THERE never has been day in The
history of the Republican party OF
Delaware when it had the power to
make or unmake single line of the
laws Of this state. Several times the
Republicans have had a minority
representation in the General Assem-
bly,, and twice they have had a major
ity on joint ballot-in 1889 and at the
present session-but each time the
Democratic majority of the Senate
has controlled all legislation, and the
Democratic party is alone responsible
for the present condition of affairs in
the State. 1t is pertinent to ask the
tax payers if they are satisfied with
the management of affairs. True, the
educational influence of the grange,
the complaints of the people, and the
Republican representation in the Leg
islature, have forced from the ruling
party few concessions in the interests
of the people, but virtually we are
jogging along under the stage-coach
laws of sixty years ago-all except
official salaries and the burden of tax
alton which have been railroaded up to
date with electric speed. 1t is not
because the people of Delaware have
so wished it, but it has been of interest
to the ofice-holding class to so keep it,
and the people have submitted.

columns will reflect the opinion of its
editor, and while he always believed
in calling a spade by its proper name
when necessary to refer to spade, he
believes in honest differences of opin-
ion and numbers among his friends
many members of the great Democratic
family. 1t is not his mission to alien
ate such men from what is good in the
party by denunciation or abuse but
rather to reason with them, that the
results may be the greatest good to all
the people-to the town, and county,
and state and Nation. He has no
"great expectations" but believes
that the ripple caused by the dropping
pebble may 60 on and on in its course
until it circles the globe.

THE SD Congress is numbered with
the past. Over eighteen months ago
1t began its active labors of REFORM
with every branch of the general
government under Democratic con-
troll. The people have heard for years
of the wonderful reformation to be
brought about in all the affairs of
government once the Democrats
should have the power. Some good
people verify believed in that event
the land would flow with "milk and
honey" and great and sincere was
the rejoicing of the rank and file of
the Democracy when in November,
1892, the people accepting in good
faith their platform and party pledges,
elected Mr.. Cleveland and Demo-
cratic majority in both branches of
Congress. What has been the result9
We propose to await the answer from
our brethren Of the Democratic Press,
only adding that We think the people
are entitled to an answer t. the ques-

Taken In Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowedlto progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands Of cases which were thought
to be incurable, and after a fair trial
has effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted
Another important point about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are PER-
mantnt, because they start from the
solid foundation Of purified, vitalized
enriched blood. But it is not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does
that tells the story.

WASHINGTON LETTER,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4th, 1885,
There's a death at hand,
But stead Of the funeral bell,
There's joyful shout all over the land;
IT'S well, tits well. re-
Ifths adags "only speak well of the
dead" were literally followed it would
be impossible to speak at all of the
fity-third Congress, which drew its
last gasp at noon to-day. About the
best that can be said of the defunct
Congress is that it did not do all the
harm it might have done. and the
Democrat majority should receive no
credit for that, as their intentions
were to all the harm possible and it
was only by the alertness of the Repub-
licans that they were prevented from
carrying them all out.
About the only mournels in The
Congressional house of death are the
ex-members who know that their pub
lie careers are ended for good and all
and the Capital employees who only re-
ceive pay while Congress is in session.
Ex-Speaker Reed uttered a few
words while the House was discussing
under suspension of the rules a bill
appropriating $17, 500 to reimburse
Washington and Lee University. of
Virginia, for injuries sustained during
the war, which were as sound in prin-
.ciple as the foundation of common
law. After protesting against the bill
being considered on sentimental
grounds instead of the grounds of req
son and wisdom, Mr.. Reed said "Who-
ever provokes war must take the con.
sequences, even of lawlessness, which
destroys Institutions of learning. No
nation can afford to adopt the doctrine
that all injuries to such institutions
shall be paid after the war is over.o !
Ex-senator Manderson--(the "sxn
was attached at noon to-day)-tried to
accomplish what would have been
real reform just before completing his
Senatorial career. He failed, but that

pays the State to educate her children.
Delaware has no school system or
nothing worthy of the name but there
are excellent schools in all or nearly
all the incorporated towns, and many
countrydistricts maintain good schools.
1t is not of these schools we are now
thinking, but of schools for the col
ored children. The Every Evening
is authority for the statement, and it
should be good authority on that point,
that Delaware was the last of old
slave-holding States to devote public
money to the education of the colored
people. To-day, in proportion to her
ability, she is doing less than any
other Southern State in this direction. {"
This should not be. For the credit of
the State it should not be suffered
longer to continue. The negro is
among us and he should be given the
opportunities of an education that he
may become better and more useful
citizen. Ignorance is always danger
Gus. School facilities should be fur
nished for the colored children under
such restrictions and superintendency
as would encourage them to make the
best possible use of their opportunities.
We do not believe it wise at this time
for the General Assembly to authorize
any great public Improvement that
would increase taxation. but from the
condition Of the school monies, the in
crease of the school fund from the
license fees, we believe every patriotic
citizen will ap rove an increased ap-
preparation to the colored schools.
