JAMES G. SHAW ELECTED.

Proclamation Issued by Acting Gov.
Watson Declaring That the Three Kopub-
lican Presidential EIectors We're Chosen
by the People Of Delaware.
Acting Governor William T. Watson
Friday issued proclamation declaring
that James @. Shaw, Daniel M. Will
son and ID. J. Fooks have been elected
Presidential electors from this State.
Mr.. Watson stopped over in Will
mington on Friday and issued tho
proclamation which had been prepared
by Secretary OF State J.. Harvey White
man. The principle feature of the
proclamation is that the Governor de-
cidcs that James q. Shaw was among
others named as electors. In speaking
OF this decision Secretary OF State
Whiteman said TO a reporter Of The
Gazette:
( "This is pursuant to a we'll settled
principle OF law that the afiix 'Sr. is
no part of the name, and in the alb
sence of any word of description the
elder is meant. This has been decided
in the case OF Bate We. Burr decided
by the superior court of the State of
Delaware and. reported in Fourth Har-
rington at page $50, when the court
decided that where there are two per-
sons Of the same name, father and son,
Joseph Burr, Sir, aud Joseph Burr.
Jr.. an entry to Joseph Burr would
mean the father without any ex-
PLANTATION.
This rs an ancient principle OF law
that is supported by an unbroken
chain of decisions from Saltkeld
down"
According to the proclamation the
figures of the six highest candidates in
New Castle county are as follows
Shaw, II, 344; Wilson, 12,24s; Fooks,
-, 263; Rodney, 9,626 Harrington,
0, 632; Frame, 1851.
No figures are given for Kent county,
two separate certificates having been
received by the Governor, one not signed
by q majority Of the board OF canvass
land the other not meeting all the re-
iquirements of the law.
For Sussex the six highest candi.
dates have the following votes Shaw,
$3.50; Wilson, a,54l: Fooks, 4,542
Rodney. 3,791; Harrington, 3,703;
Frame, 3, $50.

In spite of the rumors as to the con
dition of the equipment Of the b. & o.
railroad, scarcely 6 per cent Of the cars
and locomotives are in the shops for
repairs. This is wonderfully good
showing, considering that the b. & o.
has S75 locomotives and 80, COO cars and
traverses very rough country. Much
of the equipment that was in bad
order at the beginning Of last year, has
been thoroughly repaired and IS again
in service. All but 16 Of the rs new
engines, which were ordered by the
receivers last spring, have been delivered
and are giving eminent satisfaction.

a combination between the elevators.
l don't think they would deny it. The
division superintendent inspects every
elevator on his division, no matter who
1t belongs to. He has access to the
hccks of a house, and consequently
must know all about what every COM
pany is doing and how much it is
paying for wheat. They are all under
him. He is boss of every elevator in
every town he goes into, no matter who
1t belongs to. This looks a little like
a combine How can there be any COM
petition with this state of affairs? If
the local buyer goes into the street and
offers more for wheat than the farmer
Is getting, he is reported at once and
he is given to understand that the Way
to buy wheat is to stay in your own house
and buy as instructed. In other words,
to steal at least one or two grades in
order to tally with the inspection of
Minnesota. The price cuts no figure.
l should think the people of Mime
sofa would be in love with the inspec-
tors and the inspection laws they have.
The inspector must know he will be
censured in the face of the sales by
sample to the millers, who are the only
true judges of the milling qualities of
wheat. If this wheat the inspector calls
stuff could not be manufactured into
good flour 1t would not be worth the
freight to Minneapolis.
The fact that it sells to competent
judges is evidence that it will make
good flour. The cost of cleaning does
not exceed half a cent per bushel, and
it is the finest milling wheat-as good
quality as We ever raised in the North
west.
I think the time is not far distant
when wheat buyers at country places
will go OH the street and
offer, according to their own Judgment
The buyers of today do not buy accord
ing to their judgment, but according to
instructions. Theyldo not tell the coun-
try buyer what it sells for, they tell
him what it grades, and they must hold
to grade. One remedy is to do as they

FRAUD IN GRADING,
A Farmer Criticises Methods of In
spectiop.
TO the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe
L am more than gratified to see Won
taking the interest you are in the farm
ers or the Northwest. There is no doubt
OF their being victimiZed to the extent of
from three to five cents bushel. The
inspection law of Minnesota is also an
other fraud practiced on the farmer
The intention of the law was that hon.
est and competent inspectors should be
appointed by the state for the inspec-
ton of the milling qualities of grain.
One of the greatest bugaboos against
the crop OF 1895 was the smut in most
all wheat. The wheat grown in the
Northwest last year, 1885, was the best
quality we have raised for years. a
very fine berry, never better; but the
inspectors Of Minnesota called it stuff.
The comments were on account of
smut. Now, who bought this wheat? ?
The fact is that the best judges of the
milling qualities of wheat were the
ready buyers. and, mind you, at price
within from one to one and half cents
of No. l hard price. The reason they
are the best judges of the milling quail
tiles is because they are millers and
know what they are doing. They don't
seem to be afraid of dirt or smut, be-
cause they can clean it for half a cent
per bushel. The law of Minnesota in
tended that the inspectors were to be
the judges of the milling qualities of
wheat, not the dirt or smut, because
any one knows what dirt is The wheat
that would sell in Minneapolis for with

would amount to from four to six cents.
