Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Camden, Jan. 1. Pomona Grange of
Kent county held largely attended
and enthusiastic meeting in the hall
OF Fruitland Grange Thursday. Il. c..
Bancroft presided and John W. Killen
was secretary.
The most important business was the
report OF the committee on resolutions
and an address by the lecturer, Prof.
Wesley Webb. The speaker handled
his subject, "Thc Evil of Bribery at
the Polls,' in such vivid, caustic
and fearless manner that the address
was ordered published us the official
utterance of the grange. The COM
mittee on resolutions reported the
following, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the right to use pub
lie roads by trolley or other transporta-
tlon 10 franchise too valuable to be
given away, and should be granted by
our Legislature only upon reasonable
equivalent. We believe that the fran
chise granted to the Dover & Milford
Electric Railway Co. is too loosely and
Literally drawn. We, therefore, hereby
petition the Legislature to amend the
aforesaid charter so that the company
shall bo required to lay a step or girder
rail OF feet S13 inches gauge, lay track
in tho middle of the highway, pave or
macadamize the road-b bed between the
rails and for the space of at least is
inches on each side thereof, and keep
the road bed in good repair.
Resolved, That in view of possible
change in our State Constitution
Pomona Grange hereby recommends all
subordinate oranges in the county to
mako a systematic study OF our present
constitution, in order that we may be
duly qualified to act intelligenty as
citizens and farmers when the time dp-
mands It.
Resolved, That this grange endorses
the position taken by the worthy lee.
turer in his paper, and hereby requests
that he publish il as the official utter
ance of Pomona Grange.
Resolved, That as means of increas.
ing the efficiency of our natural sur.
face roads we favor graduated system
of rebates for tires, 3, and inches
in width.
Resolved, That we place upon record
our unqualified endorsement Of the
Immigration act, commonly known as
the Stone act.
Resolved, That support should be
given the master of this grange in his
promised effort to revive the dormant
oranges of the counts by visiting com
mtttees, individual effort as he may
direct or otherwise. and that all efforts
in this direction should be in support
and through the county deputy.

THE BonNn4Rr LIVE.
What should BE Done, Now That the Com
missInnnrs HaYe Iilnd Their Kennrt

InisSioners Have Fitted Their Report.
Editort Gazette: 1t was stated
in your paper that tho commissioners
on the part of Delaware to fix the
boundary line between Delaware and
Penneylgania, had filed their report at
the Court House. But l do not think
that this is the finality of the thing.
1t will depend upon what the commits
sioners were instructed to do, and what
they did do.
Ii they have merely renewed the old
landmarks that we're established in
l70i, well and good. But if they have
gone further and changed that line
ever so little, their action will not be
legal vi ithout the assent Of Congress.
The boundaries between States are
regulated by the United States. To do
Justice and satisfy all parties it would
be better yet for the States of Delaware
and Pennsylvania TO request Congress
to appoint commission to settle this
boundary question, either according to
the original survey of 170l, or to run
o line in accordance with the evident
intent of the original pioprietories. The
United States engineers could do either
to nicely; and more, they could locate
the centre of the circle. For to survey
a circular line, the first departure
should be from the centre. -
From all the maps that have como
under my observation the northern
boundary of Delaware is not true
segment Of a circle. That is, if l2-
mile radius was run direct from the old
horse dyke at New Castle. to the north
eastern corner Of Maryland, it would
almost reach therc and there would be
very little Of the triangle loft. il the
circular line were run in accordance
with this base line.
We have as much right to protect
eyory man on the border in his rights
and properties as any man in the centre
of the State. And now is the time TO
take action, before the recent survey
has received the sanction Of Congress:
and in this the Levy Court Commits.
sionors Of New Castle county are intnr-
estod parties.
Nor should the Governor Of this State
permit any mans landed estate to be
Illegally, transferred from this State
into another.
Tho circular line was the older and
Of primo Importance; the tangent line
was later and Of secondary import.
