Our Democratic fir ends have a
very poor opinion Of themselves
but it is not passing strange that
they should, after thirt " years of po-
litical methods as prac bleed by them.
The truth of this crop4 out at every
family snarl, when accusations Of
selling out" are cha Fged. and OF
course it is all laid to the door Of the
Republican party and its leaders.
The most recent laying by the ears
took place last week down in Sea
ford-a section of Sussex county
prolific in and by ID mocratic ma
iorities and election frauds that
would shame a New Y ork ward pol
itician. 1t appears Il lat one Henry
Lee Phillips was chosen at the last
election on the Democratic ticket for
Inspector of Elections for Seaford
hundred, but the "Boss rule" of the
Ross family who control the federal
appointments, has caused a regular
cyclone among the Democratic work
ers who have positively refused to
fire their political engine longer, and
have quit the job Phillips is one
of the main kickers, and his trouble
all came about by the Ross family
sitting down on him for postmaster.
To get square and block the custom
airy padding ofregistration practiced
by the leaders of his party-thus
breaking their power-he resigned
the Inspectorship and let RepuDli-
can be appointed by the Levy Court
man of the hundred-who happens
TO be a Republican.
This has let loose the tongues of
his fellow Democrats who denOunce
him as an migrate and political rene
gade, and Democratic papers charge
that mercenary causes actuated Mr..
Phillips. Here is a sample from the
Record:
Phillips was elected as a Democrat,
and Commissioner Green is Repub
lican. The latter,in accordance with
the authority conferred upon him by
law, has named Augustus O'Bier,
Republican, as Inspector to succeed
Phillips, and this change will make
the Board of Canvass Of Seaford
hundred Republican instead of Dem
ocratic. Phillips gives no reason for
his resignation, but Democrats fear
that emissaries of j. Edward Adj
dicks are moving to secure control
of the County Boards of Canvass,
and that this is their first step.
The Democrats have become so IA
miliar with crooked methods that
they distrust and suspect the acts of
each other. Bribery and corruption
have so long been weapons in their
hands. they naturally suppose that
Republicans will fall to their own
level.

"a
Governor 5 leaves vacancy in the
Senate, AID his Senatorial career
ends; but Section 4 says clearly that
he shall Exercise the office until a
Governor elected by the people shall
be duly q hali6ed, I" implying that the
Speaker shall then resume his Sena-
torial functions, although its words
in conjunction with Section 5, say
different. Even this part Of the
Constitui ion is confusing and clearly
shows tn need of a more clear and
comprehensive Constitution for the
State of Delaware.
The stating of Mr.. Dupont will
add one more gold, or single stand
ard morey man to the roll Of the
United States Senate, and while he
will probably represent the manufac-
turing Interests of Wilmington in
this particular, he will certainly mis-
represent the views of seven out of
every tel farmers of Kent and Sus-
sex counS ies. They have had enough
alreadysf "slngle standard" and
Glow tariff times. Our farmers re-
alize nof and will continue to real
ize by lcF prices of all kinds Of farm
products the hard times which have
so seriol sly pressed upon the labor
ers in M nufacturing districts, who
have bel n compelled to economic
even in ally necessities, because Of
the shril kage of our money circula-
tion and consequent falling off in
revenuel generally.
SomeI level must be reached
whereby gold and silver will circu-
late equally in America and a major
ity of tie farmers of Delaware are
holding this position to-day. For
this rea.on the people Of lower Del

Mr.. Dupont is seated or not.

Colonel DUPONT is not only an able
and honorable gentlemen, but he is

question that above all presses upon
public consideration at this time his
attitude is unequivocal. He is a

lines upon the question of seating

ware. The Senate will probably vote
upon the case upon the same party
basis, and unless the Populists OPP
pose him Mr.. Dupont will be seated
Thus the case of Mr.. Dupont stands,
but it will not be finally acted upon
before March. The entire question
hangs upon the right of Governor
Watson to vote in the Senate after
assuming the duties of Governor by
virtue of his position as President OF
the State Senate. A majority of the
committee appear to hold opinion
that the bungling old Constitution
Of Delaware meant more than it
clearly defined, and accepted as the
intention of the law that when Pres
ident Of the Senate took the oath of
office as Goyernor,it severed his for
mer official ties as Senator and he be-
came Governor in fact. Section 5,
of Article III, Of The Constitution
says: "No member of Congress, nor

Facts from a Democratic Document.

The Treasury Department has just
issued a diagram covering the trade
OF this country with foreign lands
from 1871 down to, and including
1895, 1t is a Democratic document
prepared by Democratic officials
1t should be posted on every granary
door of the farms of the county, and
in every school district building in
the land. The diagram shows plainly
that the period when this country
was enjoying her gratest volume OF
trade was under Republican admin
istrations; and notably during the
time that the Mckinley Protective
Tariff was on our statue books. 1t
shows three striking facts. First,
that the volume of our domestic ex-
ports WAS greatest by over 100000,
600 during the two or three years
Immediately following the passage
of the Mckinley act; second, that
the volume of those exports has not
only rapidly diminished under the
Observation-Disclosures, but especially
since the Democratic Free-Trade
Tariff act became law; third, that tue
value of the imports free of duty
was crater during the period COW
cred by the Mckinley act than at

Necessities born of social life and
advancing civilization are the real
measure Of wages. This question OF
wages is all-important as bearing up
on the question of consumption. All
production depends upon consump-
ton. Who are the consumersf In
the old days when the products of
manufacturers we're luxuries, the
lord and his retaIners, the lady and
her maids were the consumers, a
class apart by themselves, but to-day
the consumers are the producers.
Long ago the laborer consumed only
what would keep him alive. To-day
he and his wife and their children
are so UNNECESSARILY the most valu-
able customers that if the shop had
to give up the wealthy or those whom
it is the custom to call poor, there
would not be a moments hesitation
or a moments doubt.-Hon. 1hOs.
