor, by every claim
that can be urged and he is the one
man Of all who should be honored.
But the members have for weeks
and months been blind idolators Of
men refusing to consult, selfopinion-
ated and regardless of the future.
This may have been excusahlr e
vious to the death of Governor Mar
vii, but they have now come to the
parting of the ways, and they must
bear in mind, that, while they are
representative of, they are not the
whole Republican party OF Delaware.
Divesting themselves of personal
feelings, they must get together on
the Senatorial question, and that in
a very brief time.

THE time is now at hand when
the men who were elected by the
Republican party to membership in
the General Assembly, shall remem-
Der that those who voted for them
are Republicans and desire the best
interests Of their party to be served
but above all, the best interests Of
the country and State must be ever
held in view. It is time to drop
personal feelings, and act with fore
thought and common sense. It is
time for them to recognize the fact,
that the appointing power in Della
ware is a Democrat, and should the
Legislature adjourn without electing
some one to the Senate, Governor
Watson will appoint a Democrat to
Gil the vacancy for two years. It is
time for childish animosity to be laid
aside and the ranking passions that
prevent calm consideration be sub
lued. Mr.. Addicka is justly en-

SECRETARY MoRToN's serious an
nouncement of his intention to use
the machinery of the Department OF
Agriculture to make an investiga-
tiOn in order to ascertain if there is
beef trust, which is responible
for the recent sudden and continuing
rise in the price Of beef, is enough
to bring a solemn smile to the face
of all the COWS on the western plains
IfMr. Morton was honest in making
that announcement his ignorance is
greatly to be deplored, as it is fact
well known to thousands that there
is beef trust composed of about
all of the big meat packers, which
has for some time been slowly but
surely forcing the local butchers in
all towns of considerable size out
Of business, in order that the trust
could dictate prices without fear Of
opposition. The time has apparently
come and the trust is putting on the
screws. There is an antitrust law
which might be used TO annoy the
beef trust, even if nothing more
could be done under its provisions
if Attorney General Olney so willed
The administration is apparently
satisfied to let the case rest on Sec
Rotary Morton's promise to investi
gate, meanwhile the people can
choose between paying the prices
demanded by the trust or stop their
beef supply.

and Pierce opposed it. The discussion was
in progress when the hour for recess came.
Afser long debate the House laid on the
table the House bill to protect the horticul-
tural interests Of the State. It's opponents in,
sinuated that it is a special constables' bill
in disguise
The House, after lively discussion, re-
committed the joint resolution 20 appropri-
ate $4,000 for the outlayiug wards at the
State Hospital for the Insane. The chef
objection was that the general fund will
not permit such an appropriation.

If it was necessary in 1885 that a
special election should take place to
fill vacancy by reason of the incl
igibility of VIM. T. Watson to take
his seat at that time, it is necessary
to hold a special election now to fill
the vacancy in the Senate, by reason
of his elevation to the office of Gov
ernor. The offices of Governor and
State Senator can not be held at the
same time by one man in accordance
with the Constitution. Ifsuch were
the case Governor Watson would
draw salary as Governor and Senator
at the same time while only exercis-
ing the duties of one office. Not act
ing as Senator, Kent county has a
vacancy in the Senate. 1t is legal to
hold a special election and not to do
so casts a shadow upon all legisla-
ton for the balance of the session.
Kent county returns last November
showed a Democratic majority of
about forty, and that party should
not be afraid to hold an election to
fill the vacancy.

as we honor Governor Watson per-
sonally,we regret that the will ofthe
people Of Delaware as expressed at
the polls last November, should be
overthrow and their ideas fail to

their chief. In no other State can
